The full details of clearings for the week covered by the
ve statem ent will be given next Saturday. W e cannot, of
, furnish them to-day, bank clearings being made up byvarious clearing houses a t noon on Saturday, and hence in
he above the last twenty-four hours of the week have to be
ail cases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
W e give below our usual detailed figures for the previous
k, covering the returns for the period ending w ith Satur
day noon, May 19, m well as the comparative totals in 1893.
Compared with the preceding week, the aggregate exchanges
bow a decrease of a little less than seven millions of dollars,
he gain at N e w York being $48,279. Six of the cities record
sins over the corresponding week o f 1893, but in th e total for
ho whole country there is a decline of Jo per cent. The
»«tviest losses are, as for some time past, in the West, Spo
on-) leading w ith 76 per cent. The gains recorded have been
•t Memphis, 4 3 $ per c e n t; Des Moines, 26-9 ; Binghamton,
9'8 ; Peoria, 10 9 ; Columbus, 6 4, and Dallas, 0'2 per cent.

Since the week ending April .23 up to aud including
Thursday #22,650,000 gold haa been sent to Europe,
a movement wholly due to abnormal currency con
ditions which have congested our market, rendered the
employment of money at remunerative rates impossible
and driven it abroad, where it may take its chances of
earning something, though in competition with a vast
accumulation of money at all the chief European
centres. The cable reports that Austria has accu
mulated all the gold it needs at present for the change
of its currency standard. During this period of four
weeks, that is since April 28, there has not been the
variation of more than half a cent per pound sterling
in the rates for actual business for exchange and as
often as these rates have receded, either in response to
a lighter demand or to the temporary satisfaction of
the inquiry for remittance through exports of gold, or
the offering of bills against bond negotiations or pur
chases of stocks for European account, rates have
promptly reacted to the gold point, indicating a de
cidedly strong undertone. The condition of the market
this week has been but a repetition of that of recent
i weeks. On Monday the tone was firm, the supply of
bills small and rates fully up to the gold point, so
: that #1,300,000 of the metal was engaged for the
steamer sailing on the following day. On Tuesday
the feature was a firmer tone for long gterling in re- spouse to easier discounts in London, but sight bills
; and cable transfers were also strong, the market was
quite bare of drafts, aud #300,000 gold was engaged for
shipment on Wednesday, There was no abatement in
the strength on the following day, and the scarcity of
1i sixty-day bills caused them to sell at about the best
figures of the year. In the afternoon it was announced
that #1,800,000 gold would be shipped by the steamer
sailing on Thursday. Influenced by the offering of
bills against this shipment, and also by a few
| drafts made against operations by the arbitrage
- houses and by the congested state of money in London,
I the tone was a shade easier on Thursday, and this con| tinned yesterday; the withdrawals for shipment to-day
were only #900,000—much below the early estimates.
The following table shows the daily changes in rates by
I leading drawers of exchange.

The market closed steady on Friday at 4 SB to 4 8 8 £
for 60 day and i 894 to 4 90 for sight. Rates for
actual business were 4 874 to 4 87| for long, 4 88| to
4 88| for short, 4 8Sf to 4 89 for cable transfers, 4 86f
to 4 87 for prime and 4 86f to 4 86f for documentary
commercial hills. The steamship La Touraine, which
arrived on Monday, brought $62,000 gold in transit to
Cuba, and thi3 movement now appears to be subsiding.
The April statement of the Pennsylvania Railroad
reflects the absence of any improvement in trade con
ditions. At the beginning of April the outlook ap
peared to be quite encouraging for a better state of
things, chiefly by reason of the increase in the produc
tion of iron, the number of furnaces in active operation
the first of that month having been the largest for a
long while past. Ant later came the coal strike, which
shut off the supply of fuel, and compelled many of the
furnaces to blow out. As a result, to the ordinary in
fluence of trade depression there was added thi 3
special disturbing agency, reducing at once both the
coal traffic and the iron traffic, both of which, as our
readers know, form such important items in the Penn
sylvania’s tonnage. During the present month the
coal strike has grown in-magnitude aud intensity, com
pelling a pretty general cessation of operations in the
iron and steel industries, and also forcing a shut-down
in many other branches of trade. Besides this, the
present week we have had the great floods, from which
the Pennsylvania, by reason of its location, necessarily
suffered more severely than other systems. Obviously,
therefore, the managers are having very unfavorable
conditions to contend against.
As far as the decrease in gross earnings for April is
concerned, it is the largest yet shown in any monthly
statement since the commercial crisis ha3 been In
progress. For the so-called lines east of Pittsburg and
Erie the loss in gross is reported at $1,131,476 and
for the lines west of Pittsburg and Erie it is reported
at $742,017, making together $1,873,493. For March
the loss on the combined lines was a little less than
this, being $1,867,519 ; for February it was $1,668,005,
and for January only $1,189,329. In December the loss
was $1,339,470, in November $1,367,024, in October
$1,477,484, in September $1,115,141 and in August
$1,301,391. Expenses have of course again been heavily
reduced, but the mauagera have not been so successful as
in the months immediately preceding in overcoming the
extraordinary losses in gross receipts. On the Eastern
lines the saving in expenses has been $833,194, leaving
a loss in net of $298,282, and on the Western lines the
saving has been $438,565, leaving a loss in net of
$303,452. Thus on the combined system there has
been a reduction in expenses in amount of over 1 4 mil
lion dollars, and yet even after this reduction there ia
a loss in the net of over six hundred thousand dollars.
In March the loss in net for the combined lines was
only $132,973, the saving in expenses then having been
$1,734,546. The following compares the gross and

