The fall details of clearings for the week covered by the
above statement will be given next Saturday. We cannot,
of course, furnish them to-day, bank clearings being made
o p h f the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and
hence in the above the last twenty-four hours of the week
ha ve to be in al Icases estimated,as we go to press Friday night.
We present below our usual detailed figures for the pre
vious week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon, November 13, and the results for the corres
ponding week In 1996, 1895 and 1894 are also given. Con
trasted with the preceding week, there is an increase m the
aggregate exchanges of acout fifty-three and a quarter mill
ion dollars, and at New York alone the gain is sixty-seven
millions. In comparison with the week of 1898 the total (or
the whole country shows an increase of 10‘8 per cent. Com
pared with the week of 1885 the current returns record a
gain of 13'2 per cent, and the excess over 1894 is 28'8 per
dent. Outside of New York the excess over 1896 is 11'7 per
cent, The Increase over 1895 reaches 3'G per cent, and
making comparison with 1894 the gain is seen to be 15'3 per
cent.

THE CHRONICLE
THE FI NA NCI AL SITUATION.
Nothing of importance lias transpired this week to
change the course of affairs. In the main the conditions are favorable, but the future is not so assuring
as to make capital venturesome. The foreign trade
statement for October, which we give in connection
with our remarks on foreign exchange, indicates a
highly satisfactory state of the trade balance with the
outside world. At the same time the character of oui
currency, as we have shown in a separate article, keeps
the money market so abundantly supplied with loan
able funds that the foreign exchange market continues
in an unnatural state, betokening more an unfavorable
than a favorable state of current accounts. This
would disquiet no one were it not for the disappoint
ment that exists in conservative circles because of the
interviews with Congressmen which evince a determi
nation to either play with currency reform or at least
not to earnestly pursue it. As a consequence it does
not, in the present shape of the Government revenues,
require a very long leap to jump to the conclusion that
gold will begin to go out after the first of January and
that then the other trying experiences we have so
often suffered from during the last four years will
follow.
The same classes find the outlook further clouded
by other uncertainties connected with the coming ses
sion of Congress. Some strive to make out of Cuba
a stumbling block in the way of progress. We can
not see, as we remarked last week, how that question
can reach an acute stage this year. So long as Spain
is using her utmost .endeavor to conciliate parties in
Cuba, to relieve the restraints on business, and to re
spond to our complaints, it will be hard for bellicose
Senators (even [should [they seek it, which is quite
doubtful,) to enlist any wide-felt j sympathy in efforts
to disturb peaceful relations between Spain and the
United States. A feature which necessarily attends
the meeting of Congress—having in it far more
of danger to our industrial interests and which
should be carefully watched—is the appropriations to
be made for the coming year. With the existing
deficit in the revenue, not likely immediately to be
overcome, it seems as if there could be no two opinions
as to the need for smaller disbursements. It certainly
would be a great disappointment and might prove a
serious mistake if they are increased. With such
vital discussions attendant upon the meeting of Con
gress, it can be no surprise that the prospect has
imparted a more quiet feeling among investors—a
disposition to wait and watch until at least the temper
of our legislators has been disclosed.
In the present waiting attitude of the public mind
regarding -business, changes in the condition of the
iron trade, which is by many looked upon as a sort of
barometer of our industries, are watched rather more
closely than usual. Hence it is interesting to note
that prices of iron and steel have undergone some de
cline during the week, and that the tendency for the
moment seems to be downward. In many standard
grades of iron no change has occurred, hut gray forge
a t Pittsburg is 10 cents a ton lower than last week and 25
cents lower than a month ago. Steel billets are 50 cents
lower at Pittsburg and 75 cents lower at Philadelphia,
while in both cases the decline as compared with a

month. In finished iron and steel likewise several
changes in a downward direction have taken place.
The significance of this decline as an indication of
the state of general trade may easily be exaggerated.
Indeed, it is not necessary to go outside the conditions
of the iron trade itself for an explanation of the sag
ging tendency. Production at the moment is on a
prodigious scale. The output of pig iron, it is
expected, will presently be at the rate of 1,000,000
tons a month. It k true that the latest figures
show that consumptive requirements have thus
far more than kept pace with the growth in the out
put, stocks of pig metal having decreased rather than
increased. But obviously we cannot extend our produc
tion indefinitely, and with any set-back to the revival
in trade we should quickly find that our furnaces were
making more iron than was needed to meet the require
ments of consumers. What is true of the raw material is
true also of the finished forms of iron and steel. For
instance, the ‘Tron Age” says “ it must be recognized
that it takes a tremendous tonnage to keep the great
mills in fair humor.” The “ Age” thinks not too
much significance should be attached to the present
receding tendency in prices. Still its reports say that
buyers and sellers are skirmishing for position, and it
is evident that the immediate future of the iron and
steel trade will depend largely upon the outlook and
condition of general business.
We publish on another page our statement of the
gross and net earnings of United States railroads for
the month of September. It attracts attention by
reason of the magnitude of the gains disclosed, the
improvement in the gross on the roads reporting
being over 10 million dollars and in the net nearly
5f million dollars. It does not seem likely that
the October statement will equal
that for Sep
tember in this respect; still the gain is sure
to be large. For the current weeks of November the
exhibits are also exceedingly gratifying. Some of the
roads are showing less striking gains than hereto ore,
but on the other hand a new group is coming to the
front with very heavy increases. We refer to the
roads in the Southwest. With the embargo on
trade arising out of the yellow feverlemoved
and the cotton movement also progressing with
great freedom, some of these roads are now
reporting the largest earnings in their history.
The first week of the month the comparisons were made
unduly favorable by the fact that there was only one
Sunday in the month this year against two last
year. But the improvement is very noteworthy
even for the second week. Our preliminary state
ment for that week, published in our railroad
department, covers 50 roads in various parts of the
country, and show's a gain of $1,043,939, or 19-53
per cent over the same week last year. On the Missouri
Kansas & Texas the increase is $70,625, or nearly 25
per c e n t; on the St. Louis Southwestern the increase
is $26,100, or about 25 per cent; on the Texas & Pacific
it is $52,515, or over 30 per cent. In other parts of
the country the Canadian Pacific has $156,000 ncrease; the Milwaukee & St. Paul, $147,105; the
Denver & Rio Grande, $41,400, and the Missouri
Pacific, $115,000.
The money market has been very dull this week and
some bankers report it as almost stagnant. Money on
call, representing bankers’ balances, has loaned at
and at 2 per cent, with the bulk of the business and
the average at I f per cent. Banks and trust com-

