Tiie full details of clearings for the week covered by the
•hove statem ent w ill be given next Saturday. \Y • 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 tw enty-four hours of the week have to be
In all cases estim ated, as we go to press Friday night.
Our usual detailed figures for the previous week, covering
tbe returns for the period ending with Saturday noon, Octo­
ber 19, are given below, and we also present the results for the
corresponding week in 1W4, 1893 and 1892. In comparison
with the preceding week there is an increase in the aggregate
exchanges of nineteen and a-quarter million dollars, but at
New York alone the loss is almost six millions. .Contrasted
with tbe week of 1894 the total for the whole country shows
an increase of 23’3 per cent. Compared with thew e -k of 1893
the current returns record on excess of 25’5 per rent and the
loss from 1892 is 1’2 per cent. Outside of New York the gain
over 1394 is 1*5 1 per cent. The excess over 1893 reaches 86’6
per cent, and making comparison with 1892 tbe increase is
Been to be &’8 per cent.

W e have only to add to the foregoing that the facts staled
do not half disclose the offensive character of the ptoceeding
this injunction stops. Seldom has there been such a bold act
of appropriation by one journal of another’s property as that
of w hich the outlines are furnished in the above dispatch.
The S u p p l e m e n t s of the C h r o n i c l e have been entirely a
conception of its editor and his able assistants. It would be
difficult to convey to the reader a full idea of the mere labor,
tim e and money spent in their production. In the shape they
now appear they likew ise represent long years of study and
experience in the departments they cover. The publishers of
the “ U nited States Investor,” seeing the merit and value of
these S u p p l e m e n t s , sought to make profit out of them for
them selves by appropriating almost in mass the matter con­
tained in them . B y stealing our work and palming it off as
theirs, they hoped to give value to their own periodical. It is
worth noting, too, that none of the charges in our bill of com ­
plaint were denied.
The publications of the C h r o n i c l e are w ell known among
investors, and there was of course no likelihood that any of
our subscribers could be deceived as to the nature and char­
acter of the work in the spurious supplements referred to.
On the other hand, among those not fam iliar with our publi­
cations knowledge of the fact that the matter in those sup­
plem ents was identical with that in our S u p p l e m e n t s might
create an impression that there existed somewhere a common
source for that class of information from w hich both had
drawn ; whereas the truth is, the facts and data given by us
had been diligently gathered in a thousand different w ays,
through patient research and investigation, and the offending
party w as simply appropriating the results of our labor.
Moreover, the case was such a flagrant one that aside from
our desire to protect our property rights we felt it incum bent
upon us to make an exam ple of the offender.
W e are persuaded that w e have rendered a public service in
demonstrating that a copyright, in the language of the above
dispatch, is not an em pty form , but confers rights adequate to
the protection of its owner. The dispatch speaks of the injunc­
tion order as being very broad. It is certainly broad enough to
prevent a repetition of the offense in any form or guise. As
a matter of interest, we quote the essential portions of the
order below.

a recovery has taken place, but the market is still
unsettled. Foreign exchange has followed pretty much
the same course—at first a material fall occurred and
later a rise, until on Tnursday the rates were again
very near the gold export print, though at tie close
that day the market was a little easier, while yesterday
rates were off again a quart r cent for sterling.
So long as the cotton speculation continues and
the free marketing of the staple is thereby interrupted,
the ootton market must remain sensitive and fluctuat­
ing. This does not mean that prices are higher than
the shortened supply warrants, or than may rule later
on when relieved from the disorganizing effects of tho
attempted corner. I t means simply that the stoppage
of the outflow is accumulating stock here to such an
extent that for the time being the speculator has dis­
turbed confidence, making price a mere question of
endurance between him and the consumer; and with
the world’s large and increasing visible supply, price
must remain subject to wide changes from slight causes
until the congestion is removed either by the consumer'
buying more largely or by the speculator yielding.
The decline in exchange is not believed to have been
occasioned directly by the break in cotton. The two
events were concurrent but not dependent. Bankers
report that the fall in exchange was brought about by
the offerings of bankers bills against the Anaconda
copper mine negotiation and by some loan drafts; that
the subsequent advance was due to the absorption of
those bills, also to the disappointment felt that the
break in cotton should not have resulted in a more lib­
eral supply of drafts against that staple, and to the
speedy subsidence of the panicky feeling in cotton
and the reaction in the price of the staple which
induced holders of cotton drafts to advance their
prices above the views of buyers. The easier exchange
market as the week closes is due to the fact that, ac­
cording to the views of those best able to judge, bills
enough are in sight now to meet all the requirements
of the market, at least for next week. One special
source of anticipated supply arises from the announce­
ment th it the Pennsylvania R iilrn d Company has

THE CHRONICLE.

