P A U L R E P O R T . The annual report of the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul has been awaited with considerable interest, and we think no one will be disappointed with the showing which it makes. It grows somewhat wearisome to have to reiterate with the receipt of each company’s report that the year was one of extremely unfavorable condi tions—that to the general depression in business, which curtailed traffic in all directions, there was added a crop failure of unusual dimensions, whose effects were felt not only in a great falling off in the volume of grain tonnage but also in a falling off in other classes of traffic, owing to the diminished purchasing power of the communities most affected by the shortage. But no review of the year would possess any value which ignored these most important considerations bearing upon and controlling the year’s results. In the case of the St. Paul particularly it is desira ble that sight should not be lost of the unfavorable character of the year, for like all the other roads in the same section it suffered a very noteworthy con traction of its revenues as the result of that fact. We have spoken of the loss in the grain tonnage a s a consequence of the crop failure. Upon that point the traffic statistics of the last three years will repay study. With the St. Paul wheat and not corn is the cereal of greatest importance. But the spring-wheat crop, no less than the corn crop, as will be remembered, w a 3 short last season; and we find by the report that the road’s tonnage in wheat in the late fiscal year was only 735,743 tons, against 940,878 tons in 1893-4 and 1,492,698 tons in 1892 3. Here then there has been a loss in this one item of tonnage in two years of nearly 757,000 tons—the ratio of falling off being over 50 per cent. But in addition there was a falling off in most of the other items of agricultural tonnage. For instance, of barley the road moved only 504,889 tons in 1895 against 516,167 tons in 1894 and 612,465 tons in 1893; of oats, 351,509 tons against 410,020 tons and 464,240 tons respectively; of corn, 174,046 tons against 468,017 tons and 256,107 tons; of flaxseed, 73,943 tons against 116,909 tons and 140,811 tons; of hay, 125,011 tons against 177,482 tons and 158,315 tons, &c., &c. Alto gether the road had only 2,794,746 tons of grain and agricultural tonnage in 1894-5 against 3,482,317 tons in 1893 4 and 4,033,874 tons in 1892 3. In other words, in the two years this class of tonnage fell away roughly l-jf million tons, which shows clearly the effects and great importance of last season’s crop fail ure. In the other items of freight there have been equally marked losses, in part as the result of the crop failure and in part as the result of the general prostration of trade all over the United States. Thus the tonnage in lumber in the late year was only 1,205,396 tons, against 1,953,122 tons in 1893, the tonnage in merchandise 922,532 tons against 1,211,971 tons, the tonnage in miscellaneous articles 684,442 tons against 1,124,011 September 7, 1895.J THE CHRONICLE. & c . Taking the grand aggregate of the freight tonnage of all classes, the total for 1895 is found to have been only 10,475,912 tons, against 10,794,058 tons in 1894 and no less than 13,453,349 tons in 1893. It is worth pointing out that the further loss in 1895 (after the large loss in 1894) followed entirely from the smaller agricultural tonnage ; in the tonnage outside of agricultural products there was a small increase, though this did not extend to all the items. The increase was marked in brick and stone, in iron and steel, in manu factures, in coal, and in miscellaneous forest products, from which it is apparent that the road has not failed to feel the beneficial effects of the general revival in trade which became very marked just before the close of the fiscal year. However, notwithstanding the increase in that way the aggregate freight tonnage, as we have seen, was smaller than in 1894 and almost three million tons less than in 1893. Moreover, the falling off was mainly in the tonnage hauled the long est distances. Taking the freight movement one mile as the measure of the volume of business, we find that in 1895 the number of tons of freight carried one mile was only 1 , 7 6 5 millions, against 2,077 millions in 1894 and 2,506 millions in 1893—that is, as compared with two years ago there has been a contraction of no less than 741 million ton miles. This great loss in traffic, with a coincident decline in the passenger earnings, is reflected in a very striking decrease in the revenues of the company. To say that g r o s s earnings in the late year were about four million dollars less than in the year preceding is to state a fact which seems striking enough. But to understand fully the significance of this large loss we must bear in mind that it is additional to a loss of over 4J million dollars in 1893-4, m that in two years the gross earnings of the company have been reduced in amount of over million dollars, falling from *35,743,423 in 1893 to *27,335,369 in 1895. Nothing could show more clearly than these com parisons how trying to the company and its manage ment the last two years have been. It is almost anperfluous to say that if the property had sot been in thoroughly good condition the company could hardly have averted serious embarrassment as the result of this great shrinkage in its revenues. As it was, the management found it possible to reduce expenses in a very marked way. The exact decrease in g r o s s earn ings in the two years was 18,408,059, and of this *6,669,190 was offset by a saving in expenses, so that the loss in net was reduced to less than two million dollars, the net for 1895 standing at *10,291,016 against $13,080,485 for 1893, Of the saving of 6- mil lion dollars in expenses, somewhat over 3 million dol lars was effected In the lata year, and the decrease is all the more noteworthy in view of the fact that there has been no reduction in the wages paid station and train men. As showing one of the ways in which the saving in expenses was made possible, we may note that the com pany reduced its train mileage from 31,750,418 miles in 1893 to 23,690,828 miles in 1895. The reduction has been very great in ail classes of trains, though in the case of the passenger trains it was not found prac ticable to carry the economy in train service to the same length as in the case of the other trains, since, as we all know, the public expects the game accommoda tions and the same service in bad times as in good times. Under the reduction in train mileage the rev enue per freight train mile wag larger in 1895 than & c ., 393 in either of the two years preceding, being 81-6359 per mile run in 1895, against *1-5834 in 1894 and $1-5701 in 1893. The passenger trains, on the other hand, earned only 75-25 cents in 1895, against 90-32 cents in ' 1894 and 91-51 cents in 1893. With a smaller tonnage and a reduced train service, the expenses for conducting transportation were only $8,348,158 in 1895 against $9,621,027 in 1894 and $11,088,473 in 1893. For maintenance of rolling stock $3,085,309 was spent in 1895, against $2,698,459 in 1894 and $3,814,927 in 1893, and for mainte nance of way and structures $3,703,465 in 1895, against $4,469,838 in 1894 and $5,244,337 in 1893. I t is proper to 3ay with reference to the decrease under these two latter heads that the expenditures in those departments in the year 1893 were exceptionally heavy, making the comparison to that extent an unfair one. The report says that liberal expenditures upon the property in recent years ; the comparative cheapness of rails, ties and other material ; and the reduced volume of traffic, explain the decrease in the maintenance and operating expenses in the year just closed, and that the physical condition of the property is excellent. Especial interest of course attaches to the income account for the twelve months. It appears that not withstanding the loss in gross and net earnings the surplus above charges for the year amounts to *3,796,886. Allowing *1,819,433 for the 7 per cent dividends upon the preferred stock, this would leave $977,453 for the common stock, equal to somewhat over two per cent upon the amount of such stock outstanding. For an extraordinarily bad year, when gross earnings were 8$ million dollars below those of two years ago, that is a remarkably good showing. Incidentally this has a bearing upon the outlook for the future, for obviously with earnings reduced million dollars, there is a cor responding margin fo ra recovery, now that the situa tion has so greatly changed again for the better. It is agreed on all sides that both the harvest of corn and of spring wheat in the St. Paul’s territory the present year will be the largest ever raised. With that fact granted, there can be no doubt that gross earnings in the current fiscal year—barring some now unforeseen occurrence—will show a very decided improvement over the low total of the late year. In some respects the present report of the St. Paul ia as good as any in its history. Its financial condition is certainly exceptionally strong, a fact which is es pecially significant when we bear in mind that the company has passed through two years o f great depres sion. The *1,000,000 of loans and bills payable which existed on June 30 18;>4 were paid off during the year, and the company now has no floating debt in the strict sense of the word. At the same time it holds in its f r m m v y *4,622,770 of unused bonds, while the amount of the cash and accounts receivable stands at *4,849,470 (*2,791,724 being in actual cash), a total of cash and cash assets (not counting *1,743,013 of sup plies and materials on hand) of nearly 9£ million dol lars. Against this the total of the current liabilities June 30 1895, including fcbe large amount of interest falling due the next day, July 1, was only $0,121,546. The equipment of the company has shown some shortage both last year and the year before. But the report contains a fall explanation of this. Altogether the shortage for fcho two years is 573 cars. It is pointed out that the amount necessary for the replace ment of these 572 cars—*260,010—has been charged to operating expenses during the two years, and stands 894 THE CHRONICLE. fV0L. LXI. Vladivostock on May 11, 1891. He had received the rescript from his father March 17 the same year, before setting out on his tour to the countries of the Far East. On his return to Russian soil he carried out his father’s instructions, reading the rescript and turning the first sod. The avowed object of the construction of such a road, according to the rescript, was “ the connecting of the richly-endowed provinces of Siberia with the in ternal net-work of European Russia.” According to one arrangement, the railroad was divided into three sections—from Vladivostock to Cnernivorkee, from the latter to Omsk, aud from Omsk to S '. Peters burg. The central p irt alone is iucomplete. Mr. Ebell gives a much more minute division. The entire line, which, accsrding to him, consists of seven sec tions, is 7,112 versts. Beginning at Vladivostock, the road runs in a northerly direction 382 versts, or about 254 miles, to. Graffskaja, thetme 347 versts to KhaR U S S I A ’S G R E A T R A I L R O A D . baroffka, thence westward 2,000 versts to Scrityinsk, Newspaper readers are not ignorant of the fact that thence 1,009 versts to Mysorvsk, thence 202 versts to the Russian Government has for some yeais been en Irkutsk, from Irkutsk 1,794 versts to Oby, on the gaged in the construction of the greatest railroad in ihe river of that name, and from Oby 1,328 versts to Chalworld—a railroad twice as long as the Canadian Pacific. iabinsk, where it connects with the European system. We have twice before written with reference to its prog The branch lines are numerous; and some of them ress. I t is not the less true, however, that this im are long. mense work has not received the attention to which it Mr. Ebell does not tell us how much of the road has from the first been entitled. This comparative is in working order. We know, however, from other sources, that before the close of last year 122 neglect is to be attributed to various causes.