panics make no change in their minimum compared
with last week, some loaning at 2 per cent while others
seek to maintain 21 per cent. Very little business is
done in time contracts, though the offerings are lib
eral, and rates are 21 per cent for thirty to sixty days,
3 per cent for ninety days to five months and 34 per
cent for sis to eight, months on good Stock Exchange
collateral. November is the month when merchants
usually liquidate their indebtedness, and it is reported
that this movement is now quite general and there is
no new borrowing. Consequently the market is quite
bare of commercial paper, while the demand continues
good and the business is confined to a few choice names.
Rates are 34 per cent for sixty to ninety day endorsed
bills receivable, 3|@4§ per cent for prime, though
some sales have been made at 34 per cent, and 4l@5
per cent for good four to six months’ single names.
The .Sub-Treasury has been transferring moderately
large amounts of currency to New Orleans this week,
sending $450,000 up to yesterday, and now that busi
ness there is reviving because of the abatement of the
yellow fever epidemic it is expected that requirements
for money will increase. But banks having extensive
correspondence with the South report that they are
moving very little money to that section as yet, and
indeed not much to other parts of the interior. The
City Bank last week showed the large increase of
$6,418,200 in loans and $6,413,900 in deposits. This
was reported to he due to a loan to the Union Pacific
Syndicate in anticipation of the payment of the first
instalment of the purchase money.
There was some slight political tension in Europe
early in the week growing out of the strained relations
between Austria and Turkey caused by the demand by
the former for reparation for the treatment of an Aus
trian merchant at Mersina. Turkey made partial
reparation in obedience to this demand, and then
Austria required that payment be made to the
Turkish Railway- Exploitation Company, in which
Austrians were interested, for the transportation of
troops during the Creco-Turkish War. Turkey
hesitated, whereupon the Austrian Ambassador at
Constantinople gave notice that if the require
ment was not complied with by Thursday he
would leave Constantinople. On Wednesday it
was announced that Turkey had yielded. On Thurs
day a Shanghai cable was published stating
that the Admiral commanding the German Asiatic
squadron on Monday entered Kiaoehon Bay, on the
Shangtung coast, for the purpose of demanding satis
faction for the recent murder of two German mission
aries. lie found three forts occupied by Chinese troops
and sent an ultimatum to the Chinese commander de
manding the evacuation of the forts within three hours.
At the expiration of this time he landed a force, where
upon the Chinese abandoned the forts and the German
Admiral took possession. The news of this incident
appeared to have no influence upon the European
markets on Thursday. The Bank of England mini
mum rate of discount remains unchanged at 3 per
cent. The cable reports discounts of sixty to ninety
day bank bills in London 2-J per cent. The open
market rate at Fans is 2 per cent, and at Berlin and
Frankfort it is 44 per cent. According to our special
cable from London the Bank of England gained
£404,153 bullion during the week, and held £31,017,033 at the close of the week. Our correspondent fur
ther advises ns that the gain was due to the import of
jE!)8 ,0Otj wholly from the Cape, to the receipt of
949
£346,000 net from the interior of Great Britain and to
the export of £40,000, wholly to Russia.
The foreign exchange market has been dull and
almost featureless during the week. There has been a
good supply of cotton and grain bills, but these seem to
have been promptly absorbed, for not much impression
has been made upon the market. The tone was
steady to firm early in the week, but it grew slightly
easier, though not quotably lower, on Wednesday,
partly because of the fact that there would be no
fast steamer until Saturday. Brokers say that not
only the character of the steamer but also the
date of sailing seems to have some influence
upon the market, those steamers which are fas
and which will arrive at or before the end of the week
being preferred for remittance, while there is a lighter
demand for exchange to remit by a slow steamer or by
one which will arrive out on or after Monday, the
interest for two day% being a somewhat important
item when discounts are comparatively high in Lon
don. The mercantile demand for remittance, which
was a feature last week, seems to have subsided, but
there has been buying of long sterling to hold until
it runs to sight, and this inquiry was good on
Thursday. Last week it was reported that £275,000
in sovereigns had within a few days been shipped
from Sydney, N. S. W., for San Francisco. It was
announced on Monday that the Mariposa from Syd
ney would arrive at San Francisco before the end of
the week with £300,000 sovereigns. The steamer
arrived yesterday.
Nominal rate- for exchange remain unchanged at
4 834 for sixty-day and 4 86@4 864 for sight. The
market was dull and steady on Monday and Tuesday
and rates for actual business were unaltered compared
with those at the close on Friday of last week, at
4 82-}'". 1 S3 for long. 4 854('{4 85£ for short
and 4 854@4 86 for cable transfers. On Wednes
day the tone was a little easier, and some bank
ers quoted sight sterling and cable transfers nearly a
quarter of a cent lower, but the market was steady
at the close, and no change was made in rates for
actual business. There was no new feature on Thurs
day, except that long sterling was firm, and the market
was dull and steady to strong at the close. The same
conditions prevailed yesterday, the close being dull
and firm. The following shows daily posted rates for
exchange by some of the leading drawers.

TRADE, F O R E I G N E X C H A N G E
A N D GOLD IMPORTS.
The foreign trade figures for another month have
been published and widely made a topic of remark.
There is one important idea they suggest, the most
important of the many thoughts they bring to mind,
we have not seen noticed. We refer to the significant
fact, they illustrate so tellingly, that every one of our
diverse currency systems is so wholly out of touch
with commerce that the quantity of the notes afloat
has no tendency to decrease or increase with a decrease
or increase in commercial requirements.
As we said last week when writing with reference to
our national bank notes, every one can understand
without having studied economic questions that the
people need more instruments of exchange when they
have added work for such tools to do, as for instance
when crops are to be moved, than when that work has
been substantially finished and there is no call for the
added facilities. We also showed a week ago that the
only alteration which has ever taken place in the vol
ume of our national bank notes in active circulation
has been made in response to the price of the un
derlying bonds, the volume having never been
in any extent affected by the wants of com
merce.
As to the amount of the silver
certificates and the two classes of legal-tender notes
afloat, there has been of course no natural fluctuation;
as a rule, in a normal state of the Government rev
enue, these notes go in and out of the Treasury with
very little daily difference between the total inflow and
the outflow. Years ago, when there was a consider
able Government surplus, the Secretary of the Treas
ury found it needful to, and consequently sometimes
in a measure did, regulate the outstanding amount of
these notes by permitting accumulations in Govern
ment vaults in the summer and winter and putting
those accumulations out in spring and fall by en
larged purchases of bonds. That was an artificial
arrangement, and was useful in the absence of any
natural action, but it was at the same time objection
able, because it gave to an individual power over the
money market, which cannot be desirable •however
high in public esteem the Secretary may be.

