The full details of clearings for the week covered by the
above statem ent will be given next Saturday. W e cannot, of
course, furnish them to-day, bank clearings being made up by
th e various clearing home* a t noon on Saturday, and hence in
th e above the last twenty-four hours of the week have to be
to all cases estimated, m we go to pres# Friday night.
We give below our usual detailed figure* for the previous
week, covering the returns for the period ending with S atur­
day noon, March 17, as well aa the comparative totals in 1893.
The aggregate exchange* show a decrease from the previous
week of nineteen and three-quarter mitlion dollars, the loss at
New York being sixteen and a-half mil lions. Compared Jwith
the corresponding period of 1803 eight of the cities record
sgaiits. but io the total for the whole country there is a decline
of 33-2 per cent. The most important percentages of decline
this week have been at Spokane, 63 4 p?r c e n t; Seattle, 68:
Nashville, *6 4 ; Portland. Oregon, 34 ; Chattanooga. 48'«; and
Denver, 45*6 per cent. The heaviest gain* are recorded at
Binghamton, 2 P 1 ; Topeka, 19 2 , and Savannah, 16*3 per cent.

T H E F IN A N C IA L S IT U A T IO N .

The events and influences of the week have all been
of a favorable character except the doubt which has
hung around the action of the President with refer­
ence to the Seigniorage Bill. Since the receipt of the
telegram on Tuesday by Mr. Smith, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, from Mr. Cleveland's private
secretary, discouraging the presence at Washington of
the committee appointed by the Chamber on that day,
even that doubt has been removed, and an assurance
has taken its place that the veto of the measure had been
determined upon. Still the markets here have worn a
quieter look almost all the week. At the Stock Ex­
change bonds have continued in demand, though not
in quite so active request as they have been since about
the first of March, while prices of stocks have in the
main been firm or higher, with little doing. Foreign
exchange became easier for short and for cable transfers
on Wednesday morning when the anxiety with refer­
ence to the Seigniorage Bill had been in good part re­
moved. Thursday developed further weakness.
Railroad prospects are believed to be growing brighter.
Not only have important differences with reference to
rates been adjusted and the roads thereby put into
shape to secure the benefits of the business offering,
but the volume of traffic during future weeks and
months looks more promising than it did a short time
since. With the opening of the present week came the
announcement that the danger of the breaking up of the
Southern Traffic Association (known under the name of
the Southern Railway & Steamship Association) had
been averted. Our readers are in general aware that
this combination includes all the roads south of the
Ohio River and east of the Mississippi, and that a short
time since the Louisville & Nashville peremptorily
withdrew from the Association. That company stated
that it based its action upon the belief of a loss in
traffic brought about by rebates and concessions made
in violation of the Association's engagements. It is
unnecessary to give the details of the controversy or to
attempt to determine the right or the wrong of it now.
The only point of interest to-day is that a satisfactory
settlement of differences has been effected, that the Asso­
ciation will be preserved, and that rates will be main­
tained.
The settlement of another rate controversy has also
just been announced. We refer to the trans-Continental
war between the Southern Pacific and the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Pe. That difference had its origin in
September last, but was on that occasion soon patched
up ; it broke out again the first of March, and since
then has been attended with heroic and vigorous cut­
ting of passenger rates. On Tuesday Mr. Reinhart,
President and co-receiver of the Atchison, authorized
the announcement that the war was ended, and that he

[V ol . L V III.

had issued directions to restore rates immediately. We
assume that the Atchison has not resumed, and does
not at present intend to resume, its position in the
Western Traffic Association from which it withdrew a
short time since because of a dispute growing out of
the disturbance of relations with the Southern Pacific.
Mr. Reinhart says he intends, however, that hie
position and action in that particular shall not be con­
strued so as to give rise to any difference as to the
maintenance of rates in any part of the district covered
by the Western Association.
An affair of even greater importance is the agree­
ment which it is expected will go into effect on the 1st
of April entered into by the railroads in what is known
as the joint committee territory.
That territory
includes all lines between Chicago, St. Louis and Cin­
cinnati and the Atlantic seaboard, except the New
England roads and all of the Canadian roads other than
the Grand Trunk. The agreement is to maintain rates and
to refrain from paying commissions on passenger busi­
ness, the roads putting themselves under a penalty of ten
thousand dollars for any violation of the terms of the
contract. It is stated that the papers have been very
carefully drawn, and it is believed that the conditions
can be easily enforced in the courts, and that therefore
the objects sought to be attained will at last be accom­
plished. It is also asserted that the agreement is in
accord with the intent and purpose of the Inter-State
Commerce law. This very important contract is now
in process of execution by the several roads which are
parties to it, and as already stated is expected to be
operative on the 1st of April.
The foregoing announcements have all been made
the past few days; they will be received by security
holders as signs of promise encouraging the hope of
better traffic conditions in the near future. At the
same time an improvement in industrial affairs has also
set in. This has been growing more evident ever since the
bond purchase announcement; it received a fresh im­
pulse when the success of the measure became assured
and was furthered again when the Treasury balance
was restored with the proceeds of the sale. The
country's industries might have developed faster had
this recovery of confidence engaged the co-operation of
our legislators. Unfortunately, in place of aiding,
Congress in appearance has from first to last sought to
do what it could to check the movement, and is still
busy in the same way, as we explained in this column
last week. But it looks now as if with the aid of the
President’s veto power we may be able to rise above
this last drawback. For, in addition to the suggestions
made above, Nature just now is likewise co-operating
to help on the recovery. The information about the
winter crop condition has been very favorable the last
two weeks. Fall-sown wheat has been rapidly getting
beyond the fear of harm, while the spring is certain to
be an early one, and that ensures a good start and
promise for a prosperous crop year. As we write, a
severe cold storm is reported in the West. Of course
it is possible that this may prove injurious, but as it
comes late in the season it is likely to be short, and as
it is attended with snow the grain we may assume will
be protected, and hence injury is not probable.
Last week's bank statement showed an unexpectedly
large gain in cash and in surplus reserve which was
probably due to transfers of funds from some of the
trust companies or savings banks to the Clearing-House
institutions. The loans were augmented by $3,108,600, j
the cash gained $3,459,600 and the deposits were in-

THE CHRONICLE.

