The full details of clearings for the week covered by the
above statement will be given next Saturday. We cannot, of
course, furnish them to-day, bank clearings being made up by
the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and hence in
the above the last twenty-four hours of the week have to be
in all cases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
We present below our usual detailed figures for the previous
weelr, covering the returns for the period ending with Saturday
noon, October 6, and also give the totals for the corresponding
week in 1893, 1892 and 1891. In comparison with the preced­
ing week there is an increase in the aggregate exchanges of a
little over two hundred, and seventeen millions of dollars, the
gain at New York being one hundred and thirty-nine millions.
Contrasted with the week of 1893 all but seventeen of the cities
show gains, and in the total for the whole country the excess
reaches 10*7 per cent. Compared with the week of 1892 the
current returns show a decline of nearly 22 per cent, and the

THE F IN A N C IA L SITU A TIO N .
Foreign exchange has made another advance this
week. Coming as these higher rates do at the period
of our largest exports and while our imports are
still small, they have been a depressing influence.
A report was current on Wednesday and Thurs
day that a small shipment of gold would be made
to-day to Germany. A trifling profit was said
to be established through a circuitous exchange
operation by way of Paris and Berlin, aided it is
assumed by some concession of interest or the like on
the part of the consignee acting in the nature of a
premium on the shipment. Later the exchange market
became a little “ toppy,” as was evidenced by one
banker offering a block of bills and finding no
purchaser except at a price a little off from the
highest. For the time being the suggested gold
shipment has been avoided; and yet the market
is so narrow that any special demand would make
it firm again. This unprecedented condition of the ex­
changes in October, discouraging enterprise and check­
ing business, is wholly attributable to the inelasticity
of our paper currency; in other words, it is due to our
making the issues Of such a character that being once
out they are always out, with no arrangements for their
withdrawal and consequent contraction when business
contracts. In 1885, under Secretary Manning, the
Government had a large surplus, and Mr. Mmning let
the excess of currency collect in the Government vaults
until the pressure on business was relieved. Now that
the Treasury payments continue in excess of the rev­
enue, Secretary Carlisle has had no opportunity to con
tract, but for a month or more has by this excess In
disbursements been adding to instead of decreasing the
volume of paper money afloat, and this situation is
being at the same time aggravated by the increased
issues of bank notes, which are almost if not quite as
inelastic as our silver notes, a defect in the National
Bank law which the public will we hope realize and
correct one of these days.
For a result of this feature of our currency we have,
as already remarked, the present mischievous state
of our money market. We had hoped business
would increase fast enough to find a use for this
mass of idle paper money which has no homing faculty
—that it would consequently get distributed and at
work again. Instead of that it has of late, and for a
month or more, been collecting here after a brief out
flow, and for two weeks now the effect of this renewed
inflow has been observable in the lower rates of interest.
Last Saturday in this column we said that f* the
market for money in all departments has been
growing easier this week.” To-day we have the
same story to tell, only the declining market is
now everywhere noticeable, bank officials stating that
the condition is almost as congested as it was at any
period last summer. A short time ago balances could
at least be freely loaned on Call at the Stock Exchange
at 1 per c e n t; now lenders have to seek borrowers even
at that, rate, and large amounts are daily left over
unemployed. For time contracts and commercial
paper the competition on the part of capital is so great
that nearly the lowest rates for the year are accepted,
though in the matter of paper city buyers are scruti­
nizing names more closely. This, most truly, would
seem to be the jubilee day of the cheap-money party.
But what do we find f No one who wants money can
get it. What is the moral ? Is not the moral that the

imperative need is confidence, and not a large volume
of unsound currency, which destroys confidence ?
We are greatly pleased to find that the Biltimore
Bankers’ Convention has produced this week the best
plan for a bank-note currency which has come to our
notice. We have not examined fully as yet the amend­
ments to the National Bank Act which the new system
would require. Our opinion of its features is formed
chiefly after reading the excellent addresses by Mi\
Charles C. Homer, President of the S-tcond National
Bank of Baltimore, and Mr. A. B. Hepburn, Presi­
dent of the Tnird National Bank of New York. It ig
a very interesting and encouraging fact in connection
with what we have said above that th's plan seems to pro­
vide so fully for just the defect we have been remarking
upon. Mr. Hepburn touches the vital point inthisparticular when he says that no bank-note device secured by
stocks or bonds can possess elasficity. That is a
basal principle of any sound and effective system. He
cites some good reasons for his opinion, but in the
newspaper copy of his address there is one we did
not find.. No currency can really be elastic that does
not expand and contract automatically according to the
needs of the moment. A currency like the present
national bank notes cannot be materially increased in
time of emergency, for that is a time few are in condi­
tion to buy bonds and it’s a long operation any way ; it
cannot contract (I) because the withdrawal is another
long process and (2) because the currency cannot rest
in the issuing bank unemployed at a time of depression,
inasmuch as the currency would be unprofitable if it
did. It is hardly necessary to say that a bank­
note device would be still-born unless it netted a
profit on its issue. Mr. Homer refers to another class
of notes provided for in the proposed syste n which he
speaks of as an **emergency circulation.” We have
not examined the details of this feature, and cannot
express an opinion of the sufficiency of the suggestion
until we have done so. The need it is intended to
meet is an obvious one, and what Mr. H )mer says with
reference to the plan shows that the subject has been
well studied and that at least an ingenious method of
meeting the need has been devised.
A feature this week has been a more or less unset­
tled feeling apparent in Europe growing out of the
condition of the Emperor of Bussia. We do not sup­
pose that the demand for “gold by Germany has any
connection with that circumstance; the presumption
is that the gold goes to Austria. Our correspondent
in London again advises us by cable this week that
Germany is still buying gold there. Neither can we
see reflected in the discount rates any evidence of
anticipated trouble in case of the Czar’s death,
indeed, the discount rates have been fractionally
lower at the monetary centres than they were last week.
The Japanese are reported as gradually moving toward
and into Chinese territory and important news from
that quarter may be expected very soon. The October
report of the Department of Agriculture, the results of
which will be found in a subsequent article, is regarded
as indicating only a trifle better yield of corn but a
materially larger yield of wheat and oats than was
shown by earlier reports. Of cotton the condition
figures are less favorable than last month but much
higher than they were a year ago ; figures of the yield
per acre are also given but no estimate of the crop can
be based upon them. Cotton is now moviog quite
freely from the Southern ports and there is a fair
movement of grain and provisions.

A couple of months ago we printed the preliminary
income statement of the Mobile & Ohio for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1894. The full report has now
been issued, and we give extracts from it in our railroad
department to-day. The company makes a good show­
ing for a year of intense and general depression in
trade. As a result of this depression the coal and
merchandise traffic fell off, but fortunately the road
was able in part to offset this loss by a gain in the cot­
ton traffic and by an increase in the fruit traffic
through the port of Mobile, this latter being a class of
business which is being steadily developed. Hence
gross receipts decreased only a little over a hundred
thousand dollars (the total of the gross being $3,253,691
against $3,358,471), and as at the same time a saving
was effected in the expenses, net earnings have been
$1,216,972 against $1,099,282. It is stated that rigid
economy was practiced, nothing in the way of new
work being undertaken, but that the property has been
kept in good working condition. Out of the net of
$1,216,972 the company was able to meet all its fixed

SOMETHING A B O U T BIM ETALLISM .
Last week we very briefly criticised a manifesto put
forth by a political party in Ohio in favor of the free
coinage of silver. This Ohio utterance and the numer­
ous references to the same subject by party conventions
in other States suggest the inquiry why the honest
class among these advocates of free silver do not direct
their efforts to obtaining as a first step concurrent action
in Europe. World-wide bimetallism is, we believe,
feasible under a joint agreement of the leading com­
mercial nations.
On the other hand free coinage
adopted by America alone is in every way impracticable
and has nothing to recommend it. Even the most
cherished objects the cheap money party is seeking
could not be attained by that method. It would
not raise the price of silver a farthing ; it would rob
our dollar of half its value so that one sovereign could
buy about ten of them instead of five as now; it would
give the farmer and planter for their produce silver
dollars worth about one-half the gold dollars they get
under the present system ; it would not expand but
violently contract our currency ; it would not stimulate
business but paralyze it after producing the most
destructive panic the country had ever experienced.

