We present below our usual detailed figures for the pre vious week, covering the returns for the period ending with Saturday noon, November 14, and the results for the correspond ing week in 1893, 1894 and 1893 are also given. Contrasted with the preceding week there is an increase in the aggregate exchanges of a little over one hundred and fifty million dol lars, but at New York alone the gain is one hundred and seven teen millions, tn comparison with the week of 1895 the total for the whole country shows an excess of 3-2 per cent. Com pared with the week of 1894 the current returns record a gain of lrt-3 per cent and the excess over 1893 is 22-2 per cent. Outside of New York the decline from 1895 is 7’7 per cent. The increase over 1894 reaches 3'3 per cent, and making com parison with 1893 the gain is seen to be 8’ 1 per cent. New Orleans.......... Louisville............... G a lveston ....,.......

Reassuring features of the week have been (1) the foreign trade statement for October, upon which we have remarked in a subsequent colum 1 ; (2) the pros pect of a continuance of favorable trade results in near-by months, ensuring the non-fulfillment of the London forecast that the ante-election gold imports would be returned to Europe immediately after the election and making a further movement of gold t ) this center not improbable; (3) the Treasury net gold reserve, which has shown steady gains, reaching, ac cording to the Government report made public yester day, $126,611,711; (4) the large stock of gold coin and bullion held in the country, being to-day probably not less than $679,000,000, a total larger than has been held at any time since May 1892, four and a-half years ago; (5) the trade revival which, to the extent of opening mills etc. theretofore closed, and increasing work in other establishments already operating in part, has now extended to every section of the country, in cluding up to this date (according to the record kept by the “ Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bul letin”), 383 resumptions and 291 establishments which have increased their force ; and (6) the higher prices ruling for wheat and the better prices ruling foj; other food products. But while we may say with accuracy that the fore going and all other developments since the election to this date have been favorable and promising, we must add that the expectation which many appear to indulge of an immediate boom which is to keep our furnaces and factories running night and day and all prices constantly rising, is quite certain not to be realized. At any season of the year a healthy industrial reviv d from extreme depression and the wide interruption of work, such as has existed during the summer, must progress slowly step by step; and this is especially true when the recovery begins at the opening of winter. Never could a recuperative movement start under better auspices than now; it is sure to make progress, and as we get towards the spring an accelerating prog ress. The thought of prospective tariff revision has tended in some measure to check demand. It is a foolish notion, however, for revision, if it is carried through, will be up, not d)wn; that is it will tend to advance prices, not lower them, and consequently the larger the stock of goods a merchant carried in passing from a low to a higher tariff the better off he would be. Some disappointment has been felt with regard to the inquiry for goods. But the explanation is really very smple. The idea of an immediate heavy increase in requirements was based to some extent upon a miscon ception. It was based on the supposition that as a result of the extreme depression which ruled from July to November, interior stocks of goods had become exhausted. But as a matter of fact, while it is true that the interior merchant stopped buying, it is equally true that the interior consumer also stopped buying, thus leaving stocks pretty much as they were Of course with the revival in business which is now in progress, these stocks will be quickly disposed of, and thereafter the demand should be steady and regular, widening and developing with the expansion in trade. The Seaboard Air Line “ deal” appears to have fallen through—at least for the present—the parties with whom Mr. Ryan was negotiating for a controlling in terest in the property having found it impossible to turn over the stock of the road as promised. The only [V ol . L5I11. interest tne public has had in the matter nas been as tothe effect of the expected change of ownership upon the rate situation in the South. The Seaboard Line during the summer pursued a sort of guerilla warfare, which, while directed only against the Southern Railway, threatened to involve all the roads in the South. The courts interfered a number of times and checked a wholesale slaughter of rates and revenues, but this was considered a poor reliance at the best and objectionable in many ways. Hence when the announcement came that a new interest wa3 to acquire control the event was hailed with considerable satis faction as furnishing a feasible way out of the difficulty and as marking a step tending to conserve important interests. But the plan met with con siderable opposition. President Hoffman’s friends opposed it, and the Southern public also looked upon it with disfavor because of reports that the Southern Railway was the party back of Mr. Ryan. These rumors met with explicit and emphatic denials, but they kept cropping up again and again. In one sense therefore it may be best that the scheme has failed. Of course all depends upon what attitude the man agement may now assume. Mr. Ryan, through the purchases of stock which he has made from parties outside the pool, has acquired a very sub stantial interest in the property, and this should give him some say in the management. Very likely, too, wiser counsel may prevail with the managers, and the old tactics of cutting rates be abandoned. Recent statements of earnings show that the property is doing quite well, a gain being reported for the September quarter of $152,450 in gross and of $113,438 in net. The effects of the revival of confidence and the starting up of trade are already beginning to be re flected in the returns of bank clearings. The number of cities showing gains is steadily increasing. Last week out of the seven leading cities included in our telegraphic returns (namely Boston, Philadelphia, Bal timore, Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans, besides New York), three reported gains, namely New York, Boston and Baltimore; this week there are four with gains, only Chicago, Philadelphia and New Orleans recording decreases. In the case of railroad earning3 the manifes tation of the revival in trade will come more slowly. This should be borne in mind in considering current returns of earnings. For the present these returns are very poor, but they represent past conditions. We re ferred last week to the large falling off indicated for the first week of November by our preliminary sum mary for that week. The final statement makes even a worse showing, the loss reaching $1,333,633, or 16-74 per cent on the 77 roads included in the tabulations. The result was particularly bad because of the occurrence of election day in that week. The returns of net earn ings for October, which are now beginning to come in, are also subject to the remark that they represent past conditions. Thus the Pittsburg Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis reports $339,585 decrease in gross and $189,468 decrease in net, and the Pittsburg Youngstown & Ashtabula, $77,214 decrease in gross and $64,249 de crease in net. The following is a four-year comparison of gross and net for a number of roads which have this week submitted statements for either September or October. ,-------------- September E a r n i n j s --------1896. 1895. 1894. 2,132,506 725,397 180.379 44.514 2.085,416 753,886 155.612 42,955 Nam e of Road— Baltimore & Ohio.................

