We wish to say a few words
respecting the current
official estimate of the stock of
gold in the United States.
Every now and then the Director of the Mint puts out
figures purporting to cover this item (which, of course, he
has confidence in, being based on Government
statistics,)
but which in the opinion of commercial men familiar with
the subject are very erroneous.

fact to the Government whether his shipment or receipt

frequently his interest is to keep it concealed. Even the

In the case of the Pacific
Bank of Boston, and also of the Mechanics’ Bank of
Newark which failed the same year, we doubt whether
any classification of the loans would have been effectual.
In the latter institution, if we remember rightly, false
entries were made, even forged letters from correspondents
were issued
indicating balances in favor of the bank which
did not exist, while forged paper was put among the
assets payable at places remote from the bank.
In the
matter of the Pacific Bank, the impairment of capital was so
covered up by irregularities in the loans, that one would,
we think, have to present a special schedule, only possible
to prepare after examination, to bring out the real facts.
It is unfortunate that such returns are possible as were
made by these institutions only a very little time before
their weakness was disclosed, but we should be at a loss to
know what division of the item in question would have
served to uncover the irregularities existing. In fact, where

the exhibit it makes, but has the additional merit of com¬

stated in the first return. Our remark that
the company could have realized but little from new sales
of land during 1883 (since no mention of this item was
larger than
since the company had virtually
made in the return, and
closed out its lands in the year preceding) is substantiated,
hut there was “income from other sources” to the amount
$164,707, which raises the surplus from $1,186,093, as
given, to $1,351,400—this, of couise, above all charges for
interest, &c., and also above 7 per cent dividends on both
classes of stock.
It is perhaps well to reiterate that we
have made up this surplus on the basis of the dividends paid
or to he paid out of the year 1883’s income—not the dividends
paid in the year. On the latter basis, the balance would
be still more favorable, since the dividend of April, 1883,
being on a smaller amount of stock, called for less than
does that for April, 18S4.
With this item of miscellane¬

scarcely necessary to call attention again to the
great progress that the company has made within recent
years, as shown by the above figures of gross and net

income (mainly because of the disappearance of land sales)
was
only $164,707, against $623,813 and $635,308 respec¬

will be seen, after the company had paid out nearly

was able to meet this
large charge (in 1879 the amount
was less than
$4,200,000) and yet carry forward a surplus
of nearly
lg- million dollars. This relates simply to the,)
results of operations for the year 1883. The total accumu¬
July as its interest periods),and this of course would diminish
the surplus about $2,750,000. Then, the dividend payable
in April ($1,660,000) was dependent upon 1883’s earnings,
and has been declared out of that year’s income.
If we
allow for both these items, there is still left about $670,000,
which, strictly speaking, is the real surplus. If this seems
a small
balance, it should be remembered that three
months’ earnings will be received before the dividend is
payable, and furthermore that a year ago $3,550,974 of
surplus profits were applied to the payment cf 71,019
shares of stock sold to stockholders at 50 cents on the dollar,
which was practically equivalent to a stock distribution
to the extent of the remaining 50 cents.
The satisfactory features in the present report, however?
are not confined
simply to the operating results of the
year.
The improvement that has been made in the float¬
ing debt is perhaps even more striking. A year ago the
size of this debt gave many of the friends of the company
much concern, though the officials apparently did not share
this anxiety.
The sum total then was over seven millions
and the offsets against it, apart from $2,969,732 cash held
(which had to be applied almost in full the next day to the
payment of maturing interest), were either insignificant or
disputed. This year the gross amount of the debt is only
$3,443,787, and the company held $3,048,965 cash, and
$1,550,232 of bills receivable and balances due it. Even
after allowing for the interest maturing the 1st of January,
which this year must have been about $2,750,009, there is
left only about H millions of the whole sum unprovided for.
As to the company’s bonded debt, the additions during
the year were as stated in our article of February 2.
The
increase amounts to $6,636,500, and the total of the debt
now reaches $96,272,000.
In speaking of the St. Paul,
critics invariably single out this feature for adverse
comment and dilate upon the extent of these funded
obligations. That the aggregate of the debt is very
large is of course an indisputable fact. And yet it is
possible to lay too much stress upon that point. The
debt covers a mileage of 4,760 miles of completed road,
wThich would give an average of only a little more than
$20,000 per mile—a figure that will not be considered
high, and certainly looks small alongside of the per-mile
indebtedness of many other companies.
It is to be noted
also that the total capitalization of St. Paul, stock and all
(the stock being $30,904,261 common and $16,540,983
preferred), is only at the rate of $30,192 per mile. But
the most important consideration with regard to the debt
of the road is, that it constitutes the sole and only charge
against net earnings preceding dividends. In the case of
most large companies, the charge for rentals of leased
lines is almost as heavy, if not heavier, than the direct
charge for interest. We may mention, in illustration, the

to reduce the labor of getting out the report, the process of

report of earnings in 1882 has ever been published; in 1881
gross earnings were $327,652 and operating expenses $340,665.
It is but 50 miles long, and forms the only outlet of the Gould

