The editorial topics discussed in the Supplement are "Water Obligations Outside Debt Limits Illegal" and "Alabama's New Constitution." annual report, submitted last week, made such a strikingly favorable showing that it was natural to look for an enlarged distribution. Only one previous semi-annual payment has been made on the common shares thus far, namely the 1$ per cent paid last June. Altogether, therefore, 3 \ per cent will have been paid out of the income of the late fiscal year. Actually over 6 per cent was earned during the twelve months, as we showed in our review of the report, and this, too, after a contribution of $900,000 to Special Betterment Account. The 3J per cent dividend on the $102,\ 000,000 of THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. Nothing has transpired during the week of sufficient importance to affect the Wall Street market except reports current on Thursday and Friday which, aided by a covering movement, led to decided advances all through the list. Prior to that, the market continued in a sagging state under the influence of previous unfavorable developments. There were some incidents which if a less critical spirit had prevailed might have stimulated prices. Among these were the increased dividend of the Atchison, good reports of railroad earnings, and the activity and strong statisBut the tical position of the iron and steel markets. recently, in the take haa had to physic the public shape of accumulated stocks of products by industrials, unexpected shortage in their earnings, and declines in the market values of their securities, has, for moment at least, largely banished venturesomeness. What has further tended to make this lesson severe the LVol. LXXIII. amount common stock The will call for $3,570,000. above the 5 per cent paid on the preferred stock was $6,765,839, so that even after allowing in full for the 3£ per cent on the common stock, a surplus balance will remain on the operations of the twelve months in the large sum of $3,195,837. The action in raising the dividend has been criticized as lacking in conservatism, but it would seem as if distributing only a little more than half the amount available for dividends was hardly available for the dividends deserving of very severe characterization. Of course the fact that the corn crop in the Southwest has proved a failure the present season suggests caution, for in the past the varying yield of this corn important part in the ups and Bat on the point whether the loss in the corn tonnage is likely to be offset by gains in other directions, the directors must be credited with better sources of knowledge than the outsider. It is not a conclusive reply by any means to say that previous experience does not support the idea that the shortage will be made good, for never before has a crop failure been coincident with such wonderful accrop has played an downs of this property. has been the fact that notwithstanding prices of the products the companies referred to deal in have been high the past year, the published reports show tivity and prosperity of general trade as exists at presthe annual report exthat the profits have been materially short of the ent.

But whether Besides, though rates are low, or not this hopeful view shall be confirmed by subseprevails at present. the outlook is by no means fully assured. Not un- quent events, one thing should not be forgotten the likely, later in the season, when the return flow of dividend now declared comes not out of the new or currency begins, money will become more settled and current year's earnings, but out of last year's earning?, dependable. Yet so loDg as the Government revenue the results of which are known, and have been decontinues to be in excess of disbursements and thus clared. One other fact should be borne in mind for nets a material surplus, and the Sub-Treasury is all the portion of the new fiscal year which has so far the time absorbing currency, while the difficulty elapsed, the company has already a large amount to which attends the purchase of Government bonds in- its credit to offset possible loss in the later months of creases and foreign exchange periodically hardens, a the fiscal year, the returns for July and August 1901 little nervousness with reference to the future is not having shown a gain of $1,753,682 in gross and of $1,unnatural.

Interest this time in the monthly report of the Agricultural Bureau at "Washington centres chiefly in the showing as regards corn. The Bureau raises its whole country only a trifle, making it now 52*1, against 51 '7 September 1. This compares with 78*2 on October 1 of last year, and with 82-7 and 82-0 respectively in 1899 and 1898. The Bureau reports an improvement of 2 points durgeneral average for the Kansas in points and of 4 and Nebraska, of 3 points in Ohio Iowa, but as this still leaves the average of Kansas and Missouri only 21 and 31 respectively, of Nebraska 35, and of Indiana and Illinois 51, there is not the least danger that the Bureau has made the showing As a matter of fact the State reports too favorable. seem all to take a more encouraging view of the prosing the month in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, day loans were at 3J per cent and at 3 per cent, with On Thursthe bulk of the business at 3£ per cent. day transactions were at 3£ per cent and at 3 per cent, with the majority at 3i per cent.

