was destined at no distant day to water his horses at the
Golden Horn. The literal meaning of this language
was that the ancient Empire of the East was to be
restored under Russian influence, and that the Head of
the House of Romanoff would establish his seat in the

Half of the amount is in bills at nine months
and half in bills at twelve months. The average r<»te of di.»couiit was 3 11-18 in the case of the nine months' bills and a
little under 2 13-18 in the case of the twelve month's billa.
These rates are higher than seemed probable. As three months'
bank bills on that same day were quoted in the outside market
at 1^^ per cent, and as the new Indian loan, amounting to 9^4
millions sterling, was taken on Tuesday last at a trifle less than
3 per cent, it is urged that the Briti-th Government ought to
have got what it wanted for nine and twelve months at leas
than 2% per cent. It is to be said, however, in e:cplanatioa,

market rate and the rate charged to the Government seems to
be excessive; and it is felt that if the Chancellor of the Ebcchequer could not make more favorable arrangements with bankers, it would have been the wiser course to have issued shortdated bonds, which would have been welcomed by numerous

The expansion of the internal coin circulation, owing to the
improvement which has been going on since the end of
February, continues, and just now it is being increased by the
special Scotch demand which always arisps in the beginning
of May. During the week ended Wednesday ni;;ht the Bank
of England received net from abroad £30.5,000 in gold. But
nearly £150,000 more than that amount was taken from the
Bank for the internal circulation. Altogether the increase in
the internal circulation since the end of February is not far

The advance in international securities proceeds niemly.
The chief activity this week has been in Turkish and Greek
bonds. It is reported, on what seems to be excellent authority,
that Prince Bismarck is about to propose the establishment of
an international financial commission in Tin-key. The proposal
is warmly supported by Austria- Hungary and Italy, and communications aie going on, it is said, with our own Foreign
Office to secure its adhesion. The report is that as yet no communication has been made either to Fi'ance or to Russia, as it
is known they will not be favorable, and it is thought that the
most likely way to induce them to join is to prove to tliem the
plan can be carried out without their assistance. The immespeculators

The Money Market and Financial Sitnatioii.— Our week
good tone at the Stock Exchange
and quite a sensation in Oregon Trans-Continental, which sold
closes with a reniarkably
at 64}^ cash against 33 as the lowest price " reguLir," the
books closing to-day fi r the election. The O. T. matter has
been the interesting event of the week, as the culmination
among giants pending for some time past, the
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific on either side being imof a battle
derstood to be the real parties interested. Whoever controls
the O. T. Company liolds a majority of Oregon Railway &
Navigation stock, and about $20,000,000 (par value) of Northern Pacific.
The best type of improvement among the grangers is found
in the fact that three figures are again required to quote Burlington & Quincy. It was a sad day for Boston when tliis old
aristocrat of its Stock Exchange sold below 90 (SSJa Jbirch
26), and it will be considered an omen of good to see it again
above par; the April net earnings wLU be looked for with
much interest. We put no faith in Sti-eet rumors of what
forthcoming earnings of various comixinies are going to show,
50o.
United States Bonds.— At the Stock Exchange the business
in Government bonds has been light and unimportant, as
usual. There is little or no change in prices. The jiurchases
by the Secretary of the Treasury have amounted to $l,114.1oO
for the week, mostly 4i^s.
The same policy continues of
accepting all the offerings within the limits of the prices paid
lately.
Tlie total payments made for bonds purchased from Aiiril
11, 1889, were §193,574,784. The statement for
23, 1888, to
this week is as follows:

as there have been altogether too many false reports on that
subject in the past, and they are dangerous either to buy or
sell on.
The appointment of President S. W. Fordyce as receiver of
the St. Louis Arkansas
Texas Company is the best that
could have been made, and it is the best move for the preservation of tlie projjerty.
The prices of wheat and com are now down to a point where
the foreign markets ought to take them freely, and if they keep
near to present figures there is little doubt that wheat, at least,
will be exported in large quantities during the summer months.
It would be an interesting inquiry to get the opinion of a few
&
men as to how much money was lost in commissions
otlienvise to the New York Produce Exchange and the
Chicago Board of Trade by tlie Hutchinson wheat corner of
September, 1888. It took the life out of business for the whole
vear, and enabled Russia to market her great croji unmolested by this country.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 1}^ to 2}ipeT cent,
and to-day tlie rates were 2(a>2}^ per cent. Prime commercial
paper is quoted at 3i^@4 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statemeift on Thursday sliowed
a gain in specie of £948,000, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 37-34, against 40-87 last week; the discount rate
remains unchanged at 2i^ per cent. The Bank of France
gained 5,700.000 francs in gold and 2,325,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing House banks in their statement of
May 11 showed a decrease in surplus reserve of §672,000,
the total surplus being $8,850,575, against $9,522,575 the precandid
and
vious week.

