Until such conference can be had it may be well
for bondholders to consider whether the acceptance
of the offer of the Union PaclBc Railway Company

CLEARING HO USE RETURNS.
At a few
of the leading cities— Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Baltimore and New Orleans, for example and also at some of
the smaller towns, the reduction in the volume of clearings
—
during the week under review was due to the observance of
Good Friday as a holiday. Furthermore, although the day
was not strictly a holiday at New York, the closing of the
various exchanges, and the virtual suspension of business in
some branches of trade, caused a decided decline in Saturday's
exchanges, the total for that day being onl*r $87,655,341, while
the average for the other days of the week was $95,379,100. It
is therefore, we believe, safe to conclude that the falling off at
all points from this cause was about $75,000,000.
But this
does not account fully for the decline from the previous week's
figures; for after allowing for that amount, there still remains
a decrease of some $40,000,000, no doubt resulting from the
labor troubles and the check to trade which they are causing.
Contrasted with the corresponding week of 1885, the returns
make a favorable exhibit, the smaller percentage of gain than
last week recorded being due entirely to the holiday mentioned
above. In fact, comparison between a like number of days in
each year would give an increase of fully 24 per cent in the
whole country and over 11*5 per cent outside of New York.
The share transactions on the New York Stock Exchange
for the five days reach a total much below those for any similar
period since July last, and cover a market value of only

London, Saturday, April 17, 1888.
Judged both commercially and financially, the past week
has been entirely devoid of any striking event. The Stock
Exchange, which may be accepted as, to some extent at least,
the pulse of public opinion, has failed to give any indication
of activity. There, as in other quarters, a cautious feeling
has been apparent, a disinclination to discount the uncertain
future being pretty clearly pronounced. In spite of northeasterly winds, the weather, taken as a whole, has been favor-

ago it used to be asserted as a reproach that we were drinking
ourselves out of the national debt; but it is very clear that of
recent years we have been becoming much more sober as a

assertion that the spending power of the community is diminishing. In making his statement, the Chancellor of the

Eliminating political influences, there is no reason why
trade should not gradually assume a more cheerful aspect.
Money is cheap, credit is apparently sound, the agricultural
prospect is perhaps a shade brighter than it was, and all the
necessaries of life can be had on easy terms. But one important item is still required, and that is confldence. When will
confidence be restored, is a question asked with painful iteration in commercial circles just as frequently and almost as
gloomily as was the case a year ago, and notwithstanding the
more hopeful tone of American advices, it ifl quite as difficult
as it has been for the year past to hazard an opinion when a
permanent restoration will be effected.

The
railroads were purchased by the committee (or $800<
000, the securities for $250,000, rolling stock and steameia for
$70,000, real estate in Chicago for $100,000, and then the last
four items were again sold to the committee for a lump sum
of $425,000, making the total purchase $626,000.
The road will remain in the bands of the receivers for sometime, until the present claims are disposed of to the satisfaction of the Court. There are over $3,000,000 of receivers' certificates outstanding, wliich, together with the interest due or
nearly due on the underlying mortgage bonds, and the current liabilities, makes the floating debt about $8,000,000.
Wheeling & Lake Erie.— The Wheeling & Lake Erie road
was sold at Cleveland, on April 23, on a decree of foreclosure
by the United States Circuit Court in the suit of the
Farmers' Loan & Trust Company. There was only one bid
issued
—which was made by George S. Forrest, Melville C.
Day and Daniel E. Garrison, of this city, as trustees of the
Reorganization Committee.
The cash payment made was
$35,000, and the balance of the purchase money is not payable

