than that indicated in the above summary.
An important increase in the output of iron oc
curred during the past month. The usual monthly
compilation of the “ Iron Age” shows that on the 1st
of November the gross capacity per week of the
furnaces in blast was 228,935 tons, against only
215,635 tons per week on October 1. This is an
augmentation, it will be observed, at the rate
of about 700,000 tons per year. The produc
tion has been expanding mouth by month since
the 1st of August, but the rate of growth in
the preceding months was much smaller than that
recorded for October. As against the weekly pro
duct now of 228,935 tons, the amount August 1 was
206,777 tons, and the difference between the two
amounts reflects an addition to the output at the
rate of l i million tous per year. Still, even after this
expansion the production is not as large as it was six
months ago, when the capacity per week of the active
furnaces wu- reported at over 234,000 tons. Moreover,
judging from the reports as to stocks, consumption is
still running ahead of the production. The “ Age” com
putes the aggregate'©! furnace stocks on November 1
only 586,487 tons, against 621,728 tons October 1, and
823,382 tons June 1.
Money on call, representing bankers'’ balances, has
loaned at the Stock Exchange at 4 per cent and at I f
per cent during the week, with the bulk of the busi
ness and the average 2 per cent.
The higher rate
was recorded on Wednesday afternoon, for a brief in
terval, and it was attributed to a sudden demand in
duced by the active and broad market for stocks and
bonds. On the following days, however, though the
trading in the stock market was larger, the rate for
money did not rise above 24 per cent. Bank officials
look for a better demand for money at the Stock Ex
change as the result of the increased business and also
the employment of money in loans upon sterling col
lateral. Banks and trust companies quoted I f per
cent as the minimum for their loans on Monday but
on Wednesday they marked up their rates to 2 per
in and some obtained 3 per oont on that day. Time
money is in better demand, though the supply seems
abundant. Bates are 2 per cent for thirty days, 24
per cent for sixty days and 3 per cent for ninety days
to hi x months on good Stock Exchange collateral. The
offerings of commercial paper are increasing but, at
the same time, the demand is good, not only from city
but from out-of-town buyers. Kates are 3 per cent
for sixty to ninety day endorsed bills receivable, 3 f
to 4 per cent for prime and 4 to 5 per cent for good
four to six months* single names. The ruling rate for
prime -ingle name paper is 3f per cent, though there
arc- s me names which sell at 3J per cent.
Bankers report a very confident feeling among their
©orrespondents as the result of the sound money vic
tory, and especially the large majority secured in the
United States Senate. Business in the West and
[Von. LXVI1,
South is increasing, and some slight improvement is
noticeable in the Middle States and in the East. The
movement of money by the banks has been chiefly to
the Northwest this week, and the transfers through
the Treasury have been principally to New Orleans.
Lust week's bank statement was a surprise, owing to
the fact that it showed a loss of $3,917,700 specie and
of $1,272,500 legal tenders, together $5,190,200. This
loss could not he accounted for by any known move
ment of money, and the most reasonable explanation
was that it was due to the financing of the recently
issued new Tobacco stock. One notable feature of
the statement is that the loans and the deposits are
now the highest on record, the former exceeding the
previous maximum September 3 by $6,671,200, and
showing a gain of $43,272,300 compared with October
1, this improvement being largely due to loans upon
long sterling collateral.
Deposits are higher by
$4,073,600 than the maximum previously recorded on
August 13, but there has been a gain of $68,334,100
compared with September 24. The deposits of pub
lic money in the specially-designated depository banks
are increasing, and they now amount to $95,879,329.
The political tension in Europe seems to be greatly
relaxed, aud the Fasboda incident maybe regarded as
closed. The British admiral in Cretan waters has en
forced his order requiring the evacuation of Crete
by the Turks. This event was referred to by Lord
Salisbury, in his speech at the Lord Mayor’s banquet
on Wednesday. He said: “ Patient application, com
bined with the moral strength of Europe, has at last
succeeded in fulfilling the promise given to the
Cretans of giving them autonomy under the suzer
ainty of the Sultan.” It is reported that Great
Britain, France and Italy have accepted Russia’s pro
posal to appoint Prince George of Greece High Com
missioner o f the Powers in the island of Crete.
The Bank of England minimum rate of discount
remains unchanged at 4 per cent. The Imperial Bank
of Germany advanced its rate of discount on Tuesday
to 54 per cent. The cable reports discounts of sixty
to ninety-day bank bills in London 3f@ 3J per cent.
The open market rate at Paris is 3 per cent and at
Berlin and Frankfort it is 4|@5 per cent. According
to our special cable from London the Bank of Eng
land gained £147,889 bullion during the week and
held £32,020,436 at the close of the week. Our cor
respondent further advises us that the gain was due
to the imports of £641,000 (of which £296,000 were
from France, £50,000 were from the Cape, £20,000
from Austialia and £275,000 bought in the open mar
ket), to the export of £105,000 (of which £100,000
were to Germany and £5,000 miscellaneous), and to
shipments of £388,000 net to the interior of Great
Britain.
There are no specially new developments regarding
the treatment by foreign bankers of cable transfers
as chocks, to which exclusive reference was made in
this column last week. All the foreign bankers, with
one exception, are affixing a two-eent stamp to these
cable orders, or memoranda, instead of a four-cent ad
valorem stamp. The attention of the' Commissioner of
Internal Revenue has been called to the fact, but it
is not expected that a decision will be made by the
Department at present and it is probable that the ad
vice of the Attorney-General will be asked by the
Commissioner. Trading in these memoranda has
been quite active during the week. Competition in
the foreign exchange business is increasing. In addi-

