The whole power of Pennsylvania, and so far as necessary of the Nation, should be brought into the service of restoring order, stopping acts of savagery, and giving every person who desires work the liberty to exercise that right unmolested. 701 nated there is an increase of 15 per cent the present year following an increase of 18 1 per cent last year. These clearings outside of New York aggregated for September 1902 3,362 million dollars, as against 2,924 million dollars in September 1901, 2,470 millions in September 1900 and 2,680 millions in September 1899. The showing on that basis is really not materially different than when comparison is with the tola's for the whole country including New York. Tne3e grand totals show 10,167 millions far September 1902, against 7,971 millions in 1901, 5,267 millions in 1900 and 7,080 millions in 1899. The further improvement in clearings the present year extends to all the various sections of the country, and moreover there are very few separate In the New England way of handling the situation is accountable. An section the increase over last year is only 1*2 per cent, enormous number of poor men and men of moderate but that follows mainly because of the small gain at means are in great distress because they cannot buy Boston.

The last three months, however, the returns have been recording gains and these gains have been growing in For July the increase was 8*7 per cent, for August 12 per cent, while now for September an addition of 27i per cent is shown. It must not be supposed that the September figures the present year compare with diminished totals last year. On the contrary our September statement at that time showed no less than 41*5 per cent addition. The further improvement of 27$ per cent in that month in 1902 is therefore decidedly significant. Of course due allowance must be made for the greater volume of business done on the Stock Exchange, which, though largely cleared through the Stock Clearing House, yet adds magnitude. $17,295,554. This reduces the strictly commercial failures to 8,676 and the amount of liabilities to $85,407,490, compared with 8,083 last year for $80,560,862. It is also pointed out that comparison is with very light totals last year. The showing is hence regarded as very encouraging, particularly bearing in mind that conditions have been trying. Reference is made to the fact, that in many lines of trade competition has grown keen as new men and new capital enter the field. Labor struggles have been of greater magnitude and duration, and abnormal prices of raw material have added to the difficulties of manufacturers. Besides this, traffic congestion has seriously delayed delivery of goods and caused much inconvenience and money has been a loss, while recently new complication stringent in affairs. While the anthracite coal roads are making very poor statements of earnings, reflecting the loss incurred by reason of the miners' strike, the Pennsylvania Railroad continues its noteworthy record of improvement. The statement for the month of August has been made public this week and shows an ordinary bank clearings. increase over the large totals of last year of $892,400 on the New York S:ock Exchange in September 1902 reached 20,972,253 shares, as against 13,990,195 shares in September 1901 and only 5,169,966 shares in September 1900.

The amount distributed the Clearfield district, and at the same time in dividends in the same period of twelve months was relieves the congestion of traffic previously exist ing on the Central's old line out of the Clearfield district. As indicating the benefits to result, it may be noted that one engine is able to haul 60 cars in 8 hours over the new line, where it takes 5 engines 30 hours to haul 40 cars over the hill on the old road. The New York Central owns the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation and has a large interest in the Beech Creek Coal & Coke Company. The B9ech Creek Extension furnishes an economical outlet for this cohI north over the Central's main line and thence for distribution in New England. The Central also has traffic contracts with the Buffalo Rochester & Pittsburg on the West and with the Philadelphia & Beading on the East. Improvements similar to those effected by the new line out of the Clearfield District are being planned for the Spangler District. The report states that for the purpose of avoiding the heavier grade and longer haul from the Spangler District via Patton an extension of the Pittsburg & Eastern Railroad (a line owned jointly by the Central and Pennsylvania Rail road) has been authorized.

