been, were it not for the rapid rise in prices at the Stock
Exchange, which first shut off the foreign investment
demand for securities, and then led to considerable sales

But aside from these sales, nothing was
needed but a check in the flow of capital this way to give an

tinuing at 10 per cent and the stock having a market value
of from £40 to £45 a share.
In the autumn of 1878 came
the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank. It was, no doubt,
the revelation of the risks involved in trying to conceal the
real situation of that bank which led the directors of the Ori¬
ental to write off their losses. The Bank had taken a Chilian
loan, and the bonds, which depreciated on its hands, were
gold at a loss of more than £90,000. The coffee-disease in
Ceylon had rendered it impossible for the planters indebted
to it to re-pay their loans, and the Bank had been forced to
take the plantations and go into coffee culture on a large
scale. Much the same thing had happened in Mauritius,
where the decline in sugar had been the cause of the mis¬
chief. The business of the Bank was contracted as much as
possible. The Ceylon plantations were disposed of to a new

Operations on a more contracted scale seemed
to promise well.
The directors managed to figure out a
profit of about four per cent until the close of 1883, but
sometimes the balance carried over would be drawn upon to
the amount of a few hundred pounds to yield even this divi¬
dend. Meantime the charter, which was for thirty years,
expired in 1881. It was twice renewed for a year at a
time, while the “model charter’’ was in preparation, and
last year the directors advised the shareholders to accept
that charter.
During this interval, that is in 1882, the
Bank lost by death the director who had been most indus¬
trious and useful in carrying on the business in the deceit¬
ful hope that a revival in the sugar market, or something
favorable to offset the calamity to Ceylon coffee occasioned
by the great extension of Brazilian pdanting, would occur.
It was not until last autumn that the management fully
realized the situation.
Up. to that, time the Bank was still
deluding itself and the public. The new step proposed was
to write gif a large part of the loss already incurred, and to
raise more capital if possible.
The details of the plan it is
needless to enter into, for it failed everywhere.
Capital
could not be had, and depositors began demanding their
money.
The shares fell still more. At the close of 1 883
they were worth about £13; they dropped gradually to
£10; just before the spring report appeared they fell away
to £5; after the appearance of that report shareholders
were offering to give them away, with a bonus of £10 added
to whoever would accept them, and with them the liability
to be assessed up to the limit of £25 a share.

facts should be clearly understood, because otherwise it
will seem incomprehensible that a company which last
year earned nearly 47 millions gross and over 15 millions
net could fail to meet the $750,000 necessary to pay the
June interest.
But while this

large floating debt played a very import¬
part in forcing the suspension at this time, it is still tru e
that it was the gloomy state of the coal trade that brought
about the crisis in the company’s affairs, impairing its bor¬
rowing capacity, besides reducing its earnings during the
first four months of the current fiscal year in the large
sum of $2,141,799.
To appreciate the change in that trade,
we have only to remember that besides a suspension of
work for 48 days during December, January, February and
March (twice as long as the restriction in production dur¬
ing the same months last year), a further stoppage of six
days during April became necessary; and yet, even then it

this opinion in his letter to us, which certainly was not an
unreasonable view to take,
llowdver, even these 63 days
have proved insufficient, and the companies felt obliged to
order a suspension of 12 days additional during June,
making 75 days altogether thus far. The question natur¬

these increasing restrictions V

capacity of the mines has evidently, very largely increased—
is,, new collieries have been opened^—so that the
amount of production is greater.
This is seen in the fact
that, though during the calendar year 1883 the idle days
numbered 60 (including 9 in December, which count
in the current fiscal year of the Reading), against only 48
in the year 1882, production actually increased 2,672,931
tons, from 29,120,096 tons to 31,793,027 tons.
Further
during the four months of the calendar year to the end
of April, there was a stoppage of 45 days, against only 30
days in the same months of 1883, and yet the total pro¬
duction fell off less than 400,000 tons.
As bearing upon
future restrictions, this is a very important fact to keep in

