ture was iu session until quite late in the season, and
the act referred to was passed only three days before
the close of the session, namely June 9, and has
elicited very little newspaper discussion. It seems
desirable, therefore, to point out what provisions of
the old law have been modified or altered, and the
nature of these modifications or alterations.
The new law is simply an amendment of Section
1800 of the old law, defining and restricting the in
vestments of savings institutions. An important
change is found at the very outset. The old law pro
vided that banks might invest not exceeding 20 per
cent of their deposits and surplus in notes “ secured
by pledge of dividend-paying stocks or interest-hear
ing bonds as collateral security.” The new law leaves
the amount unchanged, but imposes the condition
that the stocks or bonds so pledged “ shall have paid
dividends or interest of not less than three per centum
per annum during the two years next preceding that
in which the respective loan is made”, or the pledge
may be “ of any stocks, bonds or other obligations
which under the provisions of this Act can be pur
chased by savings banks.” In addition to the amount
of money that might be invested in this way, the old
law provided that 25 per cent more might be invested
in notes bearing the indorsement of two or more
parties, residents of Connecticut. The new law
reduces the additional amount to 20 per cent, so that
altogether only 40 per cent of deposits and surplus
may now be put into notes, against 45 per cent before,
and the requirements regarding collateral are more
stringent.
The author of the new law evidently did not look
with favor upon the securities of the Pacific States,
with the exception of California and Oregon, for the
bonds of Washington, which before were legal invest
ments for the banks, are now ruled out. The State se
curities in which the institutions may place their
funds therefore are as follows: New England States,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, California, Colorado and Oregon. This, it will
be observed, still leaves a broad field so far as this
class of securities is concerned.
In the case of municipal bonds, the old law, while
allowing investments in any city in the New England
States, did not confer the same broad authority in the
case of the cities of New York State. There was a spec
ial list containing the names of eight cities ; purchases
of bonds of other cities in New York had to be made
subject to the conditions of “ other incorporated
cities” as mentioned below; now the list is extended so
as to embrace any city in this State also. In New
Jersey, Newark was the only place under the old law
in which the banks might put their money; the new
law sanctions also the bonds of Paterson and Trenton.
Outside of these States the list of cities specifically
mentioned remains the same, it comprising Phila
delphia, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton,
Toledo, Louisville, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, St.
Louis and Omaha,
Besides the cities embraced in the foregoing, there is
in the new law, as there was in the old law, a provi
sion relating to investments in the bonds of other
incorporated cities having not less than twenty thous
and inhabitants. Here, too, there are important
amendments. In the first place, as the cities
must be located in the States mentioned in the
[VOL. LXV»
Act, and as Washington is not now enumerated),
bonds of cities in that State obviously do not
come within the category of legal investments.
In the second place, though the limitation of 20,000
population remains unchanged, the debt limit is
reduced from 8 per cent of the assessed value of the
property to only 7 per cent; but water debt may now
be deducted in the calculation. On the other hand it
is distinctly provided that “ this Act shall not be held
to authorize the investment of any funds in ‘special
assessment bonds' or ‘improvement bonds’, so called,
which are secured only on the property benefited, ex
cept in those States where such bonds are by law a
direct and primary obligation of the city issuing the
same.”
As to investments in railroad securities, the provisions
are substantially the same as before, except that after
the words “ in the first mortgage bonds of any railroad
company whose road is located wholly or in part in
any of the States mentioned in this Act”, the follow
ing clause is added— “provided said railroad is located
wholly within the United States.” All the other
limitations are retained, that is, in every case the rail
road company in the bonds of which an investment is
made must have paid each year, for a period of not less
than five years next previous to such investment, in
addition to the interest on its funded indebtedness,
dividends of not less than four per cent per annum
upon its entire capital stock outstanding. Further
more, said outstanding capital stock at the time of
such dividends must equal or exceed in amount onethird of the entire outstanding issue of bonds in
which the investment is made. We italicize the word
“ outstanding ” because in the old law the expression
used was “authorized issue.”
The provisions and limitations regarding invest
ments in the capital stock of banks and trust com
panies and those regarding investments in the obliga
tions of counties, cities, towns, boroughs and school
districts of Connecticut stand just about as they were
before. In the old law the concluding portion of the
Act read that “ all other investments ” should be in
loans secured by mortgage on unencumbered real
estate. The new statute says that “ all other invest
ments shall consist of deposits in incorporated banks
or trust companies located in this State (Connecti
cut) or in the States of New York, Massachusetts or
Rhode Island”, or of loans secured by mortgage on
unencumbered real estate, etc.
Altogether it will be seen the changes which have
been made are, as stated at the outset, quite import
ant. To a certain extent they enlarge the scope of
the investments of the banks. At the same time
they embody some modifications which are in the line
of conservatism and must tend to greater safety.

