THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. A highly significant change for the better is dis closed by the latest foreign trade statement that for October, issued this week. The agency which has of — done most to derange industrial surroundings has been the prohibition put upon the export of manufactured commodities and the stimulus imparted to their import by high prices; thereby our large favorable trade balance has been gradually lessening until it is assumed now to be wholly used up and an export of gold needed to meet current trade requirements. Under these circumstances any suggestion Govern- late ment returns afford of a reversal in these conditions becomes of course a source of hopefulness. This is chiefly so because contained in the thought is a chance that a way is in process of being opened for paying what we owe abroad without sending so much gold as has been the prospect recently. Of course it has' all along been felt that our abundant crops afforded ground for a belief that the; would help us to work through the strain. That expectation has not been given up, and yet the material decline in the favorableness of the foreign trade fig- months has been in that way a little discouraging. We have been wont to charge the decrease in exports to the small remnant left for export of our very small crops of corn and oats last year. That explains the situation only in part. For instance, the totals of merchandise exports for July and August of the current fiscal year were only $183,732,ures for some same month the previous year that the last total, the one for October, the largest merchandise outany month of any year in our record except October 1900, when it was $163,389,680, and December 1900, when it was $145,889,865, and October 1901, when it was $145,659,415. The chief interesting fact, however, with reference to this year's report for October remains still to be stated. It has already been noted that last year's total October exports were about 2£ million dollars larger than this year's total, and that the 1900 October total was 20 i million dollars larger. Notwithstanding that circumstance, the general merchandise exports (that is, the exports over and above the total of the articles grouped by the Statistical Bureaujunder the head of Exports of Breadstuffs, Provisions, Cotton, Petroleum, &c.) in October 1902 exceeded the month a year ago by $3,682,484, and were very nearly the same as they were in 1900. That is to say, the outflow of general merchandise this year is as large as it was two years ago and larger than it was a year ago; consequently, if, when the larger crop movement gets fully under way, this feature of increase in the general merchandise movement is continued, we may assume that our exports will exceed any former total. This is significant as being flow in conclusion inevitable unless general exports fall off; is that the we have presented would indicate progress is now the other way, and the infer- ence that whereas the facts is it will so continue. gree of hopefulness We is A considerable de- warranted by that fact. column that "general industrial progress appears to move on wholly undisturbed by the happenings on Wall Street." There is stated last week apparently no reason in this why there should be any present change in the course of commercial affairs. At the same time is it not a reasonable presumption that a more or less general though slow decline in the values of commodities will be a feature during the coming year. That to a small extent might be expected to follow from the influences which have affected 937, against #217,476,719 in 1901; as the imports in Stock Exchange quotations. Of course rates for money those months of 1902 reached $168,071,155, against and a lack of buoyancy here, if continued as now, will $146,209,652 the same months in 1901, the favorable in time affect money and buoyancy all over the country. balance was o&ly $25,667,782 this year against $71,- There are though other reasons for declines in the 267,067 in 1901. These adverse changes are only to prices of commodities. Our own large crops of breada moderate extent due to breadstuffs shortage, but to stuffs give promise of cheaper food and they ought to a considerable extent to smaller exports of other com and already are affecting, not only the affect, modities and also to the high prices for goods, which grain and bread markets, but the provision marstimulated imports. kets as well and as the new year advances and our But what we referred to above as affording new corn begins to move freely, that supply and the better hope was the returns for September and October the yield of grain in Europe would seem likely to result latest figures issued by the Bureau of Statistics. in further price reductions.

The cotton crop port total for September, which raises that month's too Is believed to be considerably In excess of last exports about six million dollars. With that revision year's yield, and though consumption abroad as well it seems that the merchandise exports for those two as at home is increasing, the prospect is that the quotatwo months have aggregated $264,400,130, against tion for that raw material will average less than in the radical ; — November past year.

The increase in the semi-annual dividend on the common & Western Railway Company from 1 per cent to 1£ per cent;, is what might have been expected. The company has been enjoying notable prosperity. The road is under the domination of the Pennsylvania Railroad and is a large carrier of coal and other minerals industries which have been especially active. In reviewing the company's annual report in our issue of September 6 1902, we showed how striking had been the expansion in the company's revenues during the last few years and also the conservative policy being pursued in the management of tbe property, which has led those in control to appropriate extraordinarily large sums out of earnings to Improve the efficiency of the road and raise its physical standard.