Some writers have had difficulty in accounting for higher rates for foreign exchange following the elec tion. That movement has been wholly natural. Gold imports considerably in excess of tn d e requirements had been stimulated by a substantial premium to satisfy the hoarding disposition, and to such an extent that London fully expected a return of the metal as soon as the 3d of November had pissel. A return would have set in had not our foreign trade continued so decidedly in our favor. As it was, instead of a reversal of the gold movement, merely a stronger exchange market was the outcome. Now at length even the advancing inclination appears to have about spent itself, rates having again given evi dence of a declining tendency, though as the week closes a firmer tone has been noticeable, due to a tempor ary special demand for investment. The truth is, the market’s surroundings include a condition of our trade with the outside world so favor able that the large imports of gold referred to must, we may assume, by this time have been substan tially covered; moreover the current exports of merchandise will soon, it would seem, produce another trade balance which will have to be settled for with a further movement of that metal or of capital. What the extent i3 of the merchandise exports now in progress may be gathered from the out flow in October and previous months of 1896 just made public by the Bureau of Statistics. It appears that the total in October reached $113,385,497, which, accord ing to our record going back to 1873, is the largest (with the single exception of December 1891, when it was $119,935,897) reported for any previous month within the period mentioned. Again the imports of mer chandise were also during October phenomenally small, V ol LX III. beiDg $50,373,675, so that the merchandise balance in favor of the United States for that single month was $63,011,822, which the record we keep shows is the largest merchandise balance in favor of the United States in any month since 1873, making the favorable balance for the first four months of the current fiscal year (July 1 to October 31) $132,028,000, also ths largest in our tables for the same four months. Finally, if we carry the compilation back to January 1 1896 the merchandise balance will be found to be the largest for the ten months ending with October 31 1896 (when it was $206,985,482) that it has been for the same ten months of any calendar year since 1878, and with that exception probably larger than it has ever been. I t is in point also to add that this feature of our trade is not only continuing in November, but is, we are led to believe, progressing in even greater volume, if the New York City movement for the two weeks ending with the 14th instant is a correct indication.* Situated as this country is with reference to its cur rency and its incipient business revival, these facts are highly important and gratifying. We must remember though that they, of course, do not represent a permai ent or a wholly normal or a strictly healthy condition. The net balance, so far as the small imports enter into the calculation, is evidence of the intense strain and struggle we have passed through, and is a curative state which that strain has produced; the exports also no doubt have been in some measure added to by reason of the curtailed home consumption of our products and the consequent depression in prices. Chiefly however the increase in the exports is known to be a result of our large crops and of the special foreign de mand for our food products. Altogether, regardless rf how the favorable balance has been secured, that balance is, as we have already said, highly important and gratifying. It is so because for the time being it imparts peculiar strength to our financial situation and gives us the opportunity to rectify the evils from which we have been suffering for three years so acutely, and to some extent ever since we resume 1 gold payments. What we need now more than all things else is a period free from these harassing influences and of long enough duration to model a sound currency system for the country. Just that our trade conditions are to day offering us. Shall we improve the opportunity ? This question, according to our view, concerns tbe matter of most serious import of all the issues which are at present be fore the people, or have been before tie people for many a year. Not only does the trade condition make *’ A s o u r r e a d e r s m a y d e s ir e t o se e th e t r a d e fig u re s of n e t m e r c h a n d is e b a la n c e f o r 1 0 m o n th s a n d fo r 4 m o n th s e a c h y e a r s in c e 1 8 7 3 , w e g iv e th e fo llo w in g , w h ic h is m a d e u p fr o m th e r e c o r d w e k e e p o f th e G o v e rn m e n t’s m o n th ly fig u re s.

