'dared that the company must be kept out of politics.
As the agreement seems to fall short of accomplishing
its purpose, it would not be surprising if the company
failed to make a strong fight against its annulment.
Still another ground urged in the complaint as a reason
for the disrupting of the agreement is that it is undertaken to turn over to the city certain street railways
which are beyond the city limits, such as the lines to
Willow Grove and Doylestown and to Media and
'Chester.
A marked change in the attitude of the daily press
is noted since the Retail Merchants' Association, composed of the proprietors of department stores, had a
conference with the proprietors of the Philadelphia
newspapers. The editors were plainly told that by
opening their columns for the use of agitators who
sought to obtain notoriety through attacks upon the
street railway company, they were not serving the
public but simply playing into the hands of those
who desired to make political capital or obtain free
advertising. Since this conference the agitation has
almost entirely disappeared.
George H. Earle Jr., who recently resigned from the
Union Traction board, has also resigned as a director
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. and his resignation has been accepted. Mr. Earle has not a large
personal interest in the companies, but some of the
financial institutions of which he is President are
stockholders. The vacancy in the Rapid Transit
board has not yet been filled.
The foreign trade statement for October 1908, made
public Monday, indicates a satisfactory result, notwithstanding the value of exports for the period was
moderately less than for the same month of 1907, and
exhibits somewhat more of a decline compared with
the result for October 1906. It is. however, to be
said that the declines recorded in 1908 are more
largely a matter of lower prices for the commodities
than of a less quantity of goods exported. This is
particularly true as compared with 1907, when cotton
prices ruled much higher than now. In fact, upon the
basis of prices in October 1907, this year's outflow
of that single commodity would have shown.a value
sufficiently greater to turn the 1908 loss in exports into
a gain over last year and give a result a little larger
than in 1906. In other words, the average price of the
cotton exported in October 1907 was 11 9-16 cents
per pound, whereas the current year the price was
only 914 cents. On the basis, therefore, of last
year's price, the value of this October's cotton shipments would have been 74 millions of dollars, as
against the 58 millions actually reported, and the
aggregate value of all commodities exported would
have exceeded the month's total for 1907 by 8 millions
and 1906 by about 1 million dollars.
Certain items of imports, as for instance, luxuries,
in October last furnish evidence of improving
conditions of trade in this country. With the advent
of bad times imports of luxuries largely decline, and
do not come in for increasing attention again until
general trade has become more active. We noted a
month ago increasing imports of diamonds and other
precious stones, automobiles, &c., as demonstrating
that a similar situation was a feature of September.
As stated above, the aggregate outflow of merchandise in 'October was $172,000,804, which corn-

pares with $180,253,296 for October 1907 and $187,353,348 for the like period of 1906. The articles for
which advance figures are issued show collectively
a small excess over a year ago, although some of the
important individual items record declines. For
instance, .in the breadstuffs division there is a loss
of 31A millions of dollars, due to a smaller outflow
of corn, wheat and flour, and moderate decreases in
the shipments of provisions, and of cattle, sheep
and hogs are to be noted. But cotton exports covered
a value some 5 millions of dollars more than in 1907,
and the outward movement of mineral oils was appreciably greater this year than last. It thus follows
that the aggregate exports of the principal items
(breadstuffs, provisions, cattle, &c., cotton and
mineral oils) were 1j millions of dollars larger than
for October, 1907, the comparison being between
$101,022,246 and $99,977,210. Other articles of

In4i1 aftergthe close of the month therefore moved
out less freely this year than /lost, for, as indicated
above, the combined merchandise outflow shows a
falling off of $8,252,492.
For the ten months of the calendar year 1908 the
total exports of commodities were $1,402,768,153,
against $1,511,841,992 in the corresponding interval
of 1907, or a falling off of 109 millions,and,contrasted
with 1906, the decline reached 23 millions. Almost
all items of exports share in the decrease from 1907,
copper and manufactures thereof being the only
conspicuous exception. The leading articles for which
advance figures are obtainable account for a decline
of, 19 millions, over 30 millions loss is to be found in
iron and steel and manufactures, and approximately
12 millions in wood and manufactures, leaving less
than 30 millions to be covered by all other commodities.
iThe inflow of merchandise from abroad in October
reached a value of $102,142,827, which, while the
first total in excess of 100 millions recorded since
November of 1907, was the smallest October aggregate
since 1904. At the same time the decline from
October of 1907 and 1906 are almost identical with
the losses shown in exports. For the ten months
since January 1 1908 imports of commodities, however, covered a value of but $900,658,289, or a falling

of 1907 the various articles going to make up our
import aggregate show declines in value this year
and many of conspicuous amount. In some cases,
in fact, the value of the 'arrivals in 1908 have been
barely half what they were in 1907. Chemicals,
copper, cotton manufactures, diamonds, &c., hemp,
flax, &c., and manufactures thereof, hides and
skins, India rubber, iron and steel and manufactures,
silk and manufactures, tin and wool, each record
decreases ranging from 10 to 24 millions, and with
such the status it is not difficult to comprehend an
aggregate falling off of over 300 millions. The
favorable, or export, balance of merchandise for the
month was $69,857,977, against $68,340,675 in
October 1907 and $69,224,996 in 1906. Of course
, with imports, as shown, declining much greater than
exports, the favorable balance for the ten months is
very heavy; in fact, of -trecord proportions. For the
period in 1908 it reached $502,109,864, against

cable from London, the Bank of England gained £82,740 bullion during the week and held £35,801,936 at
the close of the week. Our correspondent further
advises us that the gain was due wholly to receipts
from the interior of Great Britain, exports having
exceeded imports by £43,000. The details of the
movement into and out of the Bank were as follows:
Imports, £205,000 from India, unearmarked; exports, £248,000 (of which £100,000 to Buenos Ayres,
£100,000 to Batavia, £40,000 to Bucharest and £8,000
to Gibraltar), and receipts of £126,000 net from the
interior of Great Britain.