We gave last week extracts from the annual report
of the Western New York & Pennsylvania, and this
week publish President De Coursey’s remarks in full.
The report possesses special interest because it is the
first made since the reorganization of the property.
Under the reorganization the funded debt has been
reduced from $34,821,802 to $29,990,000 and the stock
from $30,000,000 to $20,000,000. Fixed charges have
been cut down from $1,114,060 to $714,960, though
after April 1 1897 the interest on the new general
mortgage will be increased 1 per cent (to 3 per cent),
adding $100,000 to the total, and after April 1
1901 there will be a further increase of 1 per
cent, adding another $100,000 per year. The inter­
est charges when at their maximum therefore will be
$914,960, as against $1,114,060 before reorganization.
The property remained in the hands of receivers up to
March 31 1895, but the accounts are stated so as to show
a full year’s results. I t appears that the net income
available on the operations of the twelve months was
$1,018,775, against which the requirements for inter­
est and taxes were $685,914, leaving a surplus of $332,861. In this the interest at 2 per cent on the $10,
000,000 of general mortgage bonds has not been
deducted, as provision for the coupons on these bonds
up to and including the coupon due April 1 1896
was made in the reorganization. Had that interest
been a charge against the year’s income, the surplus
would have been reduced in amount of $200,000,
making it $132,861.
What renders this exhibit particularly encouraging
is that it has been made in face of an average freight
rate of less than half a cent per ton per mile, the aver­
age having been only 4-903 mills. In the previous
year the average was 5-662 mills, so that there was an
important decline. Except for the economies prac­
ticed, the showing for the year would have been totally
different, but through these economies the company was
able to overcome the loss in rates. A large proportion of
the road’s tonnage consists of coal, mainly bituminous
•coal, and on this the rates have been ruinously low,
largely due, we are told, to the poor price obtained for
the coal because of its over-production. Mr. De Coursey says that while in the light of the past it would be
unwise to speculate as to a probable advance in the
future, the management cannot help feeling that any
sustained improvement in general business must in­
fluence favorably the soft-coal trade, and if producers
are able to get better prices the transportation com­
panies will share in the advance.
The movement of money to the interior has been
lighter this week, less going to the South, but fairly
large amounts have been sent to the West at d North­
west, and there has been some demand from Onicago.
The express companies have advanced their rates for
the transportation of money about one-third, and this
must tend to check the movement.
Money
on call
representing
bankers’ balances has
loaned generally at 2 per cent at the Stock
Exchange, with very few transactions, and these for
email amounts, at 2£, and the average for the week has
been about 2-J per cent. The supply has been some­
what increased by offerings by some of the foreign
bankers who have been unab'e to place money for fixed
periods, and the demand has been light because of the
amall speculation in stocks. Banks and trust com­
panies quote 2 per cent as the minimum. The
inquiry for time contracts is comparatively insig­
nificant, the outlook being considered good for

[Vox.. LX1.