The thought we have in mind has been embodied in a toast at the Chamber of Commerce dinner Tuesday night, to which Mr. Boa>ke Cockran so eloquently responded. That toast read that “ The forces of patriotism must not disband while a patriotic duty remains to bs performed.” Mr. Cockran gave the suggestion his earnest approval, and in some measure sought to show how the different elements which combined for Major McKinley’s election “ could be welded into one co-operative harmonious force for the success of his Administration.” He asked, “ How are the fruits of this great victory to be harvested, if I may use the words which have been uttered by the dis tinguished Postmaster General ? Can we afford to disband the forces of order while the forces of disorder are still in the field, being marshalled by their defeated leader for a new assault upon credit and upon indus try ? Can we afford the luxury of political divisions as to the administration of the Government when the existence of the Government is imperilled ? Can we afford to quarrel about systems of laws while the moral law itself remains a feature in American politics ? I believe it is the duty of all the men who contributed to win this victory to contribute now to the harvesting of its fruits.” Can any one object to such a sentiment as that ? But Mr. Cockran went farther, and we trust he will carry with him the large body of independent voters that helped to win the victory on the 3d of November. He expressed the opinion that the proper course for every one to pursue was to strengthen the hands of the President-elect in any financial policy he may adopt. "Unless we put full power into his hands, we cannot impose full responsibility upon his shoulders.” Coming to specific acts, he said we are “ confronted with the necessity of raising revenue at the very threshold of this Administration. Shall we show to the world the spectacle of a government compelled to borrow money for its daily expanses while it rules and administers the business of the richest and most powerful people in the world ? • • * That question mast be met, and for mv part I am ready to concede the right of the majority to fix the means by which it shall be met. I would deplore as the greatest disaster that could over take this country the spectacle of the President of the United States elected on a platform of sound money forced to bargain with the silver Senators for the pass ing of the legislation necessary to support the Govern ment of the United States. * * * Let him be given the needed powers without any conditions whatever except the responsibility which he owes to the people, who will judge his Administration at its close by the fruits which it shall have borne.” Mr. Cockran also throws out another suggestion, although he does it with hesitation and with appar ent misgivings; and yet while he fears it i3 likely to b3 rejected, he expresses the hope that it will serve to "scatter seed which will flower in substantial fruit.” His idea is that evea the tariff issue sbouli be compro mised to pave the way for a union on the financial legislation which is needed. With the tariff issue settled in a spirit “ of compromise and amity, the one issue which tnreatens to split the successful triumph ant force into factions would pas3 from the region of practical politics, and together, as a united, irresistible body, we could address ourselves to the problems of the currency and to those problems of social discontent to 901 which my friend the Postmaster General has so elo quently alluded.” Coming back then to the thought with which we started, may we not say that the people have to-day at their command a marvellously favorable opportunity for settling the currency question in this country for all time. Our foreign trade invites action. We passed through in this respect like surroundings in 1878 and 1879, when a similar work was pressing, and they proved jast the conditions needed at that critical juncture. Moreover, the gold reserve favors action, for it is larger now than it has been since May 1892. According to the Government fig ures of November 1 1896 the gold coin in the country was 8624,017,484 and the gold bullion $47,617,328, making a total stock at that date of $671,664,812. Since November 1 the imports of that metal have been about $5,000,000. Hence, including the net production, the total stock at the present time can not be far from $679,000,000. It was reported to be $680,438,794 on the 31st day of May 1892, nearly 4-£ vears ago, and has been less than it is now according to the Treasury record every month since that date, and a large portion of the time very much less. It is reas suring to know also that if more gold was found neces sary our trade conditions would enable us to secure whatever might be needed. Finally, the existing relation of parties, as Mr. Cockran said, incites action. For the time being they stand in unique position ; probably not more than twice before have they been so nearly at oae on the controlling issue of the hour. What a chance this situ ation presents for those who have recently voted together to make their action so effective in perfecting financial legislation as to mark a new epsch, may we not say a new birth, in the life of the nation. It is a highly critical period. Shall we finish the wirk so well begun or leave it to plague us again ? SiaU his tory say of us that we were almost equal to the occa sion—but not quite ? THE BALTIMORE & OHIO REPORT. The Baltimore & Ohio management are to be com mended for issuing a complete annual report, the same as usual. It generally happens that where a property is placed in receivers’ hands, as has been the case with the Baltimore & Ohio, the reports are for a longer or shorter period discontinued. The result is that at the very time when security holders are mo3t in need of Liie information contained in the reports, they are left helpless, without anv facts to guide them in their judgment or action. To say that this is unfortunate and to be regretted, is to speak mildly. Hence the fact that in the Baltimore & Ohio case Mr. John K. Cowen (who is both President of the road and one of its re ceivers) has pursued a different course deserves more than a passing notice. We are glad to see too that the accounts and opera tions cover the full twelvemonths. Very frequently the results are divided up, the company reporting for the period while it was in control and the receivers for the rest of the term, destroying much of the value of the statements and sometimes rendering difficult com parisons with previous yea's In this instance Mr. Cowen alludes to the fact that the company, having been unable to meet its liabilities, on March 1 passed into the hands of receivers, but adds that it has been deemed proper to continue the regular annual 902 THE CHRONICLE. statements, and therefore the report covers the operations of the entire fiscal year both prior and subsequent to the receivership—which is as it should be. We may