The great dispute in ths coal trade has come to a sudden
At the close of la><t week 35,000 men and boys were
reported to have struck, and there were fears of a protracted
struggle. But those fears are now at an end, although the
strike has not actually terminated. The mine owners of
Yorkshire held a largely attended meeting on Tuesday at
which they resolved that since the mine owners of so
many other counties have given way, they would not alone
fii<ht the battle of the employers.
As the mine owners of
Yorkshire led the resistance to the demands of the men, and
proposed to be resolved to fight out the quarrel at any cost,
their decision practically ends the dispute.
In consequence

end.
[From our own oorreBpondencj
LONDOS, Saturday, Nov. 3, 1883.
The rates of interest and discount continued to decline in
the early part of the week, so much so that on Thursday the
discount houses decided to lower the rates they allow upon
deposits
per cent. Those rates are now only 2^ per cent
for money at call, and 2^ per cent for money at notice, a
most unusual divergence from the Bank of England rate of
discount which remains at 5 per cent. As was to be expected
the fall in the value of money has led to the resumption of
gold shipments, £440,000 having been taken for South America
on Thursday; and it is understood that a further sum will
soon follow. A new Brazilian Railway Loan is reported as
being negotiated in France and Germany, and if the negotiations are successful, doubtless a third shipment will be made
»n the course of a few weeks.
There are fears, too, that gold
may be withdrawn from the Bank of England for Germany.
The best informed still believe shipments to the Argentine Republic have ceased for the present year
but there is some
doubt as to what the Russian Government may do. Russia
Is about to imdertike a great refunding operation, and at the
same time more money is to be raised. The probability, therefore, is that the Government will do nothing likely to disturb
the London money market. But the action of the Finance
Minister is quite uncertain. The withdrawal of so much gold on
Thursday has had unexpectedly little effect upon the market,
the discount rate in the open market being still no higher than
8 per cent, so powerful are the efforts of the greit financial
houses to keep the market easy.
The price of silver has declined during the week to about 43
pence per ounce, the mint purchases having ceased, and there
being no demand just now for the Continent. The decline
however, caused some buying for India. It does not seem
likely that the Indian demand for silver for some time to
come will be large.
Drought in Madras is threatening some
districts with famine, and is likely to cause a greatly increased
local demand for rice.
In the Bombay Presidency damage is
reported to have been done to the cotton crop also.

acceptance is not disputed, nor is it denied that the Bank was
advised to pay. If under such circumstances bankers are
liable, they naturally argue that they can never be safe in
paying a bill. The Judge foresaw this, and suggested that
bills in future should be made payable at the office of the
acceptor and should be paid by check. But the fact that the
present custom has grown up shows that it is for the convenience of trade, and it is doubtful therefore whether the Judge's
suggestion can be acted upon. Of course, the decision will
be appealed, and it must be a long time bafora a final judgment is arrived at.

^orld are making favorable progress. An arrangement has
been arrived at with the Rio Tinto Company, and it is
expected that the American compmies will have adhered to
this arrangement in two or three weeks. Then there will be
no difficulty in obtaining the adhesion of the other companies. The idea is that the seat of the association is to be in
London, since England is the greatest consumer of copper of
any country in the world. But the American, French and

of the greatest financial houses in England, America
and the Continent are assisting. It will be in the recollection
of our readers that copper fell from £73 a ton in 1883 to
£88 88. 9d. in 1887. In the latter part of last year there was
a rise to about £85 a ton and about the middle of this year
the price actually advanced for the moment to £107 a ton.
It has now again, however, fallen to a little under £80 a ton.
The wheat market has been firmer this week, though no
very material rise has taken place. Sir I. B. Lawes, the
well-known agricultural experimentalist and a recognized
authority on the subject, estimates from the results on his
own farm at Rotharnstead that the wheat yield of the United
Kingdom this year is very much larger than the estimates
hitherto published have represented it to be. If this be so,
the quantity to be imported will be correspondingly sitfaller.
Even the quality of English wheat, Sir I. B. Lawes thinks, will
prove to be better than is usually supposed. The iaference
strengthens what has long been the opinion of millers in this
country that all the supply needed will be obtained without
any material rise in prices. However this may prove to be,
the supplies from Russia continue to be exceedingly large.