The Collector of Customs at San Francisco has furnished

silver through that port for the month of October, and
they are presented below, together with the figures for the
preceding months, thus completing the results for the ten
months of the calendar year 1897. The imports of gold were
large in October, but smaller than in either of the two

THE CHRONICLE,
1003
eultieg, while the quarrels of the nationalities in Austria
seem to be growing bitterer every day.
The Transvaal Government has, as yet, done nothing to
satisfy the demands of the mining industry, and the fighting
on the northwest frontier of India has not yet come to an
end. Meanwhile, there is every prospect of a conference of
the employers and the employed in the engineering trade,
and it is to be hoped that a friendly settlement will soon be
arrived at. There are grounds for believing likewise that
the threatened strike in the cotton trade w ill be averted.
The news from Australia is partly satisfactory. The wheat
crop is reported to be good, and there is a better demand
than for some years past for wheat lands, which are selling
at fair prices. But unfortunately the spring rains are de
ficient, and there are fears that the drought will continue.
From Argentina the news is more favorable. The wheat
crop is reported to be excellent. The condition of affairs in
Brazil looks extremely bad.
The directors of the Bank of England’made no change in
their rate of discount this week, but they have such a com
mand over the outside market now that they can count with
reasonable certainty upon making a higher figure effective
whenever they think it proper to raise the rate. The Bank
has borrowed largely, with the proceeds it discounted bills to
a very considerable extent, the bills are now falling due, and
thus the outside market is becoming poorer while the Bank
is in a more commanding position.
In the open market the demand for gold for the Continent
is as strong as ever, and, as stated above, practically no gold
has gone into the Bank for many weeks past, except in the
form of sovereigns too light to be taken by foreign countries.
Therefore, all the Bank has been able to do is to prevent a
drain upon itself. The belief still exists that gold will be
taken from the Bank by Germany. At the same time, it is
to be borne in mind that the value of money here is high,
that if any considerable withdrawals were made by Germany
rates would advance, and therefore it is possible that the
demand may not occur, if Berlin can get assistance from any
other quarter.
Whether gold will be sent to New York is still a moot point
here. Some think that it will, others that it will not. But
the Directors of the Bank of England are inclined to fear
that a considerable amount may be taken, and therefore they
have been eager to get command of the market so as to pro
tect their reserve. With regard to India there seems ex
tremely little probability now that gold will be sent out. The
exchange is considerably below the gold point, and unless
something utterly utterly unforeseen happens is not likely to
rise much.
The “Railway News'’ of London reports the traffic receipts
for the week ending Oct. 24 of f>4 railways of the United
Kingdom which make weekly returns at £1,714,167, against

The elevator on Wharf No. 4 has had conveyors attached,
thus avoiding the necessity of moving a vessel while being
loaded. The elevator is now rated to handle 50,001 bushels
of grain a day.
Lease o f A u g u s ta S o u th e r n R R . —On March 1, 1897, the
Augusta Southern RR was leased to your company in per
petnity. Bv this leas3 84 miles of road, extending from your
road at Augusta, through a productive farming country to a
connection with the Central Railway of Georgia at Tennille,
Ga., were added to your system. The road is standard gauge
and laid with new 56-lb. steel rails. The rental per annum,
is $30,000, and one-half the net earnings over that sum. The
lease secures to your company a feeder much of the traffic of
which heretofore was given to other roads.

