the preceding week. The aggregate for the other
by our statement also exhibits some addition to
the figures for October 8, so that in the total of all there is an
excess of $43,240,291.
The gain at Boston (some seven mil¬
lions) arises, as at New York, mainly, if not wholly, through
heayier dealings in share properties, the total value of these
transactions being fully double what they were a week
ago*
The marketing of the cotton crop continues on a more liberal
scale than last year, but the movement of cereal
crops, both
for the week and the season, show a falling off.
In comparison with the similar week of 1886 the
clearings
at New York record a decline of 7*5 per cent, and in conse¬
quence the total for the whole country exhibits a loss of 2*6
per cent.
At Providence, Portland Philadelphia, Baltimore
Milwaukee, St. Joseph, Galveston a nd Kansas City also the
present year’s figures fail to reach those of last year, but at the
last-named city this is entirely due to the occurrence of a
holiday this year. In any event the losses are rather unim¬
portant and not the result of any general cause. Of the clear¬
ing houses exhibiting an excess over a year ago Wichita takes
the lead with 69 per cent, and is followed by New Orleans
50*07, Peorja 45-8, Memphis 45*4, Columbus 44*8 and Omaha
89*7 per cent.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
market
the past week, though at bank the changes in rates are not
so material as the change in tone would lead one to antici¬
pate. The truth is the demand continues to be compara¬
tively urgent, while the movement of money to the interior
has been more active again.
So far as call money is rep¬
resented by bankers’ balances, it has been decidedly
easier, ranging from 5 to 3 per cent and averag¬
ing about 4 per cent. Time money is quoted at
5 to 5-J bid on prime security,
but we hear of

no
under 6 per

There have been
Borne exceptional time loans by banks at
per cent on
Government collateral and they have been cited as a
gauge of the maiket; but they were round amounts and
due to special facts, which make them no indication of
current rates.
Reports from other centres of trade also
show an easier feeling; this is especially the case at Boston.
At Chicago a good demand is noted for crop and other
purposes. We see, however, by our reports of the interior
movement received from our banks that the larger part of
the shipments this week were to the East and North and
near-by places, the total to the West and South aggre¬
gating only $895,000 out of a total of $2,320,000. As
to commeicial japer, it is in fair demand at 6 per cent for

lower rates are undoubtedly in the main due to the decline
rin our foreign exchange market, which precludes for the
time being all chance of any demand for gold for America.
That is to say, if money in London was only influ.
enced by trade conditions and requirements, it would rule
very much lower than it has ruled the most of the time
during late years; but the “scarcity of gola” is so apparrent that the Bank of England, at the least fear of losing
it, not only puts a premium on bullion, but pushes up the
minimum to guard its stock, while threatening a further
rise if the shipments continue.
Had there been overtrad¬
ing or excessive speculation, there would be reason in thus
putting the screws on business. As it is, is there
anything but .the “scarcity of gold” that explains,
induces or justifies
the movement ?
Jn Germany,
the failure
of
a
Leipzig discount bank having
capital of 9 million ma?ks, appears to have had an
unsettling effect on money, the open market rate at Berlin
having advanced to 2£ to 2|- per cent. The street rate at
Palis is 2£@2-i per cent.
The Bank of England is

import from South America and elsewhere of £98,000 and
an export
to Lisbon of £50,000.
Our foreign exchange maiket was further advanced
one half cent
on
Monday for long sterling, the reason
assigned being a scarcity of commercial bills.
This
reason
may seem strange in view of the very free move¬
ment of
cotton, largely in excess of last year.
The
explanation given is that banking houses having Southern
connections have managed to absorb all bills
drawn
against these cotton exports, and they have been used to
a
great extent to cover gold imports and remit
for
stocks

for
European
account.
Had
it

Even now the offerings
of cotton bills are reported very light, and mostly for
for four months commercial house names,

high for this season of the year. On Wednesday there
an easier feeling in
was
the market and rates were
reduced a half a cent, but the continental exchanges
remained firm.
Thursday the market was stronger again,
the operations of the arbitrage brokers resulting in a con¬
siderable demand to remit for stocks, but there was no
change of rates on that day or yesterday. The arrivals of
gold during the week have been $736,000 on Saturday,
$1,135,668 on Monday and $1,109,250 on Tuesday—the
two former amounts being from the continent and the
latter amount from London.
The
public has begun to appreciate the importance—not
generally recognized when we called attention to it last
Saturday—of Secretary Fairchild’s new arrangement for
placing in depositary banks all his current surplus reve.
His plan has been working now another week, and
nue.
as we anticipated,the fear of future Treasury accumulations
has wholly gone, while as a practical result of the arrange¬
ment, no currency has been extracted from commerce by
Government operations.
Hence, so far as the Sub-Treasuries are concerned, receipts and disbursements have almost
absolutely balanced, leaving bank reserves substantially
untouched, to gain by impoits of gold and to lose only the
net loss on the interior movement.
In other words, there
has been nothing artificial disturbing the money market.
Trade influences alone have been in operation, and as the
outflow for crop purposes has in a measure subsided, it is
no surprise that
discount rates have declined. We are
particular in stating these conditions, not because we
think any one should need to be told them again, but
because so many continue to write about Mr. Fairchild
regulating the money market,” whereas it is precisely
what he is not doing. He is, we repeat, so conducting Gov¬
ernment monetary affairs under the trying circumstances
in which he finds them, as not to let them “regulate”

