The full detail* of clearings for the week covered by the

hence in the above the last twenty-four hours of the week

We present below our usual detailed figures for the pre
vious week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon, November 7. and the results for the correspond
in g week in 1895. 1394 and 1893 are also given. Contrasted
with the preceding week there is an increase in the aggre
gate exchanges of nearly sixty-three million dollars, but
at New York alone the gain is only sixteen and a quarter
millions. In comparison with the week of 1895 the total for
the whole country shows a decrease of 8’8 per cent.
Com
pared with the week of 1894 the current returns record a
gain of IT'9 per cent and the excess over 1893 is 14 2 per cent.
Outside of New York the decline from 1895 is l l ’ l per cent.
The increase over 1894 reaches 6’l per cent, but making com
parison with 1393 the gain is seen to be 6 7 per cent,

THE CHRONICLE.
THE
F IN A N C IA L
SIT U A TIO N .
A further material advance in the price of wheat has
been a conspicuous feature of the week. Our Man
chester correspondent gives us to-day some facts
with reference to the Indian situation. No doubt
the state of affairs there has become more serious ;
but a fear prevails here lest this speculative move
ment in wheat may be carried too far. Russia’s
supply seems always to be an unknown quantity.
We want to sell our wheat and our corn too, and
the latter is the largest crop we have ever raised,
but our visible supply of both grains, though not exces
sive yet, is increasing. To-day’s prices pay the pro
ducer well, and that is a highly favorable fact in the
general surroundings. Our industries all over the
country have taken a notable start and enforced idle
ness is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Every
development tends towards an active business season
and general prosperity seems to be the promise. It
would help hope to experience speedy fruition if our
crops could be marketed and not be piled up in public
view to be looked at, as has happened sometimes in the
past.
Gold movements and the foreign exchange market
have attracted attention this week. The flow of gold
into our banks has continued and they have now
become the custodian of considerable of that metal
hoarded recently. Last Saturday’s statement of the
Clearing-House institutions did not reflect the condition
on that day but was interesting as reflecting very
nearly the condition immediately preceding the elec
tion. During the week prior to November 3d the
withdrawals of deposits were a very important item.
Moreover on Wednesday following the election the re
ceipts of gold and of currency by the banks were small and
not until the end of the week did they grow large; even
then not much currency came from the interior. This
week the country banks have shipped more currency to
New York. The disclosures of last week’s bank state
ment (which, as said, substantially reflected the situa
tion just prior to the election), were that the loans,
the deposits and the legal tenders touched the lowest
figures of the year. Indeed, the loans, which were
then reported at $442,179,700, and the deposits, which
at that date were $438,437,600, were lower really than
at any time since the financial crisis of 1893. On Sep
tember 23 1893 the loans were $392,145,600, and on
August 19 1893 the deposits were $370,302,400. The
bank figures of last Saturday thus reflect a state of
affairs produced not by a belief that Bryan would be
elected but simply by the thought of the frightful re
sults which would follow if by any mishap he should
be elected.
The Treasury net holdings of gold were reported
yesterday (Friday) at $122,840,588 against $114,957,109 on November 5, the latter representing the situa
tion two days previous on the morning of November 3.
It thus appears that the Government has added to its
net gold holdings about $8,000,000 since the election.
The question has been asked where this increase has
come from, since it has not been possible for the SubTreasury at New York to handle the gold brought to it
for exchange into legal tenders. It has come in the
shape of Assay Office checks paid through the Clearing
House. Before the election the public demanded gold
on these checks; now they have no special value and
are passed into the Sub-Treasury on balances. In this
manner $4,145,000 were so used last week and $2,750,-
fVOL. L X IH .
000 this week. The difference between the Treasury’s
gain since the election in net gold and this $6,895,000
is accounted for by deposits of gold received at sub
treasuries other than at New York. Tne arrivals of gold
from Europe since our last reporthave been $125,000 on
the Euerst Bismarck and $730,000 on the St. Paul and
$300,000 on the Umbria, all on Saturday, and $517,000 on the Majestic Thursday, which makes the total,
since last report $1,672,000.
The foreign exchange market has this week been in'
a measure influenced by movements of capital. A
block of $4,000,000 Government 4s of 1925 was sold
this week by Messrs. Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co.
for account of a large financial institution in London.
Tne sale, it is understood, was chiefly due to the high
rates for money prevailing in London, 4 per cent,,
while the price realized for the bonds was on a basis of
only 3 per cent; there was also a profit in the transac
tion. This sale is but one of many since the election
which European holders have made for similar reasons.
On the other hand we learn of very considerable
takings of securities for Europe. One banker
tells us that he has invested during the period
mentioned $2,000,000 for foreign purchasers. I t
is generally understood, likewise, that some por
tion of the New York City bonds, $16,046,590 70,.
sold to Vermilye & Go. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are
for London. The rates for exchange advanced sharply
on Monday. No doubt this followed in part from the
sale of Government bonds noted above, but it was?
chiefly due to the settlements of maturing sterling
loans.
The advance continued on Tuesday until the
afternoon when the market grew weak with an irreg
ular fall of one cent in nominal rates. Eor actual
business rates on Monday compared with the close
on Friday of last week were three-quarters of a cent
higher all around, while the fall on Tuesday was:
three-quarters of a cent for long and about one cent
for cable transfers. Since Tuesday the market has.
been firmer though easy again yesterday.
The action of the Kansas courts last week in ap
pointing a receiver for the Kansas lines of the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe has elicited a good deal of com
ment, and the comments have not been very flittering
either to the State whose statutes afford a basis for an
action'of that kind or to th i courts which have allowed
themselves to bs used iu th9 proceeding. As was
stated in our news columas last week, it is claimed
that there is an act upon the Kansas statute booka
which provides that no corporation more thaa 20 per
cent of whose stock is held by aliens shall hold real
estate in Kansas. The act also directs, it is said, that
if real estate is held in violation of its provisions, it
shall be forfeited and sold by the sheriff in parcels of
not exceeding 160 acres each. Tne Atchison owns no
land in Kansas except such as is necessary for the op
eration of its road, and it is contended that the statute
was not intended to apply to railroads at all. That
certainly seems a rational view. Imagine the Atchison
lines in Kansas split up into parcels of 160 acres.
Hardly anything else is needed to show the absurdity
of the thing. Bat who can tell what view the Kansas;
judges might take of the matter. Unfortunately
Kansas is given over to populism, and hence is lost
to ordinary ideas of honesty and justice. The motion
for the appointment of the receiver seems to have been
granted by a local judge on an ex parte application by a
local attorney. We regret to say that receivership ap
pointments on ex parte applications are not unknown

