Transactions on the Boston Exchange were slightly greater than in the week ended September 7, but smaller than a year ago. In comparison with the similar week of last year the week's exchanges exhibit an excess of 7-6 per cent, and the only points recording losses of any importance were Duluth 38-5, and Baltimore 21-6, the decline in the latter case being due to the holidaj's. The cities most prominent in percentage of gain are Galveston, 79-6 per cent; Fort Worth, 78-6; Dallas, 65-4; Grand Rapids, 51-3; Des Moines, 45-6, and Denver 43-6 per cent. The clearings at New York, other than those due to stock operations, were for the week this year 8483,370,721, an increase of 35-9 per cent over 1888.

For the eight months to August 31, though the consumption is over a million tons less than in 1888, it is 623,152 tons greater than in 1887 and 2,485,603 tons greater than in 1886. The Chicago Burlington & Northern has taken the action expected on the question of meeting the competition of the Lake Superior lines. It has reduced local rates between Chicago and St. Paul from the basis of 60 cents first-class to 40 cents, and at the same time has again put into effect the old 15 cent tariff on business coming from the seaboard.

In the aggregate, the gain on the 105 roads reaches no leas than $3,278,009, which is almost a million dollars more than the gain for January, when the weather conditions and other special circumstances made such an important difference in the comparison of results between 1889 and 1888, and the amount is from two to six times as large as the gains in other months. The contrast with June, the month preceding, is of course specially striking, for then there was a slight decrease in the net the very favorable statement now only confirms what we then said in explanation of the loss, namely ; that it was the result of special and transient causes and therefore not to be regarded as permanent in character. Not only, however, is the improvement heavy, but, what is of equal importance, it is widely distributed. There are 23 roads out of the 105 reporting which show diminished net, but these are of such minor significance that when we arrange the roads in groups or geographical divisions in our usual form, it is found that not a single section fails to participate in the increase, and in most cases very largely, too.

The Union Pacific, counting all the various lines owned by it, some of which show a decrease, has a gain of $273,324.

There is besides a large number of roads whose gain ranges between $50,000 and 1100,000 each. With the exception of the Atchison and the Central of Georgia, the roads showing losses are all minor ones.

Following up our investigations as to the progress the cotton plant has made and the prospective yield as indicated by its condition at the end of August, we are now in possession of reports from the various sections of the South which permit us to make the subjoined analysis. First, as to the weather, our returns show conclusively that the temperature has been below the normal of a series of years almost everywhere, but the principal effect of this has been merely to delay the maturing of the plant. In the review for July we stated that the rainfall had been excessive over the greater portion of the Atlantic States, and the same remark applies for August, although not to so gi-eat an extent. Elsewhere the presipitation has been about as desired in fact the conditions, on the whole, have been quite favorable, barring cool nights and morning.^. At one or two points in Louisiana and Mississippi damage from di-ought is claimed. The plant has made only fair progress in portions of the Carolmas and Georgia, but along the Gulf and in Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas the development has been very satisfactory generally, although outside of Texas and some other favored districts cotton is later than last year by from ten days to two weeks. Tho reports from Tennessee show that there has been material and rapid improvement during the month. In Texas the plant is stated to be more advanced and better fruited in the Yazoo Delta (the richest cottongrowing region in the country) it is better in every way, while from Arkansas come reports that although the plant is not so well advanced as last year, the prospect generally was never better. Here and there in the different States are sections where the plant lacks vigor, but in by far the greater part of the South it is strong and healthy. ; Ttondt. ^Mexican National. but Callfo-nia Southern. the system not SHpanitely given In this or other in, a'l 1 Including that part of Valley from a deficit of $.5,419 to net of $20,813, and Cincinnati Cultivation has been as thorough as usual still, wliere rain has been excessive the fields are certain to be grassy to an extent.

