The Northern
Pacific again leads in amount of increase, having added
to its total $419,000, and this, too, after a gain of
1580,000 in the year preceding, so that the October
earnings have grown in two years over a million dollar?.
The increase of the Canadian Pacific in 1888 was
184,000, and now it reports $267,000 more. In other
parts of the country the improvement is also very
marked, though in a number of cases not preceded by
improvement in 1888. From the extreme Xorthwest
we have an increase of $207,000 by the Manitoba, with
$110,000 more by the Eastern of Minnesota and $33,000
by the Montana Central, making together $410,000.

ance as a whole can easily be exaggerated. The movement of cotton to market was in excess of that in the
same month last year. Yet the remark is not of general
application, some of the ports actually showing diminished receipts.
Nor is the gain in the aggregate as
large as might be supposed.
The exports to foreign
ports were 270,000 bales above those for last year, but
the movement from the plantations shows no such increase.
At the Southern ports the receipts were 181,000 bales more than in October 1888, but on the other
hand the gross shipments overland were only 14:5,744,
against 201,925 bales, being 56,000 bales less.

of corn, oats and rye, so that the aggregate for all

These nine systems have earned a million dollars more
October this year than last, while the gain as compared with 1885 is over two millions. In this interval
same of the companies have doubled their earnings.
There is no other section except the Pacific Northwest that can show a record of growth like this.
In the Southwest and Northwest, the improvement
over last year is also very marked, there being in each
case only one road with a decline, namely the St.
Joseph & Grand Island in the former section and the
Keokuk & Western in the latter. We annex a comparison for six years on a few leading Northwestern

against 187,450.
The Chicago correspondent of the

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
Mr. Edward O. Leech, the Director of the Mint, last week submitted to the Secretary of the Treasuiy a report on the operation^
of the mints and assay offices for the fiscal year ending June 30
1889, from which wo make the following extracts:
The value of the gold deposited was $18,900,712 04, of which
$31,440,778 93 consisted of the product of the mines of the
United States, against §32,406,306 59 deposited during the
prior fiscal year, indicating a falhng off in the gold product of
about a million d:)llars. Foreign gold coin and bullion were
melted down of the value of $6,583,992 65.
The silver received aggregated 35, 627, 273-68 standard
ounces, of the coining value of $41,4.57,190 97. Of the silver
received 32,895,985-50 standard ounces, of the coining value
of $38,278,964 79, was classified as of domestic- production.
The silver purchased for tlie silver dollar coinage during the
year on offers to the Treasury Department aggregated 28,557,109-79 standard ounces, costing $23,998,763 47, an average cost
of $0-9337 per ounce fine.
The average price of silver in London during the year was
$0-9316 per ounce fine.
The total amount of silver acquired for the silver dollar
coinage, including small purchases and partings, aggregated
29,409,845-59 standard ounces, costing $24,717,853 81.
The profit on the coinage of silver dollars during the year

was $9,370,062

20,

and on subsidiary

silver corns $82,987 65;

total seigniorage, $9,403,049 85.
The total coinage of the silver dollars under the "Bland"
act to November 1, 1889, was $343,638,001, and the total profit
on the silver coinage to July 1, 1889, $57,378,254 18; the net
profit (after deducting expenses for distribution and wastage)
for tiie eleven years ended June 30, 1889, was $56,349,737 57.
The number of silver dollars in circulation Nov. 1, 1889, was
60,098,480, and the amount held by the Treasury in excess of

As

yet the withdrawals

of gold coin for Scotland have not been large. But within
the next fortnight about three-quarters of a million sterling

are expected to be sent.
On the other hand, in spite of the great activity in trade
and the rise in prices and wages that] is still going on, the

demand

for gold coin for the English Provinces is decidedly
smaller than was expected. Apparently the new coinage ol
silver is satisfying the demand more largely than people generally anticipated. Bankers find it difficult to obtain half-

sovereigns from the Bank of England, and the Bank is paying
out silver as quickly as it can. The Government is also paying wages at the dock yards and factories almost entirely in
sOver. How far the silver circulation can be increased is a
matter that can be settled only by experience. Silver coins
are evidently more convenient for the working classes, but
the well-to-do classes disUke to carry about a large number of
cumbersome coins. Their objection perhaps, however, can be
overcome if the Chancellor of the Exchequer can secure the