We mentioned last week some of the more notable
changes that took place on Wednesday immediately
following the election of Mr. McKinley, indicating how
completely confidence had displaced the timidity
theretofore prevailing. This week the evidences to the
same effect have multiplied day by day. Furnaces and
factories, many of which have been idle for a long
time, have gone to work again, and this movement is
not confined to any single section but embraces sub
stantially the whole country. Additions to old estab
lished concerns as well as wholly new plants calling for
large capital engagements are already under advise
ment, while work on undertakings interrupted by the
election contest has in many cases been fully resumed.
Floating capital, too, is eagerly seeking investment.
We recorded a week ago a fbw of gold into banks and
the public Treasury from its hiding places where it had
been recently put; this restoration begin Wednesday,
November 4th, and has been on the increase ever since.
As a consequence the money market i3 restored to nor
mal conditions and a decided revival in the dem md for
securities at materially improved prices has beeu a
noticeable feature. Tnis is apparent both inside and
outside the Stock Exchange market. Conspicuois in
stances of the latter have been the satisfactory sales of
Brooklyn and New York City bonds this week.
The course of the municipal security marker during
the populistic fever and since the recovery from its in
fluence is an interesting study. As usual, municipal se
curities were marketable all through the depression, but
latterly only at such concessi >ns as the cities as a rule
were unwilling to make. Sales were restricted to a very
small aggregate. Our monthly exhibit of sales showed
a total of only $3,693,457 in September last; iu the
following mouth, October, the total was a little larger,
being $4,688,463 ; these results, to be rightly estim ited,
must be compared with $12,792,308 in June 1896 (the
largest of the year), $15,907,441 in June 1895 and
$16,359,377 in June 1894. Bat the market conditions
all the time from July to N evember this year were even
more unfavorable than this record of comparative
monthly sales denotes. The real state of affairs is
better shown by reference to some of the best bond
offerings advertised and the lack of success they met
with. Bids for $400,000 New York Oity bonds
were opened July 27, and again on July 28
bids for $3,805,962 56 were opened; at the former
date the proposals reached only $121,000 and
at the latter they reached $1,010,000, at prices
as a rule but a fraction above par, although the
bands were 3^ per cents, payable principal aud interest
in gold, none of them maturing earlier than 1910,
while some ran until 1917. New York made another
attempt on August 17 to sell $3,433,033 41 bonds. A t
this date the special scare which followed Bryan's
nomination had subsided in large measure and the bids
were $4,543,842 50, but at prices still so low (chiefly at
par or a fraction above par) that all were rejected.
The change of sentiment which has taken place
among investors since the election can be in no way
better indicated than by the contrast the foregoing
facts afford when placed by the side of the present
state of the market for municipal securities. It has
been demonstrated this week that New York Oity
bonds are now salable again and that investors are
anxions to get them and willing to p ly g >>i prices for
them. Bids were openel o i M-id iy N member 9;h

principles and to brush away as if by instinct the falla.
cies of a school of revolutionary reasoners. It ha3 been
often observed that mere participation in business at a
seaport enables men to take a rational view of the phe
nornena of foreign exchange. At New York an un
usual persistence of sterling exchange at the gold export
figure is generally understood as an index merely to
abnormal commercial and financial conditions. At
Denver it is quite as apt to be assumed that the entire
movement of exchange is a conspiracy on the part of
foreign bankers. Yet the tone of recent financial dis
cussion and the vote which followed it show clearly
enough that intelligent insight into such movements of
the markets is not confined to the headquarters of in
ternational finance. It spreads with the extension of
organized domestic trade; witness to which is found in
the recent vote of nearly all responsible trade centres
throughout the Union.
Perhaps the best proof of this spread of financial en
lightenment is the size of the popular maj crity obtained
last week in the country as a whole by the sound- money
candidates. At present accounts this popular major
ity will considerably exceed one million votes. This
majority -becomes still more remarkable when it is
considered that four years ago the Democratic and
Populistic parties, which this year nominally combined
their forces, polled altogether a majority of nearly a
million and a-half over the Republican ticket. In
other words, the apparent result of the sound- money
canvas is a change in pluralities of two and a-half to
three million ; indicating on its face a reversal in their
Presidential vote on the part of at least one million
voters.
I t was to be expected that this loss of votes by a
party which committed itself to unsound finance
would be greatest in the East, where business conser
vatism has had the longest growth. The reversal since
1892, therefore, of 158,000 votes in New York S;ate, of
71.000 in Massachusetts, of 52,000 in New Jersey and
of 29,000 in Connecticut, is not perhaps remark-able*
Even the free-coinage leaders, early in the canvass’
conceded that these communities were a hopeless field
for their peculiar propaganda. It was the nominee of
the depreciated money ticket who himself, at the very
opening of the campaign, described these great com
mercial and industrial States as “ the enemy’s country.”
But the remarkable conclusion written on the face
of the electoral returns is the fact that this same in
stinct of conservatism prevails throughout the nation
generally, limited only by what may still be called the
frontier States. Chicago, for example, has been car
ried with more or less frequent alternation, during the
last twenty years, by both political parties, and in 1892
gave a Democratic plurality of nearly 35,000. This
year it gives the Republican ticket a majority of
60.000 on the largest total vote ever recorded.
St. Louis provides an almost exact parallel. Its
majorities during a generation have been small, and
have been polled with fair alternation in favor of
both the leading parties. This year its sound-money
majority is 17,000. Baltimore has polled at almost every
election since the war a Democratic majority. It gave
Mr. McKinley upwards of 14,000 majority last week.
There is scarcely a Western city of any commercial
prominence from which similar comparisons cannot be
made. Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Louisville,
Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Minneapolis and St. Paul
have the same story to tell.
[V ol. LX III.
It may be objected that except for Maryland, Dela

