Week ending September 18. business makes it especially incumbent that the legis lative program outlined by him .should be carried into effect. We referred last week to what he said on this point in his speech before the Boston Chamber of Commerce, and this week, in his speech at Des Moines, he made much the same remarks, declaring that we must “remedy as promptly as we can the defects in the present regulation, in order that we shall not, under the influence of prosperity, forget to insist that we are not to return to former abuses.” We regret to say that both the speech regarding the Corporation and Income Tax and the address with re lation to railway regulation and the Anti-Trust law contain many disquieting features. In both he makes it plain that what has already been done in the way of regulation, restriction and interference, and the ex tension of the powers of the Federal Government, is only a prelude to what is to come. In defining his attitude regarding the Income Tax Amendment, he took particular pains to state that if this Amendment be adopted, as he hoped it would, it would be possible to “enlarge the corporation tax” so as to include a proper burden on bondholders in corporations as well as the shareholders. In another part of the same speech he reiterated this declaration in more precise language, saying that, through the Income Tax Amendment, “it will be possible to add to our cor poration tax the feature of imposing a tax on the bonded interest in that corporation by a percentage tax upon interest to be paid, thus reducing the amount of interest which the corporation woidd pay to the bond holders to the extent of the tax collected.” Thus, the aim is clearly and unmistakably disclosed. The bond holder is getting too much interest, and hence the amount of the same is to be reduced through a Federal tax. He averred that he was opposed to a general individual tax except in times of great .national stress, but the bondholder and stockholder in corporations, THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. Our financial markets have this week once more be they large or small, must somehow be reached and been under the domination of political influences. mulcted.

He wants the Income Tax Amendment adopted movement and tendency which resulted so disastrously nevertheless, because it will enable the Government in 1907.

In information thus obtained may be made a basis for cidentally, he took occasion to declaim against great further legislation of a regulative character.” Thus fortunes—some of the newspaper accounts say that every one can see what is coming.

There is to be further interference with the OXJR CONVENTION NUMBER. With to-day’s issue of our paper we send to our sub scribers our “Bankers’ Convention” Section, reporting the proceedings of the Convention of the American Bankers’ Association held at Chicago last week. This Convention number gives all the papers and addresses read and delivered before the Convention, and also the proceedings and discussions on the floor, includ ing the deliberations of those two lusty auxiliaries of the main body, namely the Trust Company Section and the Savings Bank Section. Many of the papers and addresses were of a weighty character, worthy of the study and consideration of the general reader, and by bringing them together in a special number the sub scriber gets them in a shape most convenient for imme diate use and future reference. The present number of the “Bankers’ Convention” Section is by all odds the largest ever issued by us, and we think it will also be found unusually attractive by reason of the extra fine paper used and the care taken to produce typo graphical work of the best kind. We wish also again to direct attention to the fact that the present number contains, as a distinctive feature, an historical review of banking in Chicago. The author is Frederick W. Gookin, who, as has been previously pointed out by us, possesses especial quali fications for the task. Chicago ranks second only to New York in financial strength, and it seemed desira ble to have its banking history put in authentic form while the facts were still available. No attempt, we believe, has ever been made to cover the ground in narrative form in such a comprehensive way as is done by Mr. Gookin, and we think we are within the mark when we say that to-day it is the best review extant of Chicago’s banking history. affairs of the citizen; his taxes are to be increased, and his income and other business secrets are to be revealed to the public gaze if he carries on business, no matter how small, in corporate form. in inter-State commerce shall, after a certain date, continue to hold stock in a competing railroad.

