the Great Powers to become general, and it is not improbable
that energetic action may now be adopted which for the time

That precautionary motives weighed with the directors ia

becomes more evident from an examination of the weekly return. In point of fact the position of the Bank is stronger

£429,411 in the interim, and the proportion to liabilities being
41-64 per cent against 38-83 per cent. In bullion an increase

The speculative excitement in Stock Exchange circles has
been daily stimulated by the advices from New York. The
rush for Canadian and American railways has been very
great. Not only liavo English operators been dealing freely,
but we hear of large parcels of stock being absorbed by Dutch
and German houses. The advance in prices is naturally very
decided, but the rise is merely the reflex of an advance which
has previously occurred on ypur side. The last day or two
has, however, witnessed an extension of the speculative movement. Previously it had taken its initiative from New York,
open market which governs the exchanges, and this regulates
the ebb and flow of gold. Some significance must therefore
be attached to the circumstance that the joint-stock banks
have not fully followed the lead of the head establishment. It
is usual for the different banks to fix their rates of allowance
for deposits at notice at 1 per cent under Bank rate, but this
time they have only advanced the quotation % PC cent,
giving \}4 per cent, instead of 2 per cent, as was expected.

extension of the speculative movement in New York will infuse anything like life into the trade, and of that no signs can
be perceived. If New York shows weakness, our market,
which all the time keeps below New York, cannot be exjjected to be strong.
The advices of the advance in freights
on American lines, which should increase the cost of placing
wheat at Liverpool, and, pari passu, enhance its value, have
either been ignored or at least have fallen very flat, and have
failed to steady prices in any way.
The market is for the moment, in fact, sufficiently well supplied with produce, notwithstanding the contracted American shipments.
The
aggregate importations have become more liberal, and for the
weeks now show an excess over
last year of nearly
a deficiency of about 600,000
cwts. in the receipts of flour. Farmers have been sending
forward somewhat more freely during the past week or two,
but the gross sales in the principal markets since the commencement of the season still show a falling off of about

Ontnrio & Western. In the spring of 1882 this
company abandoned the branch from Norwich, N. Y., to
DeRiiyter, which had always been unprofitable, taking up
the rails and allowing the bridges and other structures to
decay. Litigation ensued and the case was decided againsi;
the company, and appealed. The court has now rendered its
judgment atflrming the order of the court below, and holding
that the company must reopen and operate the part of its line
which it had abandoned. This involves, on the part of the
company, the nece-isity of rebuilding and puttlni; in proper
construction about 28 miles of road running from Norwich to
DeRuyter. The case will probably be carried to the Court of
New Vork
Appeals.
Ohio Central,— At Charleston, West Va.. Nov. 25, the Ohio
Central Railroad was o])ened by a general test of the bridge
over the Ohio River at Point Pleasant, Through trains were
to be run over^the road Nov. 26.

Market and Financial Situation.—The
the Tlianksgiving holiday has made a break in
occurrence of
the week, and shortened the volume of busines.s.
Events transpiring since our last report have been of unusual
importance in their bearing upon the railroad situation, and
they have tested quite severely the real strength of the underThe announcement that the Baltimore
current of the market.
& Ohio had secured terminals on New York Harbor, and, in
another direction, that an injunction had been issued to
check the great New York Central-West Shore negotiation,
were matters of no ordinary import though as to the latter, it
can hardly be said that the usual temjjorary injunction, presumably obtained for speculative purposes, is regarded with
much fear among railroad men as an obstacle to the final sucTlie actual sale of the West
cess of an important transaction.
Shore road on Tuesday was also an event which had its effect
on the market iu stiffening prices_ immediately.
The reduction on Friday in the rate of dividend on Northwest common stock from 7 per cent per annum to 6 per cent
(the rate on the preferred was reduced last September from 8
per cent to 7) was likewise an occurrence of some moment,
and was used tp depress the market, though in the face of the
larger earnings now reported it would seem simply an evidence
of conservative action.
The advance on east-bound freights, just established, should
naturally have the effect of checking shijiments by rail for the
moment, but since inland navigation is now practically
closed for the
season, the freight must come forward by
rail in the near future, and whatever is held back at present will
make the volume larger hereafter. The comparatively low
prices of wheat and corn and the moderate export demand still
remain as drawbacks to a large movement to the seaboard, but
the new year may see a change in this respect, and in the
meantime the movements of general freights and of passengers
are likely to show improvement.
Reports of increased earnings still continue quite a favorable
feature of the situation.
The statement of the Pennsylvania
for October is not as good as had been expected, in view of
the advance in rates in that month, but the full effects of the
better rates cannot be felt all at once, and as there has now
been a further advance in the tariti this will hereafter count as
a more decidud influence. Some of the lines controlled by the
Pennsylvania do much better than itself, for the statements of
both the Northern Central and the Baltimore & Potomac show
important guins in net for the month. As regards Western,
Northwestern and Southwestern roads, the weekly reports thus
far received for November are almost all very satisfactory,
those in the Northwest particularly being distinguished for
improved results, though some of the Southwestern lines give
equally good accounts of themselves.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged at li@4 per cent, and
to-day at 2@4 per cent. Prime commercial paper is quoted
at 4 @.5 percent.
;
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a gain in specie of £334,314, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 46^, against 44Jlast week; the discount
rate
remains at 3 per cent. The Bank of France gained
3,430 000francs in gold and lost 1,748,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing House banks,
21. showed
total surplus
in their statement of
an int^rea-se in surplus reserve of $894 V2'>
being *27,389,375, against $26,495,150 the
the
previous week.