hat is the important fact. The Convention finally
dopted a resolution declaring “ That it is the sense of
his Convention that competing carriers may safely be
.emitted to make lawful contracts with each other for
he apportionment of competitive traffic or the earnings
herefrom; provided, that conditions and restrictions
e imposed which protect the public from excessive and
n reasonable charges.” This resolution was adopted by
rote of 19 to 8—that is, by a majority of over twohirds, which is certainly a noteworthy result when it is
. onsidered that the Convention contained many ComMssioners from the West and South,
i It is important to note, too, that at the Convention
Ir, Knapp, of the Inter-State Commerce Commission,
rade a very strong argument in favor of legalizing
poling contracts. Mr. Knapp assumed to speak only
>r himself and not for the Inter-State Board. In his
ddress he brought out very clearly the fact that the
th section is inconsistent with the general theory of
tie act, and furthermore that as the statute gives the
ater-State Board the power to regulate transportation
barges the prohibition of pooling is not necessary
3 a protection against excessive rates. Says Mr.
Cnapp: “ To my mind a system of Government
sgulation which starts upon the proposition that all
lies shall be just and reasonable, and which forbids
very species of discrimination, whether between indi
viduals, localities or commodities, is irreconcilably at
ariance with the theory of actual competition in the
harges and rates of public carriers. It seems to me
therefore, that the present law presents this curious
uomaly, that it aims to enforce compulsory competioa between rival railroads by the mandate of the
acute, and at the same time seeks to punish as
lisdemeanorB the methods, inducements, practices,
ad concessions by which in all other kinds of business,
ompetitiou, as we understand it, la carried on. There
m be but one reasonable rate between any two points;
* it does not matter whether there are two or
wenty roads between and connecting two given
localities or whether there is only a single line. In
ther case there can be but one just and reasonable
ite, and in either case the prevention of every sort of
iscriminatton requires that all the carriers between
rose points charge everybody the same rate.”
Other evidence might be cited to show that public
mtiment is crystallizing in favor of giving legal saneou to contracts for the apportionment of the traffic or
ae earnings upon competitive business. For instance a
fit tie over a year ago the Inter-State Commerce Coinuission undertook to get expressions of opinion upon
re subject, and sent out letters of inquiry for that
arpose. The replies were printed in the report for
892-93. They came from railroad officials, Boards of
'rade, State Railroad Commissioners and other promlent persons and bodies. Of the whole number of replies
meived only 8 were against pooling, while 46 were in
tVor of it. Among the latter was one from ex-Senator
leagan, now the head of the Texas Railroad Comrnison. A3 will be remembered, Mr. Reagan played a
rominent part in securing the enactment of the Infcertate law and was chiefly instrumental in having the
fth section incorporated in the act. He now declares

The change of view in this latter case is quite re

favor of repealing or amending the anti-pooling section,

T H E F R E N C H C A B IN E T C R IS IS 1
Among the conspicuous events of the week has been
the resignation of the French Cabinet Ministers, with,
the consequent retirement from power of M. CasimirPerier. The immediate cause of the resignation was
the opposition shown by Ministers to the passing of a
measure which had for its object the authorizing of th e
railway employees, who are under the control of th e
Government, to form syndicates, thus rendering it pos
sible for them to go on strike, and at will disturb the
railway service,
,
A Congress of railway employees met in Paris on
Tuesday. There was a desire on the part of the men
employed on the State railways to he represented at
the congress; but M. Jonnart, Minister of Public
Works, who voiced the sentiments of the Cabinet, re
fused to allow the delegates leave of absence. M.
Jonnart took his stand on the necessities of the railroad
service. He had no desire, he said, to neutralize the law
of 1884, which authorized working-men's syndicates;
but he could not allow servants of the State to form a
syndicate combination against the mass of the tax-pay
ers of the nation. It was his opinion that the servants
of the State should not belong to trades unions. The
socialist members of the Chamber became wild with
rage, taunted the Ministers by charging that they as
sumed democratic attitudes at banquets and other such
occasions, but went back upon their promises and
pledges whenever they were called upon to act; and
when the Prime Minister demanded the order of the
day pure and simple, the demand was rejected by a vote
of 2 0 5 to 2 2 5 . As soon as the result of the voting was
announced Ministers withdrew. In the absence of
Ministers, In a somewhat disorderly house, the social-ista being jubilant, M. de Ramel's order of the day
recognizing the right of State employees to join work
ingmen’s syndicates was carried by a vote of 251 to 223.
The Chamber now stands adjourned until Monday,
President Carnot having failed so far to induce
the Ministers to reconsider their decision, and
having also failed to appoint their successors. There
is no good reason for regarding the present
crisis in a serious light, or as betokening any
serious danger to the Republic. Cabinet changes
have become familiar occurrences to the French mind.
Cabinet changes in fact have been almost as numerous
as the years of the Republio. Ministry has succeeded
Ministry with a rapidity to which no other country
oilers a parallel. Prophets of evil have in almost every
case associated Ministerial resignations with some as
yet unseen but coming disasters. The vacant places,
however, have always been filled; and the Republic