State and Railroad Bonds. Tliere has been only a moder*
ate business in State bonds, and Tennessee settlemeut 3s hava
again been a little more active than the rest, and firmly held.'
In railroad bonds the volume of business at the Stock £»•
change has fallen off considerably, though it is said that thft
general demand for investments still keeps up isrett.v well, and
this woilld seem to be confirmed by the success of recent
issues of new loans.
Tliere have been no special features to
the bond market this week, and the course of prices has lieeO:
irregular, some classes being weak and unsettled, while manyare still well held and firm. Some of the more speculative
classes took on a stronger tone on Thursday, when there was
quite an upward movement in stocks.
—
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks. The stock market, al
a general rule, has not been active tliis week, though the volume of business improved somewliat in the latter part. The
market has broadened latterly and the demand has become
more general in consequence of a growing confidence in the
future of values. The tone all through has been rather bullish,
and decided strength has been shown in a few stocks. Earnings, as a rule, are showing well, and the prospects for the future in tills regard are good. The crop outlook is very bright,
especially for wheat, aud if prices can be maintained at a fait
standard this should secure an early tonnage for the road&
There is also reported some improvement in the coal trade. All
these influences, while not occasioning any general advance,
have yet been sufficient to give strength to the market and encourage some buying by the public at large.
As a group, the grangers have been the most conspicuous,
and have all scored quite a handsome advance. Chicago has
become bullish over the large crop prospect, and has bought
the grangers and Chicago Gas Trust quite freely. Burlington
& Quincy has been specially active and strong. There have
been reports of a large " blanket" mortgage to be issued by
St. Paul, to take up all the existing mortgages, but it seems
rather singular tliat there should be so much talk about it, as
only those bonds could be retired which mat-ure, or on which
there is an --ption for the company to retire them at a certain
price.
Atchison has been strong again, the princii'al outside
demand
for this stock coming from Bo.ston.
prominent feature of the week has been the dealings in
Oregon Trans-Continental, the demand for the stock being
very large in view of the contest for control at the approaching election between Messrs. Villard and Smith. This has
A
occasioned a peculiar condition of the price, the cash price
ranging to-day between 37 aud 64'8, while the j.rice regular
was at
The
33 to 35,14.
coal stocks have also been strong, especially Lackawanna and Delaware and Hudson, with Reading joining in the
advance on Thm-sday. Tlie Wabashes had an ad\-ance. 011 the
sale in foreclosure of the Eastern lines to the committee.
Union Pacific has been an exception to the prevailing strength,
showing a weak tendency on a very poor exhibit of March
earnings.

and other town sites, together with the surplus proceeds of the
Manitoba Southwestern lands (the property of your company),
will cover the interest on the land gi-ant bonds, leaving tlie
ordinary revenues of the company intact."

\ ' Tlie earnings per passenger per mile for the past year were
1'79 cents, and per ton of freight per mile 1"03 cents, as compared with 1-98 and 1-006 respectively for 1887. The decrease
in the rate per passenger per mile was chiefly, if not entirely,
due to the large increase in emigration to the Northwest and
British Columbia as compared with the previous year the
emigrants being carried at exceedingly low rates.
"Tlie results of the past year's working have not proved so
satisfactory as was anticipated at the date of the last annual
report. This was mainly due to the exceedingly light crop of
Ontario in 1887. Nearly all of that crop was moved before the
close of the year in which it was harvested, leaving but little
to be carried in 1888. Ontario, in jwint of traffic, being equal
to nearly half of the entire Dominion, a crop failure there is a
most serious matter, affecting as it does passenger traffic and
trade generally. The deficiency in Ontario was fortunately
more than made good by the development of business along
the main line, and of the through ti-aflSc to and from the
Pacific coast but the through traffic had to be carried at
rates affording comparatively small profit, and the net earnings for the year, while §366,656 in excess of the year before,
were not in proportion to the increase in gross earnings."
The completion of the Atlantic
Northwest Railway (the
company's leased line to tlie Maritime Provinces) was delayed
by unfavorable weather as well as by unexpected difficulties
in construction. It was not quite ready for traffic at the close
of the year, but will be fully opened, on the 2d June proximo.
"The company has obtained the authority of ParUament to
issue debentures to cover the cost of steamships, with especial
reference to a service between Vancouver and China and
Ja[)an; but the Dominion Grovernment being in negotiation
with an independent company for a fast Atlantic steamship
service, and a first-class service between Vancouver and Australia, your directors are disposed to surrender the proposed
Japan and China service to the same company if favorable
arrangements can be made; otherwise you will be asked to
confer ujwn the board the necessary authority to carry out the
contract with the Imperial Government, the terms of which
have already been arranged, for a line of steamships between
Vancouver and Yokohama and Hong Kong." * * *

uting handsomely to its revenues.
sites last year were $519,827, and the total sales to 31st December last have been 81,399,337. Only a small proportion of the
company's interest in town sites has, as yet, been dis]X)8ed of,
and its receipts from this source will rapidly increase as the
country increases in population."

of the Short Line and the Union Pacific Company. Then the
Executive Committee resolved to issue the $10,000,000 stock,
guarantee a dividend of six yter cent and secure it by liypothecating the $12,000,000 of Oregon Navigation stock and present
the matter at the coming meeting of the stockholders. Mr. Villard dejlared that he had only given his counsel instructions
to prepare a resolution to this effect, and to have the plan
cajTied out as far as it was competent for them to do so, and
then to submit it to the stockhcilders. Nothing had been done
to prepare the certificates nor issue the new stock, nor to
pledge the Oregon Navigation stock.