holds control of the Louisville & Nashville RR., but
this is operated as a separate property, and the same
is true of the Charleston & Western Carolina and the
Northwestern Railroad of South Carolina, which are
also controlled. Altogether nearly 12,000 miles of
road are owned or controlled. Control of the Louisville & Nashville is held through the ownership of
$30,600,000 out of the $60,000,000 outstanding capital
stock of that company. The purchase was made in
October 1902, the Coast Line RR. giving as consideration $35,000,000 of its collateral trust bonds,
besides $5,000,000 in the common stock of the Atlantic
Coast Line RR. and $10,000,000 in cash. The cost
of the purchase was subsequently reduced on the books
of the Atlantic Coast Line RR. to $45,554,220 by the
application of $5,000,000 of accumulated surplus.
The Louisville & Nashville being operated separately,
the Coast Line Railroad's investment in the same appears merely in the dividends received on its holdings
of the stock of the company. As these dividends
were 6% (until the change to 2 2% made in the semiannual payment in August 1908), the Coast Line has
'been getting $1,836,000 per annum on the $30,600,000
of stock held. On the other hand, the annual call for

4% collateral trust bonds issued in part payment for
the Louisville & Nashville stock purchased is only
$1,400,000 per year.
The Atlantic Coast Line RR. sold $930,000 of treasury bonds during the year and also issued $1,404,500
4% certificates of indebtedness, making $2,334,500 •
together. But allowing for the• bonds retired, the
increase in the amount of securities of the company
in the hands of the public was only $1,842,500. On
the other hand, the company spent $5,247,559 for
new construction and additions during the year. Yet
the company was as strong in cash on June 30 1908‘
as on June 30 1907, the comparison of cash holdings
being $4,675,963, against $4,630,711.
The report contains a discussion of the effects of the
lower passenger rates forced upon the road in the different States through which the lines of the system run,
showing that these lower rates are proving a serious
burden. By agreement with the railroad commissions of most of the States served by the system there
was put into effect on April 1 1908, as an experiment,
reduced passenger rates, including 2-cents-per-mile
interchangeable mileage tickets. Figures are given
showing that the experiment is proving a costly
one. The company had a large increase in through
travel during the winter months to and from Southern
resorts, but this came to an end with the month of
April. As the result of this increase in travel, passenger revenues for April still showed an increase of $33,735, as compared with the corresponding month in
1907. But in May passenger receipts, as compared
with 1907, fell off $49,384, in June $95,782, in July
$92,122, in August $115,939 and in September $104,664. In other words, in the five months following
April (the last month of the heavy through travel),
passenger revenues fell off no less than $457,891,
1331
e9up.1 to 17.8 per cent. Of this, $164,000, we are told,
tfi" be attributed to the holding of the Jamestow4
Exposition last year,and of the remainder an average of
$50,000 per month is due to the lower passenger rates.
It is well to,have the facts presented in such a clear
and intelligible way, and it is to be hoped that this
showing will have a salutary effect upon the authorities in the different States, inducing them to retrace
their steps and adopt a more reasonable attitude
hereafter towards the railroads.
RAILROAD GROSS AND NET EARNINGS FOR
SEPTEMBER.
The improvement which is taking place in railroad
earnings is made decidedly manifest in the compila"-tions we present to-day for the month of September.
For the first time in any month this year there is a
gain in net earnings. Of course, this gain is the result
entirely of a reduction in expenses, but even the comparison as to the gross earnings is the best of any
monthly exhibit of the year.
Our tables cover 200,908 miles of road,and on these
the falling off in gross reaches only $13,950,886, or
6.23%. This loss in gross was met by a reduction
of $19,763,656 in expenses, producing a gain of
$5,812,770 in net earnings-8.41%. What a con:trast this presents with the results for the periods preceding is evident from the figures for the nine months
ending Sept. 30. These latter cover a much smaller
extent of mileage, namely 162,869 miles, but the loss
in gross reaches $224,792,698,or 14.14%; the reductioti
in expenses was $161,861,721, leaving $62,930,977
shrinkage in net, or 13.66%.

The reduction in expenses is evidence that the roads
have succeeded in getting control of their expense accounts. In great part the reduction comes as the result of natural causes. In the first place, railroad labor, with the decreased demand for it, is decidedly
more efficient than it was. In the second place,
though wages of railroad laborers have not been reduced, the salaries of the higher officials have been cut
in a number of instances. This is particularly true
of the roads in the South. In the third place, now that
there is freedom from traffic congestion, which existed in such a marked degree before the advent of business depression, and which made railroad operations so costly, it is possible to conduct the railroad
transportation service with greater advantage, and,
therefore, more cheaply. Then it must also be remembered that, with the volume of traffic less, many
items of expenses naturally decline. In addition, of
course, the tremendous shrinkage in railroad gross
earnings sustained during 1908 has forced railroad
managers to practice extreme economy, and consequently all repair work and renewals that can be
deferred, not to speak of additions and improvements,
have been put off to a more propitious time.
What a pass things had'reached in 1907 in this mutter of operating cost is evident from our statement for
September last year, showing that, with $13,172,222
increase in gross receipts, expenses had mounted up
$16,766,725, causing an actual loss in net earnings at
that time, on the roads reporting,of $3,594,503. In the
years immediately preceding,too,the September record
of the net had been somewhat disappointing. In the
following wd show the totals for.the last thirteen years.

In the case of the separate roads the list of gains in
net is a long one, while at the Same time there are .not
;a few instances of increase in gross, too. Of course
reduced expenses are chiefly .responsible for the improved showing of net, but in not a few cases gains in
gross have contributed to the same end. The Southern Pacific, for example, has $458,424 decrease in
gross with $1,062,629 gain in net, but the Union Pacific has a gain in both gross and net, namely,$464,360