note, furthermore, that the stockholders at their annual meeting this week also authorized the publication of the report of Mr. Stephen Little, who, as will be remembered, made an examina tion of the books and accounts of the company imme diately after the appointment of the receivers. The report is now being printed, and it is expected will be ready for distribution within a week or two. Saeurity holders and the public will thus ba placed in possession of all the facts in the case. Until Mr. Little’s rep ort appears it will of course be impossible to form any definite opinion regarding it; but those who ought to know say that there will be some favorable features in it. As we hear, it will show on the one hand that dividends on the company’s stock ought not to have been paid, but on the other hand will also show that the fixed charges were earned in all the years, according to very strict methods of account ing. This latter, besides being a welcome, is likewise an encouraging, fact. A further gratifying feature has been developing ever since the receivers have been in control, namely the facility with which it has been found possible to extend and enlarge the road’s business. Indeed, the way the gross revenue of the system has been added to in recent months, in face of adverse business conditions, has been a very agreeable surprise. It suggests that while the late management gave perhaps adequate and possibly undue attention to other things, it did not avail in full of the opportunities for developing the road’s traffic. This discovery of course makes the outlook brighter than had been thought possible, and opens up new possibili ties for the future. In view of that fact it does not seem likely that a plan for the reorganization of the property is within the probabilities of the early future. It appears to be everybody’s desire to see what the property can do under the new conditions and management, over a fair period of time, before consid ering plans for its financial rehabilitation. Indeed, this work cannot be intelligently undertaken until the capacity of the system for creating and acquiring busi ness has been fully tested. We should not be surprised if a whole year were allowed to elapse before an effort were made to formulate a reorganization plan. The company’s report is for the fiscal year ending June 30 last. It shows a surplus of $127,505 above all charges (amounting to nearly 7^ million dollars) for the twelve months, though of course not including dividends on the preferred stocks or payments made to retire bonded and other indebtedness. That this is, all things considered, a very s itisfactory showing will ap pear as we proceed. Of course no one needs to be told that the latter half of the year, that is the six months from January to June, covered a period of great industrial depression throughout the United States, in which therefore the conditions were decid edly unfavorable for an ordinarily full volume of traf fic. But in addition a good many special circum stances operated to reduce net results on the Balti more & Ohio. Some of these were only transient, others permanent in their influence, but all have an important bearing both as regards the future and as explaining the changes from the previous year. As against the $127,505 surplus above charges for 1895-96 the surplus for 1894-95 had been $1,709,681. This is a falling off of $1,582,176. How is the differ [v o l . l x h i. ence accounted for? The answer to that question will bring out all the peculiarities in the accounts and re sults for both years. We find in the first place th a t there has been an augmentation of $443,211 in the fixed charges. Before explaining this augmentation it will be well to point out that the statement of the fixed charges is a complete account of everything the company was obligated to pay as a fixed charge during the twelve months, whether it was paid or not. The increase of $443,211 over the year preceding is referable mainly to the fact thatinterest on the Baltimore Bait line mortgage, amount ing to $300,000, appears in the accounts for the first time and to the further fact that there was an increase of $165,563 in interest on floating debt, discounts,. &o. Interest on receivers’ certificates is given as a separate item in the fixed charges, and counted for only $20,000 in the year’s total—said interest having accrued for only one month. Besides the heavier requirements for charges it is found that the “ income from other sources’- fell off as much as $558,671. Two items explain the bulk of the decrease. It appears that $320,000 of the previous year s income under that head was merely a bookkeeping item, representing the increase of the book value of certain properties taken in at a profit. Then there was another exceptional item in that year’s income, this amounting to $149,000 and representing the profit derived on the sale of bonds for the payment of the Baring loan due March 1 1895. We come now to the most important difference of all, namely the diminution of $654,777 in the net earnings from the operation of the road. The signifi cance of the decrease here lies in the fact that ic has occurred notwithstanding an increase of $1,127,599 in gross earnings. In other words, operating expenses increased in the large sum of $1,782,376 (11 per cent).. It is this augmentation, therefore, of I f million dollars in operating expenses that furnishes the key to the year’s results, Examination of the accounts shows that $920,488 of the increase isdue to increased cost of maintenance of equipment. At the time the receivers took control of the property there were about 5,000 freight cars on side tracks awaiting repairs and more than 35 per cent of the freight engines, we are informed, were unable to move a wheel, and a large proportion of the passenger engines were in the same condition. When the re ceivers made application to Court for permission toissue receivers’ certificates they estimated that $1,460,749 would be required to place the equipment in thoroughly good condition, including $409,851 to equip cars with air-brakes and automatic couplers to comply with the acts of Congress. At the same time it was estimated that $990,000 would be required for new steel rails, renewals of bridges and for tunnels and masonry. The larger part of the extra equipment outlays should have been made in previous years and charged to the accounts of those years. It is not possible of course to tell exactly how much of the increased cost was due to the condition in which the equipment was found by the receivers and in which it had been left from preceding years, but we are informed that Mr. Cowen estimates that the sum exceeds $500,000. We also hear that the 1896 expenses include $150,000 of suspended expenses due to the year 1895, the two to gether amounting to $650,000. It is proper to state that during the year the company also charged to profit and loss account $461,409 for equipment put out of: THE CHRONICLE. November 21, 1896.] 903 service.