Mr. Day said to a reporter :— " The Reorganization Committee includes all the first bondholders, representing
$2,550,000, except the holders of six bonds, whose residences
we learned only to-day. Our plan also allowed the old stockholders, second bondholders and general creditors to come in
by paying an assessment ranging from twenty-five to thirtyfive per cent, but very few of them have taken advantage of
it.
The road extends from Toledo to Brewerstown, where it
connects with the Panhandle road. I do not know when it
will be constructed on to Wheeling.
The Garrison family
probably controlled a majority of the first mortgage bonds.
Commodore Garrison also owned $2,500,000 of the second
bonds, and altogether the road cost him nearly $7,000,000.
For four of the old first bonds three will be issued under the
reorganization plan. The old bonds bore six per cent interest,
while the new ones wi'l be five per cent bonds. I do not
know how much stock will be issued. The first bondholders
will receive a certain amount, but this will have to be ar^
ranged hereafter. No change in the management of the proj^
erty is intended at present.

proposes to extend the debt over seventy years, payable in

Burdett's Official Intelligbnce for 1886 has just reached
us from London. This important manual is issued annually,
under the sanction of the Committee of the London Stock
Exchange, by its Secretary, Mr. Henry C. Burdett. It aims togive all requisite particulars concerning every security and
company of interest or importance known to the Stock markajs of the United Kingdom. The completeness and accuracy
of^this manual make it invaluable to all interested in foreign
securities.

Grand R.apids & Indiana.
—A
dispatch from Grand Ripids,
O. Hughart, President of this railroad, had
returned from New York, and announced that he had succeeded in placing $700,000 in bonds, the money to be used in
building the new road from Grand Rapids to Muskegon.
Kansas City Springfield & Memphis. This road, about a
year ago, was completed to Memphis, Tenn. a distance of 487
miles. It is now preparing to extend its line, under another
name, from Memphis to Birmingham, Ala., a distance of 330
miles, thereby making a line from Kansas City to Birmingham, 737 miles long.
" The proposition which the
The Boston papers report
Kansas City Springfield
Memphis Company will soon make
in the way of rights on the cjntemplated extension to Birmingham, Ala., will be a block comprising five shares of new
stock and a $1,000 thirty -year 5 per cent bond for $950 to each
holder of tea shares of the old stock. The new construction
is to comprise a bridge across the Mississippi River and 2-30
miles of new road."

Stock Exchange this week has caused
it
and the uncertainties in regard to strikes, railroad earngrowing crops, &c., are such as to keep the market
in a halting position until some of the doubtful elements are
removed.
The reports this week from two of the leading trunk lines
the Pennsylvania and the Erie for the month of March, are
again quite favorable, and they indicate that in spite of the
small tonnage of grain and provisions, the trunk lines are doing
materially better than last year, and the higher rates are giving
the roads a better net profit, even if the tonnage carried is
stocks,
ings, the
—
smaller.
On this basis there is reason to be hopeful about the
trunk lines, since their competition, it is supposed, has reached
a maximum for some years to come, and experience has proved
that they can earn fair dividends in those years when rates are
maintained.
At the West there seems to be the prospect of very active
railroad building, as the four great corporations occupying the
territory northwest of Chicago have each laid out plans which
involve the building of a large mileage of new road and the
outlay of a large amount of capital. The Atchison Topeka &
Santa Fe had already perfected its plans for heavy building,
and it is probably not too high an estimate to assume that these
five great companies will build 3,000 miles of branches, extensions and feeders in the next eighteen months. All this, too, is
by corporations abundantly solvent, and able to carry the new
roads for a few years, until they earn interest on their bonds
hence the building in this manner cannot lead to another crop
of defaults and foreclosures such as we have had in the past,
with disastrous effects to the holders of securities.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged at
per cent, and
to-day at 2@3 per cent. Prime commercial paper is quoted
at 3i@5 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a loss in specie of £60, 14.5, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 41 7-16, against 41 3-16 last week; the discount
rate remains unchanged at 2 per cent.
The Bank of Prance
gained 7,548,000 francs in gold and 3,388,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing House banks, in their statement of
April 34, showed a decrease in surplus reserve of $1,399,100,
the total surplus being $13,333,550, against $14,723,650 the
previous week.
The following table shows the changes from the previous
week and a comparison with the two preceding years in the
averages of the New York Clearing House banks.