In 1879 the gross earnings were
reported at $536,838 and operating expenses only $307,287,
leaving net earnings $229,551.

the road should form a syndicate, and, by paying the debt,
of a receiver. It is said that having

BuOYilo.—It is reported that
a
plan for the financial reorganization of the West Shore roail will
shortly be su bum ted to the creditors of the company. The
proposition favored now is to issue a $25,000,000 0 ]>er cent
second mortgage and to fund three years’ coupons of old bonds
inio the new.
Enough of the new bonds will be reserved to
retire the $10,000,000 of income bonds issued to the North
River Construction Company, and the remainder will be
issued to provide equipments, &c. TlieUerminfu bonds author¬
ized will probably be withheld from the market for a year.
The scheme is said,to be favored by a controlling interest in the
road, b;rt is opposed by some large bondholders.
stock known as “ betterment stock.”
So long as this stock seemed the least burdensome
security
that could be placed at par, the directors of the Pittsburg
Fort Wayne & Chicago Company were satisfied to issue it: but
when it advanced in market value above par, the directors
did not feel that they had the right to issue it at par.
The
inevitable result of such an issue, it was stated, would enable
the lessee company, by accumulating these issues in a trust or
sinking fund, in
a few years to outgrow the lessor company in
the control of the latter’s own property.
The issue of the
“betterment stock” was therefore stopped," and negotiations
have been pending with a view to providing some other form
of security to cover the costs of the improvement.
The directors of the Pittsburg Fort Wayne & Chicago Road
have decided to submit to the stock and bond holders the
proposition to issue mortgage bonds not exceeding $20,000,000
in amount; the bonus to have fifty years to run, and to be
issued from time to time, as required, to pay for betterments
under the the terms of* the lease with the Pennsylvania Com¬
pany.
Louis II. Meyer, George W. Cass and Charles Lanier
are the committee
appointed to receive proxies in lavor of the
proposition.
The Pennsylvania, Railroad Company claims to have made
betterments on the leased property amounting to $3,000,000,
for which it has not yet been paid.
Union PacHL*.—The statement of net earnings for January
has been published and shows a large decrease in comparison
with January, 1883.
This is undoubtedly owing in great part
to the cutting in rates,
which is a temporary difficulty.
The candor and fair dealing of the managers in con¬
tinuing to report the earnings when they make a bad
showing, will impress the public most favorably. The
Union Pacific is reducing its debt by land sales, and had
it not been for the delay of Oregon Railway & Navigation in
compl* ting its line to Baker City to a junction with the Union
Pacific’s Oregon Short Line, this road would now have the
benefit of a large Oregon business.
As it is, the connection

advance was not only lost, but the close was at
some decline from the latest prices of Tuesday.
There was
some recovery in the course of Wednesday and Thursday, the
reports from Liverpool and Manchester having improved, and
the receipts at the ports proving quite small.
To-day there
was a buoyant opening but active selling under apprehension
of free deliveries on April contracts, which caused the early
advance to be lost. The close was at an advance for the
weekofl4@17 points for this crop and 16@17 points for the
next. Cotton on the spot lias been quiet, but not being freely
offered prices are dearer. There was an advance of 1-1 Gc. on
Monday and again on Tuesday. To-day there was a further
advance of 1-lGc., middling uplands closing quiet at 111^.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 000,600
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
4,455 bales, including 537 for export, 1,559 for consumption,
2.359 for speculation and — in transit.
Of the above, — Dales
were to arrive.

—A
comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate,
as the weeks in different
years do not end on the same day of
the month. We have consequently added to our other
standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader
may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named.
The movement each month
since September 1, 1883, has been as follows.