for the bauds,
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.— The stock market
little irregularity the past week, and prices
have fluctuated quite widely, showing alternate strength and
weakness as they were influenced by the operations of dealers
on one or the other side of the market. In the early part of
the week prices were decidedly weak, and declined verv
has exhibited not a
sharply under the influence of operations supjiosed to be for
those favoring lower values, but assisted by unsettling reports
of various kinds, the most imjiortant being the negotiations of

leaders in the upward movement being those stocks which had

lower prices.
The movement of individual stocks under special influences
has been less a feature this week, most of the market following
tlie course of the leading stocks.

has been conspicuously active, and has fluctuated widely

control, and wished to break the lease to Jlissouri Pacific.
Jersey Central, also, after showing considerable weakness in
the early dealings, later became quite strong, influenced by
& Ohio wanted possession of the
road, de.':])ite the Staten Island scheme.
To-day (Friday) the market was weak almost from beginning
to end, and little or no effort appears to have been made to
arrest the decline.
St. Paul went off decidedly, and so did
the Vanderbilts and the ex-Villards.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
New York Lake Erie & Western,
(For the year ending September SO, 1885.)
The annual meeting of stockholders was held November 34th,
and tlie directors elected for the ensuinis; year were Messrs.
John Kins. J. Lowber Welsh, Henry H. Cook.W. A.WhpHlock,
GeorRe W. Quintard, W. L. Strong, Morris K. Jesup. W. N.
Gilohrist. .lohn CJ. McOnllough, Cortlandt Parker, Wm. Libbey,
William Whitpwright, O^den Mills, W. B. Dinsmore, James
J. Ooolwin, Jacob llxya and Charles E. Loew. Mr. Josup and
Mr. Loew are elected in place of Messrs. George M. Groves
and James A. Raynor. At the meeting President King voted
180,637 shares of stock and 16.623,300 bonds. J. G. McCullough voted 2'")0,613 shares of stock and $17,706,300 bonds. I.
& S. AVormser voted 48,834 shares of Erie common, 3,308
preferred and $995,000 bonds. The new directors convened
subsequently and re-elected the present officers of tlie company.
The report of Mr. John King, the President, was submitted
at the meeting, and while it discusses at much length the
affairs of the year, it says nothing of the floating debt or balance sheet at the close on September 30. At the present
moment, when negotiation of the new loan and funding of
coupons is in progress, it was particularly desired that a full
statement of the company's financial condition should be
made. T!io annual statistics of traffic, detailed income, balance sheet, etc., are not yet issued. From the report of the
President the figures below are compiled. Mr. King states
the net result of the year as follows

During the present fiscal year, this company, having

acquired title to 2,9!)!» freight cars covered by that trtiHt, at a
cost of $1,187,81.5. The car ecpiipment, which has not been
kept up to the standard for several vears past, has been put in
proper condition, the sum of $750,840 having been ex|M>nded

After reviewing fully the Cincinnati Hamilton
Dsytotl
affair and the termination of the contract by the courts.
" It would be a great mistake to
President King remarks
suppose that the east-bound business which came to the Erie
line at Dayton was contributed by the Cincinnati Hamilton
Dayton Company, It was nearly all traffic which the agents
of your company secured at Cincinnati and other points in the
West, and for which the Cincinnati Hamilton & Davton Co.
simply furnished train and track facilities, charging therefor
much more than the character of the services justified. As
the result of this controversy, to which undue importance
was publicly given by those who desired to injure your eompany, the Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati
Indianapolis
Railway Co. came forward and offeretl much better terms for
the service between Dayton and Cincinnati, and a contract
has been made which will shortly be put into operation."