THE CHRONICLE. 1116 Mr. John Stanton issued the usual monthly figures on Friday of last week and they showed that the output for October ran above that for September and was close to the largest figure ever reached in any single month, the amount being put at 26,252 tons, which compares with 24,098 tons In 1901 and 23,345 tons in 1900. On the other hand, the exports of copper are only of moderate proportions, though much larger, of course, than in this month last year, when the movement was unusually small by reason of the artificially high price then maintained for the metal. In other words, the shipments in October this far disappointed. year amounted to 12,515 tons as against 8,016 tons in October 1901 and 12,682 tons in October 1900.

Three very notable incidents of the past few days have been the attempted boycott of the Schenectady street car lines by a trades union of that city, the continued attack by other unions on workingmen identified with the National Guard and the examination of Mr. John Mitchell before the Strike Commission in the matter of the coal-strikers' attitude towards non-union men. We have grouped these three incidents under the general head, " Unionism and the Boycott," because that is the question which was involved in each of them. The purpose of the Trades Assembly at Schenectady was avowed with more openness than that of the other bodies referred to, but it is sufficiently clear that in a greater or less degree the State militia has been boycotted in the case of the several unions who have proscribed members connected with it, and that the whole community in the coal fields was boycotted by the anthracite union miners, so far as it had anything to do with non-union labor. We have a word to say about each of these undertakings. The attempt Sohenectady street-car lines collapsed ignominiously, and it was bound to do The market closed at 4 8365@4 8375 for long, so.

The needs of the system and the growing extent of its business are well illustrated by this capital appropriation of 20£ million dollars for additional equipment. etc., to It may be recalled that the company In April of last year issued 10 million dollars of equipment bonds. appears from the report that at the close the late fiscal year, that is on June 30 1902, Moreover of it the company's freight and service equipment (in- than 84,551 cars and that the company had 1,690 locomotives and 1,112 passenger cars. The balance sheet shows that on June 30 1902 the total of preferred and cluding the common affiliated lines) stock amounted aggregated no to $135,357,467, less that the funded debt at that date was $221,851,530 and that there were $11,281,034 of assumed liens, making $368,490,032 not counting the 10 millions of car trusts just mentioned which were issued last year, and have since been reduced to 9 million dollars, 1 million having been paid off. The $42,316,900 of new stock now to be issued will bring the total of stock and debt well above 400 million dollars. It will no doubt be a surprise to most persons to hear that the annual gross earnings now reach over 62 million dollars, the total for the twelve months ending June 30 1902 having been $62,- amount of the direct — —as showing the extent of the company's business —that the total of revenue freight carried one marked mile during the late year fell only a trifle 7,500 million tons, being 7,495,527,780. short of The figures the 3,233 miles directly embraced in the Baltimore & Ohio system, the 1,106 miles of affiliated roads not being included in these in this instance cover only statistics. On this latter 1,309 million more tons were moved one mile, bringing the grand aggregate up to the imposing figure of 8,804,371,123 ton miles. We have stated that gross earnings had Increased $4,063,630; the increase in the net earnings on the 3,233 miles was $2,221,297, and the ratio of expenses to earnings (notwithstanding the increased maintenance outlays) was reduced from 65*89 per cent to 64-26 per cent. It will be asked, did not the company realize very much better average rates? In reply it may be said that there was a slight improvement in this respect, the average for the late year having been 5 '15 mills per ton per mile, as against 4*98 mills per ton mile in the previous year. The improvement, It would seem, however, does not represent any increase in the charge to shippers for the transportation services rendered, but simply means that there was a falling off in the lower and cheaper class freights, while at the same time there was an increase in general merchandise freight comprising many items of traffic bearing higher rates. The loss in low-class tonnage followed from the poor crops of the year preceding, while the increase in merchandise and higher-class freights is THE CHRONICLE. 1120 one of the incidents of the existing period of trade prosperity, and particularly the activity of the iron This view is fully borne out on further study In the case of the soft-coal tonnage, of the statistics. which is each year rising to larger proportions on the Baltimore & Ohio, the inorease in the average rate was really very trifling indeed. On this soft-coal tonnage the company realized only 3*52 mills per ton per mile in 1901-2, an Increase of barely *03 of a mill as compared with the year preceding. The annual report is in larger and better shape than ever before, and from a table showing the ton nage in the different commodities we see that the increase of 5,181,703 tons in total freight traffic was made in face of a diminution in the grain and flour tonnage of no less than 680,009 tons this reflecting There was also a decrease last year's crop shortage. of 13,227 tons in the live-stock tonnage and 19,975 tons in the tonnage in dressed meats, both presum- trades.

