Conger, the United States Minister at Pekin, has an nounced in a cable to the State Department that the representatives of the Powers have reaohed an agree ment on the basis of Secretary Hay's proposition, which was that this Government would reduce its in demnity claims against China from $25,000,000 to $24,000,000 if most of the other Powers would reduce their Bhares proportionately. The total reduction will be about $10,000,000, thus making the total indem nity to be paid by China $433,000,000. There re mains to be settled, however, the important question of the demand of some of the Powers that the indem nity be paid on the basis of exchange at the present time instead of that on the date of the signature of the treaty. The Chinese Government contends that the indemnity payments are to be made on the latter basis, and in this contention the United States Gov ernment joins. Owing to the depreciation in the value of silver since the treaty was signed, if the de mand of the other Powers should be sustained, the in demnity payment would be increased by about $70,000,000. The statement of the New York Associated Banks last week showed comparatively unimportant changes. The reduction in cash reserve was $1,250,900. Loans were decreased $1,325,700 and deposits were $2,429,900 lower. The reserve requirements were reduced $607,475; this sum deducted from the $1,250,900 loss In cash left $643,425 as the decrease in surplus reserve, making this item $11,285,575.

The foreign exchange market has been generally firm this week, with fluctuations within a remarkably narrow range. The changes have been so slight as not to be quotable by fractions, and even quotations by decimals show small variation. One feature of the market, which was observable early in the week, was tbe offering of Bixty to ninety day bankers5 bills representing sterling loans. Later there were some of this class of drafts speculatively sold in the expec tation of covering or re-buying in August or Septem ber at a profit. These bills were promptly taken and their offering seemed to make no impression upon the market, for there was not the least change in rates. The only indication of activity was in sight sterling. There appeared to be a good demand for it on Mon day for the next day’s mail, but when this inquiry was satisfied, the tone grew a shade easier, recovering, how ever, on Thursday. Some business was done in cable transfers, which were firmly held throughout the week. Bankers reported that there were few com mercial bills except futures against grain exports, and there were not many drafts offered against securities, and none, so far^ as could be traced, representing transfers of collateral to tbe European centers. The Assay Office paid $778,638 32 for domestic bullion. Gold received at the Custom bouse duriDg the week, $80,815. Nominal rates for exchange were 4 85^@4 86 for sixty-day and 4 88@4 88£ for sight.

Short was also unaltered at 4 87f@4 87-J4 8735@4 8745. Cables were the same as on Friday, at 4 87^@4 88; decimally expressed they were 4 8785@ 4 8795, against 4 8790@4 88 on Friday. As above noted, there were some offerings of long bills on Monday and again on Tuesday, and an inquiry for short on the first-named day, but with these exceptions the market was without feature, and it so continued until Thursday, there being no change either in fractions or in quotations decimally expressed. On the abovenamed day, however, short advanced to 4 8740 @ 4 8750, fractional quotations remaining at 4 87f@ 4 87i, and the tone was firm. The market was steady on Friday at 4 8490@4 85 for long, 4 8740@4 8750 for short and 4 8790@4 88 for cables. The following shows daily posted rates for exchange by some of the leading drawers.

T H E R A IL R O A D S A N D C O M M E R C IA L E X P A N S I O N The address which Mr. Jam es'J. Hill of the Great Northern Railway Company delivered in Chicago on Wednesday of last week at the dinner of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association has attracted a good deal of attention, and deservedly so. The address is full of interesting thoughts and suggestions. Moreover, Mr. Hill shows a clear insight into the conditions which have raised this country to its present promi nence and prosperity, and which must govern its future growth and advancement. He possesses the faculty of lucid statement, and by means of facts and figures is able to bring these governing conditions into view in such a way as to make their bearing and effect ob vious even to the minds of those who have not made a study of the subject. A large portion of the address was necessarily de voted to showing the part played by our railroad transportation interests in promoting the Industrial progress of the United States, for these arteries of commerce lie at the basis of our national achieve ments. In discussing railroad matters, Mr. Hill is dealing of course with a branch of human endeavor of which he is master. B at he has no narrow concep tions. His horizon is an extensive one, and he takes large and broad views of things. Mr. Hill makes a statement which no one can controvert when he says that next to certain fundamental things which he mentions (such as religion and common LVOL. LXXIV. schools) no other single work enters into the wel fare and happiness of the people of the whole country to the same extent as the railway; no other work could have made it possible to occupy the enor mous stretches through the interior of our country, and people them with cities, towns and villages. His other statement also cannot be controverted, namely that while mistakes of j udgment or of intent may have been made in the management of the railroads, the result on the whole has been to create the most effective, useful and by far the cheapest system of land transportation in the world. He gives figures to illustate the truth of this latter declaration. In England the average amount paid by the shipper for moving a ton of freight 100 miles is $2 35; in France, $2 10; in Austria, $1 90; in Ger many, where most of the railways are owned and operated by the Government, $1 84; in Russia, where there is also Governmental ownership and where the shipments are carried under conditions more similar to our own than in any other country as respects long haul, $L 70. On the other hand, in the United States the average charge paid by the shipper is only 73 cents or less than 40 per cent of the average cost in Europe. This difference in favor of the American shipper is the more noteworthy as every article used by the railroads, including labor, costs mure in this country than it costs in Europe, with the exception of coal and right of way. Wages in the United States are as a rule more than twice as high. F ur thermore, the cost of the things used by the railroads is constantly rising. Mr. Hill takes as an instance the material in an ordinary box-car, the cost of which has increased in the past three years over 20 per cent. The manufacturer, when the cost of production is in creasing, is able to find compensation by raising the selling price of his wares; not so the railroad, rates of transportation in the United States having gone steadily down from year to year. The latest report of the later-State Commerce Commission shows that in the fiscal year ending Jane 30 1900 the average rate received per ton per mile by the railroads of the United States was only 729 thousandths of a cent, as against 9 ll thousandths ten years before in 1890. Mr. Hill’s analysis naturally brings him to a con sideration of the proposition of Government control of the railroads. The great reduction in transpor tation rates just noted has been brought about en tirely by the railways themselves in the effort to serve the public and promote their own interests—not by legislation or Government interference. It is now seriously proposed to hand these large transportation interests over to Government control. Two proposi tions are suggested—Government ownership or an in crease in the power of the Inter-State Commerce Commission. Mr. Hill is equally emphatic in his condemnation of both propositions. Th6 reader has doubtless noticed that every now and then covert in sinuations appear in the newspapers hinting that the great railroad combinations which have been the feat ure of the last two or three years are preliminary to a movement in favor of Government ownership—that the syndicates behind these combinations, while osten sibly opposed to Government ownership, are secretly in favor of it, hoping thereby to dispose of the prop erties to the Government at a