from
3 to 5 per cent.
These changes have led to animated discussions, and it has
naturally been asked if 5 per cent will be adequate, or if 6 per
cent will be necessary in order to check the outflow of gold. It
is quite obvious that with so small a supply of that commodity,
and with so diminished a reserve, prompt measures had become
necessary, and the advance in the Bank rate of discount from
3 to 5 per cent in so short a period indicates, in a very strong
manner, that the Bank authorities have exercised their power

that an easier as well as less expensive process is attained, by
which a new b?ginning can be made and a sounder condition
of things brought about. The very fact, however, that compromises, numerous, and in several instances important, have
been effected, argues that it would be injudicious to extend
credit too rapidly, as another period of difficulty would soon
be the result. This is not likely to be the case. The existing
crisis, or whatever it may be termed, has already been a long
and distressing one. It is a very common belief that rapid
means of communication, such as exist at the i^resent time,
have averted serious difficulties but although those means of
communication have, in that sense, been most advantageous,
they have kept f resli business largely in check. Instead of

Tenders were received at the Bank of England on Tuesday
for £1,635,000 Treasury Bills, the
whole of which was
allotted
months' bills. Tenders at .£99 6d. will receive about 51
per cent, and above in full. The average rate was £3 lis. Ip^d,
per cent.
Tenders for the Melbourne Tramways 4}£ per cent loan for
£500,000 were opened at the Commercial Bank of Australia on
Thursday. They amounted to £310,000, at prices ranging from
£100 to £103 10s. The balance was afterwards taken at the
in three
price.
The Board of Trade returns for October and the 10 months
ended October 31 were issued yesterday. Tliey are not of an
encouraging ch.aracter. The imports exhibit a considerable
diminution, owing to the comparativoly restricted importations
of wheat and other cereals, and there is also a falling off in the
exports of about three quarters of a million sterling. There is
a large decrease in the exports of Colonial and foreign wool to
France, but a decided increase in those to Holland and Germany, The following are the totals

home-grown and foreign wheat, althougli
have been more than adequate to our requirements,
and the trade has in consequence remained dull, with a downward tendency in quotations. The quantity of wheat and
flour afloat to the United Kingdom, not including Baltic supplies, is reduced to 1,720,000 quarters, being about 100,000
quarters less than at this period last year. The increasing
visible supply in the United St ites (it being telegraphed thi^
morning as being 34,300,000 bushels) is undoubtedly exercising
considerable influence in depressing the trade. During the last
few days a moderate quantity of rain has fallen tliroughout
the country, and substantial benefits are likely to be derived,
as we have had an unusually protracted period of dry weather.
There is very little Indian corn on offer, and piices are in consequence maintained, but tlie quotation is still a very moderate