The current liabilities, including interest accrued but not due, and also the dividends payable in September, were at the same date only $18,169,749. GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION OF THE WORLD IN 1901. Through the courtesy Mr. George H. Roberts, Director of the United States Mint, we have received this week an advance copy of the Bureau's compilation of the world's production of gold and silver in 1901, and from it the subjoined tables have been prepared. The difference between the present total and the results we gathered and made public last February is very slight.

Australasia's output also increased in 1901, but Canada exhibits a considerable decrease from 1900. Russia, with an excess over the previous year of 130,875 fine ounces, approaches closely to Canada. Of the smaller producing countries, China records the greatest proportion of gain in 1901, the advanced to 439,801 fine ounces.

In these tables of totals, gold and silver in ore for years are given under the heads respectively of gold and silver. all The following shows the merchandise balance each year back to 1875. Unfortunately, the free gift of three millions sterling for and of two millions sterling to compensate the loyalists for their losses will practically wipe out the surplus which Sir M. H. Beach anticipated. It will be recollected that he expected a total surplus of revenue over expenditure on the basis of the taxation of the present year of about 10 millions sterling. Oat of this he proposes to resume the sinking fund, which will require somewhat over four millions sterling and which of course will go to the the repatriation of the Boers foi There would then remain between five and six millions sterling, which would also goto the redemption of debt. Unfortunately the Boer gift thus wipes out five millions, so that the redemption of debt in the three months ending with April will be five millions less than everybody anticipated recently. Still, there will be a sinking fund available of over five millions, and that will no doubt soon affect the market, especially as ruon-y is likely by and by to be plentiful and easy. Moreover, next year the reduction of the interest on consols by \i per cent will set free about a million and a-half sterling, wmch will also be available for the redemption of debt. In other departments there is little to call for notice. There is some uncertainty as to the course of trade in the immediate future. Up to the present the Clearing House returns and the railway returns are exceedingly satisfactory and show that business is very active. But there are complaints that new orders are not coming in freely, and there is some apprehension that we are entering upon a less active period. On the other hand, careful observers and gool judges think that the outlook is favorable, and that we are much nearer an improvement than is generally supposed. la any event, the uncertainty has some inflaence upon Stock Exchange redemption of debt. opinion. Upon the Continent there is little improvement. The strike true, has very materially benefited the coal trade in Germany. It is said that imtuense quantities of coal, which could not be disposed of at almost any price, a little while ago has now been sold favorably to France. Moreovtr, a very satisfactory report has just been issued by It is true the the largest electrical company In Germany. company had to reduce its dividend by about one-third, but still it pays as much as a per cent, and has a very large amount of money in baud. The rep >rt has made a very favorable impression; but outsiie of coal and electrical securities there is exceedingly little doing. in France, it is In France the recovery at the end of last week and the beginning of this week has not been maintained.

Tne one great customer is the Government. Money has become week unexpectedly this plentiful and List week it was believed that the ease had come to The leading French banks were withdrawing the balances they employed here in London upon a great scale and the Paris exchange upon London had fallen very low, bo low that a fall of another couple of centimes won id have brought it to gold point, Therefore, the Bank of England began to borrow in the open market, and as many of the bills taken some time ago matured, it was hoped that its con trol over the open market would rapidly increase. Apparently, however, the Bank has not continued borrowing. It is believed, indeed, that it has repaid some of the loans, while the Government has disbursed exceptionally large amounts. The result is that the rates, both of interest and of discount, have fallen materially. For the mement an end. the withdrawals of French capital are not very large. Although all the gold offering in the open market is being bought up either for France or for Austria, the demand for gold in Paiis is lees strong than it was last week. Meantime, the Iodia Council continues to sell its drafts well. It offered for tender on Wednesday 50 lacs, and the applications exceeded 4,350 lacs at prices ranging from Is. 8 31-32d. to Is. 4d per rupee.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.— The liquidating movement which was the conspicuous feature of last week's market had practically finished its course when that week closed. There was a hardening tendency during the short session on Saturday and Monday's market showed still further improvement. During the progress of the week the tendency has, with more or less irregularity, been to firmness under the stimulating influence of a 20-point rise in Manhattan Elevated shares. Various rumors accompanied the latter movement, the latest and best accredited of which seems to be that a lease of Manhattan has been made to the iDterborough Company. If this is true it will result, as is well known, in a passing of Manhattan control from Gould-Sage to Belmont interests, and therefore in a harmonious management of the Elevated and Rapid Transit systems when the latter is LXXV. completed. Other developments of the week are of a more general character an<i importance.