“ border states
the Solid South stood together for
the unsound money candidate. But such an unqualified
conclusion does the section great injustice. Through
out that portion of the country party allegiance has a
hold on voters hardly recognized by Northerners ; yet
Ouattanooga was carried this year by the Republicans f
in Nashville and Memphis, traditional Democratic
strongholds, the free-coinage Democratic ticket wasalmost defeated, and even in Charleston, S O., the
Sdver ticket polled less votes than the Republican and
National Democratic tickets combined. These facts
are striking witness, not only to the increase of intelli
gent and independent voting in a quarter where it was
least expected, but to the spread of financial conserv
atism among our people generally.
To many persons these results have seemed surprising.
Yet they are, after all, nothing more than the natural
outcome of a very well-known phenomenon, the in
crease of trade activity and wealth in our Western and
Southern communities during this generation. Wealth,
as defined in the straDge mass of fallacy preached this
summer by the apostles of the Chicago platform, meant
nothing but actual specie or legal-tender money. As a
necessary inference from this definition, the only
wealthy men of the United States were the bankers and
the money-changers, who, it was assumed, kept the
country’s wealth locked in their safe-deposit vaults,
and only released it piece-meal at rates of interest soexorbitant as presently to force the return of the
currency to the bankers’ vaults.
Outlandish
as this conception of the laws of exchange
and property may seem, we do not believe
that we do any injustice to the free-coinage orators
and pamphleteers in thus summing up their creed..
Their overweening confidence at the campaign’s open
ing in a sweeping victory East as well as West—Mr.
Bryan’s own prediction in July, that he expected to
carry every State in the Union—are proof that this
band of agitators actually believed the country’s entire
population, except the very small percentage employed
in the trades of banking and exchange, to be identified
in personal interests with a campaign against the
country’s wealth.
The progress of the contest and the remarkable
features of the vote last week must have revealed the
truth, even to the dullest-witted agitator. The wealth
of the United States is the sum of all the property
owned by all that country’s citizens. The wholesale
crusade against wealth and the wealthy resolved itself,
therefore, into a distinct attack on every citizen who
to-day owns anything of value, or expects to attain
such ownership in the future. It is hardly to be won
dered at, under such circumstances, that more than
one-tenth of the country’s entire voting population
should have withdrawn its vote from the party com
mitted to such a platform and transferred it to the
party with a platform of conservatism and sound
money.
We regard this demonstration of the business con
servatism in the South and, with the exception of a
few States, in the West as a matter of the first import
ance. It will certainly serve to keep back any politi
cian in possession of his senses from a future effort in
the direction of socialism and confiscation. No one
can fail, after 1896, to understand that the real owners
of wealth, on a larger or smaller scale, not only make
up the majority in practically all sections of the Union,'

The consequence of the greatly augmented demand
for currency in 1876-77 and 1877 78 is here plainly
indicated. In using the figures to suggest what may
happen now it must be borne in mind (1) that the
mints are closed and (2) that there is a certain though
not very greatly increased use of Government currency
notes. There is, however, no important economy of
coin in India, for even in Calcutta and Bombay the
transactions of the largest wholesale dealers are at this
day still settled for the most part in coin. Every
large importing house has a staff of clerks employed
in receiving and counting bags of rupees, and at the
Presidency Banks of Bombay and Calcutta a whole
department is occupied constantly in this kind of
work, cheques being very scantily employed. Whence
is the large amount of additional currency required
for the transaction of a huge grain trade throughout
India at adva need prices to be provided F It can come
only from the reserves in the bank ing centres, and
possibly to some extent from the hoards. The latter
contingency is improbable, and therefore it may be
expected that there will ensue a certain scarcity of
money in Calcutta and Bombay, accompanied by a
further advance in the rate of discount and in the
Indian rate of exchange on London.
OUR L A R G E
C O R N CROP.
The publication this week of the Agricultural
Bureau report for November permits a closer estimate
of the current year's yield of corn, the largest of all
our crops, than did the return of a month ago. The
present statement gives the average yield per acre for
the country as a whole and for the separate. States, the
same as the returns for October in the case of wheat
and oats, and hence by applying these averages to the
previously reported acreage, we get a pretty clear indi
cation of the total crop yield in advance of the ap
pearance of the Bureau's report the latter part of De
cember.
The latest figures make tbe situation even more
favorable than the earlier ones. The Bureau estimates
the average yield for the country at 27’3 bushels per
acre. This is over a bushel better than the average for
last year and compares with but 19’7 bushels in 1894.
On the basis of these averages the aggregate production
the present year will he over twenty two hundred
million bushels—in exact figures 2,211 millions. The
total runs ahead even of that for last year, which
was 2,151 million bushels and was the very largest
[VOL. LX III.
product up to that time for any year in the country s
history. In fact, prior to 1895 it had happened only
twice that the crop had reached as much as two thousand
million bushels, the two years distinguished in that
way being 1889 and 1891.
The especially noteworthy feature is the occurrence
of two such enormous crops together. The magnitude
of these crops is perhaps best shown when we combine
the two years and compare the result with the com
bined crops of the two years preceding, in the one of
which the yield was indifferent and in the other very poor.
For 1896 and 1895 the combined yield is 4,362 million
bushels, for 1894 and 1893 only 2,832 million bushels,
a difference in favor of the later period of 1,530
million bushels; in fact the current year's crop alone
at 2,211 million bushels does not fall so very much
short of the combined crops of 1894 and 1893 at 2,832
millions.
It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of
these two successive large crops to every industrial in
terest in the country—to the railroads and the general
public, as well as to the farmer. This is more particu
larly true because the general crop situation through
out the world is such as to make large surpluses in this
country very desirable and advantageous. We showed
last week that there had undoubtedly been a consider
able falling off in the wheat crop of the world the pres
ent year, and that latterly all the developments had
been such as to make the shortage more pronounced.
Some other crops ia different parts of the world have
also failed to equal expectations; in certain sections of
Mexico, for instance, the corn crop has been a complete
failure, and to relieve distress the Mexican Government
has promulgated a decree allowing certain Mexican
Srates, for charitable purposes, to import specified
amounts of corn duty free.
Price?, too, have improved. Much of the advantage
expected from last year’s large corn yield failed to
accrue because values ruled so low that farmers found
no inducement to send their supplies forward. For
that very reason, though, the surplus remaining out of
the 1895 crop is very heavy—a fortunate circumstance
now that prices have advanced, and that there is sure
to be an active demand for all kinds of grains. On
the 10th of September the quotation for corn here in
New York was only a little over 25 cents a bushel; now
the price is 31 cents. Another thing should not be
forgotten. A very considerable part of the corn crop
is consumed on the farm, that is, is converted into
meat. The fact that the 1895 crop was so large, means
that for months to come we will h ive heavy supplies of
meat and meat products, as well as of grain; here, too,
prices are better than they were recently.
In the case of many of the separate States the con
trast between the corn yield of 1896 and 1895 and the
years immediately preceding is hardly less striking than
for the country as a whole. Iowa, for instance, pro
duced 310 million bushels this year and 298 millions
in 1895, against only 81 million bushels in 1894.
Nebraska’s crop is estimated at 296 million bushels,
against 125 million bushels last year and but 13 mil
lions in 1894. Kansas raised 239 million bushels this
year and 204 millions last year, against only 41 million
bushels in 1894. In the Middle West we fiDd that
Illinois produced 283 million bushels in 1896 and 255
million bushels in 1895, while in 1894 her product was
only 169 million bushels and in 1893 160 million
bushels. In Indiana the crop has been 123 million
bushels in 1896, 121 million in 1895 and 96 million in
THE CHRONICLE.
Novembeb 14, 1896,]
1894, ami in Ohio 120 million, 92 million and 72
million bushels respectively.
There is oae part of the country th a t ha3 not done
so well this year, namely the Southwest, and Texas in
particular. The Texas corn yield last year was esti
mated at 108 million bushels, this year the Agricul
tnral D epartm ent puts it at only about 28 million bush
els; in 1894 the State produced 69 million bushels of
corn. In Arkansas the crop is estimated at 29 million
bushels, against 50 million bushels last year and 38
million bushels the year before. The following shows
the crop in all the leading corn-producing States for

