THE

C H R O N IC L E .

THE F I HA NCIA L S IT U A T I OX.
The current week being the last week of this ses­
sion of Congress, the prospect for the important bills
remaining to be disposed of has attracted close atten­
tion.
There always is congestion in legislation
the closing fortnight of the short session. Usually
it is caused by and relates to the appropriation bills
alone; but this year other measures as well have been
fighting for position. Such a state of affairs affords op ­
portunity of putting through the forms of legislation
without proper consideration any measure of doubtful
character which has been turned down during the
session. There are several of these; conspicuous
among them is the Nicaragua Canal bill, which calls
for large expenditures and has been very persistently
pushed ; as the state of the Treasury is no longer
plethoric and cannot respond to the requirements of
such an enterprise, more or less anxiety has attached
to the outcome in conservative circles.
That is
natural; any conditions which serve to raise a
question as to the sufficiency of the Treasury
balance and its future status necessarily lead to
caution and to a more reserved attitude among inves­
tors and speculators. It has so happened that the
outcome of the session’ s legislation has been uncer­
tain all the week; that is true not only with reference
to the amount of the appropriations and the ability of
the Treasury to meet them, but likewise as to whether
the results would make an extra session necessary,
and if called as to the character of the legislation that
might come before it.
These matters have no doubt helped in some de­
gree this week to change the tone and the heretofore
hopeful spirit in Wall Street. Another circumstance
affecting our stock market adversely, and which we
referred to last week, is the unsettled state of affairs
in the Philippine Islands. So long as the appearances
there encourage the idea of a lengthy contest, the
struggle cannot be other than a source of sensi­
tiveness. It is not only the expense in lives and
money it entails which confronts us, it is more
than that, it is the possibility of other complica­
tions growing out of a state of war which is
most troublesome. The threatening nature of this
phase of the situation has found illustration within
the last few days. We refer to the rumor which was
set afloat on Tuesday to the effect that the American
fleet at Manila had sunk a German war vessel. The
situation of the contest about Manila and the atti­
tude of the public mind with relation to it were
just in tune for readily accepting such an inci­
dent as the possible outcome at any moment.
Of course the effect of the Teport was immediate and
substantial on the prices of securities; it was pro­
longed, t o o ; in part because it is very easy to excite
alarm, but not by any means so easy to allay it,
especially when the incident is so in keeping with
a natural development.
It is a highly satisfac­
tory circumstance that, according to later reports,
our relations with Germany have assumed a much
more amicable appearance.
There is still another disclosure of the week which
has not rtceived a favorable interpretation, although
when correctly viewed it appears to be an encourag­
ing rather than a discouraging feature. We refer to
the Government’s monthly figures of receipts and dis­
bursements. Our usual compilation for the eight

[VOL, LXVIII.

months of the fiscal year will be found on page 411
to-day, with the corresponding returns for the same
months of the previous year for comparison. It will
be noticed that the total Government income for
P'ebruary is $37,979,000, against $41,473,000 for Jan­
uary and $41,405,000 for December. As those fig­
ures stand, therefore, there appears to be a decrease
in the receipts of nearly 3| million dollars in Feb­
ruary as compared wuh both January and December.
At first sight such results are far from promising.
But those totals do not disclose the actual situation.
That can he determined only by comparing the daily
averages; it should he remembered that February has
but 28 days, whereas the previous two months each
has 31 days. Looked at, then, in the only lucid way
open to us the daily average of the Government in­
come for the whole eight months of this fiscal year
has been $1,339,100, whereas the February average
was in excess of that, or $1,356,400.
That is
not a depressing circumstance. Again the daily
average in January was $1,337,800 and Dec­
ember was $1,335,600.
Consequently February
really shows better results than either December or
January. There is still another comparison which is
interesting. The daily average receipts for the eight
months ending with February 1899 was, as already
stated, $1,339,100; for the same months of the pre­
vious year, 1897-98, it was only $889,300, which shows
an increase each day of $449,800. If we multiply
that increase by the days of the year, we have an
income in 1898-99 $163,727,200 larger than the
income of the previous year.
Of course until Con­
gress finishes its work and the appropriations can be
summarized, nobalance can he struck. But the fore­
going indicates an expansion of the revenue beyond
former estimates, with the increases extended down
to the latest month. That is to say, measured by
the daily payments February represents the largest
movement of the whole year, leaving out of the ac­
count July 1898, which being the first month under
the new law was for well-known reasons exceptional.
Certamly there is nothing discouraging in such results.
Nevertheless, taking the situation detailed above as
a whole, no doubt a state of affairs is indicated likely
to be from time to time in some degree unsettling
to stock values, especially those values that have been
raised to a level which represents dividends hoped fo r
but not yet declared.
A tell-tale fact though as to
the general situation is, that while stocks have de­
clined the best class of bonds have held on to their
prices well, and have met with a steady demand.
Furthermore, to-day the most noteworthy feature in
the general industrial situation is how uninterrupted
the evidences of prosperity remain.
There isno weak spot anywhere in mercantile or manufactur­
ing affairs to threaten enterprise with collapse.
A special sign of vigor and health this week is the
movement to restore wages. It has been in progress
in several departments, but the most noteworthy pro­
ceeding has been among the cotton factories. This
movement started, we believe, at FallBiver, extendednext, we think, to New Bedford, and has also
extended
or is about to- extend to
Provi­
dence, Man Lester, etc. The notices posted fix
upon - April 3rd as the date when the old
wages paid prior to January 1898 will again
be in force. The completeness of the change
this movement indicates is best understood when one