Whose interests then are most of all being en­
dangered by this Seigniorage Bill and other measures
like it ? Whose incomes are most disastrously threat­
ened ? As Mr. Cleveland so truly said in his message
to the extra session of Congress, “ the speculator may
anticipate a harvest gathered from the misfortunes of
others: the capitalist may protect himself by hoarding
or may even find profit in the fluctuation of values;
but the wage earner, the first to be injured by a de­
preciated currency and the last to receive the benefit
of its corrections, is practically defenseless.' No one
can confute a word in that statement. Probably Mr.
Bland and his coadjutors do not realize the true
meaning of their utterance—but does any reader fail
to see what a cruel sarcasm underlies their words when
to fool the wage earner they call their silver idol, as
they so often do, “ the poor man’s dollar f

In the Texas & Pacific we haTe a road which reports
for 1893 an increase in both gross and net earnings—
at a time when because of th6 panic and the general
industrial depression very few other important roads
are able to record an increase in either gross or net.
The annual report now issued also possesses interest
by reason of the fact that since March 1, 1892, the
company in its management has been subject to a now
condition. On the date mentioned the provision in
the second mortgage income bonds by which the
trustee of the mortgage can take possession of the
property and manage it under the direction of a com­
mittee appointed by a majority of the bondholders, in
case interest is not psid and the holders of one-third
in amount of the bonds outstanding request the trustee
to take such step, went into effect. The bondholders
have not availed of the privilege—probably because it
was not clear that anything could be gained by such
action, but the right exists, Bssides this, the Texas
& Pacific, while furnishing weekly and monthly reports
of its gross earnings, does not furnish monthly returns
of the net, and hence the report gives us the first
information we have had regarding the year's results
in that particular.
Conditions in Texas have undoubtedly been better
than in most other States. In the first place, since
Judge McCormick issue ! his injunction order against
the Texas Railroad Commission the railroads have
been able to obtain better rates—that is, rates which
while still unsatisfactory were not so disastrously low
as when the schedules of the Commission were in force.
In the second place, Texas being an agricultural rather
than a mining or manufacturing State, it has not felt
the depression in trade so severely as the sections
where manufacturing and miniog industries predomi­
nate. Then crop results in the sections traversed
by the road proved fairly good and the road
had a larger volume of agricultural tonnage
than in the year preceding, the shipments of cot­
ton especially and of miscellaneous agricultural pro­
ducts showing an increase. Besides this, there has
been development of the territory through which the
line extends in both Texas and Louisiana, further­
more, by providing elevator and terminal facilities the
company has been able to build up the export trade
through New Orleans,
The report shows an increase of $-346,593, or about 5
p«r cent, in the gross earnings and a decrease of $267,022, or about 5 per cent, in the operating expenses.

493

As a result of these two changes net earnings
have risen from $1,502,757 in 1892 to $2,116,372
in 1893, the increase being $613,615, or about 40
per cent.
With the reduction in expenses the
ratio of expenses to earnings still amounts to 71‘14 per
cent, this comparing with 7S-49 per cent in 1892,
The figures do not include the taxes. These would1
make the ratio about 3 per cent higher. The report
states that the decrease in expenses during 1893 waseffected mainly by the practice of economies in every
branch of the service. As regards the gain in earnings,
the largest increase in revenue in the freight traffic
was from cotton, where the movement was 76,428 bales
larger than for 1892, yielding an addition to earnings
of $244,839. But the increase was not confined to this
item ; of flour the road carried 42,914 tons against
37,641 tons; of “ miscellaneous agricultural products”
203,697 tons against 132,266 tons: of live stock 137,110
tons against 110,846 tons; of coal 159,689 tons against
130,526 tons; of salt 26,854 tons against 25,461 tons; of
lumber 335,321 tons against 333,810 tons, and of general
and miscellaneous articles of merchandise and manu­
factures 414,189 tons against 392,760 tons. Only four
items show a decrease, namely, grain 183,809 tons
against 223,455 tons; “ miscellaneous animal products'v
6.311 against 7,765 tons; miscellaneous forest products
26.311 tons against 45,683 tons and other miscellaneous
products 111,5*8 tons against 117,269 tons.
It deserves also to be noted that the increase in
traffic and revenues extends to both the local and the
through freight. Thus the through traffic amounted
to 983,658 tons in 1893, against 884,739 tons in 1892,
the local traffic 806,433 tons, against 795,928 ton s;
the through revenue $2,836,047, against $2,554,319,
and the local revenue $2,203,366, against $2,162,366.
Passenger earnings in the aggregate increased only
$249 during the year. But in the foreign and
competitive passenger business there was an increase
of $22,914, owing to the World’s Fair ; the earnings
from local passenger traffic fell off $22,663, this reflect­
ing the depression in business. Gross transportation
earnings (passenger and freight oembined) show a de­
crease only in the case of one of the three grand di­
visions into which the system is divided, namely
the Rio Grande Division,
where thero has
been a falling off of $38,639. It is explained
that settlers in western Texas, particularly in the coun­
try lying between the Brazos and Colorado Rivers, suf­
fered considerable loss in the cultivation of wheat on
account of the long period of excessively dry weathor
which prevailed. The report notes, howover, that the
planting of cotton on the line of the Rio Grande Di­
vision in the country between the Brazos River and
Big Springs, is increasing from year to year, and states
that the acreage to be planted in 1894 will largely
exceed that of any previous year. "It is a crop which
matures better than cereals under conditions of irregu*lar and scant rain-fall, and can be better relied upon
to bring some return than any other crop thus far
experimented with in that section.”
With $2,116,372 net earnings and $117,768 of other
income, the company had charges of $1,574,224 to
meet for obligatory interest, rentals and taxes, leaving
an excess of income of $659,916. Of this surplus
$132,819 has been used in making betterments and ad­
ditions to the property, and the remainder has been
applied to the redaction of the floating debt and the
strengthening of the company’s financial condition.
That this was the wisest course to pursue admits of n a

question, <vet. from the standpoint of the second niort*
gage bondholders, who as a consequence are obliged to
forego any dividend on their bonds. It is proper to
gtate that the total betterment and extraordinary ex­
penditure., during the year wore $ 4 14,087, but that
$281,298 of the amount war; charged in operating
expenses. At the beginning of 18913 the company
had 1:52.3/48) of hills payable outstanding; on
January 1, 185)4, the amount was only 7100,000;
some of the other items of current liabilities, have also
been reduced during the year, as for instance
" vouchere unpaid ” from 1700,701 to $552,798. 'the
aggregate of all current Labilities (including the bills
payable) at the end of the year is reported 71,21 J,080,
and the aggregate of the current assets, not including
materials on hand, 71,271/427. Tire company also
holds ,r, ,t; treasury $1,793,000 of its second mort­
gage income bonds, though of course these do not have