Octobek 13, 1894.]

THE

CHKONICLE.

These matters need not be enlarged upon now a3 they
¡have so often been treated in these pages during past
years. But the discussion of bimetallism, has shown so
much activity in Europe lately, and the bimetallists have
become so aggressive, that it will be interesting to note
the Hue of thought which has more recently been
¿¿opted. One of the best, because one of the clearest,
reviews of the leading points at issue we have recently
seen is a short paper in the September number of the
“Nineteenth Century” written by Mr. J. P. Heseltine of
the extensive stock brokers* firm of Heseltine, Powell
,& Oo., of London. As Mr. Heseltine has given the
¡subject careful study, and as he brings to the discussion
a long and wide business experience, both his facts and
his method are striking. Jle starts with asking the
reader to bear in mind that the foundation of the
system of gold monometallism is of very recent date ;
it is only since 1873 that there have been two moneys
in the world and two standards of value not linked
together by a ratio fixed by law with more or less per­
fection. The period of greatest stability was from 1803
to 1873, when the Preach law secured for the world
one money, consisting of all the gold and all the silver,
•on the basis of which all values rested. Monometallism
began to exist in 1873, and then for the first time the
two metals became antagonistic. Up to that date the
money system of France made it the stay and center of
exchange for the world’s currencies. As M. Oernuschi says, it was French bimetallism which saved t ie
value of gold in 1852 and following years; it was
French bimetallism which enabled English monomet­
allism to live on good terms with its Indian monometal­
lism. Whatever the quantity of bills during that
period the India office had to sell, French bimetallism
furnished England with a par of exchange as mathe­
matical as that which she had with Australia, a coun­
try, like herself, coining only sovereigns.
This statement of the relative positions of the bi­
metallist and the monometallist cannot be questioned.
■It is not for the bimetallist to prove the feasibility and
desirability of a situation of the moneys of the world
which in truth existed both before and after inter­
national trade assumed important proportions. It
falls rather to the lot of the monometallist to defend
his system and relieve it from the odium of the dis­
located conditions of trade which have followed the
-change in 1873 and been growing more onerous ever
since. That French bimetallism had the effect to keep
the relative value of gold and silver practically unal­
tered from 1803 to 1873, if it was a question before
seems to be no longer a question, but to be removed
from debatable conditions by the unanimous conclusion
of the members of the Royal Commission of 1888 on
Silver and Cold. That commission had in evidence
before it all the changes which occurred during that
period relative to the production of the two metals,
the fluctuations in the price of each, and in rates of
-exchange, etc; yet it found unanimously that “ so
“ long as that system was in force notwithstand“ ing the changes in the production and use of the
“ precious metals, it kept the market price of silver
“ approximately steady at the ratio fixed by law be“ tween them, namely 15-J to 1.
Of course it does not follow from the foregoing that
the re-establishment to-day of the old ratio by the
Latin Union would work as formerly; nor is the
success which that arrangement had then conclusive
evidence that similar concerted action on the part of
the leading commercial nations of the world would be

equally effective to-day.. All that is claimed with ref­
erence to the past is (l) that the gold mono metallist is
put in a position where he must free his system from
the presumption that it is the cause of. the conditions
of traie which have prevailed since 1873; and (2) that
as bimetallism is proved to have been in successful
operation for at least seventy years, it is therefore
practicable now unless it can be established that there
are conditions existing at the present time which did
not exist then, and which neiv conditions make it
impracticable. Bearing on the future is the following
opinion of ten out of the twelve members of the Royal
Commission of 1888. These ten commissioners reached
and signed this conclusion without reservation. “ We
“ think that in any conditions fairly to be contem­
p la t e d in the future, so far as we can forecast them
“ from the experience of the past, a stable ratio might
“ be maintained if the nations we have alluded to”
[the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States
and the Latin Union] “ were to accept and strictly
“ adhere to bimetallism at the suggested ratio. We
“ think that if in all these gold and silver could be
“ freely coined and thus become exchangeable against
“ commodities at the fixed ratio, the market value of
“ silver as measured by gold would conform to that
“ ratio and not vary to any material extent.” In this
opinion the remaining two commissioners also shared
except they expressed a doubt as to the length of time
the arrangement could be kept effective.
But before considering the future we want briefly to
notice the claim Mr. Giffin makes in his pamphlet—‘The case against Bimetallism”—that “ the bimetallic
law,” during the entire time it was in force, was “ com­
pletely inoperative.” This is an extreme statement
wholly opposed to the facts already given. But Mr.
Giffin is seldom a moderate advocate, and quite apt to
be radical in his expressions of opinion. After com­
mitting himself thus unreservedly he goes on to say as
apparently conclusive of his contention, that in half
the years from 1803 to 1820 gold was at a premium
compared with the legal ratio in France—in three of
the years the premium was on the average over three
per cent. Mr. Heseltine, noting this statement,
says that Mr. Giffin forgets to mention that dur­
ing this period the Bank of E lgland notes were not
redeemable in specie, and that during these years gold
and silver were at a premium in London as against
Bank of England notes. According to Mr. Giffia’s
tables 1813 was the year of largest divergence from
15^ to 1. In that year the average market price for gold
in London was <£5 Is. per ounce, or a premium of
27 per cent, and yet in that year there were coined
of gold at French mints 60,741,080 francs, which
equals say £2,429,643. Remember “ that there was
no divergence of ratio for internal payments in
France; the divergence was only visible by the quota­
tions in London for bills on Paris.” The Government
only claimed to furnish a mathematical par of exchange;
whereas the “ dealer in bills of exchange does not exist
to prove the mathematical truth of a theory but to get
as large a profit as possible for himself.” He got as
many francs and centimes as possible for a sovereign
“ without troubling to think that in making a profit he
might be supplying for future generations an argument
against fixing a ratio between gold and silver.”
How if in connection with the above we measure
this alleged 3 per cent premium for gold by the change
in the ratio it would cause, we have the true gauge of
its importance. In that way we find that a 3 per cent

Besides these low averages it was stated a month
ago that considerable portions of the area devoted to
corn had been entirely abandoned in some of the States.
Taking this into account, according to the figures
then furnished by the Bureau, the yield for the lead­
ing producing States and for the country as a whole is
indicated approximately in the subjoined statement,
which also gives the production of oats based on the

Thus the total for the three crops is only 2,264
million bushels the present year, against 2,654 million
bushels last year, but the loss is entirely in corn, and if
the estimate of that crop should be raised 400 million
bushels, as competent authorities claim it should, then
there would be practically no difference between the two
years.

Southern roads have done by all odds better than any
others, and this is by no m^ans due entirely to the
larger cotton movement, as some of the best returns
come from roads where the cotton traffic forms a com­
paratively small part of the total t r a f f i T h e Chesa­
peake & Ohio is the only large Southern road (there
are a few other sm ill ones) which has a lo3S in earnings,
and in that case, as we have seen, the decrease is due
chiefly to the falling off in passenger revenues. The
roads embraced ia the following shisv larger aggregate
earnings than a year ago.