Money has been more active this week, not only

majority loaned at 3 per cent. There is a better
inquiry for time loans and especially for those
which will mature before the middle of the year, bor­
rowers assuming that money will be more plentiful
then. Contracts maturing daring and after August
are also in good request. In all cases where indus
trial stocks are offered as mixtures with better grades
o t collateral there is close scrutiny, and rates higher
than the under-mentioned are demanded. Quotations
for loans on good mixed Stock Exchange security are
31 per cent for sixty days and 3£@4 per cent for ninety
days to six months. The offerings of commercial
paper are more liberal and there is a very good assort­
ment of names from which selections can be made.
The demand for the best names is good, though some
of the city buyers among the banks are out of the
market for paper, finding a fair inquiry from their
customers for discounts. Bates are 3 i@ 3 f per cent for
sixty to ninety-day endorsed bills receivable, 3£@4jr
per cent for prime and 4£@5£ per cent for good four
to six months’ single names. Bank officers report a
good inquiry from the interior, chiefly from the
'B est, for currency, but when the correspondents are
informed thsfc gold will be sent the offer is generally
declined, the request being for notes. The outward
movement of money has been somewhat lighter this
week than it was last week.
One political event of importance in Europe this
week has been the resignation of the Sagasta ministry
in Spain, duo to the narrow majority in the Spanish
Senate on the measure to cede the Philippine Islands.
Another, and the chiefly important, event was the
official announcement that the German warship
Kaiserin Augusta had been withdrawn from Manila

don the Bank of England lost £320,174 bullion during
the week, and held [£33,742,677 at the close of the
week. Our correspondent further advises us that the
loss waB due to the export of £200,000 to the Cape, to
shipments of £224,000 net to the interior of Great
Britain, and to the import of £104,000, of which

[VOL. 1.XVIII,

The range for nominal rates for exchange was from
4 84£ to 4 85 for sixty-day and from 4 86£ to 4 87 for
s'ght during the entire week, and the majority of the
drawers posted the higher figures until Friday. Rates
for actual business opened on Monday unchanged, com­
pared with those at the close on Friday of last week,
at 4 84£@4 844 for long, 4 861@4 86f for short and
4 87@4 784 for cable transfers. The market was dull
and steady. On the following day the tone was easy,
though rates were not quotably lower, but on Wednes­
day, for reasons stated above, rates for short and for
cables yielded one-quarter of a cent, to 4 864@4 864
for the former and to 4 86f@ 4 87 for the latter,
while rates f or long sterling remained unchanged.
On Thursday the market was weak at a decline in
rates for actual business of one-quarter of a cent all
around, to 4 84@4 844 for long, 4 86@4 864 for short
and 4 864@4 86f for cables. The tone was again
weak on Friday at a decline of one quarter of a cent
for long and half a cent for short and cables.
The following shows daily posted rates for exchange
by some of the leading drawers.