co-operation of the banks all over the country, but bankers at
present are not inclined to co-operate. They point out that
when trade begins to fall off, and consequently the coin circulation contracts, silver will be paid in by depositors in large

amounts. And as silver is legal tender only up to forty shillings, they fear that the Bank of England may refuse to take
319, an excess of 2,089,215 over the amount transferred in the it from them.
If, therefore, the Chancellor of the Exchequer

was also going on. No serious difficulties have been reported,
but the rates charged have been very high. In Berlin they
ranged from 7 to 15 per cent, the most usual charge being
from 8 to 10 per cent, and in Vienna from 12 to 35 per cent.
The liquidation on the Paris Bourse began yesterday. The
state of affairs in Buenos Ayres, too, continues disquieting,
and for the moment business in the market for South African
land, diamond and gold shares is greatly checked by drought
in the Transvaal and by the difficulty of settling the account
here. This department of the Stock Exchange has not as yet
been admitted to the Stock Exchange clearing-house, and this

The Argentine crisis has not changed for the better or the
worse. The premium on gold fluctuates between 110 and 120
per cent, but yet gold shipments from Europe have not taken
place, and the new Argentine loan has not been brought out.

The Argentine Government

to provide itself with funds has
issued an edict ordering the sale of 216,000 square miles of land
at an upset price of two gold dollars per hectare. This would

give about 24 millions sterling. But as purchasers are required to undertake that they will colonize the lands quickly,
and as the lands are parceled out between different nationalities, one-third for English families, another third for Italian,
one-sixth for Spanish, and the remainder for French and Belgian, it does not seem likely that the transaction will be easily
effected.

{"For the

The annual report has been issued

for the fiscal year ending September 30, but the year will probably be changed
to end with Jims 30, 1890.
The report states that the
balance to the credit of improvement account, which has
been increased by the addition of premiums received on
stock and bonds sold, is now §114,070, and the balance
of the surplus account remains as before $763,515.
This
report contains an entire year of the earnings and exof the Boston & Providence
Railroad, while
J)ense3
ast
year's report
contained but six months' business
of that part of the system, thus rendering the comparison of earnings less valuable. The gain in gross earnings of
the year, includin;? in the earnings of 1883-89 the whole earnings of the Boston & Providence Railroad for that year, would
be ^439,3U-1. The cost of the new equipment for the year has
been For locomotives, $77,181 for passenger oars, $137,005;
parlor cars, §'31,404, and for freight cars, §84,615. The usual
rule has been observed. The cost of replacing six locomotives,
twelve passenger cars and ninety-seven freight cars, sold or
broken up, amounting to §131,457, has been charged to expense. The cost of new additional equipment, viz., six locomotives, twenty passenger cars and thirty-four freight oars,
ba3 been charged to improvem?nt aocoimt.
" The new steamer Puritan has been placed on tho line by
the Old Colony Steamboat Company. She has proved an exceedingly comfortable and able boat, with great capacity for
the business, and is a decided advance upon any steamboat
before runuiiig 6n Long Island Sound. The cost of the Puritan was about §1,200,000. The loss of the steamer Bristol,
which was burned at her dock on Dec. 30, 1888, has made it
necessary to provide another steamboat for the line. A contract has been made for the construction of a new iron boat,
to be called the Plymouth, Under the contract she will be
ready for service on July 1, 1890."
The charges to construction account for tho year were
"West Bridgewater Branch, §1,333 Braintree yards and shops,
$28,524
Wrentham Branch Raih-oad, $140,120 Fall River
wharf, $94,330 ; Northern Division second track, §74,593 Land

The comparative statement of earnings, traffic, &3., for four
years ending .Sept. 30 is as follows, the Boston & Pnjvideuce

East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia Railway.
CFor the year ending June 30, 1889.^
Tho annual report in i>amphlet shape has just been issued,
hut the preliminary statistics were quite full and were published in the usual form in the Chronicle of October 13 on
page 469.
Gen. Thomas, the President, remarks that $8,500,000 of the
improvement and equipment bonds have been issued for the
improvement of the property and the acquisition of real
estate, terminal facilities, equipment, etc.
He says that the
Board is more than ever impressed with the importance of
Brunswick as the seaport terminus of the East Tennessee
Company's system of roads.
On the 31st of October, 1888, the Knoxville & Ohio was leased
by the East Tennessee for 99 years on the basis of paying the
K. & O. its net earnings, and guaranteeing that such earnings
each year should equal the fixed charges. For the year ending June 30, 1889, tnere was earned a net surplus of $33,788
over charges, including §80,145 paid for new equipment.