THE CHRONICLE.
[VOL. LXV.
We cannot say that this view of the matter presents
to last until next Wednesday, when a positive effort
will presumably be made to bring the quarrel to a a cheerful outlook for the industrial problem; nor,
on the other hand, does the long continuance of this
settlement.
The cause and nature of this English labor trouble
were set forth so completely by our Manchester cor
respondent in the Ch r o n ic l e of September 11, that
we need at present only to recall one or two salient
points. It has been very clearly recognized that a
new principle in labor disputes is under experiment in
the episode. This particular industrial battle is not
strictly defensive warfare, so to speak, on the part of
the employers. It is offensive and aggressive war ; in
fact, it may be said that although the employes
clearly began the struggle—not being provoked to it
by a reduction either in wages or hours—the employ
ers have consistently forced the fighting ever since the
London strike began. The contest has, moreover,
developed an expedient startling in its novelty and
quite unknown, if we are not mistaken, in all the
labor disputes of this country. As against the gen
eral policy of a “ sympathetic strike” adopted on oc
casion by labor unions, the Federation of Engineer
Employers, which is as formal an organization as that
of the laborers, voted in July a “ sympathetic lock
out.” That is to say, if any member of the employ
ers’ union was approached by the labor organization
with a demand for shorter hours, enforced by threat
of a whole or partial strike, all the other employers
would by agreement “ lock out” a corresponding per
centage of their employes.
Of course the adoption of this policy led to an ab
solute withdrawal of all employes m the federated
factories, under the orders of the laborers’ union, and
on this basis the quarrel has continued up to the pres
ent week, upsetting this particular branch of the iron
trade in more than a dozen important English cities.
There has not, unnaturally, been some outside protest
against the employers’ policy, on the ground that the
policy of a “ sympathetic lock-out. ” may affect and
probably has affected laborers not in sympathy with
the demands of the laborers’ union, and willing to work
under existing conditions. To this criticism the
employers have answered : first, that they merely fore
stalled the anticipated action of labor unions, and, sec
ond, that if laborers willing to work on existing terms
are hurt by the “ sympathetic lock-out,” they are equally
hurt by a “ sympathetic strike.” In other words, the
employers’ union is merely using its adversaries’ habit
ual weapon. In proof of this contention, it is pointed
out that whereas the lock-out as voted affected only
one-fourth of the employes of the federated mills, the
retaliatory strike ordered by the Amalgamated Society
of Engineers deprived of the opportunity of labor all
the remaining three-fourths, affecting, therefore,
three times as many laborers as the order of the em
ployers.
It is not our purpose to discuss the future possibili
ties of this new move in industrial warfare. Some of
the English newspapers hold that, although under
this novel principle “ the immense increase in the area
of battle is an evident evil,” yet “ there will be fewer
battles and the result of each battle will be much more
decisive and final.” This is the judgment of the Lon
don “Economist,” which concludes its argument by
presenting the analogy of such a contest with interna
tional wars, pointing out that “ it was when armies
were small that campaigns were exceedingly bloody
and that wars lasted as many years as they now last
weeks.”
particular struggle tend to confirm the prediction of
short “ campaigns.” This very analogy to military
warfare certainly would suggest arbitration if arbitra
tion were feasible. It is, in faet, the great destruc
tiveness of modern international warfare and its
enormous burden on society which have for the most
part stimulated the present movement for interna
tional arbitration. If, then, the “ Economist’s ”’
analogy were to be pursued in the light of contem
porary diplomacy, the time would certainly appear to
be ripe for arbitration of industrial disputes.
But the difficulties surrounding the question of in
dustrial arbitration are very great. It is always pos
sible, of course, for the two parties to such a contest
to agree to submit their case to a joint tribunal of
arbitration; indeed, this recourse has been in a meas
ure agreed upon by both parties in the engineers’ dis
pute. Each side has professed its willingness to sub
mit its case to an impartial body with a membership
chosen in equal parts by employers and employes.
But the efforts of Mr. Ritchie and the Board of Trade*
to effect a formal agreement have been steadily blocked
by the familiar obstacle in the way of arbitration: un
willingness to arrange the court of arbitration with a
neutral chairman having a casting vote which would
ensure a verdict one way or the other, and the diffi
culty of procuring the assent of both parties to abide
by the decision of such a court in all its findings.
Theoretically, nothing could be more proper or de
sirable than the submission of such a case to a compe
tent and impartial jury. This very engineers’ dispute
fairly bristles with technicalities on which the twoparties to the controversy flatly contradict each other.
The engineers point out that a considerable propor
tion of the mills in their line of business already grant
the shorter hours, and that the owners profess them
selves satisfied with the result. The federated em
ployers answer that these mills are small, that they
cater to a special branch of trade, and that for these
and other stated reasons it is possible for them to earn
a living profit on terms which would mean actual loss
to other establishments.
It would seem to be obvious enough, under such:
circumstances, that not only public interests but the
interests of the trade would be subserved by a review
of the case at the hands of a competent and impartialjury. On this basis many of the London papers and
reviews have revived the positive proposition for com
pulsory arbitration of such disputes. It is contended,
as it has often been argued before, that since there is
a third party to all industrial disputes—namely, thegeneral public, which suffers by the resultant trade
demoralization—contestants who will not settle by
voluntary agreement or arbitration ought to be re
quired to submit their case to a formal arbitration
court erected under the public auspices. A good deal
of attention has been attracted to the operation of com
pulsory arbitration in New Zealand, where the experi
ment has been worked out with considerable success.
1 he National, Review for November contains an
article in which this Australasian experiment is de
scribed with interesting detail. The law, it seems,
was adopted in 1894, after standing on the calendar
of the New Zealand Legislature for three years. It
was applied to the whole community, and has been
followed, during the two subsequent years, by an

very many of the disputes being in fact settled by the
so-called “ conciliation board ” provided by the Act,
and not being carried to the arbitration court of final
appeal. The penalty for violation of the order of this
court is £500 or less, in the court’s discretion, levied
on anv individual employer or Trade Union, and if the
Union’s funds are insufficient, each of its members is
assessable to the extent of £10.
Mr. Reeves, the writer of this article, and some of
the London newspapers, contend that the New Zea
land experiment is applicable to all other communi
ties. But even Mr. Reeves admits that New Zealand,
owing to its small population and limited field of
manufacture, was a comparatively easy field in which
to apply the compulsory system, fie prudently shuns
the application of his own conclusions distinctly to
the engineers’ dispute. It is, in fact, when the theory
is applied to quarrels involving interests of such
enormous magnitude and individual employes in so
great number that the philanthropist feels the real
discouragement of the case. Nine-tenths of these
disputes converge on the question of wages, or on the
kindred question of length of hours. They enter,
therefore, into the delicate question of cost and com
petition ; in England, where the pressure of German
competition, not to mention that of the United States,
is already severely felt, the whole question of the ex
port market is involved.
Now we can readily believe that in a given case the
employer may be willing to give up much for the sake
of peace with his employes. We have no doubt, de
spite the bad blood already provoked in this engineers’
dispute, that it will eventually be settled by at least
some concession. But the theory of an arbitration
court assumes necessarily permanent jurisdiction and
permanent awards. Let us suppose the employer to
accept the court’s decision in the matter of wage
scales to-day; what is to be his course when
the character of his market suddenly changes ?
Must he appeal to the court for permission
to reduce his wages in a bad season, and must
the trades union, on the other hand, applv for a species
of mandamus to compel a higher rate in times of
great prosperity? Certainly it is inconceivable that
the court’s award will fix an arbitrary rate for all
time. But if it doe3 not do this, it becomes, at all
events, the permanent dictator of the rate of
wages, and the manufacturer must enter on his busi
ness with the knowledge that the most important ele
ment in cost of production is to be fixed for him byoutsiders whose interests are not at stake in the com
mercial outcome, and who can make or ruin a season’s
profit by their simple ipee dixit.
Would manufacturing industry offer any great in
ducement to capital under such a system ? Would
the condition of labor itself be bettered ? If the
decisions of the court were to lean steadily to the side
of the employer, could the employes, in such num
bers for instance as the English engineers’ union
comprises, be brought to submit graciously to the
operation of the law ? If, on the other hand, de
cisions leaned uniformly against the contention of
employers, and the inevitable withdrawal of capital
from the trade ensued, to what extent would the em
ployes be benefited ? We do not believe that the
compulsory arbitration theory has a chance of solving
the industrial problem until these questions have been
finally and satisfactorily answered.