tion to the two national banks in this city which have
established foreign exchange departments, one more
bank has this week made arrangements to conduct
such business. The tone of the market has been easier,
and it was notably so after the election holiday. The
mails on Wednesday morning brought a large supply
of commercial bills, chiefly cotton. There were liberal
offerings of grain drafts and, during the day, purchases
of stocks for European account still further aug
mented the supply of bills, and as the demand was
light, rates yielded on the following day. The slight
flurry in money on call on Wednesday had some in
fluence, inducing speculators in exchange to unload
part of their holdings, fearing that money might
grow more active, thereby endangering their profits.
Though there has been some buying of long sterling
for investment there is a disposition to operate cau
tiously in view of possible important changes in the
discount markets abroad and in the monetary situa
tion here.
There is reported to be a very large
amount of investment bills now being carried in this
city, and these would prove a serious menace to the
exchange market in case of a relaxation in the Euro
pean financial tension. Gold arrivals from Europe
during the week have been only $73,882.
Though the range for nominal rates for exchange
remained unaltered during the greater part of the
week, at from 4 83 to 4 83} for sixty day and from
4 86} to 4 87 for sight. Brown Bros., Ileidelbach,
Ickelheimcr & Co. and Lazard Freres reduced their
posted rates on Thursday. On Friday further reduc
tions made rates uniformly 4 83 for sixty day and
4 86} for sight. Rates for actual business opened on
Monday unchanged compared with those at the close
on Friday of last week, at 4 82}@ 1 82£ for long, 4 85}
@ 4 86 for short and 4 86}@ 4 86} for cable transfers.
The tone was easy though not quotably lower. On
Wednesday the market continued easy, but the only
change in rates for actual business was a reduction of
one-quarter of a cent in cables to 4 86}@ 4 864. On
Thursday the tone was weak, in consequence of a light
demand and a pressure of bills, and rates for actual
business were reduced one-quarter of a cent for long
sterling and cables, to 4 82}@ 4 824 for the former and
4 86@4 86} for the latter, while short sterling was
reduced half a cent to 4 8 5 }@ t 85}. The tone was
firmer on Friday with an advance of one-quarter of a
cent in short sterling and in cable transfers. The fol
lowing shows daily posted rates for exchange by some
of the leading drawers.