high price. If any one has been inclined to credit these statements, Mr. Hill’s remarks will certainly servo to disabuse the mind. For while Mr. Hill has been very active in J une 14, 1902.] THE CHRONICLE railroad consolidation work, he Beta out the dangers of Government ownership in suoh trenohant words that it is difficult to see how any one can be found to argue in favor of the proposition after reading his remarks. The mere suggestion of the proposition, as he well says, arouses in the mind of almost every thoughtful man the fear that such power would end in the destruction of the Government itself. Aside from all economic questions and the increased cost to the public, either in direct advance of rates or in direct cost of increased taxation, it would mean the political appointment of an additional million of pub lic officials and the exercise of a power sufficient to imperil, if not to destroy, free Government in the United States. As to the other proposition, namely to increase the power of the Inter-State Commerce Commission,.he demonstrates that that would be no less dangerous. He believes that all public service should be regulated by fair and reasonable laws. Existing statutes furnish shippers full redress against the railways for any grievances they may have or for any damage inflicted upon them. In common with all practical railroad men of large experience, and with railroad students, he finds the existing powers of the Inter-State Com merce Commission as adequate and ample for the purpose. Giving the Commission the authority to fix rates, either in the first instance or the last instance, is a suggestion which cannot be defended. The only difference between a commission of five men fixing the rates on all the railways of the country and & commission operating under Government owner ship is a difference in name. In either case the busi ness of the country would be face to face with the worst financial crisis our people have ever been called upon to meet. “ Because difficulties have arisen in the enforcement cf the law growing out of failure to prove its violation, it is proposed to amend the law, not in such way as to make it less burdensome under given competitive conditions or to make proof of the violation of the law less difficult, but by conferring upon five men, or three, if the five do not agree, the power to regulate the earnings of railway companies by fixing rates. This is in effect to give to the Com mission, a political body, power to make or break railway companies, to send their stocks or bonds up or down in the market, to control importations, to limit exportations, to build up or ruin cities by estab lishing differentials, to array one section against an o th e r/7 Mr. Hill truthfully says that should the Commission be given rate-making power, it would have absolute dominion over the commerce of the country and over all interests dependent upon such commerce. Com pared with the evils which would result from the granting and exercise of such power, existing evils or alleged evils would be as nothing. He points out that it i 3 to the interest of the railroad to build up the territory tributary to it. The prosperity of the peo* pie served by the railway is the only path to prosper ity for the railway. The railway and its patrons must always prosper together or suffer together. Moreover, the greater the volume of business the lower the rates can be made. If, for instance, a railway has to raise one million dollars on a traffic of 1,000,000 tons, a simple calculation shows that its profits must be $1 a ton; if there are 2,000,000 tons 50 cents a ton; and if there are 4,000,000 tons 25 cents a ton will bring the same profit. In order to secure this additional ton 1223 nage, intelligent railway management is constantly called upon to secure for the producers on its various lines a market for their production, and if possible a return load for the car carrying such product to market. Mr. Hill gives an interesting illustration of how this principle has been observed from the very begin ning on his own system of roads, namely the Great Northern. On that point we cannot do better than to quote his own words: “ We have on the Pacific Coast the largest body of first-class saw timber left in the United States. When I first visited that country, with a view to extending our lines to the coast, I saw at once that unless we could carry their lumber to market at a price that would enable them to manu facture and ship it with a profit, our railroad would have no business. The first and great crop of that country is its lumber. We made a rate of 40 cents a hundred for 2,000 miles, or four mills a ton per mile, on this lumber, in order that we might load back the cars that carried out the merchandise to the West. This rate was necessarily met by other roads, and the result was the expansion of the lumber trade of Washington and Oregon, so that to-day it is over ten times what it was nine years ago, and in place of seeking additional loads for our cars from the West, we are now seeking additional loads for our westbound cars going out to be loaded with lumber for the great treeless States of the Middle West, and the develop ment of this Pacific Coast lumber traffic will work a greater change in the Oriental trade of the country than all the efforts of all the men engaged in that traffic.7 7 In connection with this phase of the matter Mr. Hill made some announcements that have an immense bearing on the future commercial expansion of the United States. He says that it was in order to keep pace with the enormous demand for the lumber of the Pacific Coast States that he has built the largest ships in the world. He then goes on to state that in that way he hopes to be prepared this fall to meet not only the rates of other trans-continental lines, both in the United States and in Canada, but the rates made by Bteamer from the Atlantic ports via the Suez Canal. In other words, every manufacturer reached by any railway in the United States will be able to ship his goods, Mr. Hill says, to the Orient by rail to the Pacific Coast and thence by steamer at rates that will compete with water transportation from the Atlantic seaboard to the East by way of the Medit erranean and Suez Canal. “ Ware it not for the cer tainty that there is a car load of lumber waiting for every empty car we can furnish on the Pacific coast we could not carry the Oriental business at twice the rates we will offer.7’ He then dwells on the great opportunities there are for developing our commerce with the East. Twenty years ago the foreign trade of Japan was not to exceed I I per capita of the population; to-day this trade is equal to 16 or 17 per capita of its population. In 1890 the entire foreign trade with China amounted to about 90 cents per capita. With a good stable government which will protect the Chinaman iu the fruits of his own labor and enterprise, there is no reason, Mr. Hill thinks, why the Chinese trade should not increase as rapidly as that of Japan has increased. The China man he considers the better merchant of the two. Should the Chinese trade increase to three or four dollars per capita, it would amount to more than the TH E 1224 GHK 0 N 1 CLE. entire exports of the United States, and surely this trade is worth striving for. With Manila as an American port in the East, and the best ships that oan be built, we should be able to maintain ourselves as a nation in the control of a large share of this traffic of the Orient. The address also contains some pertinent observa tions on the need of combinations of capital in carry ing on the enormous undertakings so essential in a country as large as ours. But that is a matter we need not touch upon on the present occasion. T H E G R E A T S I B E R I A N R A I L W A Y * St. P et e usBUitOr, R ussia, May 22, 1902. The dosing quarter of the last year has witnessed an event which will remain memorable in the annals of Russian history and memorable also in the progress of human enterprise in general. I refer to the driving of the last spike to the Great Siberian Railway. Although this great trunk line, cutting across two Continents, will hardly be open in its entire length for freight and passenger service before the fall of 1903, the Russian people can well be congratulated upon the success of having substantially finished such a gigantic task. Thus the much cherished plan of the late lamented Czar Alexander III. has now been crowned with success, in spite of difficulties which, in view of the climatic conditions prevailing through the whole of