easy rates on call, and the little business done has been
at 4 per cent for four months. Foreign bankers have
offered money on gold notes and on exceptionally good
security at 3^@4 per cent for four to six months, but
so far as is known not much has been placed because
domestic money can be obtained on as favorable terms
without a gold note. Quotations for domestic time
loans on good marketable security are 2 | par cent for
thirty days, 3 per cent for sixty to ninety days, 3£@4 per
cent for four and 4@4£ per cent for five to eight months.
There is a good assortment of commercial paper in the
market and some excellent names, but brokers report
that paper is of slow sale,mainly for the reason that many
buyers among the banks are below the limit of 25 per
cent of reserve to liabilities. Quotations are 4f@5 per
cent for sixty to ninety-day endorsed bills receivable ;
5@5£ per cent for four months’ commission house and
prime four months’ single names ; 5i§@6 per cent for
prime six months’ and 6@7 per cent for good four to
six months single names.
Aside from the feverish speculation in Kaffir m in­
ing stocks in Europe, which keeps the London and
the Paris markets in more or less of an unsettled con­
dition, there is no special feature in the European
financial situation. The Bank of England minimum
rate of discount remains unchanged at 2 per cent.
The cable reports discounts of sixty to ninety day
bank bills in London 11-16 of 1 per cent.
Tne open market rate at Paris is I f per
cent and at Berlin and
Frankfort it
is
2f per cent. According to our special cable from
Loudon the Bank of England gained £367,933 bullion
during the week and held at the close of the week
£41,525,158. Our correspondent further advises us
that the gain was due to the import of £241,000 (of
which £158,000 were bought in the open market,
£74,000 were from Australia and £9,000 from South
America), to receipts from the interior of Great Britain
of £347,000 and to exports of £220,000, of which
£100,000 were to the Cape, £100,000 were to Turkey
and £20,000 to the Argentine Republic.
The foreign exchange market has been active this
week. On Monday the opening was weak, influenced
by a pressure of commercial bills and also by offerings
of drafts by Kuhn, Loeb & Go., above referred to, and
Brown Bros., Baring, Magoun & Oo., L izird Freres
and Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co. reduced their
posted rates half a cent. R ttes for actual business
were 4 87@4 87f for sixty days, 4 88@4 88f for sight
and 4 88f@4 88f for cable transfers. Before the close
of the day the actual sight rate was reduced to 4 87|@
4 88 and the actual cable rate to 4 88@4 88L On
Tuesday the Bank of British North America reduced
the p'sted rates half a cent. The tone of the market
early in the day was dull aDd steady; in the afternoon
it was firmer and active, short bills and cable
transfers being one quarter of a cent higher. On
Wednesday Brown Bros, advanced their posted rates
half a cent early in the afternoon, and rates for actual
business were one-quarter of a cent higher at 4 87f@
4 87f for long, 4 88f@4 88f for sight aud 4 88£@4 S8f
for cable transfers. Though there were some loan bills
in the market, these were absorbed, and there was a
good demand for remittance. On Thursday the mar­

TllE RAILROAD IND UST RY IN A YEAR OF
DEPRESSION.
The year 1894 will always stand as one of the most
remarkable in our railroad history, and heDce the
report of the Statistician of the Inter-State Commerce
Commission for the twelve months ending June 30
1894, with an advance copy of which we have been
favored this week through the kindness of Mr. Edward
A. .Moseley, the Secretary to the Commission, possesses
more than the ordinary interest. A general summary
of the figures compiled for this report was sent out
last June, and we commented on the results at the
time. The present is not the full report in bound
form, but is a complete copy of the Statistician's
introductory remarks. These remarks are not open to
the adverse criticisms passed upon the remarks of some
of the previous years, aod on the whole furnish a very
useful and instructive analysis of the results and opera­
tions for the twelve months. They are accompanied
by a series of colored diagrams which possess a great
deal more merit than such diagrams usually do.
In our previous article (Ckbos t o l e of June 22
1895) wo gave the figures to show the great falling off
in traffic aod earnings which had occurred during the
year, and also directed attention to the ltrge propor­
tion of the total capitaliz ttion of the railways which
was receiving no return in the shape of interest or
dividends. In our present article we shall take up
other branches of the inquiry. One very useful state­
ment is a list of the railroads in the hands of receivers
on June 30 1894. Xone of our readers need to be
told that the list is a very extensive one. It appears
that there were on the date mentioned 193 roads iu that
condition of insolvency, of which 136 had been relegated
to the care of receivers during the twelve rn mths pre­
ceding and 35 during the year ending June 30 1893.
Tim mileage of road operated by the 192 companies in
default was 40,819, The total capital z ktion of the
roads in the hands of receivers was about *2,500,000,000, equal roughly to one quarter of the total of the
railway capitalization of the country. This as a record
of insolvency, the Statistician notes, is without a
parallel in the previous history of American railway?
-xctpt it bo in the period from 1838 to 1842. It is un­
doubtedly a result, he says, of the general business de­

[Vol. lxi.

