The last three months, however, the returns have been

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

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

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

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.

confident that the measures they are taking will very som

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

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

the gold shi.im a nts should assume unexpectedly large pro

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.
Of the total tons (1 664,592) carried in 1901-02, bituminous
coal furnished l,0t*6,9i3, bang 65-93 p. c; average freight
rate per ton per mile, -461 cents; train load, 399 tone; earnings
per freight train mile, $1 84.

President Lucius Tuttle says in substance :
General Results.— Of the $1,033,856 increase in gross earnings,
$409,826 was derived from passengers; the total number carried was
666,767 less than the previous year, but the average distanoe they
traveled increased Irom 16*43 miles to 17-32 miles. 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. The expendl.ures on oapltal account have ag-

President and General Manager McDoel says inpart:
Both passenger and freight rates have been well maintained. The

(Report for the

fiscal

outlook for business tor the ensuing year justifies the belief that gro»s
earnings will equal, If not exceed, those of the year ju«t closed. Our
expenses, however, on account of the advano-* in price of all material
and supplies necessary for the operation of the property, and the
tendency toward higher rates of pay to employes, will necessarily increase the ratio of expenses to earntnes.

New York New Haven & Hartford

Railroad.
(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.

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

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.

says in substance
General Results. -During the year 1901 a fair grain orop was harvested along tho road, which, coupled with the excellent general
business conditions, resulted in a substantial increase in earnings.
The gross earnings show an increase of 37'7 p. c, the net earnings 68
p. c. and the surplus 383-8 p. 0. over 190 1. Operating expenses were
47'3 p. o of the gross earnings, compared with 5t-.-l p. c. the preoedlng
year. Notwithstanding the decreased percentage of expenses, the
property and equipment have been maintained In excellent condition.

llo 45 miles of new road, viz Wishek, N. D., to Pollock, 8 D 6982
miles; Summit Junction to Frederiok, Wis 22-43 miles; extension of
Rice Lake branoh to Blrchwood Wis., 1619 miles; spurs, 2-01 miles.
The company has also constructed a line from Braddook to Btstnarok.
N. D 4<> miles, which began operation Aug. 25th of this year. Most of
the work however, w»s done before June 0.
Immigration— During the early spring and summer of 1902 there
was a large immigration into the Northwest. Your company has received a liberal percentage of these settlers, and a largely Increased
acreage has resulted— particularly along the lines in North Dakota.
The line through Wisconsin an Michigan is also receiving increasing

SO, 1902. J

Statistics.— Following are comparative tables for four years:

OPEBATION8, EABNINGS, EXPENSES AND CHARGES.

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.
Chicago Bublihgton * Qoinct.—The operation of the Burlington
system lor the fiscal year has shown arevenue amounting to $1,2' 3,
389 In eicees of the Interest rjpon the joint bonds issued by the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern railway companies to purchase
the stock of the Chloago Burlington & Qulnoy. The last-named has
paid interest on these bonds, applying tuereto the dividends on its
stock, deposited as collateral to seonre those bonds. The result has
cot firmed the wisdom of securing ,joli t oontrol ol that property and
justifies ihe estimate placed upon its value at the time the capital
stock was purchased.

Tbe f 8, 000,000 reserved June 80, 1898, to ensure regular
dividends on preferred stock has been restored to surplus,
leaving total surplns income Jane 30, 1902, $8,054,709. Oat
ot earnings there was expended for improvements $3,000,000.

on the Stock Exchange for several weeks past at prices considerably above the previous highest record
At the same
time rum >rs of various kinds have teen in circulation such
as reports of closer relations with other roads, of buying by
the Rockefellers and more recently of an impending increase
ot stock.
Chairman Ro^well Miller is qioted as spying " no
increase of the capital stock or a new bond issue is now
contemplated," bur, nevertheless the rumors that the directors
would shortly consider the issuing of more stock have continued to reappear.
The extension of the Chi-ago Rock
Island & Pacific to Kansas City will bring the two systems
into physical contact, and in view of that fact arrangements
have been pending for a strong traffic alliance between the
companies, but this Chairman Miller states will not be an
exclusive contract, and " no financial interest," he says, " is
involved" in it.— V. 75. p 556, 549.