Siberia, seemed almost insurmountable to a good many even of the wiser heads. But the final achievement of this greatest of high ways built of steel has been due to that great feature of the Russian character, the almost fatalistic pa tience—a doggednesa “ never to be discouraged." EXTENT OP THE 11AJ LEO AD. Connecting at Tscheljabinsk with the railway sys tem of European Russia, the Great Siberian Railway now absorbs and unites what was formerly known as the Western and Central Siberian systems, and prop erly ends at the city of Irkutsk on Lake Baikal, hav ing a length of 3,048 werstf on its passage through Siberia alone. Its northernmost point is situated at Krassnojarsk and the most southerly one is at the terminus, i . e . , at Irkutsk. Near the latter place begins the Transbaikal Road of the Great Siberian System. About 60 werst from this city the trains are transferred to ferryboats— such as are common on the Great Lakes of the United States as well as in New York Harbor—which land passengers and freight on the eastern border of Lake Baikal. Although the Russian Government has spent a great deal of money to provide the strongest and most per fect ice-breakers possible, human ingenuity has had at times to yield to its stronger adversary—Nature. The cold has at times been so intense that the trans port of freight and passengers has been more expedi tious by sleigh across the frozen cover of Lake Bai kal. But in order to cope with all emergencies a short loop aronnd the Southern border of Lake Baikal is in course of construction. At the Station Kaidalowskaja the Transbaikal Sys tem of the Great Siberian Railway is split into two branches; the one leading east to Nertschinsk and * Oommunioated by our Special Correspondent at 8t. Petersburg, t One English mile equals one and one-balf werst, Russian. [Vol . LXXIV, Stretensk, having its terminal on the banks of the River Schilka, a distance of 1,096 werst from Irkutsk, on the eastern side of Lake Baikal, remaining all the time on Russian territory, known as the Northern part of the Maritime Provinces. The other branch also stretches in an easterly di rection, but further on turns down to the Chinese border line, which it crosses at a distance of about 325 werst from its starting point, Irkutsk. On the Russian side we have the station Sibir, and across the border line, Mandschourla, or Nagadan, as the Chinese call it. Prom the latter place the Eastern Chinese Railway, equipped with American locomotives—from the Quaker City, I believe—leads its way over Ohailar, Zizlkar and Charbin (Sungari), 1,440 werst from its starting point to the station, Pogranitschnaja. The Eastern Chinese Railway has a second branch line—with a length of 980 werst—from Charbin to wards the Southwest via Mukden to Daljni and Port Arthur, now the most Southerly port of the Russian possessions on the Chinese Sea. The main line of the Ussuri Railway leads from Wladiwostok, the largest Russian port on the Pacific, to Chaborowsk on the Amur, having a total length of 721 werst. Thus the Great Siberian Railway has a total length of 5,372 werst on Russian territory, and the Eastern Chinese Branch, with the Southern Mandschouria Railway, having 2,420 werst on Chinese territory, which makes a total length of 7,792 werst, distancing all previous records established by the Pacific trunk lines crossing the new world. Or, measured from the most western point on the European border of the Russian Empire to the eastern most point on the Pacific coast, the traveler will have to cover not less than 9,220 werst of railway to Port Arthur and 9,877 werst on a stretch to Wladiwostok— that is, in accordance with the schedules for the ex press trains. This figure well illustrates the vastness of this Great Northern Empire and this figure may at the same time indicate—to the uninitiated—what diffi culties had to be surmounted before this gigantic task could he put to a successful end; especially difficult became the work on the Eastern Chinese and on the Mandschourian Railway, as these two lines were hardly finished when the Chinese troubles began. USEPULXESS AS A MILITARY OE WAE MEASUEE. It is a good proof for the efficiency of the road that during the Chinese troubles the Russian Minister of War was able to direct about 220,000 men over the Great Siberian Railroad to the theatre of the Boxer rebellion, although at that time the road was only in course of construction and part of the troops had to be transported down the Schilka and Amur rivers on barges. The cost of this Transcontinental trunk line is at present exceeding the figure of 780,000,000 roubles, % which will be further considerably enhanced by the construction of the Loop around Lake Baikal, because the territory in its neighborhood—on account of the high mountains surrounding the lake—will offer many technical difficulties to the engineers called upon to solve this problem. Another expense in view will probably be the pur chase of heavier rails and the latter may be necessary t One dollar equals about !•& roubles. & J une 14, 1002.] THE CHRONICLE. 1225 before the whole system has had a fair chance to show its earning capacity. The Siberian Railway is of great importance to the welfare of the Russian Empire in political, or rather military respects, chiefly through the fact that Russia can transport as many troops as she likes in perfect safety from her Western frontier on the Baltic Sea to her Eastern outpost on the Pacific Ocean. All this time the troops would remain upon her own territory, as at the end of the Nertschinsk and Stretensk Branch, proper connections are made with steamer lines down the’rivers Schilka and Amur via Blagowjetschensk to Ohabarowsk, from where steamers can be had down the Amur, going straight north to its mouth with Nikolajewak as port on the Sea of Ochotsk; in a south, erly direction the Ussuri Railway leaves Chaborowsk, following upstream the river Ussuri for W ladiwosto^ the great Russian port on the Japanese Sea. When the various governments of .Western Europe will next consider mail subsidies, it is quite within the cards that the fast steamers will have to make their first surrender to the Fast Siberian Express, i . e . , as far as mail deliveries to Japan and China—with Hong Kong as the most southerly point—are concerned. 1 hear that the Japanese are making the most strenuous efforts to secure for their steamship lines the carrying of mails from the terminal points of the Siberian Railway to other ports on the Chinese and Japanese seas, and even across the Pacific Ocean. As far as the fast-freight possibilities are concerned, it is rumored here that Australian papers have been ventilating the question of establishing a line of steamers from a port in Queensland, say Brisbane, or from a point in Northern Australia to Port A rthur; this trip to require only about 8 days—which line would then make direct connections with the Siberian route, But of greater importance are undoubtedly the ad and could possibly deliver freight in quicker time vantages which Russian commerce and industries ex than on the long ocean trip from Sidney or Melbourne pect to derive from the great highway. via the Suez Canal to the London docks. HOW THE KAILROAD WILL DEVELOP COMMERCE. PASSENGER TRAFFIC. These are at first of local character, of course, i . e . , to say that Siberia and the Russian Maritime Prov ines (on the Pacific) will come into closer touch with each other; then we must further consider the better commercial relations and quicker transportation facilities which will be offered buyers and sellers in Russia proper and in her Asiatic dependencies. As soon as this superiority of the Great Siberian Railway is established, it would be quite natural to suppose that the passenger traffic must follow. But here I must put a little damper on the joyful thoughts of the Russian patriot and of those European and American tourists who ventured their opinions upon the subject, and who have made the trip in the summer-time. Ju st here is the rub. Through the international passenger traffic this line will probably profit, only, however, through the spring, summer and fall; but as for the six months of winter it will be another affair altogether. I t takes a Russian constitution to go through a winter at the capital, the present one having lasted not less than 5 months and 28 days; and here at the capital comfort and luxury are certainly not lacking; but the long winter in Siberia, with its Arctic night, will probably not tem pt many travelers outside of Russia to undertake a trip across the Asian Continent on the