President and General Manager J. D. Hawks says in p a rt:
C o n d itio n o f P r o p e r t y . —D iring the year the property has
been maintained in an efficient condition, and greatly im
proved in respect to ballast, bridges and the substitution of
70-lb. rail for lighter at-el. The company has no floating
debt and has had no construction account since October,
189G.
E x te n s io n s .— The Southern Extension from Emery Junc
tion to Bay City, a distance of 47 miles, opened on S9pt. 20,
1896, has afforded us a very much better outlet than before,
furnishing considerable business during the year, and promis

through the transaction practically acquires the only street
railway company of importance in Philadelphia that was not
already controlled.—V. 64, p. 180; V. 65, p. 514, 516.
Kansas City, (Mo.) Ons Co.—E a r n in g s .—The net earnings

Kansas City P ittsburg & Gulf RR.—P ort Arthur Chan

Arthur Channel# Dock Co., an independent corporation, with
a capital stock of $1,500,000, is actively prosecuting the work
of buildiDg up a terminal property which will afford terminal
facilities for the Kansas City Pittsburg & Gulf RR. at the
Gulf of Mexico. At Port Arthur, the terminus of the road,
a ship canal is in course of construction a distance of 7 miles
to deep water. This canal will have the same dimensions as
the Suez Canal. About a mile and a half of the work is
finished, and it is expected to complete the same by October
of next year. At the deep water end of the canal, where the
company has nearly completed an inlet to the canal 300 feet
wide, 600 feet long and 24 feet deep, temporary warehouses
will be ready for the reception of merchandise by the middle
of January. Until the completion next year of the canal,
freight will be lightered to this point from the company’s
piers at Port Arthur. Up to this time the K. C. P. & G.
export traffic has left the road either at Shreveport for New
Orleans or at Beaumont for Galveston.
Arrangements for handling the export traffic at Port Ar
thur have been made as follows:
The Atlantic & Mexican Gulf Steamship Co. will start two
boats a month to Mexico, beginning December 5. This com
pany will also establish a line of steamers to Jamaica and
Cuba, beginning Dec. 25. A new company known as the Port
Arthur Trans-Atlantic SS Co., organized by English capital
ists, with a fleet of seven boats, carrying freight and passengers
to Liverpool, will begin operations Dec. 25. In addition to
the above Jos de Poor ter, of Rotterdam, proposes to estab
lish a line from that port, and has chartered three steamers
for sailings in January, March and April.
The Port Arthur Channel & Dock Co. has a contract with
the Government contractors for 24,000 cars of rock for the
jetty work at Sabine Pass. This rock is transported about
100 miles over the K. C. P. & G. President Stilwell, speak
ing of the traffic movement over the road, says it is equally
divided in both directions ; every car going south with grain
returns loaded with lumber or with other products that
abound along the line of the road. There are nearly one hun
dred lumber mills located on the road. The company has one
contract for eighty cars of cedar for export to make the
Faber lead pencils. While the road owns 2,4'>0 box cars, 465
flat cars, 1,360 coal cars and 250 miscellaneous cars, the equip
ment is insufficient to meet its requirements.—V. 65, p. 869.

C o n tr o l P u r c h a s e d . —A syndicate, headed by Messrs. John
L. Williams & Sons of Richmond and Middendorf, Oliver &
Co. of Baltimore, who are also the principal owners of the
Richmond Traction Co., has purchased the Norfolk (Va.)
Street RR. for a sum stated to be “nearly $1,000,009 in cash.”
As the company’s capital stock is $1,000,000, the price is
equivalent to a little less than par for the shares.
The Norfolk & Ocean Yiew RR., extending from Norfolk
to Ocean View, a distance of nine miles, and the Ocean View
Hotel will be acquired, it is understood, by the same
parties,and it is thought will be consolidated with the company
now purchased. The Norfolk Street Ry. is a valuable prop
erty, comprising about 20 miles of electric road with fran
chises having fifty years to run from January, 1888. While
in good condition, extensive improvements are proposed to
bring it up to the standard of the Richmond Traction Co.