THE CHRONLCLE.

political purposes. But this will always happen when
a public question is under discussion.
The salient point is that the people hare insisted on
regarding a'l such matters as public questions. They
hare plainly shown their impatience of evasions and
circumlocutions, and have at no time accepted as final
the dictum of the public officer at the head of the de­
partment. Their attitude has obviously been that of
aconstituency which regai-ds the army and the navy as
its own; administered, it is true, by duly accredited
agents—civil, naval and military—but nevertheless
ultimately under the people's control. The public, tak­
ing this view of the matter, has insisted a3 a right on
knowing exactly what was done in the matter of pro­
visioning the army and what were the real facts of
the early naval manceuvres.
We think that a little reflection will show this at­
titude to be both exceptional and reassuring. It is
eertainlv exceptional, for in no State of Continental
Europe is any such view of the position of the army
and navy recognized in the least. The case of the
French Army will naturally occur to the reader's
mind. During the unfortunate dispute which of late
has repeatedly thrown French politics into chaos, the
real question at issue, from first to last, has been
whether the private citizen had or had not any busi­
ness to criticize or meddle with the army. A re­
sponsible section of the public believed that a great
wrong had been done by a military court, and de­
manded investigation. The army authorities replied
that the court martial was their own affair; that peo­
ple criticising it were either agitators or busy bodies.
A private citizen published such personal accusations
against the army chiefs as forced them to call him into
a civil court for libel. But in the court the officers re­
fused to answer questions regarding the court martial,
though such questions were germane to the case, and
indeed indispensable as evidence. In this refusal
they were upheld by the judge, and for it they were
cheered by the populace. Their bearing throughout
the trial was that of dignitaries not subject to the
tribunal before which they were appearing. The
Ministry of War from the beginning of the
episode was occupied by statesmen who publicly
declared, as their conception of their office, that they
were the personal representatives of the army. One
of these ministers, even in the Chamber of
Deputies, announced last October that his office was
that of “ guardian of the army's honor,” and resigned
hia post became in bis judgment criticism of the
army generals was an assault upon that honor. Even
so distinguished a statesman a# M. de Freycinet,
called to the Ministry of War with the Dupuy
Cabinet, publicly spoke of the army as a power
which must be approached both delicately and defer­
entially. But for the sadden discovery last summer
that evidence appealed to by the military clique was
an acknowledged forgery, it is doubtful whether
even the present possibilities of revision ccnld now
exist.
The whole extraordinary story ot the Dreyfus case,
in short, comes down in the end to the refusal of the
army staff to confess itself subject to control or criti­
cism from the people. But it is not necessary to limit
observation to France ; the conception of the army
as an institution outside of legitimate public criti
cism is more or less general to all the Continental
States. Both politically and socially, the army i3 a
powerful force in (terroany, where at one time, not