CHICAGO & ATLANTIC RK.
" Large sums of money were advanced to the Chicago <fe
Atlantic for purposes of construction, without coinjjensating
advantages to the Erie Company, as results so far have shown.
Notwithstanding the assertion that the Chicago & Atlantic
was practically an extension of the Erie system to the city of
Chicago, and that the road was to be under the control of the Erie
Company, this company is now and has been for nearly a year
past witliout voice or influence in the management of that
company or the conduct of its business. The relations of the
two companies are now the subject of disagreement and
litigation."
In regard to the great reduction in expenses
made
necessary
by the circumstances of the year 1884-5, Mr. King remarks:
"Sinecures were abolished, superfluous men removed,

The earnings and expenses of the company (including the

The earnings and expenses for the year, for the New York

power, are in better condition than at the beginning of the 3'ear."
The following statistics are compiled for the Chronicle,
(including the N. Y. Pa.& O. RR. from May 1, 1883, of which.
68 per cent of gross earnings are included).

but an increase in ton-miles of 29,090,498. The earnings per

from the previous year of "085 cents. ^
The gross earnings from passenger traffic on the N. Y. L. E.

5,385,669 in 1H"J4, or an increase of 9 55 per cent. The dvcreiise
in earnings was due to the decreased rates brouglit about by
the fierce competition for business and the demoralization of
&
« migrant rates.
No change has taken
place in the funded debt of the company since the last report, except that no interest upon the
second consolidated mortgage bonds has been paid during the
fiscal year and that amount has accumulated.
CAR TRUSTS.
" Under the original agreements governing the car trusts,
there was due and payable, during the present fis al year, on
account of principal and interest, the sum of $1,201,300. The
company, however, proposed to the holders of the various-car
trust securities that, instead of making the payments of principal as provided, it would make none on that account for the
year 1885, but would pay one per cnt each for 1886 and 1887,
two per cent each for 1888 and 1889, and thereafter not less

Mr. Elijah Smith, the President, says in the report, just
" There is a large decrease from the earnings
issued
of the previous year, due not only to the continued
:
depression in general business prevailing in all parts
of
country, and
which seriously impaired the
tlie
earnings of all transportation companies, but also to
special local causes which made the business prostration
more severe in the section of the country from which this
company derives its revenue." These causes, Mr. Smith says,
were the cessation of railroad building, the lower price for
wheat during the year than ever before known, ami the carrying over of stocks from 1883 by merchants in general causing
light shipments. The stock on hand has since been reduced
to such an extent as to warrant large orders to replenish, but
purchases are limited to small quantities, which "state of
affairs will probably continue until the coming crop hag been

" A reduction of $1 per ton in the rate on wheat was raaae

were compelled to receire for that product.
"The operating expenses have been reduced $464,721, which
would have made a better showing of net earnings but for the

of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company.'
" It is however, gratifying to note that the results of the
month of June, the last month of the fiscal year, indicate that
* "
the situation has changed for the better."'
" An enormous crop of wheat tributary to the line already
busassured insures even a greater increase in the company's
for
iness for the coming year than is indicated by the returns
June, and the results of the next fiscal year must be very
satisfactory as compared with any of the previous years of the
road's history." * * *

"The railroad is in good condition. Nineteen miles of steel
during the year, leaving lli miles to be laid to
rails were laid
make the main line and Baker City Branch all steel rail, of
which 24 miles must be laid at once." * » *
„
,
,
" On December 1, 1884, the Baker City Branch was finished
and connection made with the Oregon Short Line at Huntington, making for our company a second through line from the
Pacific Coast to the East; and while it will be the policy of
the O. R. N. Co. to preserve a strictly neutral basis between
the lines, with both of which it has traflic contracts, it must
derive great benefits in the way of increased business frorn
having two strong and powerful lines working for and with it."
The total number of passengers carried on the R. R. division
during the Tear was 123,100; the total number carried one
mile was 16,635,292; total tons of freight carried were 385,916; total number carried one mile was 74,142,473.