320,063 bales more than at the same time in 1881. By adding
to the above totals to Feb. 29 the daily

we shall be able to reach an exact

quiet and depressed,, owing partly to the
slowness of trade, and partly to the reduction in freight rates
hither from the West. Winter wheat flour of high grade has
continued in moderate supply, but some of the lower grades
are in
ample supply. The receipts, however, have been
mainly of spring wheat flour. City mills and Southern flour
sell rather the most readily, though the duluess of all grades
differs only in degree.
To-day the market was dull and
generally weak.
Wheat has been quiet for export but fairly active on specu¬

weather at the West, where the prospects seem to point to an
early Spring seeding. Not a little has been sold in Chicago on

has not followed the latter
closely as at times in the past. Still, the speculative
trading, both here and at Chicago, has been without anima¬
tion, and only a better demand at the latter market for the
lower grades, which are becoming scarce, prevented a more
marked decline there ; though some vvhat smaller receipts have
likewise served to break the force of the downward move¬
ment in wheat.
To-day there was a moderate trade here at a
slight decline. White and yellow descriptions are neglected
and to a great extent nominal. No. 2 mixed closed weak at

There was a contin¬
uation of the light and unsatisfactory demand for cotton
goods lately reported by manufacturers’ agents, and the job¬
bing trade was somewhat disappointing. Brown sheetings
were slow of sale, but the advance in cotton has strengthened
prices in first hands, and Peppereli fine brown sheetings were
advanced }£c. per yard by agents. Bleached goods, and most
kinds of colored cottons, ruled quiet, but a fair business was
done in wide sheetings and corset jeans at steady prices.
Print cloths were in fair demand and dearer (in sympathy
with cotton), closing at 3 7-16c. for G4x64s and 3c. bid for 56x
GOs. Prints were in light and irregular demand by wholesale
buyers, but a fair distribution of both prints and ginghams
was made by jobbers, and wide printed cottons, lawns and
piques were in fair request.

Goods.—The demand for men’s-wear
woolens has not realized the expectations of holders. There
was a fair business in strictly desirable styles of all-wool and
cotton-warp cassimeres, but indifferent makes were almost
neglected. Worsted coatings and suitings were taken in
moderate quantities to a fair aggregate amount, as were
choice makes of overcoatings ; but there was less spirit in the
demand by clothiers than is usually seen at this stage of the
season.
Stocks of the above goods are not excessive, and the
best makes are steadily held at opening quotations.
Satinets
(though in fair demand) were less active than of late, and a
limited business in Kentucky jeans was reported by agents.
Domestic Woolen
Cloakings were fairly active in some quarters (owing to excep¬
tionally low prices), but the general demand was moderate,
and there was only a limited call for ladies cloths, Jersey
cloths and stockinettes, while all wool and worsted dress
fabrics were in fair request, as were shawls and carpets.
Foreign Dry Goods have ruled quiet in importers’hands,
only moderate sales were effected by jobbers. Fancy sum¬
silks and fine black and colored silks were in fair request,
as were a few specialties in fancy dress goods : but low-grade
silks and staple dress fabrics were lightly dealt in.
White
goods, lacss and embroideries met with considerable attention,
but linen goods were slow of sale, as were most kinds of men’s,

GOODS
Friday, P. M., March 21, 18S4.
past week has developed very little change in the
general condition of the dry goods trade. Wholesale buyers
continued to operate lightly, and in accordance with positive
^vants, and a comparatively small business was consequently
done by domestic commission houses and importers. There
was at times a moderately good trade in jobbing circles, but
the weather was capricious, and there were so many quiet
intervals that a much smaller aggregate distribution of season¬
able goods was made by jobbers than has usually been the
the
corresponding period in former years. It has
become apparent that the outlook for a really good spring
trade is not encouraging among distributers and they are
therefore making their early purchases with unusual caution,
but it is by no means improbable that the situation will change
tor the better within the next few weeks, if the demand for
consumption should start up briskly. Values are without
uiaterial change, but a steady advance in cotton has imparted
uiore firmness to some kinds of manufactured goods in first
hands, and a few descriptions have slightly appreciated.

TRADE.
m
Cloakings were fairly active in some quarters (owing to excep¬
tionally low prices), but the general demand was moderate,
and there was only a limited call for ladies cloths, Jersey
cloths and stockinettes, while all wool and worsted dress,
fabrics were in fair request, as were shawls and carpets.
Foreign Dry Goods have ruled quiet in importers'hands,
and only moderate sales were effected by jobbers. Fancy sum¬
mer silks and fine black and colored silks were in fair request,
as were a few specialties in
fancy dress goods ; but low-grade
silks and staple dress fabrics were lightly dealt in.
White
goods, lacufc and embroideries met with considerable attention,
but linen goods were slow of sale, as were most kinds of men’s,

expectations of holders. There
was a fair business
in strictly desirable styles of all-wool ami
cotton-warp cassimeres, but inditferent makes were almost
neglected. Worsted coatings and suitings were taken in
moderate quantities to a fair aggregate amount, as were
choice makes of overcoatings ; but there was less spirit in the
demand by clothiers than is usually seen at this stage of the
season.
Stocks of tiie above goods are not excessive, and the
best makes are steadily held at opening ([notations.
Satinets
(though in fair demand) were less active than of late, and a
limited business in Kentucky jeans was reported by agents.