Some money is placed by foreign bankers for sixty to ninety days on choice collateral at 4£ per cent, and contracts by domestic lenders on this grade of security for longer periods are accepted at 4£ per cent. The quoted rates for loans on good mixed collateral are 4|@4f per cent for all dates from sixty days to six months.

Disturbance, not acute but unusually protracted, on the European financial markets in the past few weeks, has had more or less to]do with the simultaneous depression on our own. The foreign unsettlement has been expressed injarious ways, apart from a general lowering of values. What may, perhaps, be called its characteristic features were a sharp fall in British consols to the neighborhood of the year's low price, a heavy break in active copper shares at Paris, a rise in money and a sharp fall in French exchange on London, and an unexpected advance of the Imperial while short was a and there was no change @4 On Wednesday long remained unaltered German Bank rate, apparently to protect the Berlin in cables. while short advanced one- eighth of a cent, to 4 85£@ money market.

Germany must work" itu way out of its season of liquidation as theJUnitod States did after 1894. It is observed, is should also be observed that the war is costing today more than at any time since its beginniug.

How far it was warranted is not altogether easy to judge; Lord Roberts, in his speech of last Tuesday, is authority for the flat assertion that there has been no mismanagement or neglect. But it is easy to see how bad an influence must be exerted on financial confidence by such public expressions of at the distrust. The end war will change this part of the situation, and will change it very quickly. As for the French position, it should be observed that the shock of the recent "copper scare" came on a market more of the strongly intrenched at present in real resources than any in the world, except, perhaps, that of the United States. It is true that recent gold withdrawals from the Bank of France have been moderately heavy ; the institution's gold reserve has decreased some $18,000,000 in the past two months. But this fact must reasonably be taken in connection with the further fact that at the opening of 1901 the Bank's gold holdings exceeded all records in its history, having in fact increased no less than $100,000,000 within a year. Only seven months ago, in our issue of March 30, reviewing the annual report of the Bank of France, we cited the words of the President, that " so great a [gold] reserve imposes on us largely increased expenses.'7 Whatever may be the true significance of the somewhat disturbed position of the Paris market during the past few days, these facts are enough to dispel any notion of real distress. At most the situation may possibly put a stop to plans for early importation of gold from France to America, or may cause some drain on the London market, where advances of Even in this last matter it Paris capital are large. is worth noticing that cable advices during the present week have been to the effect that Paris, even while withdrawing capital from England, has been utilizing the cheaper rate of London exchange for new remittances. The case of Germany is of course rather different, and the deipatches indicate that the Austrian market's position is more or less analagous to Germany's. It is clear, from trustworthy advices, that the series of bank disasters, some of them very discreditable, has unsettled confidence and emphasized the unfortunate influence of the German harvest shortage. The President of the Imperial Bank, at the time the official rate was lately raised, himself explained the action on the ground that the joint-stock banks were now so exceptionally cautious in making discounts that the season's demands on the Imperial institution were likely to be unusually great. This, it will be degree, from what has occurred during the corresponding period in the United different, save possibly in States. NEW YORE CENTRAL AND ITS PROG RE of the New York The more the annual report Central & Hudson River Railroad Company is ex- amined, the more favorable it appears. It is very natural in taking up an annual statement to pay particular regard to the changes as compared with the year preceding. But where the view is confined to such a limited period, one is very apt to lose sight of controlling features of policy or to fail to note the real progress making. Deviations from year to year are necessarily less marked and less striking than where a longer period of time is covered, and they may also arise from a variety of causes, some entirely beyond the control of the management. In this way tempo- and revenues, either up or down, frequently assume an importance which they do not merit. Or again they may serve to obscure rary fluctuations in traffic or entirely to conceal for the time being the lying trend of clusive results affairs. A under- retrospect to yield con- must hence be extended sufficiently far back.

With reference to the new policy inaugurated in the control of connecting roads, there have been no additional developments. This policy, aB pointed out by us on a previous occasion, evidently contemplates the concentration of all the Vanderbilt mileage in the territory between the seaboard and Chicago and St. Louis under the control or ownership, direct or indirect, of the Central. new policy may be said to date The from 1898, when the Central acquired the greater part of the capital stock of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and the Michigan Central railroads by issuing in exchange This was followed, it therefor its collateral bonds. will be remembered, by the acquisition of stock in the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company, the Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company and the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company, and by the lease of the Boston & Albany Railroad.