"the completion of the Croton Aqueduct
deprived the company of a large amount of lucrative business,
both freight and passenger. The decrease in earnings from
that source amounted to $67,000 in comparison with the previous year. The through freight service to New England
points in connection with the New York & New England
R. R., via Brewster's, also shows a decrease, owing to the
close alliance between the N. Y. & N. E. R. R. and the Housatouic R. R. and the formation of the New England Terminal
Co. operating lietween Wilson's Point (south of Norwalk) and

City.
The increase of the local freight and
iron ore traffic has, however, aided the company in overcoming a portion of the above losses. The through passenger
traffic has been so small that it is deemed economy to reduce
the tlirough passenger service, by which it is expected the net
earnings will be increased, although temporarily reducing the
gross earning.^ from] this source. The rapid transit service
between New York City and Yonkers,"being an entirely new
liusiness, has in the past year largely incre.ased our pa.ssenger
earnings, but it cannot be expected that the same ratio of increase from that service can continue, although it will, without doubt, develop with the growth of the city." « » *
"It is difficult to present an e.xact comparison of expenses
with the previous year, as during that time the accounts of
the Receiver and the construction of the Yonkers Branch
absor'jed some of the expenses which, during the present year,
are charged to the operation of the road."

This road extenils from Burlington to Cambridge Junction, a
distance of 38 miles, and at the latter point connects with the

"The purchase of a controlling interest of the Ogdeniibarg
Lake Champlain Railroad has proved of great value to the
Central Vermont Company, not only in the iinnually increasing volume of business, but in the advantii^;'-i of the control
of a throtigh Lake and Rail Lino between tide water and
intermediate points in New England and the western jxirts on
the great lakes. It also secured to the Cenlral Vennont lioail
a large and valuable traffic from the Rome Watertown
Ogdensbiu-g Railroad. Between Ogdensburg and C'hicago, and
intermediate Lake points, there have been running this year,
during the season of navigation, eight proiK-llers under the
control of the Central Vermont, and as part of its line, carrying a large amount of grain 'and merchandise. There were
during the season of 1888-9 transported by these boats over
five millions of bushels of grain and 64,139 tons of merchandise for the New England market."
The first mortgage bonds of the Ogdensburg
I^ake Champlain Railroad, amounting to $600,000, mature on the first of
Januai-y, 1897. By the terms of the mortgage, the Directors
can retire these bonds on tlie 1st day of January, 1890, and
have so declared their action and pubkshed the notice.
The sinking fund bonds of that company, amounting to
$371,000, mature on the 1st day of March, 1890, and must then
be paid. These bonds will all be retired by the issue of enough

The interest upon the Wheeling Division bonds, which,
during construction, up to the 1st of January, 1890, is payable
by the contractors, will from that time become a charge upon
the railway company. It is presumed, however, that by tnat
time the busincas of the Wheeling Division will be in fuU and
successful operation, and will provide for the increased burden
of interest. Dividends on the preferred stock at the rate of 4

Atchison Topcka & Santa Fe.— The Boston dL<<patches report bonds being deposited at $3,000,000 a day, and state it is
possible plan may be declared an undoubted success by Dec. 1.
There is no logic equal to the logic of events, aiid this is
now, upon the whole, tue best argument in favor of the Atchison scheme, since the large advance in the bonds and the
favor with which the new mortgages and incomes are received
by the market, is a better argument to the bondholders tlian
pages of good reasoning.
It may DC fairly stated that there have been very few railroad reorganizations in this oountiy which were so favorable
to the bondholders in a long view of the future, and less favorable to the stockholders. In most other cases the stock by
paying a small assessment has procured a permanent reduction of the bonded interest without gi^'ing an equivaltnt, and
this reduction in charges has redounded entirely to the benefit
of the stockholders. In the present case, the stock has to submit to the placing of $80,000,000 income bonds ahead of it, all
of wliich go to the bondholders, so that they must necessarily
draw their full original interest before the stock can hare
anythuig. It is dimcult for us to see how the English can
criticise the plan on the ground of its favoring the stockholders.

The Atchison plan in detail, which has heretofore been published in the front pages of the Chronicle, will be found today in the latter part of the paper.