On the other hand, the addition to the maintenance outlays was $282,857. This indicates that the managers took advantage of the favorable traffic results to enlarge their outlays in that way. The report tells us that expenditures for improvements previously made are bringing results in the saving of operating expenses, although this saving is in part offset by the increased cost of material and labor. The statement is borne out on examination of the traffic results. We need furnish only one illustration of the increased efficiency and, economy atpenses. tained: in the first reorganized company year of the operation of the the average train-load (revenue freight alone) was 258 tons; in % 1900-01 this wasfunoreased to 260 tons; from the report now before us we see that for the late year the average was brought the $1,602,372 surplus remaining — that is, was only $872,648. What adds to the significance of these res alts is they are obtained on very low average rates. that The and the general supposition has been that these coal roads in the Middle West, where the Hocking Valley is located, were getting very much better rates on their coal tonnage, the same as the bituminous coal roads to the seaboard. The Hocking Valley,- however, shows no increase in its road is a bituminous coal carrier average, but rather a decrease, or at least a decrease in its general average of rates, including merchandise This decrease brought the average 4*28 down to only Such a low mills per ton per mile. rate makes necessary a high train-load in order to net as well as coal. a profit from the work. The Hocking Valley has long been distinguished in this respect and in the late year established a new high record, there having been a up to 287 tons. further addition of 33 tons to the average, bringing it Net earnings were increased from $1,857,811 to up to the extraordinary figure of 678 tons.

The fears, however, are largely confined to the Stock Exchange. The best informed do not think that g >ld shipments will be very serious, and they are convinced amounts of the metal New The Bank of Eogland jast now is that Europe can spare whatever York may really reqaire. very strong. Probably during the remainder of the year the usual autumnal demands will decrease the Bank's reserve by about 4% millions sterling. Even so, however, the reserve millions sterling, and no very great inwould be about 21 convenience would be caused if two or three milli ns sterling were shipped to New York. In Germany money is still more abnudant and still cheaper than here, and Germany could ea-ily spare another 3 millions sterling. The Bank of Fiance holds over 104 millions sterling in gold, and obviously it could aff >rd to allow 10 or 12 millions sterling to bewithdrawn wiihout causing inconvenience to any French % interest. The beet informed, therefore, are convinced that no serious disturbance of th^ European money markets will take place. Bat for the moment the Stock Exchange and stock operators are in an uneasy state and business is grea'ly depressedIn Paris, buying of international securities goes on. especially of Italian, Spanish, Brazilian and Argentine bonds. It is believed in Baris that a convention of the Italian Rentes is imminent. The best opinion appears to be that the conversion will not be undertaken until spring, but many in Paris are convinced that it will take plai-e very soon. F>r the moment the negotiations for improving the Spanish exchange have come to a bait, but it is believed both in P-tris and in Madrid that they will be resumed before long and brought — October 4, : — . : THE CHRONICLE. 1902.J week, partly because of the fear of gold shipments to New York and partly because RI. Pelletan's speeches have made an unfavorable impression. In Germany business is as restricted as ever. There also the high rates in New York are causing some uneasiness, and as the alow liquidation in Germany is not yet completed, anything that might disturb the money markets makes a very disagree it was last able impression. Among the best informed the belief still mon^y is grow scarce and will dear, as If, here is, the pressure in New York weeks, the great capitalor fonr three in ends probability begin to buy reasonable in all ists will consols, for everyone is satisfied that uules^s something entirely unforeseen happens, there must be a great recovery early next year, because the Government will have very large funds, which will be employed in the redemption of debts raised during the war. If influential buyiner of consols should begin in the course of next month, as is expected by the best informed, opinion will rapidly change here, and doubtless business will extend ia every direction. Oae other cause of the stagnation on the Stock Exchange is the diffi :ulty of obtaining sufficient native labor for the Sjuth African mines. So far, alth >U4h very great efforts are being nude tae increase in laborers is sma'l, anl consequently he mining output is disapp dating. Toe great mining houses, however, are confident that the measures they are taking will very som be sue •e-'sful, and that the period is not now far distant srhen there will be a marked improvement on the Witwater->rand. Although business everywhere is restricted, the money market has been firm during the week. Short loans, indeed, have been both more plentiful and cheaper, but the discount, rate is s r rong, and the general impression prevails that the Bank of Eogland rate of discount will very s >on be raised to 4 percent. Whether the advance will take place next week will depend of course upon whether gold shipments to New Y >rk begin. If tbev do, the rise will probably be made. If not. The best informed think taat a 4-per-ceat it will be put off rate will prove sufficient, always a'summg that nothing unforseeen happens. For if the 4-percent rate is mad** here, ; it will be much more pre Stable for effective Continental bankers to employ their surplus balances here th*n elsewhere. For the moment the great Fetch banks are not increasing their balances. Tneyare erop'oying very large amounts here, and at the present rates they do not care 'O add further to what they ke^p here, but if the rate should go up to 4 per cent, little doubt is entertained that not only the French but the German and other Continental bankers would increase the amounts they are employ ing in London. Tnerefore, the belief is sro^g that unless the gold shi.im a nts should assume unexpectedly large pro portions, a 4 percent rate, or at all events a 4^-percent rate, will be found suffi dent.