pression through which the country is passing, and we
may accept the conclusion. But what a commentary
it is upon the condition of the railroad industry that a
single year of intense depression in business should
throw such a large proportion of the roads into bank­
ruptcy. Since June 30 1894 some important reorgan­
izations have been undertaken, but only a few of these
have yet been carried to completion, and a record at
this date would not show any great improvement.
The gross revenues of the roads in 1893 94 fell off
no less than * 141,390,077 as compared with the twelve
months preceding, and this of course necessitated the
practice of absolute economy in the operation of the
roads. We find that the loss in earnings was accom­
panied by a reduction of $96,506,971 in expenses. This
still left a decrease of $50,883,100 in net revenu s, and
as a consequence the roads show a deficiency in meet­
ing the dividends paid during the year in the large
sum of $45,851,294. Thus we see reflec ed one of the
results of the trying conditions to which the roads
were subjected. Ic is a noteworthy fact that with this
deficiency for the year the current liabilities have been
reduced (in amount of $11,674,068) rather than in­
creased. On the other hand, cash and current assets
were diminished $44,402,673, and materials a n l sup­
plies were reduced $13,988,383.
Some of the effects of the great reduction in expanses
form an interesting subject for study. I t is well known
that the roads stopped almost completely the buying of
additional equipment. There was a double reason for
this policy. In the first place the falling off in ton­
nage did away with the necessity of an enlargement of
the equipment, as existing motive power and rolling
stock were more than sufficient to meet all require­
ments and needs. In the second place the loss in
earnings compelled those roads which had been making
large purchases of equipment out of earnings
from year to year to discontinue the practice
for the time being, as all their income was
needed to meet the call for interest or dividends. The
report before us shows that the total of cars in the
railway service on June 30 1894 w*s 1,278,073. This
was an increase over the year preceding of only 4,132.
Tne cot responding increase of 1893 over 1892 had
been 58,854, and this brings out forcibly the difference
between the two years in that respect. The Statistician
says that the falling off in the regular increase in rail­
way equipment is one of the marked features of the
present report, and may be accepted as one of the
important results of the business depression to which
the railway industry, in common with other industries,
was subjected. At the same time it may be questioned
whether the small increase shown for the latest year does
not give an exaggerated idea of the change. The report
states that the change early attracted the attention
of those in the office of the Statistician aad
led to correspondence to ascertain its cause aod nature.
In almost every instance we are told the correspondence
showed that the railway management made the slack­
ness in business the occasion for destroying a larger
number than usual of old cars and cars of inferior typein some cases, while the number of ears had been de­
creased the capacity and value of equipment had been
increased. But all proper allowance being ma le for
transformations of this character, it still remains true,
the Statistician observes, that the abnormal extension
of railway equipment, as shown by the statistics of pre­
vious years, was arrested iu the year covered by the
present report.

r

THE CHRONICLE.

26, 1865.]

Another effect of the saving in expenses was a large
reduction in the number of employees in the service of
the roads. Xo previous report of the Commission had
shown a decrea-e in the number of such employees. But
it appears that on June 30 1894 the roads had only
779,608 persons in their servici as against 873,603 per­
sons on June 30 1893, a decrease of not far from one
hundred thousand. It is necessary to go back to the
year 1890, when the number of railway employees was
749,301, to find a pay-roll as limited as that of 1894.
The redaction was universal and widespread. It is
noted however a3 a remarkable fact that there was no
very marked decrease in the average compensation of
employees. The saving in the pay roll was effected by
the redaction in employees rather than a reduction in
wages. Sa far as the movement for the last three
years is concerned, it appears that in most cases the
average rate of compensation was higher in 1893 than
in 1893, and although the year 1894 shows a decrease
it still remains higher in some groups for quite a
number of classes than in 1892.
The report summarizes the results for the year by
saying that railway construction was arrested, that the
development of railway equipment was nearly station­
ary, that railway employees were reduced, that the
density of passenger traffic and freight traffic, after
having experienced a progressive development for a
series of years, was subj cted to a marked decrease, and
that owing to the great falling off in revenues the roads
had to draw upon the accumulated surplus of previous
years to the extent of $43,851,294 in order to provide
for the dividends paid.
As regards the results for the time which has elapsed
since June 30 1891, the year to June 30 1895 was of
coarse another period o? very great depression. Ia
the current fiscal year, however (we mean the year to
June 30 1896), there is likely to be a decided
change for the better. Our graia crops are very large,
business is rsviviog. and at the same tints many of the
defaulted properties are being reorganize! and taken
out of the hand# of receivers. Uuless therefore the
prospect is marred by a rate war or by attacks by railroad
commissions and State legislatures, the oateorae for
this year is certain to ba very mach better than for
some time p a st.___________________