Contrary to general expectation, rates in the outside market have declined this week. Although much of the money borrowed from the Bank of England last week has been repaid, short loans have been made freely at from 2 to 2}4 per cent, and the rate of discount is rather under 3)^ per cent. It would appear that the inten-uption of business caused by the strikes is diminishing the demand for banking accommodation. Further, there has been no settlement on the Stock Exchange this week. And, lastly, Continental bankers are actively competing for bills in London. The withdrawal of gold from the Bank of England has conDuring the week ending Wednesday night the net tinue<l. amounted to £33,000. On Thursday there was a net withdrawal of £74,000, and early next week it is expected that a large amount will be needed for Brazil. The premium on gold at Buenos Ayres, too, wliiich last week declined, is again rising The fear, therefore, this week. It is now about 85 per cent. that a large demand for the Argentine Republic may spring loss again strong, and there is much uncertainty as to New York also may not require gold. Meantime, the Imperial Bank of Giermany has raised its rate of discount to 4 per cent, and its rate of interest to 5 per cent, the same charges as are now made by the Bank of England,— so that there does not seem much probability of getting gold in any considerable amount from Germany. In addition, Paris Ex- up is whether — change upon London is declining instead of rising. It was hoped that as soon as the " liquidation" at the beginning of the month was over gold would be sent to London in considerable amounts; but the hope has not been realized. The position therefore, is Bank as unsatisfactory as ever, especially a? the reserve of England barely exceeds 13 mUHons sterling [Vol. XLIX, and the presumption is all the stronger because of the which exists in Italy in regard to France. There is a strong party, likewise, both in Belgium and in Switzerland, that is in favor of the .single gold standard. At the same time there are very substantial reasons why Italy, Belgium and Switzerland should renew the Union. The greater part of the silver coined by these three countries is in circulation in France. But if the Union comes to an end they must pay in gold for half the excess of their silver in France over French silver in those several countries. It is estimated by official statisticians in Belgium that tlie Belgian five franc pieces circulating in France exceed the French live franc pieces circulating in Belgium by nearly 13 millions sterling. If the estimate be correct, Belgium, in case the Union is not renewed, will have to pay in gold nearly 6 millions sterling to France when making the change regarding silver. It is not known ard; ill-feeling how much Italian silver is in circulation in Fi'ance, but believed that the excess in her case in the case of Belgium. It is would be very much difficult it is greater than for Italy to find upon to pay to So evident is this that some of the serai-ofiicial Italian papers ai-e contending that the obligation upon Italy to do so is not binding. The contention, however, can hardly be regarded as serious. The great strike still continues. Last week the joint committee of the London Docks conceded in principle the demands of the men that outsiders should not be paid less than two shillings a day for any extra job, and that contract work should be abobshed; but they refused to raise the rate of wages to sixpence an hour for regular work and eightpence an hour for overwork, and they still persist in the refusal. The laborers, on their side, decline to resume work until the increase of wages is granted. In the meantime, an arrangement has been arrived at between the leaders of the strike and the owners of wharves along the riverside at which vessels can be loaded and unloaded. The wharfingers conceded all the demands of the men, and several thousands of laborers have ah'eady resumed work. With reference to the dock laborers, as the strike continues the irritation of shipowners with the joint committee grows in intensity. the amount France if the of gold which she will be called Union breaks up. They demand that they shall be allowed themselves to load and unload their own vessels, and settle with the men directly British Mint has ceased buying silver this week, and the terms at which they shall work. The joint committee rein consequence there has been a slight fall in the price. But fuses to allow them. Naturally, this has excited considerable as remittances are required for India, very little more decline resentment, as the shipowners are suffering much loss, and in of the an is entirely inadequate amount at this time of the year. Tlie many expected. There much amongst bankers herewith the instructions given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Bank of England to pay out as much silver as possible and to refrain as far as practicable from issuing half-sovereigns. Bankers complain that the withdrawal of half-sovereigns and the increase of silver coins impose upon them additional clerical labor. To this the Chancellor of the Exchequer replies that half-sovereigns are chiefly needed to pay wages; that as soon as workingmen receive gold they have to change the coin •with the shopkeepers with whom they deal, and that his decision, therefore, is in favor of the great mass of the peo])!o and imposes no serious disadvantage upon bankers. Tliere is another objection, however, urged by bankers, which has considerable force. As long as trade is active and the internal circulation is increasing, they say, the silver which is paid out to them by the Bank of England is readily absorbed in the is dissatisfaction cases are compelled to send their vessels to other ports. attempt will be made in the next session of Parliament, it is understood, to obtain for the shipowners the right which they claim, and if it fails, it is probable that we shall see a new dock constracted here by the shipowners. The stagnation on the Stock Excliange grows worse and wor.se. The great majority of the members are absent holiday-making, and the principal outside operators are also An away. As an illustration of the state of affiairs in the market for American railroad secui'ities, it may be worth while to repeat a remark made a day or two ago by a broker. " In ordinary times," he said, " I have often bought 15,000 or But to-day 20,000 shares without anyone taking any notice. if I were to buy 1,000 shares it would be known all over the Exchange within half an hour.