hike the Chicago A North Western, which controls it,
and whose figure;; for the Calendar year we gave last
w eek, the Chicago 8t. Paul Minneapolis A Omaha suf­
fered a heavy reduction of its earnings in 1898 as a re
lull, of the panic and the falling off in business. The
company's fiscal year differs from that of the North
W<st, it;; year corresponding with the calendar year,
and the annual report for 18911 haw been issued this
week. The falling off in the gross receipts is found to
be$8(58,014, or 9*44 percent. Hutlarge though this do
crease is, it is not equal to the previous year’s gain,
which was 71,175,030, and thus notwithstanding the
depression, the company is able to report for 18911 the
largest gross earnings in its history with the single ex
tteptfori of 1892 The same fact has been noted in the
case of some other roads; and it furnishes a striking
commentary upon the growth and development of the
country that the effect of such a period of industrial
prostration as that which the country experienced dur
Sng the last half of 1891} has been simply to set the
roads hack a year or two in the totals of their earnings.
The fact, is full of promise too as to the future, since it
would seem to make recovery certain when confidence
shall again have been restored.
From an examination of the details of the results, it
is evident that the falling off in earnings on the Omaha
would have been heavier except for the traffic derived
from the World’s, Fair. The decrease in freight earn
legs is $79(5,004, or 11*90 per cent; the decrease in
passenger earnings only $93,238, or 2*90 per cent.
Moreover, while the number of passengers moved de­
creased :T I per cent, the number carried one mile
actually marcnswj I*48 percent, shewing a larger pro*
portion of long distance passengers carried, a result
which is further confirmed by the fact that there was
an increase of 10*1)7 per emit in the average distance
traveled by each passenger. Those various changes
clearly reveal the presence of the passenger business
from the Fair. In the freight traffic, with
a decrease of 11*90 per cent in earnings, there is ude­
crease, of 12'28 per cent in the number of tons moved,
and a decrease of 13*84 per cent in the tonnage move­
ment one mile, and in these changes we see rollccfed
the, effects of the industrial paralysis from which the
whole country has suffered. President Marvin Hughitt
says that tin </change of traffic with connecting lines

local distribution of merchandise was considerably re­
duce/! from the volume of the preceding year. Losses
of local commodity shipments, ho states, were mainly
in wheat and live stock, and in lumber, brick, stone
and other building materials.
'Die decrease of 7898,014 in aggregate gross earn­
ing s was met to the extent of 7524,798 by a reduction
in expenses, leaving the loss in net $1)411/45J. The
percentage of decrease in gross, as already stated, was
9*4.4 per cent; in the expenses the ratio of decrease is
8'24 per cent. Doubtless the fact will attract atten­
tion that while the total of the expenses shows a
reduction of 8*24 per cent, the items of expenses
included under the head of "conducting transporta­
tion” show a reduction of only 58 hundredths of one
percent, and “ general expenses” a reduction of 2*94
per cent, while on the other hand in maintenance of
equipment there has been a decrease of 13'24 per cent,
and in maintenance of way and structure* a decrease
of as much as 18*95 per cent. The heavy ratios
of decline in these instances may follow either
from inordinately low outlays in 1898 or from excep­
tionally large expenditures in the year preceding. As
it happens, the latter is the true explanation. Thus
while in 1892 the grand total of expenses recorded an
increase over 1891 of 19*93 per cent, “ conducting
transportation ” showed an increase of, only 10*42 per
cent, hut maintenance of equipment ari increase of
23*27 per cent arid maintenance of way and structures
arj increase of 27*98 per cent. The variations in the
percentages for 1898 are therefore connected with
similar variations in 18512. The company spent more
for maintenance of way arid structures in 1898 than in
1891, and also more for maintenance of equipment; in
fact expenses are heavier for 1898 than for 1.891 under
each of the various heads. As far as concerns the
general aggregate of expenses, the ratio to earnings
is larger for 1898 than for cither of the two years pre­
ceding, both with and without the taxes. With the
taxes, the ratio stands at 70*19 per cent for 1893,
against 99*24 per cent for 1892 and 97*90 per cent for
1891.
While the loss in net earnings has been consider­
able, tlic company earned all its charges and the full 7
per cent on its preferred shares, and had left besides a
surplus of 7177,109 on the operations of the twelve
months. For 1892 the surplus was as much as 7500,99). Of course this does not include any income from
land sales in either year, Tne company is very con­
servatively managed, and in J898, it will he remembered,
wroteolf 79,9,88,157 of accumulated land income which
had been spent for additions and betterments to the
property, the accumulated surplus being at the same
time reduced in that amount. During 1893 the net
amount credited to land income, account was $132,332,
raising it to $599,801.
As to the finances of the company, it is needless to
say that they are in excellent shape. Including
accrued interest and all current accounts, m also the
dividend paid in January on the preferred stock, the
total Of all ope,rating liabilities Decernbet 8f, 185)5, was
less than 1i million dollars 71,492,579 , and against
this the company had 71,888,5)28 of current assets
(not including fuel and materials), $1,987,897 of the
amount being actual cadi. Tne company also holds in
its treasury $593,327 of its consolidated mortgage
bonds, besides $242,009 of other bonds. It isannounced
that the dividend period is to hechanged from January
and July to February and August, so as to allow more

time to make up the accounts and enable the board of
directors to have before them the audited results,
instead of partly estimated results, when the dividend
question comes up for consideration at the end of each
half-year.

Onr statement of net earnings this time is for the
month of January, the first month of the newyear. It
can not bo said that the year makes an auspicious be­
ginning. On the contrary, the results are unsatisfactory
and the statement presents few encouraging features.
Business conditions were very unfavorable and it was
known that the losses in gross earnings had been heavy,
but in view of the rigid jsoltcy of retrenchment and
economy which railroad managers have pursued, it was
hoped that the reduction in expenses would suffice to
overcome this loss in gross receipts. On several large
systems this has proved to be the case. On the roads
as a whole it has not been the ease, and there is not
only a very largo falling off in gross earnings but a

Union Pacific, it should be stated that the figures this
time do not include the operations of the Union Pacific
Denver & Gulf and the Port Worth & Denver ; other­
wise the loss would be still larger, as the Union Pacific
Denver & Gulf reports a decrease of $139,153 in gross

Considering tbe roads by groups, there is not a
single group outside of the Mexican roads which is
able to show an increase in gross, and only two which
are able to report an increase in net. The South­
western group, the Pacific and the Middle Western are
the ones making the poorest exhibits, the percentages
of decrease for these being respectively 29*31, 25 '29
and 2 0 ’84. In the Southwestern group the Houston
East & West Texas is the only one with an increase in
net, in the Pacific group the Oregon Improvement is
the only exception aside from two minor lines in the
Union Pacific system and two in the Southern Pacific,
while in the Middle Western group six of the twentytwo roads report improved net, the Elgin Joliet & East­
ern, the Toledo Ann Arbor & North Michigan and the
Cleveland Akron & Columbus being among the number.
Quite in contrast with the heavy losses for these
groups is the result for the Northwestern group, where
the decrease is but 1-33 per cent, and the St. Paul and
the St. Paul & Duluth are the only ones falling behind
in their net. In the Eastern and Middle group the
% falling ofi in net is hardly more than nominal, and 8
o f the 15 roads have gains. For the trunk lines the
ratio of loss is only 4'96 per cen t ; the relatively good
result follows mainly from the increases made by the

[Y ou LVII1.

