Decreasing production and existing without influencing unfavorably other values sustaining the current price would tend to dry up the own. Indeed, the cut-off was only applied to what has always been called an "extra" distribution, although it has been a feature that is, since of dividend payments since the first October 1899; with that reduction the return the stockholders receive still remains at the rate of 6 per cent per annum a very good interest on a security selling in previous weeks a little above par.

They are what has brought all trusts into disrepute and have created and justify public hostility. It is, too, the kind of danger which more than all others threatens the existing cycle of prosperity. For copper is not alone in this matter. Values of all manufactured products have advanced to a very important extent. So far as this is due to higher wages, it is reasonable and necessary ; but so far as it is due to pegging prices, it is sure to restrict consumption and Several so kill the goose that lays the golden egg. sources of prosperity. trades are to-day giving signs of restricted among which movement; we may mention the building trade, struggling under a numerous body of small these is For it is the small trusts, so far as experience in the United States has hitherto gone, that peg prices and so suppress industrial expansion, and not the large ones. Standard Oil, Sugar R fining, United States Steel, all appear to put their product on the market lower than it has ruled before ; but glass and fifty others we might mention seem to be organized to put values on so high a level as to burden every dependent trade. trusts. when Amalgamated Copper sold largely at 130, the stock had been on the decline. Other adverse [factors in A wholly unexpected event has been the markingthe problem were already obvious and became more so up by Mr. M. C. D.

The general opinion seems to be that the act metal had been so large, was being seriously cur- was a shrewd one, situated as Mr. Borden is with a tailed. But the counter condition was set up that large stock of print cloths recently purchased. It, home consumption was expanding and so rapidly as however, puts other mills at Fall River in somewhat to absorb whatever Europe refused to take.

We are, however, strongly of the opinion that the people who are at the head of the Amalgamated Company are not of the kind to run They are strong parties, and likewise, presumably, conservative. Moreover, were their purpose to corner copper, or were they in danger of being burdened because of the stocks they hold, they would serious risks. have passed the entire dividend of both companies named above. The fact that they have only omited the distribution of what they have always called "extra" is, to our mind, evidence of a situation just den's purchases a good venture. On the other hand, the mills, other than Mr. Borden's, raise wages and go on manufacturing, the first cost of their produc- if would be increased and the tendency of the mills would consequently be to hold the product at tions money they sell at the old quotations; this situation would, it seems, again inure to the advantage of Mr. Borden and his stock of higher prices, as they lose clo'hs. if But suppose the higher price makes it profitable for print cloth mills to work day and night what then? for in the cloths South — The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe annual report reached us yesterday afternoon, too late in the week September THE CHRONICLE. 28, 1901.] for detailed analysis Co day.

The net receipts for the twelve months (afcer charging $900,000 to expenses for Betterment account) amounted to $20,305,340, and the fixed charges (including interest on the adjustment incomes) were only $7,830,811, leaving a Special balance of $12,474,529. The five per cent dividends paid on the preferred stock took $5,708,690, still leaving $6,765,839. This, it will be observed, is equal to stock common shares thus far, namely the payment of 1 i per cent in June last, and which called for $1,530,000. In addition to the $900,000 credited to the Special Betterment Fund and charged to expenses, another $1,000,000 has been credited to the same fund and charged to profit and loss.