THE ELECTIONS.
Tuesday's Congressional elections, taken as a whole,
amount to a decided victory for the Administration
and its party. The Fifty-fifth House of Representa
tives, chosen in 1896, contained a clear Republican
majority of 52 votes over the combined opposition.
The Fifty-sixth House, chosen this week, will contain
a Republican majority of about 15. On the other
hand, the present United States .Senate contains a Re
publican majority of only 5, whereas the numerous re
versals of majorities in State legislatures ensure for
the next Senate an Administration majority not much,
if any, less than 20. The significance of this general
result will be apparent to those who know that in
practically all States where Congressional seats have
thus changed hands, the successful party based itf
canvass on opposition to depreciated money, and that
the Senate’s conservatism is now assured for years to
come.
But the vote of this week is peculiar in some
other ways, which make it one of the most note
worthy results in our recent electoral history. The
citizen is often perplexed after an important
election by the readiness and fluency with which
political oracles explain the result by this or that
specific cause. The motives ascribed for the majori
ties may be confused or conflicting, but each adherent
of a particular policy or oandidato is ready to point
oat the manner in which his own special object of
interest has governed the general result. It is our
wish, in this review of last Tuesday’s achievements,
to base our examination on some larger general prin
ciples.
In the first place no study of this year’s Congres
sional elections can be at all satisfactory which does
not take account of the well-known tendency to polit
ical reaction two years after the Presidential vote.
This tendency has been so uniform throughout our
history that it may be described not only as a polit
ical probability but as a political certainty. It will
bo remembered that not even the most optim istic
leaders of the Administration party predicted at the
978
JL'HK CHRONICLE.
opening of the canvass the return of the full majority
existing in the present Congress. Their highest esti
mate was t hat t he majority would be reduced nearly oneha! f. The causes for the tendency thus officially rec
ognized are not at all obscure. The political reaction
itmv at times amount to a positive rebuke by the
people for actual bad government; there are instances
of the kind in our past history, as in that of every
other representative system. But the reaction may,
and often does, arise without any such extreme prov
ocation.
No Presidential canvass passes without the making
of promises which are mutually conflicting. Party
leaders and stump speakers will invariably, in the
heat of a Presidential contest, promise iu behalf of
their party such policy as is best pleasing to the con
rtitnency immediately addressed.
But since the
wishes of these constituencies will differ from one
another—the East front the West it may be, the cities
from the country, or the manufacturing from the
agricultural districts—it follows that of the numerous
pledges made some must be left unredeemed. We
doubt if any Presidential canvass has ever been car
ried through without such conflicting promises, But
it i- easy to see that while support for the Presidential
candidate may by such a process be attracted in all
parts of the country, there is left after election the
absolute certainty of displeasing, and perhaps of
alienating, certain important elements of the Admin
istration party. Once elected, the new Administra
tion and its Congressional adherents must adopt some
definite lines of policy. But when its campaign rep
resenfcatives have promised one thing in one sec
tion of the nation and something incompatible with
it in another, the result is perfectly evident.
We state this as a matter of general principle, ap
plying in the United States as well to one political
party as to another, and applying as well in Great
Britain, for instance, as in the United States. No
other theory, we think, can explain the unvarying re
currence of reaction in our so-called “ mid-term’
elections. We doubt if most people are aware that
there lias not been one Congressional election during
the present generation (the exceptional vote of 1866
alone excepted) when the party successful in the
Presidential vote has not lost ground in Congress by
the vote of two years later.
More than this,
the remarkable fact is witnessed in the his
tory of Congress that from the reconstruction
period to the present year the opposition party has
gained an actual Mouse of Representatives majority
in every “ mid-term” election hut one. That one
exception, it may be added, was the exception that
proves the rule ; for the Administration chosen iu
1881 was unable, because of an opposition Senate, to
fix its plans in legislation. Therefore it had not
alienated its supporters to the usual extent, and al
though its House majority was greatly reduced by the
1886 elections, it still retained control.
from ibis review of our own precedent, it will at
once bo seen not only that a reduction in the House
majorities of the present Administration by last Tues
days vote followed an unvarying rule, but that an
aotnal reversal of majorities would not have been at
all unusual. The question then arises—since such
reactions are inevitable and in a certain sense auto
matic—how are we to ti3e such results for a test of
public sentiment on national issues? This is not alto
gether a simple matter; more particularly in a Con
[VOL, LXVII.
gressional campaign like that of the present year,
when no single and overshadowing issue has been pre
sented to the voters for their decision. In 1894,
every voter understood that he was passing judgment
on the action of the Fifty-third Congress on the cur
rency; in 1890, the question of the tariff was squarely
submitted to the voters
In each of those years the
resultant opposition majority in the House was very
large, and the majorities were accepted as an unmis
takable verdict of the people. This year it lias been
hard to say at any time what was the political issue at
stake in the canvass. Questions of State and local
policy have been entangled to an unusual degree with
questions of national administration. Even where na
tional politics were granted the foremost place, ap
peals on totally different grounds have been made to
voters in different sections of the country. The ad
ministration newspapers and canvassers have vari
ously asked support on the ground of a successful
war: of a critical peace negotiation ; of the party’ s
championship of sound money. Similarly, the op p o
sition has rested its case on the several grounds
of the blunders in the War Department’s care of
our soldiers; of the dangers of a colonial expan
sion policy; and on the old plea of 1896 for free sil
ver coinage.
To read any distinct conclusions from the results of
such a canvass, it is necessary to consider separately
the various sections and interests of the country.
Reviewed in this way, the first and most striking
phenomenon of the elections is the fact that while the
opposition gained ground materially in the East it lost
overwhelmingly in the West. For instance, the four
States of Kansas, South Dakota, California and Wash
ington have long been classed as doubtful. The vote of
1896 gave the Democrats and Populists ten more Rep
resentatives from those States than the Republicans
obtained. But last Tuesday’s vote, it appears, so far
shifted majorities that the Administration Representa
tives from these same States exceed by twenty the
successful opposition candidates. Here is an actual
gain of 30 votes in Congress from one group of West
ern States. As against this gain, let us observe the
returns of three typical Eastern States—Massachu
setts, New York and New Jersey
In 1896, there
were chosen as Representatives in these three S ates
47 more Republicans than Democrats; last Tuesday’s
vote so far reduced this Administration membership
that the Republican Congressmen from the three
states noticed exceed the opposition by only 7. In
other words, the Administration party has by the poll
in that section of the country lost 40 votes in Con
gress.
Now it appears to us that these diametrically oppo
site results, far from confusing the significance of
Tuesday's vote, make it much plainer. The most
obvious comment will be that the opposition lost
ground this year where its leaders were known to be
committed to free silver coinage, and gained decidedly
where the party’s genuine sentiment was known to be
against k. In each of the Granger States whose re
sults we have summarized, the opposition party in
serted in its platforms distinct adherence to the free
silver theory. In all but one of the three Eastern
•States to which we have similarly referred, the oppo
sition conventions refused deliberately to incorporate
free coinage in their platforms, and in the one State
which did revive the “ silver plank,” the free coinage
policy was repudiated by the opposition candidates
N ovember 12, 1898. J
THE CHRONICLE.
who have since received majorities. Under such cir
cumstances, the heavy opposition gains in the East
and its almost equally heavy losses in the West teach
the plainest lesson conceivable. A party which, in a year
when gains were normally to he expected, was over
whelmed in every quarter where it proclaimed adher
ence to a given policy, is not likely to fix that policy
on its standard in the next Presidential canvass.
It will similarly be remarked that the Administra
tion gains were made in sections of the country to
which the great and profitable harvests of the last
three years have brought prosperity. In this regard,
another maxim of political history is verified, which
foreshadows support to any Administration in power
during a period of good times. The elections of 1879
and 1880 were perhaps the most striking illustrations
of this principle which our history can provide. But
it must be remembered that this argument cannot
supersede the other argument based on party policies.
Prosperity in the farming district would in any case
have helped an Administration party in its appeal for
the farmers’ votes. But this could happen only be
cause the farmer, in his hour of prosperity, was ready
to endorse the Administration’ s policy; and in the view
of the Granger States, that policy has distinctly been
maintenance of the sound money standard.
One other notorious piece of evidence should be
mentioned corroborative of the foregoing conclu
sion. We refer to the fact that in the Eastern and
Middle States, where the opposition distinctly ig
nored the silver issue, numerous leaders in the Demo
cratic gold party publicly announced their determ
ination to vote with their party. In the West all of
the developments in this respect were of a strictly
opposite character; the standard-bearer of the gold
Democrats in the last Presidential election is only one,
but a notable and highly significant, instance of the
policy the gold Democrats adopted throughout the
West. In the East many of the leaders returned to
their old party, but we are knowing to the fact that
a considerable proportion of those who deserted in
1896 did not return. In the West they voted as a
body, substantially as they did in 1896.
It is not so easy to read from the returns the voters’
verdict on the Spanish war, or on the policy of colo
nial expansion. It was in the East, where the great
est number of volunteer soldiers came home sick, that
the opposition vote was large ; the West saw little of
that side of the war. On the colonial issue there has
been something not unlike a sectional difference of
opinion.
In general it has apneared during the
canvass that the “ expansion issue ” was unpopular in
New England, that it divided public opinion in the
larger Eastern States, but that in the Middle West it
was pretty widely approved and on the Pacific Coast was
endorsed with great enthusiasm. Even the California
Democratic State Convention of August 18 approved
the policy of territorial acquisitions in the Philippines
as plainly as the Massachusetts Democratic Conven
tion of October 4 condemned it.
1 he mere fact, however, that the Congressional
elections as a whole have resulted in what is recog
nized as a victory for the Administration will prob
ably be accepted for an indorsement of the Adminis
tration s foreign policy, so far as it has been thus far
unfolded. This we regard as a highly fortunate result.
It is not possible for any public man to claim, with
the net results of the Congressional elections, that
the American people have rushed wildly and over
979
whelmingly into a demand for empire. But it cer
tainly is possible to affirm that the people have not ex
pressed a disapproval ef the pending negotiations such
as would embarrass the Peace Commission. Undoubt
edly the electoral results have been awaited with
much curiosity by European statesmen. They will
easily conclude from the returns that while opinions
among our people differ widely as to the prudent pol
icy to adopt in the control of our new possessions,
there is no dissension such as would prevent our Gov
ernment from maintaining in the vexed diplomatic
problems its strong and dignified position. Further
more, it must be remembered that the question how
our new acquisitions shall be governed or disposed of
will be settled, not alone by the Administration, but
by the present Congress.
TEXAS RAILROADS AND THE RAILROAD
COMMISSION.
The railroads of Texas are engaged in a new con
test with the Railroad Commission of the State, or
rather the old contest on the subject of rates is again
being waged in the courts.
Early last month the
Commission framed a new schedule of rates on cotton
traffic, materially lower than the previously existing
charges. The new tariff was to have become effective
on the 2nd of this month, but on October 31 Judge
McCormick, in the United States Circuit Court at
Dallas, on the application of the bond holders of the
various roads, issued a temporary restraining order
enjoining the roads from putting into effect the new
tariff and also enjoining the Commission and the A t
torney-General of the State from enforcing or attempt
ing to enforce such tariff or the penalties connected
therewith. Moreover, notice was given that on N o
vember 10th application would be made for an injunc
tion against all the tariff schedules of the Commission,
though at the request of the Attorney-General the
date for this injunction hearing was subsequently
postponed until November 21.
The case of the Texas roads, as is known, is one of
peculi-r hardships. It will be remembered that when
the Commission first exercised the right to fix rates,
an injunction against it was secured, and that on ap
peal the U. S. Supreme Court in May 1894 sustained
the constitutionality of the law creating the Commis
sion, but declared the rates which it sought to
put into effect unjust and unreasonable, because non
compensatory, and upheld the action of the lower
courts in enjoining their enforcement. Since then
the roads have tried in every way to pursue a concili
atory course and have yielded compliance to many dif
ferent orders of the Commission. But the latest pro
mulgated tariffs taken together with those previously
established threaten such a serious reduction of the
revenues of the lines, according to the statements
and calculations of the railroad officials, that to adopt
them would be equivalent to sacrificing eompletely
the interests of the security holders. Indeed in the
bill of complaints the averment is made that the tar
iffs and charges already established and those sought
to be established will reduce earnings to a greater
amount upon the same tonnage of freight transported
than did the rates which the Commission was enjoined
from enforcing at the outset of its career. Conse
quently the result must be, it is declared, a serious
and irreparable impairment of the value of the prop
erty and plant of the roads and of the interest of the
security holders therein.
.

