In comparison with the preceding week there is a decrease in the aggregate exchanges of ninety million dollars, the loss at New York being sixty- three millions. Contrasted with the week of 1899 the total for the whole country shows a decline of 12*7 per cent. Compared with the week of 1898 the current returns record an increase of 15*8 per cent, and the excess over 1897 is 20*2 per cent. Outside of New York the increase over 1899 is 0'9 per cent.

We have often wondered why it is that political experts persist in arguing that because large crowds have gathered to witness a well-advertised political demonstration, therefore it follows that the people have the cause of that demonstration near their hearts. There is more than one variety of the so-called "mass-meeting." We suppose, political loyalty for instance, that the inference of may reasonably be drawn from the kind of gatherings with which most of us have been familiar the "rally" held in an extremely uncom fortable hall, with a distressing amateur " band " and a series of more or less dull and tedious campaign Constant and regular attendance on this speeches. sort of function would really, we should say, prove — genuine devotion to the purposes of the meetings. If the people were not eager to make a show of such devotion, they certainly would not endure the inconvenience of attending, and the orators would talk to empty benches. But we greatly doubt pened to fall on the very day when Kruger issued his ultimatum. As a result, the hall was crowded to its utmost limits. Yet nobody seriously believes that this meant overwhelming animosity to England in New York. If President Krttger had appeared in person, no hall in New York could have contained the audience ; and if Mr. Chamberlain had undertaken subsequently to come over and address an "antiBoer demonstration * we have not the slightest doubt that his meeting too would have been filled to overMoreover, we are sure that very much the flowing. same audience would have attended both. The moral which we wish to draw from this, and which we presume most thinking people draw, is that the enormous gatherings at last Tuesday's Bryan demonstrations merely proved, to use a theatre manager's expression, that Mr. Bryan is a first-class attraction. It seems, in fact, hardly to have occurred to anybody that the crowd which gathered in the Madison Square Garden to hear the same candidate in August 1896, on the eve of New York's overwhelming vote against him, was at least as large as last Tuesday's, and by some accounts considerably It is perfectly true that Tuesday's audiences larger. of Gold. NakBelg Holding*. $5,118,000 movement, as above The Bank Net Change in Bank the rule applies in any degree to a meeting in a great city, shrewdly announced and advertised beforehand, and provided liberally with inducements in the shape of speakers if whose names the newspapers have for months made household words. As a theme of interest, discussion and entertainment, an occasion of this sort outstrips any performance at the theatres, and has the added and not inconsiderable advantage of charging no admission. To take a single instance, unconnected with politics: Exactly a year ago, a mass meeting to declare sympathy with the Boers was announced in Carnegie Hall. Several well-known and popular orators were on the list of speakers; the date of the meeting hap- 781 kept their places throughout Mr. Bryan's speech, whereas the audience of 1896 stampeded before the speech was fairly under way. It is also true that enthusiasm was shown in the crowds this year, Bat the exas it certainly was not four years ago. planation of all this is simple enough. The speaker endeavored in 1896 to address his audience with a serious financial argument, and that very quickly turned out not to be what they had expected. They had been promised an orator who should hypnotize them, and they found a rather dull economic essayist. This year most of the audience heard what they came to hear a fire-brand orator with a gift of facile eloquence and a reckless freedom in handling a score of controverted questions. They did not feel that they had been cheated as they were by the solemn deliverance of 1896, and they expressed their appreciation as they would have expressed it at a theatrical show which amused and entertained them. We are aware that this view of the case ignores the value to a candidate of a large audience, whereby he can get a hearing for his views. But Bryan, of all men, had no need to gather an audience for this purpose. Not one of his opinions was new, and every one of the topics which he discussed last Tuesday had been threshed out months ago by more competent hands than his. If a voter had not been convinced of the evils of the so-called "Imperialism" by a writer and speaker of such mark as Mr. Schurz, we hardly imagine he would be converted by Mr. Bryan. Furthermore, it is certainly our opinion that most of the wild assertions put forth by the orator last Tuesday evening missed their purpose, for the very reason that they were uttered in a large and mixed gathering. A club of anarch- — exciting one another into frenzy against the existing order, might be stirred by a candidate's declarists, ation that "the reason they [his opponents] want a large standing army is to build a fort in this city and use the army to suppress by force the discontent Bat was not a club of anarchists to which this remarkable declaration was addressed.