Currency Bill, it was inexpedient to call a convention at the
present time. It was recommended, however, that steps
be taken toward the formation of a permanent national
organization for the purpose of studying the currency and
banking question, and to this end the appointment of a
committee of seven was authorized. The following are the
resolutions bearing on the matter, which were adopted:
Resolved: That this conference is deeply impressed with the necessity
of having enacted into law a measure which shall reform our currency
and banking system and place It upon a sound and equitable basis.
It therefore recommends that the commercial bodies of the United
States shall take under immediate consideration and give careful s udy to
such legislation as may be required to accomplish this end.
It also recommends that such commercial,bodies appoint special committees,for the study of what changes• are needed, so that they May be
prepared to act In unison either in support Of the national monetary commission or along such lines as may be deemed best for the interests of the
business community.
Resolved: That this conference deems it unwise to call a convention
at present, but it recommends that all commercial bodies join in the formation of a permanent national organization for the purpose of studying
the currency and banking question, of disseminating , information,and
keeping alive public Interest and carrying into effect the results of their
conclusions
Resolved: That a committee ot seven be appointed by the Chair to inv,te
the co-operation of commercial and civic bodies and to recommend to
them further details of organization, with especial reference to (a) Organization and Finance, (b) Education and Literature. tc) LejelatIon.
The committee appointed consists of Irving T. Bush, of
the Merchants' Association of New York; Francis T. Simnions of, the Chicago Association of Commerce; R. G. Rhett,
of the CharleSton (S. C.) Chatnber of Commerce; Herbert
E. Law Of the Merchants' Association, San Francisco'; Finley
Acker Of the Philadelphia Trades' League; Wm. Geo. Bruce
of the Merchants' & Manufacturers' Association, Milwaukee,
and Lyman H. Treadway of the Chamber of Commerce,
Cleveland. A luncheon was tendered the guests by the
Association, at which Charles N. Fowler, Chairman of the
House COmmittee on Banking and Chrrency, was a speaker.
In the evening the Merchants' Association was host at a
dinner io the delegates at the Jolly Mariners' Club, 100

States notifies the bank that notes have been redeemed for its account, the
bank should show the amount In both the redemption fund and in the
circulation account. All such accounts should be entered as debits in the
redemption account and remittances when made should be credited to that
account, thus showing the actual amount due to or from the bank In -this
account. The amount of the bank's notes in the Treasury for redemption,
as indicated by the notice referred to, should be entered as a debit In the
circulation account, and that account should not be credited until new
notes have been placed in circulation. In other words, the balance of the
redemption account must be the actual amount due to or from the Treasurer, and the balance of the circulation account must be the actual amount
of notes outstanding.
"Whenever it is found that the accounts named are incorrectly shown
upon the books,tpeexaminer is Instructed to advise the bank of the proper
entries to be made,and to insist that the accounts be properly kept thereafter and to report the fact to this office. The exam ner must verify the

The instructions iu‘the matter of the savings'deposits are
as follows:
"Hereafter this office will require all nation al banks to enter saving
deposits as a separate item between Items No. 11 and 12 on credit plde

Supreme Court in the matter of the reduction in the receivership fees of the Knickerbocker Trust Co. of this city. On
Tuesday the Court granted a motion of Deputy Attorney
General Williams that the order of the Appellate Division
be allowed to stand. The decision of the latter Court
reduced the fees of the three receivers from $75,000 to $20,000
each, and the fees of their counsel from $75,000 to $20,000.
—Edward King, for the past thirty-five years President
of the Union Trust Co. of this city, died on the 18th inst.,
after several week's illness. Mr. King was born at Highwood, Weehawken,in 1833, and was a son of the late James
Gore King,a prominent banker of this city, and a grandson
of Rufus King, a former Minister to England. His mother,
Sarah Rogers Gracie, was a daughter of Archibald Gracie.
Edward King began his business career in 1853, when,
following his graduation from Harvard, he entered the bankIng firm of James Gore King's Sons. In 1872 he served as
President of the New York Stock Exchange, and during the
panic of 1873 was made President of the Union Trust Co.
Mr. King's election to the presidency occurred at a time
when the affairs of the company were in a highly critical
condition, the institution having in fact been obliged to suspend in 1873.. Under his able direction it has been raised to
its present important position. Mr. King served as Chairman of the Committee of Trust Companies of New York
City,recently dissolved, which came into being at the time
of the panic last year for the purpose of extending aid to
institutions requiring assistance. He was also a director of
the Hanover National Bank of this city.

controlled the Bank of Havana. The absorbed institution
was organized in 1906 and had a capital of $2,500,000. The

into receivers' hands in April 1904. Rothschild was arrested
on the alleged charge of misappropriating about $200,000

The decision to transfer the deposits of the company to the
two institutions named was reached on Sunday following
an examination of its assets made by the Associated banks
of Cleveland. While these assets are said to be sufficient
to pay all depositors in full, it is stated that the stockholders
will probably not receive more than 50% on their stock, for
which they paid $125 per share, the capital having been
$300,000 and the surplus $75,000. The depositors were
offered the option of immediate payment of their accounts

—It was announced yesterday that William B. Ridgely,
formerly Comptroller of the Currency, had retired from the
presidency of the National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City,
having disposed of his holdings in the bank to W. S. Woods,
the former President, and his associates. The announcement that Mr. Ridgeley had transferred his holdings was
made on Monday, following earlier reports that Dr. Woods
and his friends had obtained control of between 12,000 and
13,000 of the 20,000 shares of the bank. Mr. Ridgely's
resignation is accompanied by that of George T. Cutts as
Vice-President and Edward Ridgely as Cashier. All of
these officers were chosen to the management last spring,
the reorganized bank opening under their direction on March
30, William B. Ridgely resigning asiComptroller of the Cur-

—Through negotiations perfected on the 14th inst.
between the National Bank of Commerce in St. Louis and
the Commonwealth Trust Company,the latter has transferred
to the bank its commercial banking business, and the two
institutions are brought into close affiliation. As a result
of the arrangements,the trust company will abandon its
plans for the organization of a national bank under the
name of the Commonwealth National Bank, the application
to organize which was approved by the Comptroller of the
Currency on August 24. While the company disposes of its
commercial banking business (in the neighborhood of
$8,000,000),it will continue to develop actively its savings
deposits (of which it has over $1,000,000) and its trust
farm, loan and real estate departments. Options for the
purchase of all the stock of the company (par $100 per
share) are understood to have been asked of the stockholders at $325 per share, the option to run for fifteen months
from the 14th inst. The trust company has a capital of
$2,000,000. According to the St. Louis "Globe-Democrat,"
there is to be a division among its shareholders of its surplus
in the neighborhood of $4,000,000, including the amount
paid by the bank (said to be $500,000) for the company's
deposits. This dividend of $200 per share is to be paid
when the stock is deposited with the trustees named in the
option, and is to form part of the purchase price of $325.
Tom Randolph, President of the Commonwealth Trust
Company, and W. L. McDonald, Vice-President, have been
elected Vice-Presidents of the National Bank of Commerce,
and Samuel M. Kennard, Elias Michael and Samuel C.
Davis of the board of the trust company have become
members of the board of the bank. Other directors of the
company will, it is expected, enter the directorate of the
bank at the annual meeting in January. None of the
directors of the trust company will sever their connection
with that institution on account of their election to the
board of the bank. It is reported that A. N. Edwards,
Vice-President of the trust company, will become President
of the trust company. B. F. Edwards, his brother, is at
the head of the National Bank of Commerce, which in its
statement of September 23 reported deposits of $52,540,718.
The acquisition of the commercial accounts of the trust
company will bring the deposits up to over $60,000,000.