The company has built no new lines this year.
The Montana Central Railway was completed into Butte on
November 10th, 1888, since which time regular trains have
been run through to that point from St. Paul, adding lai;gely
to the earnings of both the Montana Central and this cOTnpany.

The Montana Central Railway from Great Falls to Helena
and Butte is doing a large local traffic in both freight and
passengers, which, with its through traffic, has made its business both j)rosperous and profitable.
The Eastern Railway is now well equipped for traffic, having its lino coiniJeted into Duluth, and its docks, warehouses
and elevators finished on a scale large enough to provide terminals for the constantly-growing business at the head of
Lake Superior. Its earnings for the coming year will show
that the construction of this road was a wise and profitable

ports.
It is confidently expected that they will, in connection
with this company and the Eastern Railway, prove not only a
good investment financially, but a powerful ally in controlling
trafllc and rates for the country served by our lines.
The Montana extension of this company from Minot, Dakota,
to Great Falls, Montana, has fully justified the expectations of
your Board of Directors. For the year just closed the first
of its operation it has, in addition to earning ita interest,
contributed largely to the dividend of the company, and the
rapid development of the coal, agricultural and live stock interests on tills line akeady shows that it wiU soon be one of
the most productive and valuable portions of the company's
property.
The Sand Coulee coal mines near Great Falls, owned by this
company, are now well opened, and it is expected that the
output will, before the end of 1889, reach 1,500 tons daily.
This coal finds a good market at the smelters of Butte, Helena,
Marysville and Great Falls, on the Montana Central, and for
over 600 miles east on the line of this company. At the
present time over 40 per cent of the locomotive coal used by
this company has come from these mines, as well as all the
coal used by the Montana Central.

The above very extraordinary condition was caused by a
failure of the wheat crop from heavy frost i during August,
1888, which in some localities almost destroyed this crop.
The loss of wheat carried dmiug tlie year jusc closed, as
against the previous year, was over 16,000,000 bushels, the
direct ]o.ss of revenue from which, with the indirect loss of
tlie purchasing power in the hands of the farmers of this large

amount

of wheat, would, together, equal a revenue loss of
This was partly made up by the increase in traffic
from the new lines, snowing a reduction in freight traffic for
the year of $1,200,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
company has earned its interest and dividend and charged to
profit and loss $360,369 74 of accounts and bills formerly carried as assets, making the deficit for the year $130,736 93.
$3,500,000.

This was done while constantly maintaining and improving
the condition of the property and equipment, which are to-day
in first-rate condition. Your Board is of the opinion that the
past years experience shows most clearly the strength of your
property and the abifity to operate its lines with great economy. This is mainly the result of the work done during the
past three years in lowering grades, laying heavier rail, and
improving the condition of the track and equipment generally.
The financial statement on another page of tliis report shows

of Agriculture, on the condition and prospects of the crop on
the 1st of this month, gave strength to values, though a belief
prevailed that ttis influence had been fully discounted in

•were much disappointed with the estimate of 3 per cent improvement in the condition of the crop, as compared with one
year before. On Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning
a recovery of 7@8 points was caused by severe weather
in the trans-Mississippi region, heavy rains, with low temperature and sleet, hail, &c.

THE CHRONICLE.

The foregoing indicates tliat spinners' stocks are now
87,000 bales, against 79,000 halei last year. The cable further
stattH that the avera;e weekly rate of consumption in Great
Britain for October this year is stated by Mr. Ellison to have
been 76,000 bales, but deduction from ih^' month's to'al of
13,000 biles has been made on account of s'.oppage of SDindles.
Last year the weekly average was 75,000 bales. Continental
spindles consumed weekly this October 80,000 bales, against
76,000 bales a yea- ago.

—

ber is given below
TUo November citton returns sliow a remarkable variation In the
eoniUtion in lUfforout localities. In North Carolina and Virginia the
season has Decn very short and excessively wet, and seriously iixjared
by long-continued rains in the season of blossomiuK. Tennessee reports
Irjnry to the crop by wet weather, lack of cultivation and early frosts
during the past montli. In these States the crop is much worse than
:

that of last year.
Elsewhere tlie crop is comparatively late, especially from South Carweed.
In
lowto
Alabama, with large growth
of
olina
have injured the crops east of Missislands early frosts
sippi, while the uplands in the southern belt arc still green. West of
tbc Mississippi, in a large portion of the area, there has been no frost.
The weather for picking has been remarkably favorable, assuring the
gatlicring without waste of all that is opened In excellent condition.
The tlbre is grading comparatively liigb.
Notwithstanding the adverse conditions arising from .abnormal distril)ution of moisture, atl'ecting cultivation, growth and fruitage, the
indications of yield per acre by county correspondents are about three
jwr cent hiifher than last year. So much still depends on future killing
frosts and sunny weather for opening and gathering, that tlie result
cannot be known very closely until after Christmas.
There has not been sever* general loss by the caterpillar and boll
worm, though the damage to some localities has been serious.