Tracing the course of cot shall not enter upon a wild and fantastic scheme of ton spinning, he remarked upon the over-building municipal ownership, the outcome of which could of mills in Lancashire the last three years,that has resulted rather disastrously to the industry in Great Britain. Informing his auditors of the progressive methods in cotton manufacture abroad, he impressed upon them the necessity of watching and not be littling foreign competition. The third report of the committee on “Standard Specifications for Staple Gray Goods” was one of the most interesting papers presented at the session. In concluding the report, the committee stated that the “Cotton Manufacturers’ Uniform Sale Note,” as ap proved by the national and other associations, is now in actual employment in the trade, and its use it is expected will rapidly increase. Mr. Henry I). Martin of Clinton, Mass., discussing the question of “In creasing the Earning Capacity of a Plant,” noted that it is first necessary to increase the efficiency of the man upon whom everything depends. A machine, he remarked, “cannot produce better results than what the man puts into it. The returns are in pro portion to the energy he injects into it. Machinery is so skilfully made that it is almost human-like in its responses to man’s dictates.” Mr. Theodore H. Price of New York discussed at some length the “Limitations of American Cotton Production as Affected by Scarcity of Labor in the South,” illustrating his remarks by lantern slides and presenting interesting statistics. Other papers presented at the meeting were in con siderable measure of a more or less technical nature. Industrial conditions in the United States continue to improve, and as a result there is a noticeable dimi nution of the ranks of unemployed labor. The change in the labor situation within a year has been in part made possible by the let-up in the tide of immigration; had this kept up on the scale prevailing before the panic of October 1907, there would now be a different story to tell. But soon after that event departures of aliens became very large and immigrant arrivals dwindled. Fortunately, too, there has been no decided rush in this direction since signs of improvement in our affairs became discernible. The returns for August are now available, and they show that the inward movement of immigrant aliens during August, as we indicated a month ago would be the case, was smaller than in the preceding month, but considerably in excess of the small arrivals in August of last year. The official total for the month this year is 59,777, which compares with 66,218 in July and 27,782 in August 1908. In August 1907, however, the arrivals were 98 ,825. As in previous months the inflow was largely from Mediterranean ports, Italians making up the greater part of the total, and the movement of Hebrews and Poles in this direction is still relatively important. For the eight months of the calendar year 1909 the immigrant arrivals were 660, 118. This appears large when placed alongside the meagre total of 248,008 for the like period of 1908, but is comparatively mod erate by contrast with the 939,909 of 1907, or the 840, 287 of 1906. The aggregate is also fully 100,000 less than in 1905 and not much greater than in 1904 or 1903. Besides the immigrant aliens the monthly arrivals include aliens returning after temporary ab sence abroad. These non-immigrant aliens (so they are officially classed) totaled 12,215 in August this year, against 11,824 in the month last year and 12,310 in 1907, and for the eight months numbered 127,888 and 80,151 and 110,954 respectively. The combined immigrant and non-immigrant alien inflow in August 1909 was therefore 71 ,992, against only 39,606 in 1908 and 94,902 in 1907, with the eight months’ aggregate reaching 788,006 this year and contrasting with 328,159 in 1908 and 1,050,813 in 1907. Turning to the outward movement of aliens we find the situation much the same as in earlier months—a moderate volume of departures. The outflow of steerage passengers in August was in fact only 24 ,000, as compared with 45,713 in the month last year and 44,317 in 1907, and for the period from Jan. ltoA ug .31 it was 168, 118, against 437,067 last year] and 260, 515 two years ago. Striking a balance between the inward and outward movements we find that, whereas in August of the present year, there was a net increase of 47,992 in foreign-born population, 1908 recorded a loss of 6 , 107, and for the eight months of 1909 our net gain is 619,888, against a decrease of 108,908 last year. The excess for each period in 1907 was of course heavy —66,818 and 790,348 respectively. As for the current month (September) immigration is proceeding at a greater rate than in August, but is nevertheless of strictly moderate proportions. The arrivals of steerage passengers at this port for the first 23 days of the month total 42 ,327, against 43,147 for August this year, 56,635 for the whole country in September 1908 and 115,287 for the month in 1907. Departures, however, are much smaller than in either 1908 or 1907. It is likely, therefore, that the com pleted figures for the month of 1909 will show a further gain in population of about 50,000, which will contrast with an increase in the month last year of 14,411 and an excess of 71,553 in 1907. An interesting event of the week of somewhat more than ordinary importance was the purchase on Mon day by Russia of $2 ,250,000 of the Capo gold which was offered in the London bullion market on that day. The gold was obtained at a concession of one penny per ounce as to price, and neither the Bank of Eng land nor British bullion dealers competed for the metal. If this price shall be exacted next week, when a con signment of $5 ,000,000 is expected to be offered, and if the metal shall therefore be obtained by Russia, without competition, it will seem to indicate either that the Bank of England or British bullion dealers, or perhaps both, are intervening to divert the gold directly from London to St. Petersburg instead of, as has on some recent occasions been the case, causing Germany to contribute part of Russia’s requirements for gold for crop distribution and thereby compel the maintenance of a maximum rate of discount, influ encing, to a greater or less extent, official rates at all the European centres. If the Bank of England has intervened in this particular case it has probably been influenced by the expectation that it will be called upon, in the immediate future, for the metal for Egypt, and, possibly, South America, coincidently with the usual autumnal drain. Quite possibly a political crisis may develop through the threatened rejection of the British Budget by the House of Lords, and if this should occur, with discounts tense on the Continent, the Bank of England, for self-protection, might have to raise its rate, perhaps with widespread deranging effect upon commercial expansion at least. Cables from London note irregularity in gilt-edged securities, reflecting prospects of higher discounts in connection with the foreign demand for gold. Expectations at the close of last week, based upon reported conferences of the German Imperial Bank directors, that the intended advance in the official rate of discount would be deferred were not realized. The directors on Monday of this week apparently reached the conclusion that such advance could not longer be properly postponed, the rise in the un official rate to figures only fractionally lower than the proposed 4% Bank rate clearly indicating the develop ment of discount tension in the open market, which would be aggravated were Germany to be subjected to a further loss of the metal, despite the efforts of the Bank of England to divert the drain of gold for Russia from Berlin to London. The immediate effect of the action of the Imperial Bank’s directors was gen erally to harden European unofficial discounts. The Berlin market was weak for Americans, the result of a 5 % rate for money for the purpose of settlement. It seems likely, according to official dispatches, that the Spanish war against the Riff tribes in Morocco will soon be ended. The Spanish land forces, sup ported by warships, advanced