Wall Street, Friday Night, Nov'. 20 1908.
The Money Market and Financial Situation.-The upward
movement of security values which was in full swing at the
close last week practically reached a climax at that time.
The aggressive demand for securities which followed the
election was then about satisfied and business at the Exchange this week has been of a decidedly more conservative
character. No change of importance has taken place in conditions which regulate or control the markets,and therefore
prices have generally fluctuated within a narrow range this
week.
• The foreign markets have been somewhat disturbed by
renewed discussion of the Balkan situation and perhaps some
sales of American shares in London may be traced to that
cause.
The foreign bank statements make, as for some time
past, a very strong showing; although the Bank of England's
percentage of reserve is somewhat smaller than last week.
The firmer tone in the local money market noted last week
has not been maintained,and rates,especially for call loans,
are lower.
The.open market rates for call loans at the Stock Exchange
during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged
from 13/
9% to 2%. To-day's rates on call were 13/2@2%.
Commercial paper quoted at 4% for 60 to 90 day endorsements and 4M% for best single names.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed an increase in bullion of £82,740 and the percentage
of reserve to liabilities was 52.67, against 53.03 last week.
The rate of discount remains unchanged at 23/2% as fixed
May 28. The Bank of France shows an increase of 23,800,000 francs gold and 3,675,000 francs silver.

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.-Following the
unusual activity and advance in prices which characterized
the stock market last week, the volume of business has
diminished about one-third and prices this week have been
unsteady. The transactions have averaged a trifle more
than 1,000,000 shares per day, as against 1,600,000 last
week, and there has been practically no change in the
tone of the Market from day to day. The demand has
been fully offset by offerings bought or expected to be
bought at a lower range of prices than that now prevailing,
and, although fluctuations have been relatively narrow,
almost the entire active list closes lower than last week.
Louisville & Nashville has been a notably. strong feature.
It advanced over 4 points,to 1203/8, and has held about half
the gain. Baltimore & Ohio is fractionally higher and
North West. closes at last week's price. On the other h nd,
St. Paul, Great Northern, Pennsylvania, Reading and
Erie are 2 points or more lower than a week ago.
The copper stocks show a substantial reaction from their
recent advance and American Sugar Refining has been
weak, perhaps on account of the Government's suit against
the company. Steel common, although nearly 3 points
down, is still above its previous highest record, and the
preferred is only little more than a point lower than last
week.
For daily volume of business see page 1347.

Outside Market.-Trading in the "curb" market was
diversified this week, the activity in bonds playing a leading
part. Considerable business was done in the inactive

RAILROAD GROSS EARNINGS.
The following table shows the gross earnings of every STEAM railroad from which regular weekly or monthly returns
can be obtained. The first two columns of figures give the gross earnings for the latest week or month, and the last two
columns the earnings for the period from July 1 to and including such latest week or month. We add a supplementary
statement to show the fiscal year totals of those roads whose fiscal year does not begin with July, but covers some other
period. The returns of the street railways are brought together separately on a subsequent page.

continuation of the remarkable success which has attended the development of your road, and.taking them as an index, the year's business would
have exceeded past records had It not been interrupted by one of the most
severe panics in the history of this country. This resulted in an immediate
and heavy decrease In all classes of earnings, the revenue from freight suffering most. Practically all the sawmills and industrial plants along the road
ceased operations.
At this writing, Oct. 16 1908, practically all of the mills, alarge percentage of which had been idle for several months, have resumed business,

ments of all of the steel *fisting plants Into a fairly well-balanced condition,
and while expenditures are always necessary to keep Buell plants up to date,
•
no present plans are contemplated involving any large expense.
Status.-The company has no debts (aside from bonds and debentures)
except current bills, and all of these which are due and approved have
been paid, advantage being taken of all cash discdunts.
Sinking Fund:-During the year advantage was taken from time to time
to secure bonds for sinking fund purposes at attractive prices, with the
result that the sinking fund and accretions for the year to Oct. 1 1908
will pay for $171,000 of the 6% bo ds, making the total retired at that
date $835,000 out of the original issue of $3,500,000.
Change in Capitalization, &c.-Under date of Jan. 3 1908 a plan for a
ehange in the character and amount of the capital stock was submitted
and on June 12 was approved by the stockholders. (V. 86, p. 170, 1531;
V. 87, p. 348.) All of the new stock has been issued and most of the old
stock has been exchanged for then new stock, securities and cash.
The plan adopted provided for the cancellation of all the outstanding
stock, both preferred and common, and the issuance in lieu thereof of
$17,184,000 new stock of one kind and class, without distinction or preference between any of the holders thereof; also the issuance of $3,436,800
of 4% 15-year debentures and the payment of•$515,520 cash, distributable
as follows: to the preferred stock 77% In new stock, 20% in debentures
and 3% in cash: to the common stock 25% in new stock.
The plan also provided that any surplus arising from the retirement
and cancellation of stock and the accumulated surplus up to August 1,
1907 should be applied (I) against the cash to the preferred, stockholders;
(2) to provide for the debentures; (3) to reduce the cost of properties
account.
After absorbing necessary expenses in connection with the plan, and
applying the surplus as provided, the net result is the present capital stock
$(17,184,000), an amount which may fairly be considered as representing
the value of the company's assets In excess of its bonded debt.and on which
under normal business conditions dividends should be earned and paid;
a- reduction In the property account of substantially $15,000,000 and a
permanent working capital sufficient for ordinary conditions; furthermore,
owing to the change In the amount of authorized and issued stock, the
company is enabled to comply with the requirements of certain States In
which it has heretofore had no legal standing.
The reduction in the capital stock of the American Steel Bolster Co., of
which this comnany Is the beneficial owner, authorized before the last
annual report and balance sheet, has been consummated.
Annual Meeting.-As the time between the close of our fiscal year and
the date of the stockholders' annual meeting. as previously fixed, was too
short for the proper preparation of accounts, reports, &c., the by-laws
have been changed, making the annual meeting date, begininng 1908,
the first Thursday next preceding the first Friday in December.
Outlook.-While the volume of business Is still small and far from satisfactory,there has been Ik distinct improvement since August 1. Now that
the Presidential election is settled, It is believed progress toward normal
sonditions will continue more rapidly. Orders not received during any
particular year is not business lost, but simply delayed.

