arises from the time taken in getting returns from distaat offices.

to make purchases.
It is not known to what extent Mr. Edison
has been successful in applying the electric light to thoroughly
practical purposes
but numerous experiments are being made in
London, and those qualified to express an opinion say that it will
be only possible unless Mr. Edison has made a grand discovery
to make use of it for illuminating large open spaces, which are
numerous in large towns such as exist in this country and on tha
Continent. Ia front of the Mansion Ilouse in this city tberx is •
large open space, which up to a late hour at night Is crowded
with vehicular traffic and it has been decided by the Court of
Common Council, this week, to make the experiment of lighting
this important thoroughfare by electricity.
The Metropolitan
Board of Works are also trying experiments in several parta of
London, and there seems to be no doubt that the application of
the electric light will be made to the open spaces io whieli
increased light is necessary to the public convenience and safety.
But we have yet to learn that there is any economy in the process, or that the electric current can be broken at fixed poiota at
which a light is necessary. This is supposed to be Mr. Edison's
secret, which he is now in the act of patenting in this country;
and naturally the shareholders in gas oompaniea are anxioaa to
know if such an important result haa been attained. The gaa
companies have, however, yet to act their part; gaa abares have
for many years been paying large dividends, viz., 10 per cent per

Catted States Bonds._The salient point in the market for
S. Government securities is the improvement in tone which
has taken place since the elections.
It is a simple matter of fact
in the recent elections issues were involved which bore
rectly upon the probable future worth of U. S. securities, and
'>se issues having been decided, as is believed, in favor of
istaining the Government credit, the price of bonds has
vanced.

Kallroad and Rllscellaneous Stocks.
The stock market
has been quite variable, and closes to-day with a ratlier weaJc
tone.
The bubble in Western Union which inHate<l the price to
103 has been followed by a collapse to 93^ this afternoon, with
the last sale at 94f and the public still remains in doubt whether
the surplus will be "capitalized" or not. Northwest preferred
and common have been decidedly strong on the favorable report
of October earnings, and the expectation of a dividend on the preferred in December, if not on both cla-sses of stock.
Wabash,
Union Pacific, Hannibal & St. Joseph, Kansas Pacific, and some
of the other "fancies," have at times shown mnch strength.
Erie has been among the weakest stocks, and it is stated that the
shares received from London, with assessment receipts attached,
have not been accepted at the office of the Fanners' Loan & rust
Company, on the ground that they were "irregular," not being
properly stamped, and they will probably have to be sent back to
London to be properly stamped.

ANNUAL
REPORTS.
&
Eastern Illinois Railroad Company— Chicago
Danrille & Ylnconnes (Re<K>rganized).
(For the fiaeal year ending August 31, 1878.)
The first annual report of this company, just issued, contains
its decision.
cases appealed to the Supreme Court at Washington are
as follows : Claim of Hinckley Locomotive Works for $15,793 75 ;
claim of Michael Schall for $14,563 75 claim of Southwestern
Car Co. for $12,750 00.

While there has been a large increase in the tonnage, the
revenue from freight has not increased proportionately. The
local business shows a slight increase in tonnage and a decrease,
in revenue. The foreign business shows a very flattering increase
although handled at a very low rate per ton. This class of
freight is principally competitive business. The
business of your road was seriously injured during the winter of
'77 and '78, by the heavy and continued rains, which made the
roads leading to the various stations utter impassable for many
weeks. The coal business was also greatly diminished by the
lack of demand for coal, occasioned by the general depression
and stagnation of business of all kinds, and in consequence of
the open winter.

The principal part of the increase in the capital in 1877 is in
the guaranteed and preferential, as distinguished from the ordiThe
nary, share capital, and in the loans and debenture stock.
amount of the guaranteed and preferential capital was in 1877
£337,048,153, or an increase of £8,140,161 as compared with 1876,
while the amount of the loans and debenture stock was £171,969,663, or an increase of £4,671,761 as compared with 1876,

comparison a ftw weeks back, it remains true, as we noticed
last year, that the ordinary capital of railway companies, although
it is swoller. to some extent by nominal additions, is, nevertheless,
increasing very slowly in comparison with the guaranteed and
preferential capital and the loan and debenture capital.
In 1870
the ordinary capital of the companies was £239.282,150, so that
the increase in 1877 to £265,041,233 amounts to £35,759,083, or
about 15'6 per cent. In the same period, however, the guaranteed and preferential share capital increased from £158,692,084
to £237,048,153. an increase of £78,356,069, and about 49-4 per
cent and the loans and debenture stock increased from £141,934,439 to £171,969,602, an increaee of £30,0.35,333, and about 31-3
per cent.
The transformation of "leans" into "debenture stock," which
has been going on for some years, remains a most important fact
in railway progres?.
The loans are now so small in the aggregate as to be thoroughly manageable, and there is little more
gain
in this way.