THE BALTIMORE £ OHIO REPORT.
Special care is needful this time, in the examina
tion and study of the Baltimore & Ohio report, to
avoid erroneous conclusions. It is undeniable that on
its face the report makes a rather discouraging show
ing. On the one hand the income results disclose a
failure to earn fixed charges for the twelve months in
the sum of $1,177,121. On the other hand the bal
ance sheet brings to mind the fact that receivers’ cer
tificates were added to during the year in the sum of
$2,599,000, that the amount of car trust bonds and
lease warrants was increased $6,098,310, and that at
the same time there was an augmentation in the item
of “ Special Loans and Bills Payable” in amount of
$1,865,612, making the aggregate expansion in these
three classes of liabilities nearly 10£ million dollars.
But while such results are undoubtedly unfortunate
and furnish much food for serious reflection, there is
danger that they may be given a more unfavorable
coloring than the facts warrant, thereby leading security holders and the public to take an unduly de
spondent view of the future of the property—which
they are apt to do any way when a railroad is in the
hands of a court and operated by receivers. It will
appear as we proceed that the adverse showing now
disclosed is in large measure the result of exceptional
conditions, and that with the removal of these the
outlook might easily and very quickly change.
As far as the final result in the income statement is
concerned, the showing has apparently been growing
steadily less satisfactory since the receivers have been
in control of the property—that is to say, in 1894-5
the company was able to show a surplus above charges
on the operations of the year in amount of $1,709,681,
in 1895-6 the surplus fell to $127,505, while now for
1896-7, as already stated, we have a deficiency below
charges in the sum of $1,177,121. If we rested here,
the conclusion would necessarily be unfavorable. But
tracing the changes back to the causes responsible for
them, things assume a decidedly better look. In
the first place we find that the altered result
can not be ascribed to any falling off in the gross
earnings, that on the contrary, these have been
steadily rising, the total having been $25,582,122
in 1896-7, against $23,944,781 in 1895-6 and
$22,817,182 in 1894-5. Here then is an encourag
ing feature at the start. The business of the road
has not been allowed to go to decay, but has been ex
tended and developed. And this view is further con
firmed by reference to the traffic statistics. Thus in
the late year the road moved'more freight than in
any previous year, 18,716,655 tons having been trans
ported, against 17,861,927 tons in 1895-6 and 16,080,423 tons in 1894-5. In the tonnage movement one
mile (which represents the actual amount of transpor
tation work done) the p ogress has been yet more
striking, the company having carried 3.499 million
tons one mile in 1896-7, against 2,836 million tons in
1895-6 and 2,456 million tons in 1894-5. In this
latter case the expansion in two years, it will be seen,
has been 424 per cent—a remarkable showing.
To what, then, is the unsatisfactory net result to
be attributed? It might follow from any one of three
causes, namely increased fixed charges, a contraction
in the income from investments, or augmented ex
penses. As a matter of fact, all three have contrib
uted to make the outcome unfavorable. Fixed charges
have risen, roughly, a million dollars, while income
954
THE CHRONICLE.
from investments has shrunk to the extent of some
1587,000. The two together, however, account for only
about 1£ million dollars, merely a small part of the
great difference between 1896-7 and 1894-5. lienee
we are compelled to fall back upon the third cause*
namely an increase in expenses, to get an adequate
explanation of the changed outcome. And here the
figures are really striking. Expenses for 1896-7 were
$20,012,093, against only $15,801,044 for 1894-5, the
addition thus having been nearly 4£ million dollars.
The influence this has had in diminishing the net earn
ings is of course obvious. With gross of $25,582,122
in the late year against $22,817,182 in 1894-5, net was
only $5,570,028 against $7,016,138.
We have stated above that the growth shown in
traffic and gross earnings was a favorable feature. But
the great augmentation in expenses which has occurred
coincidently—much greater in amount than the gain
in gross revenues—brings up the question whether the
statement may not, after all, need qualification. If
the cost of moving the additional tonnage was more
than the revenue derived from it, evidently there was
no profit in the operation, and the venture was a losing
one. Growth of traffic of this kind would have
nothing to commend it. We have no doubt, too,
that the general conclusion will be that ,the addi
tional traffic secured was of this description—
that is non-paying. Moreover, the low average
rate realized on the company’s tonnage appar
ently lends support to that view. But plausible
though such a contention may seem, analysis of the
expense accounts shows that it is not justified. Of
the total increase in expenses during the two years of
$4,211,050 only $1,246,283 occurred in the cost of con
ducting transportation and $248,112 more occurred
und- r the head of general expenses, the heavier ex
penditures in these two instances following, presuma
bly, from the great enlargement in the volume of
traffic moved. On the other hand, in the expendi
tures for maintenance of equipment there was an in
crease of $1,429,126 and in the expenditures for
maintenance of way and structures an increase of
$1,287,52,9, being together almost 2f million dollars.
Put in another way, general expenses and cost of con
ducting transportation have risen in the two years
from $10,862,095 to $12,356,490, while expenditures
for maintenance of equipment and maintenance of way
and structures have risen from $4,938,949 to $7,655,603. In the one case the increase has been less than
14 per cent, in the other almost 55 per cent.
That the receivers have been spending unusually
large amounts on maintenance account has been known
for a long time. The final comparison in the fore
going shows how really exceptional the maintenance
expenses have been. Some $300,000 of the increase
may be attributed to a change in the company’s
method of treating the equipment renewals, hut the
bulk of the remainder must be regarded as reflecting
the wholly abnormal character of the charges for
maintenance; and this view finds further confirma
tion in the remarks contained in the report. For in
stance, the report tells us that during the year the
receivers rebuilt a large number of bridges, putting in
modern steel bridges, capable of carrying the heaviest
trains, in place of old iron bridges built many years
ago when rolling equipment was light, and which it
had become necessary to support with wooden trestles.
The cost of all these new bridges was charged
to maintenance of way. Again we are told that
[Y ol.
jlxa
.
the receivers also found it necessary to arch a
number of tunnels and to place in the track much
more than the normal amount of new steel rails, cross
ties and ballast. As an illustration of such expendi
tures it is mentioned that the entire Washington
Branch was relaid with steel rails, the ties largely re
newed and a great amount of stone ballasting put in,
the full earnings of this branch having been used to
put its roadway in perfect condition. The Philadel
phia Division is referred to as another instance, more
than one-third of the ties on it having been renewed
during the year. As to the heavy equipment outlays,
the report makes this statement: “ The receivers have
placed in thorough repair all the cars and engines of
the company which could profitably be p it in condi
tion, and hence the large increase in expenses for
maintenance of equipment.”
It is thus evident that smaller net results, following
from the cause here enumerated, indicate nothing as
to the profitableness of the additional traffic which
the road has secured, nor are they to be taken as re
flecting a permanent imjiairment of the road’s earn
ing capacity. For the same reason the high ratio of
expenses to earnings, upon which so much stress is
being laid in certain quarters—it having cost over 78
per cent to operate the road in the late year—furnishes
no basis for gauging the operating cost in the future.
Expenses we see were swelled for a special reason.
When these extra outlays are again eliminated, be
cause no longer necessary, the operating cost, we may
suppose, will also again drop to normal figures.
Obviously the object in view in these heavy expendi
tures has been to add to the capacity and efficiency of
the property, so as to enable it at once to do an in
creased volume of business and to do it at a smaller cost
per unit of work. It is this object also that explains
the large outlays on capital account, independent of
the heavy charges made directly against earnings. The
increase of $6,098,315 in the car trust obligations d u r
ing the year indicates the large purchases of equip
ment (locomotives and passenger and freight cars)
which have been made, and it is proper to say, too, that
since the close of the year there have been further pur
chases of this character for an aggregate amount of $2,383,395. Again, the report shows that the construction
expenditures during the year, representing outlays for
additional track, sidings, real estate, etc., amounted
to $1,895,497. Besides this there were heavy outlays
on the Baltimore Belt Road and in various other direc
tions. Just how much more money will be needed in this
way we do not know, and the report does not
tell us. It is obvious, however, that the receiv
ers are simply anticipating the new capital which
it is usual to provide in the case of embarrassed prop
erties after reorganization. In any scheme for the
rehabilitation of the B. & O. property the receivers’
certificates will of course have to be taken care of, but
to the extent that new capital wants have already been
provided for it will not be necessary to raise additional
amounts. And this is a fact which should be borne in
mind in considering the future of the property.
We do not pretend to say whether or not the receiv
ers, in making such large capital outlays, are keeping
strictly within the actual requirements of the situa
tion, but that the policy of putting the property in
position to handle and move traffic more economically
and in increased volume is the only feasible policy
and the only correct one—of this there' can be noquestion whatever. Conditions have greatly changed