The foregoing shows that the takings by spinners
in Great Britain this year have been 53,773,000 pounds
greater than in the preceding season and 236,947,000
pounds more than in 1892-93. Cirrying the comparison
back to earlier years, it is found that in no season
except 1890-91 have the takings been as heavy as in
1894 95.
On the Continent the 1894 95 figures are much the
heaviest on record, exceeding those for 1893-94 by
188,474,000 pounds. For the whole of Europe the
aggregate takings have therefore increased appreciably
this season, the excess over a year ago being 242,247,000
pounds, and are 227,023,000 pounds greater than in
1890-91, the year which has heretofore shown the
largest total.
Daring August and September the average weekly
rate of consumption in Great Brita;n was reduced to
some extent as a result of the holidays and short-time,
and the average for the whole season therefore has been
only 78,462 bales of 400 lbs. each per week, or 770
bales per week greater ttian last season and 2,878 bales
less than in 1890 91. Continental spinners, however,
have kept up a uniform rate of 98,000 bales per week
throughout the season, against only 92,000 bales per
week in 1893*94 and 88,000 biles in 1892-93. The
weights given in the above table are ordinary weights
covering all varieties of cotton. The average weights
of the various growths for 1894-95, as cabled to us, are
as follows: American, 483 lbs.; Egyptian, 717 lbs.;
List Indian, 400 lbs,; Brazilian, 214 lbs.; Smyrna, 385
lb3., and West Indian, &e., 105 lbs. In 1893-94 the
weights were : American, 474 lbs,; Egyptian, 718 lbs.;
Ktst Indian, 400lbs.; Brazilian, 225 lb i.; S nyrtn, 385
lbs., and Wt at Indian, &c,, 175 lbs.
These figures of takings tnd average weekly consump­
tion serve to give one a fair idoa of tho results for tho
year, but the relation which one season bearsjw another
is better disclosed by presenting ia tabular form not
only the takings but the consumption and stocks, all
reduced to bales of uniform size. Tftis lias been done