THE CHKONKJLE.
In .1 frying the matter to the courts the railroads
nre ting collectively; and they have evidently taken
the step with great reluctance. The fact that they
have put uto for m all the previous schedules of the
Commission for a period of four years is evidence of
this. After the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court
IS
.ready referred to, the first of the tariffs
prepared by the Commission was promulgated on
August 15 of that year aud went into effect twenty
days thereafter. From that time on the Commission
has kept activelx at work, and new tariff schedules
hate followed one another at very short intervals—
some special in their provisions, others general, but all
tending to cat down the revenues of the carriers.
The Commission has taken no pains to conceal the
effect of these tariff changes. In the report for 189f>
for instance, writing under date of December 26
1893, it points with pride to the fact that “ by the
reductions made by this Commission, on this com
modity alone [oottonj, during that year [the year
ending dune 30 1S95J about *825,000 was saved to
the people."
The railroads accepted the action of the Commis
sion as to these various reductions in rates, though
they knew that the effect must be injurious to the
properties, for a variety of reasons. They desired, as
already noted, to adopt a conciliatory attitude. They
no doubt also thought it would he good policy from a
public standpoint not to oppose the Commission un
less it became absolutely necessary to do so. They
wished furthermore to give the schedules of the Com
mission a fair trial, thinking that the results might
perhaps be more favorable than their sober judgment
led them to expect. Lastly, they were in hopes that
with the lapse of time the Commission might be in
d u e-! tu modify its course— that when the members
saw that the new tariffs were working to the obvious
harm i.f the roads and their security holders, either by
actually decreasing their revenues or by preventing
that increase in the same which should come with
the growth of tonnage and the revival of prosperity,
they .could recognize that- justice and fair dealing re
quired tiie adoption of a different policy and act ac
cordingly. Instead of that, and on top of it all, the
Commission has now ordered a further reduction in
cotton rate more serious than any previous reduction
and which in the language of the bill of complaint
will “ most materially and disastrously affect the
r< venues" of the roads. In self protection, therefore,
the companies find themselves obliged to take steps
to check the Commission by legal means. We say
“ the companies;'' technically the actions are brought
by the trustees for the bondholders, and. the cornpanic are made defendants the same as in the cases
which were carried to the Supreme Court,
We think there will be universal regret that the
occasion should have arisen for renewed recourse to
tho Courts, though, as we have seen, the carrying
intercut had no alternative. No doubt in making its
latest reduction the Commission has been impelled by
a desire to help the cotton producer. It must be
admitted, too, that tho position of the cotton grower
now ;
ry much h -- favorable than it was before the
recent heavy decline in the price of the staple. Mid
dling Cui
otson at Galveston was qnoted last night
at on li cents per pound. Contrasted with the price
of ? 2-16 cents at the corresponding date in 1896
and of 8f cents in 1895, this marks an important
shrinkage, and under the circumstances it is easy to
[VOL. L X V II
see that to the producer in the interior, who vealizes
only what remains of the Galveston price after de
ducting the freight charges to that point, a reduction
in such charges would naturally be welcome. It is
evideut, likewise, that in such a situation the carriers
will be promoting their own interests by making all
the concessions they can to the producer in the way
of lower transportation rates so as to offset as far as
possible the decline in price. But it is equally obvi
ous that there is a point beyond which the roads can
not go; and their power of extending relief in this
way has been greatly impaired through the many re
ductions in rates which the Commission has ordered
in the past.
If at a time when the planter is in distress the Com
mission should seek a temporary moderate reduction in
rates, to be effective only so long as the period of dis
tress lasted, we are sure it would find the roads ready
and willing to co-operate. But that unfortunately is
not its method now and has not been in the past. It
has pursued the persistent but short-sighted policy of
contiuous reductions— in good times and bad times
alike. One illustration will suffice. The Commission in
1894 made the famous reduction in cotton rates which,
according to its own statement, put $825,000 in the
pockets of the planters. The price then was low—
only 5 cents at Galveston. But the next year (1895)
the price went up again to 8 f cents (we are givingthe
November figures); did the Commission then restore
the old rates, and allow the carriers to get some of
the advantage resulting from the higher price ? Far
from it. Instead, it has made further repeated re
visions in the direction of a lower scale— if not whole
sale revisions, at least partial revisions; and now
follows all this up by another general cut, which if
acquiesced in by the roads would mean little short of
ruin to the security holders.
It should be noted that low though the price of
cotton now is, particularly as compared with the
quotations in 1896 and 1895, yet it differs very little
from the price in that other low period, 1894, (the
comparison being for Galveston 4$ cents against
5 cents), when the Commission ordered the celebrated
reduction already referred to.
Nevertheless, it is
reasonable to suppose the roads would be ready to
make a further contribution in the same way for the
relief of the producer, provided they could be as
sured the concession would not be regarded as per
manent, aud provided a chance were given to make up
the resulting losses through slightly higher charges
in other directions. It is to be remembered that
a cut in cotton rates to Texas points means
a corresponding reduction in inter-Sfcate rates, since
the two classes of rates are related; and a further cut
of that kind therefore is a serious matter. Outside
the planting interest, however, business prosperity
rules in Texas, and naturally too the general revival
of trade all over the United States must tend further
to promote trade activity in that important com
monwealth. If therefore some of the reductions on
other commodities could bo rescinded, the way might
be paved for moderate and temporary concessions in
cotton rates.
One fact stands out prominently on a careful study
of the matter. Further arbitrary and wholesale re
ductions in rates are out of the question. The con
dition of the properties forbids that. The position
of the Texas roads has always been an unfortunate
1one, and there has been no change for the better, but
N ovember 12 18&8. I
THE CHRONICLE.
rather the contrary, since the Commission law has
been passed. We do not intend to go over the ground
we have covered so often in the past, bat it is well to
recall that there is to-day not a prominent road in
Texas which is paying dividends. Even among the
minor roads there are only one or two that enjoy the
distinction of giving anything to their stockholders
and these only because their old bonded obligations
have recently been wiped out through foreclosure and
given place to stock; the Texas Central belongs to
that class.
Moreover, in turning the leaves of the
Commission’s yearly report and scrutinizing the an
nual returns of the different roads, no one can help
being struck with the ominous way in which the
word “ deficit” stares one in the face from page after
page of the report.
The Commission seeks to justify its action by un
dertaking to say that the real value of the properties
is far less than that appearing on the books and
the printed returns. To show to what length the
Commission has carried this idea, we may note that
in its last report it presented a table giving the
aggregate of stock and bonds outstanding on 8,964:
miles of road at 369 million dollars ($369,623,186),
whereas its estimate of the real value was only
$141,192,215. The weight to be attached to this esti
mate (the Commission calls it the “ ascertained” value)
will appear when we say that it is equal to less than
$16,000 per mile of road.
But even on a capitalization thus reduced over 228
million dollars, what rate of return is the Commission
able to show ? Only o ’69 per cent. The effect of the
lower schedules of rates enforced by the Board is also
very apparent. In 1895 the Commission reported 7-45
per cent earned on the “ ascertained” value. The
very next year this dropped to 5’07 per cent, and in
1897 the recovery was only to 5’69 percent. Moreover,
the larger systems all show very much smaller ratios
than this— the Texas & Pacific, according to the
Commission’s figures, records only 4T4 per cent
earned, the Missouri Kansas & Texas only 3-63 per
cent, the Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe 3*90 per cent
and the St. Louis & Southwestern but 1-21, all on a
capitalization cut down one-half to three-quarters.
These and other similar figures that might be cited
make it evident not only that a further general lower
ing of ratt s is beyond the power of the roads to grant
but also that the Commission is sure to be defeated in
its efforts in the courts, as it was on the former occa
sion. Why would it not be much more rational and
sensible for the Commission and the railroads to
come together on some such ground as that above
suggested, the Commission recalling its ruinous cotton
tariff and also the other schedules operating in the
same way, and the roads undertaking to determine
for themselves what concessions they can make for the
time being to the cotton grower without inviting dis
aster if they are not hampered with orders command
ing the general scaling-down of rates.
RAILROAD GROSS EARNINGS FOR
OCTOBER.
Notwithstanding a number of drawbacks affecting
adversely special road3 and groups of roa<^, railroad
gross earnings a3 a whole continue to record satisfac
tory improvement over the results for the correspond
ing period last year. And the improvement is all the
more noteworthy as comparison is with pretty good
981
earnings in 1897. Altogether 128 roads have contrib
uted returns to our compilation for the month of
October, and these show a gain of $2,628,854 or 4 -91
per cent over the same month of last year. This fol
lows a gain o f $4,602,179 or 8'97 per cent in October
1897. Thus the showing is a very encouraging oneThe following carries the comparison back a num

