There has been no important disturbing influence at work this week except so far as gold exports and the action of the Government under the amended law permitting the withdrawal of gold for export, may be considered to have been disturbing. We hare written on this subject in a subsequent column. The law as it now stands is no doubt correct in form, but the manner of executing it has been probably a little extreme and abrupt, giving an appearance of nervousness in Trea- sury circles over the loss of gold, which nervousness has been reflected by a partial loss of confidence in our markets. This feeling will pass off speedily, for there is no reason whatever why we should not if we choose put just as many obstacles in the way of the removal of gold as Europe puts in the way of its return. As to diminishing the amount of the export, this action will diminish it not one dollar. It is the spirit of the law, and the object lesson which operations under it present for the study of our own people, that we like. Other than the foregoing and some failures (promiment among the latter being the Keystone Bank of Philadelphia, which closed its doors yesterday), there ha,ve been no unfavorable developments this week. Even the rumors from London and Paris over the South American difiSculties, have taken on a decidedly quiet aspect. As to our money market, notwithstanding the exports of gold, the continued drain of currency to the interior and the diminishing bank reserves, there has been an abundance of funds offering to meet all requirements. Last Saturday (March 7) our Clearing House institutions showed a surplus reserve of only 49,793,575, against a surplus February 7 of $20,242,675, and a surplus of $23,943,125 on January 31. But we all know that the most of what the banks have lost the Treasury has gained and is now paying out further; more anticipated that after the of April the [Vol. Lll. cable reports that the affairs of Murietta & Co. which have so long menaced the financial situation abroad, have been arranged, and the house has been converted into a joint stock company. It is also stated that the Bank of France indirectly came to the relief of the house, the Bank being committed to assist in the liquidation of the affairs of the Societe des Depots et Comptes Courant, with which Murietta & Co. were in some way connected. On Thursday a fall in Argentines occurred in London on news that the coupons falling due upon the Provincial 6s could not be met. This default must interfere somewhat with the liquidation of the concerns loaded with these securities. The cable reports discounts of sixty to ninety day, bank bills in London 2| per cent. In Paris the open market rate is 2| per cent at Berlin it is 2f per cent and at Frankfort it is 2|- per cent. The Bank of England gained £154,000 bullion this week this, as appears by a private cable to us, was the result of imports of £417,000, chiefly from South America and Australia, of receipts from the interior of Great Britain of £68,000 and of exports of £331,000 to the Argentine Republic and Brazil. Our foreign exchange market has been affected this week by the change in the policy of the Treasury De; ; partment respecting the withdrawals export. of- gold bars for Shippers, until Tuesday afternoon, assumed that the rule of the department, imposing a charge of 40 cents per 1,000 dollars on gold bars, would not be changed, and on that day Messrs. Heidelbach, Ickel- & Co. and Lazard Freres notified the Superintendent of the Assay Office that they would require 8500,000 each of gold bars for export by Wednesday's heimer steamer. Late in the afternoon of that day the order came from the Acting Secretary of the Treasury refusing bars ; subsequently coin was obtained at the SubTreasury, the shippers receiving four-sevenths in double and one-seventh in half of exchange were It seems to us possible that the latter expectation may adjusted to the new order of things, and there not prove correct, for a wider call than usual for money was a further advance on Thursday. Yesterday among the interior correspondents of our banks is the engagements for shipment were $1,625,000, it is interior movement will first once more set towards this city. eagles, two-sevenths eagles. in eagles On Wednesday rates apparent just now, while transactions throughout the all in coin, but as the steamer does not sail country remain on a large scale.

Kidder, Peabody & Co., posted long on 4 86^ for Monday, and on Thursday they advanced the rate to 4 87 and at the same time moved the short rate up to 4 89|. The Bank of British North America and the Bank of Montreal posted 4 86|^ for long on Monday, and on Wednesday moved up to 4 87 for 60 day and 4 8^ for sight, which rates have been maintained since. The market yesterday closed firm 'at 4 87 for long and 4 89^ for short. Rates for actual business were 4 86i@4 86^ for 60 day ; 4 88|@4 89 for sight ; 4 89i@4 89^ for cable transfers ; 4 85@4 85J for prime commercial and 4 84^@4 84| for documentary bills.