We do not doubt that there are instances where the inensure the correction of the roll. This view of the case is partly correct and partly incor- sisting on a technical charge of this nature might one of considerable public importance, we take this opportunity to return to the subject. We wish, in the first place, to concur with our correspondent's view, that conclusive legal proof of the granting of a pension contrary to the letter of the pension law would be promptly used by Commissioner Evans for the correction of the list. Mr. Evans has, from the first, as we pointed out in our previous article, been a zealous promoter of the Government's It is owing to his deterinterest in these matters. rect, and as the matter involved is have done wrong to a deserving claimant. Hut it ought to be manifest to any reader how widely the door is opened by so sweeping a Btatute to the claiming of actual reward by a skulker and a coward. Nothing like this provision, so far as we are aware, was ever before dreamed of by any government or legislature in its senses. Passing to the last of the specifications to which our correspondent makes objection the receiving of pension allowances in the name of dead men by living — — mined stand that a host of baseless or questionable men who had no claim whatever to them we may claims for Government funds bave been turned from refer all doubtful readers to the records of the Penthe door of the Pension Office. We should be sorry to sion Bureau. The case, well known in pension circles, think that a national organization of veterans had of the Providence attorney who collected pensions in taken formal stand against such a public officer because of his devotion to the Government's rights and interests. We should certainly prefer to believe that the veterans had been misled into supposing that really unjust discrimination had been practiced. But with Commissioner Evans's record what it is and has been, we cannot hesitate to say that the attitude of the Grand Army organization towards him, as shown by its convention proceedings and by the action of some of its leading members, is most lamentable. What are the facts of the Pension Roll ? Misrepresentation, fraud and perjury are words which different people may possibly take in different senses. For ourselves, we should apply these terms to the action of any man who swears that a given infirmity or disability was contracted in the service when both he and his friends are aware that it dated from his birth, or was caused by incidents occurring long after the Civil War, or was to all intents and purposes imaginary. AVe hardly need ask our readers whether cases exist of pensions drawn on such a basis. We doubt if a dozen men could meet in casual conversation without eliciting almost as many examples, lying within the personal knowledge of the speaker, of an imposture practiced on the Government. Bat our correspondent must be quite aware that the striking of such beneficiaries from the roll is something which the most stout-hearted Commissioner could hardly accomplish. It is a matter of painfully common knowledge with what facility even physicians' certificates have been obtainable for such purposes as name of deceased clients long after their death, is one instance in point; but it is only one. The personation of dead men by swindlers anxious to get the pensions is a matter of record for which the rolls of the the Bureau will give ample testimony. Our readers may rest assured that we did not speak on this matter in ignorance of the facts. We may, perhaps, not have been warranted in saying that such offences are being practiced now. This, as our correspondent properly points out, is indirectly a reflection on the administration of the Bureau, whose duty would of course be to ferret out such frauds as was eventually done in the cases to which we have referred above. Unfortunately, however, there is too much reason for believing that the swindles perpetrated on the Bureau in former years are, in one way or another, still being plotted. An honest and capable administration notoriously has its hands tied, first by the extreme laxity of the Persion Law's own provisions, and next by the loose good nature with which the thousands of "special bills" are log-rolled through Congress. In these matters the Government, as a very competent critic of the pension system has remarked, "has to trust more to good luck than to anything else to save itself from being continually cheated." 1HE ILLINOIS CENTRAL— ITS POLICY AND METHODS.

The report states that the directors have ordered the completion of the double track from Chicago to Fulton, Kentucky, and the building of a second track from Jackson, Miss., southward toward New Orleans. These various requirements explain the further inof a single track, $13,200,000 now proposed.

Duriug the year the company acquired the lines formerly embraced in the old Peoria Decatur & Evan8ville Road and it has made $5,207,949 of advances on account of that purchase. The road has been included in operations sinoe Sept. 1 1900. and between 1898 and 1901 $3,582,985. The slower measure of growth in the earlier portion of this period followed not alone from the lack of industrial activity, out also, and most of all, from the great decline in rates. It will be remembered that the problem which had to be met in the case of the Chesapeake & Ohio waB how to move traffic at previously unheard of rates. The late C. P. Huntington was once quoted as saying —w think it was with reference to this very Chesapeake & Ohio property that there was profit even in moving tonnage at half a cent per ton per mile, provided a road could get tonnage enough. This was a very long time ago, before a half-a cent race had become so t — common as their lot it no longer to excite surprise. But the Chesapeake & Ohio management found that in the solution of the special problem which fell to would be necessary to move traffic for a THK CHRONICLE. 640 In 1891 great deal less than half a cent a ton a mile. the company was still able to obtain an average of 525 mills per ton mile on its total traffic. This, however, quickly became a thing of the past. The average dropped lower and lower, and the decliae was not arrested until this very last year, when for the In first time a noteworthy improvement occurred. 1900 the average was but little better than a third of a cent per ton per mile, being 3 43 mills. On the coal [Vol. LXXIII. having been in 1890 but 225 tons. And this shows how it has been found possible to enlarge net earnings and reduce the ratio of expenses to gross revenues, notwithstanding the steady shrinkage in rates. Including freight carried for the company's own use, the train-load in 1901 averaged 533 tonB. The average keeps well ahead of that on the Norfolk & Western, whose revenue load for the same year was 461 tons, against the Chesapeake & Ohio's revedoubled, it was but little more nue load of 511 tons. 2*02 The improvement in the average rate realized in mills, so that it beiDg but than was necessary to haul five tons a mile to earn a single the late year is deserving of a word of comment. The average for the preceding year had been 3 43 mills cent. the per ton per mile; for 1900-1901 it is 3 -88 mills.