401

very long ago, it was sufficient to say that a public
man was one of the “ Junker ” element to define his
position on the majority of public questions. We are
confident that the discussion of the conduct of the
army departments which is still going forward in
the United States would he impossible in these or
any other first-rate power of Continental Europe—
unless, indeed, as the sequel to complete disaster in
the field. The action of the American people is
much more noteworthy in that it follows a brilliantly
successful war, something which could not be said
even of the Crimean investigations, which otherwise
bear much resemblance in their nature and origin to
the Court of Inquiry now sitting at Washington.
For onr own part, we do not regard this attitude of
the American public towards its army and navy ad­
ministration as anything but proper and encour­
aging. There have been times when public interfer­
ence has impaired the efficiency of these organizations.
The demand of the North for an immediate advance
on Kichmond in 1861, from which resulted the fiasco
of Bull Run, is the most familiar modern instance.
Perhaps the foolish Italian expedition into Abys­
sinia, a few years since, was a result of similar
pressure ffrom outside quarters.
But no inter­
ference of
this sort was witnessed
in the
Spanish war; on the contrary, public opinion
acquiesced willingly in the control of operations by
the Board of Strategy. If anything, press and people
were disposed to approve a slow and cautious cam­
paign. But the first signs of mismanagement in the
care of the troops roused immediate and outspoken
indignation. This was a case in which the public was
sure of its facts. It demanded that responsibility be
placed, and the demand was not in the slightest degree
relaxed by the War Department's assurance that, no­
body was to blame, or by the subsequent one-sided
report of the civil board of inquiry. The military court
now sitting was really called into existence neither by
the army nor by Congress nor by the Administra­
tion. It is extremely doubtful whether, without the
pressure of public opinion, either of these three agen­
cies would have convoked this board of experts. \re
\
are neither able to anticipate the findings of the court
nor desirous of doing go; but the evidence already
submitted is enough to prove that the public was
right in its demand. It has forced the authorities to
hear and consider evidence which had been neglected,
and which, under the Continental conception of army
privilege, would probably have been suppressed.
Precisely the same power ha3 been exercised, and
to our mind in a very proper way, in the matter of
Admiral Schley's conduct before and during the
blockade of Santiago. We do not believe that the
people at large have yet made up their minds on the
merits of this controversy. But they are convinced,
on perfectly reasonable grounds, that there are two
sides to the question, and they have not accepted the
Department's review of the case as final. This cer­
tainly implies no disrespect to the Secretary or the
Department.
It is perfectly consistent with the
theory that the navy, like the army, is the servant of
the American people, and that in a disputed matter
the people have the right to demand a formal and pub­
lic review of the circumstances.
We do not suppose that this attitude of the people
towards the army or navy arises alone, or even chiefly,
from the traditions of Anglo-Saxon government, to
which a powerful and independent standing army hag

for two and a-half centuries been an objeot of aver­
sion. That this influence has not been wholly lack­
ing may be judged from the speeches on the Army
Reorganization Bill in Congress, where the opposi­
tion, though apparently a political minority, has
forced a compromise in the original plan of increase.
There is not, in these days, any serious danger of the
subversion of a sound government by the army.
Even France is proving this, and if it could not hap­
pen in France it is quite inconceivable in the United
States. The truth is that the system of compulsory
service on the Continent and the system of volunteer
service in Great Britain and the United States have,
oddly enough, had a similar result of so far identify­
ing the army with the people that the army, as a
■whole, is no longer capable of becoming the irrespon­
sible engine which it was in the hands of Cromwell,
or Frederick, or even Napoleon.
But the danger that once threatened from the rank
and file has in a measure been transferred to the staff
and command. The power and patronage involved in
the control of interests so large have opened up
opportunities which can easily he misused, and which,
in modern politics, will almost certainly be misused
if the army is to be separated, as it has been in
France, from the indirect control of the people. A
century or more ago it was rightly believed that
power over the public purse, and hence over the
army’s means of life, was enough to guard the inter­
ests of the people. Now-a-days, with the European
theory that the larger the expenditure on armament
in time of peace the more certain will be the main­
tenance of peace, the question of control of the
exchequer has become a matter of less and less im­
portance.
But in proportion as the war depart­
ments have expanded as branches of government ex­
penditure, the more essential it has become that
the people should see to it that the departments
are managed in the interests of efficiency and
proper organization.
In
demanding a strict
account of the conduct of such departments of gov­
ernment, and in pressing for a satisfactory explana­
tion of whatever seems to have gone amiss, the Amer­
ican public has taken the right road. If the army re­
organization bill which passed Congress last Wednes­
day had gone further than it did, and so readjusted
the duties of staff and department that responsibility
for all shortcomings could be fixed at once, it would
have marked another useful step in the same direction.

H O W ECONOMIES H A V E B E E N ACH IEVED
IN IR O N AND STEEL PRODUCTION.
The iron and steel trades just now are in a state of
great activity, and this week there have been further
advances in prices. These advances, according to
the “ Iron A ge,” bring quotations up to a figure where
further export orders will be checked. This, if it
should prove true, would bean important factor in the
situation, since the export tonnage of all kinds of
iron and steel now aggregates about 900,000 tons a
year.
The check will not appear in the export
statistics for some time, since shipments will con­
tinue for several months on orders taken ahead when
prices were still low.
\ hatever the effect, the interruption to the export
\
business it is certain will last only so long as the present
exceptional conditions and phenomenal demand con­
tinue. We gained our hold on the foreign markets

[V ol . LXV1II.