BANKERS AND TRUST CO'8. —The sales of bank stocks at auction this week aggregate Transactions in trust company stocks reach a total of 71 shares. No sales of either class have been made at the Stock Exchange. Ten shares of stock of the National City Bank of Brooklyn were sold at 291%, a gain of 11% points over the last sale price in March. In the "curb" market there has been some inquiry for stock of the National City Bank (N. Y .), with sales at 600-601. 80 shares. ; — Francis A. Palmer, the retiring President of the National Casimir Tag, President of the German- American Bank, has been elected President of the German Savings Bank succeeding the late D. H. Moller. The "Manila American," in a recent issue, announced the opening of an American bank in that city September L The capital is $100,000 and the charter is under Spanish banking laws. The projector, Major H. B. Mulford, claims that the Spooner bill does not place any obstacle in the way of conducting a legitimate banking house in the Philippine!?, —The 15,000,000 marks 'S}4 per cent bonds of the City of Frankfort, Germany, which were brought out by Speyer & Co., were on Wednesday admitted to the list of securities on the New York Stock Exchange, dealings to begin October 15. In admitting these bonds to the regular list, the Stock Exchange authorities, according to their custom, have for the purposes of calculation based the quotation on a unit of dollars for foreign currency, and have adopted an arbitrary rate of 4 marks to the $1. This is equal to 25 cents per mark, which is an overvaluation, the actual value of the mark at the ruling rate of exchange being, roughly, 23;i cents. As a oonsequence the Stock Exchange price will be lower than the price at which the bonds were brought out. This latter was 96, which is the equivalent of 91-63 under the Stock Exchange method of quoting. In other words, bonds sold now at an official Stock Exchange quotation of 91-68 will bring the same amount of money as was originally paid when the bonds were sold under Speyer & Co.'s prospectus.