For maintenance of way and maintenance of equipment combined the expenses of 1901 were roughly If million dollars larger than those for 1891, ten years before. Of course with the expansion in traffic and the increase in track and equipment, maintenance expenses would naturally go up, but the additions have been far in excess of the requirements for that purpose. Perhaps the best way to indicate how liberal the maintenance outlays have become is to show the way these outlays have been increased year by year. In 1895 the expenditures in that way were $2,602,677; in 1896 there was an increase to $2,907,351; in 1897 to $2,947,665; in 1898 to $3,131,898; in 1899 to $3,322,113; in 1900 to $3,774,655, and now for 1901 to $4,471,067. The further addition of nearly seven hundred thousand dollars ($696,412) to the maintenance expenses daring the late year attracts particular attention as showing what is being done in that respect. The increase in total expenses in that year was $859,095, so that over 80 per cent of the same is accounted for by the increased maintenance outlays. In cost of conducting transportation the addition during the year was only $158,066, and the smallness of the increase in this item is the more noteworthy as the company in 1901 moved 104,281,538 more tons of freight one mile than in 1900 and 6,642,474 more passengers one mile, and the cost of fuel, labor and supplies was higher. The fact merely furnishes another illustration of the improved operating results that are being obtained. We find that with 104 million more tons of freight moved one mile than in the yearjpreceding, an actual decrease was effected in the freight-train mileage, the trains having run only 5,969,060 miles in with the 1901, against 6,066,561 miles in 1900. This means that there has been another increase in the train-load, be a mistake to suppose that the rise can be entirely explained by said circumstance or that shippers have had to pay any such increase as the figures would appear to indicate. As a matter of fact the improved average would seem to follow quite as much from changes in the character and composition of the tonnage, increasing the proportion of high- class freights, from actual additions to rates. The statistics show that the company carried 203,157 tons less of flour and grain than in the previous year. This is traffic bearing very low rates, and it would not be at all strange if the falling off indicated that the road had, to an extent, withdrawn from this as class of business in view of the fact that its facilities and much more profitably, employed in other directions. Again, we notice that there was a were so fully, decrease of 218,857 tons in the tonnage in stone, sand and other like articles, and a decrease of 109,579 tons in the iron tonnage, both bulky and low-clas3 freights, while on the other hand the tonnage in miscellaneous articles, many of which no doubt bear high rates, in- Even in the case of coal, where creased 73,429 tons. the addition to tonnage was no less than 910,979 tons, or almost 25 per cent (and which increase alone prevented a falling off in the grand aggregate of the good part of the added tonnage no doubt went to local points on the line, where much better rates are realized than on the through coal freight traffic), a shipments. The tonnage, in the stone tonnage and in a number of other items of freight doubtless reflects the reaction in the iron trade and the check to industrial activity generally which was experienced loss in the iron for a time in 1900, while the Presidential canvass and was show that conditions during the twelve months ending June 30 1901 were in progress, it serves to Nevertheless the general not altogether favorable. income statement for these twelve months is the best After providing for inin the company's history. other fixed charges, a surplus remains on the operations of the twelve months in the sum of $2,001,897, which compares with only $1,156,582 in terest bringing it up to the high figure of 511 tons.

London, Saturday, September 14, 1901. The serious relapse in the condition of Preaident McKnley yesterday and his death this morniig has caused much grief here, and on every hand we hear expressions of sorrow that your illustrious President sLould in spite of the apparently favorable progress after all have passed away. Tne news of was by heavy selling of American and the advance in the value of money in New his relapse, attended as securities it The Stock Exchange was closed last Saturday when the news upon the President was received, and by Monday morning the shock bad passed away, especially as the bulle- of the assault British and German account. Other departments likewise improved, especially British Government stocks and mining shares. Generally it may be said there has been an improved feeling throughout the week; and there have been indications in many directions that the public is at leDg h beginning to interest itself on a larger scale thin during the p*at two years.