It is obvious, too, that being managed in accordance with a well-defiaed policy and along broad lines. Evidences of this are found in the arrangements made for permanent terminals at Chicago and at St. Paul and Minneapolis, the latter including the purchase at Minneapolis of a piece of ground for freight terminthe property als at is a cost of $500,000 ; also, in the consolidation and concentration of the car and locomotive shops with the view to more economical repairing, and in the rearrangement of the intermediate yards so as to promote economy of operations. The management is an unusually strong one, Mr. George Coppell being Chairman of the Board, and the Executive Committee, comprising, besides Mr. Cjppell, John Crosby Brown, William L. Bull, Charles C. Baaman and H. F. Whitcomb. A conservative and far sighted policy is being pursued, and large amounts are being appropriated out of earnings, directly and indirectly, for improvements, In the twelve months betterments and renewals. ending June 30, 1900, $1,258,944 was spent upon maintenance of way and structures and upon maintenance of equipment, and charged to expenses, against only $994,203 so spent in the year preceding. Notwithstanding the enlarged outlay in this way, which and after the anti- imperialist demonstration is comment enough on his sincerity. That the candidate is perfectly capable of abandoning the whole Philippine discussion, if he were to discover a dislike to it on the part of his audiences, is proved incontestably by his present refusal to say a word on the currency question, though he declared in 1896 that his public advocacy of free silver coinage would cease only with his death. As regards the practical sifting out of policies from the mass of words, President Eliot's remark sufficiently sums up the situation, with the increase in transportation cost left the that while "President McKinley and Mr. Bryan use net earnings slightly less than in the previous until after his nomination different phrases in describing when it came their foreign policies; year ($2,056,480 to action, in all probability their policies gain of $519,397 against in the $2,060,529) gross in face receipts, the of a in- would be much alike." come account shows a surplus over and above the pursue this topic further ; indeed, it has often seemed to us a waste of words to discuss the probable policies of one who has shown throughout his brief career that his opinions are guided by nothing except the poesible winning of votes.

While on the one hand fixed charges were cut down about onethird (say from about $1,200,000 per annum to $800,000), earnings on the other hand have been enlarged in a very noteworthy way. The report covers only the results for the late year, but President Monsarrat points out that the earnings were largely in excess of those of any previous period in the history of the property. He gives, moreover, a statement to show that the gain in the gross earnings as compared with the year preceding was $1,543,232 and the gain in the net $861,545.

Of the two most important political events which have for a long time past weighed upon the Stock Exchange, one has The result of virtually been decided as the market wished. the second still remains to be seen. I refer of course to our own elections to the Imperial Parliament now in progress and to the Presidential election on your side about to commence. Some two- thirds of the total members of our House of Commons have already been elected, and so far as we are able to judge the Government majority will be even greater than it was at the last general election in 1895. This in itself would be no matter for congratulation, for the Government majority was already unduly large, were it not for the fact that the issue has been fought upon Imperialist as opposed to Whatever may be thought of the wislittle England linf s. dom or otherwise of contesting the question at the present time and forcing on the so-called Khaki election, it is certainly of the utmost importance that the question having been put to the electorate in the form in which it was that the country should reply with unmistakable unanimity for the maintenance of the Empire and the defence of its interests wherever they may be assailed. Home questions have been wholly ignored in thi3 election. Many voters who would not on such occasions support a Unionist Cabinet have vo*ed solidly for the incorporation of the two recently-conquered States within the pale of the Empire. This great Imperialist question being, as we hoped, settled once and for all, the public is turning its attention to the deOn your side interest will no doubt be tails of the contest. taken, as indeed it is with ourselves, in the success of Mr. Winston Spencer Churchill, son of the late Lord Randolph and of Mrs. George Cornwallis West. Mr. Churchill made a very pTucky tight, and so narrow was his majority that at one time it was feared he had been defeated. Another hardfought cons ituency in which, however, the Unionist candidate has been defeated by a sma'l majority, was that of West Southwark, where Sir Alfred Newton, Lord Mayor of London, contested the seat in Government interest. Sir Alfred settled in the borough about 20 years ago as a yeast merchant, but his opponent, Mr. Causton, is a large employer of labor in the district, is very popular, and was a strong local candidate. One incident doubtless attracted support and certainly sympathy to the Lord Mayor's candidature, and that was the brutal assault upon his son, Mr. Harry Newton, a young fellow of 24, an Oxford man and a barrister, who recently served with the City Imperial Volunteers. Mr. Newton was attending one of his father's meetings in the borough and the rough element at the back of the room attempted to create a disturbance. Mr. Newton is a tall, athletic young man, and when the officials found difficulty in removing the obstructionists he went to their assistance, with the result that he got a bad gash right across the right side of his face and had hi3 nose badly broken. It is hoped, however, owing to his youth that he will recover wi'houtsustaming any permanent ill-effects. This kind of thiog, however, attracted, as said, sympathy to the Lord Mayor and certainly would have received no countenance from any serious people amongst his opponents. Such attacks are due purely to the rough element, who regard the general elec ion as a favorable opportunity for creating a row whenever possible. The result of our election so far has had a most favorable upon stock markets, prices being generally well maintained, although until it is absolutely concluded business is naturally very quiet. So far as your elections are concerned it would be of course matter of no concern for non- American citizens were it not for the fact that Mr. Bryan's viewj upon financial and economic questions are so totally at variance with those of any Constitutional country that there would b?, were it thought at all likely that he might succeed, as great alarm amongst American investors in Europe as there is on your side, on the possibility of his success. influence The European money markets have passed with rema kable ease through the trying period always more or less associated with the end of September. The Bank of England retains its official ra'e of discount at 4 per cent, and there has been a considf-rable reduction in the Bank reserve, which, however, still amounts to almost %-l% millions. The market has of course to borrow largely from the Bank; bnt it has been materially assisted by the immense expendi ure on the part of the Government in connection with the war and also in purchases of Government stores. Little apprehension has been f«-lt as to the monetary outlook here in L >ndon and in Paris; but very considerable a' arm has been experienced as to what might have happened in Berlin.