Owing to the inability to obtain reasonable rates of insurance, the company two years ago organized an in surance department of its own. It appears that this has proved very successful. The company began un derwriting its risks on February 11 1893, and from the report it appears that in the period since then the revenue of the insurance department has exceeded its expenses and losses by 1188,808, that the original fund of $300,000 has been increased to $410,000 par value of securities held, and that there is $88,808 cash on hand, against which there are possible claims for un adjusted fire losses not exceeding $10,000. S eptember 7, 1895.' THE CHRONICLE. 39o Denver & Rio Grande in some months of 1893 having fallen off almost 50 per cent) the task of the manage ment was by no means an easy one. But the result has shown that the company could earn its fixed charges even under such extraordinarily adverse circumstances, and it has also shown that while silver-mining is un doubtedly a very important industry in Colorado, the State is not so exclusively dependent upon that one in dustry a3 had been supposed, that the State possesses great recuperative powers, that her people are alive and energetic, and that they have quickly turned to develop the other resources which the State possesses in such abundance, thus retrieving to that extent the loss from the decline in silver. In reviewing the report for 1893-4 a year ago we noted that in that year the company had earned $87,651 in excess of its fixed charges. That was a very re markable result, for as compared with the preceding fiscal year gross earnings had dropped off from $9,317,647 to $6,476,044 and net earnings from $4,035,561 to $2,503,492. In the late fiscal year (we mean the year ending June 30 1895, for which the report ha3 just been issue!) bnsiness again began to improve, and gross earnings were added to iu the sum of $440,797.