on the Moorish posi tions at Melilla on Monday. The enemy made but slight resistance to the vigorous attack, which was covered by artillery fire, resulting in great execution, many houses being demolished. Some of these houses exhibited white flags and many of the Moors and their women and children sought refuge in a cemetery, which was riddled with shrapnel. As a result of the attack the Spaniards on Monday night held the penin sula near Punta Negri and one thousand prisoners. Dispatches from Madrid report that the demon stration of the Spanish troops was eminently success ful on Monday and Tuesday in attaining their offensive object—the turning of Mount Guruga and the sur rounding of the ferocious Beni-Sicar tribesmen. The reports agree that the Moors showed fanatical courage. Near Taxdir four battalions of Spanish troops were deployed over a front of six miles; they were charged audaciously by Arab horsemen, but a strong detach ment of Spaniards checked them, and the movement was successful, the Moors being finally routed, leaving their dead on the field. It was reported on Monday that the negotiation for the Costa Rican loan for $ 10,000,000—which was being tentatively arranged by the Government with a prominent American bank, with the object of liqui dating the country’s external debt that had been in default since 1901—was likely to be postponed because of the refusal of the Costa Rican Congress to assent to the terms of the bank. The negotiations may be abandoned by Oct. 1 unless the Congress meanwhile takes action. Anticipating the settlement of the original terms, which would enable all defaulted bond issues to be refunded, there have recently been large purchases of these bonds in foreign markets where they are quoted. It was stated in the “Chronicle” of Sept. 18 that King George of Greece had announced his intention to abdicate. In the absence of reasons therefor, the matter seemed likely to be of only local foreign inter est. It appears, though, from mail advices that the intended action is the outgrowth of the recent mutinous demonstration by a small part of the army. The royal Princes resigned their commissions at the behest of the mutineers and the Crown Prince departed for Germany. The King decided to abdicate if certain demands of the army were urged; it is suggested, though, that this decision has been reached and announced in order to deter the army from pressing its demands too far and in this way bring about intervention by the Powers. The hope is expressed that there will not be such intervention. Their inter ference in Greece hitherto has been unfortunate for that country. They placed Otto on the throne, and his rule was disappointing; they next gave the office to King George, who has been a failure. Neverthe less it seems probable that the Powers will interfere should King George insist upon abdicating. The matter of such abdication has had a disturb ing effect upon the Paris Bourse, chiefly through fear of intervention by the Powers. It is urged that it will be impossible to find another Prince to succeed him; that an interregnum or a republic would cause divisions and give the Powers a pretense for intervening, and that a disorganized Greece in the present state of the near East would be a formidable danger. It is re garded as possible, though, that the Paris Bourse is taking the situation too seriously; it may materially change after the holidays are over, and it seems not impossible that the King may reconsider his intention to abdicate. The bank statement of last week showed a complete reversal of reserve conditions as compared with the previous week. Loan contractions last week seemed responsible for the change, and it is suggested that liquidation of foreign loan and finance bills which were permitted to run to maturity without attempt at extension will largely account for the loan reduc tions shown in the statement. The reports of bank average conditions did not indicate any marked change except in deposits. The statement of actual conditions, however, recorded a reduction of 30 mil lions in loans and of 28 millions in deposits. Re serves were increased $8 ,955,950, to $ 12, 122,050; computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $ 1,799,500 public funds, the surplus was $ 12,571,925 . Expectations last week based upon the rates for domestic exchange on New York that the movement of currency to the interior in aid of crop distribution was nearing its end were not realized; the rate at Chicago, after ruling at par early in the week, fell to an important discount, while at other points, including Montreal, no change was noted. The Vice-President of one of the down-town banks which has a large list of correspondents throughout the country this week declared that there would be plenty of money to meet the demands from the West and South for cotton and other crop-moving purposes and for all legitimate business needs during the remaining months of the current year. The demand from the crop centres has, he said, not been so great this year, and it is probable that so much Eastern money will not be required as heretofore, owing to the Western banks being so well provided with funds that have been re served for the crop-moving emergency. This official further remarked that he didjnot anticipate any short- age of money this fall, notwithstanding the high prices of stocks; he claimed that there was a large amount of French and British money that would seek invest ment in American railroad and industrial securities in which Europeans have confidence. Money on call, representing bank and trust company balances, loaned at the Stock Exchange this week at 3 % and a t 2%%, averaging about 3 %; all lending in stitutions quoted 2%% as the minimum. Time money was not active, but lenders were quite as insistent as they were last week in refusing to quote concessions from their established rates, especially for over-theyear maturities. Contracts for shorter fixed periods are advanced as the due date approaches the closing months of the year, and borrowers have to choose be tween the shorter and the longer period, usually se lecting the latter, which tends to concentrate the business upon loans maturing in the first quarter of the new year. Time loans on good mixed Stock Ex change collateral are 3%% for sixty and 4 % for ninety days. For loans maturing in from four to six months the rate quoted on the Exchange is 4 % to 5 %. One loan, on all industrial security, was placed by a casual country lender at 4 %% for six months. Commercial paper is in moderate demand; supplies are not accumu lating, for Eastern, local and Western banks are in the market for investments in choice names. Rates are practically unchanged at 4 @4 %% for sixty to ninety day endorsed bills receivable and 4%@5 % for choice four to six months’ single names. The Bank of England rate of discount remains un changed at 2%%. The cable reports discounts of sixty to ninety day bank bills in London 1%@2%%. The open market rate at Paris is 2%% and at Berlin and Frankfort it is 3 %@3%%. According to our special cable from London, the Bank of England lost £ 903,211 bullion during the week and held £ 39,409,115 at the close of the week. Our correspondent further advises us that the loss was due mainly to exports to Egypt. The details of the movement into and out of the Bank were as follows: Imports, nil; exports, £ 1,011, 000 (of which £ 125,000 to Alexandria, £ 400,000 to other Egypt and £ 360,000 to South America, £ 126,_ 000 to various destinations), and receipts of £ 108,000 net from the interior of Great Britain. dence that speculative selling of exchange had been recently resorted to, short having been selected for such operations, and that thereby this class of bills had been largely oversold; market quotations for short did not, however, appear to sustain this asser tion. Rates for exchange on Saturday of last week were 5 points lower for long, compared with the previous day, at 4 8445@4 8455, 5 points higher for short at 4 8605 @4 8615 and 5 points for cables at 4 8630 @ 4 8640. On Monday long fell 5 points to 4 8440 @ 4 8450, while short rose 5 points to 4 8610@4 8615 and cables 5 points to 4 8635 @4 8645 .