(Report for Fiscal Year ending Sept. 30 1908.)
President C. M. Weld, Boston, Nov. 17 1908, says:
Owing to the business depression prevailing during the last twelve
months, we have been unable to operate our spindles to theirfull capacity,
without accumulating a stock of yarn, which we did not consider wise.
The profits for the year have been $736,000. Dividends of 6% on both
common and preferred stocks have been paid, and $57,800 has been paid
into the sinking fund and $57,000 of bonds have been canceled; $25,000
additional bonds have been canceled from proceeds of real estate sales.
5% each on the common
The directors have declared four dividends of 13,
stock, payable Oct. 11008. Jan. 1, April 1 and July 1 1909.
During the year we have remodeled departments 11-12, replacing old
spindles with the most modern machinery, and adding greatly to the
dyeing plant. Department 17 is now in process of remodeling, the old
mules being replaced by new spinning frames and cornbers added,
Since Oct. 1 the volume of business has greaty increased, so that we
are now running full, with the exception of department 17. which will start
shortly.

This will not interfere with the maturing of reorganization
plans after due deliberation by the joint reorganization
committee (V. 87, p. 1301), since it is expected the committee will bid in the road at the sale and pay for the same
with the deposited bonds. The bondholders, as owners,
can then run the road, leaving all questions as to the priority
of the various liens and the validity of claims for which
provision is to be •made in the reorganization plan to be
subsequently determined by litigation or otherwise.
A similar course is to be followed in regard to the Third

after that of the Metropolitan Company.

THE CHRONICLE
unanimously recommend that the stockholders at a meeting
called for Dec. 1 authorize a new issue of $15,000,000 30-year
gold bonds, dated July 1, either 1909, 1910 or 1911, bearing
interest at the rate of not over 5% per annum, payable
semi-annually, to be secured by a mortgage containing a
provision that the bonds are only to be issued for the retirement of debt outstanding at the date of the mortgage, and
thereafter for extensions, additions and betterments to the
extent of half their cost. With the authorization in hand
of this new issue of bonds, the board of trustees will be able,
when favorable opportunity offers, to arrange for retiring
the $3,000,000 6% notes and also a sufficient amount of the
bonds of July 1 1899 to make the new bonds readily marketable. It has been ascertained that a large part of the bonds
of 1899 would be exchanged for such new bonds on payment
of a cash bonus of not exceeding 10%. An official circular
dated Nov. 5 further says:
Growth of Business.-The business of the company from January to
October, inclusive, of this year compares with the same period in the two
preceding years as follows:

Considering the general depression
business during the present year,
this gain In earnings is remarkable.
Additions and Eztensions.-During the present year the long-distance
transmission line to the Big Bend country west and southwest of Spokane
has been completed and the company is now supplying power to Davenport, 45 miles west of Spokane, and as far as Lind, 103.5 miles southwest
of Spokane, and to the intermediate towns of Reardan, Ritzville, &c.
Additions have been made to the Post Falls plant of apparatus for 3,000
electric horse-power and to the Spokane hydraulic plant of motor-generator
apparatus for 5,350 electric-horse-power. The steam relay. plant Ott
Spokane has been completed and hal a total capacity of 19,000 dectric
horse-power. Considerable work has been don en the water-powet
development at Little Falls and also on placing the wires underground
within the lire limits in Spokane. The original live-year contracts with the
principal mines In the Coeur d'Alene mining district having expired this
summer, renewal contracts for Mother term of five years have been signed
on similar terms, but for Increased amounts of power. The company has
now built a duplicate power transmission line to the Coeur d'Alenes, and
thus, with Its reserve steam power plant, can give assurance of its ability
to give the best possible service to that important mining district.
It is expected that during the next three years an average sum of at least
$2,000,000 annually will be required to provide for necessary extensions.
After that period the requirements for new capital may possibly be less.
The principal items are: Completing the development of water power at
Little Falls, which will have a capacity of 30,000 electric horse-power;
commencing the development of the Upper Falls at Spokane; cost of water
storage in Lake Coeur d'Alene; placing wires underground in fire limits in
Spokane; extensions of lighting system in Spokane; extensions of longdistance power transmission lines; and on the street railways, additional
cars, street paving and re-laying tracks, bridges, possibly some extensions
of railway lines.
New Bond Issue.-In fixing the amount of the issue, the board has considered that the territory which the company serves is a rapidly growing
one and that in thirty years the business of the company is likely to have
a large development. In 1899, when the $2,000,000 issue was authorized,
the gross earnings were $397,155; for 1908 they are estimated at about
$2,460,889.
The restriction of the issue of bonds to half the cost of extensions is a
conservative one; the remainder of the cost of extensions would be supplied
from sales of stock and from surplus earnings.
If a satisfactory price can be obtained, an issue of $6,000,000 of the new
bonds may be made on July 1 1909 to be used as follows: (1) $2,000,000
either for r tiring the bonds of 1899, or to be held by the trustee against
such bonds of 1899 as are not exchanged; the bonus of 10% 'cash would
be paid lay the company out of earnings. (2) $4,000,000 to be sold and
he proozeds used to pay the $3,000,000 notes and the balance for extens ons. If this transacton Is arranged, the annual interest charge after
Joly 1 1909, 5% on $6,000,000, will be $300,009, and the current earnings
beyond operating expenses and taxes wIl be over four times that amount,
making the new bonds a safe investment.
prospects of the company are excellent. The maintenance

of dividends at the rate of 7% seems well assured. The earnings for 1008
will probably be over 11 % on the stock after making a full allowance for
depreciation. Stockholders also receive some addition to their dividends
from the premium on rights of new stock at par. On Jan. 2 1909 the capital stock will be about $6,000,000.