run w ill have to give way is generally believed, and that all
the Great Powers are intent up in m aintaining peace is also
the general opinion. But there is much anxiety all the sam e
respecting the outbreak o f fanaticism am ongst the Turks.
People are asking. If the necessary reforms are carried out,
will Mahommedan fanaticism resent the yielding to Europe
and will there be a Turkish revolution ? There also continues
to he some apprehension respecting the Far E ist, a lth ou gh
nothing fresh has occurred to increase the feeling. On the
other hand, the success of the French in Madagascar has
som ewhat reassured French feeling, while the success o f the
Spanish Government in obtaining a loan o f a couple of m il­
lions sterling in Paris has a b o helped to support the French
Bourse and to allay uneasiness respecting Spain. Meantime,
the plethora of money continues; rates are exceedingly lo w ,
and are likely to continue so for many a month.
The silver market has been very strong this week, and the
tendency is to a further advance. Largely this appears to be
due to tiie *ucc*w*ful action o f the American m ine ow ners,
who for several njonths past have never forced sales upon the
market, and yet when a demand sprang up they had alw ays
been ready to »upply it cautiously. Now there seem , to be
an increasing demand in the United States Itself, in Europe
and in the Far East; Japan particularly being a considerable
buyer. To defray the cost of the operations in Formosa snd
to carry out public work* at boom the Japanese Governm ent
is drawing upon the large funds standing to its credit in the
Bank of England. It lias b e n buying silver and it has also
been largely buying India Council drafts. On W ednesday
of this week 50 lakhs were offered for tender as usual and the
whole am ount was sold at la, 1 37-33d, per rupee, w hieh is
about 1- !8d. higher than the real market quotation. From
this it is inferred that the purchaser w as som e agent of the
Japanese Government who is not used to the special kind of
business entrusted to him. The impression in the eft? is like­
w i s e that the Japanese Governm ent is buying Indian rupee
paper. It seems to lie certain that the Bank of England has
for ■«.>rac time psurt been a purchaser, and the public in the
city think that the bank did n ot buy for itself hut for a cu s­
tomer, s o l the general opinion is that the Japanese Govern*
meat is the rent buyer.
The stock market* bare been very apprehensive all through
the week—at time* alm ost panicky—ow ing to the heavy fall
in gold shares. For a considerable tim e past there has been a
reckless speculation In those share* both at home snd upon
the Continent, and a set*hack therefore was inevitable before
long. The slum p has been brought about by the sudden ac­
tion of the great London bank*. It appear* that several Con­
tinental hank* have been facilitating the speculation on the
Continent by instructing their London branches to accept
very large amount* of financial paper. The creation o f these
acceptances went on so rapidly that at last the principal Loudon b i a l e «<*» som ew hat anxious and decided not to dis­
count more *M them. O f course this ha*caused inconvenience
to the accepting hanks.
It is understool that tile w ithdrawal of m oney from the
Faria Bourse at the settlem ent last week, w hich was on a very
considerable scale, was largely due to the necessity the leading
banks found them selves under to provide the m eans of th*
taking up their acceptances in London. The banks are well
m m a god and the acceptance* are covered by the deposit o f
g o d security. There is therefore no serious danger to heap,
prvnended. But at the same tim e the hanks concerned are
obliged to take up a great deal of paper, and to do so in it
hurry must necessarily cause som ewhat of a flurry in the
great Continental centres. A* so m as the actual facte became
known there was consternation among Ihe leading speculator*
here and in Paris, and ever since the beginning of the week
sales have l*sen effected on a great scale. Early in the week
indeed it looked almost a* if there might be a sem i-panic ; but
gradually confidence has been recovering and it may be hoped
now that all danger i# over.

The Money Market and F in a n cia l Situation.—To the
unusual development in the cotton market during the week
may be attributed id part the dulness and depression w hich
has prevailed in the market for railroad securities.
Another reason for this condition may be found in the i / i
certainty now existing in the Kaffir markets abroad. But
the chief reason has been the high rates for foreign exchange.
The latter feature has attracted attention in commercial as
well, as in financial circles and the probable future course of
the foreign exchange market is studied with interest.
While the public generally are in the main keeping aloof
from Stock Exchange transactions, there is a steady demand
for high-grade bonds and stocks a t good prices.
Latest reports of railroad earnings are in most cases highly
satisfactory, and show not only a heavy movement of grain
and produce but of general merchandise.

S tate and R ailroad Bonds.—Sales of State bonds at the
Board include $34,000 V irginia fund, debt 2-3s of 1991 at 62
to 62%; $700 Tenn. settlem ent 3s a t 84; $5,000 Alabam a, Class
B, a t 110%, $6,000 Louisiana Con. 4s a t 98% and $40,000
Virginia 6s defd. trust rects,, stamped, a t 6%.
The railroad bond market has been dull and nearly all
speculative issues, including the A tchisons, Mo. Kan. &
Texas, Readings, St. Louis South westerns and U nion Pacifies,
follow ing the course of the stock m arket, are lower than last
week.
Savannah & Western 1st rects. have lost a part of the gain
noted in our last issue. Southern Ry. 5s are fractionally
lower and Ore. Short Line 6s have lost 1% points. On the
other hand, there is a steady demand for bonds of the better
class, and Lex. A ve.& Pav. Ferry 5s have advanced 23^ points
to 114%, and several of the No. Pacific issues have sold a
point or more above our last quotations.
The Readings have been most conspicuous for activ ity , and
transactions have been relatively large in A tchison, Mo. Kan.
& Texas, No. Pacific, St. Louis Southwestern, Texas & Pa­
cific, Union Pacific and Wabash bonds.
R ailroad and M iscellaneous Stocks.—The m arket for
stocks has been weak and in the absence of investm ent and
commission house buying the business has been chiefly of a
professional character.
Under these conditions the railway list has declined alm ost
w ithout exception. Manhattan Elevated is dow n over 3
points on continued liquidation, n otw ithstanding frequent
reports of largely increased earnings. The prices o f anthra­
cite coal have been again advanced, but the coal stocks did
not respond to the movements, and the decline in them aver­
aged over 1 point. Southwestern shares have been weak
aJ1 ^ n reti ucec^cotton crop and Kansas & Texas preferred and
Mo. Pacific have lost about 2 points. Reading is down
over 1 point and Louisville & Nashville over 2 points since
the close last week. The grangers have been relatively
strong on the excellent traffic reports, and in m ost cases de­
clines in the group are fractional.
In the industrial list American Sugar is again most con­
spicuous and after mild fluctuations closes 2% points lower
than last week. American Tobacco, C hicago'G as and Dis­
tilling have been more than usually steady and changes in
^^1^ni«are
fractional. General Electric has lost 1% points
and Tenn. Coal & Iron is J2 points lower on liberal sales.