Pennsylvania, the Wabash, the Baltimore & Ohio, and
the Big Four with the Peoria & Eastern— all on
reduced expenditures. The anthracite coal group is
one of the two groups which are able to report an increase in net, tlie increase reaching $101,447 or 1 3 -07
percent. Among the roads in this group all but two
have enlarged their net, the Central of New Jersey
being one of these.
The very best exhibit of any, however, speaking gen­
erally, is made by the Southern group, and singularly
enough this is one of the few groups which had an in­
crease last year too. In the gross the present year the
group has less than 2 per cent decrease, and it3 in­
crease in net is $125,372, or 7 '32 per cent. It was
stated above that out of the whole 135 roads in all the
groups, only 29 had gains in gross and 58 gains in net.
No less than 17 of the roads with gains in gross and 19
of the roads with gains in net, come from the Southern
group. The Norfolk & Western has $104,407 increase
in gross and $94,750 increase in net, and the Savannah
Florida & Western, the Alabama Midland and the
Georgia Southern & Florida are some others which have
done well.

The Collector of Customs at San Francisco has furnished
us this week the details of imports and exports of gold and
silver through that port for the month of February, and they
are given below, together with the figures for the preceding
months, thus completing the figures for the eight months of
the fiscal year 1893-94. Imports were much heavier than in
January, the amount of gold received reaching $365,135, of
which $6,758 was in coin. Of silver there came in $183,840,
of which §148,998 was bullion. There has been received
during the eight months a total of $3,537,738 gold and $1,455,984 silver, which compares with $5,403,145 gold and $1,938,034 silver in 1892-93. The shipments of gold during February
were $92,670, all coin, and the exports of silver have been
$371,354 coin and $413,600 bullion, For the eight months
the exports of gold have been $981,688, against $848,696 in
1893-93, and $9,348,759 silver has been sent out, against $Ll,-«

L o n d o n , Saturday,

March 10, 1894.
The demand for short loans has been very strong this week,
and the Bank of England has done a large business. Thurs­
day’s return is rather misleading, for it shows a decrease in
the loans of over 3 millions sterling; but that is due to the
fact that the India Council having sold its bills freely has
been able to repay the Bank a considerable amount. The
repayments from the market were much smaller than they
seemed to be, and since Thursday morning the market has
been borrowing again. But the demand is merely temporary.
It will end now in a week or a fortnight at the outside, and
•infter that money is expected to be very plentiful and cheap.
The Bank of England is unusually strong. The coin and
bullion amount to very nearly 30J^ millions sterling, and
gold io coming in freely, while the foreign demand has quite
ceased. The reserve is very nearly 23 millions sterling—
the larges-1 evtr held by the Bank.

[Vou Lvm.

During the week ended Tuesday night the India Council
was very successful in the sale of its drafts. It disposed by
private contract of some every day, and it realized altogether
during the week nearly £908,000. On Wednesday it offered
as usual 50 lakhs at public tender. It sold only about 32*^
lakhs. The prices, however, were very good, the average
being slightly over Is. 2d. per rupee. Owing to the accumu­
lation of money in the Presidency treasuries, the Indian
money market is exceedingly tight, and merchants were
compelled last week, and at the beginning of this week, to
sell their bills freely. When they did so the exchange banks
were in a position to buy the Council’s drafts, and this let out
money from the treasuries, and so has somewhat eased the
Indian market. In consequence merchants have stopped
selling their bills, and the demand for Council drafts has fallen
off. But probably it will revive again, and the Council will be
able to sell tolerably freely for a month or two. The silver
market was very strong early in the week, but it has given
way somewhat again. The price is now about 27%d. per
ounce.
The Board of Trade returns for Febtuary are satisfactory.
The value of the imports was £33,984,000, an increase over
February of last year of £4,224,000, or somewhat more than
14 per cent. The increase in the imports was largest in the
raw materials for textile manufactures—wool, flax, jute and
cotton. It was also large in articles of food and drink duty
free, especially oats, barley and maize. The value of the
exports of Biitish and Irish produce and manufactures was
£17,679,000, an increase of £586,000, or nearly 3% per cent.
There was a very large increase in the exports of cotton piecegoods to India. Altogether India took, in round figures,
about £900,000 worth more than in February of last year.
But on the other hand there was a very great falling-off in the
exports to the United States, amounting to, in round figures,
about £800,000 ; so that the decrease in the shipments to the
United States nearly off-set the increase to India. There has
been a fair increase in the exports to other countries, espec­
ially to the Continent.
The reports from the new gold fields in Western Australia
are very satisfactory. Probably they are over-sanguine just
now. But there is no doubt that the gold fields are proving
exceedingly rich ; and the Union Bank of Australia—one of
the few banks that has come out of the crisis with higher
credit—has opened a branch for the purchase of the gold.
Last year the production in Western Australia was somewhat
under half a million sterling—about double what it had been
in 1892. Even cautious mining engineers estimate that the
production will double again in the present year, while many
predict a much greater increase. The reports from South
Africa are likewise very favorable. In the old gold fields the
output is steadily increasing and the most sanguine hopes
are entertained respecting Mashonaland.
The resignation of Mr. Gladstone was officially confirmed
on Saturday last, and Lord Rosebery has succeeded him.
The new Prime Minister inspires confidence in all classes.
Even his political opponents admit that in his hands the
interests of the Empire will be safe, while amongst bi9 own
party he is looked upon with complete confidence by the
working classes as well as by capitalists. An attempt was
made by a small section of the Radicals, headed by Mr.
Labouchere, to prevent his appointment on the ground of his
being a Peer, but the attempt utterly broke down. The
change of ministry has had scarcely any influence upon
the course of business.
There is a good investment business goiDg on upon the Stock
Exchange. Up to the end of last week the demand chiefly
ran upon the very best classes of securities, of which consols are
the type, and prices rose extravagantly. This week the
demand has greatly widened, and the very best securities are
somewhat lower. There is a good demand for sound Amer­
ican railroad bonds,, and generally foreign securities are
coming more into request than they have been in some time
past. The very best securities and British securities gener­
ally are so high that investors are looking out for what will
give them a somewhat larger return for their money. This
tendency is sure to become strengthened as time goes on, and
the demand for sound American bonds will therefore increase.
But speculation is quite at a standstill. After a while it will,
no doubt, spring up again under the influence of very cheap
money, but as yet nobody is prepared to take much risk.
Germany the e has been an improvement since the conclusion

of the Commercial treaty w ith Russia. Bankers are entering
i n to various new combinations, and there is likely to be also a re­
vival in trade. The Italian outlook seems more favorable, too,
a n d Italian rentes have recovered somewhat. In Paris business
is q u ie t; but the great bankers are very confident that th e
shifting of investments will by and by lead to a great increase
in business In A rgentina there is much political unrest.