The property consists of two large store docks at Hunters' Point and
three floating docks at the foot of 16th Street. It is intended to operate

at Hunter's Point a pumping plant with a capacity of 150,000 gallon, per
minute. Extensive marine repair shops are to be In tailed at the Hunters'
Point site, about 10 acres. It is planned to erect at some time In the
near future a dock 1,050 ft. long and 34 ft. deep.
The principal stockholders lathe dry dock company are said to be D.O.
Mills, William Babcock, J. C. Coleman and Edward Coleman, Antoine

price to be paid I s reported to be "considerably more than " $100 per

A. 400th & Co., Chicago.-Reorganization Plan.-The
stoekholArs' protective committee, consisting of George R.
Nichols, Z. P. Brosseau, Charles T. Trego, Charles G. King
and Donald R. McLennan, sent to the shareholders on
Nov. 18 a circular saying:
Since our selection by you as a protective complittee of stockholders on
Oct. 1 1908 we have devoted a great deal of time to investigating the condition of your company and formulating for your approval a plan for the
reorganization of Its affairs.
Our unanimous conclusion Is that your company has sufficient assets
and earning power to justify a reorganization, if a reasonable settlement
can be reached with the company's creditors.
The plan which we propose contemplates the organization of a new
company with a capital stock of $6,054,400, consisting of 32,150 shares
of
preferred stock and 28,394 shares of common stock, and the purchase by
such company under judicial sale of all the assets of A. Booth & Co. free
from all claims of its creditors, exeept mortgage and other liens.
To accomplish this It is proposed to have the new company issue
its twenty-year 5% first mortgage bonds for such an amount at will permit
a fair and reasonable settlement of the claims of the creditors of A. Booth
& Co. and, if deemed advisable, to provide further working capital.
Each outstanding share of the preferred stock of your company will
be
exchangeable for a share of the preferred stock of the new company and
each share of the common stock will be exchangeable for a share of the
common stock of the new company.
It being however, essential to provide the new company with at least
$600,000 of cash capital, the plan contemplates that this shall be raised
by an assessment of $10 against each share of the preferred stock and $3 50
against each share of the common stock, and that the payment of this
assessment by each stockholder of the old company shall be a prerequisite
to the exchange of his stock for like stock in the new company.
To justify this assessment upon the common stock, the dividends upon
the preferred stock of the new company will be made non-cumulative,
instead of cumulatlye, as in your company, anti the present dividend rate
on the preferred stock (8% per annum) will be reduced to 7% per annum.
It is also proposed to retire 2,000 shares of the preferred stock held by
the Booth 'amity. In this way the preferred dividend requirement of the
new company will be $48,150 per year less than in the present company.
which Is equivalent to a yearly dividend of $1 73 per share upon the common stock of the new company.
The Booth family have also generously put at the disposal of your
committee a considerable amount of stock, and with this your comlnittee
has been able to induce a gentleman of excellent business capacity and
unquestioned integrity to become a stockholder, and to accept the presidency and management of the new company, if the plan of reorganization
is made effective, and a reasonable settlement with the creditors can be
secured. The creditors' committee approves the selection of the gentleman
above referred to.
Stockholders holding 16,783 shares of preferred stock and 9,968 shares
of common stock (whose assessments aggregate $303,416) have
already
signed this agreement.
If you wish to join in this plan please sign the inclosed agreement and
return the same to us, care of our attorney, Henry S. Robbins,
814 Home
Insurance Building, Chicago, by Dec. 1 1908.
No payments or deposits of stocks under this agreement will be requested
until your committee shall have reached with the creditors' committee a
basis for the settlement of your company's debts, which shall meet the
approval of your committee. We realize that this plan leaves It to the
judgment of your committee and the President of your company to decide
the terms of settlement with the company's creditors; but we have not
found any way to escape this. It would be unreasonable to ask the many
creditors to deal with your committee In the settlement of their indebtedness before the committee Is placed In a position to make good its promises
of reorganization.
Unless this plan of reorganization is generally accepted by the stockholders we see no way In which a forced sale of the assets to pay the creditors
can be avoided. Upon such a sale It seems certain that there would not
be enough realized to pay the creditors In full, and that your stock would
become worthless. (Current reports say that Frank C. Letts, now President of the National Grocery Co. has been selected as President of the
reorganized company. The Indebtedness is now said to aggregate $5,800.000. Compare V. 87, p. 676. The auditors who have been examining
the company's affairs have made a report, but nothing' authoritative regarding its contents is available for publication.-Ed.1-V. 87, p. 1302,741.
Champion Coated Paper Co.-New Stock.-The shareholders will vote Dec. 15 on increasing the common stock
from $1,040,000 to $1,500,000. Shareholders will have the
right to subscribe for the new stock.-V. 86, p. 171.

Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co.—Plan Declared Operative.—The readjustment committee yesterday
declared operative the modified or substitute plan for the
readjustment of the Westinghouse Co., which plan is based
upon the so-called "merchandise creditors' plan." Compare
plan, V. 86, P. 922; V. 87, p. 101, 875.
The consummation of the plan will require approximately
$14,200,000 of new assenting stock, to be issued to holders
of the merchandise debt and bank debt and to stockholders
who have subscribed for new stock in cash. Of the present
Mithorized assenting stock, $12,500,000 is reserved against
the convertible gold bonds and'$23,940,000 is issued, leaving
only $9,560,000 unissued. It is therefore necessary to increase the authorized capital, and at a special meeting of
stockholders, which is now set for Nov.24 1908,it isproposed
to authorize $10,000,000 of additional stock, the increased
stock to have all the rights and privileges of the present
absenting stock. The arrangements finally approved also
involve the election of a board of sixteen directors, which is
to be divided into four classes of four members each,the term
of one class expiring each year. It is also proposed, in compliance with the plan, to constitute a proxy committee, to
remain in existence for five years. It is hoped to have the
receivership ended at an early day.—V. 87, p. 1241, 1163.

the first opportunity to make selections from the new issue
at the circular prices. There are no other terms of

