It thus
becomes plain that the addition to charges
has been far in excess of what would have been
supposed likely, the total of these charges (including
the
of the Wisconsin Central) having risen
from
$12,188,930 to $13,760,417, or considerably
over IJ
million dollari.
It is to be regretted that the
reason
for this heavy addition cannot be
determined from the
above statement. The increase in funded
debt interest
from $6,247,074 to $6,901,956 is not
hard to understand, especially as there is
a coincident decrease in

But it will be ob-
the
argued that owing to the great augmentation in expenses the improvement in net results during the
last few years had not proved commensurate with the
heavy capital outlays incurred during the same period
of time.
These strictures on the management of that
road suggest an examination of the figures of the other
trunk lines, in order to determine whether their record
and experience have been any different. We have on a

811 in gross with an increase of $154,079 in expenses
on the Western lines, we noted that in the case of the
& Ohio the character of the exhibit for July
was much the same, that road repotting a falling off
of $129,194 in gross coincident with an expansion of
$39,453 in its expense accounts.
This week we have
had the Erie return also for July, and it reveals
results which differ in no manner from those disclosed
by the statements of the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio that is, there is a decrease of $33,733 in
gross attended by an increase of $86,164 in expenses,
thus producing a loss of $119,897 in net.
The loss in
gross earnings on all these roads is presumably attributable to the labor troubles which occurred at the
steel mills during the month in question, and hence
we may suppose is merely temporary in nature. The
augmentation in expenses is due to other causes, to
which we shall presently advert.

noting that of the five which show larger net than two
years ago, the Pennsylvania Western lines constitute
one and that the increase on them is heavier in amount
than on any of the others.
The course of gross earnings during the years covered
by this review furnishes notable evidence of the
tendency of trafi&c to grow and expand on these lines.
We start with gross of $117,930,615 in 1889. It is
proper to say that earnings in that year were by no
means poor, the crops of 1888 having been large. The
season of 1889 proiuced still larger crops, and hence
there was a very marked increiso in earnings in the
first half of 1890, the total rising from 1117,920,615 to

The MoneT Market and Financlnl Situation.—The cholera
facta and fancies in Europe and in this country have had some
Among other relittle effect upon the markets this week.
is that of causing the sale of stocks here for foreign account, as usually happens whenever there is any prospect of
calamity abroad, since the easiest way of getting a supply of
gold quickly and at least expense is by selling securities in the
sults
New York
market.
The Texas railroad decision and the New Jersey Chancellor's
decision against the Reading combination in New Jersey have
both been obeyed, and as a result of the latter the Central of
New Jersey has gone back to its own managers. The opinion
of Chancellor McGill goes quite fully into the Port Reading
Railroad question, and holds that the lease of the Central
Road to that company with a guarantee of the lease by
the Philadelphia & Heading was in truth a lease t >
the latter company, and that the New Jersey law forbidding leases to foreign corporations cannot be evaded
by a matter of form in organizing a company und< r
the laws of that State to take the lease and hold
The parties interested in the combination have stated,
it.
howevtr, that the breaking of this lease wUl ha^e no effect
on the practical working of the companies in harmony.
In the meantime the Reading system is broadening greatly,
and new routes for its coal have been opened via the Poughkeepsie Bridge, over the Lehigh Valley road to Buffalo
and by the Lake steamers, and over the Harrisburg connection with the Western Maryland and the Balto. & Ohio roads.
The gold situation and the movement in securities are certainly not very satisfactorv at this late date in the season, and
the depressed condition of affairs abroad and our own silver
inflation must be held chiefly responsible for ihU.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
iStock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2 to 6 per cent,
the average being 3',^ per cent. To-day rates on call were
3 to -t per cent. Commercial paper is quoted at il-i®^i% P- c.
"The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
an increase in bullion of £1.59,000, and the percentage of reserve to Uabilities was 50-6.5, against 50-19 last week; the discount rate remains unchanged at 2 per cent. The Bank of
France shows a decrease of 3,425,000 francs in gold and
700,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing-House banks in their statement of
August 27 showed a decrease in the reserve held of $4,323,70)
and a surplus over the required reserve of |9,887,875, against