The foregoing shows an aggregate for corn, wheat
and oats combined of 3,293 million bushels in 1890
and 3,442 million bushels in 1895, against 2,335 mi!
lion in 1894 and 2,654 million in 185)3.
It is perhaps well to add th at the country has been
favored this year also in the case of a number of other
agricultural products. F or instance, the yield of hav
is estimated at 1*36 tons, against only 1*06 tons in 1895
and 1*25 tons in 1894. Nor should reference be
omitted to the potato crop, where the yield is put at
86*8 bushels. T his falls below the phenomenal yield of
190*7 bughels last year, but as the Agricultural Bureau
well «aya Is above the average for the last ten years.
A large potato crop is a fact not without importance
when the European agent of the Agricultural Depart
ment is obliged to note that “ wet weather in October
throughout Central Europe was unfavorable for the
potato crop,” and when our own London correspondent
reports th at in England the wet weather did so much
damage th at over large area3 the potatoes are not
worth digging up, and th at as a consequence there is
certain to be a large demand for potatoes. The following
compares the yield per acre for seven years for the
crops regarding which the Agricultural Bureau has
made reports this time. Similar comparisons for other
crops were given in our issue of October 17.

THE SOUTH AND SOUND MONEY.
In a preceding article we have* pointed out, ra th e r
briefly, th a t the fact th a t the South, with the excep
tion of a few of the border States, cast its votes solidly
for the free silver ticket at the recent election, cannot
be taken as any indication of the strength of the silve r
sentiment in that p arto f the country. We th in k every
intelligent observer who makes a careful study of the
facts and keeps in touch with current opinion must
reach the same conclusion. The m atter is of im port
ance because the silverite3 talk of holding the issue
alive, with the view to gaining new converts and th u s
strengthening their position for future campaigns.
They do not seem to realize how hopeless the under
taking is or how very weak the election returns show
the silver is3ne to have been—in the South as else
where.
In the first place the silver people appear to be ob
livions of the fact th a t many of the votes cast for
Bryan were by no means given in support of the views
which he advocated. Hundreds of thousands of m en
voted for the silver apostle because he was the candi
date of the party to which they had always given th eir
allegiance. They did not believe in free silver at all,
and they repudiated the other noxious d latrines which
they were asked to accept a3 articles of their political
faith. Many of them had declared for the gold stand
ard before the Chicago Convention undertook to
commit them and the party to the opposite coarse.
They swallowed their principles in order to m aintain
their standing within the party—in other words, to be
regular. T he action of the Democratic organizations
in New York City, Brooklyn, &e., furnishes a striking
instance of this here in the East, These people at heart
are not for silver. On the contrary, they know th at
free coinage means ruin and disaster, and in the coun
sels of the party they will be sure to oppose further
advocacy of a policy which they never did approve and
which, in view of the results of the election, they dis
approve more than ever.
This remark applies to the South no le3S forcibly
than to other parts of the country. In one sense it
applies with even greater fore?. F or party allegiance
is stronger in the South than elsewhere— made so by
the race problem, which in th at section dominates
everything else. It is with the greatest reluctance that
Democrats there will take a step in opposition to that
of their party. Southern sentiment, too, in favor of
sound money is much stronger than commonly sup
posed, Judging from the unanim ity with which the
delegates to the Chicago Convention from the Southern
States declared for free silver, one might have been
inclined to think that there were no advocates of the
existing standard in the South. B ut it was simply
the politicians in control of the party machinery who
spoke. The voice of the merchant, the business man
and the intelligent laborer in the cities, who saw the
folly of the silver scheme and were utterly opposed to
it, did not find expression at the Convention. Y et
these persons form a very numerous class. T h at we
are not mistaken in this view is proved by the election
returns and by the many letters we are receiving re