Baldwin Jr. says in snbstance General Results.— The operations for the past fiscal year show an : in the general traffio earnings and in the physical condition of the property. The increase in gross earnings, including York Rooaaway Beach Ry. (in both years), was $664,849, or 12-7 per cent. The operation of the road has been made more efficient OENEBAL BALANCE SHEET JUNE Improvement & New $ In every department, but the increased facilities furnished, together with the unprecedented cobi of fuel, wages and supplies, are refleeted intbe expenses, whioh lnoreased $380,419. The surplus net income was $544,255, whioh was credited to extraordinary expenditure fund, and after charging against that fund $ 56,824, the amount standing to its credit June 30, 1902, was $583,240. The principal charges to Long Island extraordinary expenditure fund were: Bridges, $42,477; rails, fastenings and interlocking, $50,562; new stations, $3 -.649. The net oharges to capital account were: Roadway, buildings and fixtures, $290,528; equipment, $533,163; marine equipment, *50,899; total, $874,!i91. Majntknancb, Improvements, Etc.— During the year 3,300 tons of 100 pound rail were laid, releasing good relaying rail, whioh was used on branobes. The appraised value of the equipment is In excess of its book value. There were added to the equipment this spring 8 ten- wh^el 20x26 cj linder locomotives; 53 oars in passengers service (lnoluding S vestibule parlor cars) aud 2 passenger motor cars. Eleven grade crossings were eliminated and six are In process of change. Large expenditures will be necessary upon the New York & Rookaway Beach Ry. to replace equipment worn out or destroyed In past years, oonstruot additional tracks across Jamaica Bay, and equip it for electrical operation In order to protect Its business and meet the competition of other lines. Tbollet links.— In order to accommodate thlokly settled districts adjacent to the railroad two additional trolley lines were constructed at a total cosr of $r 7,793— the Northport Traotlon Co., extending from East Northport 8tation to Northport Harbor, 269 miles, and the Nassau County Railway Co., from Sea Cliff Station to Sea CUff, 1-59 1 miles. Steamers —The steamer Sagamore was purchased as an additional ferryboat, to ply between Wall St. and Long Island City, at a cost of $50,899. The steamer Montauk, owned by the Montauk Steamboat Co., was sold, and a large steamer will be built in Its place. Favobable decision —The decision of Justice Marean of Brooklyn, forfeiting runts of the company In part of the right of way and tracks of the Manhattan Beach Division at the suit of the Oanarsle RR. was unanimously reversed by the Appellate Division in June; the opinion practically establishes ownership of the routes in our lessor company. TuNNbLS Etc.— lhe suit of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. to prevent the Atlantic Avenue improvement has been decided In our favor on the preliminary motions and the injunctions denied, and the work is prooeealng. The ohange of grade of traoks from Fiatbush to Atkins Ave. was begun Nov. 8, 1901. Payment by the olty of its proportion (one-half) of the cost of these improvements has been approved, and the accounts win be settled as they accrue. The application for a franchise for the LoDg Island Extension RR. Co. to construct a tunnel between Manhattan Island ana Long Island City has been withdrawn. Meanwhile the Pennsylvania RR. Co. has applied ror a fr nchise to build two single-track tunnels from Its lines In New Jersey to a large central station to be located at 33d St. and 7th Ave Manhattan, and thence to Long Island City, with four single-traok tunnels to a oonneotlon with the Long Island RR. It la intended that thla terminal station shall also be used by the Long Island RR. co. On July 24 the Board of Rapid Transit Commissioners of the City of New York awarded a contract to the Interborough RR Co. to construct a subway and tunnel from City Hall, New York:, to Fiatbush Ave., Brooklyn, as an extension of the subway now being constru -ted in New York. The completion of this most important work, within three years, together with the completion of the Atlantic Avenue Improvement of the Long Island RR. Co., will pro vide a convenient and satisfactory route for Long Island passengers to and from lower , Manhattan Island. With the two tunnel connections, one from 83rd St., Manhattan, and another by way of Brooklyn, a large permanent traffio will be secured, as well as an Increased summer business. In anticipation of suoh new conditions, considerable expenditures must be made in additional track, yards and equipment, and the Indications are that In the near future the problem to be met will be that of handling the business.