Surely it would appear that tbe rman system is the simpler of tbe two. Th-> India Council continues to be remarkably successful in tbe di poeal of its drafts. For the 20 lacs offered on Wednesd y the market applied for 430 lacs at price3 ranging from is. 3 29-32d. to Is. 3 31 32d. per rupee. Ttnders at the lower fignTe r-ceived about 4 per cent Next week 25 lacs will be offered by ihe Council. The total sales for the financial year so far—tbat is from April 1 up to Tuesday night lastam- unted to 4 l4 millions sterling, which is about half what the C uncil had realized at this date 12 months ago. The position, however, is not quite what it would appear from wha Ihavesiid because over and above tbJU 4^ millions sterling the Indian Government has issued two distinct loans, one rutee li an in Ii dia and the other a sterling loan on this side, and t« gether they give it a balance in hand which is more than sufficient to meet what are called the home charges. Tbe outlook in India has distinctly improved. Over immense areas the late drought has been succeeded by torrential rain, causing in many districts seriou8 distress and floods; but at the same time for the country taken as a whole it has proved a great Massing. The jute crop seems to be as ur-d aBd to be an abundant one; and I need not add that the demand for jate at present is enormous and the price paid for it is very much higher than it has been in recent yeaTe. Now that your market is becoming not only one of the great intunatioi al money markets of the world but is going to have what Loudon has loDg had, a large surplus of capital seeking profitable employment, the attention of American invito s mu ht vdth advantage be directed to Sjutb. African G mining and lai d companies' shares. The Orauge River Colony and toe Vaal River Colony have now ceased to be independent republics and have become integral portions of the Briti-h Empire, and will in due course be adnrmstered like other colonial possessions appertaining to the British Crown. The itflueoce of this political change upon the economic prosreriry of these two countries it is difficult to exaggerate. Every effort wilt be maie to attract white settlers and British and other capital for developing the resources of the cuntry; while the Government, instead of enricting its members, will do its utmost to push forward the generai pro per ity of the two new possessions.

President Tut' le says, in substance: General Results.— Compared with the preceding year there was an increase in gross receipts of $2,270,147; of this amount $200,000 was due to an increase in mileage. Of the increase in operating expenses ($1,856,373), about $15 'i, 000 was due to additions to the road's mileage; about $4.i 0,000 to a general advance in the price of locomotive fuel and to the larger qnan tity required; about $20f>,000 to necessary advancements and adjustments of wages; about £600,000 to additional train mileage and station service incident to the larger volume of business transacted, and the remaining $500,000 in p*rt to the generally increased cost of materials and supplies, but more largely to greater expenditures for new equipment and for improvements.

Woodford says in part: General Remarks.— The figures for the late fiscal year show an increase of gross earnings of $194,027, or 9-43 per cent, and an increase of net earnings of $146,751, or 928 per cent. The number of passengers carried one mile increased 4-25 per cent and the earnings therefrom increased 5-55 per cent. The number of tons of freight carried one mile increased 14 11 per cent; the earnings therefrom 12*44 per cent. It was expected that the generally improved freight rates prevailing during the year would produce an increase in the tonnage rate, but the large additions to the low-class tonnage neutralized the increased rates obtained.