The absorption of the Rome Watertown & Ogdensburg by the New York Central must be regarded as a wise solution of the problem confronting the managerate bankers' balances has loaned this week at 4 and 2 per cent, averaging 3 per cent, at which renewals have been made; banks and trust companies report 4 per cent as the minimum now. There has been a somewhat limited demand for time money because of the dull trading at the Stock Exchange, and the offe'rings of money though continuing good have not been in excess of the demand, coming chiefly from institutions other than banks in and out of the city and from foreign bankers; rates remain unchanged at 4^ per cent for sixty days and 5 per cent for from three to six months on good Stock Exchange collateral. For commercial paper there has been an increasing demand from city banks and insti- tutions and from out-of-town buyers, and the supply ifl good; rates are 5 per cent for sixty to ninety day endorsed bills receivable, 5^06 per cent for four months commission-house names, and 6@7 per cent for good aingle names having from four to six months to run. ; A March THE CHRONICLE. 21, 1891.) meats of the two roads, Wliile evidoutly there bad been no actuul break in the relations between the roads, The yet not a little friction had developed of hite. some encroachments upon the Watertown had made make territory of the Central, and was preparing to Central, on its part, in order to get an more.

That is to say, if the shipper had been required to send the abraded coin, it would have been accepted on the other side by weight, and he would lose the difference between the full weight and the amount of the abrasion. Hence, by permitting the exchange at the par of the coin into bars, this difference, whenever any existed, acted as a kind of premium on the export even if there was no abrasion, the law may be said to have facilitated the outward ; movement, inasmuch as fine bars are worth a trifle more than coin in the markets of the world.

This week, under another order, the Assay Office has refused to furnish any bars for export, the Sub-Treasury paying out only a mixture of coin, the amount of each denomination being wholesome change. But while holding this opinion, we think that the Government in taking such extreme action as it has, runs the risk of disturbing confidence, while giving the law a different direction from that contemplated proportioned to the amount the Sub-Treasury holds of by of «ach kind of coin. many of those who took part in the passage accomplishing what Such a decided modification in the practice of the it was expected to accomplish.

We would remark, however, in passing, the extent of the advance it causes in foreign exchange that if this action only served to put the United States the charges on all imported articles ; and, finally, it will on a par with Europe in the matter of making increase the profits on exports except it may be in the case of our chief commodities, cotton, wheat, etc., the interchanges of gold, we would approve of it the amendment, without fully.

That market has gone up, the obstacles in the way of the movement of gold are made more expensive it will continue to surand as Oreat Britain has begun to devise plans for economizmount them by the same method. Thus, the first ing its use and for providing substitutes, we think the order of the Government, charging 40 cents per 1,000 monometallist claim does not need refuting.

This year especially is this injunction pertinent, gent and rational manner, which of course adds greatly for economy and frugality are more urgently needed to their usefulness. This is a feature observable too in than ever before to offset recent reckless legislation. Prof. Adams's statistical report on United States rail- ing exchange price of the goods remaining — ; Let us not forget that we have in our free-handed way undertaken to pay Europe an additional round sum of money this year, and the payment must be in gold unless we provide some other means of settlement. No relief from the consequences of our action can be gained by attempts to fetter commerce. We did what we did after deliberate consideration, and now we will have to settle the bill. Of course all know that we refer to the law requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase each month 4^ million ounces of ways, prepared for the Inter-State Commerce Commis- sion.

Of to supply the Government's monthly demand. In course it is easy to see that as the receipts of one port 1889 we exported, according to the figures of the may represent the shipments of another port, to take silver. As we produced in 1890, according to the figures, Bureau of Statistics, 21^ million dollars of silver and 39 million dollars of gold more than we imported. These figures show that if we do not economize on our imports of merchandise or let Europe have more of our products than we did in 1889, we shall certainly have to send a very large amount of the the total of both receipts and shipments would be to This duplication duplicate much of the tonnage. than we did might be supposed, as we Prof. Adams by his method avoids. To the plan of each port the highest figures, whether receipts or shipments, there would seem to be some objections, but the idea was to avoid the error of omisyellow metal abroad. At all events that 21^ million dol- sion, since the returns for all ports at which traflBc lars in silver will most likely have to be represented in originates cannot, we are told, be secured with absolute gold and the 7 million ounces of silver required for accuracy. The matter is, however, after all not so consumption in the arts and manufacture we must very important, as the correspondence between aggreunport and pay for in gold unless we produce more gate receipts and aggregate shipments is closer than ti last year. Adding these new items to the ordinary trade balance against us, what other alternative is there left than that we have suggested. taking for shall show below; and in referred to, the rule liability to omissions in question should not perhaps be regarded as vitiating view of the THE CHRONICLE. 442 the final results.