President Samuel Hunt says in substance Equipment.— Owing to conditions beyond control, the results have been far from satisfactory. Through lack of rain the water supply for engines was so extremely bad as to be ruinous to boilers. Unfortunately the greater part of the equipment- already old— acquired in the purchase of the property had been badly cared for previously, and the busy season (at once upon us) found us In a state of unpreparedness that was well nigh appalling. Moreover besides requiring amuoh greater amount of fuel, the leaking and crippled engines, throughovertlme, inefficient service and repeated break-downs, largely Increased our pay-rolls. The work of rebuilding aud repairing both engines and oars has been pushed as rapidly as possible with the means at hand, and with newequlpment purchased and contracted for, it Is expeoted better results will be attained during the coming year. Wages —During the receivership of the Detroit & Lima Northern Ry.. the scale of wages paid the employes was only 65 p. o. of that paid on the Ohio Southern and by other roads In the same territory. Soon after the consolidation, it was found that the disparity could not be continued, and the wages on the Northern Division were equalized, : thus adding largely to the increased cost or transportation. Ntw Terminals —Not only have the switching oharges In Detroit been prohibitory In effect, but the rentals required for traoks and station facilities at that olty are exorbitant. With the view of bettering this condition, the company has recently acquired s mewhat over 50 acres of land ou Zug Island, with a frontage on the Detroit River and on the Short Out Canal, a total water front of 3,300 feet. This land lies adjacent to the works of the Bolvay Piocess Co. and the plant under construction for the Detroit Iron & Steel Co. It permits the immediate development of muoh needed freight terminals and storage tracks, In addition to coal and ore docks, and will undoubtedly prove of great value to the property. The cost of the land was defrayed by the sale of $116,000 of the company's 4 per oent bonds.' 8 .. . . THE CHRONICLE. 1146 Iron Railway.— Near the close of the year a contraot was entered Into for the purchase of the Iron Railway, extending from Ironton to Dean, In Ohio, with branches to various ooal mines, In all 18^ miles of track, with valuable terminals in Ironton and fa oar transfer on the Ohio River oonneetlng with the Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. The purchase of this property, ana the construction of the mileage between Jackson and Lawrence Station (necessary to connect the two properties, will assuredly result In materially lnoreaslng our earnings. Work is progressing satisfactorily on the extension and its completion is looked for at an early date. Maintenance, Etc.— No charges of any kind were made to capital account except for the Detroit River terminals ($118,707) and 5 new consolidation freight locomotives and 50 stock cars of 60,000 pounds oapaoity ($105,413). This new equipment was received during April, 1902, and to pay for it $100,000 Ohio Southern Division bonds were issued 5 additional freight engines of the same type, and 500 eightythousand pounds capaoity ooal cars have been ordered, for October and November delivery. During the year there were purchased 151,487 ties, two-thirds of which had been placed in the track prior to June 30. Four and one third miles of new seventy-pound rail have been purchased and laid In the main track on the Southern Division, and about 4^ miles of new slde-traoks have been built. ; Of the total tons carried, 54 p. c. was bituminous coal. The equipment on June 30, 1902, included 60 locomotives, 35 cars in passenger service and 4,870 cars in freight service.

Co. owns and operates a belt and terminal system in the olty of Birmingham, consisting of about 14 acres & of real estate in the heart of the city, opposite the union passenger station, and 16 miles of traok, reaching at present 34 industries. The proceeds of the $1,000,000 bonds represent the present cost and provide for $100,000 to be expended on the property nnder oertlfloation of an engineer or auditor. The capital stock of the company has been deposited with the Old Colony Trust Co. in trust, until suoh time as the St. Louis San Francisco RR. Co. shall have expended for additions and betterments to become subject to the first mortgage, at least $500,000 in cash other than the proceeds of the first mortgage bonds. In case of sale of the deposited stock or its exchange by merger or otherwise, the proceeds, whether cash or new securities, are to be held in its stead. The St. Louis San Francisco RR.

