Holding such majority, the Central people have no occasion for concern regarding the same. The Central controls their policy absolutely, decides what dividends shall be paid, and in every way is in position to regulate their affairs. As majority holder, the effort of course must be to develop the properties to the utmost, but it really has no interest in any readjustment scheme except so far as such scheme may offer advantages to itself. In the case of the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis the total outstanding amount of common and preferred stock is, roughly, $38,000,000, of which only $L1 224,000 is owned (the Lake Shore being the owning company). This is hardly one-third the whole, so that the individual holdings of the members of the Vanderbilt family are needed to ensure control. The aggregate amount of the outstanding stock of all the companies, it will be seen, is $188,873,810, and of this no less than $107,011,550 is held by the Central itself or one of the other companies. That still leaves $81,862,260 as a basis for readjustment, of which, however, $15,000,000 is Canada Southern stock and $26,705,310 Big Four stock, common and preferred. The remaining $40,096,950 is distributed among the nine issues of stock of the other companies. The separate amounts in these latter cases being so small, comparatively little buying suffices to advance prices, and hence it is not surprising that the rumors of the last few months, whether true or not, caused such a marked rise. igan Central a value of 29 million dollars more, making 187£ million dollars together, which is 78 million It a value of 158£ million dollars, and those of the Mich- more than they cost the Central. dollars seems desirable to pursue this investigation a step further, with the view to ascertaining the earnings of the companies under discussion, separately and combined, and how far they are earning or paying dividends on their respective capital stocks.

In the gross earnings we have here a substantial gain (not far from 4 million dollars) over the amounts for the corresponding periods in 1900, but the addition to the net is comparatively small, namely $204,154, more than the whole amount being contributed by the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis. remains to add that certain events of the future seem likely to add to the revenues and surplus of some of the companies. In the last report of the Chicago & North "Western it was announced that that company was building a line to Peoria which it was expected to have in operation before the close of the current calendar year. At Peoria this line will connect with the Peoria division of the Big Four and with the Lake Erie & Western, and in the course of time it ought to be possible to build up a through business via Peoria to the benefit of the roads It named. Another source of gain to some of the companies is found in the possibility of refunding maturing obligations at lower rates of interest. The Michigan Central has just renewed a 5 per cent divisional lien of the Jackson Lansing & Saginnaw at 3£ per cent, and it has $8,000,000 of 7 per cent bonds, $2,000,000 of 5 per cents and $274,000 of 8 per cents, all falling due the 1st of next May. It also has certain other amounts maturing at subsequent dates. Taking all the bonds which mature before 1910, and assuming them replaced by 3£ per cents, there would be a saving of $407,803 per annum, equal to full 2 per cent on the $18,738,000 of Michigan Central stock. The Canada Southern 5 per cent 1st mortgage for $14,000,000 will fall due January 1 1908. If renewed at 3£ per cent, the saving would be $210,000 per annum, equal to nearly 1£ per cent on the $15,000,000 of Canada Southern stock. It is not generally known that the New York Central itself has 24 million dollars of 6 and 7 per cent bonds maturing January 1 1903 and, including these, over 38 millions of bonds falling due in or before 1905, on which the saving, if refunded at 3£ per cent, will be $908,012 per annum. In this we have reference dends are paid, and but two on which no dividends were earned in the latest fiscal years. Of course the income of the different companies varies widely, the two with largest surpluses being the Lake Shore and Mr. Ingall's Big Four. The Lake Shore earned for the stock $6,658,430, or 13*46 per cent, and distributed only $3,462,655, or 7 per cent; the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis earned $2,332,542, and distributed $1,479,626 (5 per cent on the preferred shares and 3£ per cent on the common); the latter amount would be increased to $1,619,573 if the dividend on the common stock were taken at 4 per only to the New York Central's own bonds.

Mr. Morgan's firm, it will be remembered, reorganized and thus came into control through vot ing trusts or otherwise of a number of great railroad corporations, among them the Northern Pacific. Sub sequently Mr. Hill became a director in the Northern Pacific, he and his friends having purchased a large block of stock in the company. Later chiefly, it is understood, because of his belief in the possibilities of the property, Mr. Hill became a stockholder and director in the Erie. Subsequently came the joint purchase of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy by the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, and the series of events leading to the formation of the $400,000,000 Northern Securities (stock-holding) Company, in which the Harriman-Kuhn, Loeb syndicate has a minority interest. Bearing in mind that Mr. Morgan has under his control roads in which Mr. Hill has no concern, we may state the Hill-Morgan lines as follows: MORGAN-HILL, JOINT AND SEPARATE INTERESTS. r-MUes of Road.—.