by the coal combination. Then there is reason to believe
that many of the coal companies crowded production to the
utmost during the closing months of 1883, and this of
course would operate to cause a larger contraction in
the
early months of 1884 than would otherwise have taken
place.
Finally, as regards the Reading itself, the restriction of
production by the combination would seem to be operating
very unevenly and unfairly as between the different mem¬
bers, the Reading being made to bear almost the whole of
the burden.
This may be the result of accident, or
of some circumstance peculiar to the Reading; but, as
it stands, it seems surprising and unaccountable.
In
the following table we give the figures of production
by each company, for the four months of the calendar
year to the end of April, as prepared by Mr. John H.
Jones, the accountant of the companies, from which it will
appear that the Reading has had to sustain a falling o2

Thus

during these four months Reading (including Cen¬
Jersey) has suffered a loss of 400,530 tons, while
the loss by all companies is only 399,028 tons.
The Lehigh
Valley, which comes next to the Reading in size as a pro-ducer, has a loss of 118,474 tons, but the ratio of decrease
js less than 0-J- per cent, while on the Reading it is nearly
11J per cent. The decrease on the Delaware & Hudson is
only 5J per cent, that on the Pennsylvania Coal Company
less than 8f per cent, while the Delaware Lackawanna k
Western actually has an mcroase of 3 per cent. The
heaviest increase, however, is on the Pennsylvania Rail¬
road—163,212 tons, or 22 per cent—but that company does
not belong to the combination, and, therefore, is not gov¬
erned by its action.
To the figures of loss above for the
four months, we must add that for December—237,854
tons—by the Reading, to get the months corresponding to
the company’s fiscal year, and that gives us a total loss of
638,384 tons.
It is this heavy loss in coal—counting first at the mines,
and then in a diminished tonnage over the railroad lines—
that explains the falling off in the Reading’s earnings. We
showed last week by the April exhibit, and previously by
each of the earlier exhibits, that the volume of general
business and
of passengers was steadily increasing.
The company’s trouble lies, therefore, in being so largely
dependent upon one item of traffic, and so long as this con¬
tinues to be the case, its fortunes will fluctuate with the
rise and decline of the coal trade, which is subject to sharp
changes, as the statistics prove.
It is perhaps reasonable to presume that, with the comple¬
tion of Mr. Vanderbilt’s South Pennsylvania line, the com.
pany’s position will be strengthened in that respect. This

reports which have been received regarding the grow¬
ing crops are, with scarcely an exception, of a very encourag¬
ing character. Some assert that rain is required, and no doubt
a moderate fall on light soils would have beneficial results.
It
is also said that, owing to the recent easterly winds and to the
frosts, the crop of stone fruits has been much damaged; but
this is a small matter comparatively.
The pasture lands are
luxuriant, and there arc ample, if not abundant, supplies of
cattle food; the appearance of the cereal crops is promising,
and vegetables are increasing in abundance.

On that important question public opinion
is adverse to the Ministers. The dilatory policy of the Aberdeen
Ministry lias always been understood to have brought about
the war with Russia-—a conflict which many contend might,
vfith a firmer and more judicious policy, have been avoided.
There is still a reflection of that great event upon the public

portion of reserve to liabilities is now48*20 per cent, against 4S
At this
per cent last week and only 35’ll per cent last year.
date in 1833 the Bank of England rate of discount was raised
to 4 per cent, owing to the activity of the export demand for
gold, and the Bank of England was in a weak condition. The
supply of gold held was reduced to £20,130,894, while the re¬
serve was only £11,413,659.
The former is now £25,034,14.2—
an increase of nearly £5,000.000; and the reserve of notes apd
coin £15,300,507—an improvement of £3,900,000.
The Bank
lias therefore augmented its resources considerably during the
past twelve months, and there are certainly no present indica¬
tions of any retrograde movement.
This is obviously a fact
which should-engender confidence in the future.
The Bank of England rate of discount remains at 2! 4 per cent,
and although no activity has been apparent, the open market is
firm in tone at lAj to 2 per cent for three 1110111118' bank bills.
fFor short loans there lias been very little demand, at about 1
per cent interest per annum.