contributing to the falling off. Xor will any one be in
doubt as to the cause of the decline. Tne silver issue
and the profound disturbance in business occasioned
by it are responsible for the poor showing. Wnile in
dustrial interests were depressed all through recent
months, the depression was especially pronounced
during October, the time then being so near for the
determination of the great issue upon which everything
hung, producing great tension and anxiety.
As far as the other influences of large moment are
concerned, they were quite propitious, and their pres
ence would, under ordinary circumstances, have been
reflected in very large gains in earniDgs. Tnus as a
result of last season’s excellent grain harvests and the
rise in the prices of agricultural products, which was
such a marked feature during October, the roads had a
very heavy grain movement. As it happens, in wheat
in which the rise in prices was most noteworthy, there
was a falling off, but this followed from the fact that
in the spring wheat districts both the receipts and the
crop last year were of phenomenal extent—a condition
which it could hardly be expected would be repeated
the present year. Because of the drop in the spriDgwheat movement to normal proportions, many of
the roads in the Northwest hive lost a ousiderable part of the heavy gains in earnings mide last yeir
and this of course has farther contributed to make
the general ch tractor of the exhibit of earnings un
favorable. In all the other cereals, however, except
ing wheat, the movement has been greatly in excess of
a year ago, as we shall presently show. Th» cotton
movement in the South has likewise operated to the
advantage of the roads, it having been much above the
small movement of last year.
On the other hand, excepting in the South the
returns of earnings last year ware very good, the gains
being numerous and large, and hence the showing the
present year appears all the poorer by contrast. Tnen,
also, there have been some special disturbing factors
the present year. In Ohio and ad j oining State?, for
instance, the coal-mining roads suffered severely from
an exceptional combination of adverse circumstances.
In the first placs the demand for coal was
very email, many large iron producing and manufac
turing establiahments in that section having been re
duced to idleness, thus diminishing the requirements
for coal. la the second place, on account of the dis
pute as to the relative rates of wages to be paid in the
Ohio districts and the Pittsburg district, there was a ces
ration of work the latter part of September and the be
ginning of October. In the third place, the various
roads were not working in harmony, so that both the
price of coal and the transportation charges for coal
dropped to ruinous figures. Fortunately, by an ar
rangement entered into this week between the different
soft coal companies, harmony has again been re
stored and prices and rates advanced.
We have already stated that 91 of the 132 rovls con
tributing return?, show losses in earnings. Ia the
aggregate the falling off for the 132 roads is $2,284,193, or 4*38 per cent. Perhaps this is better, all things
considered, than might have been thought probable.
Last year in the same month, out of 139 roads no less
than 102 showed gain?, which gives an idea of the gen
eral character of the exhibit at that tim-. l i t h e
aggregate the gain then amounted to over 3£ million
dollars, but it followed losses in both 1894 and 1893.

Among the separate roads, th? los itt--', VcJ Uec3 1 il t*-1ly
say, are in a number of instances very heavy. Tney
come, too, from all parts of the country. I a some
cases the falling off follows from the depression in
business, in other cases from the smaller spring-wheat
movement, in still others from both causes combined.

the Missouri Pacific $263,258, the Wabash $221,622,
the Canadian Pacific $200,857. the Big Four $176,559,

Of coarse with the losses predominating so
largely, there being, as we have seen, only 41 excep
tions to the rule out of the 132 roads reporting, the
number of roads with gains of large amount is not
very considerable. Still there are a few companies
distinguished in that way, the Oregon Riilway & Navi
gation reporting $149,469 increase the Grand Trunk
of Canada $140,063, the Buffalo Rmhester & Pitts
burg $106,306, besides which there are six others
with increases in exces? of $30,000. The following

losses.

With reference to the grain movement the receipts
of wheat at the Western primary market? were 29f
million bushels in the four week? ending Oct. 31 ia
1896, against 32£ million bushels in the corresponding
four weeks of 1895, bat the receipts of corn were 19^million bushels against 9f millions, of oats 23£ millions
against 17i millions, of barley 9 millions against 6£
millions, and of rye l£ millions against f of a million.
Altogether the receipts of wheat, corn, oat?, barley and
rye were 83,330,265 bu?hel? in the four weeks of 1896,
against 67,019,745 bushels in th> four week? of 1895.
The gain thus wa3 roughly L6 million bushel?. In the
case of wheat, while aggregate receipts were smaller
the winter wheat points in several instances had
enlarged receipts. Chicago, too, received increased
amounts of winter wheat; its smaller total wheat deliv
eries being due to the falling off in the receipts of
spring wheat. This is well shown by the fact that the
inspection of winter wheat at that point comprised
2,487 cars in October this year, against 645 cars ia
October last year, while the inspection of spring wheat

A fact of importance in connection with this grain
movement is that the movement was already large
last year, giving
the further addition the present
year additional significance. Taking the receipts at
Chicago for the even month, the total this year is 401million bushels, against only 30f million bushels last
year and but 12 million bushels the year before. As
ooncerns the provisions and live-stock movement, that
has been somewhat irregular. Of live hogs the de
liveries at Chicago were only 777,922 head in October
1896 against 859,941 head in October 1895, as will ap
pear by the following, giving both the grain reoeipts
at that point and the receipts of hogs, lard, pork, etc.
We may say that the deliveries of all kinds of live
stock at Coicago were only 24,829 car-loads the present
y. ar against 29,843 car-loads last year.