Lumber is another large item, cargo tonnage per cent of all freight. In this way Prof. Adams finds that the tics on the Great Lakes for the season of 1889 (not includ- ing Canadian coastwise trade) amounted to almost 27^ In million tons— in exact figures, 37,460,360 tons. other words, this large aggregate of freight of one kind or another was transported on the lakes in the season The ton taken is the net ton of 2,000 before last. lbs., so that expressed in pounds the total of the freight thus transported would be roughly 55 thousand millions. And this is independent of a large amount of merchandise which could not be reduced to a tonnage basis, such merchandise traffic comprising no less than 5,656,206 packages. It may be supposed that the total tonnage has been greatly enlarged through the rule of counting either receipts or shipments, whichever was amounting to 6,857,257 tons, or 24*97 per cent, some of this coming from Canada. Iron ore, coal and lumber together furnished no less than 20,640,163 tons out of the total of 27,460,260 If to this tons, or 75-17 per cent of the whole. we add the 4,506,554 tons of agricultural products (1,929,614 tons being corn and 969,150 tons wheat), we get 25,146,717 tons, or 91-58 of the whole. Stone amounted to only 311,015 tons ; salt, 296,513 tons ; other products of mines and quarries, 58,117. tons animal products, 64,728 tons ; and manufactures, miscellaneous merchandise and other commodities to This analysis.is interesting as showing 1,583,170 tons. that the products of agriculture, together with ot€, coal and lumber, really furnish the bulk of the entire if the receipts by themselves were taken, the total would be almost 26 million tons (25,936,132 lake tonnage. We have stated that these statistics cover the returns tons), while if the shipments were taken, even then of 107 ports. But there are only 16 ports whose comthe total would be about 25i million tons (25,266,974). the larger, but would be interesting to see how the tonnage by lake, as here given, compared with the freight tonnage of the United States railroads ; no direct comparison, bowevcr, of that kind is possible. Prof. Adams, in his It last statistical report, gave the number of tons of j bined receipts and shipments reach 900,000 tons each, i Chicago heads the list, having received 5,069,973 tons and shipped 2,914,065 tons. The shipments of course are almost entirely agricultural products (wheat, corn, &c.), which amounted to 2,819,041 tons. The ' I) |] receipts il June comprise 2,588,004 tons lumber, 1,329,364 tons of 539 million tons, this being presumably coal and 731,188 tons of iron ore.

A second application haa also failed. In consequence business has been suspended for twodaya, and it is feared that the Government will have to isaue mora inconvertible paper. The fear is so strong that the premium on gold has gone up to about 374 per cent. The tiapor dolhir there« fore is worth very little more than one-fourth of its nominal value. But it seems hardly credible that the Government will issue more paiier, for the agreement which it signed on Thursday with the London committee binds it not only not to isaue more paper but to cancel 11.5,000,000 of outstanding notes in each one of the next three years. Yet if the revenue is insufficient to cover the ordinary expenditure, and if the Government cannot borrow either at home or abroad, it is not easy to see what alternative it has. The news from Chili is also very bad. The civil war appears to be growing more bitter and to re|)ealed. The rumors that have been circulating re8|)ecting the diSlsome of the largest houses connected with the Argentine Eepublic are to a large extent unfounded but there is no question that the difflculties of the houses are very serious. One of the most important of them one which brought out national, provincial, municipal and railroad issues to a large amount during the past few years — is very seriously em- be likely to last for a considerable time.

Some of the European new companies governments, too, are preparing to continue conversions of Next week it is expected that one of the Turkish loans, secured upon the Egyptian Tribute, will be converted. It is understood that Messrs. Rothschild have undertaken the conversion both in London and in Paris. The conversion of the Russian debt will also be continued, and negotiations are going on for giving assistance to Italy, Spain and Portugal. The conversion of the Cuban debt is soon to be taken in hand. The wheat market continues quiet. The Board of Trade returns published to-day are better than was anticipated. It was expected that following the severe weather of January some small improvement in imports might be shown. The increase of as much as £2,292,."512 is therefore regarded as satisfactory. The greater portion of raw the gain is arrivals of in the cotton, which have been worth £1,491,000 more than the receipts in February, 1890, America having sent us 1,661,000 bales in February, 1891, in contrast with 1,209,000 bales in their debts. days there Bourse securities, and a considerable decline, owing mainly to the fear that the excitement in Paris caused by the visit of the Empress Frederick might endanger the relations between the same month of last year, and Egypt 283,000 bales against France and Germany but the fear has greatly abated.