THE CHRONICLE.
lias contrived not only to maintain its existence, but
apparently to gain in tlie esteem of the French people.
In the past we have a reasonable standard by which
to test the future. President Carnot has not been
without experience in the construction of cabinets.
He has always been able to find mon willing to serve
himself and the country; and we have no reason to
doubt that either the material or the skill to make a
suitable selection will be wanting in the present in
stance.
It is not the difficulty whith lies in the way of Presi
dent Carnot in securing suitable men to work with him
in carrying on the affairs of the nation which gives
importance to the present crisis. It is the relation
which the crisis, such as it is, has to the forthcoming
Presidential election. During the month of October
next the members of the Senate and of the Chamber of
Deputies will meet in the character of a National As
sembly at Versailles and proceed to the election of a
President of the Republic, who, according to the Con.
stitution, shall be entitled to hold executive sway for
seven years. M. Grevy, it will be remembered, was
elected for a second term December 28, 1885, but in
consequence of the scandal created by his son-in-law,
M. Wilson, through the sale of titles of honor, found
it necessary to resign December 2, 1887. The vacant
place was immediately filled by the election of M.
Sadi Carnot, who this year completes his seven years
of office. It has been rumored for the best part of a
year that the President would not seek re-election. In
some particulars, however, politics in France are not
unlike politics in our own country ; and there, as
here, political professions, especially where office, honor
and emoluments are concerned, are to be taken with a
grain of salt. It has for some time past been made
abundantly manifest that President Carnot is not only
willing to have his name on the list of candidates but
that he is eager for re-election.
It now appears that when Casimir-Perier accepted
office he was assured by the President that he would
not seek re-election— in other words, that he was to be
considered out of the field. What influence he was
able to wield he would use for the Prime Minister.
On this understanding, we are told, M. Casimir-Perier
took office, and allowed himself to be saddled with the
duties of Prime Minister. So far as any charge has
been made, it does not appear that the chief of the
Cabinet has made any improper use of his great influ
ence to advance his own interests in the direction indi
cated. It is charged, however, that the President has
been working in divers ways for a new presidential
term. M. Casimir-Perier has felt that the compact
was broken. What he wanted was freedom to act.
This railroad syndicate gave him the desired "opportu
nity to get rid of his office and to secure entire liberty
of action.
Connected with the retirement of the Ministers there
are certain circumstances which go far to strengthen
this view of the situation. It is stated that M. Casi
mir-Perier exhibited no little satisfaction when the
result of the voting was announced. The opinion,
we are told, prevailed in the Chamber,'both among
members and spectators, that if the Prime Minister
had gone to the rostrum and spoken only a few words
when he demanded the order of the day pure and sim
ple, he could have averted the crisis. It would thus
seem that he rode for a fall, and that he welcomed
defeat. From all that can be gathered from the latest
news it would appear to be the general opinion that the
Yol. l v i i i .
Prime Minister has gained a point on the President,
and that the presidential contest is fairly commenced.
It is worth noting that since the organization of the
Republic there has not been what could be considered a
presidential campaign. No doubt this is to be ex
plained partly by the machinery by means of which the
election is effected. It is not in any sense of the term
a popular election. The choice of a chief magistrate is
not submitted to the people, but to the people’s repre
sentatives, and not to representatives specially selected
for the purpose. The election is accomplished by the
members of the two houses, as mentioned above, assem
bled in one body; and their work is final. But the
absence from the history of the present French Repub.
lie of a prolonged and lively presidential contest is to
be explained on other grounds. General MacMahon
succeeded on the resignation of M. Thiers, M. Grevy
succeeded on the resignation of MacMahon and M.
Carnot succeeded on the resignation of M. Grevy. It
is true that MacMahon and Grevy were re-elected, but
their second terms were not seriously contested.
France, in fact, has not had anything at all approach
ing a lively election for chief magistrate since Louis
Napoleon was elected by the plebiscite. Should there
now be a contest^between Carnot and Casimir-Perier,
the popular mind of France will be kept alive during
the summer by the discussion of the rival claims and
merits of the two candidates.
Both are men of talent and character. Outside of
France the Prime Minister is not so well known as the
President; but among the best classes of the French
people he is esteemed and trusted. At present he is
beyond all question the candidate whom Carnot has
most to fear. But Carnot is a man of luck. The
Paris Exhibition gave him an opportunity of winning
popular favor, almost as soon as he took office as Presi
dent of the Republic. He has survived the Boulanger
episode and the Panama scandals; and as he reaped
glory in the beginning of his presidential career by the
Exhibition, so has he lately reaped advantages through
the entente cordiale established between France and
Russia. His chances for re-election are the stronger
that both of his immediate predecessors were honored
with the second term. In any event— no matter how
the office and the honors go— there is no reason to fear
for the welfare of the Republic, which has already
lasted six years longer than any form of government
the French have had since the downfall of the old
monarchy in the First Revolution.
THE E A R N IN G S OF THE A N T H R A C IT E
COAL ROADS.
While the railroads all over the United States have
had their earnings greatly reduced the present year,
the anthracite coal roads appear to have sustained es
pecially heavy losses. A few of the leading roads, like
the Philadelphia & Reading and the Central of New
Jersey, make regular monthly returns, and the course
of their earnings has been noted from month to month.
But once every three months we get some additional
returns from lines which supply only quarterly reports.
It will be interesting to bring together in one place the
results for the March quarter of all the anthracite car
riers from which either monthly or quarterly figures
can be obtained. This we have done in the table given
further below. We include the Erie in the statement,
for while the road is ordinarily classed with the trunk
lines, it has an exceedingly large tonnage in anthracite
coal.
M a t 26,1894,]
THE
CHRONICLE.
It will be observed that the roads represented in the
table have aggregate gross earnings of only $20,829,572
for the three months of 1894, against $26,757,393 for the
three months of 1893, being a decrease of $5,927,821, or
23*15 per cent, and aggregate net of only $4,530,739,
against $6,695,724, the decrease in this latter case being
nearly one-third—to he exact 32-33 percent. While the
losses are rery large they do not reflect the full extent of
the falling off which has occurred in the receipts of the
anthracite companies. The Lehigh Valley is missing
from the list, it making neither monthly nor quarterly
reports. In the case of the Reading the coal-mining
operations are included (as is of course evident from the
fact that the figures for the Coal & Iron Company ap
pear in the table), and in the case of the Summit
Branch and the Lykens Valley—two small roads—
the figures give simply the mining opera
tions, the railroad >transportation business not
being reported. In none of the other cases is
the mining business included, and in thi3 the
the falling off must have been heavy. For the Lacka
wanna and the Delaware & Hudson even the railroad
operations are represented only in p a rt; the Lacka
wanna return covers merely the New York leased lines,
these forming about one-third the aggregate mileage
operated, and the Delaware & Hudson results also cover
only the mileage in New York State, though in that case
such mileage embraces the greater part of the whole mile,
age. In a word, if we could include all the roads and
the fall results for each, the showing, at least as far as
the aggregate amount of los3 is concerned, would with,
out a doubt ba still more unfavorable than appears by
our statement.