¡iorl894 did not differ much from that for 1893; and
yet while this is true regarding the aggregate, at some
Iof the separate ports the variations have been very de­
cided; the most of them show declines, bat Minae
apolis records a very striking increase, that point bav
ling received 8,295,180 bushels this year against only
¡5,589,540 bushels last year.

Aside from these two groups all the groups have
losses.
In the Southwestern group the loss ia
smaller than in the other groups, and ia fact except for
the very heavy decrease on the Atchison there would
be no loss at all, since most of the roids in that section
report greatly improved results.

These figures of course relate only to takings and
consumption of cotton in Great Britain and on the
Continent. If one wants to obtain an idea of the
world’s consumption the corresponding statistics for
the United States and India must be added. For
! the United States the results were fully set forth
in our annual crop report issued in September, and it
was then shown that consumption of cotton in this
country had decreased materially during the season of
1893-94, due to the falling off in demand for goods.
The returns for India, which reached us last week and
were published on page 613, indicate a fair increase in
consumption.
Bringing together the results for Eu­
rope and India, and adding the figures of the United
States, we substantially cover the world. Below we
give these returns combined for ^fifteen consecutive
years, all bales being reduced to the uniform weight of
400 lbs.

CONDITION OF ST A T E BANKS.
The reports on condition of State banks which have recently
come to hand very naturally furnish evidence of recovery
from the late business depression. Through the courtesy of
Mr. Charles M. Preston, Superintendent of the New York
Banking Department, we have received thb week a detailed
statement of the condition of the banks in this State at the
close of business on Wednesday, August 29, and from it have
prepared the subjoined tables covering the city of New York
and the State outside of this city. The results disclosed are
quite satisfactory.
Turning attention first to the returns for New York City
we find that as a result of the difficulties into which a few
of the banks were precipitated by the panicky times of last
year the number of institutions now reporting is only fortyfive against forty-seven on September 19, 1898, and forty-six
on September 22, 1892. But notwithstanding the decrease in
the number of banks the volume of loans shows an excess
over this time a year ago of four and a-quarter millions of
dollars and there is a gain in specie of $2,173,689. The hold­
ings of legal tenders, &c., have very largely increased as com­
pared with September, 1893, and in fact the aggregate cash
(specie, legal tenders, &c.,) is now thirteen million dollars, or
nearly 65 per cent in excess of September, 1892. Deposits
show an augmentation of ten millions over last year but are
ten millions less than in 1892. The results for New York City
for three years are as follows:

The report on Illinois banks for August 8, recently issued by
Hr, H. B. Prentice, Superintendent of the Illinois Bank De­
partment, makes a distinctly favorable showing. There has
been no increase in the number of banks the past year and
infact the aggregate capital is slightly less than a year ago.
But during the interval a marked improvement in condition
has been in progress. All the important items exhibit expan­
sion when compared with July 25,1898. Loans have increased
nearly five millions of dollars, cash on hand, which includes
specie, bank notes, «fee., has risen from $10,528,066last year to
$14,978,805 on August 8, 1894, and surplus and undivided
profits have gained to an appreciable extent. The volume of
deposits has augmented considerably. In the subjoined
statement we give the returns for August 8, with Chicago
stated separately, and for purposes of comparison the totals
forthe whole State for July 25,1893, are added. It should be
remembered that these Illinois returns include savings banks
andtrust companies.

The stock markets have been dull with a downward ten
dency all through the week, although the fortnightly settle­
ment which began on Wednesday morning shows that Ihe
“ bull ” account is small. Stock Exchange borrowers were
able to obtain all the loans they required at from lwi to IV
per cent. During the past four or five weeks prices have
been carried up too rapidly, and the general public has not
been buying much, nor as yet does it show any inclination to
purchase. Speculators, therefore, have grown discouraged
and selling has overbalanced buying.

ANNUAL

REPORTS.

St. Paul & Duluth Railroad.
( For the year ending June 30,1894. J
The report of President R. Somers Hayes states that the
decrease of earnings is due to the unprecedented general de­
pression which has prevailed in all classes of business during
the entire period covered by this report. The greatest de­
crease in volume of commodities handled has been in wheat,
anthracite and bituminous coal, and in lumber, and the entire
loss of shipments of building material to the head of the
lakes.
The decrease in volume of traffic handled has enabled the re­
duction in operating expenses to be effected without detri­
ment to the property. The condition of the property and its
equipment has been fully maintained. It will be necessary
during the coming year to purchase sufficient rail to renew
about 15 miles of the main line. This will leave a balance of
about'the same amount to be relaid in the year 1896.
“Since the close of the fiscal year covered by the above re­
port, the country traversed by your road, has been visited by
severe tires, causing great loss of life and property. The
newspapers have described accurately the terrible calamity
caused by the forest fires and the accompanying cyclones.
Limited train No. 4, of Sept. 1, was totally consumed by fire
after the lives of its passengers and several hundred refugees
had been saved by the gallant and faithful discharge of duty on
the part of the train employees.” * * “ The loss to this
company due to these fires cannot as yet be accurately esti­
mated. All the property of the company at Mission Creek
and Hinckley was destroyed, including about forty loaded
freight cars. The station at Miller was also destroyed The
ties in the main track for about eighteen miles were in many
places so badly damaged that twenty thousand ties were
necessary for the replacement of those destroyed. The loss
sustained through the destruction of equipment and station
buildings is fully covered by insurance.”
The balance sheet shows no bills payable; cash on hand
#184,847 ; bills receivable and balances due from agents, for­
eign roads, etc., #255,764. Current liabilities on taxes, pay­
rolls, etc., #178,265 ; interest accrued and not due #60,467.
The statement of operations, earnings and charges has
been compiled for the C h r o n i c l e as follows:

Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad.
(F or the year ending June 30,1894.)
Chairman H. H. Porter in his annual report says that the
net earnings for the ten months ending April 30 last were
#521,949, against #325,780 in the previous year, an increase of
#196,169, while the net earnings for the whole year were but
#394,548. The last six months have been months of more gen­
eral disaster to railroad property than any heretofore experi­
enced. During the months of May and June last the general
coal strike by order of the Miners’ Union existed, and the
company’s earnings on coal traffic were reduced from that of
the previous year $240,044. Ocher earnings were also mate­
rially reduced inconsequence. This strike were one of the two
purely sympathetic ones occurring this calendar year, the
other being that of the American Railway Union. The latter
followed the first closely and lasted through the most of
July.
The policy indicated in previous years’ reports with refer­
ence to charging to operating expenses many items that
might properly be called construction has been continued.
President M. J. Carpenter remarks that during the year
the branch from Rossville to Sidell, 34 29 miles, was com­
pleted and put in operation in November. Connections were
built to coal mines, 2 '65 miles, and the Casey branch was ex­
tended 2'22 miles. The second main track between Momence
and Danville Junction, 7314 miLs, was completed at a total
cost of #858,350, or practically $11,700 per mile. Bonds have
been issutd under the provisions of th9 general consolidated
mortgage at the rate of $8,000 per mile for this second track,
leaving a balance of $266,000, which has been provided for out
of the surplus earnings of the company during its construc­
tion. 1,045 tons of new 65-lb. steel rail has been laid, replac­
ing 10*2 miles of old 56 and 60-lb rail. Twenty-seven wooden
trestles, aggregating 2,178 lineal feet, have been replaced
with masonry and iron or embankments of earth. Six com ­
bination spans over the Wabash River at Attica have been re­
placed by a steel structure of modern design for about $40,000,
$21,792 having been expended thereon during this fiscal year
and charged to operating expenses. In general nothing has
been neglected, but on the contrary, the physical condition of
the property has been improved considerably during the year,
and compares favorably with the best. There was expended
on construction in the aggregate during the year $583,010.
The equipment June 30, 1894, included locomotives 138 and
passenger cars 121, both same as last year ; freight cars 8,780,
decrease 92.
Operations, earnings and charges are shown below for four
years, the statement being compiled for the C h r o n i c l e :

THE

CHRONICLE.