Of merchandise the road carried 121,795 tons, against 99,374 tons and 138,329 tons respectively; of lumber 60,668 tons, against 42,315 tons and 88,412 tons, and of coke 119,088 tons, against 90,513 tons and 154,995 tons. The finances of the road are in excellent shape. The $150,000 of loans and bills payable shown in the balance sheet a year ago were paid off during the twelve months, and the report calls attention to the fact that the current liabilities of the company on June 30 1895 were only $1,432,729, against $1,868,874 on June 30 1893, and that the current assets now exceed the current liabilities in the sum of $1,992,670, against an excess of only $1,351,229 in 1893—in brief, that “ during two years of business depression the liabilities of the company have been reduced about $436,000, and the excess of assets has been increased more than $640, 000, although a year ago the value of securities in the treasury and in the Special Renewal Fund were, for prudential reasons, reduced in the accounts to the ex tent of $151,380.” At the end of the fiscal year 1895 the aggregate of unpaid vouchers was only $145,318, against $297,951 in 1894, $462,919 in 1893, $522,332 in 1892 and $927,074 in 1881. This shows a very note worthy change during the four years, and it also shows, as the report well says, that the company is now in the position of paying promptly each month the bills for labor and material incurred during the month preced ing. The management during the year have written down the book value of the equipment $1,000,000, which is additional to a reduction of $895,871 two years ago. A t the same time it should be understood that the equipment has not been allowed to deteriorate, but that the step taken is in continuation of the conserva tive policy in that particular entered upon in 1893. A portion of the company’s equipment is narrow gauge, and the board of directors think that the growth of population and the demands of traffic may at some future time necessitate changing portions of the narrow gauge lines to standard gauge, and that in that event more or less of the narrow-gauge rolling stock may be thrown into disuse; so they are making early preparations for the change. The reduction in the value of the equip ment has of course been charged to general profit and loss account, but even after charging off this large amount the credit balance to that account still stands at $2,130,194. And substantially the whole of this is represented by cash assets in the company’s treasury, for we have seen that the current assets exceed the current liabilities in amount of $1,992,671. Summing up, we may say that the results throughout reflect great credit upon the management of the prop erty. When the crisis in the silver industry occurred, they were confronted by a very trying situation. But they foresaw what the effects would be and promptly prepared for the change. They stopped the payment of dividends and curtailed expenses in every direction where this could be done without impairing the effi ciency or safety of the road. As a consequence, the company has been able to meet all its charges notwith standing an enormouB contraction in its business, and at the same time to still further improve its financial vondition. The result is that now that Colorado is letrievirg its loss in silver by development in other directions and that a general revival of business all over [Von.

As an additional encouraging feature it is well to observethat the late year has been distinguished also by the settling up of some quite important matters, among others the effecting of a reorganization of the Rio Grande Southern, in which the Denver Company is so largely interested, and the adjustment of the difficul ties between the Denver and the Union Pacific Denver & Gulf regarding the joint use of the track south of: Pueblo. N EW YO RK ONTARIO & W ESTE R N A N N U A L STA TEM EN T. Among the smaller roads, none issues a clearer and fuller annual report than the New York Ontario & Western. Its books and accounts are regularly audited, too, by a well-known firm of public accountants elected by the stockholders at their annual meeting. This is in conformity with the practice in England of having an independent audit, and the managers of the com pany take great pride in this feature of the company’s affairs. Since the building of the Scranton Extension the road has developed a large traffic in anthracite coal, and each year it becomes more apparent that the con struction of that extension was a wise move. Every one is familiar with the fact that the last twelve or eighteen months have been a very unsatisfactory period in the anthracite trade, yet the company in the late year had a larger coal tonnage than in any previousyear. The figures are worth giving. In the year 1891... the coal tonnage wa3 811,485 tons ; in 1892 there was an increase to 1,120,416 tons, in 1893 an inorease to 1,352,225 tons, in 1894 an increase to 1,642,063 tons and in 1895 an increase to 1,715,991 tons. Tne u n satisfactory condition of the trade, however, is reflected in a falling off in the revenues derived from the trans portation of this coal. Between 1891 and 1894 the gross earnings from coal incriased from $782,218 to $1,753,874; in 1895 there was a decrease to $1,581,227. In developing this coal traffic it has been the policy of the management to create as far as possible new mar kets instead of sending the coal all to New York which is a poor market. One direction in which quite a respectable traffic has been built up is in the coal movement to Oswego for shipment to Canada and the West via the Lakes. The report the present year is issued several weeks earlier than in previous years, owing to the desire of the management to comply with the suggestion of the New York Stock Exchange that reports of railway companies should be issued well in advance of the stockholders’ annual meetings. Since the opening of its line to the coal fields, the company has been able to show each year a large surplus of earnings above the fixed charges; for the late year, under the depression in general business and the unsatisfactory condition of the anthracite trade, with the resulting loss in earnings, . the surplus was somewhat less than in the year pre ceding, but was nevertheless large, amounting to $326,383. In brief, the company had net income of $1,026,701, while the charges were only $700,318. The record of the road’s growth is interesting, and we give below a summary covering the last nine years. I t will be observed that prior to 1890 the annual surplus aver aged but little over $60,000 per year, as against a sur plus now of from $300,000 to $400,000. 397 THE CHRONICLE.