Parks, of the First National Bank of Union City, reviewing generally the banking condition in the United States. [From our own correspondent.] London, Saturday, September 28, 1901. The "break" in copper and copper shares in New York has made a very bad impression upon all the Stock Exchanges of Europe and has given rise to various pessimistic rumors during the week. Both in London and in Paris there has been very little belief at any time in the permanent success of the Amalgamated Copper Company, owing to the failure of all previous attempts to control the copper markets; but it is recognized everywhere that the task of the company has been made extremely difficult by the great depression in trade throughout Europe and especially by the severe crisis in Germany. Dp to about a year ago the consumption of copper was immense upon the Continent, and particularly in Germany. Now distrust in that country is so great that the banks are restricting in every direction the accommodation they give to their customers; and consequently business is greatly lessened. In particular, the consumption of copper has fallen off; and as a natural result the imports of copper from the United States into Europe have declined materially during the year. That being so, the general impression amongst the most competent observers in London, Paris and Berlin is that the price of copper has been kept up too high, and that a very material reduction must take place if the trade is to be once more put upon a proper footing. Every department of the Stock Exchange has been made more or less apprehensive by the " break." Buying has been very much restricted, while "bear" sale3 have been on a considerable scale. The sharp fall in Rio Tintos has likewise produced a bad impression in Paris, where they are held upon a very great scale, and the general weakness has caused some small decline even in the gold- mining department. Trade upon the Continent was already very bad, and this new influence has made it worse. In Germany particularly there are failures reported every day and the distrust has been increased. In Russia the crisis also continues; and though very little is really known of the internal condition of the Empire, it is believed that the crops in Sauthern Russia are very bad. The shipping trade here at home is complaining loudly. Owing to the large number of ships chartered by the Government in consequence of the South African war, shipowners for a long time did a very profitable business and freights ruled high. Now it is said that freights have fallen eo low that it is impossible in most cas98 to make a profit. It is alleged, indeed, that in some cases shipowners are carrying grain from America and Argentina merely as ballast; and in almost every other direction there are likewise complaints that the check to trade is deepening. The money market has been less affected than might have been anticipated by the uneasiness created by the "break" in copper, mainly because of the immense amount of capital 765 now being employed by the leading French banks London, in evtrytln iniu that the French banks have withdrawn from that <• mutry the capital they were employing there; and as there is an entire unwillingness to engage In new enterprise at bomo, and as, moreover, the Russian loan is not to b<- brought oat until some tirue next, year, the French banks find it extremely difficult ney profitably. Every day, therefore, they to use their In are increasing the sums they are emplo> n g In London. London this week there has been some Increase in the demand, owing to the Stock Exchange settlement, the paymenta of instalments on recent issues, and the movements that always take place at the end of the quarter; but the beet opinion is that rates will fall away again early next week, that in fact unless large gold shipments take place the money market will continue extremely easy. In France there are preparations being made for a few small loans to Denmark, the Chinese Province of Yunan, and so on; but these are trifling compared with the immense accumulation of idle money; and except in London there seems at the moment no outlet for the accumulation. In Germany, while the banks are restricting in every possible way, the accommodation they give to their customers, the Imperial Bank has been both discounting and lending in a most liberal way and is gaining golden opinions throughout the Empire. The action of the other banks in limiting accommodation is necessarily placing almost all traders in a most difficult position, and consequently the fear is that even more failures may take place. It is not surprising, then, that half a million sterling in gold has been withdrawn this week from the Bank of England for Germany, for obviously precautions have become necessary. Besides, at this time of the year there is always a large outflow of money from Berlin to the agricultural districts; and the banks have had to make preparations for them. It i« not thought, however, that very much will go to Germany, and consequently it is not expected that there will be any change in tne discount rate of the Bank of England unless gold shipments on a considerable scale begin for New York. Meantime, the value of money is rising in India, the Bank of Bengal having this week increased its rate from 4 per cent to 5 per cent; and it is expected that the Bank of Bombay will soon follow. The India Council is selling its drafts It offered for tender on Wednesday 40 lacs and fairly well, the applications exceeded 994 lacs. The whole amount offered for tender was allotted at about Is. 3 31-321. per rupee. Later in the day a small amount was sold by special contract at Is. 4d. per rupee.

Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. {Report fur the. year ending June .:0, 1901.) President J. L. Grreatsinger says in substance; General Results.—The lack of adequate electric power due to the destruction by fire of the Ridgewood power station on Dec. 4, 1900, necessitating the temporary abandonment of electric operation on some of the elevated lines, and the loss of equipment by fire in February and April ,have, especially during the last and most profitable months of the fiscal year, prevented a larger gain than Is shown in the company's revenue. Notwithstanding, however, the somewhat crippled condition of the company in respect to power and equipment, the gross earnings manifest a constant and gratifying increase, which justifies the confident hope that, with the above needs fully supplied, there will result gross and net earnings that will satisfy the most sanguine of the stockholders. Improvements, Etc.— An extension has been built upon Union St., from Ninth Ave. to Court St., 161 miles of double track, but was not operated during the year pending the settlement of certain legal complications. The equipment of the elevated lines with third rail for operation by electricity has been pushed, and of a total mileage, including third track, yards and sidings, of 68 miles, only 13 miles remains to be laid. Contracts have also been let for a new power station for the operation of elevated lines, and to provide additional power for surface needs, at Third Ave. and First St. It is confidently expected that the installation of this power plant, together with six sub- stations for converting the high tension alternating current to the direct current, will approximately double the power-generating capacity at present controlled by the compaay. In the meantime the company has contracted for all the surplus power obtainable from the various companies generating electricity in the city of Brooklyn. During the latter part of the past year, as a measure of future economy in operation, large sums were judiciously expended in bettering the condition of roadway and track and in bringing up the equipment of cars and motors to a higher standard of efficiency. The equipment will be shortly increased by 150 combination and 50 open cars for use on surface lines, and 50 motor cars for the elevated lines, to gether with the necessary electrical equipment. Further additions to winter and summer equipment will soon be contracted for in advance of the company's requirements. Bonds. During the fiscal year the company disposed of the bonds in the treasury which had been retained for construction purposes on acquired lines. The proceeds and other cash on hand are sufficient to pay for all outstanding contracts for additions and improvements, including the conversion of the elevated steam railroads into electric railroads, and furnishing equipment and power therefor. Taxes. Tbe total amount charged to taxes during the fiscal year is $754,626. In addition, the company paid upwards of $300,OUO for paving and repairing streets, removing snow and ice, carrying policemen and firemen free, lighting public streets, etc., all of which payments are in the nature of taxation. All taxes have been paid as they have become due, with the exception of those in litigation, consisting chiefly of the special franchise tax. do not object to paying our just proportion of public taxation, but the laws should te simplified and made more equal in their enforcement. Personal Damage Claims —The expenses of the year were Iaigely swelled by the payments in cases arising out of claims for personal injuries. These aggregated $971. 86s. The legal and claim department expenses in these damage cases were $172,095 additional, or a total of $1,143,902, which is nearly 10 per cent of the tot-tl rectipts of the operating company. Of the payments for damages, only $371v906 were on account of accidents of the fiscal year, the remainder having been expended in cases arising out of accidents of previous years running back to 1895. Nearly half the total amount, namely, $429,553, was paid on account of accidents happening during the year of the strike of the company's employes. These figures are sufficiently serious to arrest attention, not only of your stockholders, but of the public generally. large part of these excessive payments is unjustly exacted from the company by conditions which should oe the concern of every good citizen, and which, if not mitigated, will not only pollute the fountain of justice, but poison the morals of the community. — — We -V.71, $16,999,295 Equipment Note.—The Item 374,097 6,487,318 Total groes earnings.. 7,620,128 Total Beoond mortgage 5s...