Wages.— Considerable prominence is being given in the daily papers to an alleged determination on the part of the Eastern trunk lines to recoup themselves for the advances in wages by increasing the rates charged for carrying certain classes of freight.

New York & Brooklyn (Tnnnel) RR.—Preliminary Workin Progress— This company has begun preliminary borings on the property at the corner of Water and Beekman Streets which was recently purchased for use in connection with the proposed tunnel from Park Place, Manhattan, to Brooklyn. This property is about 68 x 57 feet. The New York "Evening Post " says " Behind the Manhattan Transit Co. In this Important operation Is sain to be the same syndicate of Englishmen who backed the construction of the London tuppenny tube.' According to the director, passengers will be shot under the East River with the same method of propulsion used by the soenlc railways at Coney Island. The two traoks will be built with Inclines and reotprooal dips, the oars gathering impetus by momemtum and self-checking excess of speed. Six million, dollars have been raised by the English backers of the scheme, and this sum is said to be deposited in New York at the present time. The syndicate is to build the tube for the Manattan Transit Co., and the company is to operate it and receive 50 p.o. of the earnings. Fred B. Esler, formerly interested in the franchise, has disposed of his interests in it. Ttie Manhattan Transit Co. Is the sole owner of the franchise now. Gustavus Myers's "History of Publio Franchises In New York City" says: the New York & Brooklyn Ry. Co. seoured a franchise fr^m the Board of Aldermen in 1896 to construct and operate a tunnel from Ann St. and Park Row, under private property to be acquired bv the company, and under Nassau, William and other streets, to Pier No. 23, and thence to the City Hall, Brooklyn.

The appeal, it is held, was not taken within the time required by law. Earnings.— President Osgood, in the circular referred to last week, makes the following statement: The improvements, though by no means completed, are beginning to produce results in earnings which justify all the estimates that have been made. The net earnings of the four months of the current business year, Jane 30th, 1902. to Oct. 31st. 1902. were $747,341; an increase of $334,330, or about 85 p. c. as compard with the same perlol ; last year. This Increase has been made with but little increase in — Great Lakes Coal Co. New Enterprise. This company was reoently organized with $5,000,000 of authorized capital stock (all common, no bonds) by Gnffy & Qaeen, the wellknown oil firm of Pittsburg, and purchased about 25,000 acres of coal lands near Bradj's Bend, Pa., 40 mil^s northeast of Pittsburg. Ten mines are being opened and five more are to be developed later, increasing the daily output to some 12,000 tons. The Western Allegheny RR. Co., which is owned by the coal company, has begun the building of a line of railroad to open up the coal tra^t. This road will be of high-rlass construction and low grades. It will extend from Red Bank, Armstrong County, almost due west 18 miles, to a connection with the Pittsburg B-ssemer Lake Erie RR., which road will carry the coal to Conneaut Harbor on Lake Erie, whence it will be shipped by boat to points on the Great Lakes. The new road is also projected to New Castle, Pa., making in all a line 50.miles in length. The "PittsburgDespatch," in an accredited statement, says: The tract contains three good veins of ooal— the ^reeport vein, four feet thick and suitaMe for coking; the Upper Kittanning, six feet thick, and the Lower Kittanning, four feet thick, both said to be splendid steam coals. All of these mines are to be worked by drifts, and they are so located on the hills that coal will be mined from the three and loaned upon the cars from one steel tipple. The coal was coked for 40 years by the Brady's Bend Iron Co., and used in its blast fur- & naces. The President A. H.