a very substantial gain in the net through a reduction
in expenses, the net this year beiug reported at $186,655 against $120,447 last year. The Reading on the
operations of the Railroad Company last year showed avery heavy increase in expenditures; this year ex
penses have been heavily reduced, so that with $987,396
decrease in gross, there is $67,306 increase in n e t; the
Coal & Iron Company shows $223,655 decrease in net,
making $156,349 decrease for the two companies com
bined. This is a better result than that for the other
large companies, the loss being only about 10 per cent.
The decrease in net by the Albany & Susquehanna is
$149,613 and by the New York Lackawanna & West
ern $291,172—both over 33J per c e n t; the Erie has
net of only $1,146,732 against $2,119,055, and the
Central of New Jersey net of only $678,768 against.
$1,216,005.
These large and general losses indicate a common de
pressing influence. But the explanation is not to be
found entirely in the prostration of our industries,
from which this part of the country is suffering along
with the rest. The explanation is to be sought rather
in the great contraction in the amount of anthracite
mined and shipped to market. For the four months to
April 30 the shipments of anthracite the present year,
as we showed last week, have been only 10,245,675 tons,
against 13,200,139 tons in the corresponding four
months last year, the falling off thus being nearly three
million tons, of which about 2£ million tons occurred
in the first three months (the period covered by the
earnings statement above), the decrease in April having
been 527,352 tons. This decrease of three million
tons in the shipments would represent a loss in tolls
alone of over 44 million dollars.

FOREIGN CORPORA TIONS I N NEW JERSEY.
An important act relating to corporations of other States
doing business in New Jersey has just been passed by the
N ew Jersey Legislature. It was approved May 15, 1894, and
provides that on and after the first day of July, 1894, no such
corporation, other than banking, insurance and railroad com
panies, shall transact business in New Jersey until it shall
have filed in the Department of State (1) an attested copy of
its charter or certificate of organization, and (3) a statement
o f its capital stock authorized, amount issued, character of
its business, and designating a citizen or corporation in the
State upon whom legal service may he made ; in certain cases
service may he made upon the Secretary of State. Upon
filing these papers the Secretary of State shall issue a certifi
cate authorizing the corporation to transact business in New
Jersey. The fees are five dollars for filing each paper and
five dollars for certificate of authority ; total, fifteen dollars ;
for service of process upon Secretary of State, two dollars.
In addition to the foregoing, a retaliatory feature was enact
ed which provides that “ when, by the laws of any other

on by corporations incorporated under the laws of New Jer
sey for similar business ; until such corporation so transacting
business in this State shall have obtained said certificate
of the Secretary of State, it shall not maintain any action in
this State upon any contract made by it in this State, but any
lawful contract made prior to the first day of July, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, may be performed
and enforced within this State subsequent to that date ; for

continue in force, the same taxes, fines, penalties, licenses,
fees, obligations and requirements of whatever kind shall be
imposed upon all such corporations of such other State
or nation doing business within this State and upon their
agents here ; provided, that nothing herein shall be held to
repeal any duty, condition or requirement now imposed by
law upon such corporations of other States or nations trans
acting business in this State.
4. And be i t enacted, That all acts and parts of acts incon
sistent with this act be and the same are hereby repealed,
and that this act shall take effect immediately.

[From oar own correspondent.]
London, Saturday, May 13, 1894.
During the week ended W ednesday night the net receipts
of gold at the Bank of England am ounted to £885,000, and on
Thursday another turn of £239,000 was received. Since the
beginning of the year the total receipts have reached nearly
six millions sterling. The stock of bullion now held amounts
to £03,190,000. A greater am ount, it is true, was held both in
1876 and in 1879; but with these two exceptions the present i8
the largest gold holding of the bank since the Bank Charter
Act was passed in 1844. And gold is still coming in upon a
very considerable scale. I t is evident, therefore, th at rates
will continue very low for maDy months to come. The
reserve am ounts to £33,647,000. In a couple of weeks
now gold will come back from Scotland, so th a t th e
probability is th a t the reserve will exceed 24 millions sterling
before very long. In spite, however, of the cheapness of
money there is n ot much inclination to em bark in new enter
prise. Y et the quantity of unemployed money is so large

ing off in the exports to the Uni'ed States. Both in March and compared with the last three years:
in April those exports were decidedly less than half those in
the corresponding months of last year, being only £843,000,
against £1,693,000 in April, and £999,000 in March, against
£3,027,000 in the previous March. If the exports to the
United States are left out of account, our exports to the rest
of the world would show an increase for the two months of
about a million and a-half sterling, or nearly 6 per cent. The
feeling throughout the country remains hopeful. The home
trade is decidedly improving and the railway traffic returns
continue to thew large increases week a‘‘ter week.

Foreign Exchange.—There have been no points of special
interest in the exchange market, and rates held very firm
until Wednesday, since which time the tone has been a trifle
. easier. There seemed to be a little more buying of securities
for foreign account on the nearer prospect of passing a tariff
bill, and this reduced the demand for gold for export, leaving
the shipments for this week, including to-morrow’s steamers,
$4,500,000.
To-day actual rates of exchange were as follow s: Bankers’
sixty days sterling, 4 87%@4 87%; demand, 4 88%@488%;
cables, 4 88%@4 89.