gage. There are $11,736,000 general first mortgage bonds
now held by the public, and the payment on or before Jan. 1,
1898 of the $399,000 bonds drawn for redemption at 110, as
noted last week, will decrease this amount to $11,337,000, a

missioner at Waco, on Dec. 13 Further adjudication, how
ever, is necessary, and it is expected to get the matter in
shape to bring before the Circuit Court of Appeals in Janu
ary, 1898, for a final order. The Houston & Texas Central
has proposed to purchase the Waco & Northwestern, if satis
factory terms can be arranged, the right to make the pur
chase having been obtained from the Texas Legislature last
spring.—V. 64, p. 707.
W alker Company.—P u r c h a s e o f C o n tr o l. —An eastern
syndicate, including ex-Governor Flower, J. W. Hinkley,
Anthony N. Brady and Perry Belmont, has purchased
the entire control of this company, including all its
stock and bonds, for a sum said to be about $5,0.10,000. The
purchasers have been stockholders in the company for a short
time, but only in minority capacity. The Walker Company
is one of the leading manufacturers of electric railway and
electric-lighting apparatus in the country. The company
was chartered in 1880 under the laws of New Jersey and pur
chased the Walker Manufacturing Co. of Cleveland and the
Consolidated & Electrical Construction Co. of New York, with
factories at New Haven. The stock of the company is divided
into 25,000 shares of $100 each. Bonds to the amount of the
stock, $2,500,01 0, are authorized, of which $1,500,000 have
been issued at 6 per cent.—V. 62, p. 989.
West End Street By.—Boston Elevated BR.— R a ilr o a d
Massachusetts Rail
road Commissioners on Tuesday made their report disapprov
ing the proposed lease of the West End Street Railway to the
Boston Elevated Co. The Commissioners give two principal
reasons for this disapproval. The first of these is that the
lease would take the West End out of the special class of
railways that may be controlled at any time by specific legis
lation, and places it under the charter of the Boston Elevated
RR. Co., which especially provides that no “other burden,
duty or obligation, which is not at the same time imposed by
general law on all street railway companies” shall be placed
upon it. This the Commissioners believe would remove a
valuable safeguard to public safety and convenience in the
conduct of the road.
The second important defect is that for ninety-nine years the
lease would work to prevent any reduction of existing fares,
because of the large compensation to be paid to the West
End, which would, in the opinion of the Commissioners, tax
the earning power of the new company to the utmost. The
Elevated Company agrees to pay 8 per cent on the stock of
the West End, besides other charges and expenses that would
bring the total up to 11 per cent on the par value of the com
mon stock, which is absolutely guaranteed, whether earned
or not. In the last four years and three-quarters the Com
missioners say the W est End has earned 6-84 per cent on its
common stock, and there is no reason to suppose that in the
future it would earn more, the tendency in fact being
toward a decrease rather than an increase in the value of
investments. On the contrary, it is claimed the West End
might easily be placed in a position where its earnings would
materially fall off. in spite of which this large dividend is
absolutely guaranteed by the terms of the lease for a term
covering the lives of three generations.
Three appraisers appointed by the Commissioners have found
the full property va'ue of the West End plant for railway
.purposes to be $25,606,807. The amount of the outstanding
capital stock and net debt of the company at the same date,
as ascertained by the board, was $.6,341,192, “This,” say the
Commissioners, “shows a deficiency of assets to the amount
of $734,385. This deficit properly attaches to the common
stock as the inferior security. The result is an impairment
of the common stock of over 8 per cent of its par value. In
other words, each $100 of common stock represents about
$92 of actu il property. It appears, therefore, that the West
End has applied too little, rather than too much, of its net
divisible income to offset depreciation.”
• The Commissioners point out that in the lease of the sub
way and the charter of the Elevated road the Legislature has
carefully followed its usual policy of giving concessions for
only a comparatively short term, and that the proposed lease
" in its present form is wholly discordant with the public
policy deliberately settled and wisely restric ed by the Legis
lature. It is practically destructive to that policy.”
The Massachusetts Legislature and the Governor have ap
proved the lease, and the West End directors and stockholders
have sanctioned it, but this action of the Railroad Com
missioners prevents its consummation. The decision caused
a heavy decline in the price of the company’s stock. The reE?rjL*or