The Money M arket and F inancial S itu a tio n .—'The Stock
Exchange m arkets closed w ith Thursday, as Good Friday is
now- a dies non at the Stock, Produce and other Exchanges.
There has been great confidence th a t President Cleveland
would veto the seigniorage bill ever since h k dispatch to the
Cham ber of Commerce com mittee advising them not to come
to Washington. This has given strength to securities and lias
encouraged foreign buying, as the London m arket had pre­
viously been holding off in apprehension th a t the bill m ight
possibly become a law.
There has been no fu rth e r progress announced this week in
an y of the railroad reorganizations, and th is circumstance,
together w ith the w aiting for the tariff bill and the seignior­
age bill, have kept financial operations in a halting position.
There is. however, a feeling of satisfaction in com paring the
present period w ith the same month last year, when we were
rushing on tow ards the disastrous silver crisis. Now we are
undoubtedly on the road to recovery; the only question is as
to the tim e it will take to get business bock into it* former
channels with its customary impetus.
There seem to be signs of life in new electrical enterprises,
-and the contracts reported a* already given out or under con­
templation by different corporation-, run up to pretty high
figures.
Such reports as come from tire W est, chiefly from Montana
an d Colorado, spoak of a large increase in the gold product
for 188-1, and if the machines for treating the old placer dig­
gings with a very small supply of w ater* vw become thoroughly
successful, a very large increase in th e gold production
m a r be looked for.
Trie open m arket rat is for call loans during the week on
•toek and bond collaterals have ranged fro® 1 to IJ-j per cent,
4he average being i *£ per c e n t To-day rates on call were 1
t o 1 per cent. P rim s commercial paper quoted a t 3 to 4 per
cent.
The Bank of England weekly statem ent on ThurstUy
showed a decrease in bullion of £118.819 and the p e rc e n t;'!
of reserve to liabilities was 38-17, against 63-81 l t d w eik ; ths
discount rate remain* u acbangel at 3 p e rc e n t. The Bank
tit France shows an increase of 5,lOQ,tw gold in francs and
3,825,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of March 17 showed an increase in the reserve held of
13,439,600 and a surplus over the required reserve of
177,802.300, against $75,843,375 the previous week.

Railroad bonds have been quite active in special issues,
Usually at firm or advancing prices. The Texas & Pacific
1st* and 2d* were bought very freely after the publication of
the annual report showing a good surplus in 1883 over the first
mortgage interest; they closed on Thursday a t 31 and 23 ’, re­
spectively, Atchison bond* have sold fairly and closed
strong a t 76 and 3S!y'. Chesapeake & Ohio issues were
stronger on a good demand. N orthern Pacific bonds were
notably higher on a good business, apparently stim ulsted by
the rather favorable report of income to Dec. 81 and by the
fact th a t leas than $2,000,000 of receivers’ certificates have
twen issued, Chicago & N orthern Pacific! were active and
closed a t 4fJJ*. the com mittee of reorganization now controliog over $13,400,000 of these bonds. Mo, K m , Sc Tex. 2ds were
active, aeliing up to 45 and closing a t 4i)£, Philadelphia &
Reading securities w ere weak on Tnursduy, b ut w ith very
few sale*, the i-A»ior prices being attributed to the fear of a
decline in coal freights, and also to the application for begin­
ning the subway in Philadelphia, though" the yearly charge
on th a t account will be small. Prices of other bonds were
generally firm on the expectation of a veto of the seigniorage
bill and some London buying in consequence of that.

Net Earnings Monthly to Latest Dates.—The following
shows the gross and net earnings to latest dates of all railroads
furnishing monthly statements. The compilation includes
every road from which vve can get returns of this character,
and in that form is given once a month. Early returns are
published from week to week, a 3 soon as issued, but for the
convenience of our readers all the roads 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 o f
the month. A paragraph mark (-jf) added after the name
of a road indicates that the figures for that road for the period
gi^en have not previously been published by us.

INCO M E ACCOUNT.

( F o r the yea r ending Decem ber 31, 1 89 3 .)

The annual report is signed by Mr. George J. Gould, Presi­
dent. He says that “ the year 1893 will be long remembered
as marking a period of great financial depression in which
railway interests suffered perhaps in greater proportion than
any other. It is therefore gratifying to your Board, under
such circumstances, to be able to report that the earnings of
your property for the past twelve months have been exception­
ally good, and furnish a cause for congratulation. This result
has been produced mainly by a careful watch over expendi­
tures of every kind, the introduction of economies in every
branch of the service, a somewhat better maintenance of
rates, and the development of the teriitory through whica
your line extends in Louisiana and Texas. The increase
shown, particularly in the first six months of the year, was
also due to the fact that in the corresponding period of 1892
the disastrously low rates established by the Texas Railwav
Commission were in force and seriously affected earnings.” * *
“Expenditures for renewals and betterment of track, and
increase and replacement of roiling stock, have been quite
large for the past two years, and must so continue for some
time to come. The steady reduction in rates, the increase of
competition, and demands for more frequent train service,
renderit of vital importance that your road should be put and
kept in such condition as to enable it not only to retain its
full measure of traffic, but to minimize the cost of transporta­
tion. To accomplish this, locomotives of greater power, cars
of larger capacity and rails of heavier weight are absolutely
essential.” * * *
“The gross earnings of your property for the fiscal year
show an increase over the corresponding period of 1892 of
$346,592, while the expenses of operation for the same period
decreased $267,021, making the total increase of net earnings
for the year amount to $613,614. In freight traffic the largest
increase in revenue was from cotton, in which the move­
ment was 76,428 bales over 1892, and the gain in revenue
$244,838. The rates on grain, lumber and coal, in which the
traffic was large, were so low that it was only by fostering
local traffic and giving the closest attention to its develop­
ment that earnings were maintained. While passenger traffic
shows a total increase of only $249, foreign or competitive
business increased $22,914 over last year, owing to the World's
Fair, the general business depression being reflected in local
earnings, which decreased $22,664. It will be seen by refer­
ence to the comparative statement of earnings and expenses
by divisions that $264,658 of the total increase of net earnings,
or over 43 per cent, was derived from the Louisiana Division!
This increase is due not only to the growth of local business
on that division, which is very encouraging, but also to the
" movement of grain (wheat and corn) to New Orleans for ex­
port. Your attention was directed in the last annual report
to the general movement of Western grain to New Orleans for
shipment abroad, and figures were given showing the remark­
able increase in that movement for the years of 1891 and 1892.
It may now be added that the shipment of corn in the past
year has largely increased, your company’s elevator having
handled in the year just closed no less than 808,673 bushels of
that grain.” * * *
“Your company commenced the fiscal year just closed with
a net floating debt, including equipment notes, of $528,000.
It was therefore considered the first duty of your manage­

The annual report states that the Menomonie Railway,
running from Cedar Falls, Wts., to connection with main line
near Menomonie Junction, Wis., and from Menomonie
Junction to Menomonie, Wis., a distance of 5% miles in
a ll; the Sault Ste. Marie & South Western Railway, running
from Fairchild, Wis., to Mondovi, Wis., a distance of about
37 miles, and the Eau Claire Railway, running from West Eau
Claire, Wis., to Shaw’s Mill, Wis., a distance of 2% miles,
were merged into the property and conveyed to the Chicago’
St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Company during the
year. The first two of these roads have heretofore been
operated as proprietary companies. The mileage at close of
year was 1,492'23; the increase of 10 62 miles was caused by
the extension from Ponca to Newcastle, Neb.
By the merging of the Sault Ste. Marie & South Western
Rail-way, its bonds, amounting to $400,000, which have ap­
peared m the funded debt of this company as “guaranteed
bonds’ are stated in this report as a direct liability. By the
completion and acquisition of other oraaches merged during,
the year, 18% miles of railroad have been added for which
consolidated mortgage bonds were issued at the rate of $15,000
per mile, amounting to $276,281.