U n ite d S t a t e s . —Tlie outcome of the cotton-manufac turing industry, taken as a whole, has averaged fairly well during the year ending with the first of the current month. To be sure, Stocks cf goods had accumulated when the new year opened, and for the first few weeks labor was disorgan ized, But these matters were soon adjusted, and since then, though prices of products have been low, the raw materia! also has been low, and the result has been a narrow but favorable margin. Those conditions are true when speaking of the entire year and in a general way. At the same time it is a fact that conspicuous contrasts mark the twelve months. Compare the situation September 1 1891 with September i 1895. At the former date man agers were extremely cautious in their movements, and they l had good reason to be. They had passed through a very trying year (1898-94), a year ever memorable for a period of almost eompb-te stop page of industries. Resumption of work in nearly every trade had already made and then making monthly progress, but as yet the revival was Very far from general and the expansion elo v. Cotton spindles had begun to move again, and the movement among spinners w is more | extended than in many department* of business; it had not j then reached full activity, and yet stocks of goods, as already -aid, had become troublesome. Moreover, a new tariff was just going into operation, and the effect of the changes in duties was still to be tested. Inasmuch as the managers of cotton mills are as a rule believers in protection and favored the old law, they naturally took an unfavorable view of the influ ence of the new revision on their industry. Led by these conditions, there was quite a general effort made a year ago in Augu-t and September to lower wages. Our readers remember the strikes that proposal caused in Fall River, New Bedford and elsewhere. The strike at New Bedford ended on the 11th of October after continuing for eight weeks, the men returning to work at the reduced wage scale. At Fail River, however, operations were not fully resumed until the close of October, the lock-out being terminated by the men accepting the propreif ion of lire owners ; thus it happened that from August 20 to October 30 the greater portion of the spindles in tfce Fail River mills was idle. This reduction in wages, how ever, and the declining price of the raw material, with a somewhat less rapid decline in goods, put and kept the trade in a profitable shape during the early half of the crop season. Since the first of March there has been a material change in business conditions. As our readers well know, February was the occasion of the memorable Government bond sale, a transaction which reconstructed the industrial situation. Beginning with that event the progress towards the resump tion of work, of wages and of restored prosperity has been rapid. In April current business bad so much improved that many managers were able to redeem their promise and resume the payment of the old wages. Those that did not restore them in that month did so soon after. Now nearly every department of manufacture is paying more money to 398 THE CHRONICLE. [V o l . L x r .

Turning next to that interesting branch of our subject, cotton-manufacturing in the South, we find results which are certainly gratifying. It seems that the production of go ids, which lagged somewhat at the opening of the season, was soon after being prosecuted under full pressure, and since the beginning of January all the mills have been running at their full capacity, and in many cases night and day. It is need less to say that the year has been a more profitable oue than that immediately preceding it, and that the outlook for the future is generally considered to be very bright. This con dition of things has had the effect of greatly stimulating the building of new mills and the enlargement of existing factories. We have continued this year the work of gathering full in formation with regard to the development and operation of Southern factories during the season—an annual census which we began nearly a decade ago. Within the past month not only have we procured from each milt returns as to the actual con sumption of cotton in bales and pounds and the number of spindles and looms added, working and idle during the twelve m mtbs, but also considerable inform ition with regard to new nulla now in course of construction and the further additions to existing p ants in contemplation. The returns made to us have b-en ex remely pr-imot and complete, so that we can to day give the actual condition in these particulars of almost every factory in the South, The aggregates of our dtgatkd returns arranged bv States are as follows it should be re membered that the* • figures include (1) mills in operation afl th a year; (8) new mills started up during the course of the year; and (3) also a few mills which hsve been in op*-rat on this year but have stopped temporarily and expect to start up agam >n 1895-96, Matt*.

We refer to the exports of cotton goods, a department which, although being well cultivated, does not show such exp union as has been expected. Notwithstanding the efforts put forth to gain a footing in foreign markets, tbs movement from this countrykeeps extremely small. The current year’s shipments have been slightly less than in 1893-94, but this falling off is due entirely to the smaller takings by China. Tbe total exports to other countries record a fair increase, South America in particular having absorbed an enlarged quantity of our cotton manufactures. The table below does not include cotton goods exported to China via Vancouver, which also reached a less important aggregate than in either of the two preceding fiscal years. For the fiscal year 1893 these shipments were 31,230 package s, containing 13.398,000 yards, against 30,309 packages or 20,589,000 yards in 1893 94, 23,686 packages or 18,395,800 yards in 1892-98, and 13,465 packages or 12,592,400 yards in 1891-93, It is so well understood that the main cause for the falling off in this movement to China has been the late war between that country and Japan that any r.ference thereto seems unnecessary. In i he table below we merely give—as stated above—the aggregate exports as reported by the Bureau of Statistics, and they record a loss the past year of 8556,373. By referring, however, t o the detailed statement p u b l i s h e d i n tie C h r o n i c l e of Aug, 17. page 289, we find that the exports to China de crease*] 17,067,517 yards, or nearly 84 per cent, during the season, but that as a rule other countries took a greater quan tity of our manufactures than in the previous year.

Evidence of this is found in the continued large export movement. We have referred to that feature in this summarv for previous months. The December exports were not quite as large as the-*? for October and November, but were larger than for the frame month of cither of the previous four rears. India and China took leas, but ihis loss was more than made good in the movement to other points. Further proof of the active distribution of goods is -hown by the large purchases of cotton and the increased consumption, though prices of the manu factured articles were unremunerative, Notwithstanding there facts the goods trade showed no real life; there was no anxiety for business among buyers except upon their own terms, under these circumstances it is hardly necessary to 402 THE CHRONICLE. , V ol .

At the same time this year’s overland is only sixty-seven thousand bales more than in 1891-92, although the crop of that year was eight hundred and fifty-four thou sand bales less than in the current year. But it will be noticed that in the last twenty years—since 1875-76— the rail movement has increased nearly 165 per cent, against a gain in total yield for the like period of about 112 per cent. The various routes have shared in the above noted increase of six hundred and thirteen thousand bales in widely varying degree. Through St. Louis, Louisville and Cairo the movement has enlarged to the extent of about 50 per cent in each case, and the gain via Cincinnati reaches 65 per cent. On the other hand, the routes via Evansville, which last year lost nearly half of their cotton traffic, show this year a further consider able decline. The movement via Hannibal has fallen to very meagre proportions. There has been a marked increase in total carried over “ other routes,” due in large part to the opening up of new lines or connections. The changes in yield in the various sections are reflected in large measure by the marketing through the outports. In the season just closed almost every district in the cotton belt produced more cotton than in the preceding year, but the in crease was much greater in some cases than in others. In Texas the gain was very heavy, a fact that is fully confirmed by the receipts at Galveston, &c. More cotton was raised in the Mississippi Valley than in 1893-94, and as a result the movement through New Orleans exhibits an appreciable ex pansion. In the Atlantic States the yield if it has increased at all has increased only moderately. The variations that have occurred in the last ten years are shown in the subjoined statement, v 02-97 11-85 05*95 15-32 00-59 03-43 24-00 12-23 04-45 © C5 CD g 02-33 10-42 04-50 15-24 00-52 03-37 26-99 12-03 04-95 03*13 14*05 05-76 13-71 00-49 03*09 24-47 10-22 05-07 11-69 10-90 12*79 13-27 12-21 12*14 12-99 13-86 12-21 12-42 8*63 09-61 10-92 7*54 7-00 7-51 7-02 6-31 0-13 05-19 T o t.