On Wednesday long fell 10 points to 4 8425@4 8435 while cables rose 5 points to 4 8630 @4 8635; short was unchanged. On Thursday long was 5 points higher at 4 8425 @4 8440 and short 5 points at 4 8610@4 8615; cables were unchanged. On Friday the market was dull and steady, with long; 5 points higher and short 5 points lower. The following shows daily posted rates for sterling; exchange by some of the leading drawers.

There was some evi THE “HUDSON-FCJLTON CELEBRATION The Hudson-Fulton Celebration, to which, with its guests from other cities and countries, New York begins to give itself up to-day, is in several ways a curious event. It is not the exact tercentenary of Hudson’s discovery of the river which bears his name— that discovery occurred on Sept. 2 1609. Nor is it a centennial in any sense of the birth and one great achievement of Robert Fulton, who was born in 1765, floated his first steamboat on the Seine in 1803, and made his first long and successful passage from New York to Albany, on the little steamer Clermont, on Aug. 11 1807. It has been intimated that the Com mittee of Arrangements selected first the centennial year of Hudson’s discovery, combined with it as ap propriate a celebration of Fulton’s achievement, and then, in selecting dates, chose the period most pro pitious, according to the weather records. The occasion is curious and exceptional, also, in hat it is not the celebration of an event generally recog nized as epoch-making in history, such as Columbus’s discovery in 1492, the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the fall of the Bastile and the adoption of the American Constitution in 1789. All of those four events were natural occasions for celebration by the world at large, on whose fortunes their direct influence has been very great. Hudson’s discovery was not even the beginning of the settlement of New York; that came a good deal later. Neither did it, in the long run, oven determine the actual ownership of Manhattan Island, which was claimed by the Dutch on the ground that Hudson sailed under a Dutch charter and by the English on the ground that Hud son was an Englishman. War eventually settled the matter in favor of the English, notwithstanding the long Dutch occupation, and Hudson himself, seeking a “Northwest passage" to the coast of China—for which, indeed, he was looking when he accidently hit on the Hudson River—eventually perished in the exploration of Hudson’s Bay. The occasion is, however, in a peculiar way a cele bration of New York City itself. This year is at all events the three-hundredth anniversary of the dis covery of Manhattan Island by the white man, and the including of Fulton in the celebration has a certain definite appropriateness, since the rise of New York to international prestige and celebrity is a historical consequence of the invention of the steamboat. There were, it is true, numerous great ports which rose to world-wide renown in the early days of sailing vessels; Hamburg, Bremen and the other free States, Venice, and London itself were noteworthy instances in point. But these were primarily centres of ac cumulated capital and wealth devoted to shipping interests, with the view of distributing merchandise among the neighboring ports and of exploiting pre cisely such distant localities as New York. Steam may be said to have been indispensable to New York’s extraordinary rise in commercial prestige during the century past, making this city the market which, with its wonderful harbor and the extraordinary con tinent behind it, naturally distributed to consuming Europe the products of that continent—foodstuffs^ minerals and textile material—and re-distributed the products of older Europe to the increasing millions in the American communities. Looked upon from this point of view, it is not too much to say that America in general, and New York as the commercial avenue into America, have provided a solution of the in dustrial problems of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries which baffled in their time such minds as that of Malthus. ' The occasion, then, makes timely a few words on New York itself, and its place in the scheme of the world’s industry, commerce and finance. The ready participation of the event by the foreign States who are represented in the celebration is in its way a very distinct tribute to the new importance of New York in the affairs of the world at large. We say new importance, for it would perhaps be difficult to many minds to realize in a moment how recent this position of the city is. Fifteen or twenty years ago, the affairs of New York, financial, commercial and economic, were discussed in European capitals much as the affairs of India, Australia and Japan are now-a-days talked about. Lowell’s “certain condescension in foreigners toward America" described not merely a supercilious turn of mind which may have existed towards a young and perhaps unduly self-assertive community, but described also the actual conclusions at which the foreign mind had arrived, by observation and reflection on the position of the country. What Dickens in the fifties and Mrs Trollope in the thirties saw in the United States as a whole, and in New York in particular, most people are aware. This was long ago; but the crudities and provinciaqualities of the nation and the city survived long after the day of these well-known visitors. It is impossible even for New Yorkers to read to-day the intimate story of New York in the Civil War and in the Sevenl ties, without gaining very much such an impression of our city at that time as was gained by those earlier visitors. The change within the past generation has been, perhaps, as striking as has ever occurred in so short a time in the case of any of the world’s great cities. It is not necessary to compare and contrast such figures as those of New York’s volume of com merce, bank exchanges, and so on, for the earlier period and for to-day in order to point the contrast. Perhaps as striking an illustration as could be obtained off-hand will be found in Europe’s attitude toward our financial panic of 1893, which certainly to the Ameri can observer was an event of epoch-making pro portions. The London financial press and the European economical societies discussed that financial convulsion at the time in much the same way as they discussed the panics in Australia and Newfoundland during the same year. Our temporary suspension of bank fa cilities, our premium on currency and our bid of an excessive price for European gold, occurred that year as they did in the similar episode of fourteen years afterwards. But readers of well-informed foreign publications, such as the London “Economist,” will find, if they consult the files of 1893, that the episode was described as a far-away incident which concerned financial Europe only indirectly. The notion that it was such an occurrence as could shake the founda tions of Europe’s own financial structure obviously never entered the minds of the foreign financial critics. When one contrasts with this the European attitude toward our panic of 1907, the intense financial agita tion throughout Europe, the rise of European bank rates to almost unheard-of figures, the direct negotia tions in our behalf with the Bank of France, and the grave recommendations from the Governor of the Bank of England as to what our Government ought to do to check this portentous phenomenon in world finance, he will obtain the clearest picture of the change which has come about. This change, as we all know, began with the great industrial revival in this country after 1897, and par ticularly with the altered conditions of agriculture, when a general rise of industrial prices favoring pro ducers coincided with the European harvest shortage and a phenomenal increase in the American crops. This, and the very similar phenomena which fol lowed in markets for America’s other natural products, whether a result of the world’s greatly increased gold output or, as other experts believe, of the threatened depletion of available supplies of products essential to the world’s use in food and manufacture—necessarily brought America, with its extraordinary resources, into the foreground of the commercial and industrial world. The so-called “American invasion,” over which European economists and statesmen agitated themselves as far back as 1897, was merely the visible and automatic outcome of the new conditions. We are aware of the theory, very prevalent at one time, that our nation’s show of fighting power in the Spanish War was itself a main factor in the enhance ment of our national prestige in the eyes of foreigners. That episode, though in itself spectacular and suited to impress the European imagination, nevertheless must be classed as incident rather than cause. It was itself the expression of the new power and resources of America. The increasing recognition, since that time, of America’s place as arbiter of the world’s mar kets for wheat, cotton, copper and, in a measure, iron, had nothing to do with the Spanish War, but a good deal to do with the new advantages of our indus trial position, our accumulating wealth and our bold use of home and international credit. It was in con nection with these elements in the situation that such specially striking incidents of the period arose as the organization of the steel and shipping combinations— of which it may be said that they brought to a head with spectacular suddenness the change in Europe’s view of this city’s importance in the commercial and financial organism. It is natural that, on an occasion of this peculiar sort, the mind should occupy itself in conjecture as to the future of a city whose recent financial and industrial history has been marked by so striking an evolution. The popular idea of 1901 that New York, if it was not already the central money market of the world, was sure very shortly to become that market, is not nowa-days often heard. The reason, we suppose, lies in the fact, pretty clearly demonstrated by the events of the past half-dozen years, that, with all our increased wealth, New York and the country at large are still in a measure dependent on Europe for the capital needed to promote our industries; that our currency and banking systems are still too crude and imperfect to admit of the possibility that deposits of outside States and governments will be lodged in New York City, and that our money markets and our financial markets generally are still too much subject to im pulsive and excitable speculation to invite unre servedly the confidence of the outside world. But to admit these handicaps at the present time is not to prove that the future will bo similarly con ditioned. London itself, in the matter of bank prac tices and financial conservatism, is a very different money market from the London of fifty years ago. That defects and errors in our financial system and our financial practices will be corrected as time goes on, and that conservatism will become more and more a dominant trait of character as the community grows older, are probabilities to which the experience of all other cities points. Meantime continuance of the city’s great expansion in wealth and commercial prestige is as certain as are the industrial opportunities which lie at its doors. One may imagine, without any very daring flight of fancy, the result, at some time in the more distant future, of a financial metropolis with a power and international prestige not paralleled in previous history. These are predictions which will naturally be governed or qualified by evonts which have not yet unfolded themselves, and by influences which cannot now bo foreseen; but thero remains, under any circumstances, the notable fact of New York’s peculiar position as the international gateway to a country more than ever indispensable for its natural resources to the needs of the outside world, and immune, as no other foreign nation is, from the disturbing possibilities of invasion or insurrection. It is considerations of this sort which make a celebra tion such as that of the coming week significant in the broader sense. M A R K E T EFFECT OF P E N N S Y L V A N IA CONVERTIBLE BONDS. The course of Pennsylvania Railroad shares in the stock market affords an interesting study. The stock has not been so buoyant during the bull movement of this year as have a number of other issues of good railroad shares with which the fluctuations in Penn sylvania stock may be compared. The low price of Pennsylvania in 1908 was 33 points below the high price of the year 1907. This decline was not so great as that suffered by a number of standard stocks. Atchison common dropped 42 poinis, Baltimore & Ohio 46 , Louisville & Nashville 58, New York Central 44 and St. Paul 54 . Most of this group would there fore have to advance more than Pennsylvania above the low price of 1908 in order to recover lost ground and rise to the level of the top price of 1907. They have, however, not only done this, but most of them have risen to a level much above the top prices of 1907, while Pennsylvania is only about six points above its highest price for 1907. Atchison is ten points above its high price of 1907. The cause of the failure of Pennsylvania stock to manifest strength which will comparo favorably with that of other like issues cannot bo found in the state ment of earnings of the Pennsylvania. It is true that the trunk-line railroads suffered more than any other group during the recent depression in business because the iron and steel industry was so adversely affected and because the great manufacturing establishments of the East felt severely the stagnation in business. But the Pennsylvania system has shown great re cuperative power. Its loss of gross earnings in 1908 was partially overcome by a great reduction in ex penses. On the lines directly operated east of Pitts burgh and Erie for the year 1908 the net earnings decreased $6,330,000. During seven months of the pany, and in addition the receipts of the company present calendar year the net earnings of the same will be swollen' by the creation of new business which lines have increased about $2,600,000, and the indi will naturally follow the completion of the improve cations are that over $5,000,000 of the loss of net ments. Apparently the weight which is holding down the earnings in 1908 will be recovered this year.