“The stagnation of business throughout the country mate­
rially affected both passenger and freight traffic. The ex­
change of traffic with connecting lines fell to the level of the
prevalent general depression, and the local distribution of
merchandise was considerably reduced from the volume of
the preceding year. Comparative losses of local commodity
shipments were mainly in wheat, live stock, lumber, brick,
stone and other building materials.1'
In the land department there were 15,947 acres sold during
the year, leaving 468,996 acres unsold Dec. 31, 1893. The
amount of land grant bills receivable and contracts held by
the company on Dec. 81, 1893, was $501,968.
For purposes of convenience, it is proposed to change the
dividend periods so that the transfer books shall be closed on
the last of July and January, instead of June and December,
and that the dividends be hereafter paid a month later than
formerly, or, approximately, upon the 20th of .August and
30th of February.

Toledo Railway.
31, 189J.^
The reportof Mr. C. C. Waite, President, remarks that “ notf srtlhstandiog the‘financial disturbances of the prut summer,
followed by the continued industrial depression during the
autumn, there was a reduction in gross earnings of but $102,223 in comparison with the previous year, which was the most
favorable during the history of the road. Of this reduction
but. $78,411 was caused by a falling off in freight traffic. Tiereduction in revenues from car mileage of $27,358 was chi- fly
aau-ssd by*,the me of larger cara, by which less mileage was
earned upon foreign road*. The advantage, however, of the
locreiiHi d capacity of ears and engines and reductions of
grades is evidenced in the further reduction of $39,558 in the
cost of conducting transportation, with a decrease of 22*29
per cent in the freight train mileage, and of 10 92 per cent in
: freight car mileage, while the decrease in number of tons
moved was less than one per cent.” * * *
“ With a view of controlling future shipment* from the
-■Oil field tributary to fyour road, the board of director* his
deemed it expedient, and to that end has advanced m meys
»nd loaned its ere lit, to parch w 11,000 acres of coal Ian Is
contiguous to those now controlled by your c imp my.
^
Ule is taken In the name of a trustee, until such ti ne as
a financial plan m aybe matured through which your com­
pany will be reimbursed for advances made. The*- land*
were purchased at moderate price* after the existence of coal,
clay, etc . had been fully proven by careful tests, and ardeemed valuable acquisition* to your property. *

In hi* annual report. President Roberts rent irks that the
increase in groea earnings of $35,400 was mainly due to an
increase in earnings from freight traffic of $24,183, there hav­
ing also been an increase in the earning* from passenger
traffic of $7.566 and an increase in miscellaneous receipts of
$6,527, with small decrease* in the other sources of revenue.
The expense* show a decrease of $9,131, which occurred prin­
cipally in the conducting transportation and motive power
departments, tbeie having been an increase in the mainte­
nance of cars and maintenance of way expenses, the general
expense* being slightly less than for the previous year. The
net result was an increase in net earning* of $14,381,
“ During the year $380,000 of the first mortgage seven per
cent bonds which matured December 31, 1892, were re­
deemed ; the remainder of the bond* ($210,000) were redeemed
on the date of their maturity, reference to which wa* m *de in
the report for 1892, and as stated in that report, $500,000 of
five per cent bonds, maturing January 1. 1911, were issued
January 1, 1993, under the provisions of the consolidated
mortgage, and the proceeds used to redeem the $190,000 ma­
turing bonds, and to reduce the floating debt of the company.
There was also issued to the Pennsylvaui i Railroad Company
on December 80, 1893, a five per cent debenture certificate
maturing December 31, 1903, for $395,000, to repiy to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company advances made from time to
time to this company for expenditures on account of con­
struct! m, equipment and real estate, the issue o' such certifi­
cate liquidating the entire amount of the debt ($385,000) due
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at the close of
1893 ”

/'F o r the yea r en ding December SI, 189SJ

The annual report shows that the gross earnings of the sys­
tem decreased $58,274, due almost entirely to a decrease in
passenger earnings of $46,266 and in freight earnings of $11,248; the expenses increased $7,586, resulting in a decrease of
net earnings of $65,811.
During the year the common capital stock was increased
$538,350, issued as follows : In exchange for special guaran­
teed stock, $16,300 ; for conversion of dividend scrip, $200 ; to
shareholders under the privilege given them April 10, 1893, of
subscribing at par to twenty-five per cent of their holdings,
$521,850. The amount derived from the issue of new stock
under the allotment privilege as referred to above was used
to pay the Pennsylvania Railroad Company the amount bor­
rowed from that company, and to provide for construction
and equipment expenditures and other needs of the
company.
The road-bed, tracks, equipment and other property of the
company were maintained in good condition. No serious
damage was done to the road-bed during the year by high
tides. The equipment was increased by the addition of three
steam motors, four parlor cars, two passenger cars, ten flat
cars and three maintenance-of-way cars. This company
ceased operating the Winslow & Richland and Richland &
Petersburg railroads on July 1, 1893.

of the Chicago Peoria & St. Louis and the Jacksonville Louis­
ville & St. Louis railways, adopted January 8, has been de­

body, Jr., and Henry L. Tnornell have been appointed to act
as a committee for the protection of the rights of the first
mortgage five per cent binds and request all holders of the
same to send their addresses and the amount of their hold­
ings without delay to the United States Trust Company, or to
any member of the committee.

recent order granted by Judge Ricks allowing the receivers
to borrow $1,100,000 to liquidate the indeb edness of the
company.
Illin o is Steel Co.—The 5 per cent 20-year debenture bonds
dated April 1, 1893, were listed last week o n the New York
Stcck Exchange. On a subsequent page the company’s ap­
plication to list the bonds is printed in which the balance
sheet December 31, 1893, will be found. Fuller facts relating
t o the property and its finances were given in the C h r o n i c l e
in its issue of March 11, 1893.
International & Great Northern—Galveston Honston &
Henderson.—The Central Trust Company has filed a suit, as
trustee, in Houston, Tex., against the International & Great
Northern and the Galveston Houston & Henderson railroads,
to obtain a decree declaring the lease of the latter road to the
former invalid. The Missouri Kansas & Texas owns a large
majority of the stock of the Henderson road and by this suit
seeks to secure equal traffic rights over it with the Interna­
tional. A receiver is also asked for.