East India Crop.

&

—The following

is

from Messrs. Gaddum,

Bytliell
Co.'s reiwrt, dated Bombay, October 11:
Otu: crop news this week is again of a most favorable description, and
throughout India the condition of th", crop has seldom been so good as
lti8n.)w. Viruuigaum still complanis of not bavins enough rain, but
taking this (listnct as compared with the general excellence of our crop,
the Vlr.iujgaum is a unit that would not affect the calculation of our
crop cotimate materially. The Oomra districts are very far forward,
and in many districts picking on a small scale is going on. and will
become general after the Dew.iii holidajs. Broach is in first rate order,
and the plants are looking .splendid. Th« Bengal crop has seldom b?cu
BO go:jd as this year; everywhere the plants are well -covered with
flowers and boUs, and picking is going on and supplies cum ng Into the
market. Some new crop Bengals arrived In the Bombay market during
the week.

the ex])ort demand (on rsports from RuPHia) gave a great impulM to the speculative dealings, which culminated to diy in
a decided advance. The export busioess yesterday aggregated
about 184,000 bushels, and included No. 1 Northern spring at
913^C. and No. 1 hard spring, choice, at fl5>-^o., deliver -d,

has been variable and unsettled. The export
pretty fair each day, but the local tride was
only moderate. Receipts at Western markets were small, but
the prolonged drought which followed the maturing of the
new crop, it is believed, will caus3 it to be in condition unuaually early to be freely mirketed. Ia fact, it has already
been received in limited quantities. Today tht market was
very firm, and No. 2 mixed sold to a modeiate extent for export at 43(3435^0. afloit, but other grades were irregular and

The value of the New York exports since January 1 have
been |7,112,164 in 1889, against .$7,688,319 in 1888.,
The demand for staple cotton goods by jobbers was seemingly gauged by positive requirements, little or no disposition
to anticipate future wants having been manifested.
There
was, however, a very fair business in some descriptions specially adapted for conversion and expert purposes, and such
goods are not only firm but a trifle dearer in some instances.

the past week, but a good steady business io spring fabrics
was Iran Eacttd in commission and importing circles. The
jobbing trade was more quiet than otherwise, local and nearby retailers having found little occasion to renew their assortments, while le orders from interior markets were considerably below the average of preceding weeks. Thire can,
however, be no doubt that the distributing trade of the country at large has been very satisfactory to date, and it is most
likely that a period of cold weather will develop a fair supplementary d< mand on the part of retailers and consumers.
The tone of the market continues steady, anel some descriptions of both domestic and foreign goods have a hardening
tendency.

Domestic Woolen Goods.— As is almost invariably tlie
case " between seasons," the demand for men's-wear woolens
at first hands was light and unimpertant, but there was a
very fair movemeit in spring descriptions on account of
orders placed some time ago by the wholesale clothing trade.
Stocks of both heavy and light weight clothing woohus are
so well in hand that desirable makes are steadily held. Large
lines of ready made clothii g were disposed ot through the
auction rooms, and brought such good average prices that
there is now a better and firmer feeling in the market,
Cloakings ruled quiet, and there was a light business in stockinets ana Jersey clo'hs, but both solt wcol and worsted dress
fabrics were in fairly good demand for next season.
P'ine
doeskin jeans were rather more active, and there was a tair
movement in satinets. Flannels and blankets, also wool and
beaver shawls were lightly dealt in because of the unseasonable mildness of the weather, which has militated against

sheetings and dril's were in pretty {;ood demand, and
with orders for goods to be
made. Bleached and colored cottons were in irregular
request, and upon the whole sluggish. Print ruled quiet, but
liberal orders were placed for printed sateens, challies, lawns,
woven "wash"' fabrics, white goods, &c,, for future delivery.
Flint cloths were in active demand and closed very firm on
the basis of 3,5^c, for 64x64s and 3 3-16c. for 56x60s.