We mean by this that the time of the reorganization of the Reading property, the cost of coal mined and purchased during the year the amount of bituminous coal moved by the railway was 7.6 cts. per ton higher than for the previous year, was comparatively small, the soft-coal traffic in 1896-97 while the price realized was only 9-10 of a cent per having aggregated no more than 1,690,228 tons.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—Operations at the Stock Exchange have been in fair volume throughout the week and the tendency of prices has been towards a lower level. Evidently the rise noted last week carried prices too high, and, if so, a reaction was inevitable. The latter has, however, been a moderate one, and nothing has occurred during the week to make it otherwise, except that some of the President’s utterances indicating that the pur pose to establish Government control of corporations will be pursued are more or less disturbing in financial circles. It is reported that the heavy storm in the Gulf States has caused considerable damage to the cotton crop in some localities, and cotton in this market has advanced to an unusually high price for the season o f year. Presumably these reports are exaggerated. Saturday’s bank statement showed a substantial addition to the surplus reserve, and the money market has been steady, with call loan rates at 3% or under. The movement of currency to the West has not been excessive, but the de mand from the South is increasing. The foreign bank state ments show no material change in the financial situation abroad. The Stock Exchange will be closed to-morrow on account of the beginning of the IIudson-Fulton celebration. The latter will absorb more or less attention during the next ten days or two weeks. The open market rates for call loans at the Stock Exchange during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2% to 3%. To-day’s rates on call were 2%@3%. Commercial paper quoted at 4 @4%% for 60 to 90 day endorsements, 4%@5% for prime and 4 to 6 months’ single names. .p^The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed a decrease in bullion of £903,211 and the percentage of reserve to liabilities was 52.77, against 53.36 last week. The rate of discount remains unchanged at 2%%, as fixed April 1. The Bank of France shows a decrease of 9,125,000 francs gold and an increase of 1,100,000 francs silver.