While the leading conditions were nearly all favor
able there were some circumstances and influences,
as already indicated, of an opposite nature. General
trade was held under restraint by reason of the near
approach of the November elections and the import
ant consequences dependent upon the same.
Still it
seems fair to say that the volume of trade was heavier
this year than last.
Yellow fever in the South was »
harmful influence, the epidemic growing in severity
the early part of tho month, and as a consequence the
quarantine restrictions were also extended and more
rigorously enforced. The latter par, of the month,how
ever, frosts and cold weather put an end to the disease,
leading to the relaxation and removal of the quaran
tines. Moreover, as yellow fever also prevailed last
year and in much the same part of the South, itis open to question whether there was much difference,
in this respect between tho two years. It cannot be
said that the demoralization in rates was increased by
the ruling of the U. S. Supreme Court adverse to thelegality of the Joint Traffic Association, yet the de
moralization could hardly have been more severe in
the territory east of Chicago than it actually was; and
the seeming indifference with which tho decision was
received may be referred to the belief that thiugs in
that respect were already so bad they could hardly b i
any worse.
As far as those controlling influences in the traffic?
of the roads— the grain and cotton movements— are
concerned, both tended to add to the revenues of the
roads. In the grain movement the expansion was
almost entirely in wheat, the other cereals showingonly small additions or positive losses—as a result of
which considerable irregularity is noticeable in the,
returns of the different grain-carrying roads. In'tlie
cotton movement, after the falling off the previous
month arising out of the backwardness of the crop
the shipments during October were of unusual
dimensions, as will be evident when we say that at
the Southern outports the receipts aggregated 1,692,822 bales for the month, against but 1,391,180 bales
in October 1897, though the shipments overland
amounted to only 199,466 bales, against 223,543 bales
in 1897. Besides this some of the Southern trunk
lines still derived important advantages from the
movement of U. S. troops, while on the other hand
in the West the Trans-Mississippi Exposition at
Omaha tended to swell the passenger revenues of the
roads. The Exposition closed on October 31, after
having been open since June 1.
THE CHRONICLE.