INVESTMENTS.
Of the First Consolidated Bonds held in the Treasury June
30 1907, there were deposited $75,000 with the Farmers'
Loan & Trust Company as additional security for the lea§e
of the Georgia Railroad.
The 2,00Q shares of stock of the Atlanta Belt Line owned
by this Company were sold at par to the Atlanta & West
Point Railroad Company in accordance with the terms under
which it had leased said Belt Line.
TRAFFIC.
Your Company, in common with all the railroads in the
country, experienced a heavy decrease in earnings during
the last seven months of the fiscal year on account of the
business depression then existing.
Gross operating revenues for the first five months of the
year increased $712,083 81 over the same months of the
previous year, while for the last seven months they decreased
$1,454,559 95 as compared with the same months of the
previous year, resulting in a net decrease in operating revenges for the year of $742,476 14, or 2.77 per cent.
The effect of the business depression was particularly felt
in our freight traffic, revenue from which showed a decrease
for the year of $704,523 16, or 3.82 per cent.
Passenger traffic shows a gross increase of $195,592 58, or
3.21 per cent. This is attributable to the travel to the
Jamestown Exposition, held in Norfolk, "Va., which was in
progress during the first five months of the fiscal year, and
to an increase in through passenger traffic. Local or intraState passenger traffic revenue showed a decrease, due to•
the decreased rates in the various States in which we operate,
to which reference was made in report for previous year.

OPERATING EXPENSES.
Although our Operating Revenues, as hereinbefore stated,
began to show a decrease commencing with the month of
December 1907, it was not until January 1908 that we were
able to show a decrease in Operating Expenses.
From the first of February officers and employees receiving three thousand dollars or more per annum submitted willingly to a reduction in their salaries of about
ten per cent.
For the first six months of the fiscal year Operating Expenses showed an increase of $888,928 85, by comparison
with the same months of the previous year, while for the
last six months of the year Operating Expenses showed a
decrease of $1,504,564 07, resulting in a net decrease for
the year of 8615,635 22, or 3.14 per cent.
By reference to the details of our Operating Expenses,.
appearing elsewhere in this report, it will be noted that the.
entire decrease is in the sub-divisions of Operating Expenses
other than maintenance. Our maintenance expenses (Way
and Structures, and Equipment) show an increase for the
year of $58,449 63 by comparison with the previous year.
Notwithstanding the business depression and the resulting loss of revenue and lack of demand for cars, our rolling
stock has been well maintained, the number of freight cars
needing repairs being 21 per cent less in number in October.
1908 than October 1907, when there was a heavy demand
for equipment.
THE CHRONICLE
Nov. 21 1908.1
During the year we put in our main lines an average of 473
ties per mile, as compared with 400 ties per mile in the previous year, an increase of 73 ties per mile, or 18.25 per cent.
INDUSTRIAL.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions existing during a part of the fiscal year, through the efforts of our Agricultural and Immigration Department, 667 settlers were
located on our lines in the different States, and engaged in
agricultural pursuits. The figures given cover heads of
families only.
In addition, a large number of settlers were located on our
lines by private organizations, real estate agents, etc. all of
whom have the co-operation of our Agricultural and'
Immigration Department.
One hundred and fifty-four industries, consisting of factories, mills, Stc., were located on our lines during the fiscal
year.
TRUST EQUIPMENT.
Previous to January 1 1908 deliveries were completed of
all the equipment covered by Equipment Trust Indenture
dated March 11907.
DOUBLE TRACK.
At the close of the year there were 86.31 miles of double
track in operation.
RAIL RELAYING AND INCREASE IN SIDE TRACKS
AND YARD TRACKS.
There were laid during the fiscal year 5.92 miles of additional industrial tracks and 99.225 miles of side and, yaed
tracks, a total of 105.145 miles.
There were relaid the following: 157.32 miles with 85-1b.
rail; 17.13 with 75-1b.; 120.76 with 70-1b.; 3.63 with 65-lb.;
36.61 with 604b.; 4.84 with 56-lb.; 48.44 with 50-1b.;
making a total of 388.73 miles, or 9.04 per cent of our entire
main line and branch mileage.
PASSENGER RATES.
By agreement with the Railroad Commissions of most of
the States which we serve, as an experiment there went into
effect on April 1 1908 reduced passenger rates, including
two cents per mile interchangeable mileage tickets.
The experinient is proving it very costly one, as shown by
the following figures. The large increase of through travel
which we handled during the winter to and from Southern
resorts came to an end with the month of April.
1363
Our passenger revenues, both through and local, from
April 1 to October 11908, have been as follows:

From this statement it will be seen that,in the five months
following April, the last month of the heavy through travel,
passenger revenues fell off $457,891, equal to 17.8 per cent.
Of this $164,000, or 6.4 per cent, is to be attributed to the
Jamestown Exposition held last year at Norfolk. Of the
balance, an average of $50,000 per month is due to the
decreased passenger rates.
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ADDITIONS.
On July 1 1907 there remained unexpended appropriations
for authorized work $6,168,792 06. During the year additional expenditures were authorized to the amount of $686,085 98, making aggregate of $6,854,878 04.
The following amounts were expended during the year:

in this, has been indefinitely postponed, so that there remained authorized expenditures on June 30 1908 cf about
$482,319 03.
Over $2,000,000 of additional First Consolidated Bonds
will be available for delivery to our treasury as soon as the
above new construction and additions now approaching