Mobile & Ohio Railroad.
( For the year ending June 80, 1894.J
The report of President J. C. Clarke says that the net in ­
come for the year 1893 94, after the payment of all expenses
of maintenance, operation, taxes, insurance, interest and
rental charges, cost of ne w construction and equipment, was
$7,317, as against a deficien cy for 1892-93, upon th e. same
basis, of $153,836. - Or, omitting the amount paid on account
of new and additional equipment (principal of car trust, &c.),
a surplus of $171,714, as against a surplus of $38,260 for the
previous year. The gross receipts for the year show a decrease
of $104,780. The net earnings show an increase of $117,691.
To accomplish this result, it has been necessary to practice the
most rigid economy, and nothing in the way of new work
has been undertaken; the property, however, has been main­
tained and kept in good working condition. During the
year 1893-94 material and supplies on hand have increased
$4,949; the net floating indebtedness of the company has de­
creased $26,484.
“The cotton crop, although not up to an average, was
better than the preceding year, revenue from this source hav­
ing increased $65,379. The revenue from all other freights
decreased $110,797, mainly accounted for by the loss in rev­
enue from coal resulting from the closing of Alabama and Il­
linois coal mines in April, 1894, by strikes which continued
until the close of the fiscal year, the shutting-down of indus­
tries depending upon the mines for their fuel supply, and the
general depression in business from which the country has
suffered during the entire period covered by this report. The
strike inaugurated by the American Railway Union affected
this company for only a few days prior to June 30, although
its efftet was seriously felt for the entire month of July.
“On account of the depressed condition of financial affairs
generally during the past year, no progress has been made
toward constructing the line from Columbus, Miss., to Mont­
gomery, Ala. The litigation with the State of Tennessee, in
regard to exemption from taxation guaranteed this company
by its charter until certain conditions exist, was settled dur­
ing the year by decision of the Supreme Court of the United
States in favor of the company.”
The report further shows that on June 30, 1894, of the
$10,500,000 general mortgage 4s authorized, there were in the
company’s treasury $1,851,500 ; held by public, $7,886,530,
against $7,851,430 June 30, 1893 ; reserved against debentures.
$28,470 ; canceled l y sinking fund, $733,500. The loans
and bills payable June 30, 1894, were $<631,688, against
$511,616 the previous year. In addition to the general mort­
gage bonds above mentioned, the company holds in its treas­
ury $2,363,400 (par value) of its capital stock and $37,050 of
other secutities.
During the year 1893-94 273,954 ties were put in track,
against 368,735 during the year 1892-93. Two hundred refrig­
erator cars and two hundred box cars were purchased during
the year under car trust series “P.” The last note of c ir
trust series “C” was paid. The car trust debt June 20, 1894,
was $555,671, as against $531,568 June 30,1893. The equip­
ment June 30, 1894, included: Engines, 105, decrease, 2;
cars," passenger service, 77, no change; freight, 3,855, in­
crease, 350; construction, 168, decrease, 15.
A statement of the results for four years has been compiled

West V irginia Central & P ittsburg Railway.
CFor the year ending June 30,1894.)
The report of President H. G. Davis says th a t:
While the road has felt the effects of the general depression
of business in the country during the year, it is thought that
it has not suffered in as great proportion as have many other
roads. The recent coal strike, which was general throughout
the country, extended to this company. Most of the men in
the mines along the road left their places, but at no time were
all the mines on the road entirely idle. The strike lasted some
six weeks, during which the natural traffic of the road was
greatly lessened, and its resources thereby curtailed. Not­
withstanding this the company earned during the year $88,000
net over and above all its fixed charges and other expenses.
The usual dividend of one per cent was distributed, permanent
improvements made, and the balance was placed to the credit
of profit and loss. Indications, it is said, point to a larger
business for the present year.
There were mined and shipped from the various mines on
the line of the road, including the shipments received from
the Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad, for the year
ending June 80th, 1894, 764,144 tons, a decrease of 68,891 tons
compared with the previous year. A decision of the Circuit
Court of Baltimore has enabled the company to lease the
Piedmont & Cumberland road and the West Virginia Central,
which had been operating it for sixty (60) per cent of its gross
earnings, now receives sixty-three (68) per cent and is there­
by enabled to work the road at a fair profit. The Dry Fork
RR. and the Roaring Creek & Charleston RR. companies
have begun construction on their respective roads, which are
to connect with the Central. In regard to the Baltimore &
Cumberland projected by parties interested in the West Vir­
ginia Central & Pittsburg as an eastern outlet to Hagerstown,
the report states that “ we are advised that much of the
work preliminary to the letting of contracts, such as securing
rights of way, etc., has been done, but the financial condition
of the country during the past year, so unfavorably to new
enterprises, has delayed the commencement of the work of
construction.”
During the year there have been purchased one combined
passenger car, five 60,000-lbs. capacity drop-bottom gondolas,
fifty 60,000-lb. capacity air-brake box cars, with automatic
couplers, at a total cost of (charged to equipment account),
$27,649 55. The total equipment June 30th, 1894, was engines,
29, passenger cars, 17, freight cars of all kinds, 1,792. There
have been 1-75 miles of 70-lb. steel rails laid in the main
track, replacing that amount of 56 lb. rails, and the latter
used for sidings—charged to “ operating expenses.”
The balance-sheet shows cash on hand, $111,304; due by
railroads, agents, &c., $82,371; bills payable, $145,000; coupons
payable July 1, $90,185; pay rolls and sundry accounts, $121,385. Profit and loss surplus, after deducting dividend No. 6,
$617,999. The company holds $500,000 of its $6,000,000 capi­
tal stock in its treasury.
Earnings, expenses and charges have been as follows :

Cleveland Akron & Columbus Railway.
(For the year ending June 30, 1894.)
The report of President George W. Saul states that the
paramount cause of the decrease in the gross earnings is the
fact that durinsr the year the Pennsylvania Company acquired
control of the Cleveland & Marietta R.R., resulting in the
diversion from the C. A. & Col. line of the traffic originating
on the Pennsylvania Company’s northwestern system and
southwestern system to their own rails. The consequent­
falling off in traffic began ro be appreciable in the month of
January ; and the statistics for the last six months show that
this business amounts to an average of $7,500 per month.
Again the depression throughout the country caused a large
falling off in revenue. The strike in the Massillon district
coalmines has continued since February 15, and has pro­
duced a loss in the earnings from these mines of $3,700 per
month.