containing the general remarksof the President
; the pamphlet
report with statistics of operations, finances, &c., is delayed
for many months and does not usually appear till the next
spring.
The Baltimore
Ohio is one of the close corporations, managed with secrecy as to its affairs, and during tlie year no
monthly or quarterly returns of gross or net earnings are
made, such as the public now obtains by voluntary reports
from the Pennsylvania, Erie, and Grand Trunk of Canada, and
by the compulsory quarterly returns from the New York Central, Lake Sliore, and other railroads oijerated partly or wholly
&
within New York State.
At the annual meeting in Baltimore the following directors
were unanimously re-elected to serve for the ensuing year,
the only change being that of Mr. T. Harrison Garrett in place
of his brother, Mr. Robert Garrett, the President pro tem.
William F. Burns, John Spear Nicholas, John Gregg, William
W. Taylor, James Carey Coale, G. A. "Von Lingen, Decatur H.
Miller, Joshua G. Harvey, George W. Dobbin, Henry C. Smith,
Aubrey Pearre, T. Harrison Gan-ett. The total vote polled
was
91,748 shares.
Mr. Robert Garrett, the new President, submitted his
annual report, from which it appears that the gross earnings of
the whole system in 1883-84 were $19,436,607, against
$19,739,837 in 1882-83, and the net earnings were |7,760,300,
against $8,705,823 the previous year, thus showing a decrease
in gross of ^303,330 but a decrease in net of $945,533 as a
result of the decreased business and demoralized freight rates
of the past year.
Semi-annual cash dividends of five per cent upon the capital
stock were paid on the 1st of November, 1883, and on the 17th
of May, 1884. The profit and loss account shows an increase
for the past fiscal year of $1,940,316, after all fixed charges,
rentals, &c., and the nominal surplus which represents invested
capital derived from net earnings, and which is not represented
by either stock or bonds, now amounts to $47,703,796.
On this Mr. Garrett remarks " The exceptional and highly
conservative system of the Baltimore & Ohio Company, without precedent in America or Europe, by which more than
forty-seven millions of dollars of net earnings, unrepresented
by stock or bonds, have been invested, during a long series of
years, in valuable improvements and extensions, in connecting
lines, in the great iron bridges over the Ohio River, in elevators,
wharves, piers, docks, terminal facilities, real estate, stations,
locomotives, cars, etc., readily enables the company to continue the payment of semi-annual dividends of five per cent
each on
sum
its capital stock,
which amounts to only $14,783,900, a
marked contrast to that of all
so limited as to present a
competing trunk
lines."
The following statement shows the payments made and the
increments in sinking funds during the fiscal year for account

NEW LINE BETWEEN BALTIMOKE AND PHILADELPHIA.
The Baltiinoro & Ohio Railroad Company, under resolutions
adopted unanimously by the stockholders, is building the
Philadelphia Branch, from a point of connection with its main
stem to the northern boundary line of Cecil County, in the
State of Maryland, where it connects with the road which the
Baltimore & Philadelphia Railroad Company is constructing
through Delaware by way of Wilmington and into the city of
Philadelphia. Work has progressed rapidly during the year,
and unless the severity of winter prevents the entire road
between Baltimore & Philadelphia will be in operation about
July of the coming year.
PITTSBURG JUNCTION, PITTSBUKO & WESTERN, AND PITTSBCEQ
CLEVELAND & TOLEDO RAILROADS.
" Daring the year the Pittsburgh Junction Road, which is controlled
by this company and its allied interests, and which connects at Piitsburgwiih the Pittsburg Division, has been completed through that
city by tunnel nnd elevated road, and thence by a line iron bridge over
the Alleghany River to a,iunci ion with the Pittsburg & Western Koad.
It ha^ been built in the moft permanent and suSstahtial manner, with
double truck throughout. The extension of its brandies is being rapidly
prosecuted to tlie numerous and extensive manufactories along the
Allegheny River front in Pittsburg, and, when tiuished. will make the
position of the Baltimore & Ohio Company in that city superior to that
of any other railroad.
••
The Pittaburg & Western Railroad Company has leased the Pittsburg Cleveland & Toledo Railroad. Satisfactory relations have been
established between this company and those interests, enabling It to
form a most favorable route to Akron, Ohio, to the lakes at Cleveland,
and to the great manufacturing districts of the Mahoning and 8henango valleys. It is als), by llfty-ono miles, the short line between the
great lakes at Cleveland and ihe National Capital at Washington. In
addition to the large local business originating on these hneJi, in which
this company will participate, this route opens up to these regions, to
thtf Pittsburg Division, to the entire system of this company, and to
the manufacturing and other industries connected therewith, new and
additional markets and sources of revenue for their rich and raliuble
mineral and other products."
BALTIMORE & OHIO TELEGRAPH.
company has been engaged for many years In contests with the
Western Union Telegraph Company to regain and hold iKwcssion of its
t^cgrapli property, and it is gratifying to announce that the equities of
its position have beeu thorouglily viudlcated on all occasions when the
questions have Ueeu submitted to the courts. The telegraph system of
the company is, therefore, now entirely under its own control. The
jwlicy laid down by the late president In his addtess to the board in
June. liS^, in which he anuoun.el that the B.iltlmoro & Ohio Com" This
pany 'had deliber.;tely determined to main tain the absolute independence
of its telegraph system,' and that It intended to effoot -auch connections
as would enablj it to maintain tlrmly and successfully its iudependenee
as a great competing organization,' and thai in furtherance of that
ptdicy It wnuid 'oontiuue to enlarge ifes capacity to meet all requirements, 'h.is since bei-n tontinuously ai tid upon until tho Ualllmore & Ohio
Telegraph system now represents t'.-^se miles of poles and 47,417 milea
of wit e, in the acquisition of which there has been expended, during the
Uscal year, *2,01^,0i>'". Tlio company now has a ttflegruph system
twice as large as that cf the Atlantic & Pncltlc, which was eoid In IfeSl
for $8,500,000 In ttock of the We.' tern Union Company, and one and
one-<iuarter times as large as that of the .\meiican Union, which
was sold for $15,OO0,U0j also in the same stock, and by Ih3 cloae
of the year it will have amileage nearly as great as both of those companies combined, whilst the lo<atioii and character of Its Hues rmder
tlicm far more valuable. Prceldeut Hates, of the Baltimore & Ohio
Telegraph Company, who has recently inspected the property, states In
h'S leport that tho lines arc thoroughly aud strongly built that the
olliccfi ale well located, aud that the stuff i< active and elHcient.
The
expenditures for ttie past 3'ear have been made at a time when material
was obtained at a reduction of at least 15 per cent below the
lowest prio s at which any lines were ever constructed in this
country. Tho system exceeds lu capacity that of any other com;