FIRST ANNUAL REPORT—FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30 1908.
dred years, with "an enormous reserve tonnage in the remaining 477,000 acres of the tract."
From the accompanying map, which is taken verbatim
from the map of the "Coal Fields of the United States,"
published by the United States Geological Survey in May
1908, under the direction of Mr. Marius R. Campbell, it will
be seen that the Government authorities estimate that the
Raton field, controlled almost in its entirety by your Company, contains more than 30 billion short tons of coal. It
should be borne in mind that this estimate is from a geological
rather than a coal mining standpoint. The mining experts
just referred to place the coal available for actual mining
purposes at considerably less than this estimate.
The Government coal map is also instructive as indicating
that south of the "divide," or mountain range which lies
along the boundary between Colorado and New Mexico, the
nearest available coking coal to the Southwestern territory
is that owned by your Company.
In the course of an address before the National Geographic
Society on Jan. 22 1907, Mr. Campbell said: "Good coking.
coal is scarce in the Western fields. The principal source of
supply is the Raton or Trinidad field, in southern Colorado
/and northern New Mexico. Seventy per cent of the coke
produced in the Western fields comes from this region. Certain peculiarities of coals within the bituminous class have
led to distinctions which are of great importance; thus, the
property of coking, which is limited entirely to the bituminous class, has given to coals possessing this peculiarity a
value far above those coals having similar composition, but
which do not possess this characteristic. The reason why
one coal will coke and another will not is not understood;
COAL PROPERTY-LOCATION AND EXTENT.
The St. Louis Rocky Mountain & Pacific Company is apparently it does not depend upon chemical composition,
operating in a well tested coal territory—one which has long but rather upon some physical property which no one has
been of great interest to individual mining geologists and been able to define. A practical test is the only way by
several United States geological surveys, and which has which the coking properties of a coal are determined."
In view of the scarcity of good coking coal in the West,
yielded coal in considerable volume for many years.
By reference to the accompanying map (see pamphlet re- where the consumption of coke for smelting purposes is
port), it will be seen that this coal area which is generally rapidly growing, the value of your Company's coal deposits
referred to as the Raton Coal Field, and which formed part for the development of the Far West, the Pacific Coast,the
of what was known as the Maxwell Land Grant, is located Southwest and Mexico, can hardly be over-estimated. The

Report of the President.
St. Louis, Mo., October 17 1908.
In submitting the first formal report of the St. Louis
Rocky Mountain & Pacific Company, it is deemed desirable
to include therein a brief reference to the history of its organization and a short description of its properties, in order
that such data may be permanently recorded for reference purposes. An additional reason for some detail at this time
lies in the fact that it is recognized that the public is entitled
to the fullest knowledge concerning an organization of such
recent origin, and one which is certain to be intimately associated with and to play an important part in the industrial
development of the great Southwest.
Before proceeding to details, permit me to state that your
company owns in northern New Mexico:
1. All the coal in an area of more than 800'square miles.
This is an area one and one-half times the size of the anthracite
coal district of Pennsylvania, and about five times the size
of the Connellsville Basin. Competent mining geologists
estimate that the 42,800 acres of this tract thus far prospected and proven by drilling contain at least 350,000,000
tons of high-grade bituminous coal of excellent steam and
coke producing quality. It is the largest body of coal lancl
under one ownership in the United States.
2. The St. Louis Rocky Mountain & Pacific Railway. This
is a railroad of standard gauge and modern equipment, operating 106 miles of main line and branches, with 14 miles of
sidings, and connecting the Company's coal lands directly
with three great railroad systems.

THE CHRONICLE
interests, though, on the other hand, they have not declined
inneh. Harvesting is under way in Argentina. In some
cases estimates of the exportable surplus of that country
have been increased to 112,000,000 bushels. Speculation
has been less confident on the bull side, owing largely to
three things: first, the breaking of the drought in Argentina;
second, the lack of any considerable export demand; and
third, the largeness of the receipts at the West. On the
other hand, however, the drought in the Southwest, it is insisted, will lead to a large decrease in the acreage. It is also
worthy of remark that some of the estimates of the exportable surplus of Argentina, so far from being 112,000,000
bushels, as some say, or even 104,000,000, as others put it,
are only 83,000,000 to 93,000,000 bushels. That would
make a sharp contrast with the total during the present
season of approximately 135,000,000 bushels. Even if it is
cut down to 112,000,000 'bushels, the decrease might, conceivably, prove to be a very important factor in the making
of prices, at least for a time. If the total is to be almost
cut in half, as an estimate of 83,000,000 bushels would suggest, then, it is argued, not without reason, that the effect
would prObably be still more marked. And the world's
stocks, it is worth while to notice, decreased for the week
sorne 675,000 bushels in contrast with a considerable increase for the corresponding period last year. Some reports,
too, insist that a further reduction of approximately 22,000,000 bushels will have to be made in the estimate on this
year's yield of Argentina. To-day prices were firmer in the
main owing to reports of a brisk cash demand at the Northwest;bullish Argentine reports; better cables-than expected,
dry weather in the Southwest and general buying.

manifested more disposition to sell at times in certain sections, but the attitude of most of the country has been to
sell only sparingly. Therefore the receipts have continued
on a disappointingly small scale and the cash market has
ruled firm. Unfavorable husking reports have been •received
of late and strong Chicago interests have given the market
support at times. Leading cash interests at the West' are
believed to be friendly to the long side and to have accumulated considerable holdings of December. Other cash interests have sold. To-day prices were firmer on bullish husking
reports, strong cables, a firm and active cash market at the
West, buying by cash interests, light country offerings and
covering of shorts.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
New York, Friday Night, Nov. 20 1908.
In practically all divisions of the market there has been
steady and substantial improvement during the past week.
The stronger tone which developed after the election
has
been well'maintained, with a still firmer tendency in some
lines, and while conditions are becoming more settled, and
there is less tension in the market as a whole, the demand
for goods his -continued large and trade has broadened perceptibly. As for some time past, cotton goods have been
relatively more active than other lines, and there has been
somewhat freer purchasing of the former, both for near-by
and future requirements. It is noteworthy, however, that
in some quarters buyers of cotton goods are now disposed
to
operate a little more conservatively, not thatthey doubt the
permanency of the higher values already established, or
that they have revised their views as to probable requirements, but because they are coming to realize that their own
activity may serve to force prices higher; on the other hand,
considerable businessis being tendered,especially on bleached
cottons, in anticipation of still further advances, and leading
jobbers have been covering spring requirements on a somewhat larger scale. In the men's wear trade, agents handling
lines of worsteds are much encouraged by the duplicates that
are being received on spring lines; and they report an improved outlook for the fall season; the demand for spot goods
has, apparently, not been checked by recent advances.
There has been some betterment in dress goods, but this
division of the market has responded slowly to the improved
conditions noted in other directions, and business has been
unevenly distributed. Trade in spring silks is active, with
the prospect, according to agents, for a full season's business on both fancy and staple lines.
DOMESTIC COTTON GOODS.-The exports of cotton
goods from this port for the week ending Nov. 14 were 10,493
packages, valued at $528,309, their destination being to the