Great Siberian route, with all the risks to health that would involve, excepting perhaps those who have direct business in Siberia during the winter time, such as fur dealers, for instance. The Ministry of Finance has worked out time-tables which—provided the limit can be kept up—would make remarkably good connections. They are based on an average speed of 50 wersts an hour—which would not represent an exceedingly nigh speed—and on this basis the stretch from Moscow to Port A rthur would not require more than 8£ days, whereas at present it requires about 20 days. Such splendid results, however, could only be ob tained after the finishing of the loop around Lake Baikal and the laying of heavier rails wherever necessary. And then again there will be difficulties in the w i n t e r t i m e , which an engineer on any other road in Europe or America has hardly ever to cope with. In the summer time the schedule could be kept up with comparative ease; the more we approach the lands of the midnight sun—those clear nights, when evening and morning dawn melt into one, would be extremely favorable to the running of fast trains and would offer a new sensation to the fastidious globe trotter never to be enjoyed anywhere else. At present there are three weekly express trains, leaving Moscow for Irkutsk to provide the necessary In the second place we must view the advantage which Siberia herself derives from the railway in her relations as an exporting country—exporting her agri cultural products to the great consuming centres of England and Continental Europe as well. As far as Western Siberia is concerned, her efforts in placing dairy products, especially butter, on the principal English markets have been successful, and it is expected that meat, provisions, timber, lumber and grain will follow later on in larger volume than heretofore. The fact that for the current year the production of Siberian butter is expected to be about 50 per cent larger than for the past year must be accepted as a conclusive proof that the policy pursued by the Rus sian Minister of Finance, M. de Witte, has been a highly beneficial one to the empire at large. The third and much-contested point amongst the ad vantages to be derived from the Great Siberian Railway is the capacity of the road to carry freight from the Far East in transit to Western Europe and vice versa. As soon as the earnings of the Great Siberian Rail way will admit the putting on of express trains for the freight service, I think that there is a good chance for the road to carry the more valuable freight, such as silk, tea, etc., which especially suffer somewhat by the sea voyage and, through their intrinsic value, can afford to pay a higher freight than steamer rates. The advantages of rapid transit across two conti nents are already shown in the far better mailing facilities; when about two years ago it took almost 50 days for a letter from Wladiwostok to reach the capi tal of all the Russias, such letters are delivered in 21 to 23 days, and that even now in the winter time. The mail from other important places in the far East has lately required 23 days from Newchwaug 1 24 days from Port Arthur | 10 days from Chailar (Mandschouria) [ t0 23 days from Yokohama Peter8tmr& - 1226 THE CHRONICLE transportation facilities for the passenger traffic be tween Russia proper and Siberia in both directions; no special provisions have as yet been made for transit passengers from Western Europe to the two principal porta in the Far East, situated on Russian territory, i. e„, Wladiwoatok and Port A rthur. The “ train de luxe," however, which leaves Mos cow once a week is considered “ up to the m ark" in every respect, but thus far it can not proceed beyond Irkutsk. In order to draw part of the annual passenger traf fic away from the steamer lines, say about 50,000 pas sengers each way, two express trains a day would be necessary, with a change of cars at Moscow and I r kutsk for passengers from or to Western Europe. As soon as the necessary rolling stock can be sup plied for the road—which, of course, is a State railway, being built, managed and owned by the Imperial Gov ernment of Russia—the advisability and practicability, at the proper seasons, of the overland route will im press themselves upon all likely passengers on account of the extremely cheap rates, Russia having the passenger tariff “ by zones,” «. e . , on a sort of a wholesale principle, the further you go the lower the rate per werst (or mile). I expect to revert to this subject at length in a special article later on in the season, the subject having been treated by one of your former Treasury officials in one of your monthlies towards the end of last or the beginning of the present year. As far as the carrying of the mails is concerned, we run up against the remarkable fact that the treaties be tween Russia and her Western neighbors, principally Germany and Austria, do not provide for any money consideration in exchange for the carrying of the mails, i. e., the contracting parties transport all mail m atter free of charge for each other, which is quite easy, as the three States enumerated above own all their principal trunk lines and the charters of all private lines, which m ight be called upon to carry mail matters, contain, I believe, a clause which calls for the free carriage of the mails. W hether Russia would be willing to carry mails free which are directed from a foreign country to a foreign country is a question which will probably be ap proached in the future, but at any rate I believe that the carrying of the mails by the overland route will not be as costly as th at practiced upon at present by steamers, which upon the long voyage to China and Japan make too many stops, on the way out at least. These are about all the principal tasks which the Great Siberian Railway will have to face, and as the Ministry of Communications is subject to the final control of the Minister of Finance, M. de W itte, there is no doubt th at the prospects are good ones. Once the Great Siberian Railway, placed on a sound footing, its projected parallel line in a more southerly latitude, the Taschkent-Peking Railway, a continua tion of the Central-Asiatic Railway, and th eK jach ta Peking Railway, connecting the former with the Great Siberian route, will receive proper considera tion by the highest Russian Government circles. This intention to approach the various sections of Assia with each other has clearly been set forth through the projected Orenburg-Taschkent Railway, to which the first spade has been driven a few months ago. This line will connect the Russian possessions and protectorates in Central Asia (Turkestan, Bokha ra, etc.,) with the sections in the neighborhood on the [Vol. LXXIV. Eastern Bide of the Ural Mountains, thus forming a well designed step towards the development of Sibe ria, about which I expect to entertain your readers later on in the season. IN T E R S T A T E COMMERCE COMMISSION— IT S POW ER TO M A K E R ATES. We have received the following answer to Mr. E. P. Bacon's communication In the C h r o n i c l e of May 31st on the proposed grant of power to the Inter State Commerce Committee to make railroad rates. While not by any means closing the discussion, the communi cation contains in definite shape information upon points touched by Mr. Bacon which is of decided in terest in this controversy. J u n e 3 1902. The E d ito r o f The Commercial and N ew Y o rk C i t y : F inancial Chronicle, Dear Sir — have read with a great deal of interest the I various editorials in the Chronicle upon the proposed amendments to the Inter-State Commerce Act designed to confer the rate-making power upon the Commission, and also Mr. E. P. Bacon’s communication of May 20th last, pub lished in your issue of May 31st. Thinking it may possibly be of interest, if not of assistance, I take the liberty of sub mitting some observations on Mr. Bacon’s communication. Mr. Bacon says that railways are public highways, and that railway corporations are performing a public service, which should, therefore, be performed in the same manner as if done by the Government itself. This generalization, being incorrect, naturally proves mis leading. Neither in this country nor in Great Britain, from which we derive the principles of our government, has it ever been regarded as a governmental function—except in rare and temporary cases—to operate railways or other means of transportation, It has been deemed a governmental function to provide ordinary highways, but never to operate vehicles upon them. Not even the