N orthern Pacific.—The report of earnings and expenses to
December 81, just submitted by the receivers, is in a very satis­
factory form. ” For December the gross earnings were 31.083,338 and net income from all sources $388,379, while all the
charges prior to second mortgage interest were for th at m onth
$490,525, and the rem aining fixed charges $475,751. For the
period from Aug. 16 to Dec, 31 there is a halance of in­
come over and above the charges paid of 81,350,915, while the
charges unpaid were for the same tim e $2,180,188. The bal­
ance of income as above was applied to floating debt in the
shape of claims for labor and m aterial which the Court di­
rected to be paid prior to paym ent of mortgage interest.
The am ount of these preferred claims was about 4)4 mill­
ions, to meet which there were assets of about SJq millions,
which w ith the subsequent earnings have reduced the
unsettled claims, it is stated, to something less th a n
$400,000.
The receivers’ certificates issued last September will come
due in April, and it is understood will be extended for another
twelve months There were $5,000,000 authorized, but it has
only been necessary to issue $1,962,000.
For the term of the receivership, from Aug, 16 to Dec, 31,
1893, the full statem ent is as follows:

cates on the Stock Exchange and steps are being taken to se­
cure a prompt sale of the bonds pledged as collateral. The
time for depositing the bonds has been extended to March 27.
Bonds depo-ited after that date will be subject to a penalty of
two per cent.

—The Chrome Steel Works of Brooklyn, N. Y., whose prod­
uct is the well-known chrome c ist steel, have kept their works
running full time during the past year, despite the genera)
trade dulness, a fact which speaks well for the high favor
which this material has obtained in this country. Chrome
steel is very hard, tough and dense, and is especially adapted
for the manufacture of such castings as gear, wheels, pinions,
hammer dies, etc., for general machine construction. A com­
bination welded chrome steel and iron 5-ply plate has been
used for years past in the construction of safes and vaults
which are said to be absolutely burglar-proof, for no tool can
cut, drill or saw them. They are composed of alternate lay­
ers of chrome atee'l and iron, welded together.

Evidences of an improving tendency in general trade are
noticeable. Investments, however, are based principally
upon urgent necessities, operators still feeling unwilling to
assume an average line of obligations. Some revival of rnanu
faeturing industries is reported, but rarely upon full time.
Mild weather early in the week has been followed by a sharp
drop in th e temperature accompanied by considerable snow
in the West and Northwest, and latest inform ation a t hand
creates apprehension of damage to winter wheat in those lo­
calities. Spring farm work, which had previously been, for­
ward, will receive a check in Northern sections through re­
appearance of w inter weather. There is good export move­
ment in grain but principally of deliveries falling due on con­
tract, current demand from abroad proving slow and in­
different. Foreign orders for flour are principally of routine
character. Other staple products, such as eoirse grains and
feed, wool, cotton and metals, sell slowly w ithout gain in
value. The greater portion of this week’s review closes with
Thursday's markets, in consequence of adjournm ent of E x­
changes over flood Friday.
Lard on the spot baa been firmer and at the improvement
the demand has been more active, closing firm at 61jC. for
prime City, 710c. for prime Western and 7 55c. for refined for
the Continent. The speculation in lard for future delivery at
tills m arket has teen extremely slow, but prices have made a
small advance, in response to stronger advices from the
W est, where packers have been buying to cover “ short”
sales, stimulated by a decrease in the receipts of swine at
prim ary points, closing steady.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
has been moderate and unimportant. The Exchange having
last week decided to adjourn for Easter holidays from
Thursday evening 22d until Monday 26th inst., a large pro­
portion of the dealing has been simply liquidation in prepara­
tion for that event. Fluctuations in consequence were com­
paratively moderate and both the “long” and “short” interests
are reduced. The general local feeling over the situation is
perplexed by the continued indifference of American con­
sumers, which appears to be an offset for the gradual diminu­
tion of crop movement. The proposition to tax trading in
options also seriously curtails speculative dealing. On Satur­
day the market, although somewhat irregular on the whole,
held firm and closed a fraction higher. Monday opened with
some showing of strength, but no new demand de­
veloped, and the offerings from the South proving: full,
there w as an easing off before the close, and the same feeling
was still noticeatile on Tuesday morning, in consequence of
disappointment regarding Liverpool: but later in the day the
tone became firmer. Wednesday developed quite a firm
market in consequence of covering on quite a line of short
engagements and some manipulation by the bulls. Oa Thurs­
day, however, the tone was weaker again, and after several
small fluctuations there was a five points loss,the market closing
barely steady on an adjournment to Monday morning, the26th.
Cotton on the spot sold a trifle more freely and made frac­
tional advance, closing at 7 9-16c. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 345.300
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
1,522 bales, including — for export, 714 for consumption.
708 for speculation and 100 on contract. The following are
the official quotations for each day of the past week—
March 17 to March 23.
Kates on and off middling, as established Nov. 22 by the
Revision Committee, at which grades other than middling
may be delivered on contract:

- 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.
Toe monthly movements since September 1, 1893, and in
previous years, have been as follows:

A considerable portion of the Sea Island cotton shipped to
foreign ports goes via New York, and some small am ounts via
Boston and Baltimore. Instead of including this cotton for
t h e w e e k in which it leaves the Southern outporta, we follow
the same plan as in our regular table of including it when
actually exported from New York, & c. The details of the
shipments of Sea Island cotton for the week will be found

March 28, 1894,
To-day beins Good Friday, this review ends w ith Thursday
night.
The m arket for w heat flour during the week under review
has been very small. Buyers have continued very indifferent
and lowered their bids in most cases about 10c. per barrel,
but as holders have not been disposed to g ran t concewions,
the am ount of business that has been accomplished has been
atnall. Bye flour baa sold slowly, but values have held
steady. The season for buckwheat flour ia over. Corn meal
has been fairly active for the better grades at full prices, in

consequence of an advance in corn.
Immediately after our last there was a further break in
the m arket for w heat future*, due to a large increase in the
am ount on passage for Europe and another disappointing de­
crease in the visible supply ; but yesterday there was a slight
rally on buying by a few shorts to cover contracts, stim ulated
by reports of severe w eather a t the West. The spot m arket
was dull un til yesterday, when there was a moderate inquiry
from exporters. The sales* included No. 2 red w inter at l|e»
over May f.o.b. from store and No, 1 Northern at about -If,!*,
over May in store. To-day the market was a trifle stronger
during early ’Change on continued reports of cold w eather at
th.* West, hut later realizing sales by scalpers caused a decline. The spot m arket was moderately active, exporters
being limited buyers. The transactions included No. 2 red
winter a t % f ^ c . under May f.o.b. from store and %t<&‘40 .
over May f.o.b, a flo a t; also No. 2 hard w inter at t£c. under
May f.a b . from store ; No. 1 Northern at J p j ’c. in store and
No. 1 hard M aoiteba at 9 ',c . over May f.o.b. afloat.