The Money Market and F inancial Situation.—There is a
slight improvement perceptible in the tone of feeling in Wall
Street, based partly on the nearer prospect that the Senate
may actually get through with the tariff bill in a short time.
It is generally understood that the sharpest contest will be made
on sugar, wool, and the income tax, and if these all pass the
Senate substantially as now presented, it seems highly proba
ble that the bill may become a law without great changes in
the Conference Committee.
The railroad situation has hardly improved at all as regards
earnings, and the returns of net for April now coming in do
not make a favorable exhibit. The Pennsylvania and the St.
Paul roads show a considerable decrease, while the Big Four
is well up to April, 1893. But the best report is that of Lake
Shore for the quarter ending with March, which shows a net
income only about $50,000 below the same quarter of 1893.
The coal strike is injuring the traffic of many roads, while one
at least, the Norfolk & Western, is profiting by it and rushing
coal to market, both East and West, with all possible urgency.
The Government situation undoubtedly has a depressing in
fluence on Stock Exchange securities both at home and
abroad. Notwithstanding the large deficiency in revenue for
-the current year, Congress has yet done absolutely nothing
toward increasing the Government income, and the gold re
serve is declining at such a rate as to again cause apprehen
sion in case some measure is not speedily adopted looking
toward an enlargement of the Government’s resources.
The open market rate for call loans during the week on
Btock and bond collaterals has ranged from 1 to 1% per cent,
the average being slightly above 1 per cent. To-day rates on
call were 1 per cent. Prime commercial paper quoted at 2% to
3% per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed an increase in bullion of £1,247,074 and the percentage
of reserve to liabilities was 67’24, against 65’96 last week; the
discount rate remains unchanged at 2 per cent. The Bank of
France shows an increase of 8,325,000 francs in gold and
4,650,000 in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of May 19 showed a decrease in the reserve held of $1,870,300
and a surplus over the required reserve of $78,999,125, against
$80,634,575 the previous week.

State and Railroad Bonds.—State bonds have still been
dull and sales at the Exchange include only $26,000 Tenn.
settle. 3s at 793^-%, $65,000 Va. 6s def’d Tr. receipts, stp’d, at
$22,000 Va. 2-3s, 1991, at 59%-%, $16,000 Ala. Class “A”
at 101, $5,000 Ark. 7s, L. R. P. B. & N. O., at 12.
Railroad bonds have been dull but prices in some cases bet
ter. The Northern Pacific 1st mort. coupon bonds have taken
a sharp upward turn from below 107 to 110, probably on the
offer of the committee to take receivers’ certificates and fur
nish money sufficient to make up the amount required for July
interest. Reading bonds have been a trifle firmer on hopes of
some agreement between the committees, Atchison bonds
are also better than the lowest figures of last week, with talk
now of an assessment on the stock, changing the second
mortgages back to incomes, and paying interest on the firsts.
General Electric debenture 5s were a feature, advancing to
88 on the rumor of purchases by the company in order to
retire them. There has been as yet no general interest in
bonds, and at the present figures it is a question for buyers to
consider whether it is now a favorable time to purchase some
of the better grades of bonds whose future status seems more
clearly defined than it was a few months ago.
Railroad and M iscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
has been ragged and irregular as usual, the old standard rail
road stocks being depressed early in the week, while the in
dustrial specialties like Sugar and Chicago Gas have fluct
uated widely, apparently without much reason aside from
market influences. Some of the strongest of the railroads
have shown decreases in their April statement of net
earnings in spite of their large economy in expenditures,
while such a leading trunk line as Lake Shore makes
a remarkably good exhibit for the quarter ending
March 31, losing only $51,528
in net earnings
as compared with the same quarter of 1893. Atchison is
weaker on the assessment talk, selling below 9, while New
England is a trifle stronger. Chicago Gas has been a
notable feature, closing at 71% on the expectation that the
quo warranto suit will be removed to the Federal court.
N. Y. Central was sold down by bears, presumably on the
decreased earnings, and Northern Pac. preferred broke down
on the foreclosure and assessment possibilities and closes at
15, against 16 last week. General Electric, after selling
down to 32%, closes at 36, without anything definitely new
about the company. Sugar has been prominent and has been
worked up and down on the tariff prospects. Senator Gor
man’s assertion that his latest schedule would pass the Senate
had some effect, and Sugar went up to 101%, then sold down
to 98%, closing to-day at 102%, against 98% last Friday.
Lead is strong, closing at 37%, against 36% last week and
American Tobacco closes at 85% , against 82%. ;

ANNUAL REPORTS.
K eokuk & W estern R ailroad.
(F o r the year ending December 31,1893.)
The report of Mr. F. T. Hughes, President, remarks that the
gross earnings for 1893 were $17,188 more than the average
for prior years and net earnings $27,785 better th a n average
for prior years. This, he says, results in the main “ from the
fact th at our road has passed the poinc where so much im
provement is necessary on the roadway, but much credit is
due to the able efforts of your General Manager, Mr. A. C.
Goodrich, and his associates, in looking with such earnest
care to all the details of earnings and expanse m aking, which
are so frequently overlooked, and for w ant of which stock
holders so often needlessly suffer. I note these facts for it is
gratifying to know th a t the company has earned, its usual
dividends during thd year, w ithout neglect to the property,
while so many railroads of the country have fled to the courts
for receivers.”
Results in 1893 compare w ith those of 1892 and 1891 as