It is not anticipated however, that any untoward resu'ts either in the stock market or in the ui mey market will result from the deplorable event wnicli has jost occurred, as it is recognized that the United States are in a very prospercondition, that the balance of trade is largely in their ( us favor and that the States are in a very souud economic tins issued MONTH* Bullion. (543 It was intended Thursday of this week; but the applications were so large that the list was For a long time past nearly all Issues clc sed on Taesday. brought out here have more or less failed. Even the Indian Government did not succeed in getting the small amount i* wished to borrow a few months ago; and therefore the success of the New South Wales loan seems to show that the public is once more prepared to invest on a considerable re »le. It is true of course that the Australian governments have been keeping away from the London market for a considerable time, and that therefore the old 11 jating stock has been absorbed. Still, the incident seems to point to a better feeling on the part of investors; and the Treasury bills for a million sterling of the Home Government were also taken on more favorable terms than was expected in the market. The chief causes of the improvement are the ease in the money market, for the time being at all events, the lessened demand for banking accommodation for purely commercial purposes, the small returns now receivable oa deposits with the banks, the impression that the worst of the crisis in Germany is over, the growing belief that the resistance of the Boers is rapidly being worn oat and that pacificttoa will soon be effected, and lastly the hopes of continued peace throughout lhe world raised by the visit of the Czar to France and his meeting with Kiog Edward and the German Emperor. For some time past the best observers have been growing more and more confident that tne situation in Germany was improving. Apparently German capitalists themselves now share in the belief. At ail events tne large purchases for German account of American securities at the beginning of this week prove conclusively that the Geimans are ready to invest abroad on a much larger scale than during the past 12 months. About a year ago, under the pressure that then existed, German holders of American securities sold most of the stocks they possessed, and they have done very little since then. It does not follow of course that the crisis is over. Certainly the slow liquidation will have to go on for some time longer; but all the best observers throughout Europe are now convinced that all serious danger of a o lapse is over. In France there is as little inclination as hitherto to engage in new enterprise; and probably there will not be mnch change in that respect until the forthcoming Russian loan is brought out. The btst informed say that tne loan will not be issued until some time in the course of next year; but nobody doubts that it will be for a very large amount, and that it will be successiul, provided always of course that nothing untoward happens in the meantime. Russia unquestionably needs large accommodation, aiid she cannot ooain it anywhere at present but in France. It would seem that even in /I Russia the crisis is somewhat abating; for mouey is now cheaper than it has been for a year or two. Still, the crisis is far from being over, and there is extreme depression in every industry. British trade has undoubtedly received a check owing to the war, the high prices of commodities, especially coal, and THE CHRONICLE. 644 the large borrowing by tbe Government. Tbo Bjard of Trade returns for August issued at the b Q ginning of the week show this very clearly. Of course in many directions the decreases may be due to purely temporary causet; bat it is hardly possible that the^ can be entirely so. At all events, there is a distinct falling off for August, both in the imports and in the export. Tbe value of the exports for tbe month was €40,9:57,140, a decrease of €1,159,919, equal to 27 per cent; and the value of the British and Irish exports was 1:24,205, 569, a falling off of £'779,054, equal to 31 per cent. In both cases the falling off is largely due to the decline in prices, which is very general, but it is most marked in coal and iron. Nevertheless, there is also a large decrease in tbe quantity of several classes of imports. The most remarkable, perhaps, is in wood. The value of the imports of hewn and eawn wood for the month was t-3,034,000, against £1,012.931 in the corresponding month of last year, a decrease equal to 24"3 per cent. In quantity the falling off was nearly 16-5 Der cent. The decline is mainly due to the lesser ei demand for housebuilding. For many years building has been going en in England and Scotland at a very great ra'e; but there has been of late a marked diminution. In the exports there is a decided decrease both in coal and iron and in other thirgs also, partly due to the fall in prices and partly to the lessened demand for the Continent. Money continues abundant and cheap, and the Bank of England now holds a very large reserve. Money in France is still increasing in amount, and the great French banks continue buying sterling bills and lending freely upon the Stock Exchange. Owing to some apprehend on that gold may be taken in large amounts for New Yoik, the Bank of England has put up its buying price for Eagles; but the im predion is very general that the Bank of France will allow all the gold to be taken which is needed by France for the purchase of food stuffs and that the principal French banks will continue to employ their surplus funds in London. All over the Continent money is very cheap and abundant; and unless, therefore, there should be large shipments to New York, the probability seems to be that it will continue fairiy cheap in London likewise. The India Council continues to pell its drafts fairly well. It offered for tender on Wednesday 35 lacs, and the applicalacs. The total amount ffered was tions exceeded l,l< The following shows the Imports of oereal produoe Into the Kingdom during the first week of the new season compared with previous seasons Tnlted : IMPORTS. about 8 31-32d. per rupee.

Kanawha & Michigan Railway. (Report jor year ended June uO, 1001.) President N. Monsarrat says in substance: The company's operations show a substantial increase as compared with the previous fiscal year. The trailio, especially In the movement of ooal and ooke (many new developments in these Industries having been made within a recent period), has increased to such an extent that It has become absolutely necessary to Improve the condition of the line. With this end in view, the directors, in January, 1901, authorized the expenditure of not exceeding $100,000 for the permanent Improvement of bridges and trestles, for ballasting, heavier steel rails, additional passing sidings, gathering yard at Quinc.v West Va., and for machine shops, the amount to be borrowed ou the company's notes bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, payable semiannually. Up to the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1901, a loan had been contracted for $160,000, as a part of this fund. It is believer! that when these improvements are oompleted their benefit will be reflected In the company's earnings, both gross and net. The new track connection with the (Hooking Valley Railway at Athens has enabled your company to Increase its ooal traffio very considerably. The entire cost of the additional equipment acquired during the fiscal year was charged to operating expenses, through the renewal reserve fund. The total freight traffic in 1900-01 was 1 417,319 tons, against 1,161,013 in 1899-00, bituminous coal supplying 863,127 and 691,823 tons respectively, and lumber and ties 232,713, against 185,133 tons.