Railroad applied to the Stock Exchange to have listed 89,750 shares of Baltimore & Ohio trust stock deposited with the Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. under an agreenaent to consolidate the voting power and place the same in the hands of Mr. Charles F. Mayer and his nomineeg for a term of three years from June 33, 1890. The stock was listed, and will be regularly called. The Garrett family deposited in the pool 60,300 shares, from which it will be seen : & that the Garretts have increased their holdings in Baltimore Ohio 10,000 to 18,000 shares, which amount, no doubt, they acquired from the 44,890 shares which the Bacon syndicate purchased last summer from Baltimore City and the Hopkins University."

R. of Georgia has been made to the Georgia Pacific which in turn is leased to the Richmond 6 Danville. The stock of the latter being owned by the Richmond & West Point Terminal, the chain of control has now been perfected. The charter of the Central of Georgia provided that the directors of the company should all be residents of the State of Georgia, and although the Terminal owned control it was deemed advisable to bring; the property directly under its management by means of this lease, the Georgia Pacific being selected as the lessee company and guaranteeing 7 per cent per annum on the capital stock of $7,500,000. ClcTcland Akron & Columbus.— This company has just had listed on the New York Stock Exchange $600,000 of its equipment .trust and second mortgage 6 per cent gold bonds. In the application for the listing Vice-President Horsey presents a very .full statement of the company's affairs and on a subsequent page of this issue of the Chronicle it may be found at length. On January 1 the first mortgage 6 per cent bonds were replaced by a bond bearing 5 per cent. The new equipment bonds are authorized to a total of §890,000 ($5,000 a mile) and are issued to pay for new equipment, on wbich they are a first mortgage the mortgage provide that the trustees in case of default of interest m.ay take possession of traffic. Tiie bonds are further The total charges to capital account for the year were the said equipment on five days' notice. secured by being made a second mortage on the road and all ("For the year ending A The report of the President, Mr. Geo. B. Roberts, states that tbe aggregate movement of bituminous coal was 2,233,785 tons— an increase of 510,386 tons, and of anthracite coal 3,998,543 tons— an increase of 74,227 tons. The tonnage of both classes amounted to 5,231,i<38 tons, as against 4,646,815 for the preceding year, being an increase of 584,513 tons. The main items of tonnage, besides coal and grain, were lumber, iron ore, manufactures of iron and petroleum. The amount of grain received at the elevators at Canton, as compared with the previous year, was in 1890 11,366,236 bushels, iii 1889, 8,757,334 bushels— an increase of 3,508,902 bushels. The tonnage mileage shows an increase of 17*393 per cent, and the gross receipts from freight traffic an increase of 10'698 per cent. The passenger business for the year shows an increase in mileage of 6'06 per cent, and the revenue received therefrom increased $71,399, or 6'48 per cent. While the increase in the gross earnings was quite large, there was a still larger increase in the expenses, resulting in a decrease of net earnings of $257,318 as compared with 1889. This increase extended through all the departments, the excess in motive power and transportation expenses being largely due to the additional volume of both freight and passenger $311,389, made up as follows: Equipment, $38,411; real estate, $6,879, and construction, $170,999. " While the net earnings of the property for the first six months, as in the previous year, did not, in the judgment of the Board, justify a greater dividend than three per cent, the results of the last six months allowed the declaration of a dividend of four per cent, making seven per cent for the year. To provide a portion of the necessary capital for construction purposes, including the erection of the two grain elevator* now building at Baltimore, the privilege was given to stockholders of record April 7, 1890, to subscribe at par for live per cent of their respective holdings. The amount realized in payment for 7,363 additional shares thus issued was $368,150.