President Pullman supplemented bU annual report w in,
th* follow ing g»n« rat information s
General Result*.—The decrease apparent in gross earning*
a# compared with last year is captained by the fact that i ha
previous focal statement included three* months o f abnor­
mally large travel, due to the World * Fair at Chicago. The
demand for cars ha* not been espial to the existin g facilities
for supplying it, and the competition naturally resulting from
this cor,ditioo haa compelled us to take contracts, as in tha
previous year, absolutely without profit.
The number of passengers carried during tha year was
4,790,809, and the number of miles run was 179,547,971, con­
trasting with o,2M
*.333 and 197,409,503 respectively during
19SS- 4. The year just ended therefore show s a decrease of
about 9 j>cr cent both in the number o f passenger* carried
and In the number o f mile* run. The total m ileage o f rail­
way* covered by contracts for the operation o f cars of this
company is 126,908,
During the ti-* a* year a n<-w contract has been made with
the M date 4t Ohio Railroad Company for a period of 25 years,
expiring June i, 1>9).
Slum* factnring.—The value of the manufactured product
of the car works of the company for the year mu* #1,419,335,
a n d of o t h e r I n d u s tr ie s , i n c l u d i n g rental-, #366.7,73, m a k i n g
a total of #4,980.128, against #4,92.3,331 for the pre­
vious year, W ages panl during the year aggregated #3,01!,36*3, as compared w i t h #4,968.319 the previous year.
Cor*.—There have been built d u rin g th e y ear, fo r th e use
o t the company, 10 compartment car#, costing 8194,891. The
number of car* owned and controlled is 2,550, of which 2,308
are standard and 253 tourist or sec jnd-clas* car*.

The table show ing profits does n o t fairly represent the real
result of the year's operations, inasm uch as th ; profits are
dim inished by item s there show n, and also by the fact
th a t merch iodise was inventoried August 31, 4895, a t a re­
duced price, involving a shrinkage of nearly 853,000 in the
n e r earnings.
Improvements —Perfecting machines will now be installed
a t th - rate of tix machines a m onth, the economy reaching a
very U rge sum an mally. The consolidation of foundries and
branches outline 1 in ttie report of 1894 has been fully acc >m
plished and a sim ilar p eicy pursued in like cases. Manu’actu rin g has boon class fi-d and concentrated a t the centres
where economy and quality can be best secured. By variou
changes the aggregate rentals have been reduced over 810,000
a year and further saving will be secured in the near future
when certain existing leases shall have expired.
Financial Needs. — W hile th e com pany’s entire indebted
ness is considerably less th an the sum of its cash and receiv
a Dies w ithout its large m erchandise and p lan t accounts, which
are entirely unencum bered, so th a t th e solvency of the com.
pany cannot be im p >riled, yet th e enlarged needs for money
an d the exigencies of credit ren d er it im portant th a t some
m ethod of funding this indebtedness be devised. In the ab
sence of some such provision it will be im practicable for some
tim e to divert earnings from the business needs of the com ­
pany to the paym ent of dividends.