A portion of this Is due to the policy put in praotice during the year of making the ooal department bear a fair proportion of the interest oharge on the bonded debt. A gratifying increase In passenger traffio yielded a gain of $39,697 While thetonniige in ooal and ooke (gross), or nearly 3U per cent. was less than in the year before, the revenue, owing to the more stable conditions and better rates, increased $47,932 (gross), or 10 per cent. The coal and coke traffic constituted 79 per oent of the tonnage and produced 55 per cent of the freight revenue. [The amonntof ooal transported in 1900 01 was 1,436,872 tons, against 1,480,688 tons in 1899In new railway 00; ooke, 218, 36 tons, against 315,206 tons]. equipment $120,324 was spent [also for other additions and improvements in railway department $84,436] and for floating equipment $42,872. The company now owns 41 locomotives, 2,325 oars, 3 barges and 2 schooners. For repairs to the track there were used 79,711 cross ties. 19,597 oubio yards of stone ballast and 750 car-loads of cinders.

Coal Department.— The total production of the mines of the oompany (which includes one mine off the line of he load) was 1,544,286 gross tons; total sales, 1,608,397 tons. The company's ovens produced 149,258 tons of ooke; total sales, 183,927 tons. The net profits of the ooal department from all sources were $503,655. During a portion of the flsoal year the coal and coke trad-> was satisfactory, but for a large part of the time it was dull and dispirited. The company could have added considerably to the volume of its business during the year, and especially in ooke, if it had been inclined to renew contracts at prices it considered unsatisfactory. From the profits of the ooal department there were expended during the year for opening new mines, constructing ovens, installing machinery, etc., $147,957, and for additional barges for New England trade $42,872. There was also expended in the nature of new work and charged to operating expenses of the mines the sum of $i7,552. The oompany is now prepared to produce 7,000 tons of ooal and 1,000 tons of coke daily. When tbe new work under way is finished In view of It will inorease the coal capacity to 10, 00 tons per day. the very large amount of coal accessible to the plants now completed, and the Henry Shaft under construction, it will probably not be necessary to make any further expenditures of an extraordinary character for a great many years. The General Manager estimates that the entire mining operations of the oompany now complete and under construction will command a territory of 32,i 00 ucri-M of surface measurement. The veins lying one above the other aggregate 48,6uO acres of coal, and ooutaln 305,150,000 tons, of which 219,600,000 tons are coking coal. The organization of the Davis Coal Coke Co. has been maintained as a medium through which to market the company's produots. Developments at Henry.— Looking to an inorease of the company's business Uejond the ordinary production of Its present mines, it was decided to create another minli g seotlon along the line ot the point ten miles north of Thomat was selected. This field of road. at least 10.000 aores contains 100,0u0,0o0 tons of accessible merchantable coal. An air shaft is being sunk and Is now to the depth of 350 feet. The Thomas or Freepnrt vein of coal was reached at a distance of 221 feet and about 200 feet below that Is the Davis or Kittanning vein. It is expected that this shaft will be finished to the Davis vein by the middle of September, and the main holttlng* shaft & be commenced. traffio.

At that time thi Amalgamated people tried to Induce outside producers to hold to the, name scale. For a time everything went well. But when the outsider* found that they could not sell their product, they made reductions varying from 1 to 3 per cent, below the aimed prices. Meanwhile the Amalgamated Interests began to aocnmulate their copper, asserting that. If they found their ticoumulatlons were too large, they would simply cm tall production.

No official statement is obtainable fully explaining this unexpected action, but Director A. C.

It was considered wiser to reduce the dividend than to reduce the selling price of oopper.

Provision has also been made for pensioning such officers and employes, sixty-one years of age and over, as have become incapacitated. From the income of the year under report the sum of $250,000 has been set apart as a Pension Fund, and the Company has obligated itself to make in each year an appropriation of an amount not exceeding $100,000 in payment of pension allowances for such year.