Central of Xew Jersey— Philadelphia & lleatlingr.—
An application to the courts to compel the Reading
rectivers .to pay the dividend due on Jersey Central stock
on December 1 was made November 20, ' but the court
refused to take any action, on the ground that no decision hasyet been made in the Dinsmore suit involving the legality of
the lease. Tlie petition in the application claims that Reading
has spent $3,049,000 in improvements on Jersey Central. .$600,OUO of which has been paid back in Jersey Central bonds, and
that $1,449,000 is now due. The receivers have said they had
no money to pay the dividend. The petition asks that they
raise
it
plan to
by jiledging assets and
securities.
It
announces a
Jersey stockholders to take a smaller dividend
for some years. Reading has 60 days after default before
Jersey Central can annul the lease and its provisions.
President George de B. Keim, of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company, Franklin B. Gowen and E. C. Knight
came from Philadelphia to attend the directors' meeting of the
Central Railroad of New-Jersey. Tliey brought a statement
of moneys expended by the Reading Company in permanent
bettenuents of the leased line, for the re-payment of which
they asked for an issue of stock or bonds according to tlie
terms of the lease. The matter was referred to a committee
consisting of Pre-ident Henry S. Little, John Kean and ExChancellor Williamson.
President Little said after the meeting " I have not looked
over the claim for improvements made by tlie Reading Company, and cannot say, therefore, what it anicuuts to. The
statement was not even read, but without debate was referred
to a committee, which will have to see whether the claim is a
valid one.
If stock or bonds should be issued for any part of
it, the rental would be increased by the interest on tlieamount.
The Reading has paid some $600,000 on the ]5rincipal of the
car trusts and has built or improved some stations on the line
and has built an iron bridge or two. It was provided in the
lease that it should receive some equivalent for any permanent
improvements on the road.

of the directors of the Boston
Maine and Eastern roads
wer3 held, and the terms of a new lease of the latter road
were agreed to. Special meetings of the stockholders of the
respective companies will be held on Dec. 2 to ratify and approve the terms of the new agreement. The Jotirhal says
" The new lease attempts to avoid the snag which the old one
ran against in the courts, and is considered very favorable for
the Eastern stockholders. In fact it is reported that tliere is
considerable opposition to the new lease among the directors
of the Maine Road, while the Eastern directors appear to be
well satisfied with its terms. In view of the opijosition that
any proposition to lease the Eastern to the Boston
Maine
will meet with, both here and in Maine, the question of a successful accomplishment of the lease is a doubtful one."