" The Legislature of Oregon repealed last winter its obstructive law relating to moitgages, thus making it possible
for this company to carry out its plan of making a consolidated mortgage, and of issuing five per cent bonds thereunder
to provide for the payment of the debentures and scrip certificates and the company's other requirements.
The necessary authority was given by vote of the stockholders at the
annual meeting in June, 1885, and the mortgage and bonds
we now being prepared. It will be necessary to negotiate a
Bufficient amount of these bonds to retire $600,000 of scrip
maturing November 1, 1885, and, if it can be done, $600,000 of
•crip maturing November 1, 1886, and also $1,000,000 of debenbentures, at present unsold, but which have been pledged
against the floating debt. As it was thought unwise to sell
any more seven per cent obUgations which would mature in
80 short a time, money has been borrowed on these debentures
at about four per cent per annum, pending the preparation
and sale of the consolidated mortgage bonds. It is expected
with the greatly increased earnings which are now assured,
that these bonds can be sold at a satisfactory price, and that
these results will be accomplished, leaving the company without floating debt."
The claim against Henry Villard has not been paid, and it
has not been possible to sell the property held as security at
any price which it was thought wise to accept.
Regarding the lease to the Northern and Union Pacific,
the report says : " Many obstacles and legal difficulties
have occurred in connection therewith, but it is hoped that
a lease or traffic contract can be devised which will be safe for
this company to adopt, and on terms that will be satisfactory
to the stockholders.'*^

Mexican National. — At a meeting of bondholders of the
Mexican National Railway Company, held in London on
the 5th instant, Mr. Joseph Price, who occupied the chair,
Baid that as to the future the problem to solve was the
completion of the intervening gap. He had that morning
received a letter from an engineer who had had a great
deal of experience in Mexico, and he had also, since the
last mreting, had an interview with another engineer,
who had built a portion of the railway. The exact distance to
be completed was 363 miles, with 5 per cent for sidings, and
it was estimated that the whole work could be completed for
$5,000,000. Of courae there would bo an amount necessary to
remove the floating debt and to provide rolling stock. It
seemed, Mr. Price said, to be the opinion of all who knew anything about Mexico that the Mexican National Railway passed
through a much better country than the others: and if the
Mexican Central line could eain $3,000 per mile, the Mexican
National ought, he considered, to earn $5,000 per mile. That
being the case, and with such wealthy persons in the concern,
it seemed to him that it would be very easy to raise $5,000,000
or $7,000,000 to make their capital available. He concluded
by proposing a resolution appointing the following committee
to represent the bondholders, with power to add to their number: Messrs. Thomas Collier, R. Fleming, W. Grantham, M. P.,
E. Gray (Vivian, Gray & Co.), L. Messel, C. Pothonier, A. G.
Eensljaw, E. Wagg and J. Price (as repiveenling the as ociation).
short discussion fullowed, and the resolution was
passed unanimously, with the addition of the word^ "in consultation with Slessrs. Matheson & Co." The chairman, in
answer to Mr. Fleming, said they would be very happy to add
the name of Mr. DiUwyn Parrish to the committee.—iV; Y,

& Hudson— New York West Shore &
Central
Bufl'alo. At Syracuse, N. Y., on Nov. 21, Judge Kennedy, of
the Supreme Court, granted an injunction prohibiting the
New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company from
guaranteeing $50,000,000 of the new West Shore bonds. The
plaintiffs in the suit are Elizabeth B. Gere, Marshall R. Dyer,
Joseph Falter and August Falker. Altogether they represent
339 shares of New York Central stock, of which Elizabeth B.
Gere holds 269 shares, Joseph Falker & Son 50 shares, and Mr.
Dyer 10 shares. The complaint recites the terms of the DrexelMorgan plan for the practical consolidation of the New
York Central and West Shore roads, and asks that the operation
of the plan be estopped in the interests of all the stockholders
of the New York Central road. The plaintiffs allege that
" the threatened action of such defendants " is beyond the
authority conferred by the charter of the defendant corporation or the laws under which said company was or(<anized.
It is also urged that, as the New York Central and West
Shore roads run on parallel and competing lines, they cannot,
under the law, be merged or consolidated. Attention is called
to the fact that the West Shore Company propo-es to execute
a lease of its property and franchises to the New York Central
for 475 years.
The plaintiffs maintain that such a lease would
be illegal for the reason that the New York West Shore
Buffalo Company, is by the terms of its charter organized for
the period of 100 years only. In granting the temporary
injunction. Justice Kennedy ordered that the defendants
show cause in Syracuse on Nov. 28, at 10 a. m., why the injunction should not be continued.