INTER-STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION AND RATES TO SOUTHERN POINTS. The Inter-State Commerce Commission has sustained another reverse in the courts. The year has been un usually prolific in important decisions defining and limiting the powers and functions of the Commission. d 904 THE CHROJN1CLE. The Commission has often complained in its annual reports, and with reason, of the great delay experi enced in securing decisions in the courts, as a conse quence of which cases involving questions of the high est moment regarding the construction of the InterState law remained tied up, leaving the outcome in dou But latterly quite a number of lead ing issues have been disposed of either in the lower or [the final courts, and when the Commis sioners write their next annual report the coming month they will have a clearer idea of their position, even if the decisions have been mostly not to their liking. Last March the United States Supreme Court de aided that witnesses cannot shelter themselves behind the plea that their testimony might incriminate them, and previously the Court had ruled that the powers of the courts can be used to enforce the process of the Commission. The rulings in these casqs of course tended to strengthen the hands of the Commission. In April the Court rendered its opinion in the case of the Cincinnati New Orleans & Texas Pacific vs. the Inter-State Commission—commonly known as the Social Circle Case—involving the construction of the long-andshort haul-clause of the Inter-State act, and also gave an opinion in the case of the Inter-State Commerce Commission vs. the Texas & Pacific Railway Company, concerning the right of the railroads to accept a lower rate upon import traffic shipped on a through bill of lading from a foreign country than upon domestic traffic carried over the same road to the same point of destination. In the Social Circle case the Court upheld the Com mission in its contention regarding the long-and-short haul clause but overruled it in its attempt to prescribe rates—the latter a point of far-reaching effect and which has since controlled the actions of the courts in a great many other decisions. In the import cases the ruling of the Commission was entirely reversed. In May Judge Acheson in the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, fol lowing the rule laid down by the Supreme Court in the Social Circle case, dismissed the petition of the Com mission in the complaint of Coxe Bros. & Co. against the Lehigh Valley, where the Commission had sought to fix rates on anthracite coal. Now the Commission’s petition regarding rates to Southern points from Chi cago and Cincinnati has also been dismissed in the Circuit Court for Ohio. "While the point at issue in this last case was not greatly unlike that raised in other cases, the action itself was one of considerable consequence, and more than ordinary interest was felt in tbe outcome. It was a case, too, where, considering the naked question of differences in rates between important sections of the country, the merits of the controversy were not very easy to determine. In other words, there was a good deal to be said on both sides of the question. We discussed the matter at length when the Commission rendered its decision, and an editorial article on the subject was given in the C h r o i t c c l e of July 7 1891. While we did not approve of the order of the Commis sion, it seemed to U3 that the Board had in this instance treated the issue raised in a broader way than was their wont, and that their presentation and analysis of the facts bearing on the case showed an appreciation, even if only partial, of the complex nature of the problem and of the difficulties attending attempts at its solution. [V ol . LX1II. There were really two cases. One wa3 the complaint by the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, the other was the complaint by the Chicago Freight Bureau. Both involved the question of rates to Southern points from Cincinnati and points north. It appeared that on through shipments from Chicago via the Ohio River crossings, it was not the practice to pro-rate but to charge the sum of the rate north of the Ohio River plus that south of the Ohio. As a consequence tariffs from central territory to Southern points on articles of merchandise and manufactures were higher than the tariffs from the Eastern seaboard to the same points in the South, discriminating unjustly, it was claimed, in favor of manufacturers herein the East and 8gainst those in central territory. The preference existed only as regards the numbered classes of freight, which cover articles of merchandise, &c. In the case of the lettered classes, covering products of the soil, the differences were in favor of the central territory and against the East. It was claimed that this arrangement of the rates was the result of an agreement made years ago by which Eastern lines and Eastern territory were to have the traffic in merchandise and manufactured articles, and Western roads and Western territory were to have the traffic in food products and the like. The evidence tended to show that back in 1878, some such agree ment as this, ensuring to each section an advantage in its own classes of goods, did control rates, and that the basis of making rate schedules had not undergone any substantial change since then. However, the roads did not seek to justify the discrimination in favor o:‘ seaboard territory on any such ground. They con tended, rather, that water competition along the sea board was the controlling factor in the fixing of the rates and accounted for the lower charges here in the East. The Commission found that this contention of the roads as to the influence of water competition was sustained by proof. Their conclusion was, however, that the existing disparity ia rates was too great. This view it is proper to say coincided with that held by some other observers. Circumstances regarding trade in manufactured articles have greatly changed within recent years. There are now large manufactur ing interests in central territory, where in 1878 there were hardly any, and hence there has been a feeling that sooner or later an adjustment of rates between Eastern and Western manufacturing districts would have to be made. Railroad men themselves are by no meansagreed that, the old basis of rates, when applied to the present conditions, is equitable and correct. Of course it has not been claimed that Western Territory is en titled to the advantages belonging to Eastern Territory by reason of ocean competition, simply that apart from any such consideration manufacturers in the West should be given more favorable terms. But though all this was true, the action of the Com mission was nevertheless open to criticism. The new schedule of charges which it sought to enforce was wholly arbitrary. Then it was by no means clear that this new schedule would furnish a remedy for the situation complained of. The order of the Commis sion wa3 also objectionable because it was the assump tion by the Commission of a prerogative which within proper limits ought to belong to the railroads, the Com mission having no fitness for the task. Finally, there was nothing in the Inter-State Act to sustain the view that the Commission had been clothed with rate-maki jg powers and functions. It is on this latter ground November 21, 1896.J THE CHRONICLE. 905 that the petition of the Commission to have its order so as to give undue preference or disadvantage to per enforced has now been dismissed. sons or traffic similarly circumstanced, the Act to Reg The present decision is by Judge George R.