Di•aling ispecifically witli me grain movement, mo
whenit roc#tpts ivero fully 10 million bushels larger
than 1HtSl y ear, though nevertheless there was one importamt poi ut, namely Minneapolis, where there was a
doerease ol£ two million bushels. This decrease at
that. point may seem strange in view of the unusual
crop of spiring wheat harvested in the Northwest the
presout ym
*lri<jtlv loo
almost six million bushels.
In corn and oats the

variations at some of the separate points were quite
marked, as will appear from the following detailed

Chicago was favored with enlarged receipts of every
one of the cereals, as will be more clearly apparent
from the following statement giving the figures for
the even month. The receipts of live hogs for the
same month, it will be seen, were also larger than a
year ago, though it is only proper to say that when
we consider live-stock receipts of all kinds the result
i a loss, the deliveries having been only 23,906 car
loads against 21,45) car-loads.

L ondon, Saturday, October 29,1898.
A t the beginning of the week there was a sharp fall in
consols and British railway stocks, and generally there was
a decline in all departments. To some extent the apprehen
sion of war with France was the cause o f this, but to a much
less extent than is generally represented by the London
papers. A ll along the belief has been very general in L o n
don that the French Government would not engage in war.
Firstly, because it is notorious that France is not prepared.
Secondly, because it would be impossible for France to send
reinforcements to Fashoda. And thirdly, because it is known
hat the moment is most unfavorable for Russia to engage inhostilities. Still, the position taken up by the French Mint