The percentage of the cost of operation was 69-34 per cent
in comparison w ith 66-40 per cent for the previous year; the
reasons for this increased cost are especially set forth in the
report of the Vice-President herewith submitted.
The loss of $318,395 33 in gross earnings and $287,344 49 in
net earnings was due to the continued financial depression
which existed w ith increasing force through the'entire year.
During this season of depression there was a limited pas
senger travel, which largely occasioned the net loss, the
decrease in this class of business am ounting to the sum of
$229,495 26.
Referring to the causes of the results of operation more in
| d e ta il: the year commenced with a strike in the coal fields
tributary to the line of the company, which practically
closed that business for two anda-half months. The general
depression in business throughout the country was aug
mented by the Presidential canvass, so that when the first
six months of the fiscal year closed the net earnings were
about $230,000 less than for the same period of the previous
year. After the first of January the business of the country
did not revive ; the tariff agitation seriously affected the
business of local industries and the commercial communi
ties in the Company’s territory, and continued practically
until the close of the fiscal year, so that during the last half
of it the business conditions were worse than those which
existed during the first part of the year.
In the month of March the country through which a
large portion of the road passes was visited by the greatest
floods known in that section. A part of the line was de
stroyed, and operations on the Mississippi Division prac
tically ceased for many days, entailing not only large losses
to the Company’s property but very large losses in traffic.
Ju t at the close of the fiscal year, the business of the
country commenced to revive, our local traffic improved,
and at this writing the general business of the line is so
substantially and rapidly improving that there is every
promise that during the first six months of the new fiscal
year, notwithstanding the general coal strike, which con
tinued until the middle of September, the Company w ill
earn more than its fixed charges, and if the same general
conditions continue it w ill end its fiscal year w ith a surplus
over such charges.
In order to meet the abnormal conditions prevailing dur
ing the year, the Management promptly adopted a policy of
economies to produce the best results, while maintaining
the property to the standard of efficiency and excellence
which has been observed throughout the Company’s opera
tions, notwithstanding the vicissitudes it has yearly en
countered since the panic of 1893. These have been carried
out and the property and equipment is to-day in as good
order as it would have been bad the normal gross and net
earnings been realized. This is due to the fact that the road
and property have been thoroughly maintained during each
year of the Company’s existence, and to the economies of
operation; among some of the results accomplished was the
increasing of the number of tons per freight train mile from
191 for the p evious year to 212 in this year, w ith a large
decrease in the freight train mileage.
Owing to the unfavorable conditions previously men
tioned, the Company has been unab’e to sell at satisfactory
prices, as it had contemplated, its Consolidated Mortgage
Bonds reserved in the Treasury, and ample to pay for im
provements, betterments, etc., which were provided to be
used for such purposes. The Company, in the m ea'tim e,
had to use its moneys to pay for equipment, additions to
property, damages suffered by floods, fixed charges, etc.
The inability to sell its bonds at a satisfactory price neces
sitated other arrangements to be made for the payment of
the indebtedness thus created. It was therefore determined,

Speculation in the market for cotton for future delivery
htm been quiet, being confined almost exclusively to opera
tions by local traders, as the interest shown by outsiders has
subsided, at least for the present. The fluctuations in prices |
have been within a narrow range and the net change for the
week has been unimportant. Developments as a rule have
been against values, tb« crop movement has continued large,
there have been freer offerings from the Sooth of cot
ton and at easier prices, particularly for the lower grades
and foreign upinners have- been leas active buyer*, particu
larly on the Continent, advices received stating that
they were now drawing upon their recent purchases. Owing,
however, to the fact that sellers have not been ag- ;
gretortvo, no pronounced weakness has develop- d in prices
in the speculative market. Tuesday the port receipts
for the day were the largest in the history of the trade,
reaching a total of 97,05$ bales, against 91,925 bale*,;
the previous largest total, which was received on Oct. 29,
1894. Wednesday there was a quiet market, and the close
showed prices a t o 3 points lower for the day under liqnida- j
tion by local longs, prompted by the large crop movement,
Thursday was a holiday.
To day th e re was a quiet market, ;
but prices advanced a few points on local baying, stimulated j
by a slightly smaller c ro p movement fo r th e week th a n e x
pected, closing firm 3 to 5 points up for the day. The spot
market was quiet and price* declined l-16c. on Saturday.
To-day the market trw du'l and unchanged at 5 18 10c. for
middling uplands. The estimates of 180 members of the New
York Cotton Exchange as to the total yield of the present
crop vary from 9,750,90b bale# to 11.000,000 bales, and the
average of the estimates is 10,431.000 bales.
The total salt** for forward delivery for the week are
392,400 bales. For immediut*- delivery the total sales foot
up this week 1,109 bales, including — for export, 101 for
consumption, ---- for speculation and 8,0(8 on contract.
The following are the official quotations for each day of the
past week—No-ember 2 • to November
Bateson and off middling, as revised Nov. 17, 1-897. by the
Revision Committee, a t which grades other than middling
may be delivered on contract, applies to quotations begin
ning with the 18th.