GROSS AND N E T E A R N I N G S
FOR SEPTEMBER.
It was known from the first that the September
statement of earnings, both gross and net, would he
exceedingly favorable. The results fully hear out the
early anticipations. In gross the increase over last
year on the roads reporting reaches the large sum of
110,1(51,090, or 14*37 per cent, while in the net the
improvement is $5,491,948, or 24*21 per cent. We
have no record of any previous gains of t his magni
tude. The conditions which prevailed are well known
to our readers. The grain movement was of extra
ordinary proportions, while at the same time a revival
in general trade was under way. On the other hand the
yellow fever was a drawback in the South, the cotton
movement fell much below that of a vear ago, while
the bituminous coal strike also continued as a depress
ing influence for at least the first half of the month.
The following furnishes the totals of the earnings
both for the month and the nine months. For this
latter period our compilation U somewhat more com
prehensive than for the month, as it includes a num
ber of roads which will furnish quarterly but not
monthly returns. As showing how much better re
sults are now than at the beginning of the year we
may note that while for September the ratios of
gain, as already stated, in gross and net were respect
ively 14*87 per cent ami 24 21 per cent, for the nine
months the percentages arc respectively only 4\25 and
11*18 per cent.

the roads distinguished for either large gains or large
losses, and find that in the case of the gross there are
this time none of the latter. In other words, there
is this time no road which has sustained a falling
off in gross receipts amounting to as much as
830,000. On the other hand, there are at least two
systems which have enlarged their gross revenues
in the sum of over a million dollars, the Burlington &
Quincy reporting 11,249,693 gain and the Pennsylvania
(Eastern and Western lines combined) $1,192,500. In
the net the improvement is hardly less noteworthy,
the Pennsylvania showing 87:15,000 gain, the Burling
ton & Quincy $862,929, the Northern Pacific $638,055,
the .Southern Pacific $-103,307, &c., &c. The only
roads distinguished for largo losses in net are the
Lehigh Valley and the Mexican Central and the Mex
ican National, and except in the last case the losses
follow entirely from increased expenses.

The deficit here shown for the year 1896-97 is attributed to
the following causes: The strike in the coal fields, which
pra itically closed that business for two and one half months ;
the business depression throughout the country, augmented
by the Presidential canvass and the tariff agitation ; disas
trous floods which in March practically caused a cessation of
the company’s business for many days. If the revival of
business continues it is expected the losses which occurred
last year will be more than made up, the gross earnings
from July 1 to Nov. 15 beiog §230,509 in excess of those for
the same period of last year.—V. 65, p. 1223.
No charge has been made against the road for use of
B. & O. cars and engines, though repairs to B. & O. have
been charged to this and other branches as well as to main

Bay State Gas.—Annual M eting ,—The mystery -sur
rounding this property was heightened this week 'by the
reports published in the daily press regarding the annual
meeting held at Witifiington, Dal., on Tuesday. Nearly every
one whose name is mentioned i - the despatches denied em
phatically tin* truth o' the statements as to what was trans
acted at the meeting, and the alleged report of the Treasurer
to the effect that the company had $1,000,000 in the treasury
and debts of only $2,700 was ridiculed as absurd on the face
of it, for had the company received as high as $10 per share,
as is not very likely, for its $88,000,000 of new stock, the
total realized would* be only $3,5’ 0,00 >. We have obtained
from a Wilmington paper the local report of the meeting
and publish i t ’ below for what it is worth, it being thought
by some that the denials may be more or less technical,
though in point of fact tho whole statement may be false :

The regulations adopted last November, controlling the
rates on American traffic to competitive points in Mexico,
are being submitted to arbitration, and it is probable that
the arbitrators w ill fix new rates from the commencement of
next year. The pool for European goods has continued in
operation since 1st December last. The loss on exchange in
the half-year amounted to £95.715, an increase of £11,511 over
that of the half-year immediately preceding.—V. 63, p. 880.
Memphis & Charleston RR.— Unexpected Turn in Fore
closure Proceedings—Consolidated Mortgage P a id Off.—At
Cincinnati on Thursday, the 11th, the case of the Farmers’
Loan & Trust Co. against the Memphis & Charleston came
up on appeal, the appeal having been taken by the Central
Trust Co. as the trustee of the general mortgage. As the
result of consultation between counsel a decree was entered
affirming the foreclosure decree which the Farmers’ Loan &
Trust Co. had obtained for the foreclosure of the consoli
dated mortgage, and providing that the Central Trust Co.,
as holding a junior security, might pay off the amount of
the consolidated bonds and coupons and be subrogated to the
rights of the holders of those bonds. Ou the next day, the
12th, the suit which is now pending, brought by the trustees
of the first and second mortgages to foreclose those mort
gages, came on for hearing at Cincinnati before Judge Lurton, A motion was made on behalf of the trustees in that
case for leave to dismiss their bill, which was argued and
taken under consideration by Judge Lurton, and adjourned,
to be beard at Nashville on Tuesday, the 22d.
On Tuesday, the 16th,.the Central Trust Co., as permitted
by the decree for the foreclosure of the consolidated mort
gage, paid the Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co. the entire amount
Cue on the bonds secured by that mortgage. By this action
the Central Trust Co., as trustee under the general mort
gage, becomes subrogated to the rights of the i oudholders
under the consolidated mortgage, and is entitled, if it decides
to do so, to have a sale of the property under the consoli
dated mortgage and to use the consolidated bonds for the
purposes of purchase.

The expenditures for Maintenance of Way are $1,214,711 95 in excess of those of last year. This is an increase of
41-61 per cent. During the year the Receivers have rebuilt
a large number of bridges, putting in modem steel bridges,
capable of carrying the heaviest trains, in place of old iron
bridges, built many years ago when rolling equipment was
light, and which it bad become necessary to support with
wooden trestles. The cost of all these new bridges was
charged to Maintenance of Way.
The Receivers also found it necessary to arch a number
of tunnels, and to place in the track much more than the
normal amount of new steel rails, cross ties and ballast.
As an illustration of such expenditures, it may be men
tioned that the entire Washington Branch was relaid with
steel rails, the ties largely renewed, and a large amount
of stone ballasting put in, the entire earnings of this Branch
having been used to put its roadway in perfect condition.
Another instance is the Philadelphia Division, whereon
more than one-third of the ties have been renewed during
the paat year.
These are examples of the work done on the Company’s
roadway by the Receivers during the past year.
The expenditures for Maintenance of Equipment were
$508,633 03 more than for the fiscal year ended June 39,1898,
and $1,439,128 17 more than for the year ended June 30,1895.
The Receivers have placed in thorough repair all the cars
and engines of the Company which could profitably be put
in condition, end hence the largo increase in expenses for
Maintenance of Equipment,

two tracks, and four separate yards capable of holding 1,768
cars, instead of 603 ears, the number which could be placed
in the old yards. More than four times the interest upon
the cost of the improvement is already saved in the re
duction of sw itching service, and the cars are handled w ith
out delay, thus securing a much better use of the equipment.
A very large mileage of new sidings has been constructed,
facilitating greatly the movement of trains.
A much needed new erecting shop, with electric cranes,
costing $48,904 73, has been built at Mt. Clare.
A new tug and tw elveisew barges have been purchased
at a cost of $78,365 SO. of which amount $66,565 20 appears
in construction account for the year.
For details of these expenditures for Construction, see
Analysis of Table B page 17. pamphlet report.