isters did cause some uneasiness, and there is no doubt that
a certain number of professional operators sold consols
speculatively as a “ hedge” against other operations.
But the principal cause of the decline was the financial
embarrassments in Berlin and the fear that money might be
come exceedingly scarce and dear. There has been, as pre
viously explained in this correspondence, a mild speculation
for a long time past in Berlin, and the Berlin banks drew
heavily both upon London and upon Paris a couple of
months ago. It is estimated by a good authority that the
acceptances of German bank bills in London amounted to at
the very least 10 millions sterling. Bat during these two
mouths the acceptances have been paid off on a great scale,
and now it is believed that those current here do not exceed
3 millions sterling. On the other hand, the acceptances'in
Paris are estimated at as much as 20 millions sterling. It is
quite possible, of course, that this may be an extravagant
calculation. But it is certain that the acceptances are on a
very large scale.
For a considerable time the rate of interest in Berlin has
been between 8 and 4%: while in Paris it has been little more
than 2£. And the unsettled state of things in France has in
duced ’large numbers of French bankers to invest their
money in all sorts of foreign securities, German bank accept
ances preferably. A t the end of September the speculation
in Berlin broke down and a period of liquidation began.
Then came the rise of the German Imperial Bank rate of dis
count to 5%, that of the Bank of England to 4g and that of
the Bank of France to 3^. Immediately the Bank of England
began to borrow in the open market on a ltrge scale, and at
the same time the usual autumnal outflow of coin and notes
for the interior sec in; while, of coarse, the usual autumnal
demands for abroad had to be met.
Therefore money became comparatively scarce and the
rate of discount rose very nearly to 4 per cent. A t the very
end of last week some of the Scotch banks called in loans
aod this created a kind of scar* among operators lest the
banks generally should refuse to lend on the usual scale at
the fortnightly Stock Exchange settlement which began this
week.
The selling, then, upon Monday and Tuesday was chiefly
due to a fear not so much of dear money as of extreme diffi
culty in getting money on any condition. Once the fall be
gan “ bear” selling of course increased, and that in its
turn alarmed many timid people. And n j doubt there was
a certain amount o ’ selling, especially from the interior by
holders who are easily alarmed, The fall of the Brisson
Cibinet le i to a very general belief in this country that the
Fashoda incident would be arranged amicably. A t the same
time theStock Exchange settlement had proceeded far enough
to allow of operators buying for the new account. Those
who sold on Monday in the fear that th -y could not carry
over comfortably bought on Wednesday with the knowledge
that a fortnight would pass before they would have to face
another account.
That this is the true view of the disturbance in the m ar
kets on Monday aad Tuesday is borne out by the fact that
the fall was greatest in consols— that is, in the very best of
our securities, while the purely speculative stocks fell very
little, such as Soutn African mining shares, and especially
those South African mining shares which are usually dealt
in in France. If there was a real political scare it is the
securities in which both France and England are largely in
terested that might reasonably be expected to give way most.
Bat it is precisely these which were least affected on Monday
and Tuesday.
W hile all tais is true, however, there is no doubt at all
that there is a good deal of uneasiness regarding the Btate of
France. Opinion in this country is absolutely and firmly
united that there must bs no yielding on the Fashoda ques
tion ; that France must withdraw or war will follow. A t the
same time there is a universal belief that France is utterly
unprepared for war, and consequently would be defeated if
she rushed into hostilities. But, though the general expecta
tion is that her public men will recognize all this, and will
yield, there is the lamentable fact that the army is mas’
tsr ; that the Republican Party is split up into little
groups; that the leaders of those groups are jealouB of one
•another and often personally hostile; that the great public,
the real people of France, fail to make their opinion felt;
that the General Staff, the Military Governor of Paris, and
985
the late Minister of W a r are, if not actually hostile to the
Republic, at all events pursuing a course which may have the
most disastrous circumstances; and that lastly, the President
of the Republic himself is believed to have a strong leaning
towards the Military Party. In such circumstances it is
natural that there should be a widespread fear all over E u
rope that there m ay be internal disturbances, and that that
in its turn may lead to external war.
In this situation it follows, as a matter of course, that in
vestment is practically at a standstill. Everybody is keeping
what money he has, and the more prudent are gradually sell
ing out, so as to be able to take advantage of any fall that
may occur.
The Bank of England on Thursday made no change in its
rate of discount. For the present there is no occasion for it
to do so, since it practically has got the outside rate up to its
own level. Indeed it, for the time being, has got such con
trol of the market that it has been able to pay off some of
the loans it contracted a week or two ago. Moreover, it has
been able to lend very considerable sums to the outside
market.
A t the same time the Continental exchanges have all
turned in favor of this country, and money in considerable
sums is coming here both from Paris and Berlin. The
money from Berlin is, as explained above, in payment of
bank acceptances held here. The money from Paris is be lieved to be chiefly remitted here for safe-keeping by French
men alarmed at the condition of the country, and especially
by some of the leading Jewish houses.
There is a report, likewise, that the Russian Government
is transferring money both to London and to Berlin. It has
of course to make certain payments in both cities, and has
to meet these. But it is doubtful whether it is transferring
money merely through apprehension. Meantime the India
Council continues to sill its drafts wonderfully well. It
offered for tender on Wednesday 40 lacs and the applications
exceeded 141 lacs. It sold the whole amount offered, Rs
28.05.000 in bills at Is. 4 l-32d. per rupee, and Rs 11.95,000 in
telegraphic transfers at Is. 4 l-10d.

The Money Market anil Financial Situation.— Business
it. W all -street has responded quickly to the sound-money
victory, which later election returns have emphasized.
Nothing in recent years has gone so far to restore confidence
in financial circles as the assurance that both branches of
: sea will have a majority in favor of establish
ing permanently the gold standard. Moreover, there is a
strong probability that the silver craze, which has hung 80
long as an incubus over all our industrial and financial inter
ests, will never again obtain a foothold in this country.
Transactions in railway bonds at the Stock Exchange on
Thursday were the largest" in the.history of that institu ion,
and the stock market has been exceptionally buoyant since
the election return-* were given out. Asignificant fact about
this large volume of badness is the increased foreign demand,
especially for railway bonds—the more significant because
of the firm money markets at all European centres. No
doubt a part of this demand is speculative in character, but
on the whole it is generally understood to reflect a more
favorable public sentiment abroad. Recent purchases of
wheat for export are now coming forward and the capacity of
some of tie- grain carrying roads is being tested. A s noted
below, rates for foreign exchange are lower. This may be
due in part to a slight irregularity in the local money mar
ket. which was a feature earlier in the week, and to the
higher rates for call loans.
Tiit- open market rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange
during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged
from 1 , to 1 percent. To-day’s rates on call were 1% to 2>£
per cent. Prime commercial paper quoted 3 to 4 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
s nowed an increase in bullion of £147,889, and the percentage
of reeerve to liabilities was 52 90, against 49‘70 last week; the
disomnt rate remains unchanged at 4 percent. The Bank >f
Frac e shows an increase of 1,075,(MX) francs in gold and
a decrease of 2,60 >,000 francs in silver.
Th - Ne w York City Clearing-House banks in their state
ment of Nov. 5 showed a decrease in the reserve held of
$5,U'e.200 and a surplus over the required reserve of $19,021,050, against $2(1.091,550 the previous week,