THE CHRONICLE.

In reference to the state of the bullion market

past week, Messrs. Pixley & Abell remark

during the

:

Gold—The Bank of England has not received any of the arrivals dur.
lng the past week, the export demand having more than sufficed to ab¬
sorb all imports
The arrivals are £16,39o from the Brazils, £7,400
from Australia. £1,400 from South Africa—total,
The
£28,190.
“Bokhara” takes £20,000 to Bombay.
Silver has been scarce, and the price, which was 50 13-16d. at the
close of last week, has s’ightly improved in consequence, and we
give
this dav 50 15-ldd. as the nearest quotation. The only arrivals are
£41,0C0 from New York. The P. &0. steamship “Bokhara” takes £5/,000 to Bombay and £10/'00 to Calcutta, and the
“Sutlej,” sailing this

day, takes £10,000 to the latter port.

Mexican dollars have maintained their price of
4970d , at which they
closed last week. Supplies have not been large, and the price
quoted is
quite nominal. We have received £19,000 from New York. The P. &
O. steamship takes £155,030 to China and the Straits.

THE CHRONICLE.

Exchange.—The market for sterling was still
considerably
during the past week, owing to the movement
foreign capital in connection with the purchase and sale of
of
stocks on foreign account.
But on the whole the market
has
been stronger, owing to the continued
scarcity of commercial
bills.

But there have been a number of
disturbing features connected
with railroad properties. Thus the
Philadelphia & Reading has
1
again passed into the hands of receivers, though the coupons
due J une 1 on the general consols of 1011 were
paid by the Drexcls in Philadelphia.
So the Texas <fc Pacific did not meet its
interest payment on the Eastern Division
consols, but had the
Mercantile Trust Company buy them instead. Then there
have also been renewed
disquieting reports about the losses
incurred by the Louisville & Nashville

*

company’s finances are in
been supposed,and that
the funding scheme is not meeting with the success
anticipated
for it.
On the other hand, the settlement
by compromise, on
Thursday, of the long-pending and acrimonious litigation
between the Elevated railroad
companies in this city is calcu¬
lated to have a good effect on the market
generally.
There iias been no change in the
general condition of trade
and industry throughout the
country in the last week. The
iron and anthracite coal interests remain
depressed, but this
is partly due to the
competition of bituminous coal and to the
increase in the producing
capacity of the anthracite mines.
The grain movement via the Western trunk-line roads is
still
large, and, with the prospect for good average crops of all the
small grains in all parts of the
West, there is abundant ground
for taking a hopeful view
of the outlook there.
The New York money market continues
very quiet. The
field for employment of
money on collaterals of railway
stocks has been so diminished
by the shrinkage in value of
the stocks and the much more conservative
policy of the banks
that rates for call loans have been
quoted at from l1,.; to 4 per
cent during the week.
These rates, however, have been
largely nominal, and the attempt to borrow to any extent
would probably show that the banks are
doing comparatively
little, and what they do is nearer 0 percent than lower
figures.
In time loans there lias been
very little done, though rates may
be quoted at from o to 0
per cent.
The rates for mercantile
discounts remain unchanged at 5and 6
per cent for two and
four months on endorsed
paper and at 0 and GJ< on single