State and Railroad Bonds.— Sales of State bonds at the
Board have included only |5,O0OJ Tenn. Settle. 33 at 75Ji;
$1,000 Ala. class
A at
101.
Railroad bonds have been more active on some issues, owing
partly to the same causes that have affected the stock market.
On a few popular bonds also the interest fell due September 1,
and after payment the prices declined more than the amount
of the coupon, when tho whole market weakened; among
these were Atchison incomes and Hocking Valley fives. The
Reading preferred income bonds have declined in company
with the stock, in consequence partly of the New Jersey
decision, and also because the July earnings were less favorable than some had expected. The Louisville St. Louis
Texas bonds have sold freely and close at 96%, a new consolidated mortgage having been authorized, the Ontario
Western refunding 4s have sold well and close at 83. Prices
on the general list of bonds that are usually active have not
weakened much in sympathy with stocks, and there is little
doubt that these securities as a class will be fortified by the
decision in the Texas Railroad Commissioners' suits if that
decision is upheld by tbe U. S. Supreme Court. The railroads
having generally promised to pay gold interest on their bonds
would under this interpretation of law be enabled to make
rates which would permit them to earn and pay such interest in case of a silver currency in the future.

The temperature of the past
STerage, and conditions generally favorable for safe development of unharvested crops. Natural influences affecting
trade have been propitious, but the profjress of business was
seriously retarded by grave apprehensions in regard to the
cholera. The rapid and alarming spread of that disease has
induced our national authorities to declare a twenty-days
quarantine against vessels from all infected ports, and the
conaequont detention of cargoes afloat will, it is feareJ,
result in inconvenience if not loss. The handling of

showing the utmost caution

of cars suited to prompt movement of crops.
Lard on the spot has continued in slow demand and prices
have declined under increased offerings. The close, however,
was fairly st*'af!y at 7-35c. for prime City, 7-85c. for prime

warmer, dispensing with all frost scares, and under a material

a depressing influence upon values. The spot market

Fkidat, September 2, 1892.
The market for flour, sympathizing with a decline in wheat,
has been dull, and values have been weak and here and there
have been lowered to a moderate extent. Meal has also been
in light demand and weak. To-day the market for flour was
dull and heavy. Meal was dull and unchanged.
The speculation in wheat has been moderately active, and
immediately after our last there was an advance, on unfavorable weather conditioas, both at home and abroad, and
stronger foreign advices, but later weather reports from aU
parts became favorable, foreign mirkets turned weaker, the
crop movement continues large, and considerable uneasiness
was shown over the rapid march of cholera westward, all of
which led "longs" to sell, and caused a sharp decline in values. In the spot market tbere has been an active business,
both exporters and millers being good buyers. The sales yesterday included No. 2 red winter at J^§lc. over September
delivered, choice red winter at SlJ^c. delivered, and No. 1
Northern at 84?4c. delivered. To-day the market was a shade
easier under selling by "longs," owing to continued favorable
crop prospects and full crop movement. The spot market has
been fairly active for export. The sales included No. 2 red

Oats have steadily declined under unloading by "longs,'
prompted by a continued good crop movement, and later the
weakness of wheat and corn helped to send prices downward.
The market to-day was lower in sympathy with the decline in
other grains.

better figure than of late. While the general tone of the market
is firm to hardening, there has been rather more evidence in
one or two quarters of production just now being larger than
the demand, and of less stiffness on the part of sellers, This,
however, is but an incidental experience. The jobbing trade
has again been active and large sales are reported for the
week in all leading departments. For the month of August,
which closed Wednesday, the aggregate business in jobbi ng
circles has marked a considerable ad vance on results attained in
August last year, mainly due to the heavy sales of woolen

occasional department has barely held its own, as in the instance of ginghams, which, although doing fairly well now.

Should but one or two cases only be reported in the city it is
apprehended that trade will be seriously affected. As it is,
many buyers have pushed their business daring the past two
days in order to leave town as quickly as possible. There
ought to be a good stream of visiting buyers for some weeks
yet, but cholera in New York would, it is believed, divert it

Mayor Emerson writes as
" The annual report of the City Comptroller shows that the
finances of the city are in a healthy and prosperous condition.
Some of the departments show a decrease in expenditures and
others a small increase. The city debt has been reduced in
the sum of $14,500. The amount of bonds placed in the sinking fund was $6,500, leaving the total city debt $175,800. It
is gratifying to see the indebtedness of the city annually
growing less, thus lightening the burdens of tax-payers year
by year, until la the not far dist-iut future every city bond