BETTERMENT FUNDS. That railroad In the Balance Sheet accompanying the Annual Report for the year ended June 30, 1900, there was shown a liability of $700,818 l*i to the Louisville Division Fund, which represented the excess of the sum realized from the sale of Louisville Division S}.^ per cent Bonds over the expenditures which had been made on the Louisville Division up to that time. During the year under report, further expenditures have been made, in the betterment of that division, to the amount of $885,812 *8, leaving at credit of the Louisville Division Fund, §314,501 28. This, with similar balances of §i 54,579 38 remaining at credit of the St. Louis Division Fund and of $1 at that of the Omaha Division Fund, makes up the § >52,936 96 shown in the attached Balance Sheet as due to Betterment Funds. As further expenditures are made in the improvement of these three Divisions, the cost thereof will, from time to time, be charged to these Funds respectively. STANDARDS OF MAIN fENANCE. The high standards of maintenance heretofore adopted have been strictly adhered to, as will be seen by referring to Tables No. 8 and No. 15, which give in detail the expenditures made in each of the past ten years for Maintenance of Way and Structures and for Maintenance of Equipment. MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT. There have been condemned and disposed of during the year 5 locomotives and 1,116 cars. The former have been replaced by an equal Lumber of new engines, having rather more than double the capacity of the old ones. Of the cars, 852 have been replaced by new ones of much greater capacity, and the remaining 264 cars are being replaced by new ones, built at the Company's shops. Their cost has been provided for by charges already made to Maintenance of Equipment. The balance carried forward at credit of the Fund for Renewal of Eagines and Cars is §235,607 05. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT. the Peoria Division there were received 20 light locomotives, 866 freight cars of small capacity, and 21 pissenger In addition to the new engines and freight cars bought or built to replace old ones, 58 heavy new locomotives, 4,632 new freight cars, having an average capacity of fully 40 tons each, were bought, and 35 caboose cars and 5 baggage cars were built at the Company's shops at a cost of $4,182,413 37. The Company now has 891 engines and 39,685 cars of all kinds. In the past year there were added to the equipment 73 engines and 5,579 cars. Notwithstanding these somewhat extreme additions to an already large equipment, there is, and has been for some time, a shortage of cars, and further large expenditures must during the coming year be made in buying the cars and engines needed to move the traffic now in sigat. Contracts to this end have been made. The average capacity of each of the engines to haul on level track is 3,294 tons; and the average carrying capacity of each freight car is 29 43-100 tons. With cars. It was stated in the last by means of a single track. ADDITIONAL SECOND TRACK. Annual Report that the traffic had in several places reached the limit of economic operation During the year under report 89 33 miles of additional second track have been put in operation and a large amount work lias been done in grading and bridging for further additions of this sort. The public service rendered by the Company and the receipts therefrom have again grown in a ratio out of all proportion to the number of miles of railroad added to the system, and this growth has been especially marked on the line connecting Chicago with New Orleans, where the traffic already was the heaviest. Your Directors have, therefore, ordered the completion of the double track from Chicago to Fulton, Kentucky, and the building of a second track from Jackson, Mississippi, southward toward New Orleaus. The outlays during the year under report on new Fecond track amounted to $2,015,067 92, and it is estimated that during the coming year upward of |5 000,000 will be needed for that purpose. There were in operation on June 30, 1901, of second and additional main track 337*50 miles, which is rather less than - of one-twelfth of the number of miles of railroad in operation. INCREASE OF CAPITAL STOCK. As shown above, a sum exceeding the $6,000,000 by which the share capital was increased during the year was therein expended on additional equipment and additional second track, without as yet meeting all the present requirements: the total outlay during the year on Permanent Improvements being §11,307,589 59, of which $3,000,000 were provided by the issue and sale of Litchfield Division Bonis, secured by a mortgage on that Division In accordance with circular letters already mailed to the proprietors, it is proposed to further increase the capital issue of $ 3.200,000 of new stock, for their ratable share of which all stockholders of record on Wednesday, October 30, 1901, are to have the privilege of subscribing at par. The net income of the year ended June 30, 1901, was, as shown above, §6,967,659 75. This exceeds ten and a half per cent (10*56^) upon the present share capital of §66,000,000, and eight and three-quarters per cent (8'80#) upon the $79,200,000 to which your Directors recommend that it be increased. by the THE YAZOO & MISSISSIPPI VALLEY RAILROAD COMPANY.