State and Railroad Ronds.—There was an
increasing
volume of business in railroad bonds
during the hist week and
also a declining range of prices for the
majority of the specu¬
lative issues. The better class of investment bonds have been
dull and

quite steady. The Texas & Pacific issues were all
adversely affected by the fact that*the coupons of the Eastern
Division consols were not paid at
maturity in the regular man¬
ner,

but

bought in the interest of

Grande Division firsts

the Mo. Pacific. The Rio

affected

by this and declined 9
points and the land grants 4. The Louisville
Nashville
general mortgages were depressed 1 >y the rumors of the cornpony'being embarrassed for ready money. The Kansas &
Texas issues were affected by the same causes that
depressed
the Texas & Pacifies, and the East Tennessee 5s
by the finan¬
cial difficulties of Mr. Seney.
The West Shore os were lower
from the fact that no progress has been made toward a finan¬
cial scheme for tiie relief of the
company.
Many of the other
speculative bonds were depressed by the difficulty*of using
were

them as collaterals for loans.
The settlement of the elevated
railroad difficulties
helped the Metropolitan Elevated firsts.
The Oregon Short Line Os also re-acted from their extreme

depression of last week. The most important changes
Friday the 80th nit. have been as follows, viz.:
Declined—East Tennessee 5s, 5 to 51: do. Incomes,
1 to 14: Erie

•State issues

were

quiet and firm during the week.

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
was depressed in the
early part of the week by the appoint¬
ment of receivers for the
Reading and the general unfavor¬
able aspects of the coal trade ; also
by rumors about the con¬
dition of Louisville & Nashville.
Besides, a great many
stocks bought from fen days to two weeks
ago at low prices

for

foreign account were sold to realize profits. Under these
influences prices declined up to
Wednesday. But after some
weakness on Thursday, there was a

recovery on Friday, which
generally higher for the week. Mr. Gould’s
specialties—Missouri Pacific and "Western Union—show ad¬
vances of 8 and
2*4 per cent respectively, while the granger
stocks
generally show advances of from 1 to 2 per
emit. Union Pacific has boon
notably strong, and is 4:U higher
than a week ago.
Louisville and Nashville has been conspicu-,
ously weak, and the Vanderbilt trunklines—particularly Lake
left the market

Short—have also been weak and lower. The Elevated
proper¬
ties have advanced sharply
on the news of the settlement uf
all difficulties between the
companies.

of Ttailroads and other

other divisions, from business which the El Dorado Division
contributed, we have a net profit resulting from the business
of that division, amounting to $7,99(5.
“The decrease in both gross and net revenue is due to the

falling oil of earnings from loedl freight only, and this was
caused by the failure of the wheat crop on the entire line of
your road, from the drought of 1883.
This is shown by the
fact that earnings from local freight were $79,185 less in 1883
than in 1882—-a decrease of 29-2 per cent—while the through
freight earnings were $35,100, or 33 1-3 per cent more than
they were in 1882. The increase in through freight earnings
was mostly contributed
by the Texas & St. Louis Railroad,
which was completed in August, and opened for business Sep¬
tember 1. 1883.’'

Under the terms of the

re-organization, a fund, amounting
provided for the purchase of much-needed
additional equipment. As scon as practicable, contracts were
made for rolling stock, as follows : 400 box cars, 100 gondola
cars, 12 first class passenger cars, 3 baggage and express cars,
3 locomotives.
Provision was also made for building, at the
company’s shops at Zaleski, 100 stock cars of large capacity.’’
“While this result is not gratifying, yet, when all the cir¬
cumstances are considered, it may not be found altogether dis¬
couraging. The crops of the year, both on the line of the road
and on the line of its principal Western connections, were
unusually light. Mineral interests, particularly the manufact¬
ure of pig iron, constitute a large element in the local business
of the road.
These interests have everywhere suffered a very
discouraging depression, the effect of which has been felt not
only in respect Co the industries directly concerned, but in all
the collateral branches of traffic.
In the month of February,
1883, the road suffered greatly, in diminution of revenue and
in increase of expenses, by reason of the then unprecedented
flood which caused an almost entire suspension of f reight busi¬
ness for many days,-and entailed a. largely increased expense in
protecting and repairing embankments, which were partially,
and in places'Wholly, submerged.
Besides, the beneficial
effects of the new equipment were not felt till the later months
of the year.
An examination of the earnings and expenses by
months will show that the net earnings for the half-year end¬
ing December 31 were $342,019. while for the half-year ending
June 30 they were only $158,023.
With fair crops and a revival of the iron industries, supple¬
mented bv the additional equipment now on the road and yet
to be increased, there is ground for hope that the net earnings
may soon equal the fixed charges, with fair possibilities for a
*
surplus in the not distant future.”