The Lehigh Valley Company posted similar notices, and the Pennsylvania Company gave verbal notification that it would grant the concessions asked. On Thursday nearly all of the other leading anthracite companies met in Scranton and agreed to modify their previous notices, to assure the continuance of the increased wages until April 1 and thereafter till future They stipulated, however, that the reduction of notice. powder from $2 75 to $1 50 should be considered in arriving at the wages of their contract miners. It U hoped that mining operations may be resumed" early next week, though representatives of the miners claim that the powder question should be left out of the present negotiations and be settled later by arbitration.

In payment for the property above mentioned the Railway Company issued its entire capital stock amounting to $12,500,000 of Preferred Stock and $17,500,000 of Common Stock, together with $22,500,000 of its First General Mortgage Bonds, and it has since received from Messrs. Maitland, "oppell & Company, Brown Brothers & Company and Edward Sweet & Company. Reorganization Managers, $78>,28l 87 in cash, Preferre Stock of the par value of $1,220,770 49, and Common Stock of the par value of $2,439,337 45, which cash and securities a r e available for improvement of the property or for any of the purposes of the Company. The main line, branches, terminals, equipment and lands have now been united under a single ownership. A statement of mileage owned and operated will be found on page 17 of pamphlet report. A statement of lands owned will be found on page 30 of pamphlet report. The Company entered into possession of the railroad and appurtenances, and the lands, at midnight of the 17th of July, 1899, but under agreement with the Receivers, who surrendered possession at that time, and by authority of the Court, the Company took the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Receivers as of midnight on June 30th, 1899. This report, therefore covers the period from July 1st, 1899, to June 30th. 1900, inclusive. The difference between the assets and liabilities of the Receivers, the assets being the greater, was cr-dited to the cost of road and all claims aci. i this surplus there has been appropriated by the Board of Directors toward the payment of the cost of improvements 450,746 94 Leaving a net surplus to be carried forward $12,168 20 By reference to the Balance Sheet it will be seen that aside from the current vouchers and pay rolls the only indebtedness of the Company was its bonded indebtedness. There was no floating debt. The tables on page 30 in the pamphlet report give the transactions of the Land Department for the year. From these it appears that the total quantity of Jand sold amounted to 32,76« 92-100 acres for $170,470 82 The average price per acre being 5 20 , The sale of Town Lots and stuoipage amounted to 134,872 46 The royalties accruing during the year from iron ore mined from the Oompa> y's lands amounted to. 67,195 39 The gross cash reoeipts from lands, lots, stumpage. royalalties, deferred payments, interest on deterred payments, rents and trespass, was 212,055 18 The expens-es of the Land Department, including taxes and the cost of caring for the property, re 99,806 14 The total number of acres remaining in the grant on the 30th of June. 1900, were 543,733 68 100. of which «4,424 24 100 acres were under contract of sale, leaving 47:.', 291 41-100 acres unsold. Comparison of earnings and expenses of the fiscal yea r ending June 30, 1900, with earnings and expenses of the Re" ceivers in the previous fiscal year will be found in the tables accompanying this [pamphlet] report. The increase in earnings shown was due to the general improvement in business and to unusually large shipments of iron ore. The increase in expenses was due to increased business, more work done in toe Maintenance of Way and Equipment Departmsnts, increase in the prices of material and labor and the disturbance due to changing the Chicago terminal and the engine terminals between Chicago and St. Paul. The property was in better physical condition at the end of There was laid the fiscal year than at the beginning. during the year 7,375 tons of new eighty five pound and 1,263 tons of new eighty-pound steel rails a total of 8,6^8 tons. The tonnage of rails released was 6, '-'42 tons. The increase in weight of rail laid over rail taken up was 2,396 tons value, $63,599 70, The equipment destroyed in service during the year was not all replaced, but its value as charged on the Company's books, which was its estimated value on the 30th day of June, 1899, has been charged to repairs and credited to •'Equipment Renewal Fund." The credit to this fund at the end of the year was $21,772 57. w — IMPROVEMENTS. The amounts charged to Improvement Account for the year, as shown on page 804, aggregate $625,252 38. This does not include improvements charged to Operating Expenses, such as increased weight of rails, permanent bridges replacing wooden structures, filling ot bridges and trestles, etc. The expenditure for Passing and Station Tracks, $47,was made necessary by the larger volume of business, 253 83, longer trains, etc. Spurs and Mine Tracks, $23,573 49, covers the expenditures necessary to furnish shipping facilities for industries and mines. Stock Yards, $5,851 16, As the country settles up it becomes necessary to provide facilities for handling live stock. Road Improvements, $69,239 19, represents the amount charged for improving alignment, widening embankments, taking out sags, etc. in pursuance of the policy of improvement of the property. Grade Revision, $47,498 17, covers the charges made to that account up to the end of the fiscal year. The work planned for the calendar \ear had barely been commenced at that time, and the expenditures for the balance of the calendar year on that account will amount to upwards of When the work which has already been under$200,000. taken has been completed, which will not be until next spring or summer, it is expected that on the engine division cruing against the Receivers since the 30th of June, 1899, between Fond du Lac and Abbotsford the maximum tonwhich were not then entered on their books have been nage of trains will be nearly double what it was before the charged to cost of road.