On the other hand, the gains come chiefly from Southern and Southwestern and from Mexican roads. Among the losses, the Pennsylvania heads the list with a decrease (lines directly operated east and west) of $1,286,000 in gross and a decrease of $747,800 in net. The Atchison with $347,508 increase in gross and $459,087 increase in net leads among the gains. The Reading, though having fallen $303,557 behind in the gross, has a gain of $276,190 in the net, the results for the Coal & Iron Company being in cluded in both cases.

When arranged in groups, five groups record losses in the gross, only three in the net. The latter com prise the trunk-lines, the Middle Western roads and the Northwestern. The ratios of gain in net are heavy in the anthracite coal group, where the increase is 21AL per cent, and in the Southwestern group, where the increase is 35A5 per cent. The r< suit in the ooe case has been controlled by the very favorable return of the Reading, in the other by the very favorable return of the Atchison ; though with the exception c.f the Color ado lines the roads in the Southwestern group, nearly all report gains.

All over Europe the utmost satisfaction is felt at the result of the Presidential election of Tuesday last. Although, as I explained last week, the general opinion was that Mr. McKin ley would be elected, nevertheless as the time of the election came closer and closer there was a decided feeling of uneasi ness. This uneasiness was undoubtedly intensified by the large sums of money which were withdrawn from Europe, and especially from the Bank of England, upon American account. These sums being so large and called for within so short a time were regarded in very many quarters as in the nature of “ accommodation money.” It is no exaggeration to say that the interest taken in the result of the ( lection was almost as keen in London as in New York, and the expres sions of satisfaction when the result was known were, as I have already said, unanimous. It is felt that not only have the American people escaped from a terrible calamity (for so the viotory of Mr. Bryan would have been regarded in Europe), but it is also felt that they have upon a great occa sion shown themselves worthy of the high character which they bear in the estimation of other peoples of the world .

The Money Market autl Financial Situation.—The gen eral situation, as it relates to Wall Street operations, has undergone very little change during the week. Business at the Stock Exchange has been more limited in volume than last week, but is in a more normal condition and confidence is becoming more firmly rooted. Increasing activity in industrial affaire continues to be a feature, although not so protounced as daring the ten days immediately following the election. The larger volume of business is shown by the increasing number of freight cars now being handled by many prominent railroads throughout the country, and by an increase of 1W per cent in the hank clearings. The fact that several railway systems report a decrease of earnings compare i with those of J885 is accounted for by the fact that last year the traffic was unusually heavy. Cur rent reports compare favorably with those for the corres ponding period o f 1894 The foreign exchange market is an interesting feature. It has been alternately easy and firm, with corresponding fluctuations in rates. The tendency to firmness was stimul ated by the high discount rates now ruling in London, wl ile our present foreign trade conditions naturally had an oppo site effect. The statistics o f the foreign trade of the United States for October, issued this week by the Treasury Depart ment, are significant. They show for that month the largest balance in our favor we have ever had with the single ex ception o f December, 1891. The condition of the banks and the money market is evidence of the fact that hoarded money continues to flow into the channels of trade. The bank statement to be issued to-morrow will doubtless show a further large increase in reserve and in deposits; the money market has been growing easier day by day. The open market rates for call loans during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2}4 to i per cent. To-day’s rates on call were to 8 per cent. Prime oommcTcial paper is quoted at 4jg to 5 per cent. The Bank o f England weekly statement on Thursday showed an increase in bullion of £213,942, and the percent age of reserve to liabilities was 62'53, against 52'40 last week ; the discount rate remains unchanged at 4 per cent. The Bank o f France shows an increase of 3,978,000 francs in gold and 2.724,000 francs in silver. The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement of Nov. 14 showed an increase in the reserve held of f t 8,673,500 and a surplus over the required reserve of $23,503,925, against 114,810,400 the previous week. ! ■ 1896.

The principal change to note in the railway bond market is a more limited volume o f business Offerings o f highgrade bonds have been readily absorbed by investors. The activity has been chiefly with the low-priced issues, includ ing American Spirits, Atchison, Reading, Northern Pacific and Texas & Pacific bonds, but extends in some degree to Chicago & Erie, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Hocking Valley, Rock Island, St. Paul, Mo, Kan. & Texas, Fort Worth & D. C., Oregon Improvement, San Antonio & A, Pass, Southern By.. Union Pacific, U. S. Cordage, Wabash, WestShore and Wis. Central issues. Southern By. bonds were weak on the failure of the Ryan syndicate to obtain control of the Seaboard Air-Line. Fort Worth & Denver City have advanced, on the restoration of the property to the control o f the company. Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market has been exceptionally narrow notwithstanding the per sistent efforts of traders who work for a lower range of prices. There are a few exceptions to the rule in the rail road list, including Manhattan Elevated, Southern Railway preferred and some o f the granger shares. Tills is not surprising in the case of Manhattan Elevated, which had advanced over 13 points within two weeks. All the Southern Railway securities have been weak for reasons mentioned above, and the grangers were depressed because of unfavorable traffic reports. The new Northern Pacific preferred (when issued) has been in favor and is one of the strong features of the market. The coal stocks have been strong on limited sales. The miscellaneous list has fluctuated more widely under active manipulation. American Tobacco has declined nearly 7 points. Metropolitan Traction rose 5 per cent on the declaration of the 20 per cent scrip dividend on Wednesday, but the advance was not sustained. American Sugar and Term, Coal, Iron & Ry. are 2% and 2 points respectively lower than last week. Pacific Mail advanced 2% points, as it is again on the list of dividend-payers. American Spirits has been heavily dealt in and had advanced 2 points on Wednesday, when it sold at 14%, but has dropped back to last week’s quotations. General Electric, Western Union, U. S. Leather preferred and Chicago Gas are fractionally lower than last week. THE CHRONICLE. 910 NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE — ACTIVE SPOOKS fo r week ending [VoL. LX III, V O V. •£&, and since JAN. 1, 1898.