We give below a statement showing the overland movement
foi the week and since September 1. As the returns reach us
by telegraph late Friday night it is impossible to enter so
largely into detail as in our regular monthly report, but all
tne principal matters of interest are given. This weekly
publication is of course supplementary to the more extended
monthly statements. The results for the week ending N"ov. 26
and since Sept. 1 in the last two years are as follows.

City mills have b en steady, iiye flour has had a limited
sale at steady values. Buckwheat flour has had a better
sale at steadier prices. Demand for corn meal has been quiet
and prices have shown an easy tone.
The speculative dealings in the market for wheat futures
have been on a moderate scale only, but as a resalt of firmer
foreign advice*, accompanied by some buying orders and a
fair export trade, prices have scored a moderate advance,
although a continued heavy movement of the crop in the
Northwest has made many of the trade show extreme caution
in their operations, Saturday there vrtii a quiet but steady
market. Monday prices weakened slightly under reports
on the statistical position and the large movement
of the spriag wheat crop. Subsequently reports of
fair purchases for export steadied the market and prices
improved, Tuesday there was an advance of

Only a small speculative interest lias been shown in the
market for Indian corn futures, and prices weakened slightly
immediately following our last report, in response to weaker
advices from the West, where longs sold to reilize profits.
Subsequently prices made a fractional recovery, following the
advance in wheat, and on a demand from shorts to cover con
tracts, stimulated by fairly large purchases by exporters.
Advices from the West, however, reporting free offerings
from the country had a tendency to hold the market in check.
To-day the market was firmer on an active export business
and in sympathy with the advance in wheat. The spot mar
ket has been active, as exporters have been buyers. Their
purchases to day were 350,000 bushels No. 2 mixed at 33%@
35%c. f. o. b. afloat as to time of delivery.

Oats for future delivery have been quiet, and prices have
gradually weakened in response to easier advices from the
Western market where selling by the elevator people and real
izing sales by longs weakened prices. The crop movement
has been fairly heavy, and there was a moderate increase in
the visible supply, which also had an influence against
values. To-day the market was quiet but steady. Exporters
have been fair buyers in the spot market, and their purchases
to-day were 21,010 bushels, including No. 2 white clipped

The value of the New York exports for the year to date
has been $9,358,294 in 1897 against $9,655,803 in 1896.
The home demand for brown sheetings and drills continues
dull. Bids for quantities are noted occasionally, but they
seldom result in actual business, buyers being too exacting.
The export demand is dull. Prices are very irregular and in
favor of buyers. Business in bleached cottons at first hands
has been limited, but jobbers are selling fair quantities at
cut prices. Agents are expected to make lower quotations
shortly. Denims are dull but prices unchanged Ticks,
plaids and other coarse colored cottons inactive and irreg
ular in price. Wide sheetings and c tton flannels and blankets
slow of sale and prices unchanged. Kid-finished cambrics
e isy and slow sellers. Merrimack indigo bine prints re
duced to llg'c., being the only change of the week in the
prints. Staple ginghams continue dull at previous prices.
Finer dress grades and napped goods in fair request for
spring. Print cloths unchanged at 2 5 16c. for extras, but no
business doing. Odd goods in moderate demand and easy to
bay.