It is the policy of the board to conamount to $17,638 96. tinue this work on other parts of the line as rapidly as it , , : October 2 : THE CHRONirLE. 20, 1900.] can be economically done and as the condition of the finances of the Company will allow. New Yards, §223,337 71. This expenditure was caused by the changes in engine terminals elsewhere referred to. New shop plant, Fond du Lac, $56,179 95. This covers the charges to the Fond du Lac shops up to the end of the fiscal year, as elsewhere referred to. Equipment of Cars and Locomotives to comply with the law is charged $120,308 08. At the end of the fis al year there was still some work to be done in this line, but at this writing it is practically completed. The charge of $16,911 09 to Enlarging Coal Docks at Ashland and Manitowoc is the charge to this account up to the end of the fiscal year. The balance to be expended after that date was about $14,000. New Water Stations, $4,301 03, covers a charge to that account during the fiscal year made necessary by the change in engine divisions. There were miscellaneous charges of $3,431 53, less miscellaneous credits of $012 15, to complete the account. NEW EQUIPMENT. The new equipment purchased during the year consists of the following items. 4 Freight Locomotives. 6 Switoh Locomotives. 500 Box Cars. 150 Ballast Cars. 4 Costing $6^0,590 91 The total charges f"r the year to Improvement and Equipment aggregated $1,255,843 29 This amount was provided for as follows : From proceed* of First Gen.

TERMINALS, ETC When the Wisconsin Central Railway Company commenced the operation of its railway it had a temporary arrangement for freight and passenger terminals in Chicago with the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad Company. It had a short-time arrangement for freight and passenger terminals in Milwaukee, and the use of tie track from Rugby Junction to Milwaukee with the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company. It bad a short-time arrangement with the Great Northern Railway Company for the use of that Company's line between St. Paul and Minneapolis, for the use of the Union Passenger Station at St. Paul and the Union Passenger Station at Minneapolis. It had a temporary arrangement with the Northern Paci^c Railroad Company whereby that Company handled its freight business at Minneapolis Negotiations had been in progress for some time between the receivers, on behalf of the Reorganization Committee, and the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad Company, for the use by the new Company of the Chicago Terminals of In the interest of economy it was decided to remove the locomotive shops which are now located at Waukesha, Wisconsin, and the car shops which are now located at Stevens Point, Wisconsin, to a central location, consolidatThe location chosen is two miles north ing the two plants. of'the City of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The shop buildings are well under way and it is expected that they will be completed and the shops put in operation before the end of the calendar year. The capacity of the plant will be twentyfive per cent greater than the two plants now in operation, and the buildings are being constructed so that enlargement can be economically ma'e as may become necessary. Intermediate terminal yards were formerly located at Wnukesha, South Oshkosh, Stevens Point, Abbotsford and Irvine. It was arranged to abandon the yards at Waukesha, South Oshkosh, Stevens Point and Irvine, to enlarge the yard at Abbotsford and to establish a new yard adjacent to the shop location north of Fond du Lac. Th^se changes have been made and the new arrangement, while causing more or less disturbance to the service for a time, is now working successfully. The estimated saving by the shop and yard changes is $125,000 per annum. This saving however, cannot be realized until the changes are fully completed and everything working smoothly on the new plan. Until then, necessarily, the expense of operation is increased. The change of the Chicago terminal involves also an increase in expense until the permanent facilities are ready for use, which will be some time after the first of the coming year.