The tone has generally been a little irregular, though plenty of firmness has been exhibited in certain classes, and the changes have been very slight. 1,220 11,00(1 2,600 1,100 Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.— The stock market has been dull this week and inclined to weakness in spots, the confident tone which prevailed for some time past having given place to a feeling of uneasiness in connection with the Western rate situation, and in some degree as to the money price. The open market rates for call loans during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 3 to 6 percent, and to-day the rates were 4.g 6 per cent. Prime commercial paper is quoted at 5® 5}^ per cent. The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed a loss in specie of £58,000, and the percentage of reserve to liabilities was 42v')2, against 42'29 last week; the discount rate remains unchanged at 4 per cent. The Bank of France lost 3,7.50,000 francs in gold and 3.400,000 francs in silver. The New York Clearing House banks in their statement of September 14 showed a decrease in siu-plus reserve of $2,993,000, the total surplus being $5,134,775, against §8,127,375 the previous week. The following table shows the changes from the previous week and a comparison with the two preceding years the averages of the New York Clearing House banks Predictions are common that there will be some tightness in money before the return flow of currency from the West, and rates have ruled higher this week, though not getting beyond 6 per cent. The Treasury Department is looked to for relief, but while the purchases this week have been larger than last they have not been heavy enough to affect the money market materially. In addition to this influence more attention has been given to the rate situation as affected by N. in reducing through rates. Local the action of the C. B. rates between Chicago and St. Paul have been reduced by nearly all the lines involved to the basis of the proportion of N. And the Lehigh Valley has the through rate made by C. B. N. on through business issued a joint tariff with the C. B. via lake and raU. These matters have given the bears a new opportunity to attack the market, though their success is to be seen more in a general halt than in any material declines.