THE CHRONICLE.

ChiMgo
On
another pa^e will be found the report of the Preiiidnnt
company for the year ending June 80, eivind all dereKanl to the prog;rei8 and condition of this propjrty,
without which details its mere statistics would he of little use.
Like the leadinx Western r.ads, it shows the ciTect of th > Ute
war of rates, but, unlike some other companies in the same
territory, it shows a continuous increa'te not only in frei)<ht
tonnage and passenger mileage, but also in gross earnings,
and that, too, notwithstanding the drawbacks pertaining to a
road which, for the period under review, was only bait com-
of thii
tails in
plete.
Mr. Stickney's remarks are worth noling on the Inter-State
the yoke which it has imposed on railroad
managers. The law ought to be fair for both sides, ami the
more the subject ia ventilated and the public educated to
understand the point of view of both railroidg and people,
the sooner the friction and uncertainty will be removed and
the law amended and crystallized into proper shape.
This system, starting in 1885 with the Minnesota & Northwestern Railroad, which set out to give the Illinois Central
a connection to St. Paul and Minneapolis, has become an
independent system of 813 miles owned and S8 miles leased,
covering a territory of great importance, as may be seen by
its map in the Investors' Supplement.
Out of eight leadmg Western railroads operating in parts
of the same territory only the C. S. P. & K. C. shows an increase
in its gross earnings during the first nine months of 1888.
The following is a summary of operations during conatruo
_
tion from Oct. 3, 1885, to date, showing the progress made in
various directiona in spite of drawbacks of unflaished road

of Nov. 3, on p. 530. The pampalet report has now come to
hand, and from the remarks of the President, Mr. Jas. H,
Benedict, w« have additional particulars. It should be understood that the company is in fact piying interest on first
mortgage bonds to the amount of lf6,825,000 at 4 per cent,
making $373,000. as 4 will be the rate under the reorganizition pl.n given in the Chronicle of March 19, 1887 (V. 44,

p. 309).
also in the rt turns published in the Chronicle of Nov. 3, make
the interest ^charge |390,000, being the full amount on the
first mortgage bonds at 6 per cent, which is nominally the
amount char^e<ible till reorganization is completed. The suit
for fi reclobure of both mortgages is pending and argument has
just taken place in Chicago to procure an early decree of sale.

Chiengo Sc Atlantic— Mr. Turner, of Turner. McCIure ie
Rolston, counsel for the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company in
the suit for the foreclosure of the Chicago
Atlantic's
two mortgages, has returned from Chicago and states that
the arguments have been closed, and the case (aken under
advisement by Judge Gresfaam without any intimation as to
how long he will take to decide it. The Chicago & Atlantic
operates 270 miles of road from Chicago to Marion. The first
mortgage was made in 1881, and is for $0,500,000, and the second is fcr $5,000,000, made in 1888, but not all is$aed.
The
interest on the mortgages was in default November 1,
Messrs. Johnson
18S4,
Sclick, of Chicago, appeared
for
the Chicago
At'antic Company and diJ
not
resist the foreclosure.
They, however, gave proof that the
Chicago
Atlantic is earning its operating expenses and
interest charges on the first mortgage bonds, as may be seen
by the annual report on another page.
The suit for foreclosure is in pursuance of a plan for the
reorganizition of the bonded indebtedness of the road, which
provides in part for a new issue of bonds of $13,000,000 in
amount, bearing 4 per cent for fire years, 8 percnt thereafter,
W. and $100,C00 only ot
gold, guaranteed by N. Y. L. E.
stock to be held by that company; there will also be $10,000^000 of 5 per cent non-cumulative income bonds. Mr, TnrMT
says there is no probability of a change in the plan.