L Coleman snys in part: Starting with twentv ei«ht Meyole factories, the manufacture of bicycles has been gradually concentrated In ten factories to meet the changing conditions of the business, also to reduce the co-it of rnanuKaoh year theie has been a concentration of celling departrlng, ments, and now we have arranged three general sales departments, in New York. Chicago and Han ETnnolsoo, respectively, eaob one of which will sell all our mahen of Meyoles in Its own territory. The manufacturing and selling of bicycles will be under the direction of one olllcer. With the adoption of this new policy, the trreatesG eoonomv will be reached, and a saving of not loss th *iOO,000 assured. The bicycle business of 1901 was disappointing from va'ious causes, i,ot least of which wa* the stormy weather of March, April and May. m The automobile department has been gradually developing, and is a profit paying basis. O ir policy was not to oiler vehicles for sale until we could produce them as good or better than others. At now on our factory in Indianapolis the Waver!? our electric automobile is manufactured, and the adoption of the Sperry battery for Its motive power has placed it in the first rank. At Toledo, Ohio, we have the largest and finest automobile factory in the world, at which Is manufactured our steam automobile, the "Toledo." The Automobile <fe Cycle Parts Co. (V. 72, p 234) is proving a success and is already upon a dividend-paying bants. The National Battery Co owning the Sperry Battery, has more orders and contraots on its books than it can fill in the next six months. The Amerioan Wood Rim Co., to which we sold our wood rim plant at Plymouth, Ind., and in which we are stockholders, is In a flourishing condition, and paid on the past year's business a dividend of 10 per cent. The Auto Street Sweepper Co., in which we own a oon'rolllng interest, is a new enterprise and promises to be a profitable one. Several of the factories discontinued as bicycle factories have been utilized for the manufacture of automobiles aod batteries; the balance has been sold or rented, so at the present time we have bu' one factory that Is stanalng unoocupied and Id e. Our autjmoblles nave met wiih favor, and the produot of both types Is now about 50 per week, and gradually increasing. The gasoline type of wagon is perfected and will soon be ready for the market. , In connection with the foregoing should be read the offistatement in the Chronicle- of March 16, 1901, pages 536 cial INCOME ACCOUNT OF BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT CO.