Commercial ^itwzs. Friday Night, November 21, 1902. The Movement of the Chop, as Indicated by our telegrams COMMERCIAL EPITOME. Friday Night, Nov. 21, 1902. A development that has received considerable attention in the commercial markets has been the advance of 10 per cent in wages made by numerous railroad systems. This advance has been of especial importance to interior merchants, the opinion being widely expressed that it means an advance in West-bound railroad freights in the near future. At any rate, anticipating such an advance, these merchants have become freer buyers of merchandise at Eastern markets for prompt shipment to the interior so that advantage can be taken of freight rates now in force. As to the general business situation, conditions are satisfactory, with the outlook for continued activity considered encouraging. Important price changes that have occurred during the week have been a sharp upturn to prices for sugar, and in the speculative markets prominent bull operatois have been aggressive in wheat and corn, advancing* pi ices, and there has been a material re- covery in cotton values. Lard on the spot has been sparingly offered, due to small stocks, and prices have advanced, following the speculative market. The close was easier at 11 '50c. for prime Western and 10 50@llc. for prime City. The demand for refined lard has been quiet, but prices have been firm and higher, closing at 11 '60c. for refined for the Continent. Speculation in lard for future delivery has been fairly active at advancing prices. Shorts have been steady buyers to cover contracts, influenced by the advancing prices for feed-stuffs. The close was easier. Dini OLOSXWG PRICES OT LAED FUTURES IN CHICAGO. , Mon. Sat. November del'y.. 10-40 January del'y 10-85 9-05 9-17ifl Wed. 10-95 9-12i« 9*30 Tutt. 1085 Ttturt.

Increased outside speculative interest has been shown in the market and the decrease in the crop movement, and tbe reports that the late growth of cotton in Texas was not developing properly induced buying for investment account. The Agricultural Bureau is expected to issue on December 3 a bullish estimate of the yield of the present crop and there has been some buying in anticipation of this report.

Later in the day, under realizing sales, the market reacted, closing barely steady 2 points higher for November but unchanged to 2 points lower for other months.

THE CHRONICLE. 22, 1902.] Cotton Facts.— Through the courtesy of Mr. Alfred B. Shepperson, the compiler and publisher, we have received this week a copy of his "Cotton Facts "—a handbook which covers a mass of statistics and information which should be of value to all those interested in cotton. Shipping — . 21, 1902. Reflecting an advance in the prices for the grain, there has been a firmer market for wheat flour. The volume of business transacted locally has reached only very moderate proportions, buyers as a rule apparently not having sufficient confidence in the higher prices quoted to make purchases of importance; consequently the sales made have been limited to small lines to cover current wants only. Rye flour has been quiet but steady. Buckwheat flour has had a slightly better sale at steady prices. Corn meal has been firm but quiet. Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been active, especially in the Chicago market, and prices advanced on extensive buying, understood to be for the account of Armour Co. The advance in prices was most pronounced for December deliveries, the aggressive operations by bull interests creating considerable uneasiness among shorts in the near-by positions, and they bonght to cover contracts. Cable advices from the European markets have been of an encouraging character, they reporting higher prices, and there has been some buying in the speculative markets for foreign account. The actual export demand, however, for cash wheat at the advance in prices has been only moderate. The movement of the spring-wheat crop has been smaller, weather conditions in the Northwest during the first part of the week being less favorable for the handling of the crop. Thursday there was a sharp reaction in prices, especially for May delivery, under free realizing sales by the recent buyers. The weather during the week has been reported favorable for the growing winter- wheat crop. To-day there was a less active and slightly easier market. The spot market was fairly active at steady prices, exporters being the buyers. DJJLT CLOSING PRICES OF MO. 2 RBD WHITER WHEAT TS Thurt. fri. Wed. Tuei. gat. Hon.

Values for the more distant deliveries have improved in sympathy. Daring the week the weather conditions in the corn belt have not been favorable for progress in drying the new crop. These reports have made both local and foreign shorts nervous, owing to the present small available supply of contract grades, and they entered the market as free buyers to cover contracts. Thursday there was a halt in the upward trend to values. Clear and colder weather was reported from the West, which was considered more favorable for an increased of the new crop, and prompted free selling by longs to realize profits. The spot market has been firmer but quiet. To-day prices were again lower under continued realizing sales. The spot market was quiet and easier. DAILY OLO8IN8 PRIOHS OY MO. 2 HCKRD CORK IB ¥ORS. Fri.

Locally the spot market has been fairly active and firm. To-day the market was firmer on reports of a more active cash demand. DAILY CLOSING PRICKS OT OAT8 IN YORK.. Wed. thurt. Fri. Sat.

All descriptions of woolen and worsted dress goods have ruled quiet but without change in prices. The market continues firm for flannels and blankets. The value of these New Sork exports since Jan. 1 to date has been $11,702,429 in 1902, against $10,168,592 in 1901. There has been no indication this week of a revival of buying of heavy brown cottons for China, and the general export demand has been inactive. Business on home trade account has been of moderate extent at previous prices. Sellers of denims, plaids, cheviots and other coarse colored cottons report a well sold up market and no difficulty in maintaining full prices in face of a generally quiet demand. The demand for wide sheetings is quiet and is held in checfc in cotton flannels and blankets by the scareity of ready supplies. Prices unchanged. All grades of bleached muslins and cambrics are steady in price, with no new feature in the demand coming forward. Kid finished cambrics are steady but dull.