highway has ordinarily been provided by the government in the case of railways. The provision of the highways, as well ss the operation of the conveyances upon it, has been left to private capital and enterprise. It would no doubt require an amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States before the United States could operate railways. This is simply another evidence that such operation is not a purely governmental function. It is, therefore, unwise to reason from such faulty prem ises. The declaration that railway transportation service must be performed in the same way as if performed by the Government itself is without foundation, and, moreover, makes no progress toward a solution of the question. If a governmental function and performed by the Government, the|Government would have absolute discretion as to how it would perform it. Perhaps the only substantial principle deduced by Mr, Bacon from the fallacy with whioh he starts out is that rail way service must be performed at rates no greater than are necessary to afford a reasonable return upon the capital honestly invested iu the property used for the purpose. This is a very startling proposition. It seems the Government has never exercised the right, if it has it, to operate the railways. I know of no reason, therefore, either in law or in morals, why the Government should prevent the individuals who choose to invest their money in these enterprises from reali zing a return commensurate with the risks incurred and the energy and skill employed, and from realizing enough in prosperous years to carry them through years of depression. I do not understand that Mr. Bacon’s rule makes allowance for these considerations. A corollary to his proposition would seem to be tbat if the railroad in performing this alleged public service shall not realize m ore than a reasonable return, it shall likewise be guaranteed by the Government a# least a reasonable return. This feature, however, seems to be lacking in Mr. Bacon’s plan. Perhaps the most vital objection is that Mr. Bacon is deal ing in a purely theoretical way with an essentially practical subject. By the application of false theories he arrives at an unjust and unworkable rule. Owing to the infinite compli cations of modern railway transportation, it is utterly in\ J une 14, 1902.J THE CHRONICLE possible to estim ate the cost of perform ing any given service or to estim ate in advance the cost of perform ing the aggre gate service rendered by a railw ay company. Hence, the proposition th a t rates should be fixed on the basis of cost of service, plus a reasonable profit, is w holly im practicable. Moreover, no shipper’s satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the rate charged him has any relation w hatever to the aggre gate income or profits of th e company, and it can have no relation to the profits upon the p articu lar service performed for him , because those profits cannot be ascertained. Mr. Bacon is likewise purely theoretical in his a rb itrary assumption th a t rates are paid by consumers except in case of agiicultu ral products, where they are paid by producers, and th a t they are not paid by the middle men. The obvious tru th is th a t the distribution of both the cost and the profits of industrial and m ercantile activity is affected by so many factors th a t it is impossible to lay down any rule on th e sub ject. I understand th a t several years ago the rates on m ilk from a considerable section to New York City w ere very m aterially reduced, b u t th a t th ereafter the dairym en got no more for their m ilk and the consumers paid no less th a n be fore, i . e., the m iddle men absorbed the reduction. Mr. Bacon simply adds confusion to the discussion by saying th a t the rate-m aking power is in effect a tax-levying power. A railroad rate is not a tax , differs from a tax in many more ways th an it resembles a tax, and cannot possibly be regu lated according to principles of taxation. The simple, practical tru th , fully recognized by th e railroad companies, is th a t the railw ay business is a business affected w ith a public use ju s t as is a warehouse business, and is there fore subject to governm ental regulation to prevent UDjust discrim inations and extortions, and the question of course is w hat evils exist in these respects and w hat are reasonable and proper m ethod of rem edying them . I am not aw are th at any of the argum ents by Mr. Bacon, or any of those co-oper ating w ith him can be reduced to this practical plane. Mr. Bacon’s im plication th a t th e Inter-S tate Commerce Commission was designed as a trib u n al for affording sum m ary relief is a t variance w ith the report of the Senate Select Committee of 1888, from w hich he quotes, as th a t report distinctly indicates th a t the Commission was sim ply designed as an auxiliary trib u n al to aid the shippers and to aid the courts, and was not intended to have any independent power w hatever or to do anything more th an obtain in for m ation and set in motion the processes of the courts. T hat report shows, moreover, in the plainest possible way, th a t the Commission was not designed to have any rate m aking power. Mr. Bacon in effect alleges th a t tb e power of the Commission to m ake rates was not questioned un til 1897,when the Supreme Court decided th a t the Commission did not have th a t power. In 1887 the Commission itself announced th a t it had no power to fix rates generally. In 1889 and 1890 Judge Jackson, hold ing the U nited States C ircuit Court, indicated th a t the InterState Commerce A ct did not contem plate the m aking of rates. In 1891 the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company denied in court the Commission’s authority to m ake rates. In 1893 the Commission itself stated in one of its decisions th a t some carriers continued to deny its power to fix rates upon com plaint. In 1898 the Louisville & Nashville R ailroad Com pany challenged the Commission’s pow er to m ake rates in the first case affecting th a t company in which th e Commis sion assumed to exercise th a t power. In 1895 the Commission in its annual rep o rt asserted th a t its power to make rates had been denied, th a t this dissenting view was not unsup ported by argum ent, and asked Congress to confer the ra te m aking power upon it. In 1896 the Supreme C ourt decided in the Social Circle case th at the Commission had no power to m ake rates. T h at C ourt’s decision in 1897 in the “ m axi mum rate” case was simply an approval of its decision to the same effect the year before. Mr. Bacon’s statem ent th a t the exercise by the Commission of the rate-m aking power for the first ten years of its exist ence produced the most satisfactory conditions in tran sp o rta tion affairs th a t have ever existed in the history of the ra il road service of the country, is not supported by, b u t is incon sistent with, the facts. The principal evils existing now and in the past have been those incident to secret concessions in rates. There is nothing to indicate th a t these same evils did not exist during the first ten years of the life of the InterState Commerce A ct to the same extent as a t present, if not 1227 to a greater extent. There has been a steady dow nw ard tendency in rates which was in no way 'arrested by the de cision in the m axim um rate case. Mach stress has been laid upon certain increases in rates by changes in classification about two years ago, but though num erous com plaints were filed w ith the Inter-State Commerce Commission, and though it has the undoubted au th o rity under the present law to de clare those increases unreasonable, and to take steps to pre vent their continuance, the Commission has not in a single instance declared any of those Increases to be unreasonable. Certainly com plaints as to unjust discrim inations between localities are no more num erous or serious than in the j>ast. Mr. Bacon’s statem ent th a t the Corliss bill does not con tem plate empowering the Commission to issue a schedule of rates is incorrect. In the C incinnati and Chicago freight bureau cases the Commission undertook to exercise precisely the power conferred upon it by the Corliss bill, and in those cases it in effect prescribed a schedule of rates on upw ards of tw o thousand articles from Cincinnati and Chicago to practically all points in the Southern States. This is a p rac tical illustration, not m erely of the au th o rity conferred by the bill, but of the extensive use the Commission will make of it. Mr. Bacon’s reference to the average