Railroad bonds have been very dull most of the week, with a
more activity noticed in the later days. Prices have been
irregular and no decided tendency has prevailed in either direction for the general market. Some have improved while others
have given way a little. The only conspicuous activity has
been in Erie 3ds ex June '86 coupon, which were latterly sold
down quite sharply. Ches. & Ohio "B" oonds declined to 68

Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks. The stock market
was perfectly lifeless during the first three days of our week,
beginning with Saturday last. Business was restricted to a
few room traders and there was no disposition to operate on
either side of the market, and as a consequence
prices
remained practically unchanged. On Wednesday, however, a
bear movement was inaugurated, and it was rumored that a
bear pool had been organized.
However that may be, prices
gave way considerably under the adverse influence, and have
remained quite weak, though there has been no important
change in the general situation of affairs, and 'he decline can-
not be attributed to anything except the operations of the
bears, assisted by an indisposition to support prices on recount
of the uncertainty in regard to the continuance and possible
spread of labor troubles.

The President's report states that "the failure of the wheat
crop along the line, operated to diminish the earnings from
local freights $.53,918 and the tonnage 21,456 tons. There was,
however, a gain of 33,055 tons in coal and through freight,
leaving a net gain of 11,599 tons over last year: but the compensation per ton mile having decreased 2 217-1000 cents
received in 1884 to 1 991-1000 cents for 1885, this decline of
10-18 per cent in rates produced the loss of $35,871 in th«
yfar's earnings. In the passenger traffic there has besn a
1,351.090 decrease of 1-91 per cent in the numt)er of local passengers
66-48 carried and of 6-70 per cent in through passengers, a total
decrease of 2-39 per cent for the year. There has also been a
1835
reduction of 14-43 |)er cent in the average length of the local

1,851,990 haul, and to this fact is attributable a considerable share of

The annual report of President G. B. Roberts says: " The
semi-annual instalments to the sinking fund were regularly
paid. The direct contributions to this fund have been $243,750, which, together with the increment thereof, $315,63.5, is
invested in $469,700 mortgage bonds at par of your company
and of companies which are operated under lease or contract.
" The entire issue of the stock and bonds of the Ocean City
Railroad Company being held by your company, it was
deemed expedient by your board to consolidate and merge
that company into the West Jersey Railroad Company, and
an agreement for such merger was ratified by the stockholders on the 27th of August last.
" The capital stock of the company was increased seventeen shares, one share under the agreement of merger of
Ocean City Railroad Company and sixteen shares by the conversion of dividend scrip. The amount of this scrip now out*
*
standing is $199 50."
" Your holding of the capital stock of the West Jersey &
Atlantic Railroad Company now amounts to 4,468 shares,
being an increase of 793 shares. The earnings of that company have been suflScient to meet its fixed charges and to pay
a dividend of five (5) per cent upon its capital stock," * *
" The traffic on all sea-shore lines shows a decrease during
the year, owing to the continued depression in the manufacturing interests of the large cities."

and applicable to the bonded interest, it is all that ought to
be paid, but should the interest on ordinary promissory notes
of the company be paid in full, while the interest on its bonds
IS only paid in part?
In his annual report, Mr, C. P. Huntington distinctly advocates the principle that floating debt should take precedence
of bonds, and suggests that the bondholders should assess
themselves to pay off the floating debts, and should also reduce
the rate of interest on their bonds. His words were as follows:
"The interest on the floating debt of the company represents
about 1 per cent of the par value of the series "B" bonds,
and it would, without doubt, be advisable for the holders of
that class of bonds to provide for the liquidation of the floating debt, and at the same time reduce the rate of interest on
their securities by bringing the interest liabilities within the
earning power of the road."