.
The management has deemed it wise to inaugurate a vigor­
ous policy by the establishment of agencies at Cincinnati,
Cleveland and elsewhere, with a view to individualizing the
road, which in a measure, has lost its iientity by a too close
relation in its joint operation with the Pennsylvania lines.
The disadvantage due to the fact th it the road has not been
able heretofore to make its own rates out of terminal points,
whereby it might be able to compete consistently with other
roads, will be overcome by arrangements now in progress
with the Pennsylvania and other lines. Already the wisdom
of the new policy is manifested in the earnings. These show
for the first six months of the fiscal year a decrease of $53,807
while the earnings on freight other than coal for the whole
fiscal year, embracing the last six months, during which the
Pennsylvania traffic was diverted, show a decrease of only
$60,583. In other words, this demonstrates that we have
already offset the loss of the Pennsylvania traffic.
During the month of June a contract was made with the
Norfolk & Western R R. Co. for the joint use of terminal
freight houses and yards in the City of Columbus.
The revenue freight on the main line aggregated 835,837
tons, against 1,233,053 tons the previous year, bituminous coal
contributing 211,542 tons, against 393,888: stone, sand and like
articles 98,903, against 165,158; cement, brick and lime 84,367,
against 79,435. Improvements charged to operating expenses
include : New steel rail, 67 pounds per yard, replacing 56-pound
rail, $58,910 ; bridges, $3,430 : five miles of track ballasted
with gravel, $2,300; renewals of equipment, $19,910, etc.
Additions charged to equipment account, $24,597.
The earnings and expenses and income account are given
below for four years.

Wester a Union Telegraph.
(F or the year ending June 30, 1894.)
The report of President Thomas T. Eckert says: “There
have been constructed during the year over 1,300 miles of
new pole line and nearly 22,000 miles of new wire, but lines
taken down reduced the net increase of pole line to 367 miles,
while the net increase of wire was reduced to 21,591 miles.
More than one-half of this new wire is copper.

THE CHRONICLE,

13, 1894. J

“The cost for these additions to the property, amounting to
$557,022, and an expenditure of $53,713 in completing the en­
largement and remodelling of the company’s building at Chi­
cago, has been paid partly out of the surplus of the year and
partly out of the proceeds derived from the s tie of so ne of
the company’s securities.” * * “ The average toll per
message was 30*5 cents and the average cost per message
23 3 cents. The higher cost per message is due to the
general depression of business and the difficulty in re­
ducing expenses at the many smaller offiies.” * *
“The staff and accomodations which it is necessary to
maintain at such offices are sufficient to cover the despatch of
a much greater number of messages than the number
actually handled.” * * “ The judicious expenditures that
have been made upon the lines for many years past, aod the
continual substitution of copper for iron wires on trunk
routes have kept the entire system up to the highest standard
of efficiency. The establishment ;o f dynamo plants at offices
where we have a great demand for current, in the place of
chemical batteries, is working a considerable economy in that
branch of th© service«
“While we have not ad led materially to our surplus during
the fiscal year under consideration, I thiDk the stockholders
may, in view of the commercial distress through which we
have passed, congratulate themselves on the maintenance of
the usual dividend of 5 per cent in addition to the proper care
of the plant of the company.”
The number of messages transmitted during the year was
58,632,237, contrasting with 66,591,853 in 1892-93 and with
62,387,298 in 1891-93. Tne total miles of wire in use June 30,
1894, was 791,792 against 769,201 June 30, 1893.
Since the expiration of the fiscal year the system of the
American Rapid Telegraon Company, which co nprised 2,634
miles of poles and 20,370 miles of wire, extending F ist t o
Boston, South to Washington and We3t to Chicago, has bee n
purchased for $550,000 ia Western Union stock at par. This
system has been operated by the Western Union Telegraph
Company since July 10, 1885, under a liase fro n tne Receiver
at the rate of $60,000 per year. As the necessity for main­
taining these lines as a separate system no longer exists, sav­
ings in the expense of their operation will follow, miking the •
economy of the purchase still more than the difference be­
tween the rental hitherto paid and the dividend on the new
“The company has also purchased, since the clo39 of the
fiscal year, 10,000 miles of copper wire, which will be erected
before January 1 on important trunk routes.”

The results for three years were as follows, compiled for the

amount issued is therefore $28,855,000, including this $2,500,000 The recent application of the receivers of the Northern
Pacific to the Court for permission to issue receivers’ certificates
d is c l o s e s the fact that Chicago & Northern Pacific bonds for
$1 750,000 are still in possession of the company, or are
pledged for loans which will be retired by the certificates.
Consequently it would seem that not more than $750,UUU, it
any, have passed into the hands of outside parties through
closing out of loans. Parties, ho wever, who are acquainted
with Chicago & Northern Pacific matters question whether
any of the loans for which the bonds were deposited have
been closed out.
Cincinnati Jackson & Mackinaw.—It is announced that
Messrs. Walston H. Brown & Co. have sold their holdings of
this company’s securities to a syndicate headed by Nelson
Robinson and embracing Gen. Thomas, Calvin S. Brice, John
G. Moore and others. The gentlemen named have been
elected directors to replace George F. Stone, Geo. C. Sheldon,
Walston H. Brown and Thomas F. Wentworth, resigned. Mr.
Brice is the new President, and Mr. George L. Bradbury, 2d
Vice-President and General Manager of the Lake Erie & West­
ern, was elected Vice-President. The new directors are also
identified with the Lake Erie & Western.
Cleveland Akron & Columbus.—Judge Severins, in the
United States Court at Cincinnati has dissolved the injunction
and dismissed the bill of the Amsterdam ex-directors, which
sought to restrain the issuance of the bonds under the con­
solidated mortgage authorized in 1893. Other arrangements
were subsequently made to provide the requisite funds for
terminals, etc., and the necessity for issuing the consol, bonds
does not at present exist.
Detroit Bay City & Alpena.—Messrs. Drexel, Morgan &
Co. give notice that pursuant to a decree of foreclosure the
railway and property of the Detroit Bay City & Alpena Rail­
road Company is advertised for sale on November 8th next.
Bondholders who have not already deposited their bonds with
Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co. under the agreement of De­
cember 1, 1892, are invited to do so on or before October 25,
after which date no further deposits will be received.
Grand Rapids & Indiana.—Holders of the unguaranteed 7s
on which default occurred October 1 can obtain $1,110 in cash
for them by turning them into the sinking fund, or if they
prefer they can have them extended at 4 ^ per cent through
Winslow, Lanier & Co. of this city. The extended bonds have
no lien on the land grant but carry the endorsed guaranty of
the Pennsylvania RR. Co. to purchase the bond and its
coupons as they severally mature. The sinking fund assets
derived from land sales December 81, 1893, amounted to
$1,837,173, including 493,908 in cash.

Kansas City Shreveport & Gulf.—Kansas City Pittsburg

& Gulf.—At Shreveport, La., September 27, a charter was
filed for the Kansas City Shreveport & Gulf. The charter pro­
vides for a road from the north boundary oLLouisiana, south
via Shreveport to Sabine Pass, on the Gulf of Mexico, which
will be the southern end of the Kansas City Pittsburg & Gulf
road. Construction is to be pushed from both ends to com­
plete the line between Texarkana and Shreveport, seventythree miles.
Minneapolis & St. Louis.—The Stockholders’ Committee
of the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway, represented by
Messrs. Bull, Strauss and Joline, of New York, purchased
October 11 under foreclosure of the equipment mortgage, for
cash, the entire ownership of the road. The mortgagee and
the Rock Island Road were represented, but made no oppos­
ing bids. A new company will be formed to take over the
property under the plan of reorganization published in
the C h r o n i c l e of Sept. 1.

New York Chicago & St. Louis—Delaware Lackawanna &
Western.—An arrangement has been made by these com­

panies for the running of through vestibuled trains between
New York and Chicago. The distance over the new route
will be 934 miles, of which 410 miles will be on the Lacka­
wanna and 524 on the Nickel Plate.