Western Union Telegraph Company. (Report for the year ended June 30 1901 J President Tuomas T. Ejkert says in suos'ance: General Results. Of the increase of $1 595.5S1 in the total revenues for the year, $885,503 came from regular commercial messages, press despatches and election returns, $363,072 from leased wires, and the balance of $347,006 from sundry other sources, The total expenses show an increase over 19J0 of $1,075,697. This was caused chiefly by the enlarge- — of the plant and the greater volume of the business handled. The average tolls for the messages transmitted by the company's employes were 30'9 cents, and the average cost was 25'1. The number of messages transmitted was 3,439,266 greater than for 1900. Construction. For construction $1,461,143 was expended. This outlay covers only new and additional lines and wires, the cost of all reconstruction being always included in the general expenses of the company before a balance is struck; 884 miles of poles were added to the company's system during the year. There was an increase of 39,613 miles of wire. Ooe-half of this increase was of hard drawn copper wire, which was put up on long circuits, 338 additional offices were established. An outlay of $5,000 for patents was made. Surplus. The surplus account of $9,319,286 represents the undivided profits of the company. Tnis amount has been invested from year to year as it has been earned in new lines, real estate and other valuable assets.

The actual increase of the cost of maintenance and structures approximates, therefore, $390,000. of which $336,934 56 appears in the items of "renewals of rails" and "renewals of ties." "Repairs of roadway" increased $^32,246 74, largely due to additional commercial sidings laid during the year and to greater cost of material. " Buildings ani structures" and "docks and wharves" decreased $147,260 52 and $215,435 17, respectively, due in both cases to the fact that extensive improvement work in these classes was under way and included in opera ing expenses during the previous fiscal year. The maintenance of equipment accounts increased $1,120,053 58, or 20 per cent over the previous year, the principal items being $649,516 11 on account of locomotives, $428,441 72 on account of passenger cars and $220,402 43 on account of freight cars, offset in part by a decrease of $286,725 84 in re1 In pass. aerv'e),secmlle- age In Item next aoove.. 359,117 1901.

Entire System East of Buffalo Excepting the Boston & Albany Railroad. The gross earnings, freight earnings and passenger earnings for the fiscal year enoing June 30, 1901, were the largest in the history of the company. The earnings from freight traffic were $34,810,513 18, an increase of $537,372 13, or 1'6 per cent, over last year, and $5,530,377 56, or 18-9 per cent, over 1898-9. The revenue tonnage moved during the year decreased 183,374 tons, or 5 per cent. The ton mileage decreased 81,024,29u tons, or 1*8 per cent, but the rate per ton per mile increased from 5-6 mills to 5-8 mills, or 3 per cent. The earnings per freight train mile were $2 11, as against $2 03 last year, $1 88 in 1898-9, and $1 83 in 1897-8, an increase of 28 cents, or i5 per cent, over the last-named period. The earnings per mile of road were $12,304 97, or 1*1 per cent increase. As compared with 1898-9, the increase was $1,286 11, or 103 per cent; and with 1897-8 it was $ ,840 59, or 17-4 per cent. A marked feature of the year's traffic was the im- - t" i provement in tonnage in the relatively high-class freights, such as fruits and vegetables, milk, live stock, etc. The earnings from passenger traffic were $16,738,344 13, an increase of $1,274,050 37, or 8-2 per cent, over last year, and $2,857,829 53, or 20*6 per cent, over 1898-9. Earnings pairs of floating equipment. Included in the repairs of locomotives are twenty-one new locomotives purchased or built at the shops, representing an aggregate expense of $282,355 64. Under the head of passenger cars are included seventynine new cars purchased or t uilt at the shops, at an aggregate cost of $247,339 54; and under the head of freight cars seventy-five new cars, at an aggregat- cost of In 1899-190", there were no charges for new equipment corresponding o the above. The cost of handling the traffic increased $1,504,299 53. Of this sum the largest items are: $298,779 32 for enginemen for fuel for locomotives, |65,343 19 for other locomotive supplies. $89,868 60 for services of train crews and $103,130 61 for train supplies; $145,468 95 for station employes and $205,785 78 for rents of tracks, yards and terminals. As a partial offset to these increases, and as a result of the recent additions te the equipment, the net payment to other companies for use of their cars has decreased $306,423 56, or 53 per cent. The increase in enginemen, roundhousemen. train crews and station force is due to the employment of additional men to handle increasing business and to an increase in rates of pay during the year. The increase in fuel and otter locomo'ive supplies is due to additional engine mileage, which increased during the year 2,308,988 miles in all branches of the service, and also to the advance in the prices of coal and other supplies. and loundhousemen, $562,352 48 FUNDED DEBT.