GENERAL INVESTMENT NEWS.
Boston & Providence.
(For the year ending Sept. 30, 1884.)
The annual report says " While there has been an increase
of gross receipts, it will be noticed that the miles run b}' the
more frequent trains have also greatly increased, and the cost
of carrying more passengers at low rates of fare has kept pace
with the returns. Fifty freight and thirteen passenger cars,
six locomotives, with one-tenth ownership in four Wagner
and six passenger cars for tlie New York line, have been
acquired and charged to expense. There has also been charged
to expense $13,103 on account of the Omega bridge over Teninile rirer in East Providence, and $10,368 on account of the
bridge over Mother brook in Dedham on the West Eoxbury
branch."
" On the 31st of January last, a special meeting of the stockholders was held, after due advertisement, when authority
was given to tlie directors to issue notes or bonds to an amount
not exceeding $600,000. This authority, however, has not as
yet been availed of, as the details for the construction of terminals in the city of Providence have not yet been fully com-

New Haven & Derby.—At the recent annual meeting of
New Haven, Edward N. Shelton, of Birming-
this railroad at
ham, explained the proposed connection of the Derby witli
New England at Sandy Ho k. The line, he said, lay in
the Housatonic Valley, and wonld require only fourteen or
fifteen miles of construction, which was but a little furtlier
than if a direct line were put through to Danbury. The connection with the West would give greater facilities not only
thii
to the City of New Haven, but to all intermedi.ite points
along the line. Coal could be brought to New Haven much
cheai^er than by the present method. Mayor Lewis also indorsed the plan. By a un:xnimous vote, the President, Secretary and Treasurer were appointed to negotiate with the City
of New Haven for a settlement of financial relations.
—
N. Y. Lake Erie & Western. A report has been current
that the managers of the fast freight lines of the Erie Railroad
were to be disjiensed with. The plan of the new management
is to first consolidate the lines where more than one is running
over the same route, and eventually to abandon them altogether. This is a part of the general plan of retrenchment.
The officers of the Erie, as a rule, says the Tnne.i, are getting
the highest salaiies in the country. Hugh J. Jewett received
$40,000 a year as President. John King, the new President,
declined to take more than $25,000, which is fixed as liis salary.
Not only are salaries to be reduced where excessive in th.'
judgment of the management, but superfluous officers are 1
he disi)ensed with, and the forces generally, where they will
l)ear it, cut down.
Who can say that Mr. King is not on the
right track, and for Erie an essentially new track ?
Oliio Central.— The Canda Committee of the Ohio Central
Railroad Company have issued a circular to stock and bond
holders in which they say that " by a statement received from
the receiver of the Ohio Central Railroad the committee is
Informed that the gross earnings of the main line from sll
sources, including the terminal property at Toledo and the
rolling-stock beloaging to the car trusts, for the vear ending
Sept. 30, 1884, were §l,008,i;00; the operating expenses wer.;
$704,.536; t le amounts paid for taxes, rentals and tietterments
were ^TO.oiiO: the resulting net earnings were S^C?.")!.'!.'"
As the two C'ltnmitlees on the ri -organization of this company do not agree in their terms, it is des^irable that some
compromise arrangement should be made which will bring all
interesis into
harmony.
Pittsburg McKeesport & Yonghiogheny.— At Pittsburg,
Nov. 18, the lease of this railro.ad to the Pittsburtj & Lake
Erie Company was filed in the Recorder's office. The lease is
for 990 years.
The building of the ro.ad was promoted by the
Lake Erie and Lake Shore companies, under an agreement to
which William H. Vanderbilt was a party, he iiaving agi-eed
to advance the $4,500,000 necessary to build the road, to be
paid in stocks and bonds guaranteed by the Lake Erie and
creased, until they now amount to about $50,000 jier
more than they did in 1878."
Rochester
& Pittsburg.— Mr. W.alston H. Brown,
&
annum
President
of the Rochester
Pittsburg Railroad Company, has issued a
circular to the stockholders asking them to come forward and
subscribe for their proportionate share of the stock of the new
company, under the recently adopted jJan of re-organization.
The amount of new stock offered for subscription is §.5,000,000
of preferred and $5,000,000 of common. This is offered in
blocks consisting of one share of preferred and one share of
common stock, for $60 a block. Mr. Brown makes the following explanation: "A pfrson who holds 100 shares of stock in
the present company will receive 35 shares of the new common
stock without assessment. Then he will be entitled to subscribe for 35 blocks, each block comprising one share of new
preferred and one share of new common stock. This will give
liim 50 shares of common stock out of $10,000,000, which represents the same interest in the property as 100 shares did out
of a capital of $'^0,000,000. Besides this he will be the owner
of 25 shares of preferred stock, costing him CO per cent." The
amount already subscribed to the new stock, it is stated,
exceeds three-fifths of the amount reqtiired to carry the plan
into effect.