New fork Stock Exchange—New Securities Listed.—
The Governing Committee of the Stock Exchange have

T oledo P eoria & Western R ailway Company’s “ ex-funded
coupon bonds,” $2,886,000.

Northwestern Elevated (Chicago).—A first mortgage to
the amount of $15,000,000 has been filed in Chicago by this
company, the trustee being the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank.
The interest is 5 per cent, payable semi-annually, and the
principal is due Aug. 1,1944.
Northern Pacific.—Judge Jenkins on October 9 granted
the receivers permission to issue the $5,000,000 receivers’certifi­
cates for the purposes named in the C h r o n i c l e of September
29. Judge Jenkins said the fear of the bondholders that by the
issuing of receivers’ certificates a lien would be created upon
the property which would prejudice their mortgage was to a
great extent imaginary. The debts the receivers wanted to
meet with the certificates were in themselves liens prior to




651

the mortgages. The Court ordered the receivers to report to
the Court October 22 the bids which shall have been received
for them and the rate of interest offered.
These certificates, as regards their lien upon the corpus of
the property, rank, as did the previous issue, before the gen­
eral second mortgage, but after the general first mortgage.
They are to have for their security, first, a lien on the bonds and
stocks in the N orthern Pacific treasury and such as are set
free by payment of floating debt; second, alien on the income
of the road, and, third, subject to the general first mortgage,
as already said, a lien on the corpus of the road itself. Ac­
cording to the application they are to be dated Oct. 1,1894,
and mature July 1, 1897, if not previously drawn at 101, inter­
est being payable quarterly.
Attorney Cromwell, in advocating before the Court the
issuance of the certificates, is reported to have said that it was
expected the road would be able to pay the interest on the
general first mortgage bonds on Jan. 1 if the petition was
granted.
—The receivers of the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. invite
sealed proposals until 10 o’clock A . M on Saturday, October 20,
for $5,000,000 certificates of indebtedness issued in accordance
with the application of the receivers for the issuance of such
certificates, granted by the U. S. Circuit Court. The certifi­
cates are issued in coupon certificates of $1,000 each, principal
due July 1, 1897, and redeemable at $1,010 per certificate and
accrued interest at the option of the receivers upon 30 days
notice. Interest to be in accordance with proposals accepted,
but not to exceed 6 per cent par annum.
Ohib Southern—The stockholders of the Ohio Southern
Railroad have confirmed the lease of the Columbus Lima &
Milwaukee Railway which is projected from Lima, the present
northern terminus of the Ohio Southern, in a northerly direc­
tion to Defiance. This will connect the Ohio Southern with
the Baltimore & Ohio, the Wabash, the Toledo St. Louis &
Kansas City and the New York Chicago & St. Louis rail­
roads. It will give the Ohio Southern ah entrance into Toledo
and Detroit and will also afford an outlet for the product of its
coal mines to the lake ports. About $350,000 ha3 already
been expended, and the grading is neariy all done. First
mortgage 5 per cent bonds will be issued at the rate of $15,000
a mile, guaranteed by Ohio Southern.
Pacific Mail.—Mr. C. P. Huntington, President of the com­
pany, is reported in the papers as saying that during his man­
agement he had reduced the floating debt from $1,200,000
to about $290,000 out of earnings, and that it is proposed to
cancel the $5,000,000 of bonds authorized a few years ago.
Sioux City & Northern—Great Northern.—The suit for
foreclosure of the Sioux City & Northern mortgage came up
in the Federal Court at Sioux City October 2, but action was
deferred until November 20, when case will be heard in
Dubuque, Iowa.
Southern Railway Company.—The Richmond Terminal
Reorganization Committee October 18 goes through the for­
mality, pursuant to the plan of reorganization, of selling out
the collateral held by it for the old East Tennessee Virginia &
Georgia’s floating debt, in the same way as it recently sold
out and bought in the collateral for the Richmond & Danville
debt. The securities will be bought in by the committee and
for the most part canceled.

Staten Island Perry—Staten Island Rapid Transit.—

The Staten Island Rapid Transit RR. Co. has obtained a
license from the Richmond County Court to operate a ferry
between Staten Island and New York, and proposes to run a
ferry in opposition to that for which Mr. Carroll obtained the
franchise last week.
Mr. Carroll, when he purchased his franchise from the city
of New York last week, understood that he was to have the
exclusive right to ferry privileges, etc. He will therefore
seek to have the city protect him from a rival line.
Toledo Ann Arbor & North Michigan.—The Martin-Law
rence committee and the Qnintard committee have coma to
an understanding and are jointly preparing a reorganization
plan which it is expected will b; issufd next week. The Quintard committee is said to represent in aldition to the consols
a share of the Cadillac and the Mt. Pleasant bonds. The rep­
resentatives of the consols are understood to have agreed to
accept for their bonds a security which shall not be a fixed
charge. Messrs. Murray, Quincy and Stedman, representing
the stock, it is said, will resist any plan which calls for an
assessment of over 5 per cent.
Late Friday afternoon the New York News Bureau pub­
lished the following: It is learned that the basi3 of the Lawrence-Quintard plan of reorganization will be a $7,000,000 4
per cent first consolidated mortgage. All of the existing first
liens are to be foreclosed. The present first mortgage bonds
are to be funded into the new mortgage as follows: Grand
Trunk firsts at 115; North Michigan firsts at 112; Mt. Pleasant
firsts, Cadillac and Frankfort division issues at par and
Lake Michigan firsts at 80. In all cases a certain amount
of preferred stock will be given for the arrears of interest.
The consolidated mortgage bonds are to receive preferred
stock for their par and accrued interest. The plan contem­
plates wiping out absolutely the present stock, but it is un­
derstood that the holders will be given an opportunity to be­
come interested in the new company to the extent of 50 per
cent of their present holdings upon $10 per share for the
new stock. The total interest charge under the reorganization
will be $280,000, which, it is argued, the property can readily
earn.