A Committee of the Board, in connection with the offi
cers of the Receivers, have made a re-valuation of all the
Company’s Equipment, including that covered by Car Trusts,
and the “Profit and Loss” table shows that the valuation of
the Rolling Equipment on the Company’s books has been
reduced $6,304,678 75, and that of the Marine Equipment
$314,162 00.
The value now on the books is regarded as a fair statement
of the worth of the Equipment, and for the Hseal year ending
June 30,1898, the Receivers inform the Board that they have
adopted the policy of requiring that all cars and engnes
covered by Car Trust agreements, when destroyed, shall be
at once rebuilt, and the cost charged to “ Maintenance of
Equipment.”
All other Equipment not covered by Car Trusts, some of
which is old and not standard, when put out of service from
time to time is to be replaced with Equipment of equal value,
to be built or purchased, and the cost thereof charged to
“ Maintenance of Equipment.”

November 19, 1897,
A fairly confident tone has appeared to prevail in mercan
tile circles ; still the volume of business transacted has been
only moderate, as merchants, with f-w ' exceptions, have
shown a decidedly conservative spirit and have been disposed
to hold oil until after Congress convenes, that they may be
able to obtain a definite general idea of the tendency of that
body before opening negotiations on important lines of mer
chandise. The reper s from the Southwest have been of an
expanding trade, the result of the raising of the quarantine
in most sections, following the colder weather experienced.
Advices have been received from Europe stating that ne
gotiations are under way between Germany, Austria and
France with a view to obtaining a general agreement for the
diminution or abolition of the sugar bounties.
Lard on the spot has had only a moderate sale in the local
market, and as offerings have been fairly liberal prices have
weakened slightly to 4'50c. for prime Western, 4 25e. for
prime City and 4-7oc. for refined for the Continent. A t the
West fair sales have been made, but at slightly lower prices.
The local market for futures has been neglected. At the
West there has been moderate selling by packers and prices
have weakened slightly. The close was steady.

During nine months of the period covered by this report
the business of the country continued to suffer from the deression which had existed for a succession of years, and it
as only been in the last quarter of your Company’s fiscal
year that the benefit of improving commercial conditions
has been felt.
Although the unprecedentedly low values for animal fats
continue to militate against the profitable marketing of
Cotton-seed Oil the entire output of this important product
has been sold at fair prices.
This is proof of the widening field for this commodity and
of its growing strength in the markets of the world, and
tends to show that a low market value for Cotton-seed Oil
does not conflict with the best interestsof the cotton grower
or of your Company. On the contrary low prices create
new channels for distribution and an augmented volume of
business, which should compensate "for the smaller margin
of profit.
More than one-third of the total value of the output of
the mills is in Cake and Meal, which products continue to
ain favor for cattle-feeding and fertilizing purposes. The
emand for them is increasing, and during the year the en
tire production has been disposed of at remunerative prices.
Believing that the financial success of your Company de
pends largely upon economy of operation, and recognizing
that “ the United States undoubtedly occupies the front
rank in the application of inventions to the manifold uses
ot commercial industries,” the attention of your Executive
Committee has been steadily directed to the perfecting of
the efficiency and the enlargement of the capacity of the
various manufacturing properties.
A large amount has been expended in repairs of the man
ufacturing plants, in betterment of processes and of
machinery, all of which has been charged to working ex
penses. The wisdom of this expenditure has been shown in
improvement of products and lessened cost of manufacture.
The physical condition of the working plant is now better
than it has ever been.
Constant attention has been given to the extension of the
selling department of the business. New outlets are being
found and developed, and steady progress is being made
toward the possession of a system so comprehensive and a
relation to the market so strong as to minimize the effects
of local depressions in trade.
The policy of retrenchment and economy in every de
partment, which was referred to in the report of last year
as having been vigorously pursued, has been unremittingly
continued, with most satisfactory results. This policy has
had a marked bearing on the increase of net profits for the
year.
The financial strength and high credit of your Company
has been maintained, and at the close of the fiscal year the
Statement shows that there are no Bills Payable and that
there is a large cash balance in the Treasury with which to
begin the operations of the new year.
For the Board of Directors.
GEORGE A. MORRISON,
Chairman.

freely, the tone has been easy at 9c. asked for fair Cucuta,
East India growths have been in limited demand, but for
standard Java prices have held steady at 24c. There has
been a moderately active speculation in the market for con
tracts, but it has been at lower prices, as large crop esti

was easier.

present below oar usual compilation stow ing the yield of
cotton in each State for the crop year ended August 31,1897.
While we do not claim absolute accuracy for this division
among the States, it is believed to he approximately correct,
special effort hashing been made to get as near to the true
result as possible. Of course it would require an actual
census to apportion production accurately between the
States. The subjoined statement covers onr estimates
for the past five seaiona, which embrace,rhe amounts mar
keted through the ports, ii.terior towns and rail overland,
and Southern mill consumption daring each, season.

Daring the course of the discussion of the resolution it de
veloped that two new- forms of a cylindrical bale and one o f
the square bale have been introduced. It is not the purpose
of the club, however, to favor any particular form of bale,
but rather that through improvements in the methods of
baling manufacturers will be assured of the receipt at the
mills of the cotton purchased. The much superior condition
in which foreign cotton reaches the mills has caused much
dissatisfaction among manufacturers at the slovenly method
of baling American cotton.

F riday , November 19. 1897.
MOnly a small volume of business has been transacted in the
market for wheat flour, as the demand from the nome trade
buyers has been light, and the export trade has been quiet.
As a rule prices have been in buyers’ favor, and reductions
have been made exclusive of low-grade winter-wheat flour,
which has been in scant supply and has had a sufficient call
to maintain values. City mills have been quiet and easy.
Eye flour has sold slowly and prices have declined. Backwheat flour has been quiet but steady. Corn meal has had a
moderate sale at steady values.
There has been only a limited amount of activity to the

TRADE.
N ew Yore , F riday, P. M., N ov. 19, 1807.
There has been little change this week in the general course
of the market. The Southern market* have been buying
more freely than for some time past, but other market* con
tinue indifferent. There has been an agreeable change in
the weather daring the past few day* to colder condition*,
and this, it is hoped, will stir up trade withjretailers, where
business in a-asooable merchandise bus been more or less
held in check hitherto by too mild a temperature here and
elsewhere. The toue of the cotton good* division continues
poor, and if sellers are not positively pressing their stock*
upon the market they are at any rate very easily dealt, with,
and prices show much irregularity aii aroind. With job
bers there ha* been continued catting of prices of bleached
cottons The cotton market has been steadier this week, but
has not helped the good* market. In the woolen goods d ivi
sion there is pronounced inactivity still, but the lower tem
perature now prevailing encourage* hopes of a speedy im
prcivstaeut. Fri :. * do not give way. Collections are fairly
good.
W oolen G oods.—The attendance of buyers in this depart
ment ha* been poor all week, and orders by mail have Wen
for small quantities only. The whole-ale clothing trade
has made p o r progress so far with spring garments, and
are nos in tne market a* yet for farrher supplies of piece
goods. There are very few cancellations reported and agent*
are still Weil so li op, price* remaining firm throughout for
both tron-wring* and suitings in light-weight*. There i» no
business of any moment in hew heavy-weight* yet. Satinets,
cotton-warp cassimeres and doeskin jean* are doll and fea
tarsi ess. The overcoating demand u inactive. Kerseys
irregular in price. Cloaking* doll throughout. Flannel* and