because in addition to the natural advantages which
we possess we have greatly cheapened and economized
methods of production in recent years, so that in a
normal state of things we should have no difficulty in
competing with other producing countries in outside
markets. The subject of economies in production is
always an interesting one and particularly now, and
hence we are moved to refer to some statistics that
have latfly appeared showing the extent to which the
cheapening process has been carried and the success
attained in every branch and department of the ser­
vice.
Under the title of “ A Decade of Progress in Re­
ducing Costs,” Mr. C. Kirchhoff, the editor of the
“ Iron Age,” recently read an address as President
before the American Institute of Mining Engineers,
and this address is now reprinted. Mr. Kirchhoff is
well qualified to deal with the subject, and he has
brought together some really valuable and useful
figures bearing on his theme. He well says that the
final measure of success is the cost sheet on the
one hand and the expansion of markets on the other.
Furthermore, that every improvement represents an
advance from which there is no receding. It means
that ground has been conquered which will never be
surrendered.
He points out that from time to
time there are epoch-making discoveries which
advance the art at a bound, but in the aggregate
greater progress is made in the direction of reducing
costs by minor improvements in practice and equip­
ment.
Many difficulties are encountered in collecting reli­
able statistics of the kind desired because manufac­
turers are naturally reluctant to lay bare the records
of their books. Mr. Kirchhoff presents first a table to
show the fluctuations in the cost of making pig iron
at a large furnace plant in the South. The results
are given for each of the last ten years. The figures
are stated in percentages of those for 1889, the ini­
tial year—that is, in every case 1889 stands at 100 and
the deviations from that year’s results are expressed
in ratios of 100. It appears in the first place from the
statement that the product of this furnace per day in
1898 was 167’7 per cent of that in 1889—that is, was
67-7 per cent greater than in the earlier year. Coke
cost only 64'1 per cent of what it did in 1889, and at
the same time the coke consumption per ton of iron
was only 91-2 per cent of what it had been, thus
effecting a double saving. The ore cost was but 79
per cent of that in 1889, the labor cost but 51-9
per cent, and the limestone cost but 40-3 per cent.
The cost of “ arbitrages,” as it happens (covering re­
lining charge, general office expenses, taxes and in­
surance) increased, and was 113-3 per cent of that in
1889. But cost of sundries on the other hand fell to
but 33’4 per cent of the 1889 charge. Total cost was
03-4 per cent of that in the earlier year. It is a note­
worthy circumstance that even this reduction failed
to keep pace with the decline in quotations, the sell­
ing price in 1898 being only 61-2 per cent of that in
1889. The result was that the average net profit per
unit in the latest vear was but 47‘9 per cent of that
in the earliest year.
These series of figures in this case are considered
particularly interesting because the cost of freights on
assembling materials, which is the dominating factor
in the production of pig iron in other sections, is
relatively, of little importance to the Southern pro­
ducers. As a consequence the record shows strik-

The above indicates that Northern spinners had up
to Feb. 28 taken 1,705,480 bales, a decrease from the
corresponding period of 1897-98 of 14,756 bales and
an excess over the same time of 1896-97 of 439,246
bales.
AMOUNT OF CROP NOW IN SIGHT.
In the foregoing we have the number of bales which
has already been marketed this year and the two
previous seasons. An additional fact of interest is the
total of the crop which was in sight on March 1
compared with previous years. We reach that point
by adding to the above the stock remaining at that
date at the interior towns less stock held by them at
the beginning of the season. In this manner we find
the result for three years on March 1 to be as follows:

Street itallwuj Net Earnings.—The following table gives
the returns of S t r e e t railway gross and net earnings recoived
this week. In reporting these net earnings for the street rail­
ways, we adopt the same plan as that for the steam roads—
that is, we print eaoh week all the returns received that
■ veek but once a month (on the third or the fourth Saturday)
,
we bring together all the roads furnishing returns, and the
latest statement of this kind will be found in the C h r o n i c l e
o f February 25, 1899. The next will appear in the issue of
March 18, i899.

shares; also to amend the charter so that the number of di­
rectors shall be fifteen, and shall be so classified that the
terms of five directors will expire in each year; likewise to
amend the by-laws so that all directors elected after the year
1899 shall be elected for three years, etc. The three addi­
tional directors to be elected this year will be chosen by the
board, and will serve until the next annual meeting. The
total capital stock at present is $35,000,000 (including $14,000
,000 preferred); consequently the present propjsition is
to double the authorized issue.—V. 68, p. 377.