amounted to about 2'4 per cent. Those are the net earnines from
railway working alone. The corresponding fagures, including the
entire earnings of railway companies from mis cellanenue sources,
exhibit much the same changes, although the amounts and percentages are rather larg-er. The gross receipts were £63. 073,328,

TRAFFIC, WORKING EXPENSES
[Vol XXVn.
£171,969,602
AND REVENUE.
The increase of receipts apparently is divided in pretty equal
proportions between the passenger and goods traffic.
The
receipts from passenger traflio amounted to £26,534,110, or £370,559 more than in 1876. The receipts from goods traffic amounted
to £34,109 947, or £33-5 630 more than in 1876.
It appears that
these results have been obtained along with a larger proportionate increase of passenger train mileage tlian of goods train
mileage. The passenger train mileaee was 109,675,000 njiles,
or 3,750,000 miles (being di per cent) more ilian in 1876. The
goods train mileage was 107,400,000 miles, or 1,301,000 miles
(being nearly 1 15 per cent) more than ia 1876.
The receipts

in 1877,
receipts per

1877. The increase in the passenger traffic has thus, in all
probability, not been beneficial in the way of an increase of net
earnings to the railway companies, the increase of 3^ per cent in
the working being far mote than double the percentage increase
of passenger receipts.

which the committee appointed to confer with the St. Loui

The railroad company proposes to take up the maturing bonds

years, and are to bear 7 per cent interest for the first three year
and 8 per cent interest thereafter. The railroad company agree
to pay into a sinking fund, for the redemption of the new bond?
$10,000 per annum from Oct. 1, 1833, and is to have the privileg
of paying off the total issue, at par and interest, at any tim
after giving six months' notice.
The report of the committt
was unanimously adopted, and the proposition of the St. Lou
Kansas City & Northern Railroad Company was accepted. TL

St. Louis Alton & Terre Haute Indianapolis & St. Louis.In regard to the injunction against paj-ment of coupons by th
I. & St. L. company, Mr. W. Bayard Cutting, President of the St
L. A. & T. H. company, issued a circular addressed to the firs
mortgage bondholders of the I. & St. L. Co., that " the injunclioi
referred to in a nptice to you from Mr. H. B. Hurlbut, President
does not, as stated, restrain the payment on coupons of all firs
mortgage bonds above named, but only of the coupons on such c
these bonds as are held by certain corporations specially desig
nated in the injunction, and the order does not afFc);t the rights

St. Louis & Sontlicastern.— At Nashville, Nov. 1, Judg
Baxter rendered a decree which provider for the sale of the Ten
nessee Division of the St. Louis & Southeastern RR., on tbe Is
day of January, 1879, unless tlie sum of $8,487,047 is paid to th:
creditors of the road on or before that date.
Last July the Kec
tucky division of the road was ordered to be sold on the same de;
and it is likely that both decrees will be carried out. The credit
ors of the road hold four thousand nine hundred and twenty-tw
bonds of $1,000 each, bearing 7 per cent, gold, interest and due
1903. The interest on these bonds not having been paid for fou
years, the sum of $1,358,140 is due thereon
and t)iis bearing &•
interest of 6 per cent will, on January 1, 1879, make the furthe
sum of $463,615 due, making the total amount of interest due o
the debt $1,831,755.
W. B. Reese, commissioner, is appointed by the court t
make the sale. The amonnt realized from the sale is tobeaf
plied, first, to the payment of the costs of the suit second, to th
payment of the amount adjudged to be due to the holders of tk

reports have been published together, although the Westerii
Union had its principal office in Racine and the management hai

of the Western Union Company, valued at £436,500, and $1,993.
340 of the stock of the same company, valued at £11,950. Thesf
two amounts of stock— the $2,000,100 held liy the St. Paul Com
pany and that in the Glasgow Bank nearly make up the full
amount of $4,000,000 of the company's stock. Growing out o
this fact, it is likely that the St. Paul Company will become th(
owner of all the Western Union stock, for it is worth nothing t(
anybody else and that the auxiliary road will come under th(
same ostens'ble, as it now is under the same actual, management
and that the fiction of two separate companies will disappear.