30. IHMH,
:
In preHenting the second annual report of the General Managt r for the operation of the railway for the year ending
June !J0, 1888, the directors feel that there is reason for congratulation upon its general showing and the progress mnde.
It inoludea ihe Minnesota & Northwestern Kiilroad, and
covers a period when both properties were still under construction and incomplete.
At the commencempnt of the
fiscal year (July 1, 1887) there were in operation 479 37 miles
out of 811 00.
On August 1st there were opened for traffic nhout 26 miles
from Oelwein to Waterloo, and about 90 miles from Chicago
to Dunbar. Fiom August 1st to March Ist we were operating
our own line from St. Paul to Dubuque, and then had to hiie
the Illinois Central Company to take out trains over a circuitous route between Dubuque and Dunbar.where we again took
them on our own rails for Chicago. This arrangement subji'cted
the company to exceptional expense (which has been charged
against income^ and to serious delays prejudicial to business.
Of the 05 miles between Dunbar and Dubuque, 49-57 miles
were constructed by the company, and a perpetual lease taken
over al)out 16 miles of the Illinois Central Company, at three
ptr cent of the agreed value, and over the Dunleith &
Dubuque bridge (about one mile) across the Mississippi River.
That bridge was built some years ago at a cost of $1,51)0,000,
and this company has a perpetual tiackage contract over it at
an annual rental of |30,"000. The 4n-57 miles built by this
company were very expensive and d ffioult of construction
a single mile, including a lunntl, cost over |600,000, and was
scarcely completed by March 1, 1888, when our contract with
the Illinois Central Company for the use of the circuitous
alternative expired. The rails on this section having been
laid after the frost was in the grcund, and the ground covered
with snow, the ops rution of it during March, April, May and
June was exceedingly difficult and expensive.
The arrangement with the Illinois Central, between Dubuque
and Dunbar, beina a temporary one, the company di

erect buildings at Dunbar hence its locomotives had to stand
there without shelter, and it was necessary to keep men in
charge, with fires to keep them from freezing. This cost
heavily both for wages and fuel, and tended, to increased operating expenses.
It is unnecessary to detail all the difficulties and increased
expenditures incident to operating an incompleted railway,
more especially as they are now over.
The General Manager's report shows the average numbtr of
miles operated during the j ear to be 608, against 355 miles

The reductions in rates for the year are abnormal and due
to the " war of rates " which has raged so fiercely duriug the
winter and spring of 1888, and which has so seriously embarrassed many of the older companies. In these matters this

company has occupied a conservative
position.

DAIRY INTEREST.
Especial attention has been paid to developing this interest.
Hilk is now hauled from about 90 miles into St. Paul and
from about 60 miles into Chicsgo. It is hauled on regular
TOSsenger trains, requiring little or no additional expense.
The revenue from tliis source now amounts to about $5,000
per month and is rapidly increasing. Farmers find it profitable, and it is estimated that the number of dairy cows in the
district tributary to the first 90 miles from St. Paul of your
road has increased fully 500 per cent in two years. It is
expected that the revenues of your company from this source
-will more than double in the nf xt twelve months. The example at St. Paul and Chicago is likely to be followed at St. Joseph.
MANUFACTURES FROM CLAY.
"Within the last sixty days large deposits of clay on the line
of your road, ninety miles from St. Paul, have been discovered, which, upon testing, have proven to be of very superior
<|uality for the manufacture of brick, tile, roofing material,
street paving blocks and pottery. Negotiations have been
eoterf d into with one of the largest and most successful
xuanufacturers in the United States, having already in successful operation large plants in Chicago, New York and
Boston, to establish a plant on your road having a capacity to
manufacture fifty car loads of brick per day, which would
yield a revenue of about $150,000 a year in freit;ht. The
directors expect to see this establishment in successful operation within the next year.
LOCAL STATIONS.

tXDuntry.
Substaniial progress has been made during the yfar. At
stations where a year ago was only an open field, there
sue now prosperous villages ranging from a few hundred up
to in a few instancts 1,5U0 to 2,000 people. Movement is especially visible along the new road between Dea Moines and St.
Joseph, and again in Illinois between Dubuque and Dunbar.
r>nring the year the company has issued to individuals 115
permits or licenses to erect warehouses or elevators on its
.ground at Ircal stations, which are now completed or in
process of erection, and at all of the stations are ample
accommodations of superior excellence for handling live
stock, built and owned by the company.
In conclusion, the directors desire to express their confidence in the future of your property, and their gratification
at the progress and position already attained, wtiich are believed to be unprecedented in the history of new railroad con.Btruclion in this country.

sources for the season 1888-89. At that time we
stated that we did not fully understand how the figures of

been arrived at. Now that the circular has reached us by
mail, we are able to give Mr. Ellison's own explanation,