Eckbr, Auditor. October THE CHRONICLE. 20, 1900.] 815 THE DISTILLING COMPANY OF AMERICA. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT— FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE Jersey City, N. J., October 17, 1900. Company was organized with an authorized capital of $55,000,000 preferred stock and $70,000,000 common stock. The present Board of Directors, Officers and Executive Committee were elected on August 30th. 1899. The Board of Directors on February 19th, 1900, subject to proper action anl approval to be had by the stockholders, resolved that $20,000,000 of the unissued preferred stock and $20,000,000 of the unissued common stock should be can- This celed. The Company has alreadv acquired (a) 324,634 shares of stock of American Spirits Manufacturing Co., the total issue of which is 350,000 shares : ; shares of stock of Spirits Distributing Co., first and second preferred, the total issue of which is 28.V50 shares; the total common stock of that Company, 36,750 shares, belongs to the Standard Distilling & Distributing Co.; (c) 226,269 shares of stock of Standard Distilling & Distributing Co., the total issue of which is 240,000 shares (d) 26-<,O0O shares of stock of Kentucky Distilleries & Warehouse Co the total issue of which is 290,000 shares and (e) 9,990 shares of stock of Hannis Distilling Company, of Philadelphia, and Baltimore, Maryland, the total issue of (6) 25,<>55 ; . ; which is 10,000 shares. The total issued stock of The Distilling Company of America is 462,520 common shares and 312,500 preferred shares, or a total of 775,020 shares. There remains unissued in the Treasury 237,480 common and 237,500 preferred shares, or a total of 474,980 shares. There is held of the above issued stock in trust by the Central Trust Co. of New York, a proportionate amount of each class of stock, with which to purchase, if deemed desirable, the amount of the Constituent Companies' stock not yet acquired. The business of the Companies is the manufacture of spirits and alcohol, Kentucky, known as Bourbon, whiskey, and Rye whiskey, and their blending, compounding and distribution. The spirits and alcohol business is conducted by the (a) American Spirits Manufacturing Co., organized Aug. 22, 1895. Spirits Distributing Co., organized Jan. 4. 1896. Distributing Co., organized 27, 1898. (6) (c) Standard Distilling & June The Kentucky or Bourbon whiskey business is conducted by the (d) Kentucky Distilleries & Warehouse Co., organized Feb. 3, 1899, and The Rye whiskey business is carried on by the (e) Hannis Distilling Company, organized April 28, 1871. The business of the American Spirits Manufacturing Co. is the distillation and sale of spirits and alcohol. The Spirits Distributing Co. owns and conducts the blending and distributing business of H. H. Shufeldt & Co. of Chicago and of the st. Paul Distilling Co. of South St. Paul, Minn. The Standard Distilling & Distributing Co. is engaged in the business of selling and distributing spirits and alcohol and has a large number of distributing branches. These Companies are separate corporations and are governed as such. Many economies have been effected in the respective constituent companies by the concentration of both producing and distributing plants, but further material economies might be brought about by conducting the entire spirit and alcohol branch through one corporation. Your management has in contemplation the suggestion (if the same can be legally and equitably accomplished) of merging the American Spirits Manufacturing Co. and the Spirits Distributing Co.; this would effect considerable savings in corporate taxes, administrative charges and cost of handling the spirit business. The business in Bourbon and Rye whiskies is entirely distinct from that of spirits and alcohol— the business of fine whiskies being absolutely based on brands and trademarks, and the business of spirits and alcohol being one of finished raw material, in which the brand generally cuts no figure. It is a well-known fact that each standard brand of whiskey, Bourbon or Rye, has its own peculiar taste and bouquet, to which the individual drinker of straight whiskey has become accustomed. There are in the United States about 4,000 wholesale liquor dealers and rectifiers who blend and compound fine whiskies with spirits. Each one of these dealers has built up his own business, based on the use of one or more brands of Kentucky or Bourbon whiskey, or one or more brands of Eastern Rye whiskey, or both. These whiskies, in fact, are as indispensable to the compounder and bleeder as flour is to the baker. There is no other business in which the brand is more essential, therefore there is no other business where the value of brands and trade marks greater. 7b e Kentucky Distilleries Warehouse Co. owns more tan 90? of all the standard brands of Bourbon whiskey, the reputations of which were built up through the expenditure of many millions of dollars and many years of effort. Fifty is - & 30, 1900. Million Dollars ($50,000,000) is alow estimate of the amount expended to establish these brands. The storage item is a feature peculiar to the straight whiskey business. It requires from four to six years to properly mature straight whiskies. The Internal Revenue law provides that after the whiskies are manufactured, they must be deposited in the United States Bonded Warehouses connected with the distilleries, such whiskies remaining under the charge and supervision of the United States Government officials until the tax is paid or the whiskies exported. The law provides that they may 'remain in these warehouses for a period of eight years, after which the tax must be paid unless the goods be exported from this country. The long-established charge for storage is five cents per barrel per month. The warehouses belonging to the Kentucky Distilleries & Warehouse Co. now contain over 800, 0CO barrels of whiskey in storage, the storage revenue from which is more than $450,000 per annum. The storage is a lien on the whiskey and provides sure revenue, which is as fixed and absolute as is the Government Revenue itself. Herewith are appended the reports, balance sheets, statements of profit and loss accounts and net earnings, and a summary of current net assets of the Companies, as at June 30th, 1900. The total amount of current net assets, independent of real estate, plants, machinery, propertes, brands, trade-marks, etc., is, as shown in the summary, $7,494,372 03. The business of the Companies has with great effort been now so systematized