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.

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

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."

creased expenditures upon maintenance account,
which for the late year were decidedly the largest in
the whole history of the company. 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

to $200,000, the stockholders retaining the latter in recognition of equities. This reduced capital is then to be increased

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 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<

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. Tons of freight carried one
mile 153,995,690, against 132,955,260 in 1899-00; average
tons per freight train mile 343, against 346; average amount
received per ton per mile, *475 cents, against 447 cents; gross
earnings per freight train mile, $1 64, against $1 55. Average
receipts per passenger per mile, 2 37 cents, against 239 cents.

President H. G. Davis says:
General Remarks.— The twelve months ending June 30, 1901, was
the first full year of the company in all its present departments, and
no complete comparison can be made with previous years. The net
were $867,572, being $366,443 inexoess of the preceding year.
This increase was largely in the ooal and real estate departments, as
their operations covered only six months of the fiscal year of 1900.
The railway department, however, shows a gain In net profits of
$112,21*4. 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. During the
year 12'9 mileB of 85 pound steel rails were laid in main track, replacing 70-pound rail, making a continuous track for 42 miles from

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

Your oommlttee has finally received a firm bid for all bonds nnder
the control of the committee at 37 per cent of the principal amount
net to bondholders, oonflrmed bv the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York.
Considerably more than a majority of the bonds under our control
have assented to a sale at this price, and we have entered into an
agreement with the purchasers, subject to ratification of the remaining bondholders. As this urioe is more thau bondholders would receive if the property were sold under foreclosure, we strongly recommend its prompt acceptance. It will be necessary for you to execute
promptly, as the judicial sale Is set for Oct. 11, It 01, and this transaction should be closed considerably before that da'e.

Issued in lieu thereof at the request of the company. The managers
reserve the right, however, to cause to be paid off at par and interest
so many of the now outstanding first mortgage bonds as in their judgment can safely be paid by the appropriation of any money iu the company's treasury.
2. The holders of [the $',500,003] general mortgage, bonds shall
waive all interest on their bonds up to Aug. 1. 1901. They shall be
entitled to Interest thereafter, payable on the first days of February

In consideration of such waiver the holders of general mortgage
bonds shall receive the company's deferred debentures for the difference between f> per oent (p*> able by the terms of the bonds) and the
amount of interest aooruing after Aug. 1, 1901, as above provided.
The said deb«ntures shall be payable without interest at such times as
the company may Itself decide, but they sliall become immediately
due and payable in case any dividend is d«c ared upou the oompany's
stock. At the option of tne company the said debentures, when paid,
may be paid either in cash or in general mortgage bonds carrying the
then next maturing Instalment of interest.
Under the foregoing provisions the holder of each $1,000 general
mortgage bond will be entitled to debenture scrip ai follows, viz On
every interest day from Feb. 1, 1902, to Aug. 1, I90rf, both inclusive,
to sorlp for $15; from Feb. 1, 1907, to Aug. 1, 1911, both inclusive, to

3. The slock will not be affected by the proposed readjustment if
carried out without foreclosure, but in order to secure authority to

required as an essentiil prerequisite to carrying out this plan.

much the same, the plan providing for the organiz ition of a

the Gould system into Pittsburg, but the rumors of a further
extension by the
)uld interests to Philadelphia are authoritatively denied. Tueir plan, on the contrary, is said to be "to
reach New York over a railroad which they now have in view."
The 20 year contract of the Western Union Telegraph Co.
(in which the Goulds are largely interested) with the Pennsylvania RR. Co. expired Sapt 20, and in the negotiations for
its renewal it has been rumored the Pennsylvania would seek to
protect itself against any serious results from an invasion of

Copper Co

, whloh controls about half the production of copper In the
United States, made It a policy at the end of la*t year to m .Intaln a
price of 17 cents for lake copper and 16*8 for ele otrolytlo copper. 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. The recent statement that
the Amalgamated [United Selling Co., etc.,] have on hand absut 13
C00.000 pounds of copper is thought to lie about correct. I'hin stock,
while it looks large. Is perhaps do! ho important as some seem to think,
for since prices have been upheld by the Amalgamated Interests, consumers have let their stocks dwindle to almost nothing, thinking that
a decline in price was imminent. Of late there ha* been a better
demand from Euiope.and It in evident that trade is picking up abroad.
But within the last few days, when affairs became disturbed In this
country, the iirlce of standard copper shares In London declined to
£63- a p/lce lower than has been reaohed before In three years.

V

During the fiscal year 190001 the United States exported
only 252,769,328 pounds of copper, as against 333,310,725
pounds the previous year, the decrease representing a money
value of about $14, 511,000. See aleo page 634.

After a careful consideration, the directors deoided that it would be
wise at this time to adopt a conservative policy and to omit the usual
extra dividend of H per cent. It was considered wiser to reduce the
dividend than to reduce the selling price of oopper. The fact that the

a good deal of Influence on our ralnde. The stockholders may rest

DIVIDEND AND INSURANCE FUNDS.
The sum of $42,260, derived from interest on securities in the Surplus Dividend Fund, has been added to that fund,
which now amounts to §1,088,486 92, and is well and safely invested.
The Insurance Fund, after the payment therefrom of all losses by fire, was augmented during the year by $110,478 35,
to $1,325,098 93, which is well and safely invested.

PENSION FUND.
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 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.

To provide

SINKING FUNDS.
The Trustees of the various Sinking Funds report that they hold in the Cairo Bridge Fund $489,768 51, being $48,213 39 more than they held a year ago; in the Sinking Fund for Western Lines Bonds $317,437 55, being |58,274 83 more
than last year; and in a new Sinking Fund for the Omaha Division Bonds $5,072 48. These funds are invested in securities authorized by the several Deeds of Trust under which they were established, and none of these assets appear in the
Balance Sheet herewith submitted.

The additions thus made

TAXES.

The charter of the Company reserved to the State of Illinois, in lieu of taxes, 7 per cent of the gross
706 miles of railroad originally built thereunder. The sum so paid has this year been $815,093, which, if
Z% per cent, would give $23,288,371 as representing the proprietary interest of the State of Illinois in the
Railroad. This is the largest payment ever made to the State in any one year.
Other Taxes bring the sum so paid up to $1,590,114 87. This exceeds the sum paid last year by $98,334

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.

The surplus here shown is stated without the payment of the interest on either the Second Mortgage Bonds or the Land Grant Income
Bonds of the Louisville New Orleans & Texas Railway Company, of whioh $9,104,000 and $10,000,000 are respectively outstanding.
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

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.

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.

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.

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

The Greenbrier & New River Railroad extension, on
the south side to New River, is completed except the laying
of the rails, and should be in operation October st.
Ihe completion of these various lines, also the second
main track under construction at the beginning of the year,
has been seriously delayed by t e unprecedei ted rainfall
during the spring months, causing numerous slides and
washouts both on the main and branch lines, adding

Apportioned to States.

— In view of the near approach of the time of issue of the Census figures of production and acreage of cotton in 1899-1900,
our statement of production by States was intentionally
omitted from the Annual Cotton Crop Report, There have,

Gulf States was smaller than in 1899-1900, there was a marked
increase in the out-turn from Texas, Arkansas and the Terri-

Oats for future delivery at the Western market have been
quiet, but prices have held fairly steady. The movement of
the crop has been on a fairly liberal scale. The distribution,
however, has been sufficiently free to prevent an important
accumulation of supplies in sight ; consequently there has
been no pressure to sell. Locally the epot market has been
moderately active at about steady prices. To-day the market was slightly easier with other grains.

BREADSTUFFS.
Friday, Sept.

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.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
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. They have completed