valuation and maintenance charges in proportion to wheelage —V. 67, p. 1355.
Baltimore & Ohio RR.—R a il s .— The recent purchase of
28,000 tons of 85-pound steel rail brings the total bought
since March 1, 1896, up to 115,300 tons, enough to re lay 870
miles of track. Of the new rail ordered eight thousand
tons are to be laid on the lines west of the O iio River. Much
of the rail that will be taken up is still good enough to be
re-laid on branches where traffic is not heavy. The south­
western division, between Parkersburg and St. Louis, will
have forty thousand tons of rail to lay this spring,—V. 63,
p. 378.

C o — L itig a tio n — R e - t r a n s f e r o f P r o p e r t y .— T h e contest over

the affairs of this company has reached an extremely active
stage. The Court at Butte last week held the old receiver­
ship valid, but granted Attorney Divis ten days in which to
produce proof in support of his allegations that the Heinze
suit is now being conducted in the interest of Thomas L.
Lawson for the purpose of turning the property over to the
proposed Copper Trust. A Butte despatch of Feb. 24 fur­
ther announces that the New York corporation has trans­
ferred the property back to the old Montana corporation.
It was the previous transfer to the New York company that
was the basis of the receivership suit, such transfer from a
local to a foreign corporatioa being permissible under the
old law only with the consent of every stockholder. Tuis
week, however, the Montana Legislature has passed over
the Governor’s veto a bill allowing transfers of this nature
upon the consent of owaers of two-thirds of the stock. The
Montana corporation, therefore, it is thought, will transfer
the property once more to the New York company and avoid
further trouble from the receivership —V. 68, p. 84.

The voting trust agreement provides that the trustees

the stock is selling for in the open market. The price at
whieb the Bnffalo & Lockport RR. Co. stock is taken is said
to he 50." W. Caryl Ely is stated to be actively engaged in
effecting the consolidation. Parties interested, however,
inform ns that it is too early to make a statement regard­
ing their plana. The Niagara Falls Power Co. will furnish
power to the lines as heretofore, but is not, we are assured,
directly interested in the enterprise of malting the properties.
The report that it was so interested arose from the fact that
those concerned held a meeting this week at the office of
Wm. B. Rankine, Treasurer of the Power Co. Apparently
the deal has not yet passed the option stage.—V. 67, p. 368.
Brooklyn Wharf Sc Warehouse.—Dividend Passed.—The
company has definitely' decided not to pay a dividend this
March on the first preferred stock. The first preferred stock
is $2,500,060, and 6 per cent was paid thereon in March 1896,
1897 and 1898. The failure to pay the dividend has given
rise to rumors of pending reorganization, which are not
officially confirmed.—V. 67. p. 954.

readjustment has been limited to March 23, after which date
deposits will be accepted, if at all. only upon such terms and
conditions as the bankers may impose. A majority of the
stock bus already been deposited.
At a meeting of the American holders of certificates of the
Central Trust Co. issued in exchange for stock, held on
Tuesday, a resolution wa3 unanimously adopted authorizing
the M York stockholders’ committee, consisting of August
ew
feluiont, John G. Carlisle and George Coppell, to conclude
an agreement and accept the plan of readjustment. A simi­
lar resolution was adopted by the foreign stockholders sev­
eral days ago in London. Holders of Central Trust Company
certificates are notified to exchange them on or before
March 23 for certificates of deposit issued under the plan of
readjustment.
Cash Payment Must be Made by A p ril li —The cash pay­
ment of |3 per share on shares of Central Pacific stock de­

New York, or at the offices of their agents in Europe.
Extension to be Completed.—President Huntington has
ordered the building of the fifty-mile gap between Surf and
Elwood, on the California Coast Line. Seven viaduct* and
two tunnels, each 8 0 feet long, are said to be necessary, but
0
by working night and day shifts it is estimated the work can
be finished in a year. This will give the company a coast

THE CHRONICLE.