as to render It practicable in the and the same future to make statements semi annually will hereafter be made as soon as possible after January first and July first in each year. The magnitude of this Company's undertaking can be better appreciated after a careful study of the various Balance Sheets, with the knowledge that the Constituent Companies own and control 96 separate plants, and that the volume of business, including the revenue tax for the period ending June 30th, 1900, amounted to $81,108,842 59. The work of the first year has been chiefly formative, and has prescribed great and difficult tasks in the proper organization, systematization and unification of the business, with resulting economies, and in devising methods to handle the large business compactly, economically and with ; facility. The plants have been kept in first-class physical condition, equipped with modern machinery and well fitted to produce cheaply and with the best results. The cost of all repairs required to put and keep the properties in good condition has been charged to operating expenses and therefore nothing need be written off for depreciation. spirit business (distinguished from the whiskey busifrom the time of the failure of the Distilling & Cattle Feeding Company, 1891-5, has, with slight intervals, been in a condition of turmoil and a continuing succession of trade wars until the tenth of last September, at which time a general understanding was effected with all the interests in the trade, and the situation now promises to be lasting and fruitful of good results. The condition of this branch of the business has never been as satisfactory as at the present The ness), time. This result was possible and was accomplished only through the ability of the companies to manufacture at less cost than competitors, and also by reason of their more highly organized and efficient machinery of distribution. The condition of the spirit business to-day is better than The it has been at any time during the past twentv years. scarcely equals the demand. Stocks in the hands of dealers are entirely exhausted. This state of affairs, it is believed, may be continued almost indefinitely, provided the market is kept sufficiently low to obviate the production temptation for new competitive spirit distilleries. The Kentuckv situation may be summed up in a few words. Since the latter part of 1893, owing to the very large over-production of the standard brands of Kentucky whiskies in 1890, 1891, 1892 and 1893, that industry has been in a state of demoralization, from which it is only now recovering. The bonded period, as already stated, is eight years; therefore all whiskies manufactured" previous to 1893 have been withdrawn and practically consumed. What are called "floor stocks," that is, tax- paid whiskies in the hands of the dealers, have been reduced to a minimum. Gallons. Of the crop of 1894, there remained in bond June 30, 1900.. .3,981, 387 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898, Total 8.301,095 >' >' '« <• « « » '« «' ...8.779.811 ...4,213.672 ..12,292,360 37,571,325 The average annual withdrawals for the past eleven years were 17.106,458 gallons, so that the shortage of matured whiskies is unparalleeld in the history of the business. I quote from Bonfort's Wiue and Spirit Circular of September 25th, 1900, a conservative trade journal, which has * . THE CHRONICLE. 816 heretofore been extremely pessimistic in its view of the Kentucky situation do not remember anv period in twenty years " when the outlook seemed so favorable for the fine whiskies of Kentucky as at the present time. Statistically, "the market is extraordinarily strong, and although this " strength is not apparent, as yet, to the casual observer, "it only requires a little activity in the market to ex" hibit it to the most skeptical." What is here stated as to the Kentucky market applies with even greater force to the Eastern Bje Whiskey "We market. The American Spirits Manufacturing Company, Company Spirits & Distributing and Hannis Distilling Company, as at present Distributing Company, Standard Distilling financed, have sufficient working capital for normal requireWarehouse Co. could ments. The Kentucky Distilleries utilize additional working capital to the extent of $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, the use of which would at once largely increase its profits and hasten the development of its great earning capacity. Under existing circumstances it is deemed appropriate to refer to the fact that since the organization of this Company false rurnois reflecting upon its condition, affairs and management have been persistently disseminated in different ways, including the institution of certain suits, all for questionable purposes, and a portion of which, at least, are inspired hy an attorney dismissed from the employ of one of the constituent companies. Through untrue reports and the instigation of suits (the complaints in some of which were published in the press before being filed in Court) by some real or pretended holders of a few shares of stock, the credit of the different Companies was affected, and it has required persistent effort on the part of your management to recover from these attacks but to-day the credit and commercial standing of the Companies are good. These occurrences brought about the formation of an independent Protective Committee of stockholders, which & ; was announced on December 26th, 1899. Your management immediately extended to the Committee every opportunity for the fullest examination into the affairs of this and the The plan will doubtless be promptly approved, if favorable to the property and the stockholders, and if the cost of procuring such additional capital is not excessive. If the plan is not approved, the only effect so far as the Company and the stockholders are concerned, will be that dividends will be deferred until such additional working capital has been set aside from the profits, and this can probably be easily done within the present current year, or, at the latest, within the year following. Considering the obstacles surrounding the organization and systematization of so great an enterprise and the many difficulties that had to be and were ove<come, the operations of the first year should be deemed satisfactory to the stockholders. The property, all in all, is an extremely promising one, and with careful and economical management should take rank with the foremost industrial enterprises in the land. Respectfully submitted, S.