This railway was sold by the receiver at Bucvrus, Ohio, Oct.
19, to the bondholders' com m ittee for $1,500,000. Therj were no
other tid d eis It is understood that at the hearing on the
29th insr. for the confirmation or the sale of this road objec­
tion will be made by the attornev who obtained the appoint­
ment of a receiver on June 28tb. His action was a surprise
to the company and the follow ing week the Court appointed
another receiver. See pa«e- 26 and 68 of current C hronicle
volume. The reorganization com m ittee will oppose the
claim s on the part of ihe anticipated objector as exorbitant
and some slight de av in the confirmation of the sale may
occur and postpone the reorganization.—V. 61, p. 558.

C ontinental Match — Diamond M atch. —C om petition —
The Continental Match Company, organized in 1894 with a

potted to have in operation a factory at Passaic, N J., to be
com pleting another at O gdensburg,N. Y .,a n d to have in con­

said to be at present the Diamond Match Company's only com ­
petitor o f any m agnitude.—V. 60, p. 301.
D etroit R d lw a j (D e tr o it, Mich. ) —New C om pany.—This
Street Railway C *mpaoy was organized in December, 1834,
and begun const! u cu oa in May last. It has now 47 IS miles
about completed and expects to have the entire road in opera­
tion by the 1-t of November. About tw o thirds of the 47
miles are now in operation. The com pany has 75 cats, all of one
pattern, tbe door being on the side and alt seats facing for­
ward, About 20 miles o f fr.-nchises are ow ned in addition to
tbe road built and under construe!ion. The origins! franchise
era it led December 4, 1894. provided that the cash fare shall
be 5 ceuts, but that 8 tickets shall be s 11 for 25 cents during
the greeter patt of tbe dav ami 6 ticke.'s for 25 cents during
the oaUnpe of the day. Tnis. it will be seen, is very dillerent
from a 3-<.vnt cash fare, which it was said the company must
charge. The original franchise was largely for a much
needed cro**-towu road in Detroit, but the co m p u te rep i m
that it has been granted several other franchise*, unJer whioh
it has built, to that its *f#t*-ni now covers a large p irtion of

Speculation In cotton lo t future delivery at this market has j
been of phenomenal character, the dealings for the week ex ­
ceeding in am ount any record for sim ilar period in history of
the trade, A general liquidation o f an im mense long interest
w as the principal feature of the situation. During the hour's
session of Saturday there was a decline of *;fc per pound
under immense pressure to sell from the South, where a
•tightly better feeling regarding crop prospect* and eompara
tiv e neglect of actual cotton had oroken the confidence of
bolder* of contracts. The rush to sell on Monday was re­
markable. Europe breaking down in tone and contributing to
feeling of deuioralixtUon, w ith values her* shrinking 5®
points gross ami 85 (totals net, the recorded deals for the *»«sion reaching blO.TOO bales. Tuesday the feeling w*» f*v. rt.h,
but w ith some modification of pressure to sell, and many
short* covering, the final result was an advance of 2S paints.
On W ednesday demand became indifferent and fr> *h selling
orders appearing upon the market prices dropped 29 p tints,
d o sin g at lowest. Yesterday, upon apparent better accounts
front Europe, then? was an early gain o f U # Id points, but
renewed attempts at liquidating bmg contracts forced a de­
cline of 20 points, recovering sligh tly at tits d o se. To day
the tone has been firmer and 25 points gain mad*, stimulated
by improved feeling abroad and smaller crop movement
than expected, which served to stim ulate covering demand.

A considerable portion of the Sea Island cotton shipped to
foreign ports goes via New York, and some small amounts via
Boston and Baltimore, Instead of including this cotton fo?
the week in which it leaves the Southern outports, we follow
the same plan as in our regular table of including it whet
actually exported from New York, &c, The details of the
shipments of Sea Island cotton for the week w ill be founc
under the head “ Shipping News,” on a subsequent page.

which we give the figures from Mr. Ellison’s annual review
of the European cotton trade for the season of 1894-95, as
received by us to-day by cable.

publi-h to-day our usual table showing the cotton production
of e B c h State for the crop year ending with September 1, 1895.
This division among the States is not claimed to be accurate,
but as usual we have made every effort to get as near to the
true result as possible, aud the figures are believed to be
approximately correct. It is well understood that nothing
but an actual census can divide production accurately between
the States. The subjoined compilation covers our estimates
for the past five seasons, which embrace the amount
marketed through the ports, interior towns and rail overland
and Southern mill consumption during the season,