several months ago to the Canadian Government, President
Sir Tfiomas Shaughnessy said:
The company offered, subject to certain traffic arrangements, to establish a weekly service of zo-knot steamships between Liverpool an
a »t. Lawrence port durlnsr the summer months H-Ul ax to tin the
Canadian port dunng the winter months, for a subsidy of £2tfVOoO
sterling a year during the first ten years, with a graduated reduction
in the bin >unt of subsidy during each of the two folio wing periods of
five years, the ships to be modt-rn In every reBpeot and to be
built especially for the route. In addition to this the company flgnt
fled its willingness to furnish a fleet of modern freight, steamers of
10.000 tor s capacity each sailing at a speed or about twelve or thirteen knote p^r hour, serving Canadian ports.
Up to 'he presem time your dlreotors have no information as to the
poltc} likHy to be adopted by the G veiotuent. but whatever may be
the outcome of ..he negotiations for the fa«t mall service, the rapid
growth of your ex ort tonnage and the necessity for being io a position to meet the rates of any of your competitors matte It Imperative
that your o< mpany be eo situated on the Atlaitlo that it can quote

compel ed to negotiate for space and rates with independent steam
ship lines.
It 1» not expected, of course, that the fre'ght vessels when provided,
will receive any Government subsidy; therefore, th-re will be no
restrictions to prevent your comuany from running them between
such ports as may best suit the purposes of the company. V. 76, p.

might show that he, and not Peter Power, was the owner of
the shares of stock upon which the suit was based. He then
dismissed tbe entire suit. The Judge in his decision criticised
Mr. Weidenfeld for " imposing " upon the court in bringing
the suit in tbe name of Peter Power, for "grossly improper
conduct in obstructing this cause before the examiner," and
for delaying the bringing of the suit until Dec. 30, when a temporary injunction might have thrown over the retirement of
the Northern Pacific preferred stock for an entire year, the
preferred being retirable only on Jan. 1 (V. 74 p 41), The
evidence, the Judge says, leaves no doubt thit the retirement
of the preferred stock was entirely valid.— V. 75, p. 611, 498.

It is stated, however, that the International

The British vessels shall remain British, not m«rely nominally, but
In reality. A majority of the dlreotors of the English subsidiary companies shall be of British nationality, the vessels shall fly the British

The gross earnings for the year were $70,903,868 11, an increase of $4,570,757 35 over the preceding year.
Passenger traffic contributed $4,940,7^8 35 of this increase,
due to the substantial improvement in general travel and to
the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo. Notwithstanding
the smaller tonnage of grain and anthracite coal carried
during the year, freight earnings show an increase of $1,109,379 85, due to a heavier movement of high class commodities.
The year's expenses. $46,863,489 13, were 6-^09 per cent of
the gross earnings. The increase of $4 275.273 33 over last
year is due to the higher rates of wages, greater cost of
material, large expenditures for additions and improvements
to the property, and to the added expense incident to the
heavier volume of passenger business.

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.

Lard on the spot has been unsettled, following the course of
the speculative market; it declined early in the week but subsequently turned firmer and advanced. Business has been
reported as quiet. The close was steady at 10 60c. for prime
Western and 10o.@ 10*253. for prime City. Refintd lard ha9
had only a small sale and prices have declined and advanced
with the raw products, closing at 10-75c. for refined for the
continent. Speculation in lard for future delivery has been
fairly active. During the first half of the week prices sagged,
but the advance in corn on the less favorable crop reports
started buying by shorts to cover contracts, and prices advanced sharply. The close was steady.

closing with buyers at 6 l4c Cotton-seed oil has sold slowly,
but prices have held fairly steady, with prime yellow at 40c.
Batter has b^en in fair supply, but with a steady demand
prices have been well maintained at 17J^@22L£c. for cream

in fair demand and firm for best grades.
Brazil grades of coffee have sold slowly. The trade generally has been an indifferent buyer, having fair stocks en
hand, and with the present excessive supplies in sight has
apparently seen little in the situation of a character to induce
additional purchases. The close was steadier at 5%c. for Rio
No. 7. Offerings of West India growths have continued
small, doe to light stocks, and prices have held steady, with
good Cucuta at 9c. East India growths have been steady.
Speculation in the market for contracts has lacked spirit, al

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has been on a
moderate scale only, the outside speculative interest shown
in the market beiDg comparatively small. 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

Divsiou of tne U. S. Weather Bureau, made public on
Tuesday the telegraphic reports on th« crops in the Southern
States for the week ending Sept. 29. Tbe reports on cotton
are suniunrizvd by the Depaitment as follows:
Repoits of irjury from the raio to open cotton are very general
throughout, lhe De t, with the exception or the Oarolinas and portions
of Texas, and sprouting and rotting in bulls are largely reported, es
peolaily in the central districts. Picking, though much interrupted,
fswell advanced, and is nearlng completion in some districts. Late
ootton in Central aud Northern Texas is making rapid growth, but will
not mature unless frosts are unusually late, and under these conditions a light too oroo may be gathered in Alabama. A flue crop of
Sea Is and ootton Is promised in South Carolina.

BREADSTUFFS.
Friday, Oct. 3, 1902.
Following an advance in the market for the grain there
has been a firmer market for wheat flour. 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.

quiet. There is a fair demand for spring lines of woolen
and worsted dress fabrics, with a steady market generally.