Inclnding tentatively in 1901 the Missouri Kansas & Texas, though it is far from certain that close relations with that property are contemplated, the group shows an|increase of about 55 per cent since 1896. Unquestionably the moBt important event in the railroad world during the period under consideration was the somewhat sudden appearance of the Harriman-Kuhn, the Loeb syndicate as controlling voice in the railroad systems covering a vast extent of territory. Nothing indeed has equaled it in its bearing on the welfare and history of railroad enterprises in this country since Mr. Morgan's firm a few years earlier undertook similar responsibility with reference to a large portion of our railroad mileage. The Illinois Central may be said to have been the nucleus of the group, Mr. Harriman having long been largely interested in that road; but recently the syndicate named purchased and placed in trust to secure an issue of bonds (of the Railroad Securities Company) eight millions of the Illinois thus strengthening their hold on the property. Like Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co. the syndicate gained its wide influence in railroad circles through the successful reorganization of existing propCentral stock, and management.

Passing again to a consideration of the extent to which stockholders have benefited from the operations of the mills, we find the fourth quarter's distribution to have been but little better than that for the third, and consequently much less satisfactory than for the similar period of 1900. Twenty-eight of the thirty- five corporations included in our statement have declared dividends during the last quarter averaging 1*24 per cent on the capital invested, against 1-84 per cent in 1900, 2'40 per cent in 1899, 1*09 per cent in 1898 and 0-89 per cent in 1897.

We have referred so often in detail during the year to the various developments at Fall River that it would seem hardly necessary or expedient to go very deeply into the sub ject again. At the same time a brief recital of facts is not out of place at this juncture. Slow trade in print cloths at the opening of the year brought about discussion of curtailment, and before the close of March that expedient for re_ lieving the situation had been quite generally agreed upon^ went into effect, and a considerable reduction of production resulted during April and early May. But no improvement being apparent as a result of this measure, the wisdom of further curtailment or a cut in wages was considered. Be fore any definite conclusion had been reached the market improved, and large sales of cloth in June caused the subject to be dropped for tne time being. In August, however, unremunerative prices again brought to the surface the proposition to reduce wages, but Mr. Borden, by absorbing a fairly large block of print cloths and bidding for further supplies, brought about a marked advanoa in quotations. This change in the situation did not immediately cause a withdrawal of the wage-reduction idea; but subsequently, when Mr. Borden increased by 5 per cent on two occasions the compensation of his operatives, its discussion was abandoned. In fact, the hands in the mills controlled by the Manufacturers' Asso. ciation made demands for a 10-per-cent increase, and threat ened to strike unless it was granted. The mills refused to grant the advance, and lack of concurrence among the operatives prevented a strike. Mr. Borden subsequentry placed his mills upon the old schedule without causing any disturbance. — 2l.0Bl.000 * On C. Amount. Deer east $8,000 IK '$12,000 0,760 6,750 IK e.coo ..No dividend.

The large increase in operating expenses is consequent upon an lnorease In tons hauled one mile of z8-79 per oent and of freight train mileage of 32 89 per oent, against an increase in freight earnings of only 1117 per cent. The increase in freight tonnage was mainly in through traflio to and from the Vlckeburg Shreveport & Pacific Ry., whloh necessitated a dally fast freight train service, in addition to the May ' General Results— There is an lnorease In gross earnings of $205,408 or 29 70 per oent; an increase in operating expenses aud taxes of $108,057 or 21-26 per oent, and an increase In net earnings of $97,352. The lnorease of business is in.-iuly due to the opening of a through route via Shreveport with the Missouri Kansas A: Texas Ry. system, and though It has necessitated additional traiu servloe, both passenger and freight, the net results have been satisfactory. Passenger earnings show an lnorease of $85,690 or 47*7 1 per oent. Freight earnings show an increase of $110,325 or 2692 per cent.

BALANCE SHEET JCLT 31, 1901. From 30, 1901, J President Alex. C. Humphreys says in substance During the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1901 the sales of gas were , tnoreased 83i per cent, contrasting with a decrease of 3 per cent In 1899-00, and with a deorease of more than 7 per cent In 1898-99. There has been a net Increase in meters In use of 197, as against a deorease of 96 and 1,091 respectively in the two preceding years. Last year we were burdened by a long and .expensive strike; this year there bas been a material increase in the price of coal, Increasing the yearly cost by about $50,000, or 8c per thousand feet of gas manufactured. Economies, however, in other items reduced the net Increase In cost per thousand to 4o. As noted last year, about $14,000 more was charged against earnings during that year than In the preoediug year for repairs and maintenance of plant. This year a further increase of something over $4,000 has been made, or a total increase for the year of about $18,000. From this item it may be understood that the profit shown was notobtalned by neglecting the proper maintenance of plant. No cbarges were made to construction or in vestment aocounts which properly should have been made to operating aooounts. During the year $24,005 was expended for extension of plant. After providing for these extensions, there is still left a surplus of quick assets over floating debt of $51,174. There is also still in the treasury $95,000 In bonds available as additional working capital. Natural gas is selling throughout the more thiokly settled parts of Buffalo at 30o. net per thousand feet. It Is used as luel and, with Welsbaoh burners, for light. Until August 1st of this year it was selling at 27*40. Your company's illuminating gas is sold at $1 per thousand. It is evident that such competition, as long as It lasts, mut-t be difficult to meet. It Is encouraging, however, to note the notice that the Buffalo NaturalOas Co. has just published to its pations warning them to be prepared In the coldest days of the coming winter to heat their houses by other means than natural gas (see this notice on pass 1162).