delay of four years in enforcing the Commission’s orders under the present p ro cedure is misleading. According to the present procedure it is the duty of the C ircuit Court to afford a speedy hearing of the proceedings instituted by the Commission or others for the enforcem ent of the Commission’s orders, and to enforce all law ful orders of the Commission. No appeal taken by th e carrier from a decision of a C ircuit Court enforcing an order of the Commission can suspend the enforcem ent of th a t order pending the appeal, unless th e C ircuit Court affirma tively perm its such suspension. The only delay, therefore, there need ever be in th e enforcement, of a law ful order of the Commission is th e tim e w hich it takes for a C ircuit Court to render a decision upon it. Of course, if the C ircuit Court, upon a consideration of all the circum stances of the case, believes it w ill he more ju st to suspend the enforcement of the order pending an appeal, it is obviously proper th a t the order should be suspended. Moreover, an exam ination of the num erous cases w hich the Commission has taken into the courts will show th a t only in one out of all of those cases, probably fifteen in num ber, was the Commission finally sustained by the Court. The fact is, therefore, th a t practically all the Commission’s orders w hich it attem pted to enforce in court tu rn ed out to be unlaw ful and were never enforced at any tim e. The duration of the litigation over tht S3 unlaw ful orders, th ere fore, throw s no light cn the tim e it w ould take to secure en forcem ent of the Commission’s law ful orders. The fact is th a t the Commission’s law ful orders are almcsfc w itnout ex ception prom ptly complied w ith by th e carriers w ith o u t the necessity of going into court at all. Mr. Bacon states th a t as a m atter of fact no ruling made by the Commission during the ten years when it was its practice to prescribe the rate to be substituted for one found to be wrong has ever been set aside by the courts on the ground of its being inequitable or unreasonable. If by this he means to imply th a t the courts have always approved of the reasonableness and propriety of the Commission’s orders, bis statem ent is altogether misleading. Most of the cases in volving orders of the Commission have, w ith greater or less emphasis, pointed ont th a t the orders w ere inherently un reasonable and im proper, aside from the question of the Commission’s power to m ake the orders. See especially the following cases : K. & I. Bridge Co. vs. L. & N. RR. Co., 37 Fed. 567; I. C. C. vs. B. & O. RR. Co., 45 Fed. 87, 145 U. S.; I. C. C. vs. D. L. & W. RR. Co., 64 Fed. 724; I. C. C. vs. Ala. Mid. Ry. Co., 69 Fed. 227, 74 Fed. 715; I. C. C. vs. L. & N. RR. Co., 73 Fed. 409; I. C. C. vs. Lehigh Valley RR. Co,, 74 Fed. 784; I. C C. vs. W . & A. RR. Co., 88 Fed. 186, 93 Fed. 83, affirmed by Suprem e C ourt; I, C. C. vs. C. B. & Q. RR. Co., 98 Fed. 173, 103 Fed. 249, ju st affirmed by Supreme Court. Mr. Bacon’s assum ption th a t investors have ample protec" t ton in the power of the courts to set aside rates fixed by the Commission, if too low, is unw arranted. It is clear th a t the courts would not be disposed to exercise any control in the premises, even if they had it, except in cases where the Com mission had been guilty of a palpable abuse of power and had fixed rates w hichjpractically am ounted to confiscation. T has, THE CHKONICLE. 1228 for practical purpoaee, virtually the entire margin of profit would be subjected to the absolute discretion of the Commis sion, a tribunal not fitted either by experience or tempera ment to make rates, and wholly incapable of coping with the almost infinite factors and details which would be involved, Mr, Baker assumes that the rate-making power assumed by the Corliss bill would be of a very limited character, and that there is at present no substantial control over railroad rates. There is now adequate power and reasonable pro cedure for correcting any rates which are unreasonably high or unjustly disciiminating. Under the Corliss bill the Com mission would virtually become traffic manager of every railroad in the country to whatever extent it might choose to assume that position, and there would be far less judicial restraint upon the acts of the Commission than there now is upon the acts of the railroad companies, for the restraint upon the railroads is adequate and the restraint upon the Commission would not be. Yours truly, B. B. R A IL R O A D GROSS E A R N IN G S FO R M A Y . [Vol. LXXIV. Of course the continued activity of general trade in the U nited States accounts for these u n in terru p t edly favorable reports of earnings. The prosperity of all classes with the large consuming capacity of the population resulting from th a t cause adds on the one hand to the volume of the freight traffic and on the other hand stimulates travel over the railroads, while in addition railroad rates are well maintained at fairly good figures. In one part of the country there was an adverse feature which must have had consider able influence in reducing the revenues of the roads directly affected. We refer to the strike of the miners in the anthracite region. This strike began May 12 and lasted throughout the month. O ar present state ment, however, does not include returns from any of the anthracite roads, none of which furnishes early preliminary figures. I t is hence likely th at when the statements of these roads are received later in the m onth,the favorable result now disclosed may to some extent be modified. The grain movement was notably small. A few typical illustrations will serve to indicate the situa tion in th at regard. Of wheat the receipts at the Western primary markets for the five weeks ending May 31 were only 7,872,789 bushels, against 12,245,810 bushels in the same five weeks of 1901 ; of corn the deliveries were only 8,681,898 bushels, as against 19,723,501 bushels ; of oats 13,281,540 bushels against 17,249,355 bushels ; in the case of barley the receipts ran about \ million bushels larger th an last year, but taking wheat, corn, oats, barley and rye together, we get a total of receipts for the five weeks the present year of only 31,535,123 bushels, as against 50,732,773 bushels. The loss, therefore, was over 19 million bushels, representing, say, roughly, half a million tons of freight. The following gives the details of the grain movement in the usual form. I t will be ob served th at even the wheat receipts at Minneapolis and D uluth were smaller than last year notw ithstand ing th a t the spring-wheat crop of 1901 ran much ahead of th at of 1900. Because of this larger wheat yield.it is to be presumed th at the railroads in that part of the country had an increased wheat traffic, even though the shipments to the points mentioned fell below a year ago. There is nothing new to record concerning the gross earnings of U nited States railroads. As for so long past, the returns are encouraging in the extreme. In face of a smaller grain movement and a smaller cotton movement, the totals keep steadily increasing. A few roads lying in the section where the crop short age last season was most pronounced, and where the carriers are more exclusively dependent upon the agricultural yield than elsewhere, have fallen some what behind in their earnings as compared with a year ago; but speaking of the railroad system of the country as a whole, continued improvement in re ceipts is still the most conspicuous feature. The compilations which we present to-day cover the m onth of May. They embrace the results of 84 roads operating 91,858 miles of line. On these roads there is a gain in earnings over the same m onth last year in the sum of $4,619,227. The length of road at 91,855 miles compares with 90,262 miles in the p re vious year. Hence we have an increase in revenues of 9TB per cent, with an increase of only 1*76 per cent in mileage. The May statem ents of earnings have been strikingly good for several successive years, making the fa rth e r expansion in receipts the present year the more significant and im portant. Thus th is year’s improvement of $4,619,227, or 9T8 per cent, follows an increase of 15,236,185, or 10*04 per cent in May 1901, which in tu rn followed an increase of RECEIPTS OF FLOUR AND GRAIN FO R FIV E W EEK S ENDING MAT 3 1 . $4,984,647, or 10*30 per cent, in 1900, and this in AND SINCE JANUARY 1 . tu rn succeeded $2,708,016 increase in May 1899 Oats, Bariej/, C om , Rye, W h ea t, F lo u r. over 1808, which latter had itself recorded $5,648,580 (b u sh .)