The mortgage given in 1886 to secure the Second Mortgage Bonds provides that interest is only to be paid on th when it shall be earned and so determined and declared by the Board of Directors, but that such interest shall be cu mulative, and in case less than two and one-half per centum be paid in any half-year, the upaid interest, with interest on such unpaid interest at the rate of five per centum per annum, shall be carried forward to the credit of the bonds for subsequent payment as such net earnings shall suffice for, or at the maturity of the bonds. The Louisville New Orleans & Texas Railway Company permitted the interest on these bonds to accumulate and be compounded until the autumn of 1892, when that Company was merged into the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad Company. Since then in each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896. 1897, 1898, payments, ranging from $198,451 to $50<»,837 per annum, were made on account of interest due thereon. By order of the Board of Directors of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad Company all of the surplus realized in the next two years, amounting in 1899 to $310,9*21 53, and in 1900 to the further sum of $959,299 49, was credited to Profit and Loss, nothing being paid on account m The arrears of The Board of Directors interest due and unpaid upon these bonds amounted on June 30, 1901, to $5,213,522 28. i of the Yazoo Mississippi Valley Railroad Company, having deducted from the earnings of the year under report the sum of $50,000 to establish a Pension Fund, have determined and declared that the remaining $1,016,078 91 shall be paid on September 1, 1901, to the owners of the Second Mortgage Bonds of the Louisville New Orleans Texas Railway Company on account of the interest then due thereon. No in terest has ever been paid on any part of the $10,000,000 ot Land Grant Income Bonds of the Louisville New Orleans Texas Railway Company, nor is such payment secured by any lien upon the railway, or the income therefrom. of interest. & & & CURRENT TAXES. The Taxes accrued during the year amounted to $300,355 96, and were as usual paid for from current income. This consumed nearly five per cent (4*901£) of the Gross Receipts. The reports of the Inter-State Commerce Commission show that in the preceding year, ended June 30. 1900, the Taxes paid by all the railroads in the United States consumed three and a quarter per cent (3'25#) of their Gross Receipts. BACK TAXES IN MISSISSIPPI. the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the judgment of the Supreme Court of Missis1 sults brou g ht at tne instance of Wirt Adams, Revenue Agent of that State, involving back taxes for the years i ooS 1892 to 1899, inclusive. These cases are reported in Volume 180 of the Reports of the Supreme Court of the United States, at pages 1 to 49. The amount paid in these cases, including penalties and costs, aggregated $1,013,541 90, and was On January m 7, 1901, cnargea to Profit and Loss. tB inv ° lvin e back taxes prior to the year 1892 are now pending in the Supreme Court of Mississippi. nf tf" oi taxes, costs and penalties involved in these suits is about $500,000 The amount Septsmbkr 2?, 1901.

TERMINALS IN NEW ORLEANS. foreign commerce of New Orleans, seven blocks of land adjoining the so-called growing the Stuyvesant Docks have been bought, and an ordinance has bi en obtained from the city whereby a continuous wharf may be built in front thereof. This addition to the present facilities will give to the Company the ownership and control of the wharves in front of its property for a distance of nearly a mile (4,900 feet), measured along the river bank. The building on these lands of an additional elevator, capable oi holding 1,500,000 bushels of grain, 'has been begun. The existing brick warehouses, 1.250 feet in length, will before long be extended further on the land recently acquired. Much progress has been made in creating at Earahan, eight miles from the passenger station at New Orleans, a freight terminal yard, which, in its convenience and adaptability to handle an ever-growing traffic, is designed on a scale second to none in this country of which I have knowledge. The Company owns at Harahan 3,929 acres of land, haying a frontage on the Mississippi River of 6,300 feet, and has laid out thereon some 32 miles of tracks on a plan which provides for practically unlimited growth. PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS CHARGED TO CAPITAL. As shown in detail in Abstract " A,'" the total outlay during the year for the foregoing and for other permanent improvements has been $1,502,773 54. Four per cent Gold Improvement Bonds of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad Company have been issued to this amount and sold at par. EQUIPMENT. The Company owns 105 engines, 76 passenger cars and 3,299 freight and work cars. At the close of the year 4 passenger cars and 95 freight cars were out of service. Funds have been provided for replacing them by charges already made against the cost of Maintenance of Equipment. The average capacity of revenue freight cars is 23*48 tons per car. INSURANCE FUND. All losses by fire have, as heretofore, been defrayed from the Insurance Fund, which now amounts to $176,883 33, and has increased during the year bv $24,472 08. demands To meet of the WEIGHT OF RAILS. All rails in the main track and nearly all of those in side tracts are of steel. The average weight of rails in track is 58 46 pounds per yard, the lightest 40 pounds, and the heaviest 75 pounds. main - AUTOMATIC COUPLERS AND AIR BRAKES. The requirements law in respect to automatic couplers and air brakes have been complied with. All cars are equipped with automatic couplers and 54*55 per cent of them with air brakes; this, on a railroad so level and straight as yours, is sufficient to safely handle all trains. of the GENERAL REMARKS. receipts have again been larger than in any preceding year, this for the sixth time in succession. The gross receipts per mile operated were $5,800 18, which is $502 89 per mile more than they were last year and $1,007 19 per mile more than in 1899. In last year's report reference was made to an increase of $270,120 21 in the receipts from Passengers, as affording evidence of the prosperity of the people served by your railroad. It gives me great pleasure to say that during the year under report the receipts from PasseDgers have been further augmented by $277,023 29, an increase of 25"C4 per cent over last year, while the receipts from carrying the Mail have this year grown by 17 09 per cent, and those from Express by 29*12 per cent. From this it may safely be inferred that the people living along the line are steadily growing richer, and that they are diversifying their industries by giving attention to many other things besides the mere cultivation of cotton. While the latter commodity continues to afford a large share of the receipts from freight, the carriage of lumber has, in this and in the preceding year, yielded a somewhat greater revenue. The wealth which still lies dormant in the forests of the State of Mississippi, and the importance of the cities of New Orleans and Memphis as markets for the lumber yet to be produced therefrom, cannot well be over-estimated. Moreover, as these forests are cut down the unsurpassed fertility of the land under them brings it speedily into profitable culture, a condition which does not prevail in many other heavily timbered districts, especially those in the Northern States. The gross PENSION FUND. To provide for the retirement from the service of those who have reached the age of seventy years a scheme of pensions has been adopted, effective July 1, 1901, whereby a monthly allowance is to be made to each person retired, equal to one per cent of his average monthly salary during the ten years preceding retirement, multiplied by the number of years in which he has continuously served the Company. Provision has also been made for pensioning euch officers and employes, sixty one years of age and over, as have become incapacitated. From the income of the year under report the sum of $50,000 has been set apart as a Pension Fund, and the Company has obligated itself to make in each year an appropriation of an amount not exceeding $20, odd in payment of the pension allowances for such year. The thanks of the undersigned are, as ever, due and gladly tendered to the officers and men in every branch of the service, to whose skill and fidelity the results above set forth are so largely due. The attention of the Board is invited to the Report of the Vice President and the accompanying Balance Sheet and Exhibits, and to that of the Second Vice President, which give in greater detail the results of the year's business.