For fourteen years the company has by g( od management been able to furnish a constant and ample supply of natural gas, with the exception of a slight suortage two yeais ago. We are led to give this warning for two reasons: First— The very large increase in the population of the City of Buffalo this summer, due to the Pan- American Exposition, has made an unusual draft on the gas fields just before the winter mon lis. Second— The deorease in natural pressure of the gaa has made necessary the use of large pumps to force the gas from the wells to the city This machinery has been largely added to this fall, and with each new machine is an added danger of breakage. A little coal or wood on hand at such a time will save great inoonvenienoe and possibly suffering, for if the company esoapes a shortage during the very coldest days it will oonsider itself most fortunate. .

Opinion of Counsel Dulted States Envelope Co.— Dividend Not Declared. circular to the shareholders says in substance: Your din-dors have omitted to vote the declaration of the dividend on the preferred shares which. If quarterly payments were to continue, would have been declared to-day and made payable Deo. 1, 1901. Your board believe that It is wise to decide upon the question of a dividend after the taking of inventory. Jan. 1, 1902; and perhaps hereafter declare dividends semi-annually as the by-laws and preferred stock certificates provi le; rather than quarterly, as has been the practice. The notes covering the purchase prloe of the toilet paper or tissue business obtained of the Morgan Company, whloh your company was obligated to take over under oontraot (oouosel advising that the contract is binding) have been largely reduced. This oontraot was agreed to while the promoters were the offioers'of this company, and of the existence thereof none of the present officers, exoept the parties at luterest, had a knowledge. The oontraot having been thus agreed to, this oompany carried out Its obligation by giving the notes hereinbefore mentioned; and these notes neoessitite the position herein taken. Until these notes are paid the oompany has this indebtedness to meet in partial payments provided for by the notes. Your oompany has no indebtedness other than its bonds, the notes payable above mentioned, and Its current bills. The Springfield "Republican" says that the purchase price of the Morgan business here mentioned was $500,000; that $100,000 of this was paid in cash on Jin. 1, 1900, and that These notes fall due $25,notes were given for the balance. 000 every three months, and have been regularly paid, leaving only $200,000 outstanding after payment of the $25,000 due Jan. 1, 1902. -V. 70, p. 685.

Th3 Bareau report, due to be issued on December 3, it is understood will give an estimate Awaiting this report there has as to the yield of the crop. been a general disposition shown by the trade to hold off. As to the crop movement, receipts for the week have been fairly full, although at the close advices from the Southwest were again predicting smaller arrivals. To-day there was a quiet market. The opening was at a slight advance. Daring the day, however, there developed an easier undertone. There was scattered selling by local longs to liquidate contracts, Eroinpted in part by the movement of the crop for the week eing slightly in excess of general expectations. The close was steady at unchanged prices to 6 points decline for the day. Cotton on the spot has been quiet but steady at 8c. for middling uplands.

The local trade in making purchases has continued to operate along conservative lines, showing little inclination to anticipate requirements to any extent, prices have been well maintained, and for some brands of spring patents slightly better values have been obtained. Rye Buckwheat flour has flour has been unchanged and steady. been in moderate demand and firmer. Corn meal has been firm and higher. Speculation in wheat for future delivery has continued on a moderately extensive scale,and during the week there was a fractional improvement inprices. The movement of the springwheat crop continued large, as shown by the daily receipts at Duluth and Minneapolis, and the American visible supply, according to the published figures, showed another large increase. Despite, however, the bearish statistical development, the undertone of the market has held steady, reflecting in part the continued firmness shown by the coarser grains, and also due to the reports from the winter-wheat belt saying that climatic conditions were not wholly favorable for the new crop. European cable advices have reported fairly steady markets. Exporters have been fair buyers in the spot markets at steady prices; their purchases have included a moderate amount of wheat for shipment to France. It is figured that the imports of wheat into European countries from August 1st to November 9 show an increase of about 27,000,000 bushels as compared with the same period last year. To-day there was a fairly active and higher market on steady cable advices and unfavorable reports from the winter -wheat belt.

The holiday has interfered with jobbing business, but sales from second hands have been of fully average extent. Woolen Goods,— The clothing and cloaking trades have been much in evidence this week in their efforts to purchase goods for quick delivery in both wcolens and worsteds.

Staple varieties have had the chief call and for prompt deliveries advances of 5 per cent have been occasionally paid.