The Committee and its expert availed themselves of every means to make the examination, with the result that they realized that the charges against this and the Constituent Companies and their management were unfounded. On June 1, 1900, the Committee presented to the stockholders a report in which it stated that it was impossible for the Committee to show the earnings for the then current year, (that being the only fiscal year of the Constituent Companies since the organization of this Company), but that on June 30, 1900 (being toe close of the fiscal year of these Companies, except of the Hannis Co.), full and correct inventories would be made, and the books closed, and the conditions and earnings of all the Companies accurately ascertained, and promptly made known to the stockholders What is said in this report, as well as what was said by the Committee in its communication to the stockholders, will account for tbe fact that no earlier detailed report by your officers has been possible.

Eirly in the week the tendency of pnc-s was downward. S-lling by speculative h aiders continued a fea ure. Developments generally were agaiost tie market. Tue English maihet failed to show any stability, being unfavorably i fluericed by a continued heavy movement of tte crop, free offerings from the Sooth, large export clearances and favoraole weatner in tbe cotton belt. Oq Wednesday, however, there developed a steadier tone, iniicitions beinar that the pel'ing pie-sure was largely over in both the N w York and Liverpool markets. Privae a1 vices rec«iv-d from the latter market stated that the offerings from tbe S >nth were smaller, which wan taken as an indication that planters were less disPieiicti>ns of p is-vi to sell on the lover bas's of values colder weather io the cotton belt and fear of frost also had a steadying influence. Thursday th^re was a firmer market during early 'Change on strooger advices from Liverpool and repoits of frt*t in the northeastern se tion of theco»ton belt. Indications, however, were for a higher temperature, and tbis, coup'ed with a continued full cr >p >vement, had a weakening inflaer ce later iD the day. Ton»y the market opened 8'eadir-r, reflecting firmer foreign advices thaa generally expected.

Du-ing the late trading there was some buying r»y th.rs to covrr contracts, induced by the movement o tne crop being slightly under expectations, and the lom was partially recovered.

The tendency of prices for the grain has been downward, and values for wheat flour have weakened in sympathy. Aside, however, from a moderate demand from the West Indies, business h*s been slow. J^bfrrs generally have been iu different buyers, as there have been no developments of a character to induce extensive purchases, and exportel s also have had few orders. Rye flour has had only a jobbing sale, but as offerings have been light prices have been well maintained. Corn meal has been quiet and prices have weakened slightly. Buckwheat flour has been in small supply for prompt de ivery and better prices have been paid. Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been without snap and tbe tendency of prices has continued downward. Weather conditions in the West and Northwest have been favorable.

The receipts at interior points have been fairly large, and the visible supply, as reported on Monday, showed an increase for the week of nearly 2.000,000 bushels. Country offerings, according to the advices received from the West have been freer, and speculative holders have shown more of a disposition to liquidate their accounts; still there has been no aggressive selling. The spot market has been weaker and on the lower basis of values a fairly large export business has been transacted. To-day there was a quiet market, but prices advanced slightly on an active export demand. The stock market was active and firmer. The sales for export here and at outports were 1,300,000 bushels.