Federal Steel Co.— First Dividend on Preferred.—The
company yesterday declared a quarterly dividend of 1% per
cent on Its preferred stock, payable April 5. Ex-Governor
Flower says: '‘ The dividend will be more than earned in the
three months, January to April. The common stock will
not receive any dividends until after the preferred has
earned its 6 per cent for the year and the managers believe
that they can earn 8 per cent on the preferred stock in five
months.”—V. 68, p. 283.
Florida Central A Peninsular RR.—Georgia A Alabama
Ry.—Seaboard A Roanoke RR.—Purchase.—The same in­
terests that now control the Seaboard Air Line and the
Georgia & Alabama Ry. have purchased a controlling in­
terest in the capital stock of the Florida Central & Penin­
sular RR. By the construction of a connecting link be­
tween the Florida Central at Columbia, S. C., and the
Seaboard Air Line system just over the border of North
Carolina, a distance of perhaps 85 miles, the three systems
would form a connected whole, embracing with the Rich­
mond Petersburg & Carolina line a total of about 2,475
miles of road, extending from Richmond on the north to
Savannah, Jacksonville and Tampa on the south, and to
Montgomery and Atlanta on the west.
The following statement was given out on Wednesday :
“ John L. Williams & Co. of Richmond, Va., and Middendorf, Oliver & Co. of Baltimore, for themselves and associ­
ates, have purchased of W. Bayard Cutting and R. Fulton
Cutting of New York a majority of the capital stock of the
Florida Central & Peninsular RR. The Messrs. Cutting have
secured for all other stockholders of the Florida Central the
privilege of selling their minority stock on terms giving
them full protection. It is understood that no changes will
be made immediately in the management of the company,
although it is believed that later on plans will be developed
looking to a closer union between the Florida Central &
Peninsular RR., the Georgia & Alabama RR. and the
Seaboard Air Line, all three of which are now owned and
controlled by the purchasers of the Florida Central & Penin
sular RR.”—V. 67, p. 1358; Y. 68, p. 879, 283.

ing, shall be expended and used primarily to substitute

railways of the company, and to provide new plant and
equipment, and for the enlargement and improvement of its
system, and all other requisite facilities, to the end that the
company may furnish the public a service of the greatest
possible efficiency, speed and comfort; that such improve­
ments be begun immediately, prosecuted with vigor, and
completed as soon as practicable, and that any surplus of
said funds not needed, in the opinion of the board, for
these purposes be used for any authorized corporate purpose.”

March 3, 1899.
Healthy conditions have continued, as a rule, to be noted
in the general mercantile world. Business has been reported
as good in nearly all lines of merchandise. The hardware
trade has been especially buoyant, and during the past week
numerous advances have been made in prices. The combi­
nation of trade interests has continued to be a feature of
the business situation. Weather conditions at the South
have continued favorable and progress has been reported in
the preparations for the new cotton crop. Prospects in the
winter-wheat belt have been reported as generally favorable,
although early in the week there was apprehension mani­
fested owing to unfavorable weather conditions. The
situation at Manila has not been changed in any important
particular. In a number of instances wages have been ad­
vanced, which reflects the era of business prosperity.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has been steadily
contracting. There has been considerable talk latterly to
the effect that the market is being manipulated, and this has
served to drive the outside speculative interest out of the

market. The near-by deliveries, some contend, are being
sustained for the purpose of attracting cotton here from the
1,224

South. The intention, it is claimed, is to accumulate a

im provem ent

in the conditions surrounding the

cotton goods industry has resulted in quite general action on
the part o f m anufacturers looking towards an increase in the

tu r e rs'A ssociation o f F all R iv tr , w hich controls alm ost all
the m ills in that city, agreed to advance the com pensation o f
the operatives

per cent on A p ril 8.

B y this action

w ages are fn lly restored to the scale in force prior to the cu tdown of 11 1-9 per cent m ade Jan. 8, 1898.
F ollow in g the lead o f the F all River m ill-ow n ers, m eetings
o f m anufacturers have also been held a t a num ber o f the
other large cotton m an u factu rin g centres, w ith the result
that at N ew Bedford, Taunton, Law rence, M anchester, Provi­
dence, and other points it was voted to return on A p ril 3 to
the scale of wages ruling prior to January 1, 1898.