State and Railroad Bonds.—Sales of State bonds at the Board are limited to $33,000 Virginia 6s deferred trust re ceipts at 46 to 47%. The market for railway bonds has been somewhat more active, the transactions on Tuesday amounting to about 5% million dollars, par value. The active list has been unusually steady, net changes being limited in nearly all cases to minor fractions. Practically all the exceptions are convertible issues, which declined conjointly with the shares. Conspicuous among these are Union Pacific and Atchison issues. These have also been active. Pennsyl vania and Southern Pacific convertibles have been notably active and steady to strong in sympathy with the shares. Other changes are unimportant. United States Bonds.—Bales of Government bonds at the Board are limited to $1,000 4s coup., 1925, at 117%.

Railway and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market has continued irregular, but with the tendency mentioned last week reversed. In many cases the advance then noted has been lost, or largely so. The results of the week’s operations are quite dissimilar, however, as will be seen by referring to the following pages of quotations. These show that while Union Pacific, St. Paul, Louisville & Nashville, Reading and Delaware < Hudson have declined from 3 to fc over 4 points, Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific and Canadian Pacific have made a net gain. The total transactions to-day were by far the smallest of the week and the market has been practically featureless, with a sagging tendency. Of the industrial group, National Biscuit, Republic Iron & Steel and United States Rubber issues have been the erratic features. Rubber first preferred, which advanced 6% points at the close last week, has lost a large part of that gain, while Rubber common has advanced, and National Biscuit closes 4 points higher. Vulcan Detinning, which made a sharp advance on Monday, closes with a net loss of 2% points. F o r d a i l y v o lu m e o f b u s in e s s se e p a g e 769.

The Armour interests are quoted as saying that a receivership is not possible at this time, since current earnings exceed fixed charges, and President Wheeler denies that he has been selling his holdings, and asserts that business is increasing rapidly. The company, he says, has just ordered 2,000 additional cars and 100 additional loco motives to care for its new business.— V. 88, p. 100.