The control of this company, operating between Boston and Portland, and of the International Steamship Co., operating between Boston and provincial ports, has been acquired by Charles W.

The Dorchf s*er, Jamaica Plains and Brookline, however, are being supplied as nsual. The Addicks interests claim that whereas their contracts (see V. 70, p. 483) call for 16 candle power gas at 20 cents a thousand feet, they are asked to pay 25 cents a thousand feet for gas of 19- candle power, the New England Company doing the enriching which they themselves preferred to do. It is thought that this dispute may hasten a settlement of the long-standing differences regarding the Addicks companies and so facilitate the contemplated reorganization of the New England Company.— V. 72, p. 1241. & Cars in Company's Service.

The course of prices has been erratic, with the tone of the market neivous and unsettled. After the buying induced by the unfavorable Bureau report issued last week was satisfied, the market hesitated, and during tbe first half of the week prices manifested a tendency to sag. The movement of the crop showed a moderate increase, weather conditions in the South were generally favorable and the crop news in some instances was more encouraging. Operators who had bought on the Bureau report endeavored to liqui date and realize profits, but they found only a light demand. Daring the second half of the week the market again turned stronger; following the Liverpool market. The statistical position abroad appears to be decidedly strong. Available supplies are small and the indications are that spinners have only very light reserve stock upon which to fall back. Reports from the South state that holders of cotton are firm in their views and that their financial condition is such as to enable them to carry their cotton and to force buyers to meet their views as to prices. To-day there was a moderately active and unsettled market. At the opening, prices were lower, then followed a reflecting disappointing foreign advices moderate advance on buying, largely for Southern account. During the afternoon, however, under realizing sales by room traders part of this improvement was lost. The close was steady at a net decline for the day of 3@6 points. Cotton on the spot has advanced slightly, closing at 8 7-16c. for middling uplands. The rates on and off middling, as established Nov, 21, 1900, by the Revision Committee, at which grades other than middling may be delivered on oontraot, are as follows.

This feature is telling against the re-order demand, as it is making wholesale clothiers late in showing their sample garments and in testing the spring market for them. New business has been of quite indifferent dimensions in the aggregate, and has again been chiefly for staple varieties. These are frequently off the market for the time being, owing to their oversold condition and backwardness in delivery. The general tone of the market is firm, although there is still some irregularity in fancies. The overcoating The Fall River 1900. Week. Since Jan.

Hull, City Treasurer, hue regular and City Supple- called for our subscribers. payment Alabama.— Revised Constitution.— The Governor has appointed Monday, Nov. 11, as the day on which the new revised Constitution of the State, recently framed by a Constitutional Convention, will be submitted to a vote of the people for ratification. On page 2 of our State and City Supplement, issued to-day, we treat editorially the features of the new instrument bearing on debt and taxation. Connecticut. Constitutional Convention Authorized.— At the election held October 7 the proposition to hold a Constitutional Convention carried by a large majority, as did likewise the amendments to the present Constitution providing for the enlarging of the Senate and for the election of State officers by a plurality of the votes cast and not by a majority, as at present required. Florence, S. C.—Wattr Bonds May be Issued.— On Oct. 7, 1901, the State Supreme Court "dismissed the case per curiam" brought by certain petitioners in Florence to prevent the issuance of $40,000 water bonds voted at the election held June 4, 1901. The dismissal of the case in effect, it is stated, confirms the validity of the constitutional, amendment voted upon in 19C0, which permits the cities of Columbia, Rock Hill, Charleston and Florence to issue bonds outside of the debt limit for water, sewer, gaa and electric-light plants. On« of the points raised in the petition questioned the validity of this amendment. It seems that the resolution providing for the amendment was erroneously made to amend "Article IV" instead of "Article X," and the resolution was submitted to the people in that form. The General Assembly, by an Act approved Feb. 8, 1901, ratified this amendment, setting forth, however, in the preamble that Article IV in the joint resolution had been inadvertently written for Article X. It was also contended that there was no registration of the voters before the election at which the bonds were voted, as required by the Constitution.
