The

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
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;

[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.

market rate is 2| per cent
at Berlin it is 2f per

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.

that the rule of the department, imposing a charge of
40 cents per 1,000 dollars on gold bars, would not be

& 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

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

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

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,

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

convenience of our readers all the roals making returns are
brought together here in the week in which we publish our
monthly article on net earnings say on or about the 20th of
the month. A paragraph mark (IT) added after the name
of a road indicates that the figures for that road have not pre-

Baltimore & Ohio. The last circular of Messrs. John A.
Hambleton & Co. said " The B. & O. 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."

niiual.— lease of the Central R. 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

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

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.
The comparative statistics. for four years have been compiled

The rise is based on the company's excellent condition. It

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.

We are to receive the bonds at 70. Practically the transaction amounts
to a loan of :f2,O0O,0OO to the company. The transfer of control of the
road to us is part of the agreement that is, the present board of directors are to step down and out, and we are to select ourown directors. 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.
The proceeds of the bonds will be used to pay off the floating debt and
to put the road in condition."

made a

material advance. Scarcity felt
at the moment and apprehended for the summer months,
has
been the dominating influence. Against it there was no
arguing. Buying for export nearly ceased when the
price for

was a
sharp advance with shippers again in the market to

Fancy prints were firm for all popular makes, but in certain

adopted by agents at this time of the season to relieve stocks

Domestic Woolen Goods.— Neither jobbers nor wholesale
have been buying to any extent in this department,
and had it not been for a fair-sized duplicating business
agents would have had a meagre week's trading. 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.