that these interests will hardly come into it. It appears to be
drawn mainly in the interest of the floatmg debt holders (the
Missouri PaciHc RaUroad), who are using the consolidated
bondholders for the purpose of getting control of the newcompany at the least possible cost.
The large claim of the Missouri Pacific against the Texas &

Present stockholders are called on to pay an assessment of
two-thirds the full value of their holdings, by surrendering
two shares out of three, and after this assessment there is
no cash in the treasury for improvements, and they have a
mortgage debt of $40,000,000 ahead of them
The effect of this plan would be to assess present stockholders the enormous assessment of 66-3 per cent on their holdings, and at the same time the Missouri Pacific would take
about $9,000,000 of the new stock for its claim, leaving the
necessity of purchasing only a small amount to obtain a clear

plan to squeeze out stockholders and get possession of a company has seldom been proposed, and it would be far cheaper
for stockholders to pay a cash assessment of 10 per cent on
their presentholdiogs, and thus put over $3,000,000 in the
treasury, than to be practically wiped out by this plan proposed in the Gould interest.
It is quite right that the old consolidated mortgage bondholders should be fully protected and get both principal and
interest, and if they consented to reduce their future rate of
interest to 5 per cent, this would be a reasonable concession on
their part but a preferred stock for the floating debt at its
par value would be sufficient for that class of indebtedness.
As an outline of what mieht be a fair and simple plan of
reorganization, the following is suggested
1. Pay all interest due to the holders of the consolidated
bonds, leave the principal unchanged, and stamp future
coupons at 5 per cent.

Cotton for future delivery at thi.s market for the week
under review has been fairly active, but the course of prices
has been variable and somewhat irregular. The resumption
of business on Monday following the adjournment from the
previous Thursday was rather sluggish, but the marked
reduction of stocks at interior towns, the smaller visible supply in the markets of the world and the indications that there
would be no pressure from deliveries on May contracts, g avo
an upward turn to values which at the close amounted to 4 Q(J
points.
feature of the day was the free extension of co ntracts for May to summer or autumn months. On Tueeda y
contracts for Apri and May showed more strength than th e
later deliveries, but on Wednesday there was a general decline,
under reports of better weather at the South, although Liverpool was dearer for spot cotton and the receipts at the ports
were small. Yesterday a better report from Liverpool caused
a partial recovery of Wednesday's decline. To-dav Liverpool
advices were again better, and this market developed much
strength, though only moderately active, and the close was
quiet, the stocks at interior towns not having decreased as
much as was expecte<'. Cotton on the spot has met with a
more general demand, though not active.
Prices were
unchanged until yesterday, when an advance of l-16c. was
quoted.

eleven inches above the highest water mark but stationary.

in spots has been almost wholly lost in the past day or two,

purchases were chiefly of a hand-to-mouth character, but so
numerous that fair aggregate sales Of seasonable goods were
made by manufacturers' agents and importers. The jobbing
trade of this city has shown a moderate degree of animation,
but there was some irregularity in the demand by retailers,
patterned fabrics having been more freely taken than staple
goods. The main features of the market remain unchanged.
Nearly all domestic fabrics are steadily held in first hands,
because stocks are not as a rule redundant, and staple
imported goods are generally steady for the same reason.
There is unquestionably a hopeful feeling in the trade, though
no little uneasiness is expressed regarding the differences
existing between labor and capital, and the definite settlement
of these matters would doubtless lead to a more active
business than has been witnessed of late.

From PhUadtlphia Inquirer^ Jan, 30, 1884.
The new plan of the Manhattan Life Incurance
Company continues to meet the popular Javor. It
combines the prutectire feature of life insurance
with the Invesimeat feature of the endnwmeat
fjolioy, while It avoids the expense attendinfr the
alter by the ordinary method. An improvement has
also been added to this new form ot p licy within
the year, which nives the assured the option at tne
end of iliG yerlod of taking the endowment in cash
or uf Continuing the insurance for a much larger
amount without any further payment of premium,
independent of the condition ot health at the time.