With phenomenal activity in iron and steel, and prices of these commodities rapidly advancing, the tone in the business world remains very confident. Still in other in dustries the improvement is more gradual. Southern in dustrial centres, however, are sending very favorable re ports. The same is true of most other sections of the coun try. Prices are generally steady. LARD on the spot has advanced, owing to the strong live hog situation, small supplies of product and a rise in the future market. Trade moderately active. Prime Western 12.87c., Middle Western 12.75c. and City 12c. Refined lard has advanced with a moderate business. Continent 13.10c., South America 13.75c. and Brazil in kegs 14.75c. Specu lation in lard futures has been active at rising prices. The bullish factors have been small hog receipts, strong hog prices, light stocks and general buying.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has been active at an advance of about $4 a bale. This was due largely to a tropical storm which swept up the Mississippi Valley and is supposed to have done considerable damage to the crop. This would take the shape of beating down the cotton and lowering the grade. Just how much damage has really been done remains to be seen. In the meantime, however, an active speculation has sprung up. James A. Patten is in the market on the bull side, figuring on a crop something less than 11,000,000 bales and a world’s consumption of American cotton of 13,000,000 bales or more. lie is quoted as laying stress on the large increase in the number of spindles in recent years, and believes that the tariff on woolens and other fabrics will inure to the benefit of cotton goods. In general, he em phasizes the disparity, or supposed disparity, between sup ply and demand in the interest of the bull side. Aside from thus, other Western operators are believed to have been buy ing, and large New Orleans and Memphis operators have also arrayed themselves on the bull side of the market. Fur thermore, spot markets have been strong, and in parts of the South, notably at Savannah, a good demand has been reported. Liverpool spot sales, if not quite so large as in the previous week, have been liberal, ranging from 10,000 to 12,000 bales a day. Print cloths have advanced at Fall River. Reports in regard to the condition of trade in Eng land and on the Continent are more favorable. Reverting to the storm, it is said that damage has been done in Mis sissippi, Louisiana and parts of Arkansas, as well as in Ten nessee and Alabama. Louisiana suffered from a tidal wave, and for several days it was impossible to get complete quo tations from New Orleans; for two days they were shut off altogether. The New York stock is steadily decreasing, having fallen off nearly 20,000 bales this month. It is some 10,000 bales smaller than a year ago and 105,000 less than at this time in 1907. Wall Street and Liverpool houses, £ 3 well as those in the West and the South, have been good U buyers, and estimated daily transactions on the Exchange have latterly been from 400,000 to 650,000 bales a day. Heavy rains have fallen at times in Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas and Mississippi. October, which was recently at a discount of 10 to 11 points under January, has within a day or two sold a point or two over that month. Spot cotton here on Thursday advanced 40 points. It is true that the receipts at the ports have been heavy, and that the total thus far this season is larger than for the corresponding per iod even last year, the year of the high-record crop. It is also true that hedge selling by the South has continued, and is likely to continue for some time to come in more or less liberal volume. Also, there has been very heavy realizing of profits on the long side, and from time to time more or less selling for a reaction. But the market has promptly ab sorbed offerings and reactions have been both moderate and temporary. Futures have reached a new high record for this season, and in fact are the highest for some years past. To-day prices advanced on further reports of damage from the tropical storm, rising spot markets at the South and gen eral buying. Spot cotton here has been quiet but stronger. Middling upland closed at 13.75c., an advance for the week of 105 points.

The commercial crop reached a total of 2,247,000 bales more than in 1907-08 and was 278,000 bales greater than the yield for 1906-07. It will be observed that, with the exception of Louisiana and Oklahoma, the various States exhibit gains over 1907-08, the increase in Texas being noticeably great. Compared with 1905-06, a gain even a little larger than over 1907-08 is recorded; but contrasted with 1904-05 the excess reaches only about 34 of a million bales. The average yield of lint per acre was nearly 203 lbs. the past season, or 33 lbs. greater than in 1907-08. The production by States for the last five seasons has been as follows: P R O D U C T IO N B Y S T A T E S . * E m b races receip ts In E urope from B razil, S m yrn a, W est In d ies, &c. 1908-09.

Prices for wheat flour have shown unimportant changes during the week, though on the whole the tone has been firm and some grades are slightly higher, reflecting the strong position of cash wheat. Trade in the local market, however, has been so dull that prices are mainly nominal. There has been practically no business in winter-wheat flour. At some of the large milling centres of the country, notably at Min neapolis, the sales of flour of late have been very large and the output of the mills is heavy. Rye flour and corn meal have been quiet and steady. Wheat early in the week advanced, but since then it has gradually receded in price. The advance early in the week was attributable to the fact that, owing to persistently heavy receipts at the spring-wheat markets and an absence of export demand, the market had become somewhat over sold. Also, flour sales at the Northwest increased and cash prices for wheat were everywhere firm. Increased premiums were paid for a time by millers for the actual wheat. A better cash demand was reported at Minneapolis and St. Louis and Southwestern receipts were small. Predictions were rife, too, that the spring-wheat receipts would soon show a sharp falling off. Millers in Texas were buying at St. Louis and winter-wheat mills were also buying at Min neapolis. But, as already intimated, prices have since had a setback. Two things militate more or less seriously against a sustained advance. First, the large receipts at the Northwest and steadily increasing supplies, and, second, the absence of export demand. The world’s available sup ply increased no less than 11,200,000 bushels during the past week instead of 7,639,000 bushels, as was reported on Tuesday last. On some days the receipts of spring wheat at Minneapolis, Duluth and Winnipeg have approximated 1,700 cars. Foreign crop reports have been in the main favorable. Europe is more disposed at the present time to buy from Argentina, Russia, India and Aus tralia than from this country. There is some talk, too, of an increased acreage of winter wheat being planted, something which may well be credited, seeing that the price is far from unattractive. Meantime, what with dulness of speculation, slowness of export business, large spring-wheat receipts and increasing stocks, the market has got into something of a rut. The small movement of the winter-wheat crop is not regarded as a sufficient incentive to bull speculation. On the one hand we have a light, although increasing, visible supply, and on the other a lack of export demand. Mr. Fatten is quoted as taking the ground that it will take several months to determine which is to yield, Europe or America. He thinks that Europe will not yield as long as it can get plenty of wheat from Argentina, Aus tralia and India. Meantime the American crop is supposed to be 75,000,000 bushels larger than last year. To-day prices declined on heavy receipts at the Northwest, dulness on the spot and general selling. The cables were generally lower. A liberal increase in the visible supply is expected next week. Reports regarding new winter-wheat prospects were very favorable. F r id a y , S e p t. S a t. D A IL Y C L O SIN G P R IC E S O F N O . 2 M IX E D C O R N IN NEW YO R K .