Tne failures daily announced, and
even the stories
reported as to the collapse in certain mining properties of
the Gogebic iron range (if.the latter were ail true, which
they are not, as we are informed), can be easily made alto¬
gether too much of. Such events do not presage or indi¬
cate any general insolvency; only that the day when faith
could be a substitute for value has passed; what is going
on is a sort of
weeding process, which ought to help the
good plants grow the stronger. As' to the volume
of trade in progress, it is still large ; and that is
the report which comes alike from the South and from
the West.
In this city and other Eastern centres there is
something of a lull reported. We are passing a peiiod
which is between seasons in certain important markets,
notably in dry goods, when little is expected, and this in
part at least accounts for the smaller movement. The

As bearing upon the general business situation, the ac¬
tivity and higher prices in the anthracite coal trade are
also interesting.
There can be no doubt that this activity
reflects a greatly increased demand—iu fact, all reports
agree on that point.
But while the consumption is excep¬
tionally large, there are also some exceptional circumstances to account for it, and these modify the conclusions
to be drawn from it and impair its value as an index of
general industrial activity. The special stimulus to the
present large demand for coal is found in the strike of the
miners in the Lehigh region, to which we have bafore allu¬
ded, and which still continues in progress. This has produced
somewhat of a scare among consumers, large and small,
and doubtless caused a great many to anticipate not alone
immediate but also in a large measure future wants.

The Oregon Trans-Continental has had its loans taken

the joint lease of the Oregon
Navigation has been
finally perfected. In the Northwest, the situation arising
out of the multiplication of new lines, has grown no worse.
The anthracite coal roads are finding a very active demand for their staple product, and at good prices, too. In
addition, reports of railroad earnings continue much
better than expected in view of the comparison with heavy
totals last year, and in the South especially the increase at
present is marked, due to the early and free movement of
the cotton crop.
In view of all these favoring influences,
and the disposition in some quarters to regird existing
prices of stocks as being low, it is not surprising that the
market should wear an improved look.
Tuere is as yet,
however, no sign of any increase in outside speculation.

It is this latter sentiment which gathers strength. Some¬

In regard to this matter, it is
impossible to disguise the fact that the present Govern¬

the British people
Its policy so far has not been success

only an average inquiry prices have hardened even slightly.
The average of home-grown wheat for the past week was,
however, very low, namely, only 28s. 5d. per quarter. The
quantity of produce afloat to us is decidedly below that of last
year.

Situation.—At tlie
result of the Reading
only remaining obstacle to reorganization without foreclosure
was removed; and this, wheu completed, will leave the Reading
affair on record as one of the most remarkable settlements ever
made in this country bv an insolvent railroad.
The extraor¬
dinary feature consists in the collection of a 20 per cent cash
assessment without putting on the thumb-screws in the shape
of a foreclosure.
After the market “ entered into the shadow” of Mr. Depew’s
conversation last week, which the bears made the
of, it took a few days to recover, but it was scarcely
St. Louis
possible that such important transactions as the B. & O.
Telegraph deal and the Reading settlement should not have
their effect, and this has since been felt.
There is nothing new in regard to the over-building of rail¬
roads; the only fact about it that is new is decidedly favorable,
and that is the circumstance that all the big companies are
curtailing their work and not undertaking new enterprises. It
is curious how Wall Street will go on for months without
placing any particular importance upon some palpable and wellknown fact, and then all of a sudden, under bear talk, it will be
magnified into a very dangerous and threatening affair. This
is the case with railroad building; it has been known and com¬
monly spoken of all the year, but not till the middle of Octo¬
ber, when there was a heavy short interest in the market, has
the danger of excessive construction been found out.
One
leading fact is indisputable in regard to the present era of
railroad building, namely, that the construction has been
mostly done by old and powerful dividend-paying companies,
and although they may lose some money in carrying the new
lines for a few years, and even be compelled to reduce divi¬
dends, still the possibility of such insolvencies and foreclo¬
sures as we have had in times past is, on
these lines, outside
the range of all probability.
The open market, rates for call loans during tne week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2£ to 5 percent,
the usual rates to stockbrokers being 3@4 per cent.
To-day
the' rates were 3@,4 per cent.
Prime commercial paper is
quoted at 6@6^ percent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a gain in
specie of £48,000, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 43-87, against 41-59 last wreek; the discount
rate remains unchanged at 4 per cent.
The Bank of France
lost 7,550,000 francs in gold.
The New York Clearing House banks in their statement of
Oct. 15 showed a decrease in surplus reserve of $852,550,
the total surplifthbeing $7,200,200, against $8,112,750 the pre¬