The exchange was required to be made through the State Tieasurer, and in accordance with the ordinance the then Auditor, the Hon. Allen Jumel, prepared new bonds to the amount of §671,000, and turned them over to State Treasurer E. A. Burke. The only exchanges made for these new bonds, so far as known, amounted to §217,000, and there should consequently remain in the keeping of the Treasurer §4.54,000 of the bonds unissued and invalid until properly exchanged. But none of these bonds are found in the State Treasury, and it is supposed that the whole issue has been floated and has drifted into the hands of innocent third parties. The investigation now in progress may not be concluded for a week or ten days yet. Ik IS oxjjccted to disclose the full amount of the frauds and perhaps the authorship thereof. Treasurer Burke is in England and sails for home on Saturday, LonlsTille & NashTille.— The Louisville & Nashville RR. Co. has let contracts for forty-seven miles of road from Cumberland Gap to Princei?s Flat, Va., where connection is made with the Norfolk & Western, giving a through line from Louisville to Norfolk. There are four contractors, and the line, it is said, will be open within a year. Minneapolis St. Paul & Sanlt Ste. Marip.— At a meeting of the stockholders of this railway, commonly called " The Soo," held in Minneapolis, Mr. W. D. Washburn retired from the presidency, and Mr. Thomas Lowry was elected in his stead. The Board of Directors has been reduced from thirteen to seven, and is now composed of Thomas Lowrv, R. B. Langdon, J. S. Pillsbuiv, W. D. Washburn, John Martin, H. E. Fletcher and C. H. Pettit. New Torii New Haven & Hartford.— At New Haven, Sept. a special meeting of the stockholders of the New York Hartford Railroad Company was held. The recommendation of the Directors that the capital stock be in16, New Haven & creased to §18,600.000 from the present amount of $15,550,000 was adopted. The Connecticut Legislature la-it winter authorized an eventual increase to §50,000,000, for the wiping out of the funded and floating debt of the company, the making of permanent additions and improvements to its property, and an exchange for the shares of the capital stock and the obligations of any railroad company held by lease for a term as long as fifty years. President Charles P. Clark explained that the resolution of the Legislature did not limit the company as to time in respect to the purchase or payment of its own funded or floating debt, or in making additions and improvements to its property, but for the exchange for shares or obligations of its leased lines action could only be taken during the present century— that is, up to and during the year 1899. President Clark added: " Disregarding for the present the question of exchanging the shares of our stock for the stocks and bonds of our leased lines, upon which the policy of the company has not been determined, it is probaVjle that for the purpose" of paying our debt an immediate offer of our own stock at par to our own shareholders will be made. The floating debt of the company in the form of notes, which may be paid instantly, amounts to substantially .§3.000,000, and the Directors propose to authorize the immediate issue of one share of new stock to tlie holder of five shares of present stock, upon the payment of $100 per share. This will place in the company's treasury $3,100,000 in cash with which to pay the.se notes. It is proposed to offer these shares to the stockholders of record at the time of the dividend, which has been declared payable the Ist day of October. A.ssignments of rights to fractional shares, when presented in multiples of five, will entitle the person named thereon to take the new stock on payment of $100 a share. The certificates of new stock will be issued the Ist day of October. The call for payment will be made for the 1st day of October, but stockholders may have the whole of that month not only in which to decide whether or not they will take Iheir'allotment, but also in which to pay for it. As this new stock will begin to participate in the January dividend, which will presumably begin to accrue from that : and interest of the company in the existing and tributary lines to be built under lease or otherwise, and also the securities of said branch and tributary lines now held by the company and hereafter to be acquiredf all the right, branch title lines to secure the issue of §160,000,000 of bonds having one hun dred years to' run, and bearing interest not exceeding five pe cent per annum, to be used as follows : p For the retirement of $77,430,000 outstanding flrst, Becondand third mortgage bonds For ibe retirement of the existing $26,000,000 branch bonds For additional branches at a rate per mile not over $30,000 For enlarjrement of tenniuals and stations, additional riiUi')^ stook, betterments and renewal-i, and other expenditures not properly chargeable to operating expenses For premiums ou bonds exchanged, (thsse bonds, however, can only bo used for this purpose upon the alHrmaiive vote for that purpose of at least nine members of the B lard, and when in the opinion of the rust e=, expressed iu writiug, a saving of iuter«st to the Cjmpany t an bo clTectea by such exohaoges of bonds.) $75,000,000 26,000,000« £0,000,00a 20,f ".mS lO.OOP.OOff For general purposes 9,O00,COO $160,000,000 This official plan was adopted by a unanimous vote of the, directors. It was explained that the reason the amount set apart for the redemption of the first, second and third why mortgages was over §6,000,000 less than that fixed in the Villard circular was that there are land notes sufficient to retire the bonds of the Pend d'Orielle division in about three years, and that the operation of the sinking fund and land operations will suffice to retire the bonds of the Missouri River division in about ten years. The address to stockholders says " The Board also is of the opinion that the time has come to make such provision that the company may take advantage of its high credit to effect a reduction of fixed charges. There is every reason to believe that the company will be able to borrow at a lower interest than it is now paying on its funded debt as well as on its guaranteed bonds. The high premium on all the bonds issued under all the three mortgages, and on several of the issues of branch bonds, is conclusive evidence of this. need not say that every reduction in the rate of interest wiU be a direct gain to the stockholders. It is deemed quite feasible in time to effect an exchange of the proposed consoUdated mortgage bonds for the outstandingfirst, second and third general mortgage bonds, on terms that shall save a large item of interest and effect a reduction of the amount paid for sinking funds. For it is well known that investors prefer securities that are not liable to be suddenly called in for redemption at a lower rate than the market price. do not wish to be understood, however, that this can be accomplished immediately. As there can b«no compulsory redemption under the terms of the mortgages, except by the operation of the sinking funds, it is certain to take considerable time. As regards branch road Iwnds, it seems possible to effect at once a considerable saving in fixed charges by,the substitution of the proposed consolidated bonds. " Meanwliile, however, by concurrent aci-Jon on the part of the Oregon Trans-Continental Company, §9,567.000 of the branch road bonds, for the interest and sinking funds of which the Northern Pacific Company is responsible, can be redeemed at short notice, and bonds at a lower rate of interest and without sinking funds be substituted therefor. " feel assured, also, that the new bonds can soon be exchanged on favorable terms to the company for all the outstanding branch bonds that are or will be subject to call for the sinking fimds. These in the aggregate amount to $7,478,000, involving the call of §74,780 per year, or, including the amount payable into the sinking funds of the Oregon TransContinental branch roads, the sum of §175,410. The sum of $425,000 must be paid yearly for nine years, for equipment for vehich the railroad company h s made contracts. It willbe seen, therefore, that under the projxjsed plan at least the sum of §600,410, equal to 1 6-10 per cent on the outstandingpreferred stock, can l)e made available yearly for division among the preferred stockholders as soon as these financial arrangements can be made. It is also believed that the holders of other branch bonds not liable to call to the amount of §7,184,000 can be induced to exchange their Ixmds for the consoiidatad bonds, whereby a further annual saving of $71,240 for sinking funds will be made and interest reduced." The following resolution was passed by the Board. _ : We We & We & [Vou XLIX. THE CHRONICLR Jhe Hommtvcinl ij^imcs.