At the same time the entire g ro s s overland reaches a market by some all-rail route; hence in measuring the total overland we can do so correctly only by using the g r o s s figures.

S e c o n d -O f deducting from gross overland all cotton shipped by rail from Southern outports to the North, [V ol . LXI, 2 h i r d —O i deducting also from overland any amounts taken from Southern outports for Southern consumption. F o u r th —Of deducting likewise arrivals by railroads at New York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia, all of which have been counted in the receipts from week to week during the year. With these explanations nothing further is needed to make plain the following statement of the movement overland for the year ending September 1, 1895 : 1 8 9 4 -9 5 .

Special difficulty besets an investigation with reference to the outcome of the grow ing crop because of the backward ness of the plant. There is of ciu rse no doubt that the area the current sea*on is appreciably l«ss than in 1894 and that fact alone warrants the conclusion that the yield w ill be materially less, especially as the last crop was a very full one on the acreage planted. furtherm ore, advices from the different sections of the S iuth indicate that taking the cotton belt as a whole the condition of the plant at this tim e is not so satisfactory as it was a year ago. A t no tim e since growth began has the g neral outlook been considered as good as last season, and within the p u t five or six weeks there has been some depreciation in alm ost every State. In Texas lack of rain has brought about a low ering of condition, and in some other sections o f the South an exc,its of rain has oper ated in the sam e direction. A nalyzing our advices from the various States the present promise would seem to bo best in Georgia and least encour aging in Texas. Georgia did not make a full crop last year and may possibly produce as inuoh cotton this year as it did then if future conditions prove favorahle. But as at present advised w e cannot say the same o f any other State. In fact our latest advices denote that since the first of September the situation has beeD grow ing worse nearly everywhere.

The road is laid with 60-pound rails and is said to be in good physical condition. For the year ending June 30, 1895. the net earnings were $228,595, against fixed charges of $185,000 on $3,700,000 bonds outstanding. The connection with the Southern Railway, it is thought, will largely add to the earnings of the company.

Northern Pacific.—The petition of the Northern Pacific Company by Brayton Ives, its President, filed some weeks ago in the United States Circuit Court at Washington, asking that the <rd-r appointing Messrs. Oakes, Payne and R>u-e receivers be vacated and set aside, came on for preliminary hearing before Judges Gilbert and Hinford at Seattle on August 22. The preliminary argument was confined solely to the question whether the Court should entertain the petition at all. No argument was had on the merits of the case and the receivers did not undertake to answer the charges against them. On Monday, tbe 2d inst., a d cision was handed down by Judges HaDford and Gilbert to the effect that the United Slates Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin had jurisdiction of the bill for tne foreclosure of the mortgage, and that the appointment of the receivers by Judge Jenkins was perfectly regular at d valid. The Court also sustains the validity of all the receivers’ acts, and declares the issue of receivers’ certificates valid. The con tention of the receivers’ counsel that the Wisconsin Court was the Court of primary jurisdiction, and that the motion for the removal of the receivers should De remitted on that account to that Court for decision, is, however, overruled. Tne Court holds that as no part of tbe railroad is now in the Eastern Dis trict of Wisconsin the rule of comity doos not require it to send all matters to that Court. Judges Gilbert and Hanford con clude, therefore, to retain Mr. IvrS’s petition, and have required the receivers to answer the charges within thirty days.