THE GENERAL MANAGER. Mr. Clouston then sa id : There is nothing of unusual interest calling for comment in the state ment we lay before you this year. I t shows a steady increase in our busi ness and a corresponding increase in our profits. The following are the principal changes as compared with last year. Our circulation has increased $525,000 and the deposits $14,139,000, making our total deposits here and in other countries $86,825,633; quite a respect able amount, but still not large as compared to the deposits of banks with smaller capital in Great Britain and the United States. Our readily available assets have increased about $ 1 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 , and our loans and discounts $4,360,000. The overdue debts, secured and un secured, are $77,000 greater, but we believe that we have amply pro vided for any possible loss. The profits show an increase of $63,630, after paying all charges of management, all additions and repairs to our bank premises, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts. I think you will agree with me that the statement is a fairly satis factory one. Nor have i anything of Importance to say on matters outside our own statement. Generally speaking, the past year lias been a prosper* o 11 one for Canada, and so far the hand of the commercial barometer still stands at “ fair,” The revenues of the country are large; rail way eai plugs are steadily Increasing; farmers are prosperous; the outlook or lumber Is Improving, and the tide of immigration has set in with E. 8. CLOU8 TON, General Manager. greater volume, ensuring to Western Canada, and indeed to the whole country, more rapid progress in population and material prosperity. The natural resources of the country are being steadily developed; the output of coal is inoreas ng, and it looks as If we wore on the eve of im portant results in the iron and steel Industry. There are indications also that the recent consolidation of Atlantic steamship lines by au American syndicate will compel Canada, In self-defence, to take up the question of a fast Atlantic service, and if we wish to secure immigra tion, retain the traffic properly belonging to our own ports, and safe guard the interests of our commerce, we must see th a t the service, both passenger and freight, is second to none in speed and equipment. There have been exceptions, .and some industries have not shared in the general prosperity, but these can in most cases be traced to undue competition and bad management. Mining in British Columbia is still highly unsatisfactory, and it may be' some time yet before it re covers from the collapse of the last two or throe years. The Stock Exchanges of Canada have shown an activity unexampled in the history of the country, and though speculation has been rife, there lias been a certain foundation for the advance in the quotations of securities, and it is not entirely the wild, reckless state of affairs that foreign crities profess to believe exists here. Still, there is danger of speculation being'carried beyond legit imate bounds, and we have probably reached a point where investors and lenders would do well to look more closely Into the inlriusio value of I lie securities they purI chase, or accept as collaterals. 1236 I'HB ( HRON1CLB [V O L .

Compared with the proud satisfaction we feel at having had a share It there are any qneationa relative to tlie buaineee ol the bank on which the shareholder* wish explanation, i shall he pleased to answer in bringing the harassing and protracted struggle to a successful termi nation, all the sacrifices made by the country are trivial. But the them. gratitude we owe to those who fought and bled for us will never, I trust, be forgotten. The glorious record of courage and endurance THE CHAIUMAN’8 ADDRESS. made by her sons has lifted Canada into a higher plane of national Hon. George A. Drummond then mid: life. G enii . e m e n ; -The statements presented by Mr. (Houston will, no The auspicious visit last autumn to this country of Their Royal doubt, be received by you with satisfaction, showing as they do the Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York was the occa sion of the uuani luous display of loyal welcome from one end of the prosperity and progress of the bank. That it has made substantial progress you may gather from the fig Dominion to the other, and was happily marked by the absence of ures periodically submitted to you. misadventure of any kind.

I move that tin-report of the Directors be adopted and printed for $35,250,000. In L8 8 G they were nearly 45 millions ($44,661,681). distribution among the shareholders. in 1890 th e y w ere o v er 46 m illio n s ($46,166,448). In 1900 they were nearly 79 millions ($78,852,197). And in the present year over U>0 millions t$l 14 000,000). The keen competition among banks necessitates a greatly enlarged business to maintain dividends, and the public gets its financial busi ness done much more cheaply now than formerly. The increase of our rest by one million of dollars will, no doubt, com mend Itself to your judgment as a prudent step, and should enhance the value of our property. The large ad d itio n to our H ead Office Building, now in progress, was rendered necessary by the inconvenient overcrowding of our present premises. The addition is on a considerable scale, and will, it is hoped, suffice for tlte wants of the bank for years to come. Large as it is, however, it is not more in advance of our present wants than our pros, ent structure was when erected to the, conditions then existing The beautiful facade of our present building will not be impaired; but the interior will be remodeled to adjust it to the now premises and make it fireproof. The marked increase in the general banking business of the Dominion is an evidence of the prosperity of the country. Since April, 1897, flic total assets of all the banks have increased from $243,400,000 to $448,300,000; the deposits alone having risen from $196,700,000 in the *ormer year to $339,000,000, and the note circulation from $30,800,000 to $50,700,000. The Bank of Montreal lias fully shared in the great improvement In business above noted, the general increase in the public deposits in the last five years being equal to 72x per cent, and that of our bank alone -2 considerably exceeds 1 0 0 per cent. The conservative course of your directors in continuing to strengthen the resources of the Bank will, I am sure, meet with your approval, for while the general prosperity of the country shows no sign of abate ment, it seems an undeniable proposition to say that had times may be expected sooner or later. In commercial matters generally nothing is so striking as the growth of the foreign commerce of the Dominion. In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, that is to March 31st, the aggregate foreign trade has reached $302,500,000, as compared with $282,300,000 in the corresponding period of the preceding year, while only five years ago our foreign commerce for the entire period of twelve months barely reached $249,000,000, a figure which, in the fiscal year ending this month, will probably be exceeded by more than 50 per cent. This ex pansion covers both exports and imports. The most gratifying feature of the trade returns is the increased sales abroad of Canadian products, which from 1st July to 1st April amounted in value to $144,547,000, and for the full period of twelve months will probably exceed $190,000,000; whereas six years ago the value of our shipments was only $ 1 1 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 . Products of the soil still constitute much the largest portion of this trade; but it is satisfactory to note th at in manufactures the increase is about 30 per cent, or as $12,000,000 to $9,800,000; and I need scarcely refer to the enormous activity in the production of iron, steel, nickel, etc., to say nothing of the extraction of the precious metals, which for the present is under a cloud. Meanwhile the carrying trade of the country has been in an