wissa Railroad Company's §60,000 construction 7s.
The total
fixed charges due by the Reading on these securities June 2
amounted to §1,232,541.
It is said that it was the company’s inability to meet its July

obligations which determined it to suspend. The company lias
several millions of fixed charges to meet on the 1st of July,
and §3,313,580 maturing scrip extended from July, 1883,
while the June earnings will be light (coal mining being or¬
dered suspended for two weeks this month). The Philadelphia
North American remarks: “The former suspension occurred
on May 21, 18S0; Messrs. Edwin M. Lewis, Franklin B. Gowen
and Stephen A. Caldwell were appointed receivers on May 25,
1880. Mr. Gowen raised $7,650,308 on the deferred income
bonds, and the receivers’ certificates were refunded into car
trusts, so that the receivers returned the property to the stock¬
holders on February 28, 1883; they were not finally discharged,
however, till the lOtli of last month. The ipase of the Contral
Railroad of New Jersey took effect one year ago yesterday.
Since that time the anthracite coal trade has suffered from

over-production, and the partial suspension of mining has been
a necessity.
Since the beginning of the Reading's present
fiscal year anthracite mining has been suspended 61 days in
all.
The Reading has needed a larger production than is pos¬
sible

The decrease in gross earnings and the reduction in expenses
were in part caused by the giving up of unprofitable through

Texas & Pacific.—Notice was published that the coupons
due June 1, 1884, of the consolidated mortgage bonds of the
Texas & Pacific Railway Company, Eastern Division, would be

paid on and after that date at the Mercantile Trust Company,
120 Broadway.
But the holders on presenting the coupons for
payment at the Mercantile Trust Company received a state¬
ment that the Mercantile Trust Company was authorized to
buy the coupons of these bonds; the Mercantile Trust Company
buying the coupons for the Missouri Pacific Company. It is
stated that the Texas Pacific Company did not have the money
to meet its June

interest, and that the Missouri Pacific ad¬

vanced the money

for this purpose, taking the coupons as secur¬
The interest due June l amounted to about §275,000.
To reporters Mr. Jay Gould, the President of the Texas &
Pacific, said it was not a default, and it did not mean, as re¬
ported, that there was an intention to apply for a receiver for
the road. The Texas & Pacific was operated under contract
by the Missouri Pacific. The accounts of the two roads wore
necessarily kept together to a great extent. It was often the

The present arrange¬

whereby the Missouri Pacific bought the Texas Pacific

coupons was nothing new.
It had been done two or three
times before. Nothing would have been thought of the matter
if the Reading's coupons had not been bought by Drexel & Co.
The Texas A Pacific would earn enough during the year to pay
the coupons.
A. L. Hopkins, a director, said that the Texas & Pacific just
earned its way last year.
Business had be°n light this spring,
but the outlook for the remainder of the year was favorable.
.

Union Pacific.—The Boston Transcript says : “The [indit¬
ing department of the Union Pacific at Omaha telegraphs that
the April expenses were §98,000 less than in 1883, and cannot
vary §3,000 from this upon the actual figures.
As tlie esti¬
mated loss in gross earnings was §217,000, this would indicate
a loss in the April net earnings of only §150,000, which is a
considerable improvement over the statements of the first
three months.”

market was closed until Wednesday, and the feeling in finan¬

The changes were slight and insignificant, but inclining
towards a lower range of values until near the close of
Wednesday's business, when the renewal of excessive rains in
the Southwest caused

Receipts from the Plantations.—The

following table is
prepared for the pnrpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,

therefore,

a

safer conclusion tlirough

a

comparative statement

like the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the

weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the
which finally reaches the market through the outports.