Wabash.—At Chicago, May 15, James F. Joy and President
Ashley, the Wabash Western Purcliaaing Committee, bought
nine divisions of the Wabash Railway for $15,500,000. la
March they bought the Chicago division. According to the
terms of the decree rendered bj Judges Qresham and Jackson, the road was sold first by divisions and then as a whole.
The sale bringing the most was to Ix; the legal one. The nuHter in chancery, Bluford Wilson, conducted tliesale. Theother
bidders were the Popper-Johnson syndicate, representing the
minority bondholders, and the Wabash Purcliaaing C-ommitThe Popiwr-Johnson syndicate were the guccosRful bidtee.

$3,650,000; Great Western (lUinoU division), 18,850.000; Decatur & St. Louis, $4,000,000. The Wabash Western Purchaaiiig
Committee were tlie successful bidders, contingent on the
amount brought by the road as a unit for the other divisions as
follows: Quincv & Toledo. $500,000, Illinois & SoutlK>m Iowa,
$300,000; Hannibal & Naples, $500,000; Ohio division, $3,840,595; two small branches, $100,000; total, $15,640,908. Tbo

the road was knocked down at the unit price. Preibdeat Ash-
Lonis Arkansaii k Texa.s.—The appiointment of President S. W. Fordyce as receiver of this railroad has been confirmed in the three States through which the road runs. His
appointment is in a suit begun by the Central Trust Company
of tliis city, trustee of the first mortgage:
No event could be
more favorable for the bondholders and for all persons interested in the real welfare of this large property than the appointment of Mr. Fcrdyce as receiver at ttiis time. The worst
thing that could have happenetl would have been for the company to drift along in a helpless conilition, borrowing money
at an enormous sacrifice, and finally to have gone into the
hands of a receiver, after an immense floating debt had Ijeen
run up, which the lenders would probably have endeavored by
every means in their power to have placed ahead of, or on an
equality with, the first mortgage bonds.
The property will be well managed by Mr. Fordyce. and the
bondholders will be in a position to know just what is done ley said after the sale:

Tlie Bj)ecuIation in cotton for future doliveiy at this
market
opened tlie week under review with a hardening tendency
due to unfavorable crop accounts in the last Chronicle tlie
continued drought over a large iwrtion of the South, the very
movement of the current crop at the ports as well as at
the interior towns, and an upward tone to the Liverpool
market, causing a demand to cover contracts. Of a
chstinctive
bull movement there was, however, little or none, and
small
each
small advance was followed by a decline under selling
to
realize.
Business fell oflf materially, the bulls saying that
grices were too dear to justify operations for a rise, while the
ears felt little inclined, in view of the reduced movement
and unfavorable crop accounts, to put out contracts
for
a
decline.
Liverpool
was
feverishly
unsettled,
uiitil Wednesday, when it made a smart advance, which
met
with but a feeble response on this side of the Atlantic. Yesterday a slightly dearer opening was followed by a genoral
decline under reports and prospects of rain at the .South. Today the speculation was dull, values a little imsettled, and the
close witnout decided change. Cotton on the spot met with
a
good spinning demand and on AYednesday quotations were
advanced l-16c. It was believed that in view of the greatly
reduced stocks South, New England spinners are largely dependent ou this market for such supplies as tiiey may need.
To-day there was a fair spinning demand at 11 l-16c. for middling uplands.

Fall River Mills Dividends. Notwithstanding the les-sening of production in consequence of the weavers' strike iu
March, the Fall River cotton mills make a very good showing
for the past quarter, as the April dividend exhibits indicate.
As will be noticed in the subjoined statement, the stockholders in all hut one of the corporations included received dividends ranging from one and one-half to six per cent, the aggregate amount distributed reaching §487,560, or an average of
2-60 per cent on the total capital invested. In the like period
of 1888 dividends were declared by tlurty of the thirty-three
corporations, the total paid being §415,450, or an average of
2"39 per cent on the aggregate capital. The gain, therefore,
this year, as compared with last, is $73,110, or -26 per cent,
Oiur figures are as stated for the April quarter, and those for
this year are compiled from statistics furnished by Messrs.
G. M. Hatfards & Co., bankers and brokers.