Tne market for railway bonds reflects the confidence which
election results have inspired in investment circles. The de
mand for this class of securities is unprecedented, the trans
actions on Thursday amounting to nearly $10,000,000, par
value, and the active list has advanced without exception,
the advance averaging about 2 points. Bankers with foreign
connections are in the market as buyers for their customers
abroad, a feature which has not been conspicuous for a long
time past. Notwithstanding the large volume of business,
there is an absence of high-grade issues, the transactions
having been specially heavy in Atchison, Baltimore & Ohio
when issued. Central of Georgia, Chesapeake & Ohio, Erie,

Railroad and M iscellaneous Stocks,— The market for
stocks was firm and active on Monday, stimulated by in
creasing confidence in
favorable election results
On
Wednesday the transactions were larger than on any day for
many weeks past, but the significance of Tuesday’s victory
was more fully comprehended on Thursday, when the market
was decidedly buoyant, and sharp advances were common
throughout the list. This business was well distributed, and.
stocks which have been neglected for a long time were in
demand at advancing prices. To-day’s market was slightly
less active and heavy realizing sales caused some reaction
from the highest prices.
Atchison preferred has been, through the week, the most
active stock on the railway list, and steadily advanced to 40% ,
a net gain of 4
points. The grangers were favorites and
advanced an average of over 3 points. Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific were strong on a foreign demand and com
mission-house buying. The anthracite coal group and M an
hattan Elevated were almost the only stocks which failed toparticipate in the general advance. Transactions in the
miscellaneous list were limited when compared with the
heavy dealing in railway shares. Federal Steel issues have
steadily advanced on what is called inside buying and Ten
nessee Coal, Iron & Railway was strong on rumors that it
will be absorbed by the Federal Steel Co, N ew York AirBrake fluctuated over a range of 8 points. Pullman’s*
Palace Car recorded an advance of nearly 9 points.

Street Railway Net Earnings.— The following table gives
the returns of Street railway gross and netearnings received
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 each week all the returns received that
week, 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 hronicle
of October 29, 1898. The next will appear in the issue of
November .19,1898.

( Report f o r ye.tr ending June 30, 1898.)
The full text of the remarks in the annual report of Presi
dent Stilwell and Mr. Gillhain, th i General Manager, will
be found on pages 1003 to 1007, together with the balance sheet,
income account, tables of operations, etc.
Tne management points out that the results from the year’s
operation were obtained under very unfavorable conditions.
The road was not completed through to Port Arthur until
September 11, 1897. On the very next day quarantine was
established, which lasted until the middle of November,
1897
Tais waj followed by an unusual rainy season, so that
the traffic south of Shreveport was seriously hampered by
the effect of the severe rain9 upon the material of which the
new road was necessarily constructed. In May a series of
storms swelled the Arkansas River t9n feet above the high
est point ever before reached, washing away the approach to
the Arkansas River Bridge, thus cutting the road in two for
twenty-one days, and'forcing the K . C. P. & G. to pay large
charges to mother roads for handling its trains over their
tracks.
Complications in the matter of rates and divisions with
connecting lines was a further unfavorable condition.
The total interest for one year on the bon is oatstanding
July 1, 1893, exceeds by$399,237 the amount deducted from
the income for the fiscal year, owing to the fact that the
interest on certain bonds did not begin to accrne until April
1, 1898, bat it is claimed that the aforesaid adverse condi
tions conspired to reduce the net revenue of the company by
an amount exceeding the difference in interest mentioned.
The income account shows as follow s:

F riday Night , November 11. 1898,
EPITOME.
T h e M o v e m e n t o f t h e C r o p , as indicated by our telegrams
fr o m the South to-night, is given below. For the week ending
F r i d a y N i g h t , November 11, 1898.
The principle feature of the week has been the elections
held on Tuesday in most States of the U aion. The result
has been such as to create general confidence, as the party
identified with sound m mey h a 3 m :t with sufficient success to
give it control of both houses of Congress. The losses
which the free silver party met with in its own strong
holds has had the effect to emphasize the fact that the silver
fallacy is fast losing its supporters. Business has been in
terrupted to some extent by the election. During the latter
part of the week, however, there were indications of a gen
eral revival of activity, reflecting the confidence shown in
nearly all lines of trade. Slow progress has continued to
mark" the work of the Peace Commissioners at Paris. Lord
Salisbury’s address on Wednesday has received much atten
tion, as it is thought to have important bearing upon the
present tension in European political circles.
Lard on the spot has sold slowly, as both exporters and
refiners have been light buyers. Offerings have been fairly
free and prices have declined, closing at 5'25c. for prime
W estern, and 4Jgc. for prime City. Refined lard has had only
a small sale, and prices have declined to 5'50c. for refined
for the Continent. Speculation in lard for future delivery
has been quiet and prices have declined under aggressive
selling by bear operators and packers.

Brazil grades of coffee have had a slightly better distribu
ting sale, at hough higher prices have held business in
check to some extent. The market for invoices has been

A considerable portion of the Sea Island cotton shipped to
foreign port s goes via New York, and some sm all amounts via
Boston and Baltimore. Instead of including this cotton for
the week in which it leaves the Southern outports, we follow
the same plan as in our regular table of including it when
actually exported from New Y ork , &c. The details of the
shipments of Sea Island cotton for the week will be found

The volume of business transacted in the market for wheat

been in fair demand; and with limited offerings, owing to

limited scale than of late. Home buying in heavy brown
goods is moderate, but fine yarn, light weights, have sold
more freely at steady prices. Ducks are dull and irregular,

not made any change in prices of bleached cottons, and
pending action on their part the demand continues in

blankets quiet but steady. Denims have been sold to
clean up stocks at very low prices. Market now

colored cottons quiet and in favor of buyers. Kid-finished
cambrics dull and unchanged. American shirting prints
have been reduced to 3c. per yard, the lowest pri -e on rec

been nude. In other printed lines the market has been
without material change. Ginghams well sold up in fine