( Report for the year ending June 30, 1902. President N. Monsarrat says in substance : To provide for the renewal of equipment, depredation at the rate of 3 p. o. on locomotives and passenger equipment and 6 p. o. on freight equipment has been oharged to expenses for the year, and the amount placed in equipment reserve rund, to which fund also there has been otedited the inventory value of all equipment destroyed during the year. Against this fund has been charged during the year $103,808, For the purchase of 8 new freight engli.es, $91,450; for 6 new cabooses and 2 tool oars, $12,358. There were laid 7.742 tons of new steel rails, weighing 70 pounds per vard, upon 70 miles of main track, removing an light rail upon the Ohio Division, and from Point Pleasant to Look Seven, a distance of 4u miles, on the West V rginla Division. A portion of the cost of this extraordinary tenewal was anticipated and charged to operating expenses during ttie previous year; $.22,000 has been charged out during the past year and about $71,000,1* oarrled in suspense account. Thirty -nine miles of the West Virginia Division were ballasted with gravel, the cost being charged to operating expenses. The extensive improvements authorized in Jan., 1901, have been completed, lnoludlng items aggregating *26-<,417; $28,767 of additional expenditures have been Incurred, making the total oharged to "ooi-t of road and property " $2^7.184. Car trust obligations (principal) were inoreased by the amount of equipment notes Issued to the Hocki g Va.lev Ry. Co., under date of alay I, 1902, covering 2.500 coal cars, $1,375,000; less car trust notes (principal) retired during the year, $S4.83"; net increase, $1,290,163. The various coal companies alon«c the line have been equipping their mines with machinery and preparing for a largely Inoreased production; a number of new mines were also opened during the year, so that with our Inoreased equipment and improved facilities for handling the trallio it seems dear that a very large increase may be expected In the company's earnings during the oomlng year.

Although the freight trattlo has been quite satisfactory, the inoreased income therefrom ($521,490) -is much less than it would have been, except for the great falling off in the quai tlty of graia exported to Europe during the latter half of ihe fiscal year, and the temporary current cessation of anthracite coal distribution. The cost of labor and of nearly all of our suppllt-h has steadily increased and the enlargement In the gross income has been largely offset by au almost equal growth ($914,366) in the year's operating expenses, chiefly owing to advauoes in wages paid employes.