Toledo City Bonds.— new financial question has arisen in the city of Toledo, O., involving the power of municipalities to lx)rrow monev, and issue bonds therefor, for certain purposes. The facts, in brief, are as follows In the month of January, 1889. the Legislature of the State of Ohio passed au act entitled ' An Act to Authorize cities of the Thu-d Grade of the First Class to Borrow Money and Issue Bonds therefor, for the purpose of Procuring Territory and Eight of Way, Sinking Wells for Natural Gas, Purchasing Wells and Natural Gas Works, Purchasing and Laying Pipes, and supplying such city with Natm-al Gas for public and private use and consumption."' The act applies to the city of Toledo only. Under and pursuant to the terms of the act an election was held April 1 and a majority voted in favor of bonding the The amount of bonds authorized to be issued was citv. board of natural gas trustees has been organized $750,000. in the city, $75,000 of the bonds were marketed, gas territory acquired 40 miles from the city, wells put down, and a quanThe sum realized from the sale of the tity of gas obtained. bonds has been exhausted in the work above mentioned, and for the purpose of further carrying out the intentions of the act the balance of the bonds, amounting to §675,000, are about to be placed on the market. The only use, it is alleged, to which natural gas can be applied in Toledo is for fuel, and no intention is expressed of applying it to any other use or pmpose. The problem is whether the supplying of fuel is one of those uses tor which the power of taxation may be exercised, and whether a mimicipality can be emiwwered by the State to furnish fuel at public expense ? Some parties interested in Toledo property residing in New York, Brooklyn and Chica;<o have brought their suit in the United States Circuit Com-t, in Ohio, against the City of Toledo, to test the matter, and this suit is still i)ending. The contentions of the respective parties in brief are, by the city, that such matters are ruled simply by expedieucy, and that when the Legislature of the State authorizes and the citizens declare by their votes, that the supplying of any article which may be used by the people is expedient, their action is final. The plaintiffs in the suit contend that the furnishing of fuel is not within the province of a city government, and tlierefore is beyond the power of the State to authorize. The principle involved becomes of general importance iu defining the powers of taxation under new conditions, and as affecting the validity of all issues of bonds made by naiuicipalities for the jiurpi se of supplying their people with fuel. motion for a preliminary injunction to restrain thu city from issuing the bonds was denied, which leaves the city free to issue, but leaves the suit yet to be determined on its merits.

All the Exchanges voted for it, but in the case of New York. St. Loui><, Memphis, Natchez and Meridian, with the qualification that the action was to be " subject to the indorsement of their exchanges."

At the evening session the subject of a uniform standard of cla.ssihcation was brought up and the following resolution unanhnously adopted " That it is the sense of the membere of this convention that a uniform classification of cotton ought to be made, and now recommend that the ditTerent Exchanges appoint experts to of spot cotton, have been as lollows: Saturday Uonday.