Co., sold in fore closure Sept. 23. The new company has capital stock aggre gating $20,000,000, in $50 shares. Us officers and directors are as follows : President, Josepu S. Harris ; First Vice-Presi dent, Theodore Voorhees; Treasurer, W A. Caurch; General Solicitor, James D. Campbell and Comptroller Daniel Jones. Directors — George F. Baer, Charles H Coster, Thomas McKean, Francis Lynde Stetson, George C. Thomas and John Lo vber Welsh. Of these directors Messsrs. Baer, McKean and W ish were members of the old board. The directors hold office until the first Monday of May, 1897. Messrs, Coster and Stetson presented a deed of conveyance, which was delivered to the directors, after they had handed over to the accredited purchasers the entire capital stock of the company, except seven shares—one share for each of the board—and also a bond of the company for $30,009,000, dated Nov. 18, 1896, and payable Jan. 1, 1997, with interest at the rate of 6 per cent. The bond is secured by a mortgage on all the property and franchises. The expectation is that the receivers of the old Reading Railroad will transfer the property to the new corporation at midnight on Nov. 30. The directors of the Reading Coal & Iron Co. also met and accepted the deed of conveyance given by Messrs. Coster and Slots m, the purchasers of the coal and iron property at foreclosure sale. As appears from the preceding statements, the properties of the Railroad Company and of the Coal & Iron Company are to be held as heretofore by two separate corporations) out sine, the present laws of Pennsylvania forbid the new rail way company to own over 30,000 acres of coal land, the plan is to have a company called the “ Reading Company” own all IVa lerbury R o tsto n the securities of the other two companies and issue its own p la n . p la n . 1, First mortgage 5 p o. 50-year gold bonds.$5,000,000 * 5 ,0 0 ‘.000 securities to the public in accordance with the reorganization 4,fjS,too plan.

Both boarcs recomend the acceptance of the reduction. The semi-annual dividend of the Catawissa road is said to have been withheld pending the decision of the questi in. The proposal is understood to be t >reduce the dividend on Catawissa shares from 7 to 5 per cent, on Mine Hill & Schuyl kill Haven shares from 8 to 6 per cent. The "Pniladclohia Ledger” says it understands “ that the Reading management has proposed to the Chestnut Hill RR. to reduce the rental, now 12 per cent, to 6 per cent.” The Reading Company, in case of non-acquiescence, will not assume the properties.— V. 63, p. 881.

Seaboard Air-Line—Seaboard & Roanoke RR —Trans fers o f Stock Refused—It was officially announced on Mov. 17 that the deal for the sale of th“ Seaboard Air-Line to Thos. F. Ryan, representing a New York syndicate, had oeen Blocked by the refusal of the po it committee to deliver, as Mr. Ryan alleges it bad c intracted to do, the stock which it holds. ••Under the terms of the pooling agreement,” President Hoffman is quoted as saying,“no sale of the pooled stock can be made without the assent of three-fourths of the stock pooled. There are 8,321 shares in the pool, and as less than half that amount gave their consent no sale will be made.” Thos. F. Ryan on Wednesday made substantially the fol lowing statement regarding the situation : [V ol. l x ih . paid it. The gross earnings since the defendant company took possession of the Terre Haute & Peoria are stated as fol lows : For the thirteen months ending Oct. 81,1893, §149,520; for the year ending Oct 31, 1894, §404 014; for the yeir end ing Oct. 31, 1895, $445,483; October, 1895, up to Sjpt. 1, 1898, (estimated), §341,000, all of which money, it is alleged, has been appropriated by the defendant. The complai tants further allude to the fact, already made known in these columns, that the interest payable by the defendant company upon the bonds of tae Terre Haute & L 'gansport and the Indiana & Lake Michigan is in default. The complainants further expressed the belief that the in terest hue Nov. 16 on the second mortgage bends of the Sc. Louis Vandalta & Terre Haute, and also the interest and principal due Jan. 1, 1897, on the first mortgage bonds of the same company would not be paid at maturity. As a matter of fact, we learn from the Central Trust Co. that the interest on this second mortgage was due Nov. 1 and that the cou pons were then and are now being naid on presentation. In 1892, when ttie Terre HiUte & Peoria was leased to the T. H, & I,, a new mortgage for §2,500,000 was executed by the T. H. & P., and it was understood that all the old firs: mortgage bonds of 1887, aggregating § i,800,000, were ex changed at that time for the new bonds. It now transpires that old first mortgage bonds for §112,000 remain outstand ing, underlying the mortgage of 1892. —V. 63, p 407.

Of the bonds authorized $3,969,000 are placed in trust and can be issu“d only on retirem ?at of an equal amount of cue outstanding firit mortgage fives. The re mainder of the loan is applicable to the payment of the out standing debentures and the floating debt, etc. Debentures to the amount of §6,000,000, it seems, have been created, but only §2,700,000 sold, and of this last amount $2,000,000, it is understood, are subject to call on or before Dec. 1, 1896. The remainder of the debentures were pledged as collateral to secure the floating debt, which will now be taken up, consols for $3,331,000 being reported already sold. The new bonds are for §1,000 each, bearing 5 per cent interest (payable M. & N.) and mature Nov. 1. 1936. Both principal and inter est are payable in gold.—V. 63, p. 756.

There has been general liquidation by “ longs,’1 induced by a continued free movement of cotton from planters’ hands. The belief has been growing steadily lat terly that the crop has been under-estimated. Saturday there was a steady market, with the ohanges in prices for the day unimportant. Monday, however, prices broke rather sharply, as there were free offerings from the South and Europe, and local operators were also selling, prompted by the fullness of the crop movement. Tuesday the selling pressure was not so great ahd a recovery of 3 to 4 points in prices was made, as there was some buying by “shorts” to cover contracts. Wednesday the market again turned weaker, prices showing a deoline for the day of 13@16 points. There was renewed selling for Southern and foreign account, and as prices de clined stop orders were reached, which added to the weak ness of the market. Thursday there was an irregular mar ket. The opening was steady but later in the day there was a pressure to sell, both for Southern and foreign account. Toward the close, nowever, on advices from Texas stating that the crop movement would show a falling off next week, there was a recovery. To-day the market declined 5@7 points during early ’Change under general selling, prompted by the interior receipts for the week showing a larger move ment of the crop than had been estimated. Subsequently, however, on a demand from “ shorts” to cover contracts, prices advanced and the close was steady, with prices 3 points lower to 3 points higher for the day. Cotton on the spot has been quiet and prices declined j^c. <n Monday and 1-16c. on Wednesday. To-day the market was quiet and l-16o. lower, middling uplands closing at 7%o. The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 1,339,309 bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week 3,846 bales, including ---- for export, 346 for consum ption,-----for speculation and 2,500 on contract.