There will still remain over $150,000 cash in the treasury afier paying for these bonds." : Lehigh Valley.— In the Coxe case, the Inter-State Commerce Commissioners decided, March 13, against the railroad company. The questions presented for the determination were the alleged undue preferences, unjust discrimination and unreasonutjle rates. Complainants alleged that the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company carries anthracite and bituminous coals over the same distance in the same direction under different classitications, but that the two coals are a like kind of freiglit, and should be classed as one kind of freight. Also, that the average rates per ton per mile charged by the Lehigh Railroad Company ou anthracite coal are higher than on general freight, and that the rate of $1 80 per ton of 2,240 jwunds to Perth Amboy from the Lehigh coal region, a distance of about 135 miles, id excessive and unreasonable, " and should be reduced to what the Commission may decide to be a reasonable rate." In concluding a long argument on the subject of a reduction of rates on all sizes of coal to tidewater, the decision says: "The practicable and necessary adjustment of the rates on such east-bound short distance traffic which we have determined upon as reasonable per ton of 2,240 pounds, from the collieries of complainants to Perth Amboy, is, on the prepared and larger sizes, $1 50 on pea $1 25 on buckwheat and culm $1 05." The rates were $1 70, $1 40 and |1 20 per ton, to go into effect April 20, 1891. ; provement bonds are proposed. Cbattasoooa, Tknn.— $100,000 improvement bonds arc proposed.

If they do not do that the deal will not go through. Of course, we can foreci'ise the mortgage on the road if not x>aid when due, and on the other hand the company can pay up the bonds wlien they want to. The control which we are to have is simply delegated to us by tlie stockholders, as we could not vote ourselves into the Board as bondholders.

Mobile Norfolk New York 2,500 The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market has been feverishly active and buoyant at times, and at others dull and unsettled. Liverpool on Saturday and Wednesday reported sharp advances in futures, and larger dealings in the spot markets there but on our Cotton Exchange it was con; stantly asserted that the better Liverpool market was owing to speculative manipulation in the interest of the "bulls;" hence our response to the rise abroad was comparatively feeble, and not well maintained. Weather reports from the South were betThe crop movement continued relatively large, exceeding ter. outside estimates in some cases. On Thursday the market was depressed, in sympathy with the large crop movement, lower prices at Liverpool and large receipts at Bombay, whiclT united in causing free sales to realize. To-day there was some weak Liverpool advices and a when the prices further depressions under movement; but, as heretofore, full for August delivery approached 9c. the pressure to sell materially abated. Cotton on the spot advanced l-16c. on Saturday last to-day there was a decline of 1-16, middling uplands closing As will be seen by our statement on another page, the amount of cotton which has come into sight up to to-night reaches 7,659,461 bales, a total 345,785 bales greater than the whole crop of 1889-90 and 734,379 bales more than the yield of 1888-89. The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 418,600 For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week bales. for export, 1,099 for consumption, 1,099 bales, including bales in transit. Of the above for speculation, and were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for each day of the past week March 14 to March 30. — — — — UPLANDS. Sat. * lb.

Mr. Anderson was highly esteemed by all those with whom he came in contact and possessed the entire confidence of the dry goods trade. The funeral was from his late; residence, 297 501 5 06 West Fifty-third Street, on Thursday. Nbw Yobk, Friday P. M., March 20, 1891.

Colored cottons moved more readily on account of back orders than through the medium of new business, and fair-sized shipments were also made of white goods, quilts, curtain drapery and fancy table daoiasks. Fancy prints were firm for all popular makes, but in certain off styli's there ha^ b?en some cutting of prices, a course adopted by agents at this time of the season to relieve stocks of undesirable goods. Ginghams and woven wash fabrics were about the best business done in both commission and jobbing circles.

The prolonged cold weather has led to some increase in the re-orders for heavy woolens for men's wear, but union, cotton-warp and low and medium all-wool cassimeres were relatively most active. Piece- dyed and worsted suitinxs and fine cassimeres and cheviots were comparatively neglected, and overcoatings, whether kerseys, meltons or rough-faced descriptions, were in little better condition. Agents are not disturbed by the clothiers prevailing quietude, as all leading makes are well sold up, and current deliveries on account of back orders are quite sufficient to keep stocks in comfortable shape. Low-grade woolens, such as satinets, Kentucky jeans and doeskins, were in but hand-to-mouth request, but flannels and blankets had a seasonable distribution. Soft wool and worsted dress goods were in fair demand in commission circles, and were among the most active goods in the jobbing trade. Foreign Dry Goods.— There has been a fair demani for imported fabrics at first hands, but buyers did not operate with the freedom that importers expected, and to that extent results are disappointing. Stocks of staple lines are above the average in bulk, but fancies are lightly held. In all lines, however, prices are firm. Jobbers report fully an average distribution of imported goods. ^Inawcial. and BONDfc Provident Life & Trust OF PHILADELPHIA. STOCKS Incorporated Third Mo., At Auction.