Sixth AreiHie Railroad. A dispatch from Albany, Nov.
said: The Railroad Commissioners refuse to allow the
20,
Sixth Avenue Elevated Railroad to enlarge its capital stock
from .'^750,000 to $1,500,000, and declare the company's estimates for construction too high.
They also condemn the
issue of $750,000 scrip by the comp my as unauthorized and
an usurpation.
The case is important on account of the
bearings upon the law, which allows the Legislature to reduce
the fares on railroads whenever their profits shall exceed 10
per cent of the cost of construction and improvements.
—
Storm King Bridge. The proposed bridge over the Hudson
River at or neixx Fishkill seems to be an enterprise of much
importance to the Erie Railway, the Pennsylvania, the New
Y'ork & New England and the West Shore. The following
newspaper item purports to give the latest news of its progress:
" It has been decided to begin work on tlie bridge over the
Hudson at Stonn King early in March, and it is estimated that
about a year and a half will be occupied in its construction.
The cost will be not far from $5,000,000, a good ])art of wliich
has been pledged at the East."

tendency; but the buoyant feeling that has at times been
exhibited on our Cotton Exchange was caused m.ainly by the
reduced estimates of the out-turn of the current crop of cotton and the revival of speculative confidence arising therefrom. On Saturday last an early advance was more than lost
at the close, but on Monday there was a very buoyant market,
an advance of 15@ 10 points having been made. An early
advance on Tuesday was followed by a decline, and the close
was lower, except for early deliveries. Wednesday opened
buoyant, but fully one half the early improvement was lost,
and tlio close was weak. Yesterday speculation was dull and
values drooping, but toward the close there was a sharp
upward turn on a demand to cover contracts, the market
having evidently been oversold. To-day the tone was dull
and weak, under a check to speculative buying, but as compared with last Friday the close is 18 (a 37 points dearer.
Cotton on the spot advanced 1-lOc. on Tuesclay and i^c. on

The amendment relative to the intention to transfer memberships has also been carried, the ayes numbering 73 and the

The clnnge
in rule 7, relative to transferable notices of
delivery, was made by simply amending the rule, and as such
it did not require the assent of the members of the Exchange,
but took effect at once. The new terms have caused much
dissatisfaction, and a petition for reconsideration has been
numerously signed and laid before the Board of Managers.
It is understood that a motion to reconsider was lost; but the

discussing the matter, has named Saturday, November 23, for

Indian Corn has also declined. Speculation has continued
impeded by high ocean freights, and arrivals
via canal quite full. The pressure to sell was naturally attended
by some decline, although it led to rather more activity in the
regular dealings. There is still very little yellow or whitecorn offered but these grades are not much wanted, and do
not bring much more than mixed. To-day there was further
depression and a very unsettled feeling.