(Report for the year ended June SO, 1902.) President John M. Hall says in substance: General Results.- As compared with the preceding year, the total gross earnings increased $3,388,776 and the operating expenses inteased $3,225,395, leaving an increase tn Income from operations of $16^.381. The total gross earnings of the rail and boat lines combined for the year ending June iO. 1902, were $47,874,9(2. being the largest in the history of the company, and an Increase of $3,->79,301 over the previous year. There has been, charged to operatUg expenses for betterments and new equipment, to meet general depreciation, the sum of $3,403,708, being an Increase of $977,893 over the i previous year. Among the items charged to operating expenses are improvements at Bridgeport, elimination of grade crossings at Mattapan, East Longmeadow and Great Barrington, and numerous Iron bridges to replace wooden bridges; continuation of stone ballasting on shore Line Division; also the cost of 20 locomotives, 750 steel frame box cars, 100 coal cars, 2 car floats, and partial payment on 42: passenger cars. 250 stee frame box ear>, 300 coal oars and 10 > flat oars, besides miscellaneous additional electric and other equipment, and improvements for the oomfoit and safety of the traveling public 8ECDR1TIK8.— There has been no ohauge in the capital stock. Convertible debenture bonds for $l(3,i97,200 mature Apiil next.whioh will doubtless increase the capital stook by that amount at .that time. No decrease In dividend rate on that acoouut is anticipated. The funded debt has 1 ot been changed during trie fiscal 5 ear Impbovlments —Owing to the largely Increased business on the Nhu< tucn toad, it wa s deemed advisable to complete the donble tracking between Naugatuok Junction and Wavrbury. The work is progressing rapidly; the cost will be met by au lusue of 3*3 p. 0. debentures of the NaugatuoK RR Co. under its l«ase. The lease of the Attleboro Branch KB. expired last year and it seemed advisable to build a new line from North Aitleboro to Adamsdale, 3** miles, rather than to renew the lease. It is expected that the line will be ready for operation iu the early spring, making a new dirt ot line between Boston and Providence. The cost of this work is as-uuied by the Old Colony RR. Co. under the terms of its lease. During the year a connection has been inadu at Wes* Cheshire, Conn, between the Middietown Merlden & Waterbury RR and the New Haven & Northampton RB by building an inexpenelve cut-off about 2,000 roet in length, which makes a direot route between New , Haven and Waterbury. 28^,090 225,572 161,64i 966,149 31,309,569 The Bridgeport improvement is well advanced, much the larger porwork being completed, but it is not expected that this improvement oan be wholly completed before the last ot next year. The elimination of ten publlo and four private crossings at Fall River. Mass., has been commenced. Work at the South Boston passenger yard, including an extensive lay out of tracks the erection of a tion of this , 34-staU engine house, etc., etc., la partly finished. The elimination of . . : ' THE THKONICLE 730 grade oroHslriRH at Bine Hill Ave. and Oakland St., Mattapan, Boston, onMidland Division, Is now praotioally completed, and trains are Tanning on tbe new tracks. The opportunity arising to secure about 20 acres of land adjoining the present freight terminal in South Boston, 1 1 was deemed wise to acquire this property; title was raken by the Old Colony RR Co., which has Issued (since the close of the flso 1 year) its 3 **% bunds for 000, the purchase price of the land, under the provisionsof the $1,0 leaf e. This land will be very valuable for present and future freight facilities.

Pro*p tc is— The business conditions prevailing in the territory served lines ai e very favorable, and warrant the conclusion that the results of the present fiscal year will be equally satisfactory with those of the year jost closed. Our gross receipts will praotloaliy be limited only by onr capacity for handling the business offered. We have only a single-track line and already the gross revenue per mile of ro»d operated equals that of several of the trunk lines west of Chloago whose mam lines are double-traoked. We are handling a relatively larger business, at a less ratio of expense, and with more limited facilities, than most of the other large Western lines. The demand for transportation consequent upon ihn extraordinary development of the territory served has taxed our fao it is a necessity pressing upon our attention illtles to the utmost, that considerable sections of the main transcontinental line be doable-tracked In the near future.

Consolidated Tobacco Co. British American Agreement Under an agreement announced on Sept. 27 close relations have been established with the Imperial Tobacco Co. of Lon don (V. 75, p. 897); the control of Ogden's, Limited, has been turned over to that company; three representatives of the American company have been elected to the directorate of the Imperial, and each company agrees in future to confine its operations to its own country, the export business of both to be turned over to a new company to be organized in their common interest under the title of the Butish-Amerlcan — (see that comoany above.).

The result Is that the Im perlal Company will, as agreed between the biherto competing parties, be left in possession of the trade of the Uulted Kingdom, while the American company Is not to be disturbed In the United States or Cuba, and the British- American Company will compete for the trade of the oi her parts of the world.