A fair amount of business has been transacted 27, 1901. marJobbers in the ket for wheat flour and on a steady basis of values. have given considerable attention to spriag pitents, both old and new, and the prices paid have been witnin the range of $3 75@3 85 for standard and choice brands. Kansas wheat flour also has had a fair sale in small lot3 at steady values. City mills have been unchanged. Rye flour has continued to meet with a moderate sale at unchanged prices. The demand for corn meal has continued of a hand-to-mouth character, but prices have held steady. Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been quiet and there has b?en a gradual sagging of prices. The statistical developments as reported early in the week were of bearish character. The Russian shipment for the week showed an onns-ually large total and had a depressing influence in both the foreign and local markets. The spriDgwheat movem-nt continued large, and this, too, operated against the market. The foreign markets throughout the week have ruled quiet. One authority in commenting on the foreign situation says that there is a distinct shortage of wheat in Europe, particularly Francs and G-armany. With high-priced corn and shortage of the world's wdeat crop outside of the United States and the Russian uncertainty, it would not be at all unreasonable for requirement on Americaof 300 000,000 bushels. Large cash sales were made early in the week by interior markets, cost, freight and iasurance to Buff *lo, and it was understood to include considerable free st» a^e there, with poisibilifcies of longer free storage at Bufftlo. Business transac ed in the spot markets, exclusive or! the sales above mentioned, has been comparatively qui't, and prices have weakened slightly with futuies. To-day there was a slightly easier market. For eign advices continued tame, and the Northwest receipts were light. The spot market was quiet and easier.

Middle Atlantic States, ami northern portions of the central Gulf States. Excessively heavy and damaging rains occurred In tbe East Onlf and South Atlantic State*. On the Pacific eoast the weather conditions were very f;i> orable, except In northern and portions of centra California, where rains probably caused extensive damage to gram, hay and gripes. Corn.— t,nte corn has been damaged to some extent by heavy frosts in North Dakota and portions of Nebrat-ka. Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, the percentage of damage in the last named State being very small. The crop has als suffered some slight damage on low lands In Indiana and Ohii but the bulk of the orop east or the Mississippi River is matured and safe from injury from frost. Cutting has progressed favorably and is ne^ring o xnpietton In some States blowing. -With but few exceptions plowlrg and fall seeding have progressed favorably, and the reports from the States of he Missouri Valley Indicate that early-sown wheat is coming up nicely. r , The movement of breadstuff s to market as indicated in the statements below is prepared by us from figures collected by the New York Produce Exchange.

New York. Fbiday, P. M., Sept. 27. 1901. The chief features of the market this week have been provided by M C. D. Borden, who early in the week gave notice that on Oct. 1 the wages of operatives in the Fall River Iron Works Mill would be advanced 5 per cent, and who yesterday raised the price of American indigo blue prints J^c. per yard. The first move was a complete surprise to other Fall River manufacturers, but the trade was not altogether unprepared for the second. The situation in Fall River has been unsettled by Mr. Bjrden's action, as operatives in other mills have preferred a demand for a like advance. It does not at the moment seem probable that it will be granted, and labor troubles, it is feared, may result. In other respects the week has been uneventful. The general demand has ruled quiet in all directions, and while it has as a rule been freely met by sellers, there has been no tendency towards weakness apart from cleaning up some odd-and-end lots of fancies. Woolen Goods.— Tne demand for woolen and worsted fabrics lor men's wear has been on a limited scale this week, business beii g interrupted to a considerable extent by Jewish holidays, In any Cdse the demand would hardly have been otherwise than indifferent, as there are no large buyers in the market just now.