To the Stockholders o f the Denver & R io G rande R a ilro a d Company: The income of your Company from all sources during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1895, including 814,690 00 received for interest, was 88,931,440 56, an increase of $445,096 98 compared with the previous year. The gr<5ss earnings from the operation of the railroad were $6,916,840 56. being an in crease of $140,796 98. The working expenses were $3,991,21191, an ficrease of $18,660 74: making the net earnings from traffic $2,925,688 65, being $432,136 24 more than for the previous year. The increase in earnings was 6-81 per cent, in expenses 0 47 per cent and in net earnings 16-86 per cant. The net earnings afforded a surplus of $721,699 35 after pro Tiding for interest on funded debt, taxes, insurance and all other charges against income. For detailed information, yon are referred to the tables and statistics prepared by the Comp troller and t h e A u d i t o r , and s u b m i t t e d h e r e w i t h f o r y o u r in formation. Current liabilities were reduced during the year from $t,735,963 33 to $1,433,729 40. and on June 30 vonr current assets exceeded your current liabilities $1,992,670 87, which shows a gratifying improvement when compared with the excess of $1,470,104 79 on June 30, 1894 On June 30,1893, when the great financial and industrial crisis came up m us, the current liabilities of your Company were $1,888,873 89 and the excess of current assets was $1,3.51,239 31. Your Directors, therefore, call attention to the fact that during tw »years of business depression the liabili ties of your Company have been reduced about $436-000 and the excess of assets has been increased more than $849,00o 00, although a year ago the ts Iu s of securities to the treasury and in the Spx-ial R-newal Fund were, for pruden tial reasons, reduced in the account* to the extent of $151,379 74, Your Company has in its treasury bond* and stock* aggre gating at par $5,562,750 00. appearing on the books at $1,673,559 10, and in addition it h is in itf Special Renewal Fund cash and securities aggregating at pxr $588,911 71, carried on the bo ks at $131,975 38, the total of ail being at par $0,149.691 71 and on th* books $ 3 !27,125 48, In the report submitted for the year end'd June 36, 1633, your Directors stated that th * value of equipment had been written down $895,879 78 and General Profit and Lo*s Aco u n t had been charged with that amount. It was then stated that it wa* prudent to stilt further reduo* the book value of equipment, but your Directors refrained from acting upon th >matter a year ago. I t i* now deemed wise to pursue this policy in making up the accounts for rh i year th it has just cloned, and $ 1,000.000 Do ha< therefore been taken from the value of F.q ii<> nent and charged to General Profit and Lost Account. The accounts of your Company show, after doing this, a bdance to 5 edit of Profit and Low of 12,130.193 67, being $137,713 u*i more than the excess of current assets over current liabilities If allowance is made for the reduction a year ago in the book value of —<::umu> >, it will be »-«n that your Company baa substantially an exivw of current assets over current ItabHllt-** about equal on a r. mswvative valuation to the amcm t at credit of Profit and Loss. Four years ago the exctm o f c u rre n t liab ilities over current assets was about $ 129.0 m 00. tS*e Fifth Annual Retort.) To guard against the possibility of the im *re**«ion being en tertained that the equipment ha* be**n allowed to deteriorate, and that the reduction in its book value has been made for this reason, your directors de“«n it well to state that on Jane 80, owing to continued light traffic, ninety-four engine* were out of service, of which hu mber sixty nine were in first-claw condition, having head repaired before being laid up During the last five years the amount of unpaid vouchers at the end of each fiscal year was as follows: 1 4 9 1 ................................... .................................................$ 9 2 7 ,0 7 4 04 1 « 9 J ................ ................. ................................................ 8 1 2 ,3 8 4 3 1 1 4 9 3 . . . ................. ..................................... ...................... *42.91 » 4 « 1 8 9 4 .................... ........................................ 897.0511# 1 4 9 5 ........................................................................ 1 4 5 ,3 1 7 MB which shows that your company is now in the posH m of paying promptly each month the bills for labor and material incurred during the month preceding. T m d image done to the property of the company by the disastrous floods of June. 1894 adverted to in the last Annul! Raport. ha# been repaired a t an expense of $96,679 36 all of which was charged to Operation Ac-; unt, and two-thirds of which was expended during th* fiscal year that has just closed. In additio t to these extraordinary expenses, two wo>den bridges were replaced with iron structures resting upon stone ins* mry: one of them on the Third Division over the Cimarron River has a span of 129 feet, with iron girder approaches 186 feet long, and the oth-rover the Animas River on the Silverton Branch has a span 120 feet long, The cost of this work was also charged to Op-ration Account. In view of these expenditure* it was deemed prudent to limit the rail renewals during the year, and therefore but 1,095 tons of 75pouod steel rails were laid. These were priced In your stan dard gauge main line, replacing 52-pound steel, which was 421 transferred to other portions of the System, AH expenses in c id e n t to laying the new rails, including their excess weight over the rails they replaced, were charged to Operation Ac count. Your standard gauge main line now has but twentyfive miles of 53-pou-id steel rail track, and contracts have bean made for the early delivery of sufficient 75-pound rail to replace it. In view of the business depression of the last two years it may be will to submit for your information the number of cross-ties used annually for four years, so that it may be seen that the economical administration of your affairs has not re duced tie renewals to much less than normal requirements. For the fiscal year ended June 80. 1892, during which period a number of narrow-gauge ties in standard-gauge track were replaced with stand ird-gauga ties, 637,740 cross-ties were used; for June 80, 1S93, 381,960; for June 30, 1394, 397,918, and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1895, 446,517 cross ties were used. Daring the four years specified 1,864,135 ties were placed in track, being an average of about 466,000 per year. The earnings of your Company upon traffic to and from the Rio Grande Southern Railroad during the fiscal year were $334 377 51 against $289,133 84 for the year ended June 80, 1891, and $517,455 81 for June 30, 1893. The gross earn ings of the Rio Grande Southern for the las' fiscal year were $402,798 It and for the pr*ceding year §829,550 69, being an increase of $73,217 43, or 22-28 per cent. The road consists of 161 miles of main line and 18 miles of branches between the City of Durango and Ridgway Station on your Garay Branch, thus connecting in Southwestern Colorado the Third and Fourth Divisions of your System. In their last Annual Report your Directors stated that owing to adverse burines* conditions and the resulting in ability of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad Comp mv to meet it* obligations your Prerid nt was appointed R-ceiver for the properly. In view of the ownership by your Company of a large number of jiio Grande Southern First Mortgage Bonds and of the eloe* traffic relations with that Company, it was thought best, after careful consideration of the subject by your Board, to tend to a moderate extent the credit of your Comp my to the Rio Grande Southern, to enable the Receiver to negotiate with all parties in interest a settlement of the Rio Grande Southern fl rating indebtedness, with a view to taking the property out of the hands of the Court in the near future. An arrangement was therefore made and approved by the Court, whereby your Company advanced to the Rio Grande Southern $169,839 16, and endorsed that Company’s notes to the amount of $578,498 3-7, said notes being for one, two and threeyear* la equal amounts, with interest at the rate of 6 per cent p r annum to the secured and 4 p-r cent to the unse cured creditors, lo consideration of this the Southern Com pany assigned to your Company $671,000 09 of its First Mortgage Bonds, wljich were held as collateral by the secured creditors and $197,000 00 of which were delivered to your Company when the cash advance hereinabove ref-reed to was made. The real-under of the bonds will be surrendered from time to time as the note* mature. The general plan of settle ment required in addition to th - above the transfer to your Company, free of cost, by the Rio Grande Southern stock holder*. of one-half the capital stock of their Company, which is §1,510,090 00, and by the bondholders the cancellation of all unpaid coupon*, u >to and including January 1, 1895, and the scaling dawn of the interest on the h ind* front 5 per cent per annum to 3 per cent p »r annum for three years from the first of January, 1897. ana 4 p r cent thereafter during the life of the bonds. The transfer of the stock ha* been made and your Company lias placed in the hands of a Trustee selected by it a majority of the capital stock of the Rio Grande Sou-hern Company! Nearly all the bondholders have assented to the arrangement, anil at the date of this report there are but $24,000 00 unasoented bonds out of a total of $4,510,000 00. Your Company nowowoa a majority of both bonds and stock, and baa been receiving upon the ?orm"r3 per cent per annum since January 1, 13J5 The coupons of the Southern Com pany, due July 1, were promptly paid by the K •eeiver under sanction of the Court. The contract of settlement also pro vide* that for three years your company shall have any sur plus there may be from the earnings of the S outhern Compm yaiier paying interest on its funded debt,taxes,insurance and similar legitimate charges against; I-icome. Some time ago i t « as learned that the o wner* of th? Santa Fe Southern Railroad, which extends from Espanoli to Santa Fe, the capitol of the Territory of Ne w Mexico, a distance of about 38 mile*, were desirous of disposing of their property. As this piece of road ia the only connection to and from Santa Fe for your Eipanola Brauch it was thought be3t to control it if practicable to do so at a reaaonabl • cost. Steps have there fore been taken with this end in view and the Rio Grande & Santa Fe Railroad Company has been incorporated in New Mexico for the purpo=e. As the details of the matter are still unsettled, your Directors cannot state them definitely at this rime. The transaction will involve but a small cash outlay. Nearly the entire cost of the road will be paid for wfifi securi ties on hand and in lieu of which those of the Rio Grande & Sinta Fe Company will be placed in the treasury of your Company. In 1877 your Company entered into contract relations with the Denver Texas & Gulf Railroad C impany, 'he Fort Wurth & Denver City Railway Company and the Dmvar Texas & Fort Worth Railroad Company, these three eompanie* bring subsequently known as the Uaion FaciAc Dourer & Gulf 422 THE CHRONICLE. fliui '-vmy Company. By tlie terms of the contract joint use ot ab ui Hr} miles of your railway south of Pueblo was ac corded, a 'd hull the traffic of the j >int track was guaran tied to the coinoanies liam-d. Notice of termination or the c -ntract was ifivpn by the Receiver of the uaioti Facihe Demer & Gulf Railway under authority of the Court and steps were taken to build an independent line. After pro tracted negotiations an arrangement was finally agreed upon whereby during the life of the receivership of the union Pacific'Deliver & Gulf Railway about fifty-eight miles ot your line from Walsenhurg to Pueblo will continue to be used jointly on terms approximating per mile, annually, the amount that was paid under the original contract, lhe suc cessor company to the Receiver will have the right to con tinue the new contract for a period of ten years after the expiration of the receivership if it desires to do so. The opinion expressed by your Directors a year ago that there were evidences of improvement in businestand that they would be able to submit to you more satisfactory results in future has been verified. The general strike of July, 1894 lessened to some extent the earnings of your System, but the effect of tfie labor troubles was very much modified by the loyalty of your employees generally, to whom and to the offi cers of the Company your Direciors make their greatful ac knowledgments, B r order of the Board of Directors, E, T.