New York West Shore & Buffalo.— At Newburg, N. Y.,
Nov. 34, this property was sold in foreclosure. No bid for less
than $23,000,000 could be accepted, and of the purchase money
$750,000 was required to be paid on the day of sale. Another
condition of the sale was that it should be subject to the claim
of the receivers for greater compensation than the $40,000
allowed each of them, as the matter should finally be decided
by the court. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan bid $33,000,000, the
amount of the upset price, and no other bid being made the
property was knocked down to him at that price. He announced that he had bought the road on behalf of J. Pierpont
Morgan, Chaunoey M. Depew and Ashbel Green. The $750,000
required was paid by them to the referee in the shape of a
certificate of deposit upon the Union Trust Company of New

week wifhout significant feature in respojt to trade matter*.
The death of Thomas A. Hendricks, Yice- President of th«
United States, haa caused deep regret, and expreesions everywhere of respect for his eminent abilities, his public and
private virtues. The event haa also caused some little uneasiness arising from the fact that any untoward occurrence
to Mr. Cleveland, the chief execuiive, would leave the Federal
government without legiil head— a sUte of sff.ira which,
however, will probably be speedily remedied on the meeting
of Congress on the 7th of December.

East India Exports. We have received from Messrs. Lyon
& Co., Bombay, a detailed statement of the exports of cotton
from East India ports for the first nine months of the year
18S5, ending September 30, showing a total export to all
foreign porta during that period of 931,808 bales.
JCTE Burrs, Bagoino, &c.— No important movement has
occurred in bagging for the past week. Trade has been of a
steady character and goods are moving quite freely, and considerable stock is being worked off. No inquiry is reported
for large parcels, the trade being confined to filling jobbing
orderi".
Prices are steady, and sellers are quoting 9e. for IJ^
lbs., 9J^c. for
\^i lbs., 10i.^c. for 2 lbs. and lie. for standard
grailes.
Butts have been in rather more demand ami some
sales are repo ted, about n,000 bales having found takers at
full figures.
Selleis are firm in their views and do not oa'e to
name le.'s than 1 ll-16(nil"iC. for paper grades and 2<i2>^c. for
qualities.

The wheat market has shown a good deal of depression in
the speculation in futures, and wheat on the spot, except
choice samples, has slightly declined. The weakness was due
to the reports by cable that indicated an early re-establishment of peace in Southeastern Europe and the attendant
decline of the speculative confidence which the outbreak of

war had
excited. The lower prices were followed by some
spasmodic business for export, but shippers generally declared
that our figures were still above their limits. To-day rumors
of an important failure on the bull side at Chicago, where the
most of the visible supply is said to be carried, caused a sharp
decline in futures, but parcels on the spot were taken more
freely at the reduction.

the regular trade has been slow and the export movement decidedly checked and today, in sympathy with the general

FoRKiGX Dry Goods.— The demand
for imported goods was
hand-to-mouth character, and light in the aggregate amount. Some fair-sized orders for spring dress goods
were, however, placed for future delivery, and moderate sales
of seasonable dress fabrics, silks and velvets were effected by
means of relatively low prices. Men's-wear woolens ruled
quiet, aside from worsted suitings, in which there was a fair
business. Linen goods were quiet and unchanged, and there
was a somewhat better demand for handkerchiefs, embroideries, laces and other specialties adapted to the coming holi-
bush.

FitiDW, p. M., November 27, 1885,
Owing to heavy rainstorms in the foro part of the week and
the intervention of a holiday (Thanksgiving Day), business in the
wholesale branches of the trade has been restricted in volume
during the period under review. There was, however, a fair
demand for certain spring and summer fabrics by package
buyers ou the spot, and very fair orders were placed in this
connection with salesmen travelmg in the West and Southwest. Staple cotton and woolen goods were mostly quiet in
first hands, but a few large transactions in the former were
stimulated by slight price concessions and "dating ahead."
The jobbing trade was adversely aflfected by the unfavorable
weather conditions alluded to above, but a fair distribution of
department goods was made in execution of orders, and a considerable business was done in specialties adapted to the
coming holiday trade. The feature of the week was a peremptory auction sale of about 700 cases white blankets, the
manufacture of the'Willowdale Company. The sale was largely