November 20, 1896 There has continued a quiet market for wheat flour, as buy ers and sellers have been apart in their views. The latter, despite a weaker turn to the grain market, have held firm as they hold only a moderate stock and the offerings by mills have been small, but buyers would only trade at concessions. City mills have been quiet but steady. Rye flour has been quiet and without change. Buckwheat flour has been in slow demand but steadily held. Corn meal has sold slowly, but no changes have occurred in values. To-day the market for wheat flour was quiet and unchanged. There has been a fairly active speculation in the market for wheat fu ures, but there has been a weaker tendency to prices. Early in the week large Russian shipments and an unexpected increase in the visible supply of wheat in this country prompted free selling by “ longs” to realize profits, and prices declined rather sharply. Subsequently, however, there was a partial recovery on a demand from “ shorts” to cover contracts, stimulated by stronger foreign advices and a revival of ihe export demand, but yesterday the market again turned weaker under liquidating sales by longs. In the spot market shippers have been fairly large buyers, in cluding about 200,000 bushels purchased for export to Aus tralia. The business transacted yesterday included No. 1 Northern Duluth at 89%e. f.o.b. afl iat. To-day the market was fairly active at declining prices under continued liquidation by longs, prompted by easier foreign advices. The spot mar ket was fairly active. The sales included No. 1 Northern Duluth at 87%c. f.o.b. afloat and No. 1 hard at 9 0% o. f.o.b. afloat. No. 2 red winter was quoted nominally at 93%c. f.o.b. afloat. r id a y , DAILY CLOSING PRICES OF NO. 2 BED WINTER WHEAT. Sat. Jfo n . Tues Wed.

Fr id a y . P. M., N o v . 20, 1896. The attendance of buyers during the past week has been fair, bat considerably smaller than the preceding week, and there has be.-n a quieter market on the spot in the cottongoods division. As a matter of fact business has hardly borne out expectations even of the more conservative char acter, and in a number of directions disappointment with re. suits is expressed. The tone of the market is still steady, but there are no apparent indications at the close of any improve ment in prices, such ns were seen here and there immediately after the elections. The weather has been too mild for a brisk business in seasonable lines, whilst the weakness in the cotton market bus been against sellers of staple cotton goods. There is no wider ce of stocks of the latter accumulating, and in a number of lines the market is out indifferently supplied. The demand for new spring specialties has been fair. Busi ness in men '-wear woolens continues dull, but prices are firm. Dress goods are selling fairly. Several important auc tion sales were held during the week, including woolen, worsted and cotton dress goods, silk tiobons and silk hand kerchiefs and mufflers, R-.ults were generally satisfactory, but disclosed no striking feature, Wooi.ES G oods —The re order demand for light-weight woolens and worsteds for men's wear has shown no expan sion during the past week, buyers atiil proceeding with much caution in taking supplementary supplies. Sellers of fancy all-wool goods in medium grades are not easy to deal with and advanced prices are occasionally asked. Some new lines of heavy weight goods for next fall have b e e n opened, but the display so far is decidedly limited. An occasional^ line show* an advance of about 5 per cent over last season. There is a light demand for fall weights for immediate delivery. Cotton-warp and cotton-mixed goods are dull. Over coatings sell slow 1v, n? do cloakings. Tbe latter are affected by several failures during the past week in tbe cloaking trade. Flannels and b l a n k e t ? are without material change. Spring dress good? arc fairly well ordered at steady prices; fall business quiet.

District Irrigation Laws of California Declared Valid. —The Supreme Court of the United States has this week rendered a decision sustaining the constitutionality of the Wright Irrigation District Law of California. This decision will establish the validity of Dume-ous issues of irrigation district bonds, which has been in question for some time past. Last year the United States Circuit* Court of Southern Cali fornia decided against the Wright Law, which had been pre viously upheld by the Supreme Court of California. The United States Supreme Court now sustains the opinion of the State Court and reverses the decision of the Federal Circuit Court. The “ District Irrigation Law” of California, popularly known as the “ Wright Act,” was passed by the Legislature after a hard struggle in 1887, and was amended in 1889 and 1891. It provides that the organization and government of irrigation districts shall be much the same as that of counties, t authorizes the districts to issue bonds for the acquirement of irrigation works and canals, to make assessments for the payment of the principal and interest of such bonds, and in case the assessments become delinquent to sell the property for their payment. Protection of Municipal Bo ad Issues.—The system for the more adequate protection of municipal bond issues inaug urated by the U. S. Mortgage & Trust Co., of New York is meeting with the success deserved. The company has cer tified as to the genuineness of over $6,000,000 of bonds pre pared by them. By the use of its own steel plates the cost for printing bonds is greatly reduced, so that a small muni cipality can avail itself of the system, and have its bonds surrounded by the same safeguards as protect securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange. B o n d P ro p o s a ls a n d N e g o tia tio n s.— We have r<ceived through the week the following notices of bonds recently negotiated and bonds offered and to be offered for sale. .