As regards the cotton movement in the South, that
was heavier than last year, but not equal to the excep
tional movement of two years ago. The gross ship
ments overland were 233,521 bales, against 206,093
bales in 1895 and 271,027 bales in 1894, while the
receipts at the Southern outports were 1,424,287 bales,
against 1,174,023 bales and 1,575,551 bales respectively
in 1895 and 1894. |

As a group, Southern roads have done perhaps as
well as any, though the results are irregular notwith
standing the larger cotton movement. Takiag all the
roads in that group there are as many losses as there
are gains, in fact a few more, showing that the depres
sion in trade has been a more important factor than
the gain in the cotton traffic. In the following we
furnish a six-year comparison for a number of Southern
roads.

Much the same remarks applies in the case of South
western roads. Where the grain or the cotton move
ment has been especially heavy there we find an
improvement in earnings; in other cases there is
usually a loss.

Tne most unfavorable comparison of any group is
made by Northwestern roads. This follows from the
contraction in the spring-wheat movement coming
contemporaneously with the depression in business.
Only two minor roads in that group form exceptions
to the rule and report increases.

African mining shares, which have been very heavily sold in
London upon.Continental account during the week. It is gen.
erally assumed that certain houses which hold large blocks o f
Spanish securities have been selling South African mining
shares, for which there is a market in London, for the pur
pose of meeting their differences on Spanish and other foreign
stocks which could not ba sold here; the- market, indeed, for
what are called internationals in London being a very re
stricted one.
The activity in the wheat market of last week has some
what abated, and prices have not generally been maintained,
although the retail dealers have already raised the price o f
bread. It is generally anticipated that while speculation may
unduly advance values at one period, followed by a reaction
afterwards, the general tendency of prices thoughout the
winter will be upward. The harvest which has now been
completed in the United Kingdom has been a far less satis
factory one than had been hoped earlier in the year. The
only crop that can be described as a success, and that only a
partial one, is wheat. In the Southern and Eistern counties
of England, where the wheat ripened early and was gathered
in before the rains of September, the crop was exceedingly
fine; but in the North and West of England, and especially
in Scotland, speaking generally the harvest took place too
late to prevenj; the crop from being very much damaged,
The ease of oats and barley is still worse. In fact, so bad
is the barley crop in many parts of the United Kingdom that
the question of feeding horses with barley is again being dis
cussed in the public press. Immense quantities of barleys
are found to bi quite unfit for malting purposes, ani the
Press is agitating whether this cm not bo used ai fo o l for
cattle.
Toe root crops for the most part have turn id o it vary
unsatisfactorily,and, as I have already reported the week bofore
last, the potato crop has been an exceptionally bid one, whole
acres under potatoes having had to b 5 dug up and the p )tatoes
sent to the nearest market with as little delay as poisible. It
is consequently thought that there will be a considerable
deman 1 1iter in the year for this vegstable, and an appreciably
enhanced price.
The India Council on Wedue3 Jay offered th eu iu ald ) lac3
of rupees for tender, and the market applied for Ri.71,55,000,
at prices ranging from Is. 2 % i. to Is. 2% i. The Council
afterward) sold small parcels at very nearly is 3d. From
April 1 to Wednesday night last the Council had disposed of
18 crores, which realized nearly 10% millions sterling. The
silver market has been dull all the week.
The following return shows the position of the Bank o f

London, S atckday , October 81, 1896,
Although, of c o u m » , long before you receive this the result
of the Fieri Jentiai Eioetion'willjbe known and its effect upon
the markets will b j » >en, neverthl..«s it may be of interest to
record the feeling in the market immediately before the elec
tion, A variety o f circumstances, to which we will refer
pr»-eendy, have contributed t i the general dulneas on the stock
markets daring the week ending to-day, but the moat potent
factor has undoubtedly b -en the uncertainty regarding the
elections which wilt take place on Tuesday. Daring the week
a long telegram appeared in the “ Times " from its correspond
ent in New York accompanied by a long letter by Mr. Morton
Frewen pointing out that all the information we received cami
from one side. It was admitted that the wealth and intelli
gence of the country were for Mr. McKinley, but it was con
tended that the enthusiastic reception of Air. Bryan in Chicago
showed plainly his popularity amongst the working classes, and
it was argued that too great a confidence in the result of the
election, if backed up by the purchases of American securi
ties, might prove very serious to the purchasers.
Naturally, this view has had a very depressing effect upon
the market and fhas tended very much to check .the activity
which was noted both last week and the week before. It is
confidently predicted that if McKinley is elected (which it is
generally expected will be the ca~?), we shall have a great re
newal of speculation in American railroad securities; but if on
the other hand Mr. Bryan should succeed, or even should get
so large a proportion of votes as to show that he hai a really
powerful following in the United Sates, it is feared that we
shall see a terrible fall in prices.
Minor catties for the general depression of the market! have
been the hard ening of the money rates and some anticipated
difficulties in connection with the monthly settlements in
Paris, This has especially affected Spanish stocks and Siuth

oent. To-day’s rates on call were 3 to 4 per cent. Prime
commercial paper is quoted at 5% to 6 per cent.