M an h attan E levated.—Gov. Flower signed the five-cent fare
bill, but it is said th a t the m anagem ent of the M anhattan
Railroad m ay contest this law (which compels a five-cent farefrom the Battery to the term inus of the Suburban Road) on the
ground of unconstitutionality.
Mr. Russell Sage is reported as saying: “ Governor Flow er
should not have signed a bill which attacks vested rights as
this does. I cannot say yet w hat we shall do—th at is a ques
tion for the Board. The Suburban branch has never paid ex
penses since it was built, and this bill will force us to carry
for nothing passengers th a t cross the. H arlem River. I th in k
it is unconstitutional.”
New York & E ast B iv er Ra«.—A t a special meeting of th e
stockholders held on Friday, May 25, it was voted to
increase the capital stock of the company from its present
am ount of $200,000 in preferred stock and $500,000 in common
stock to $2,000,000 in preferred stock and $5,000,000 in com
mon stock. On the completion of the construction contracts
of the E ast River Gas Company th a t company will be absorbed
by the New Y ork & E ast River Gas.
New Yor« & New E n g lan d .—The reorganization commit
tee, which published its plan on A pril 27, announced on May
23 that there had been deposited w ith the M anhattan Trust
Company of this city and the Old Colony Trust Company of
Boston 31,551 shares of the preferred stock of the railroad
company out of a total of 38,176 shares and 156,054 shares o f
common stock out of a total of 198,150 shares. Second m ort
gage bonds to the am ount of $1,502,000 have been deposited
under the" plan and the committee’s notice of May 6. I t isunderstood th a t the Boston committee representing the second
mortgage bondholders, which has come to an understanding
w ith the reorganization committee by which the two will act
in harmony, has on deposit about $2,000,000 more of those
bonds. The tim e for depositing common and preferred stock
has been extended to May 31, after w hich date shares will not
be received except in the discretion of the committee and
subject to such penalties as it may impose. The time for
depositing second mortgage bonds has, pursuant to an under
standing w ith the Boston com mittee of second mortgage
bondholders, been extended to Ju n e 20.
In view of pos.dble default in the Ju ly interest of the
first
mortgage bonds,
Messrs Redmond, K err
&;
Go., of 41 W all
Street, have
issued a circular
from which we quote as follows : “ The coupons due Jan. 1,
1894, rem ain unpaid, although money to pay them has been
earned. If default continues one m onth longer—until Ju ly 1
—foreclosure proceedings will be instituted and you will be
liable to have your bonds paid off at par and interest. * *
The mortgage provides th a t if default continues for six
months, holders of one-tenth the bonds m ay require the trus
tee to take possession of th e property, and thereupon, on re -

quest of one-fifth the bondholders, to sell the same in fore
closure. The majority of the bondholders have |no pow< r to
control the action taken. Our counsel, Messrs. Hoadlev,
Lauterbach & Johnston, advise us that by prompt proceedings
the lien of the first mortgage can be preserved. Prominent
holders of the bonds have asked us to seek your co-operation.
Immediate action is essential, since even now the time is
short in which to secure the payment of the overdue interest.”
Bondholders are asked to send their names to Messrs. Red

N. Y. Rapid Transit.—On the 22d Gov. Flower signed the
Sheffield Rapid-Transit bill, and with it filed a memorandum
giving an excellent summary of the provisions of the bill and
the arguments for and against its constitutionality. The bill
was known as Assembly Bill No. 1,476. It names as Commis
sioners the Mayor of New York, the Comptroller, the Presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce, William Steinway, Seth
Low, John Clafiin, John H. Starin and Alexander E. Orr.
The original intent of the law was for eight Commissioners.
At the time the bill passed the Legislature, Charles Stewart
Smith was President of the Chamber of Commerce, but since
then Mr. Alexander E. Orr has been elected President to suc
ceed Mr. Smith. At the same time Mr. Orr is named in the
bill as a Commi-sioner, and it is suggested that he may resign
this position as an ordinary Commissioner and Mr. Smith may
be chosen to fill the vacancy.
Gov. Flower's statement as to the contents and effects of
the present law (omitting the legal arguments as to its valid
ity) is given as follows :

N orthern Pacific.—The consolidated bondholders com
mittee has issued a notice to the bondholders stating that a
part of the net earnings of the railway system has been used,
pursuant to an order of the court to pay certain preferred
claims against the company, so that the funds necessary to
pay the first mortgage interest on July 1 will not be avail
able. The committee, believing that the avoidance of such
default is ot importance to all interests, will advance the
money to pay this interest at the rate of 6 per cent per an
num, without commission, upon a satisfactory order of the
court being obtained for the issue of $ 1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 receivers’ cer
tificates. This amount will be applied for immediately to
run three months, and it is expected that the earnings will be
sufficient in that time to pay them. The committee also an
nounces the appointment of Mr. William H. Phipps as Land
Commissioner. Mr. Phipps was formerly Land Commissioner
of the Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Co.
—The following brief abstract has been prepared for the
Chronicle, showing the main features of the Northern
Pacific general first mortgage :
This mortgage is dated in 1881. securing 6 per cent gold
bonds, due January 1, 1921, aud the trustee is the Central
Trust Company of tfew York.
A m o u n t A u th o rize d —$25,000 per mile of main line and
branch—total issued, $46,943,000 ; paid off and held in sinking
fund, $3,550,000 ; outstanding, $43,393,000 ; reoerved for prior
liens, but canceled when they were redeemed, $3,936,000; still
reserved against prior liens $2,545,000. Total of amounts now
outstanding and reserved against prior liens, $45,938,000.
Present amount per mile, including prior liens, $01,400.
P r o p e r ty C overed .—The railroad and telegraph of the main
line from a point on Lake Superior, near the mouth of the
Montreal River [at or near Ashland, Wise ] to Tacoma on
Puget Sound, via the Valley of the Columbia River, and the
branch from some convenient point on said main line across
the Cascade Mountains to Puget Sound, together with all right
of way, rolling stock, depots, etc., acquired therefor.*
Also all lands granted by Congress in respect to said main
line and branch, being 25,600 acres of land through the terri
tories and 12,800 through any State— *4 subject, however, as
to the lands in the State of Minnesota and Territory of Da
kota east of the Missouri River, u n til any default shall occur
in some of the provisions of the bonds hereby secured, to the
rights of the holders of the preferred stock of the said railroad
company to convert their stock into said lands and to the
application of the proceeds thereof to the extinguishment of
such stock,” and subject also to the provisions of the Pend
cTOreille and Missouri Division mortgages below mentioned.
[The land grant earned and unsold June 30, 1893, was esti
mated at about 88,442,501 acres, of which towards 3,000,000
acres were subject to the rights of the preferred stockholders.]
Also the undivided one-half of that part of the St. Paul &
Duluth Railroad between Thomson and Duluth in Minnesota,
a distance of about 24 miles, and certain real estate in Duluth
and St. Paul.
P r io r L ie n s.—The only prior liens in May, 1894, were the
Pend d Oreille and Missouri Division bonds, aggregating
$2,545,000—origioally $6,481,000 -d u e in 1919. They cover 430
miles of the road and a small part of the lm d grant.________