The mileage of mam track from which these earnings
were derived has been the same as in the previous year.
The Mt. Gilead Short Line (2 miles), which was operated by
this Company, earned $4,400 00, a decrea-e of $571 78 from the
previous year ; the operating expenses were s5.489 75, show­
ing a deficit for the year’s operation of $1,089 75, an increase
over the previous year of $843 12.
The Kankakee & Seneca Radroad (42'08 miles in length),
operated jointly for account of our Company and the Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific, earned, gross, $79,714 43 : the operat­
ing expenses were $146,225 96; deficit, $66,511 53, which has
been advanced by our Company. The explanation of this
large drficit is m the fact that the two large biidges on the
road were constructed of wood when the road was built, and
both had to be rtnewed in the past year and new and im­
proved iron bridges were erected m the place of the original
wooden structures, ard the expense of the same, amounting
to $45,809 77, was charged to expi uses.
The Peoria & Eastern, from Springfield, O., to Peoria HI
(352 miles in length) earned, gross, $1,609,805 61 ,- operating
expenses, $1,432,616 23 ; net, $177,189 38 ; fixed charge, $441,620 00 ; deficit, $264,430 62; the explanation of this large
deficit will be found on a subsequent Dase.
The above lines make a total mileage of track on all the
system, operated and controlled by this Comptny, including
double track and sidings, of 3,099 40, The total gross earn­
ings of the entire system have been $14,727.969 31; net earn­
ings, $3,393,133 50; being a loss in gross earniDgs as compared
with the previous j ear of $1,769,604 57 and in net earnings
of $577,319 72.
s
These results are in general explained by the published
monthly reports of the Company and the well-known business
conditions of the country during the period which they
cover. With tbe opening of this fiscal year (July 1, 1893;.
the panic, sc-( ailed, of 1893 was at its height, and freight
traffic, like other business, was greatly depressed. This
condition continued with more or less intensity during the
entire fiscal year, involving decreased rates to meet competi­
tion and the necessities of business, and your Company also suf­
fered largely from the depression of local industries along the
line, and wnat freight earnings it had were produced in a
larger proportion than usual from through business. Ibis
necessarily carried down the through rate per ton per mile
and involved relatively larger operating expenses. The de­
creased freight earnings were partially compensated for in the
first three months ot* ihe fiscal year by the large passenger
earnings from travel to and from the Caicago Exposition, but
as these earnings were chiefly upon the Chicago division of
the sjstem (250 miles in length), the results were not of im­
portance in the general earnings of the system. Daring the
nine months following there was a continual shrinkage on all
divisions in passenger earnings. This shrinkage was greater
than could be met by reduction of train service, and, conse­
quently, as will be seen by the Auditot’s report, the earnings
per train mile were reduced from the previous year, and this
materially afftcted the net.
During the year the $5,000,000 of consolidatfd bonds
alluded to in the last report were sold and the proceeds ap­
plied to the reduction of tbe floating debt and to the improve­
ments which were under way and which had to be completed
in order to enable the Company to transact its business prop­
erly. The various construction accounts can be seen in state­
ment “ B ” of the Auditor’s report. The sale of these $5 000,C00 of bonds placed the Company in excellent financial
condition. It will he noticed by the Auditor’s balance sheet
(“A’ ) attached that the bills payable have been practicallv
extinguished.
Of the equipment notes seated in the balance sheet, $690,632 25 are due in the coming fiscal year, and to meet these
and such other payments as the Company may have, outside
of current operating expenses, it is entitled under tbe terms
of the general mortgage to sell $1,000,000 of the consolidated
bonds.
During the year the shops and yards at Bellefontaine, on
the Indianapolis Division, were completed at an expense of
something over $200,000; the shop and yard improvements at

were
completed, new round-house and shops and new freight
house were completed, at a cost of over $162,000; at various
other points yards were put in and sidings to enable the
Company to conduct its business economically, and notwith
standing the severe crisis through which the Company ha«
been passing, its physical condition at the end of the vear
far better than ever before.
y ar ia
Since the consolidation the Company has purchased and
added to its equipment 5,989 freight cars, 75 passenger car«
and 180 locomotives. These have added largely to the canacfiy of the equipment, as the new cars and locomotives were
all of modern type. A statement of the present equinmenr
is attached.
^
Since the formation of the present Company, it has suent
m renewals of rails $696,125 47; about 19,000 tons of 80-pound
and 32,000 tons of 67-pound rail having been used in replacing
rail weighing 56 and 60 pounds per yard. The entire differt
ence in cost of renewing these old rails with the heavier rails
has been charged to operating expenses.
During the same time $167,724 15 has been expended and
charged to expenses for interlocking plants at the various
railway crossings; $1,287,129 50 has bsen sprnt and charged
to operating expenses for bridges and trestles ; $678,935 93 has
also been spent on buildings and stations.
In addition to the above items, charged to operating ex­
penses, $1,927,885 24 has been charged to construction, of which
$416,956 07 has been expended for sidings for passing of train»
and for commercial purposes ; $320,095 62 for tracks at yards
and terminals; $498,482 32 for shops, round-houses, etc •
$191,035 61 for stations; $319,594 87 for additional real estate •
$85,887 02 for change of alignment; $136,443 53 for new double
track ; $6,223 92 for miscellaneous construction. New shops
and yards have been established at Linndale (near Cleveland) •
new yards at Springfield, at Cincinnati, at the Belt Junction
at Indianapolis ; one of the most complete freight houses in
the United States has been built at Indianapolis : new round­
house and shops on the Chicago Division at Indianapolis, en­
larged yards at Kankakee, and new shops and yards at Belle­
fontaine. The condition of the property is now such that
your management feel that no extensive improvements should
be undertaken for the present.
The future, like that of all railway properties, depends,
largely upon the rates. By examining the Auditor’s state­
ment “ G,” it will be observed that the tons of freight carried
one mile for tbe last year decreased only about 9 per cent
from that of the year before, while the earnings decreased
about 16 per cent; the average receipts per ton mile going
from 7'01 mills to 6'49 mills. This is due in a gr-at measure
to the fact previously stated that the Coaipanv handled a
greater proportion of through freight than in former years.
The earnings per freight tram mile decreased from $1 4t to
$1 36; the earnings of passenger trains decreased from
$1 0/ 65-100 to $1 04 26-100, and this earning Der mile was*
only saved hy the greatest pruning of train mileage ia all
places possible.
The interchange of business for the past fiscal year with the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway and Chesapeake &
Ohio Railway, our two principal connections, compared with
the year previous, has been as follows :

Allusion has already been made to the large deficit in the
operations of the Peoria & Eastern Railway. This is due
chiefly to the fact that local business during the year has been
very dull and a larger percentage of earnings than usual hasbeen derived from through business. This will be understood
when it is stated that the average rate per ton per mile during
the year just closed was 5 48-100 mills, as against 6 66-100 the
year before. This road extends from Springfield, Ohio , via
Indianapolis. Danville, Bloomington and PekiD. to Peoria, III.,
352 miles. Itis through a very good country and is well located
for business. The road was leased in 1890 for its net earnings,
your Company agreeing, however, that incase its net earnings
m any year should be insufficient to maintain it and pay its
interest, it would advance the money and recoup itself out of
future net earnings. The fixed charges thus guaranteed were
not large for a road of this length and located as this is, thesum being only $441,620 a year. It was supposed at the timethe lease was made that the renewals and replacements could
he made from the earnings. It has been impossible, however,
under the unfavorable conditions prevailing, to operate the
road for a low enough percentage to produce net earnings suffi­
cient to pay the fixed charges and make such improvements
as were absolutely essential, and for the four years there is a
deficit of $585,825 11, which this Company has advanced, to be
repaid out of future net earnings. In additioa to this, in order
to put the road in condition to earn its way, there has been
expended for land $843 88, for new sidings $93,905 94, for new
machinery for shops $11,102 96, for new gravel pit $1,794 53,
for old claims prior to lease $364 18. for new locomotives
$198,906 08, for reduction of grades and change of line $254,555 72. The latter amount would not have been spent at this
time were it not for the fact that the old bridges and trestles
had to be renewed and it was cheaper to rebuild them on new
and improved grade and make a permanent work. We are
glad to say that the line and its equipment to-day is in good