Pearso of London were elicted by the remaining trustees as thei successors. The tiustees, under the act in question, therefore represet and have always acted as trustees of the holders of commo slock, and have continued for ten years past to elect directo: solely in the interest of such common stock holders. Had the preferred shares as exchanged for bonds been cat celed and the voting power on the exchanged sto k not bee kept alive in the way provided by the L"gislature, the ownet of a small mn ority of preferred shares outstanding might sti have continued to control the management of the Company by electing eight of the thirteen directors. The present position, therefore, is that the voting now< wdl continue until, 1. All preferred stock outstanding is exchanged for bond [VOL. LSI. 2 Until such time as a dividend on the common stock shal be earned and paid. All of the preferred stock, with the exception of -ixty shares, has been exenanged for bonds, under the act recit'd, and for these sixty shares, 88,000 of b mds were dep isited hv the rail way company with the Farmers’ L >an & Trust Company, for exchange, whenever the shares should be presented, an 1 since that time the redemption price of the bonds, with accrued in terest, has been paid in to the trustees, suojeot to the orders of the owners of the stock. The transfer agent and officers of the company have en deavored to trace outstanding shares, and the numb r has been gradually reduced to the am out nam-d; part of this amount is represented by fracti in*l re teip's issued for re ceiver,-.’ certificates, and many of these are likely to have been mislaid or des royed. It is quite prooable that the entire amount never can be brought in The alternative, and apparently most desirable method for disposing of the trust would be by the declaration and p iyment of a dividend upon the company’s common stock Tnis proposal has, as stated, been presented to the represontatives of a large majority of common stock held abroad, as well as to representatives of large interests at home ; and after due dt-liberation they have advised that the voting trust as at present constituted was in no way detrimental to the company or objectionable to its stockholders generally, but, on the other hand, was, for the present, to some extent, a safeguard and protection to the owners rf the company’s bonds, as well as to the large majority of shareowners at home and abroad. The conclusions arrived at are embodied in the following statement, prep ired at an informal confer ence, held last March, in the offi -e of the Englt-h Ass >eiation of American Bond and Shareholders, No. 5 G eat Winchester Street, London, E. C. “ More than half of the shares of the company are owned abroad. Stockholders abroad are quite uuco icer.wd about the voting trust and are indifferent ii regard to termioaiing it. It is looked upon as a trus , originally created for the bene fit of the common stockholders and continued f"r their pro tection. The question of paying dividends should rest wholly with the Board and the financial ability of the company to continue the payment of dividends is the only basis which would justify the company in declaring one The proposi tion to pay a small dividend with the sole object 0f termi nating a voting trust, which verv few shareholders ooject to, is looked up m as misleading and inexpedt- d Yi ur directors a ‘d officers are, however, uesiroua of ending the trust at the earliest moment practicable, and as soon as the financial condition and surplus earnings of the cotmany justify, in their judgment, the payment a-d continuation of an annual dividend on the common stook, the same will be declar d without hesitation or unnecessary delay. It must be conceded that the voting power has in no way been abused; nor has it bpen detrimental to'he interests of the 8tockh lders, who for the last ten years have continued to loyally support the present management. Within the period nam d the earnings and traffic have b 'en materially increased. Gross earnings from $1,688,093 95 in 1887 to $3,669,113 18 in 1895, or 117’35 per cent. Net earnings from $320,449 19 to $1,026 700 74. or .20'39 per cent, and sur plus earnings from $66,697 75 to $326,382 81, or 389’35 per cent. In 1887 the number of passengers carried one mile was 28,282 9'7; in 1865, 29,035,710; increase, 266 per cent. The tons of freight moved one mile in 1887 amounted to 63.486,586 tons and in 1895 to 359,358,052 tons; in rease, 466 04 per cent. Within these eight years $11,142,794 51 have been economi cally and judiciously expended upon the property, from sur plus earnings and proceeds of bonds, in the construction of the Scranton extension, additional terminals, new equipment, buildiDg of the Zig Zag Tunnel, improvement of grades and other additions and betterments; while renewals have in cluded the replacement of old iron and light steel rails by heavier steel rails, reconstruction of bridges, and many im provements in other directions, providing enlarged facilities, and securing not only greater safety but decrease in cost of operation. Ail capital expenditures and details of improvements have been fully set forth in the company’s annual reports issued siDce 1888. The credit of the company has also been advanced from a condition in which it was most difficult to sell a six-per-cent, bond at 85 to the present, which finds the company’s four-per cent bonds having a ready sale in the open market at a price considerably above ninety. In view of these results your Board of Directors feel that they are entitled to your confidence, and if such results dur ing the period reviewed have been sitisfactory to the stock and bondh dders, it may with reason be asserted that the trust hae, on the whole, bepn of much advantage to the property and a wise provi-ion for its benefit and security. The position of the company is now comparatively strong, and its future prospects, in the opinion of your Board of Directors, warrants the belief that the trust may be ter minated at no distant day by the declaration of a dividend ; but the directors believe that this qu-stion should be left to them, with the assurance on their part that at the padiest practicable moment they will take such action as will restore to stockholders of record the right to vote directlv for the entire Board. This right exists now in reaii'y, and the inter vention of trustees is merely perfunctory so far as the annual September 7, 1895,1 THE CHRONICLE. election of eight of the thirteen directors is concerned ; but ail v ititis trusts are recognized as objectionable. and this one should, in the opinion of the Board, he terminated when the purpose for which it was originally formed has been hilly saoserved. Trie Board regrets to announce that since the close of the fisc d yeas the company has lost, in the d-ath of Colonel E. K. Sibley, one of its m st efficient and faithful directors Owing to the near approach of the annual election no action has been taken by toe Bturd toward the election o f a succes sor. hut the name of Mr, C. Ledyard Blair, of Messrs. Blair & Ox. New York, will be presented to the stockholders at the approaching meeting for election to the vacancy. The etnph yaea of the company have, as in the past, con tinued fai.hful in the dischatge of their duties, and your di rectors feel that their loyalty to the company should ba ac knowledged in this report.