point of activity,
they also remain firm, closing to day at 89£, against 90 last
Friday. Tennessee settlement bonds have also been moderately
active, though other classes have been somewhat neglected.
Railroad bonds have been only moderately active during the
past wreek and the business has been of a somewhat unimportant
character.
Erie 2ds exhibited some activity at times, though
there were no other classes conspicuous for activity.
In the
early part of the week the market wTas unsettled and irregular,
and some of the more speculative bonds made lower prices.
The tone improved gradually, however, and prices became
generally firm to strong, though the strength was not specially
conspicuous nor the advance of importance. The prices of
bonds are still largely influenced by the fluctuations in the
stock market, though the business in bonds is relatively less
active than in stocks.
The changes for the week are, as a rule,
not important, though mostly in the direction of higher prices.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market has
exhibited a much better tone during the past week, and the
general tendency the past few days has been strong and ad¬
vancing, notwithstanding that considerable weakness was
apparent at times, especially in the early part of the week,

Fully 1,000 men are now at work on the third iail, and it is

Srnta Fe is now running to Denver over its own line, and the
Colorado Midland connects with it at Pueblo, Denver and Col¬

The joint lease was

not signed, but the questions about the legal procedure are
understood to be the only ones which have not yet been
settled. The obj> ctionatle restriction withdrawn was that on
the joint haee and guarantee of 6 per cent dividend the loss
of the Northern Pacific Company should be limited to $250,000
year for thrt e years.
—The Boston Advertiser gives a summary of the lease its If
from which the following is condensed :
The Oregon Railway & Navigation Company leases its entire property
to the Oregon Short Line Railway for 99 years from January 1,1887.
The lessee companies are entitled to deduct and retain from any amounts
becoming due under the lease any sum of money which they maybe
obliged to pay for protecting their rights under the lease. The Oregon
Company agrees to deliver the residue of the consolidated bonds which it
is
or may be hereafter entitled to issue to the Farmers’Loan &
Trust Company, to be used in taking up the outstanding debenture
bonds and cover such premiums as may be necessary to effect the ex¬
change, to pay the Oregon Company for certain unincumbered properties,
and for the use of the Bhort Line as follows: To pay for the construction
of branch roads of the Oregon Company to an amount not exceeding
$25,000 per mile; to provide for the construction of other branches,
feeders to the old lines, or purchase ol lines already constructed, subject

the construction of a bridge across the Willamette River at Portland. And
the Navigation Company agrees to construct, at the request of the Bhort
Line Company, any and all branch railroads contemplated in its original
supplementary articles of incorporation; said branch lines to become
part of the system of the Oregon Company, subject to this lease and
and condition thereof, and to be consolidated as soon as practicable

Central, worth 23 in January, is now 16, or $216,224 for the lot. Oregon
Improvement notes of $518,000 are good to-day. The $112,000 Mexican
Central 7s are worth more to-day than in January, or $86,000. The
$25,000 Mexican Central incomes are also increased in value to $4,500.
Then there are 1,050 shares of Central & South American Telegraph
stock, $500,000 worth, more or less, of St. Paul & Northern Pacific stock,
and
lot of miscellaneous securities of uncertain value, say $800,000 to
$1,000,000. Call it the former, and leave out claims of $3,000,000 unli¬
quidated and the assets foot $17,546,220. The debt may have been
reduced
little by application of O. R. A- N. dividends, but is about
$7,200,000, which deducted from the assets leaves $10,340,220. This
dividend among the 397,000 shares of O. A T. stock outstanding equals
little
26 per share. The estimate in the statement published in
February was about 39 per share. Wliat the lending assets would sell at
voluntary or forced liquidation none can say. The above estimate
is believed to be a lair one as values stand to-day.

COLORADO MIDLAND RAILWAY.
Pittsburg & L ike Erie.—At Pitt3burg, Oct. 19, Charles
L. Fetterman, the master in the suit against the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie Rdlroad Company, decided in favor of the Vander¬
bilts.
The local stockholders who compose the board of
trustees refuged last January to allow the Vanderbilts to vote
the trust stock covered by the famous trust deed. This deed
was drawn up with the view of preventing the sale of the road
and of keeping it always in the hands of Pittsburg trustees.
When the Vanderbilts got the majority of stock they wanted
to do away with the trustees and sought to vote the trust
.stock. The master now gives his opinion that the paper called
a deed of trust, if vali 1, is in tffect nothing more than a
power of attorney, or proxy, given for the purpose of car¬
rying out the designs of the parti s therein mentioned, and as
such revocable at the pleasure of any party to it, and that
under all the facts in the cas«', Cornelius Vanderbilt is entitled
to the relief sought, and the master therefore recommends a
decree in his favor.

speculation in some leading staples that may have important
results upon the range of values in the early future. A severe
storm has swept the entire Gulf and Atlantic coasts, but no
serious disasters are as yet reported to have been caused by it.

futures, and prices have declined—not,however, without
some irregularity,
October deliveries showing exceptional
strength, and to-day the later options were firmer, while Oct¬
ober was dull. Laid on the spot has had a moderate sale each
day, at some decline in prices, but the close is about steady at
6*55c. for prime city, G'GS^^G’GTJ^c. for piime to choice
Western, 6*80c. for refined to the Continent and 7 3oc. for