The market for Indian corn futures was inclined to lx« weak
during the early part of the week, hut subsequently a squeeze
in March contracts caused an advance in th a t month, and
other deliveries made a slight improvement in sympathy. A
reduction in the crop movement also helped to strengthen
values. Supplies have been scarce in the spot market, and
owing to the squeeze in March contracts prices have advanced.
The sales yesterday included No. 2 mixed at Wo. delivered
and steamer mixed at 44c. in elevator. To-day the market
was higher for March contracts but other months were un­
changed. The spot m arket was firmer but quiet. The sales
included No. 2 mixed at 46'^c. delivered and IJfc. over May
f. o. b, afloat for delivery a t the end of April.

Domestic W oolens .—There is no change in the character
of business doing in this departm ent, but some falling off in
the num ber of orders placed for fall goods is noticeable.
Many buyers are through w ith their initial demand, and small
as th a t has been are w aiting developments before proceeding
further. In the business doing low and medium priced grades
of men’s w ear woolen and worsted goods are most prom inent
again, grades from $1 25 per yard down having the prefer­
ence over lines a t higher value th an th a t lim it. High-priced
fancies still neglected. Satinets and cotton-warp cassimeres
continue inactive and irregular. Small sales only are re­
ported in overcoatings. A somewhat better request is reported
for spring cloakings. Staple and fancy woolen and worsted
dress goods in desirable lines are in contined request and small
supply and dress goods generally are in a much better posi­
tion th an m en’s wear fabrics. Blankets dealt in a liitle more
freely but flannels and carpets still dull.
F oreign Dry G oods.—A smaller business is reported this
week, a slackening in the general dem and being noticeable.
Silks, woolen and worsted dress goods in choice varieties and
ribbons again show best results and stocks of desirable goods
are small. Fall business is still interfered w ith by tariff con­
tingencies. Linens are in fair request an d firm under foreign
advices.

August a, (Ja.—{State and City S upplement, page 167.)—
Proposals will be received by Mayor J . H. Alexander until
April 14 for 4JA per cent 30-year Augusta refunding bonds to
the am ount of $104,000. The securities will be dated May 1,
1894, and interest will be payable semi-annually on May 1 and
November 1. The issue is made for the purpose of redeeming
a like am ount of 7 per cent bonds which m ature May 1, 1804.
The original purpose for which the debt was incurred th a t is
now represented in p art by these bonds was the construction
of the Augusta Canal and W ater Power, now owned by the
city.
Augusta’s bonded debt is $1,750,800, and the city has no float­
ing debt. The assessed valuation of real estate in 1893 was
$16,460,000 ; personal property, $3,644,000: total, $22,118,000 ;
increase over previous year, $614,000. To this increase
may be added $400,000, the valuation of railroad
property which was included in the previous year’s digest
but under the present law is assessed in the office of
the State Comptroller General. This addition will show the
real increase in assessed valuation in 1893 over 1892 to be
$1,014,000. The tax rate for all purposes is, and has been for
some years, $12 50 per $1,000. The present population is esti­
mated at 38,000 to 40,000.
The city owns its w ater works, valued a t $600,000, the
Augusta Canal, valued at $1,500,000, and real estate w ithin
city limits valued at $200,000. The income from water rents
i.canal and water works) for the year 1833 was $94,000, and
this income increases yearly w ith the ordinary extensions of
service pipes and the inauguration of new w ater power plants
on the canal. It is probable that the interest charges on the
whole public debt will, in a few years, be equaled by the in­
come from these aoqj-ees.
Further particulars in regard to the sale o f the refunding
bond* will be found in an advertisement elsewhere in this De­
partment.

Boston'* Bonded Debt.—In the tabulated statem ent of the

occurred, which City Treasurer Turner wishes to correct:

cents, interest due in June and December, principal due June
1. 1901, making the total “ Highways Debt” $1,000,000.
Second—Under the head of “ Mystic W ater Bonds,” those
apecifh-d aa being payable after April 1, 1894, to the
am ount of $360,000, should iiave been om itted, as they were
all canceled, being held by the Sinking Fund Commissioners.
This leaves only $103,000 to be paid April 1, 1801, and the
Sinking Fund has sufficient money for that purpose.
Third—Under the head of “Suffolk County Miscellaneous
Bonds” the am ount should be $01,000 instead of $59,000, due
Jan. 1, m
The recapitulation of the total debt outstanding i* correc t as
given.
B o n d P r o p o s a l s a n d N e g o t i a t i o n * , —We have

-

seived through the week the following notice* of t ond»
recently negotiated and bonds offered and to be offered for

■ale.
A drian, M ia s.—On March 20. $13,000 of 8 per cent 20-year
Water-works bonds were awarded to Lucius A . Trowbridge of
; Chicago. III., for a total premium of $332. The securities will
be dated May 1, ISOL
The total debt of the village, Including this issue, is $30,000.
'Ksaseeeaed valuation in 1883 was $330,980 ; actual value (es‘ixnatedi $1,000,000. The estimated population is 1,100.

6 per cent Baltimore water bonds to the am ount of $268,000
and the 5 per cents to the am ount of $8,7.i7,000, all due Ju ly
1, i»>4, will bo redeemed on that date; but no refunding
bond* will be burned. The city's sinking fund on January 1,
1894, amounted to $6,082,672.
B a r n (wiille, Ohio.—Messrs, Spitzer & Co., of Toledo, have
rejected the $14,263 of BuracsviUe assessment bonds, which
were awarded to them last month on their bid of par, accrued
interest and a premium of $887. The loan has since been sold
to Season good & Mayer, of Cincinnati, who offered a premium
of $585 73. A higher bid waa made by W. J . Hayes & Sons
of Cleveland, but this was not considered, as it provided for
the deli very of the bonds in instalment*. The securities will
bear interest at the rate of 6 tier cent, will be payable semi­
annually at the office of the Village Treasurer, and $'.*65 of
the principal will m ature February 12, 1895, and $700 yearly
thereafter until February 12, 1914.
In commenting on the refusal of the Toledo firm to accept
the issue, the Barnesvilie Republican says : “ Spitzer & Co.’s
attorneys give two reasons why the bonds should be * turned
down
1. The issue is for a larger am ount than the price
paid to the contractors for the paving. 2. The Mayor and
Clerk have power to reduce the am ount of the bonds in case
any property owners pay their assessment in advance. So far
aa the first reason is concerned the assessing ordinance, a copy
of which was furnished Messrs. Spitzer & Co., plainly shows
that the balance was paid for surveying, printers’ fees and
other e x c u se s incident to the W est Main street improvement.
The second reason is a mere chimera, as several issues of our
bonds, issued with the same provision, h are been sold and
pronounced legal.”
Brockton, M ass —{S t a t e and C it y Supplement , page
33.)—Four per eeut 30-year water bonds to the am ount of
862.000, dated December 15,1893, have been sold to Messrs.