THE
C H R O N IC L E .
D e fa u lt.— Upon default for s ix m on th s in any payment of
interest, or of sinking fund instalment, it shall be la w fu l,
upon requisition and indemnity, for the trustee to take
possession of all the railroad and other property conveyed and
to operate the same.
. ...
Or the trustee may sell the main line and branch, with the
a p p u r t e n a n c e s and franchises thereto belonging, and also the
said lands and real estate in St. Paul and Duluth, at public
auction in New York City after six weeks notice by advertise
ment. The proceeds of sale to be applied f ir s t to payment of
interest in arrear on the bonds; n e x t to the satisfaction of the
unpaid principal.
.
..
In case of default as aforesaid the trustee m a y in its dis
cretion sell at public auction so much of the land grant as
shall be necessary to satisfy the interest on the bonds or the
contribution to the sinking fund so in default. Or the trus
tee may upon requisition and indemnity sell all or any part of
the land grant at public auction and apply the proceeds f ir s t
to payment of over-due interest and n e x t to payment of the
principal of the bonds.
In case of default in interest for one y e a r, then the prin
cipal of the bonds shall at the election of the trustee become
immediately due and payable. But a m a jo r ity in interest of
the bondholders may, in writing or by a vote of a meeting
duly held, in s tr u c t the trustee in such case to declare the
principal due or to waive the right so to declare, or may
annul or reverse the election of the trustee.
Upon default for s ix m on th s in payment of principal or in
terest or sinking fund, it shall be the d u ty of the trustee, upon
requisition in writing signed by holders of not less than oneq u a rte r in amount of the outstanding bonds and upon suffi
cient indemnity, to proceed to enforce the rights of the bond
holders either by the exercise of the powers specifically granted
by the mortgage or by suits in equity or at law, as the trustee
under advice of counsel shall deem most effectual, subject to the
power of a majority in interest of the bondholders to instruct
the trustee to waive the default or to enforce their rights. No
bondholder shall have any right of action hereunder without
first giving the trustee notice of the default, requesting it to
act, and indemnifying it against loss.
L a n d S ales —All proceeds of land sales after deducting the
expenses of the trust in respect to said lands are “ inviolably
pledged” to the payment f ir s t of any interest on the bonds
not met by the earnings of the road and second of the prin
cipal of the bonds.
S in k in g F u n d .—L it e r the year 1885 a sinking fund, includ
ing the proceeds from land sales, shall be applied to the pur
chase of bonds at or below 1 1 0 and interest, or to their re
demption when drawn by lot at 110 and interest. This sink
ing fund shall receive yearly a sum equal to one per cent upon
the aggregate of the principal of all the bonds that shall have
been issued under the mortgage with the accumulations of
interest thereon. Bonds paid shall be held alive, drawing in
terest for the sinking fund, but shall be stamped, “Received
for the sinking fund and no longer negotiable and transfer
able.” No registered bonds shall be called for payment until
all coupon bonds shall have been called.

Norfolk & Western.—Dispatches from Norfolk on the 22d
said there were nearly fifty large schooners and barges in
ort waiting their turn to load cargoes of Pocahontas coal,
esides a large run of steamers receiving their regular sup
plies. The Norfolk & Western Railroad is bringing enormous
quantities of coal to the piers, Monday’s deliveries being
about 30,000 tons. The working force at the mines is more
than doubled and the railroad company is chartering extra
motive power.
Ohio Southern.—The stockholders at a meeting at Springfield, Ohio, on the 22d inst., authorized a consolidated mort
gage for 8 8 ,0 0 0 , 0 0 0 to provide for prior bonds and other pur
poses. Under the mortgage 5 per cent 50-year gold bonds
may be issued.
Pecos Talley.—The Pecos Valley Railroad Co. have issued
a folder illustrated with photogravures showing the wonder
ful results of irrigation in the Pecos Valley, New Mexico. It
is about 4 years since the work of reclamation and settlement
of these lands were begun. By the construction of dams and
extensive reservoirs along the Pecos River for a distance of 17
miles, 250,000 acres of land have been made productive. The
contract has been let for the construction work on the exten
sion of this road, which is to be built from Eddy, N. M., north
to Roswell, 80 miles. The road runs through a fertile district
of irrigated land, and will be completed next Septemt er. J.
J. Hagerman, Colorado Springs, is President of the company.
A map of the road is published in the I n v e s t o r s ’ S u p p l e
m ent.
Pittsburg Akron & Western.—At Akron, Ohio, on the
24th inst., in the Court of Common Pleas, a decree of fore
closure and sale of the Pittsburg Akron & Western was en
tered on the application of the Central Trust Co. trustee, un
der the first mortgage dated April 1, 1890. No coupons have
ever been paid on the bonds.
Savannah Americas & Montgomery.—A plan for the reor
ganization of this company has been formulated by the Balti
more bondholders’ committee. Tbe plan provides for the
extension of the road from its present terminus at Lyons to
Savannah, 74 miles. New five per cent bonds will be issued
limited to $15,000 a mile, pref. 6 per cent stock at tbe rate of
S10,000 a mile and common at the rate of $15,000 a mile. The
old firsts are offered $800 new firsts, $800 new preferred and
$500 common for each $1,000 bond.
The bonds issued under tne mortgage will cover all the
property of the company whatsoever, including $500,000 car
trusts and $208,000 Montgomery Terminal bonds not covered
by the present first mortgage. Of these first mortgage bonds,
issued at the rate of $15,000 per mile, $5,000 per mile will be
five per cent preference bonds, redeemable at the pleasure of the
company at 103 and interest after three years. Upon retire
ment of the preference bonds there may be issued in their
stead a like amount of main first mortgage bonds, so that all
of the bonds of the company will then be upon precisely the
same footing in the one mortgage limited to $15,000 per mile.
The preference bonds, or their proceeds when sold, will beused
for the extension of the road to Savannah by construction or
purchase (74 miles), for the retirement of receivers' certi
ficates, court charges and other expenses of reorganization,
and of all prior lien bonds, supply claims, &c., and for the
retirement of all car trusts and Montgomery Terminal
bonds. Deposits of the first mortgage bonds under the plan
will be received up to May 31 by the Mercantile Trust & De
posit Company of Baltimore.
—During the year 1893 Kelley’s Island, Ohio, yielded 779,720
barrels of lime and 278,457 tons of limestone, and yet, accord
ing to '.he reports of eminent experts, the supply is sufficient
lor 140 years at least. Binds of the Kelley Island Lime &
Transport Company are advertised by Messrs. W. J. Hayes &
Sons in our State and Ci:y Department.
—Messrs. Edward Sweet & Co. announce that they will buy

Speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market still
avoids new investments and prices lack support. Evidences
of a more bullish feeling among local operators have devel
oped during the current week, based upon an increased move
ment of cotton for export and a larger share of attention
secured from domestic spinners, but the purchase of contracts
for both the old and new crop months was very meagre and
at every rise in price there was a noticeable effort to sell out
“long” engagements. The impression in regard to growing
crop has been favorable. On Saturday the Liverpool market
remained clt sed in observance of a holiday, but here the tone
was stronger and 5 @ 6 points advance obtained in conse
quence of “ shorts” covering for profit attend of week, Busi
ness was resumed at the foreign market on Monday
upon a firm basis which found temporary reflection here,
but before the close an attempt of the longs to sell entirely
neutralized an early advance of 7 points. Tuesday’s market
was stiffened a few points by reports of better demand from
spinners and exporters but did not hold the gain. On Wednes
day an advance of ten points was made and held to the close,
upon the renewal of rumors regarding increased home and
foreign demand and partial confirmation of the stories. Y es
terday opened a trifle higher, but some of the extensive
holders of long engagements seeking to realize, there was a
sharp break off in value. To-day the opening was better but
demand proved very limited from all sources and final feeling
proved tame. Cotton on the spot has sold fairly and closed
at 734c. for middling uplands.
The total sales for for ward delivery for the week are 493,600
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
9,833 bales, including 6,150 for export, 2,6S3 for consumption.

to us this evening indicate that the temperature has
been too low during the greater part of the week in
many sections of the South, tending to check the de
velopment of the cotton plant. Little damage resulted,
however, and as the week closes the weather has turned more
favorable. The rainfall has been light as a rule, but there are
only a few complaints of lack of moisture. Our reports from
Texas denote that the crop in that State is doing very well as
a rule.

weather all the week. The thermometer has ranged from (53

cultivation of cotton in these Provinces has, on the whole, very little
commercial importance as compared with the cotton crops of other
Provinces. The Chittagong Hill Tracts is the ODly district in which,

A considerable portion of the Sea Island cotton shipped to
foreign ports goes via New York, and some small amounts via
Boston and Baltimore. Instead of including this cotton for
the week, 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, See. The details of the
shipments of Sea Island cotton for the week will be found
under the head “ Shipping News,” on a subsequent page.

Oats for future delivery have attracted a fair amount of at
tention and prices have steadily advanced on moderate buy
ing, both for “short” and “long” account, stimulated by the
unfavorable prospects for the growing crop. Business in the
spot market has been checked by light offerings and an ad
vance in prices. The sales yesterday included No. 2 mixed at
403^c. in elevator and No. 2 white at 4 l%c. in elevator. The
market to-day was weaker under realizing sales by longs and
better weather at the West. The spot market was quiet but
steady. The sales included No. 2 mixed a 4034c. in elevator
and No. 2 white at 4434c. in elevator.

The w eath er d u ring th e p a st week has exercised an u n
favorable influence over an alread y du ll m ark e t, an d the a g
g reg ate business reported in both seasonable m erchandise and
in staples for c u rre n t consum ption, or in fancies o r staples for
th e fall season has fallen decidedly below an average. In the
form er the dem and com pares un fav o rab ly w ith late weeks and
in the la tte r w ith th e doings o f a norm al season. The lim ited
n u m b er of buyers in th e m ark et ju s t now is an unfavorable
feature. In a n o rd in ary season th e atten d an ce w ould be quite
im p o rtan t, especially of S o u th ern buyers, a n d considerable
engagem ents w ould be effected, or be u n d er negotiation,
fo r fall supplies, to say n o th in g of supplem entary
req uirem ents to piece o u t season’s necessities. There is
som e business being done for fall, chiefly th ro u g h salesmen
on the road, b u t it is in the ag g reg ate of an insignificant
c h a racter and a late a n d un satisfacto ry opening m ust be re
ported. The tone of th e general m ark et is w ith o u t im prove
m e n t in any p a rticu lar, and w hile th ere c a n n o t be reported
activ e pressure to sell, the tendency of prices is in m any in