O ctober

obvsical condition and ought to be operated for the coming
vears on such a percentage as will produce sufficient earnings
to take care of its fixed charges and gradually extinguish the
sum advanced by this Company. In part payment of the
total amount advanced for additions and betterments of
*'566 472 77, this Company has received the notes of the
Peoria & Eastern Railway for $367,566 69, for which it has
received $897,000 of its consolidated bonds as collateral. .
During the year the State of Indiana obtained judgment in
the suit to recover back taxes for $360,000. This suit involved
the validity of the assessment made by the officials of the
State of Indiana in 1891, when the valuation of the property
was raised from eight millions of dollars to twenty millions.
We are led to believe, as were the other railway companies
of the State, that this assessment was illegal and ought not
to be paid. The Company continued to charge up to ex­
penses and pay the amount of taxes equivalent to the pre­
vious assessments, but the excess was not provided for.
Your careful attention is called to the attached statements
of the Auditor, as it is believed that they will give a full and
complete history of the operations of the Company for the
past" year and its condition at the close ; also to statements
showing the mileage and equipment of the Company.
To those employees who have remained with the Company
during the trials of the year and served it faithfully, the
thanks of the management are hereby publicly given.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Some dissatisfaction is expressed regarding the condition of
business in many leading articles of merchandise. Retailers
and jobbers are making small purchases, and as a sequence
the demand upon the supply of goods in first hands is disap­
pointing. Speculation in staple commodities for future de­
livery has been moderate as a rule. Low temperature was
reported from the northern and middle latitudes, but no
verified accounts of serious damage to crops have been re­
ceived. Early-sown wheat shows promising conditions, but
the late seeding germinates slowly in consequence of deficiency
of moisture. Fall work in the agriculturalsections of Kansas,.
Nebraska, Kentucky and Tennessee has been retarded in
consequence of dry weather. Small amounts of new crop corn
have been marketed and the old crop is coming forward with,
considerable freedom from many localities. Export demand
for wheat and flour has been moderate and of routine char­
acter. Cured meats are selling slowly and values showweakness.
Lard on the spot has been in light request, but prices have
been without important changes, closing steady at 8'10c. for
prime Western, 7^ c. for prime City and 8 50c. for refined for
the Continent. The speculation in lard for future deliyery
has been slow but prices have held steady with the West.

slow request, but prices have been quoted unchanged t
day the market for wheat flour was quiet and unchanged
Speculation in the market for wheat futures has been cmjpf
and prices have steadily declined under free offering?
prompted by lu ll foreign advices and a full movement of ths
crop at the Northwest. The report by the Government
Agricultural Bureau indicates a crop of 432,000,000 bushels
but the trade generally discredited it and prices were not af’
fected. The spot market, despite the decline in futures has
been firmly held, the offerings having been small. The ’sales
yesterday included No. 2 red winter at lc. over December
f. o. b. afloat. Local millers have been good buyers o f wheat
to arrive, and their purchases yesterday included No. 2 red
winter, c. i. f., to Buffalo, at 2%@3^c. under December and
No. 1 hard, c. i. f., to Buffalo, at 6e. o v e r December. To-dav
the market was easier during early ’Change in response to
weaker foreign advices, but later rallied on buying by “ shorts’’
to cover contracts. The spot market was quiet. The sales
included No. 2 red winter at December price delivered and
old No. 2 red winter at %c. over December f. o. b. afloat.

xne market for Indian corn futures was stronger early in
the week on buying by shorts to cover contracts, stimulated
by a material shrinkage in the supply in sight, but subse­
quently a larger movement of the crop than was expected
caused a decline. The yield of the crop, as indicated by the
Government report, is 1,170,000,000 bushels, but the trade
generally was disposed to look upon it as too low. The spot
market has been firmer but quiet. The sales yesterday in-,
eluded No. 2 mixed at 56%@57c. delivered. To day the mar­
ket was quiet and easier. The spot market was dull. The

For the better grades of wheat flour the market has been
®-^reia?ely slow, and as holders have shown some anxiety to
sell, prices have been weak. Low grades have received more
attention and as supplies have been limited prices have been
well held. Rye flour has been practically neglected and
quotations have been largely nominal. Buckwheat flour has
sold moderately well at steady prices. Corn meal has been in

DRY GOODS TRADE.

N ew Y o r k , F r i d a y , P. M., October 12,1894.
The market has passed through another week of dull trade
inboth cotton and woolen goods, the expected revival of de­
mand for supplementary supplies not putting in an appear­
ance. A strictly-observed Jewish holiday in the middle of the
week had some effect in reducing business, and the weather,
although more seasonable than of late, has hardly been cold
enough to stimulate distribution of retailers’ stocks in a
marked degree. Still they have done better this week than
before this season, and improved results at first hands are
looked for with the coming week, as a renewal of demand
upon jobbers’ supplies would mean a speedy recourse of the
latter to the primary market, as they are believed to be carry­
ingsmall reserve supplies. The situation in cotton goods is
without material alteration ; stocks show no signs of accumu­
lating and prices are generally steady, although there have
been exceptional instances of slight concessions made in heavy
staple goods. Buyers are showing no anxiety over spring
supplies. The continued downward course of the cotton mar­
ket evidently suggests an improbability of higher prices for
cotton goods in general, with the possibility of a return to a
lower range, and jobbers are in no hurry to make purchase s
of any quantity of either staples or fancies.
Do m e s t ic C o t t o n G o o d s . —The exports of cotton goods
from this port for tbe week ending Oct. 9 were 2,754
packages, valued at $164,363, their destination being to the
points specified in the table below

best feature of this department, all descriptions of tbe plain
and rough-faced staples and fancies being in active request
in face of a market bare of supplies. In men’s-wear lines
the demand has continued very quiet. Even for low and
medium grades in Clay worsteds, cheviots, cassimeres and
piece-dyed staples of various kinds orders have been decidedly
moderate, whilst, with few exceptions, the finer qualities are
treated indifferently. In the latter only an occasional agent
has done well, but in other descriptions quite a number have
sold all or nearly the whole of their production for spring.
Orders still come to h&nd for heavy weights for immediate use,
but they are for small quantities only. Overcoatings dull
throughout. Cotton-Warp and cotton-mixed goods also dull.
Woolen and worsted dress goods in lower grade fairly re­
ordered for fall, with moderate business secured for spring.
Flannels, blankets and carpets unchanged.
F o r e i g n D r y G o o d s . —A limited business reported in sea­
sonable merchandise again this week, without special feature
beyond cleaning out broken stocks incidental to the advanced
stage of the season. Moderate orders for spring reported in
woolen and worsted, these goods in low and high grades.
Fine cotton fabrics in fair demand. Silks quiet in ail liues.

business still restricted by scarcity of drills for immediate
shipment on new orders. Prices without material change.
Bleached cottons in all grades and wide sheetings dull but
prices generally well maintained. Kid-finished cambrics are
selling very slowly but with print cloths firm prices do not
give way. Other linings quietly steady. There has been
more business doing in staple and fancy white goods, sellers
showing more disposition to accept orders. In all colored
cottons business is confined to moderate purchases with a few
exceptions in denims for cutting-up purposes, but prices are
unaltered. Business in printed fabrics has been decidedly
moderate, both in fancies and other regular lines, but stocks
are well cleaned up and prices firm. The gingham market is
dull throughout, fall business being practically over and
spring lines not yet openly before buyers. Print cloths have
ruled nominally firm at 3c. for extras, although one small sale
made at 2 15-16c., business being restricted by scarcity of
supplies.

M U N ICIPAL BOND SA LE S I N SEPTEMBER.
The record of municipal bond sales for the month
of September which is given below shows that the
total amount of the new issues marketed was $8,249,847. It will be noticed that there were but few large
loans floated, and in fact if the New Orleans issue of
$4,500,000 were omitted, our total would be smaller
than for any previous month this year. Ia a few in­
stances bonds were withdrawn from the market, as no
satisfactory proposals were received, but on the other
hand some of the prices reported were unusually high.
That there has been a good demand in general for thisclass of securities is indicated by the long lists of bids
which were received for many of the choice loans.
In the following table we give the prices which were
paid for September loans to the amount of $7,622,347,
issued by 59 municipalities. The aggregate of sales for
which no price was reported is $627,000, and the total
sales for the month $8,249,347. In the case of each
loan reference is made to the page of the Chronicle
where a full account of the sale is given.