The American company beoomes a large shareholder in the English company, with tnree representatives on its board of directors, one of whom is Mr. Duke. The Consolidated Tobaooo Co. will pursue Its business in the American flel l, including not only the United States, but Cuba Porto Rico, the Hawaiian Ii-Unds and the Philippines, without competition from the Britich company. The Imperial company will not encounter the competition of the American company in the business of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, lnoiuning Scotland and Wales.

OCTOBEK EPITOME COMMERCIAL Friday Night, Oct. 3, 1902. The stringency of the money market has been relieved to a considerable extent by tbe action taken early in the week by the Secretary of the Treasury. Still, the financial situation has continued such as to create greater conservatism on the part of merchants generally, and in many lines buyers have shown a disposition to hold back and await developments. Rainy weather has been experienced over a considerable area of the country during the week, interfering with the gathering of the late crops. Reports from the corn belt state that the quality of the new crop^is being affected by the wet weather.

Early in the week, slightly better cable advices, a legs favorable weekly report by the Weather Bureau than generally expected, and reports of excessive rainfall in the Southwest section of the cotton belt had their itfluence in favor of the market and prices advanced slightly. On Wednesday and Thursdav here was a quiet, hesitating market, awaiting the monthly Bureau report to be issued on Oct. 3. The slight changes that did cccur in prices were towards a lower basis, due, it was claimed, to a limited liquidation of January contracts by the bull interest. Friday there was tn unsettled market. The opening was at slightly better prices, but the market immediately turned easier, and during the morning gradually sagged, with the leading speculative holders moderate sellers of January contracts. At noon the monthly report of the Agricultural Bureau was received, and it placed the average condition of the crop at the low figure of 58 3. This was below the expectations of many, and was reflected in an immediate up turn to prices on buying, coming largely from shorts to Low Middling Middling Btrlot Good Ordinary Good Ordinary 014 oft038 off Low Mid.

The movement of the crop for the week continued large, being considerably in excess of the movement for the same week last year. The large supplies, however, now coming into 6ight appeared to have little iifluence as a factor. The export movement of cotton has been fairly free, but the demand from domestic spinners for actual cotton has been reported as very moderate. The close was steady at a net gain in prices for the day of 7@8 points. Cotton on the spot has been slightly easier, closing at 8'94c. for middling uplands.

Sellers have been stronger in their views and have held for higher prices, especially for spring-wheat fljurs. Buyers, however, have been slow in placirjg orders, as af >er their recent free purchases they have their requirements for the present fairly well protected, and have shown a disposition to pursue a waiting policy. City mills have been firm but quiet. Rye flour has had a moderate jobbing sale at steady prices. Buckwheat flour has sold at $2 60 for spot supplies, with buyers at f 2 25 for delivery later in the month. Corn meal has been in moderate demand and firm. Specula'ion in wheat for future delivery has been fairly Eirly in the week interest was centered in the active. squeeze of snorts in September contracts in the Chicago market, and on their efforts to cover, prices were steadily ad vanced to 95c, at which figure the month went out, la the meantime, however, the tendency of prices for the more distant deliveries was towards a lower basis, influenced by bearish statistical developments. The world's exports for the previous week snowed a large to al and were it fleeted in a considerable in cnase in the amount of wheat on passage to Europe. The United States visible supply also showed asubstantial gain for the week. On Wednesday, however,the marker, turned stronger; the removal of the menace of the speculative deal in September contracts had a favorable influence. The buying by commission houses was on a more extensive scale. European cable advices reported steadier foreign marketr, weather conditions in the West were reported unsettled and unfavorable for a full crop movement, and these factors re suited in a moderate up-turn to values. Business in the spot markets here and at outports has been quiet, only a very moderate demand being reported from expeorters; prices have followed futures. To day the market was fairly active and firmer with the corn market. Business in the spot market was more active and prices advanced. YORK.