The speculation in the local market for lard futures was at a standstill, but the close was higher on the more active business in the spot mar ket, closing steady. T T O N . , September 6, 1895, indicated by our telegrams from the South to-night, is given below. For the week ending this evening the total receipts have reached 15,093 bales, against 6,803 bales last week and 2,715 bales the previous week, making the total receipts since the 1st of Sept., 1895, 13,802 bales, against 88,396 bales for the same period of 1894, showing an decrease since Sep.l, 1895, of 24,534 bales. T General business keeps gaining in volume, and in exceptional cases considerable animation has of late been shown. Phen omenally large dealings in refined sugar have taken place dur ing the week, and additional liberal operations are reported in iron a n d metals at advancing prices. Export demand for breads tu ffs has been checked slightly by reports of better prospects for foreign yield. An increasing movement of wheat at the Northwest is reported, but in central latitudes the deliveries are slow and largely absorbed by millers. The corn crop is con sidered nearly out of danger and a large yield practically assured. Cotton continues to attract investing demand, but speculation in other staple commodities is slow and careful.

Fluctuations in price were numerous and acute, but at the full average cost ruling regular opera tors have felt unwilling to infest, and the outside trading public in many cases manifested a disposition to secure profits on previous deals. On Saturday, in consequence of disappointing advices from Liverpool and an effort to sell out considerable “ long” cotton, prices fell away IS -16 joints, closing easy. Monday iLabor Day was observed as a close holiday, Tuesday morning brought strong accounts from abroad and a great many unpropitious crop advices from the South, which together served to stimulate a quick general demand and ran up prices hi J7 points, the buoyancy being particularly noticeable in late options, Wednesday's market was quite irregular, but m the main a weak tone developed, under considerable selling for European account and liquidation by a previou-.lv prominent bull operator, with prices making 11 joints net Iosh, Yester day liquidation of ‘‘long” contracts continued, symptoms of a growing movementat the jort - increasing .the desire to -ell, and there was further loss of 6 -9 points.

Friday, September 6, 1895. It has been a quiet week in the market for wheat flour. Buy ers, owing to a further deeliue in the price of the grain, have been very indifferent operators and values have been weak. For rye flour there has been a quiet market and prices have made a slight further decline. Tne choice grades of corn meal have sold moderately w 11, but at slightly lower prices. To-day the market for wheat flour was dull and easy. There has been little animation to the speculative dealings in the market for wheat futures, and prices have declined under a heavy movement of the spring-wheat crop, dull and depressed foreign advices, slowness of the “cash” de mand and absence of speculative interest. Iu the sp t mar ket business hss been quiet and prices have declined with futures. Yesterday sales were made of No. 1 Northern at %c. over December, f o. b. afloat; No. 1 hard spring at 4c. over Seotember, f. o. b. afloat, and No. 1 Manitoba at 3c. over September, f. o. b. afloat. To-day the market was weaker, in response to easier foreign advices and a continued heavy crop movement at the Northwest. The spot market was dull. The only sale reported was No. 2 hard winter at 61%e. f. o. b afloat; No. 2 red winter was quoted at l% c. over September, f. o. b. afloat. d a il y c l o s in g p r ic e s Sal.