Indian corn futures in the local market have been nominal. At the West trading has been active. Prices there have sagged of late, owing to increasing crop estimates, dulness on the spot at weaker quotations and general selling in which large elevator interests have been prominent. A crop estimate of 2,745,000,000 bushels caused considerable selling. It is the general belief that the bulk of the crop is safe from damage by frost, and although frost has occurred on several nights during the week, it has had no effect on sentiment. Weakness in Liverpool has also been a depressing factor. To-day prices declined on favorable crop reports, a dull and weaker cash market, large Argentine shipments, liquidation and hammering. M on.

N e w Y o r k , F r i d a y N i g h t , S e p t . 24 1909. In the cotton goods market interest has naturally centred in this week’s further sharp advance in the staple, which carried the price of spot middling upland, New York, well above 13c. In the primary market for some time past contract business has been checked by the unusual condi tions prevailing in raw material markets, mills and buyers, as is well known, being far apart in their views; with the staple daily soaring to new high levels and with no indica tions when the limit will be reached, it is apparent that the situation and outlook have become' even more complex. The time is near at hand when mills will be obliged to re plenish their supplies of cotton and, unquestionably, at prices considerably above those paid a year ago; therefore, it is hard to escape the conclusion that unless buyers agree to terms that will afford manufacturers a reasonable profit on goods to be made from new-crop cotton, the latter will curtail production, especially of heavy cotton cloths. Mill interests maintain a very firm attitude and appear quite confident and hopeful regarding the future, claiming that supplies of staple cottons among jobbers and others are not large—in fact, insufficient to meet probable requirements Y o r k to S e p t. -9 ,9 7 3 2 9 5 ,0 2 6 W eek.

In the primary market for domestic cottons a somewhat better demand was noted for light-weight fabrics, both for near-by and late delivery, and while the volume of new busi ness was not heavy, the movement was freer than for some time past; goods of heavier construction, however, continued to drag. A fairly good business was reported done on staple and fancy prints, jobbers in the South and West forwarding good-size orders, many of which were for spring shipment. Bleached goods were advanced j^c., with indications that the tendency is still upward, while advances of y c . were an nounced during the week on percales. Ginghams have been in active request, although purchasers have been trying to secure allotments on the former price basis; a fair volume of business, however, was placed at the new price level, and available supplies, it is stated, are steadily decreasing. A further shortening of the discount on duck is noted, and Southern brown sheetings have been moved at somewhat higher figures. Trade in linings has been quiet, but the market has continued firm in sympathy with the strength of gray goods. In the print cloth market demand has been active and spot supplies further reduced. Mills in a position to make the required deliveries accepted M. C. 1). Borden’s advanced bid of 3%c. for regulars and a considerable busi ness was done at that figure for deliveries up to January. Mills as a rule, however, have been unwilling to quote except for near-by shipment and not a few manufacturers have been disposed to withdraw prices temporarily because of the advance in the staple. Regular print cloths are higher at 3%c., but standard wide goods remain unchanged at 5 ^ c . WOOLEN GOODS.—The primary men’s wear market has ruled quiet, as mills are waiting for clothing manu facturers to make their canvass for orders on spring lines; in short, this is the between-seasons period. Demand for certain lines of dress goods for fall, especially broadcloths, has been well maintained, while the call for voiles, both foreign and domestic, has been active, and leading producers are reported well under order. Manufacturers of staple dress goods have orders in hand that will keep them well engaged for several months, but some producers of fancy worsteds are said to be not so comfortably situated. Staple worsteds, on the other hand, are being re-ordered in fair quantities. FOREIGN DRY GOODS.— Foreign woolens and worsteds have continued to find a good market here. Linens have been active and strong, with available supplies insufficient to meet all demands; reports of large stocks held in ware houses here are denied by leading factors. In the burlap market a moderate business has been done for spot delivery, but futures have been dull; prices remain unchanged. , Breckenridge, Wilkin County, Minn.— B o n d s N o t S o l d . — No bids were received on Sept. 11 for the two issues of 5% coupon bonds aggregating $40,000, described in V. 89, p. 612.