unprec edented state of activity and prosperity; the great railways are spending liberally on track improvements and rolling stock to meet the demands on them, and new trunk lines are under construction. Immigration is increasing rapidly, and will have a favorable influ ence in every direction. Lands, especially in the Northwest, which have for years been in little demand, have latterly been actively sought for and taken up. Turning to general conditions outside of the Dominion, the immense aggregations of capital in the hands of corporations and individuals is bringing about economic results of the most startling character. The control of railway lines, the absorption of ocean transports, the con solidation of industries, all fly directly in the face of economic theories based on unlimited competition, and he would be bold who attempted to predict the outcome. No fewer than four new banks were incorporated during the present session of Parliament. Questions of vital importance to ourselves and the Empii’e are to be considered by the Imperial Government and the premiers of the col onies, at the conference to be held in London; its decisions will be watched with absorbing interest and involve momentous possi bilities. The present moment seems to be most favorable for securing an in dependent line of steamships to a Canadian port. They should in speed and equipment be equal to any afloat, and the prospects of finan cial success for the undertaking were never, in my opinion, so bright as now, while its realization would be of enormous benefit to tills country. I t is with the highest satisfaction and gratitude that we receive to day the news of peace in South Africa. THE REPORT ADOPTED. Mr. A. T. Paterson, In seconding the motion for the adoption of the report, said that it was quite unnecessary to add anything to the re marks which had fallen from the Oh sir, and to the statement made by the General Manager, beyond stating that he enolrely concurred in them, and endorsed them. There was one;tliing, however, to which lie might refer, and that was that on that day he had come of age, not personally, but as a director of the Bank, and he wished to take the opportunity of thanking the shareholders for their long-continued con* fldence in him. He also wished 1 o say that his many j ears’ expe rience as a director enabled him most thoroughly to endorse the statements made as to the improvement in the position of the Bank. After a few remarks by Mr. John Morrison, the motion for the adop tion of the report was unanimously agreed to. Hon. James O’Brien moved : “That the thanks of the meeting be presented to the President, VicePresident and Directors for their attention to the interests of the bank.” This was seconded by Mr. Donald Maemaster, K. C., and having been adopted unanimously, was acknowledged by the Chairman. Mr. E. B. Greenshields moved: — “That the thanks of the meeting be given to the General Manager, the Inspector, the Managers and other officers of the bank, for their services during the past year.” The motion was seconded by Mr. James Ross, and the Chairman having added that he fully concurred in it, and thought it was exceed ingly well deserved, It was unanimously carried, and was acknowl edged by the General Manager. Mr. George R. Hooper moved: — “That the ballot now open for the election of Directors be kept open until 3 o’clock, unless fifteen minutes elapse without a vote being cast when it shall be closed, and until that time, and for that purpose only, this meeting be continued.” This was seconded by Mr. C. J. Fleet, and unanimously agreed to. On the motion of Mr. John Morrison, seconded by Mr. A. F. Gault, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the Chairman for his conduct of the business of the meeting, and he acknowledged the same. THE DIRECTORS.

The labor situation in the anthracite coal regions rem ains unchanged in general feature and it still appears likely th a t when the strike is ended the m iners will have retu rn ed to work or their places have been filled by others. In the m eantim e there is ample evidence of general business a c tiv ity, and this promises to be augm ented by abundant harvests. The money m arket continues easy and the dem and for for eign exchange is limited. The open m arket rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange during the week on Mock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2% to 3% per cent. To-day’s rates on call 2% to 3 per cent. Prim e commercial paper quoted a t 4% @ 5 per cent. The Bank of England weekly statem ent on Thursday showed an increase in bullion of £760,964, and the percent age of reserve to liabilities was 52’00, against 50’08 last week; the discount rate rem ains unchanged a t 3 per cent.

The outside speculative interest in the market has largely withdrawn, and the operations by regular dealers have been confined largely to scalping transactions. The weather re ports from the cotton belt, especially in the Southwest, have been the principal factor. Numerous complaints have been received from Texas saying that the crop is in need of rains, and advices received from some sections east of the Missis sippi report the condition of the crop as deteriorating, owing to the absence of sufficient moisture. Based on the less favor able crop reports from the South, the tendency of prices, es pecially forthe newcrop deliveries, has been towards a slightly higher basis. Cable advices were received on Thursday saying that a heavy monsoon storm had broken over India, and this, it was claimed, insures a good cotton crop for India. To-day there was a steadier market, the continued dry weather in the Southwest inducing some speculative buying, largely,by room traders, and prices advanced a few points. The close was steady at a net gain for the day of 4@i0 points, Cotton on the spot has been steady, closing at 9 7-16c. fornniddling uplands. The rates on and off middling, as established Nov. 20,1901, by the Revision Committee, at whioh grades other than middling may be delivered on oontraot, are as follows.

The m arket has passed through another q uiet, u n ev en tfu l w eek so far as the hom e trade is concerned, but at th e close there is practical evidence of more in terest being taken in the h eavy brown goods situation by buyers on China ac cou n t, th e first business of any im portance since th e m iddle of A pril being recorded. Should th is w eek’s b usiness be follow ed by further transactions of any m om ent, it should have an appreciable effect upon the heavy cotton goods d iv i sion, export grades Btill being generally sold ahead. In both staple lin es and seasonable fancies the hom e trade adhere stead ily to a hand-to m outh policy. T hey are evid en tly of opinion th at there is noth ing in sig h t to cause apprehensions of higher prices for som e tim e to com e, w h ile the opinion still prevails q uite generally th at in som e directions there w ill be at least a tem porary revision in their favor. Meanhile sellers pursue an even course w ith very few exceptions. There are stocks on hand in occasional quarters, and in e f forts to clean these up price concessions w ere som etim es m ade. Such concessions have, how ever, no influence upon th e general tone, w hich continues steady. W oolen G oods.—The re-order dem and for m en’sw ear w oolen and w orsted trouseriDgs and su itin gs has again been on a quiet scale this w eek, to the disappointm ent of sellers, the m ajority of whom looked for an extension of supplem en tary buying by this tim e. To som e exten t the return busi ness is hampered by the fact that m any sellers are b eh ind hand w ith deliveries of sam ple pieces, thus retarding th e operations of clothiers in connection w ith the fall trade in garm ents. C lothiers report, as a rule, fairly satisfactory re su lts where they have been in a position to test their ou tlets for fall, but even in snch instances there is no disposi tion to anticipate requirem ents to any extent. The g en eral tone of the m arket w h ile dull is steady.