Indianapolis Ind.—P ark Bonds Legal.—We have received
from E. M. Johnson, Comptroller, the following letter with
reference to the recent decision of the Supreme Court and its
bearing on the legality of the park bonds mentioned in the
C h r o n i c l e last week. Mr. Johnson’s letter states the matter
so clearly and completely that we cannot do better than
quote it in f u ll:
“ D e p a r t m e n t o f F in a n c e ,
)
‘ O f f ic e o f t h e C it y C o m p t r o l l e r ,
[“ I n d i a n a p o l i s , I n d . , Nov. 12, 1897. )
“ W illiam B. Dana Company, Hew York.
“ G e n t l e m e n : In reply to your favor of the 9th inst. will
say that the Indianapolis park bonds, awarded last April to
Street, Wykes & Co., have not been declared illegal by the
Supreme Court of the State. The question as to the validity
of those bonds has not been presented to that or any other
Court. To give you an intelligent idea of the quesiion that
was recently passed upon by the Supreme Court, I will state
that Indianapolis has a special charter, passed by the Legisla
ture in 1891, by the provisions of which full power is given to
a Board of Public Works to buy or condemn all lands needed
by the city for public purposes, subject to the approval in
certain cases of the Common Council. The authority of that
Board, under the charter, to expend any and all moneys ap
propriated by the Common Council is unquestioned.
“ In 1895 the Legislature undertook to enact a law provid
ing for the establishment of park boards in cities of over
100,000 population, in which it was provided that such board
should consist of five persons, who should, after the first
term, hold iheir offices for a period of five years. This Jaw
defined the powers and duties of such boards, authorizing
them to buy and condemn real estate for park purposes, and
also authorizing the Common Council to issce bonds, and the
proceeds to be subject to the order of the Park Board for the
purposes of buying and improving lands for parks, &c. In
other words conferring upon the Park Board the powers as
to parks theretofore given by law to the Board of Public
Works. Under this law a Park Board was appointed by the
Mayor, and the bonds in question were issued for ‘park
purposes.’
' The Supreme Court in the recent case decided that the
statute was invalid, because the Constitution of the State
provides that no office shall be created by the Legislature the
tenure of which is more than four years, and that various
parts of the statute were so connected together that the whole
law must fall. Now, the Council having had full authority
to authorize the making of the loan and the issue of bonds for
the purpose named therein, and the Board of Public Works
having all the time had full power to receive and expend the
money raised by such issue of bonds, there is no disposition on
the part of any one so far as I am advised to question the
validity of the bonds. The case stands as though no statute
creating a Park Board had been enacted. The bonds were
issued, declaring on their face that they were issued for park
purposes. It is true that the instrumentality named in the
ordinance and bonds to carry out the objects of the loan turns
out to have had no legal existence, yet by the charter, which
was all the time in force, there is provided an instrumentality,
namely, the Board of Public Works, which has undoubted
power to receive all such moneys and to carry out the pur
poses expressed in the ordinance and bonds, and whose dury
it is to expend all moneys necessary to be expended for the
purchase of all real estate needed by the city for all public
purposes.
“ In other words, it is thought that the Board of Public
Works, clothed with such ample authority, may proceed to
assume control of the m m ey and proceed with the work of
ark improvements, as would have been its duty if the invalid
igislation had not been enacted.
“ The City of Indianapolis will repudiate no obligations, nor
seek to evade*the full measure of any liability. 1 beg to en
close you a copy of the decision referred to.
“Very respectifully,
“ E. M. J ohnson,
“ City Comptroller.”
[VOL. LXV.
Americus, (la.—Bund Issue Legal.—Judge Littlejohn has
denied the petition enjoining the issuance of the $35,000 water
and sewer bonds recently voted.
Bay City, M ich.- Certified Check Returned —On Novem
ber 8, 1897, the City Council, on the recommendation of the
Claims and Accounts Committee, voted to re urn to C. H.
W hite & Co. the deposit of $500 made by them with their bid
for the $35,003 i.% City Hall bonds. These securities were
awarded to the above firm, but refused by them on the ground
that the bonds could not be issued as authorized. The action
of the committee was in accorance with the decision of the
City Attorney, that the city could not enforce the forfeit, as
no contract of forfeiture had been signed.
Brown’s T alley (Cal.) Irrigation D istrict.—Bond L itiga
tion.—The “ Enterprise” of Riverside, Cal., on November 6,
1897, contained the following dispatch from Marysville, rela
tive i o the suit in equity against tlie Brown’s Valley Irrigation
District: “ Edward Lynch has filed in the Superior Court of
this county a complaint in equity, naming the Board of
Directors of the Brown’s Valley Irrigation District as defend
ants. The plaintiff attacks the validity of the irrigation dis
trict, which, by virtue of the Wright Act, claims to be act
ing in a quasi-public corporation capacity’, and prays that it
be declared that the bonds of the district are null and void,,
and that the proceedings leading up to the alleged organiza
tion of the district be also declared null and void, that the
assessment levied by the Board of Directors of the so-called
irrigation district in the year 1897 be declared void, and that
the plaintiff has such further relief as the Court may deem
proper. Brown's Valley District includes some 45,i 00 acres o f
fertile land on the foot-hills of the Sierra, and nearly $21)0,000
has been spent in developing the irrigation system.”
Chicago, 111.— Track Elevation Damage S u its.—The ordi
nances passed by the City Council some time ago, ordering
the elevation of the tracks and subsequent street depressions,
have resulted in notices of damage suits being filed with thelaw department to the amount of $15,0< 0,000. The Corpora
tion Counsel defines the city’s attitude in the matter. In an
opinion addressed to the Finance Committee of the City
Council, which has now pending before it several of the
cases in question, Mr. Thornton, the counsel, denies that
the city is at all liable for damages. He says that the ordi
nances “ were not passed for a corporate purpose, but in the
exercise of a governmental function, namely : The police
power delegated to the city under the terms of its charter.”
“ The exercise of the police power is never (in law) attended
with danger of punishment to the State or municipality
which txercists it, especially when there is no physical in
vasion of private property.”
P ark Tax Illegal. —On November 16, 1897, Judge Dunne
handed down an opinion declaring against the levying of an
additional tax of 2 mills by the South Park Commissioners in
the towns of South Chicago. L tke and Hyde Park. The
County ( lerk has been enjoined from extending the levy.
The Ccurt holds that the Act of 1873, under which it was
sought to make the levy, cannot be made t <apply to the
South Paik Commissioners, for the reason that the towns of
Lake and Hyde Park were not then within the limits of the
city. If is stated that an appeal will be taken to the Su
preme Court.
Galveston, Texas.— Personal Judgm ent fo r Assessments.—
The Galveston “ N ew s” on November 11, 1897, contained a
report of an opinion handed down by Justice Williams in the
suit of Lovenberg to recover $473 98. This amount Mr.
Lovenberg claims he involuntarily, and under coercion, paid
the city on an assessment against his homestead, as the propor
tion of the cost of paving Avenue I, chargeable against such
property. The “ News” stated that:
“ According to an opinion handed down by Justice W ill
iams in the Civil Court of Appeals, the city of Galveston has
the right to recover personal judgment against propertyowners for their proportionate share of street improvements.
Following the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of
Higgins vs. Bordages, wherein it was held that a lien for
such improvements could not be enforced against homesteads,
it was thought that the city would lose all the assessments it
had levied on account of paving abutting homestead proper
ties. A number of suits followed for the recovery of assess
ments wh'ch had been paid by homesteaders, and about the
same time City Attorney Smith beganinstituting suits against
homesteaders who had not paid up, asking for personal judg
ments against them. Since then the Supreme Court has,
in the Storrie vs. Cortes case, decided that the Legislature
has the power to make assessments for^snch improvements,
while not a lien upon the homesteads, personal charges against
the owners of the property, and that personal judgments
conld be obtained where the city charter provided for them.
The remaining question, so far as Galveston is concerned,
therefore, was whether the charter of this city would be con
strued so as to warrant personal judgments against the
homesteaders. The Court of Appeals, in the case of I.
Lovenberg vs. The City has decided that the charter provides
for such judgments.”
Georgia.— Convention Bonds A gain R ep u d ia ted — It is
stated that for more than 20 years the old Scott and Hayes
convention bonds have been occupying the attention of
every Legislature, and that these bonds were again repudi
ated on November 10, 1897. The original bonds were issued
to defray the expenses of a convention held immediately
after the war. Since Governor Smith refused to pay the