There has been no noticeable development in the general demand for cotton goods at first hands during the week. The day-to-day demand has averaged about the same as last week, and outside of specialties for next spring has been practically governed by near requirements. It is significant of the general condition of the market that this demand suffices to keep most lines of merchandise well sold up and in some quarters is even in excess of current unsold production. In connection with forward business in heavy staple cottons, the tone shows more steadiness than a week ago. Then, under the influence of a declining|cotton market, sellers were showing signs of weakness on distant deliveries, but with cotton recovering considerably this week there is noticeably a hesitation on the part of such sellers to repeat the offers of a week ago. In no direction is there any quotable change in prices and the general tone is steady. The jobbing trade reports are generally satisfactory and few complaints are heard on the score of collections. Woolen Goods.— An increase in business has been reported this week in men's-wear woolen and worsted fabrics in light-weights for spring. Clothiers are making progress with their sample lines of spring garments and are beginning to re-order more freely. The weather has been against the clothing trade so far this winter by reason of its open character, so that with a cold spell, which can hardly be long delayed now, a considerable degree of activity ia looked for. There is little doing in heavy- weights for quick shipment beyond closing out some stock goods at irregular prices. The new heavy-weight season for 1903 is not expected to open for several weeks to come, but some business in staple lines has been done. No prices have been mentioned, but a higher market generally in next fall weights is looked for. The overcoat - m ! co j (O 1 « to coco " : ; : • • I • !

Cincinnati, Ohio.— Bonds Valid.— Local papers state that on November 5 the Circuit Court decided that the law authorizing the issue of $180,000 in bonds to purchase sites for branch libraries was valid, thus affirming Judge Murphy. The entry, it is said, was not merely formal, but was made after the Court had studied the case in the light of recent decisions of the Supreme Court to the effect that laws relating to the things incident to the conduct of the school system were not special legislation, though they related to only one connty or city. See V. 75, p. 1052. Logan, Utah.— Bond Litigation.— Suit haB been filed by S. W. Riter against the City Counoil to prevent the latter from issuing the $65,000 4 per cent electric-light bonds voted this year. It is contended that the city has no legal right to issue bonds for more than $28,000. The State Board of Land Commissioners, which purchased the entire issue, was satisfied, it is stated, as to the legality of the bonds, but in order to be perfectly safe insisted that the question should be passed upon by the courts. The suit has accordingly been brought. After being passed upon in the District Court the case will be at once appealed to the Supreme Court. Missouri. Amendments to State Constitution. We are advised by the Secretary of State that unofficial returns indicate that all eight amendments to the State Constitution voted upon at the recent election were adopted. Several of these amendments relate to taxation; one permits the city of St. Louis to frame a new charter, while another amends Article 10, Section 12, by exempting water debt and the assumed county debt in the case of St. Louis and the water debt incurred in 1895 in the case of Kansas City in computing the indebtedness of those cities. Another adds a new section to Article 10, known as Section 12a. This latter amendment permits cities of not less than 2,000 inhabitants nor more than 30,000 to issue bonds to an amount of 5% of the value of taxable property in excess of the prescribed limit of indebtedness, for the purpose of purchasing or constructing water works, electric or other light plants to be owned by the city, provided that such increase be authorized by two-tnirds of the voters at an election oalled for the pur- — pose. — St. Panl, Minn.— Bonds Invalid. The State Supreme Court on November 14 handed down a decision holding that the issuance of the $99,000 Z%% armory bonds (sold last May & New to Allen, Sand Co., York City), would be illegal, as the city has already put out bonds to the amount of 5% of its assessed valuation, the limit imposed on cities framing their own charters by the Constitutional Chronicle Nov. Amendment of 1898. See 8. Vermont.— Proposed Change of State Capital.— Frees dispatches state that a bill has been introduced in the General Assembly to provide for moving the Capital from Montpelier to Burlington. Burlington offers to bond itself for $200,000 toward building a new Capitol. The present Capitol was erected in 1857 by the town of Montpelier, and cost, it is said, only $40,000.