State and Railroad Bonds.- -Sales of State bonds at the
Board include $147,000 Virginia fund, debt 2-3s of 1991 at
60% to 61% ; §11,500 Louisiana con. 4s at 95 and §1,000
Alabama Class A at 101%.
Railway bonds have been in demand during the week and
the volume of business in this department has been large.
Louisville N. A. & Chicago issues have advanced from 4 toover 7 per cent on the modified reorganization plan, which
increases the rate of interest on the bonds. Wisconsin Cen
trals are nearly 5 points higher than last week on the new
traffic alliance. No. Pacifies have advanced on bids for the
new issues, which appeared for the first time at the Ex
change on Thursday. Notable advances have been made
in several other issues, including American Spirits, U. S.
Cordage, Texas & Pacific, Ore. S. L, & Utah Northern, Mo.
Kan. & Texas, Erie, Col. Midland, Chicago & Erie and Col.
H. V. & Toledo bonds, in which, with the Atchisons, Read
ings, Texas & Pacific, Southern Railway and Chicago &
No. Pacific issues, the transactions aggregate a large amount.
Railroad and M iscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
has been unusually active, and w ith a few exceptions prices
have advanced. There have been liberal sales for foreign
account, which were readily absorbed by the home demand
for investment, and stocks so absorbed are largely taken
out of the market. Of the railroad list some of the lowpriced specialties have been conspicuous, including Northern
Pacific preferred, Mo. Kan. & Texas preferred, Texas &
Pacific, Hooking Valley and Southern Ry. preferred, whioh
advanced an average of about 3 per oent. Many of the
investment stocks advanced a point or more, including New
York Central, Lake Shore, North W est., Central of N. J.,
Lackawanna and Delaware & Hudson. The leading granger
shares have generally been strong, St. Paul being an excep
tion on account of unfavorable traffic reports. Manhat
tan Elevated and Metropolitan Traction gained 6 and 4 points
respectively on renewed rumors of a combination, which has
not been effected, and both stocks have declined.
The miscellaneous list has been erratio. Consolidated Gas
sold at 164% on Tuesday, a gain of 9% points. Col. Fuel &
Iron advanced 6% per eent on renewed activity at the com
pany’s works. American Spirits had gained 5% points to
day, when it sold at 14, affected largely by the judicial de
cision sustaining the legality of the system of issuing rebate
certificates. Western Union gained 4 points on liberal sales.
American Sugar has fluctuated over a range of 3% points,
closing at 119%. American Tobacco has advanced 3% points.
The market has been somewhat unsteady to-day, under per
sistent bear pressure, but net changes are in most oases only
fractional.

At the annual meetiug on Wednesday were elected three
new directors, all friendly to the Gould interests. They are :
General Thomas T. Eckert, John 1’. Terry and A. L. Hop
kins, who fill the vacancies made by the death of Simon
Wormser, F. K, Hain and George Bliss. The other directors
were re-elected as follow s: George Gou'd, E lw in Gould,
Howard Gould, Samuel Sloan, Russell Sage, Joseph Eastman,
Donald Mackay, G. P. Morosini, Warren B. S nitti, R. M,
Gallaway. Mr. Hopkins is President of the New York Susque
hanna & Western and was formerly President of the Wabash.
Railroad, General Thomas T. Eckert is the President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, and Mr. Terry was for
merly a member of the firm of E. D. Morgan & Go. The
executive committee is: George J. Gould, Russell Sage,
Samuel Sloao, R. M. Gallaway and Edwin Gould.
President Gould, it is stated, told a stockholder at the meet
ing that no decision had yet been reached iu regard to equip
ping the road with electricity, but that experimsnts were
still being made, and he believed they would prove satisfac
tory. After the meeting a member of the board stated that
the alleged proposal to bring the company a id the Metropoli
tan Traction Company under one management through an
operating company was not considered and had not bsen con
sidered by the directors in any shape, and that in fact no such
proposition had been even tentatively made. The company,
it was also said, is not now considering any plans for the e x
tension of its system, nor has it in contemplation ths making

has maintained its gross and net income of previous years.

within a very few years reimburse us for this expenditure. Be
sides, the cost of running trains of stock into and out of the
yards has been substantially reduced.
Important Decision. —For some years residents aloDg the
route and the municipal authorities have been contesting the
right of the Chicago Company to maintain its tracks con
necting the yards with the Eastern railroads. We are now
glad to be able to report that the Supreme Court of Illinois,
the highest court of that State, on the 10th instant affirmed
the judgment given by the lower Court in August, 1895, and
thus finally established the title of the Chicago Company and
its right to maintain and operate these tracks. This decision
disposes of a question of large importance.
Statistics.—The income account for three years and the

A tea I.oa rop“ ka ft Santa F* B y — Kansas Receivership.—
At Gikaloosa, K m ., Nov, 11. II, G Neeley, Deputy Gutted
States Marshal, serve I the uecesH ,ry pipers from the Federal
Court on Charles F, J >hnsoo, who was appointed by Judge
Meyers o f the Di-.trict Court receiver of the Santa Fa Itiilwav, restraining him from interfering in aoy way with the
affaire of the railway nystetn, pending a hearing of the
motion to annul the appointment.
It is reported that the statute upan which the Atchison receivershin proceedings ware baaed was not legally enaeted,
and m therefore Told. It is probable that the defense in the
unit will not be on this ground, however, but on the conten
tion that th»- act was nev r intended to apply to railroad compaoiee. and that the Atchison Company cannot be subjected
to its op. ration, and that the whole proceeding is in violatlon of constitutional rig'its. The B^ttiaas State authorities
are reported as regretting the action taken in the local court
beeau e of (he injury done to the reputation of the State.—

Brooklyn Wharf anti Warehouse.—Railroad Contracts.—
Grain Bunines*.—As to tne story in the daily press that his
company had succeeded in making contracts with only one
mllroii i company (the Lehigh Talley RR. Co.) for the trans
fer of freight cars to the wharves of the Brooklyn Wharf &
Warehouse Co., and that the latter was seeking to control the
grain eh valors of the port, President McIntyre says:

Another circular has

The excitement over the electi >n has subsided and iodica
tions have been favorable for a rapid revival of business
activity; in fact in several lines of trade demand has already
shown a material improvement and aft advance in values has
been established. Much speculation has been indulged in
over the probable action of the next Congress on the tariff
question, but at present there seems to be no certainty of any
legislation being perfected. The action of the English Gov
ernment in finally agreeing to admit to arbitration the dis
pute over the Venezuelan boundary line has been received
with satisfaction. Press reports have suggested possible
strained relations between Spain and this country, but they
have had no influence in business circles.
Lard on the spot has been quiet as the demand from ship
pers has been checked, owing to their inability to obtain
freight room for prompt shipment, and the home trade has
been a slow buyer. Prices, however, have held about steady,
closing at 4-50c. for prime Western, 4'20c. for prime City and
4-85c. for refined for the Continent. The local market for
lard futures has been neglected, but at the West there has
been an easier drift to values, the result of a continued free
movement of swine and the slowness of the spot demand,
closing quiet.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has shown in
creased activity, but the course-of prices has continued some
what irregular. though at the close the market weakened un
der active liquidation by tired “ longs.” Saturday the market
declined a few points in response to easier foreign advices
and selling for Southern account. Monday there was some
excitement to the trading; more interest was shown by out
siders than for some time pant, and prices made an advance
for the day o f 15 to 17 points. Buying was general, based
on reports from the South which stated that frosts had been
general over the cotton belt, and consequently that the crop
had been finished. Tuesday the irnrket was firmer dur
ing early ’Change in response to stronger foreign ad
vices. During the afternoon session, however, the market
weakened under increased offerings. prompted by the report
o f the Government's Agricultural Bureau, which stated that
although its returns had been meagre, owing presumably to
the Presidential Election, indications were that the yield
would be larger than promised in its last month's report.
Wednesday there was a further decline o f 8 to 9 points in
values. Holders of cotton were liquidating and a report that
a well-known authority would be out Thursday with an in
creased crop estimate to 9,25«.0f0 bales induced selling,
Thursday the market was quiet, but prices advanced a few
points in response to stronger foreign advices and reports of
a decreased interior crop movement. To-day the market
opened unchanged to 2 points lower, and further declined
during the day under liquidating sales by tired “ longs,”
prompted by the interior receipts for the week showing a
larger movement o f the cron than expected. The close was
week at a decline o f 17*830 point* for the day. Cotton on
the spot has been quiet. Monday prices advanced 1 -1610., but
Wednesday this improvement was lost. To-day the market
was quiet and >£<;. Sower, middling uplands closing at fie,

foi ths week and since September 1. As the returns reach us
by telegraph late Friday night it is impossible to enter so
largely into detail as in our regular monthly report, but all
the principal matters of interest are given. This weekly
publication is of course supplementary to the more extended
monthly statements. The results for the week ending Nov. 13
and since Sept. 1 in the last two years are as follows._______

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 outports, we follow
the same plan as in our regular table of including it when
actually exported from New York, &c. The details of the
shipments of Sea Island cotton for the week will be found
under the head “ Shipping News,” on a subsequent page.

FBlDAf, November 13. 1890
Business in the market for wheat flour has been checked
by the advanced views of sellers. There has been a fairly
good inquiry, hut owing to tb©* higher prices asked as a result
of a sharp advance in the price of the grain, only a very lim
ited number of sale* have been made. Rye fl jur has b?en
firmly held, but busSncsa has been quiet. Buckwheat
flour has been quiet but steady. Corn meal has h ai only a
moderate call, but values hare held steady. To-day the mar
ket for wheat fl ur was firm but quiet.
The specula!ion in the market for wheat futures has baeu
active and at time# excited. Prices have made a further
sharp advance on continued general buying, stimulated by
decidedly stronger foreign advices accompanied by busing
orders, the result of unfavorable crop accounts from Argen
tine, Australia aad Ruads. W elnesdiy there was a slight
reaction tinder realizing galea, prompted by an easier
turn to foreign advices, but Tburs iav the market
again turned stronger and prices advanced sharply dar
ing the afternoon session on a report that Iadia
was a buyer of R u-ian wheat. In the spot market a mod
erate amount of badness has been transacted for export at
higher pricer, To-day the market was higher during
early 'Change in reiponso to stronger foreign advices, bu
later in the day free f elling to realize profits resulted in a de '
eline, closing f£c. lower for the day. In the spot market
there was a limited export demand at firm prices. The sales
included No. 1 Northern at 92Uc. f. o. b. af! iat. No, 1 hard
spring was quoted at 93c, f. o. b. afloat and No. 2 red winter
at &7c. f. o, b, afloat.

TRADE.
N ew Y ork, F riday , P. M., N o v . 13, 1896.
There has been a considerable increase in the volume of
business transacted in cotton goods during the past week, but
still the market has not been active in the usual sense of the
word. That is, the aggregate sales have been made up more
of small to medium-sized transactions than of large opera
tions, such as usually accompany an active market. There
has been some disappointment expressed by sellers at the
continued caution of individual buyers, but really the busi
ness doing is of a sounder character than if there was a fever
ish impatience on the part of buyers to secure large blocks of
merchandise. The tone is healthy and confident, and there is
no difficulty experienced in realizing firm prices. Stocks are
light and sellers are well able to wait until buyers are dispost d
to make liberal provisions for spring. The attendance of buyers
has been abnormally large for the time of year, and seems
likely to keep up for another week or two at least. The tone
of the woolen goods division has improved, but business is
still quiet. A large auction sale of lace curtains (65,000 pairs)
was held on Wednesday, and brought good prices.
W oolen G oods.—The undertone of the market is more
hopeful than for some time past, and although business has
ruled decidedly quiet, sellers look for an expansion of buy
ing in the near future. The backward condition of trade is
shown by the fact that no agent has as yet put out any lines
of new heavy-weight goods for men’s wear in either woolens
or worsteds. Usually a large number of orders have been
taken by this time of the year for the succeeding fall. I
light-weights the demand has again been confined to small
Bized lots in both olain and fancy goods. Full prices are paid
on these but agents who have tried to establish a sligot ad
vance have not bad much success. There has been no move
ment of importance in satinets or cotton warp goods. Cloak
ings are in moderate demand, chiefly in rough-faced goods
overcoating dull throughout. Re-orders for fl inneli and
blankets show some improvement. Fall dress goods are quiet
hut orders for new spring lines are more numerous.

F oreign D r y G oods .—There has been a material increase
in the number o f orders com ing forw ard for dress goods,
silks, ribbons, hosiery, underwear, etc., for spring, but at this
late stage importers are not always able to guarantee desired
deliveries, and business has been curtailed to some extent on
that account. Prices generally firm. In seasonable lines
business has been moderate and confined to filling piecing-out
requirements.