bonds, claiming that they had already been paid, each Legis1at are has been asked and has refused to authorize their
avment. The bonds amount to 88,000 at I f . The holders
Pave offered to accept 47. at which rate the unpaid interest,
it is said, will amount to #8,420.
Hinckley. M inn.—A e w s .—Justice Mitchell has affirmed
the decision of the lower court requiring the Kettle River
Railroad to return to the town of Hinckley bonds to the
amount of #12,00), or the equivalent in money, and #2,400 in
terest on the same from May 1,1*90, In 1888 the town of
Hinckley issued $12,000 in bonds to aid in building fonrmilea
of the road through that town and into the country from the
niaiu line of the St. Paul & Duluth. The bonds were turned
over to the company about .fan. 1, 1888. The road was oper
ated until March 1, 1390. The tracks were torn up and all
the rolling stock removed in 1891. and in 1894 the town be
gan this action to recover the bonds or their value.
Huron, Mich.—L i t i g a t i o n .— Parson, Leach & Co., Chicago,
have brought suit against the city of Huron to recover on
#40.003 warrants sold them in 1890. The city was compelled
to borrow, having rnn into debt in its endeavors to have
the State Capitol located at Huron. The city claims that the
issue was illegal, the town having exceeded its constitutional
lim it of indebtedness. The Chicago firm, on the other hand,
claim that the money was secured under false pretenses.
K ittitas Irrigation District, Wash.—Irrigation Bonds
L e g a l — A dispatch t o the Tacoma A n te s from EUensburg,
Wash., dated Nov. jn, 18 9 7 , said : “ A very important case
affecting irrigation districts was decided here yesterday in
the Superior Court. The Middle Kittitas Irrigation District,
of this county, has voted an issue of bonds, some of which
bad been sold. The law provides that if the directors of the
district fail to levy a tax to pay interest the Board of County
Commissioners shall levy it. This suit was in the form of a
mandamus to compel the Commissioners to levy such a t uc,
the directors of the district having failed to so act. This
action was brought by one Winthrop, who holds #80,000 of
the bonds. The Supreme Court having decided that the
bonds were legal, the only question for this Court to pass on
was whether the bonds were legally issued. The Court held
that they were, and the County Commissioners are ordered to
levy a tax on the lands within the district to pay interest on
the bonds sold.”
Omaha, Neb ,—B o n d L i t i g a t i o n . — J , J. Shea ha* amended
his petition to Judge Oreeri asking for an injunction restrain
in g the city officials from issuing any more warrants or pay
ing any of the indebtedness issued since January 1. 1895, as
stated in the © bboxicle November 13, 1897. Mr. Shea's
amendment relates to the financial transactions of the city
as far back as 1884 and contains a statement of the debt
issued since the beginning of that year. He asks the Court
to separate the bonds into two clas-es. one containing those
which the Court mar declare legal and the other those
illegal, and to enjoin the city from paving the bonds con
tained in the latter class.
St. Clair County, H o .— T a x L e v y l<> be E n fo rc e d .— The St.
Clair County Court ha* been ordered to appear before United
States Judge Philips on December 9 and be punished for con
tempt. The County Judges refused to levy a tax for the pay
ment of bond* issued in aid of the Clinton Branch of the
Tebo A Neosho Railroad, according to the ruling of the
United States Court. The case dates back to the period fol
lowing the war, and a history of it was given iu the St.
Louis •‘Globe-Democrat” November 12.1887, as follows :
"T w o hundred and fifty bonds of the denomination of
#!,f> 0 each were issued by 1 be county to aid in the building
of the Clinton Branch of the Tebo & Neosho Railroad. One
hundred and sixty of these fond* were sold and the money
invested in purchasing the right of way, paying for labor, etc.,
and ninety bond* represent profits o f promoters. The road
was fairly graded between Clinton and the north bank of the
river opposite Osceola, and some iron and ties placed along
the right of way, when the money gave out, All effort* to
float the bonds of the company proved unavailing, and the
work ceased. Then the people began an investigation. They
found that of the #*00,000 donated by Henry and St. Clair
counties, only about #275,000 hail been honestly spent. They
found that no vote to issue the bonds had ever been token aa
the law required. They employed the best legal talent then
available, among whom were Senator Vest and Judge John F.
Philips. The Supreme Court of the State decided the case
for the county, but upon appeal the United State* Court re
versed the decision, and held that the holders of the bonds
being innocent purchasers were entitled to recover. Concern
ing the charge that no vote had been taken, the Conrt held
that inasmuch as the people had paid the interest for several
year* without a protest the bonds were thus legalized "
*
*
*
*
*
*
“ The debt now amounts to over #1,098,Of0. The assessed
valuation of the county is #1.000,900. The bondholder* de
mand 75 per cent in new bonds, running twenty years and
bearing 5 per cent interest. Judge Philips some time since
offered the people to force the bondholders to accept 65 cents
if the county would vote that sum. The county met this
offer by offering dollar for dollar the face of the bonds w ith
out interest. No agreement was reached.”
Seattle, Wash ,— S in k in g Fundi.—An ordinance w ill b* in
troduced into the City Council to create a sinking fund for
the redemption of outstanding city warrants. The ordi
993
nance provides for the setting aside of the delinquent tax
collections for 1892, 1893 and 1894 into this fund.
South Bend, Wash.—N e w s. —On November 11, 1897, the
Court dismissed two suits to compel the city to pay out
standing special street-grade warrants. Both decisions were
based on technicalities, and it is now too late to renew the
suits, as six years (the term under the statute of limitations)
have elapsed'. The street warrants amounted to #33,COOand
it is thought possible they may be paid off at some future
date in the same manner'as the #24.000 general fund warrants
which, though illegal, are gradually being paid. The legal
indebtedness of the city is now reduced to #80,000 bonds.
Spring Valley, III.— R e c e iv e r Applied For.—A n application
has been made by Jno, Hues, a taxpayer, asking that a
receiver he appointed for the city. Mr. H ubs claims that the
city is insolvent and that its indebtedness is constantly in
creasing. The case w ill be heard by Judge H. M. Trimble,
of the Bureau County Circuit Court.
Bond Proposals and Negotiations this
week have been as follows:
