The full details of clearings for the week covered by theabove statement wiU be given next Saturday. We cannot, of•course, furnish them to-day, bank clearing being made up bythe various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and hence in
the above the last twenty-four hours of the week have to bein all cases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
Below are our usual detailed figures for the previous week,covering the returns for the period ending with Saturdaynoon, November 13, with the comparative totals in 1891. TheAJfgregate for the week is two hundred and fifty millions of
dollars less than that for the previous week, the failing off beingdue primarily to the loss of one day's business in consequence•of the ele<;tion holiday, but is also in part a-^cribable to thefact that the total for the week ending November 5 includedthe usual monthly payments of interest, &c. Compared withthe corresponding period of 1891, which covered a full week,there is a loss of 10 9 per cent in the whole country and I'J
per cent outside of New York. Notwithstanding the smallernumber of days covered a number of citit* exhibit gains overlast year, the ratio of excess being noticeable at some Western
pointa, particularly at DeS Moines and Salt Lake City.

Tffi; FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Numerous influences have been at work to disturb
Wall street this week, although so far as there has been
any actual change in our domestic trade conditions
—
those conditions which more directly tend to benefit
railroad earnings and values—they have as a rule been
favorable. To be sure the prices of breadstufEs are all
extremely low, but this year's production added to the
surpluses of last year left over to be marketed, is
large, which in some measure qualifies the disadvantage
of price. Other than that all signs denote progress.
Cotton is higher than it was a year ago, and advancing
instead of declining as then, while the condition of the
ron market, especially of pig iron, has become decidedly
favorable ; these are two extremely important circum-
stances not only contributing materially to, but afford-
ing evidence of, the prosperity of the whole country,
and particularly aiding recovery in the Southern States.
Then, too, in addition to the articles named, it can
also be said that general business is in nearly every part
of the land and in nearly all departments, fairly pros-
perous and in good shape, transactions likewise being
on the increase ; so that taken as a whole our internal
trade certainly promises well.
On the other hand, some unfavorable conclusions
have been drawn from certain features of the election re-
sults. The success of the third party in Kansas has been
construed as likely to lead to legislation hostile to rail-
roads, and this has been used to depress the market
especially for Atchison and Missouri Pacific securities,
each company having so considerable an amount of
road in that State. Later information, however, leaves
the presumption that the Senate is not in the control
of that party, while the Governor- elect in an interview
has encouraged the belief that nothing of an aggressive
character, harmful to vested interests, will be done. It
is well enough to recall the fact, too, that judicial de-
cisions during the two years since the last Kansas Leg-
islature met have somewhat tied the hands of State
and Inter- State railroad commissions; and, further-
more, that the views of Western and Southerncommunities are all the time growing a little
more conservative. We have an evidence of
this latter fact in the election results in
Texas. To be sure Governor Hogg has been re-
elected ; that at first sight seems as bad as bad can be.
But he only received a plurality, not a majirity of the
votes cast, and moreover, though elected, it was solely
because he was able to obtain the nomination of the
dominant party, whereas the followers of Judge Clark,
the conservative candidate, were considered but a bolt-
ing faction. No one need think the fight is over yet.
Principle never surrenders. Judge Clark says, in aninterview published in the Texas papers this week,that he and those who are acting with him intend to
keep it up " for two years, four years, eight years or alife time until sound democratic Government is estab-
lished in Texas." In the meantime Judge McCormick'sdecision rendered last August holds the railroad com-
mission of that State in check, and though new legis-^
lation may avoid or get around that injunction, it must-
conform to the principles of the decision or it will only
invite still another injunction. Perhaps, however.
Governor Hogg has become wiser than he was. Weshall soon see.
More serious than all this however—because in one
way cr another it strikes at the industries and enter-
prise of the whole country and not of a single State
—
has been another adverse influence at work this week>-
from which Congressional action alone can afford relief.
Of course we refer to the further advances which have-
been recorded in foreign exchange and to the rumorsof large gold exports, to all of which stocks have quickly
responded, because the stock market is a most
sensitive tell-tale of trouble in prospect and pecu-
liarly of any trouble which threatens values. Whyforeign exchange has advanced is plain enough.
Legal tender notes pushed out for silver bullion
purchases have so disturbed our foreign trade that
gold must go, perhaps not immediately, but soon..
This is no new trick, but as old as commerce. We are
driving out gold because we undervalue it. A sugges-
tion of one of the methods by which this is being done
we get from the trade figures published from month to
month; to-day we have the preliminary statement for
October of exports of breadstuffs, cotton, i&c. (given
below in this article), and the exports and imports at
New York given on a subsequent page. It will be
noticed that the values of breadstuffs, cotton, &c., ex-
ported this October from the whole country only ag-
gregate 63^ million dollars, against 78^ million dollara^
in the same month of 1891, and 741 million dollars in
1890 ; furthermore, that the imports at New^ Yorkwere just about oOf million dollars in October, 1893,.
against iH^ million dollars in the same month of 1891,
while exports at this port were only 31J million dollars
in October, 1893, against 37^ million in 1891. These
few figures show whither we are drifting.
The money market is no doubt getting easier.
This tendency is the result not only of a smaller net
loss to the banks on the currency movement to
the interior than occurred a few weeks since,
but to a gain for several weeks pajt and also
this week on account of larger Treasury disburse-
ments. The loss in actual reserve reported last Satur-
day was obviously a special matter—a payment over
the counter possibly, due to an extra demand for
election purposes and not traceable in the returns we ob-
tain. There is an increasing amount of money offering:
on call, and during this week bankers' balances have
loaned at 6 and at 4 per cent, averaging 5 per cent._
Renewals were made at 5 to 5^ per cent, and banka-
and trust companies quote 5 per cent as the mini-
mum, while some obtain 5| per cent. There has also-
been an increase in the offerings of time money, and
as the demand has not been augmented, notes arfr
lower at 4| per cent for thirty days, 5 per cent for-
sixty days to four months, and 5| per cent for
five to six months, on good Stock Exchange
collateral. C jminorcial paper is in gooidemand, a still
lajger number of the city banks being in the market,
and there being also a good inquiry from the interior ;;
but the supply of pap3r is only fairaad not at all equal
to what is expected at this period of the year, maialy
for the reason that merchants are acting conservatively
in the matter of borrowing. Rates are 5 per cent for
sixty to ninety-day endorsed bills receivable, 5 to 5^
per cent for four months commission house names, ani

Tliorehiis been a feeling of unrest in Paris since last
week, first on account of the failure of the Oovornmonteffectively to deal with the anarchists and secondly
beoanse of the expectation that the Chamber of Depu-ties would take such action aa would result in a minis-
terial crisis. It was announced the latter part of the
week, however, that the conditions indicated that the
immediate crisis of the Government had been safely
passed. It is stated that the Gorman Imperial loan,
which it is proposed to raise on account of the army,
the navy and the Imperial railways, will amount to 149
millions of marks. From London the announcemontcame by cable that all the Uruguayan bonds obtain-
able in that market have been bought by a syndicate
who offered to take all held by the B.ink of Englandon account of the Baring estate, but the Bank declined
to sell. The movement of gold from London for Rus-
sia continues; but the withdrawals have this week bjcn
arranged so as not to disturb the stock of bullion in the
Bank of England. The cable reports discounts of
sixty to ninety day bank bilh in London at 2| per
cent. The open market rate at Paris is 2J per cent; at
Berlin it is 2^ per cent, and at Frankfort 2f per cent.
According to our special cible the Bank of E igland
gained £390,003 bullion during the week, holding at
the close £24,664,502 ; this los?, as we are also advise I
by our correspondent, was due to the receipt of
£310,000 from the interior of Great Britain, to an im-
port of £80,000, of which £06,000 wa? from P.rtugal
and £14,000 from China, and to an export of £100,000,
of which £60,000 wm to the Continent and £40,000
to Ei^ypt. The Bank of France reports an increase of
£109,000 gold.
Foreign exchange has been firm this week, rapidly
moving upward under the influence of a demand to
cover loan bills and commercial drafts, and the market
has also been affected by a scarcity of bills against out-
going staples. The arbitrage operations in the stock
market have had little or no influence upon exchange,
the foreign houses, in the great majority of cases,
trading simply for a turn. It was rumored Thurs-
day afternoon that $1,000,000 gold had been engaged
for export to Europe, but careful inquiry failed to
confirm the report, and it was no doubt false
At current rates for actual business the market is still
about one cent per pound sterling below the gold ex-
porting point. Compared with the close of Friday of
last week the market opened on Monday unchanged at
14 84i for sixty day and 14 87i for sight. But on
that day Brown Bros., the Bink of British NorthAmerica and the Bank of Montreal advanced the
long rate half a cent, and on the following day Bar-
ing, Magoun & Co. also moved this rate up half
a cent. Ou Wednesday Brown Brothers and the Bankof British North America advanced both long and
short half a cent, and on Thursday Baring, Magoun &Co. and the Bink of Montreal followed with a similar
advance, making the rates by all the drawers uniform
at 4 85^ for sixty day and 4 88 for sight. The mirket
closed steady yesterday with rates for actual business at
4 84J@4 85 for long, 4 87i@4 87i for short, 4 87^04 87J for cable trinsfers, 4 84@4 84^ for prime and
4 834@4 84 for documentary commercial bills. Thestatement issued this week by the Bureau of Statistics

There have been a number of important meetings this
week of railway men and of the members of various
traffic associations in difterent parts of the country witha view to improving the rate situation and securingmore profitable results to the roads from their traffic
operations. In the case of the meeting at Chicago theeffort to save the Trans-Continental Association fromdissolution apparently failed, but the meetings here in
the East of the trunk line presidents and the presidents
of Southern roads have on the whole been attended bygratifying success, and the promise is that very impor-tant benefits to the roads concerned will result
from the action taken at those meetings. Atthe trunk line meeting resolutions were passed restorfl
ing both east-bound and westbound rates between Chi-
cago and New York to the basis of 75 cents per 100lbs. for first class freight on December 1, and full
power was given the commissioners to see that each
road secures i'.s proper share of the traffic, thus avoid-
ing temptation on the part of the weaker lines to
ileviate from agreed schedules. It is b?lieved that the
effort will be to arrange a distribution of traffic through
concessions in the shape of differential rates, rather
than by the formation of a pool. In the South the
need for action to ensure better rates was very urgent.
Under the industrial depression which has pre-
vailed in that section, and the falling off in
certain branches of traflic, rates have been re-
duced to very low figures, and without im-
provement in that particular the outlook for
S)uthern properties would have to be regtrded aa
discouraging. At the meeting at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel it was decided to place the rate-making powers
more directly in the hands of the presidents and higher
otlicialsof the roads, and for this purpose the Execu«
live Committee of the Southern Railway Association is
to be composed entirely of such officials, instead of offi-
ci ils of lower rank. This change will give the presi-
dents more effective control of the rate situation, and
the understanding now is that after the Ist of January
ttriff schedules shall be placed on a basis such as to
ensure more profitable results than have accrued in
the recent past.
Fv>r obvious reasons statistics regarding the anthra-
cite coal trad) possess unusual interest just at the
moment. The Bureau of Anthracite Coal Statistics
has this week issued the monthly statement for Goto-
ber, and it shows that production was restricted very
materially as compared with the same month last year.
828 THEt CHRO^'ICLF. fYoi. LV,
the amount of coal mined in 189"2 having heen only
4,060,126 tons, as against 4,496,531 tons in 1891. Still
production last year had been extraordinarily large—in
fact it was claimed at the time that October, 1891,
showed the largest monthly production in the history
of the trade. Notwithstanding the reduction of 436,408
tons in the output the present year, stocks at
tidewater points increased slightly during the month,
rising from 638,301 tons on October 1 to 680,563 tons
on October 31. Last year in that month under the
hiavy production at that time, the increase in tide
water stocks was but little larger than this. It follows-
therefore that the amount of coal disposed of by tht
companies the present year, or stored at interior points
by them, was much less than in 1891- The situation
in this particular is made plain in the following.

Thus only 4,017,864 tons were apparently disposed
of in 1892, against 4,429,921 tons in October 1891, but
as against 3,936,537 tons in 1890. Even with this fall-
ing off in the late month the amount for the year to
date is two million tons in excess of last year and five
million tons in excess of 1890. A feature with refer-
ence to the production of the different regions is worth
noting. Of the decrease in output for the mouth of
436,408 toDP, no less than 294,857 tons has fallen on
the Schuylkill region, whence comes most of the Bead-ing coal; again, out of an iucrease in output of 1,839,-
042 tons for the ten months to October 31, the Schuyl-
kill region has only 161,576 tons. That region turned
out less coal in October 1892 than in October 1890, butfor the ten mouths the figures are 10,339,244 tons for
1893, 10,177,668 tons for 1891, and 8,837,937 tons
for 1890.
We give on another page our statement of net earn-
ings for September, and explain why the results are
not altogether favorable. For October only a very fewreturns of net have been received as yet, and these
can hardly be taken as a criterion of the rest. As far
as they go, however, they all show losses, with one ex-
ception, in both gross and net. Thus the PittsburgYoungstown & Ashtabula reports a decrease of |;25,237
in gross and a decrease of |il8,366 in net ; the Xash-yille Chattanooga & St. Louis, a decrease of $18,741 in
gross and of $2,729 in net; the San Francisco &North Pacific, a decrease of $3,723 in gross and *1,830in net, and the West Virginia Central & Pittsburg adecrease of $8,041 in gross and #1,536 in net. Noneof these, it will be observed, are large systems. ThePittsburg Cincinnati Chicjgo & St. Louis is largerthan any of them, and that road in its statement forOctober reports an increase in gross and net alike
$98,339 in the former and 1:29,992 in the latter.

PEOPOSED GOLD CURRENCY IN INDIA-HOW IT CONCERNS THE IWITED STATES.
FmsT Article.
The appointment of the committee by the Govern-ment of Great Britain, of which Lord Herschell is
chairman, to consider proposed modifications of the
India monetary system, looks just now as if it mightlead to graver results than has been generally autici-
p-tted. The cable announces this week that the
committee is debating a motion for establishing a gold
currency in India. That announcement would not of
itself mean much, and most likely nothing of import-
ance relating to the matter in debate will be dc-
ttrnuned for some time ; but taken in connection with
a similar discussion and movement for the relief of
India's currency embar^assmtn^, which recently has
been in progress in India as well as in Great Britain,
we have a suggestion wearing a sufficiently serious look
to induce the people of the United States to make the af-
f air a subject for attention and study. What action on
the part oi England and India dots the proposition to put
India's currency on a gold basis involve ? What difficnl-
lies attending the attempt would India have to meet ?
What would be done with India's silver rupees ? Whatwould be the effect upon European money markets?
If successful how would the change act on the monetary
sjs'em of the United States ? What may we do ia
aid of 01 to discourage the plan ? These are all ques-
tions which the mere suggestion of the scheme ua*_
avoidably brings up, and no doubt they call for careful
consideration.
Of course a first thought, and ore which is generally
held, is that the substitution of a gold currency in India
is not a feasible unde rtaking. The questions we have
asked above suggi st some of the more prominent doubts
which occur to most men's minds in view of the change.
The extent of the country and the v^st population it
contuins, the old stocks of silver held, the blind par-
tiality of the people for that mttal, the volume of
rupies in circulation and the possibility of a ccnsider-
able quantity of them being marketed, the extent and
collection of a gold reserve, and the new danger which
would threaten the world's currency if India's remark-
able propensity to h( ard the precious metels was turned
exclutivily upon gold—these conditions have presented
a problem the magnitude of which has hitherto dis-
couraged the general public in any attempt to solve
India's monetary difficulty through the adoption of a
gold currency. To be sure there have been some who
November 10, 1603.] THE OHRONICLE. 829
faaro long nrg«d this mode of relief. But now we see
the advocates have become numerous, and the idea in
getting a wide foothold ; oven thia Oovornment com-
mittee has'taken up the subject, how seriously wo do
not know, but the oable reports that the chairman,
Lord Horscholl, urges the change. This docs not prove,
and we do not claim, that general opinion in Oroat
Britain and India at present favors such a scheme, but
only that many prominent men in both countries are
beginning to contemplate a gold standard for India,
are beginning to inquire whether many of tlie fears
suggested are not merely imaginary, and whether after
all such a way out of its currency difficulty is not
thoroughly feasible.
One fact is certain, and that is that some of the
assumed hindrances to the adoption of a gold standard
in India have been- over-estimated. Chief among these
would seem to be the assertion that a large supply of
gold would be needed to ensure convertibility. Theextent of the country, of the population, and of the
silver rupees afloat, have been taken as a sort of measure
of the quantity of gold required. But do not writers
who hold that extreme view overlook several favorable
conditions bearing upon this need ? Do they not over-
look the fact that the rupee is already at par with gold
everywhere iu India except at the ports and chief
interior towns ? If that be true, it greatly sim-
plities the problem ; and we all know that it is
affirmed to be true by every English writer, so that
we may unhesitatingly accept it in this discussion.
No gold is needed to sustain a condition of the rupee
which exists already without it and which has all along
existed in face of concurrent depreciation prevailing
not far distant. There would be very little sense in so
conducting the movement to a gold standard as to
disturb the faith in silver which already is so complete
and assured, or to cultivate a desire for gold where it is
not felt iu the least now. Consequently all those
parts of India in which the rupee remains without
depreciation to- day, notwithstanding the depreciation
of silver everywhere else, would require simply to be let
alone. If the people have been able to live so long in
blissful ignorance of the loss in value of the coin they
have been daily using, they can easily retain the same
beatific attitude with reference to it under a return of
value.
This suggestion appears also to dispose of another
difficulty in the way of establishing gold payments in
India. We refer to the fear that the hoarding spirit
would be increased or tamed more exclusively upjn
gold. Why need this happen ? Of coarse gold is
hoarded now and always has been hoarded. We doubt
whether most readers are aware of the extent to which
this has been practiced during past years. Here,
for instance, are India's net imports and its coinage of
gold for the 35 years from 1858 to 1892 inclusive,
stated in five-year periods. The last column shows the
balance left over and unaccounted for after deducting
the amount minted.

The foregoing is a striking ttokunent. It indioatM forthe last ten years an aooumulation unocooanted for ofx:iH,308,290, or, estimating five dollars to the poundBtorliog, of 1191,841,450—that is to say, an average of
119,184,145 per year. That amount of nearly 200million dollars has during the tea years either goneinto the arts and manufacture or it has gone into the
hands of some one in the original form in which it wasimported. Very likely a portion of it is held by the
banks, and so also a portion of that which has beencoined we assume is held by the banks; but it is evi-
dent enough from these figures that some of the people
of India are hoarding gold, having knowledge enougheven now to appreciate the difference in stability betweenthe metals. To the extent the custom already pre*
vails we may assume perhaps that it will be continued.
But it is unreasonable to say that adding value andstability to silver would lessen the desire to hoard
silver and increase the desire to hoard gold. In-
deed in the districts where the rupee has never depre-
ciated it appears obvious that the change of standard
could have no influence whatever either way on the
habit of the people ; and if the condition of uninter-
rupted convertibility has an influence elsewhere, it
must be to widen the partiality for silver and to lessen
rather than to increase the desire for gold.
Ilence to establish a gold standard, India's need for
gold (in addition to an amount equal to the quantity
heretofore imported and used or hoarded) would, it
seems, be confined to the currency reserve requirements
at the outports and at the chief interior cities. Theonly question which remains then is, what may weassume would be wanted at those points for the pur-
pose stated—would it be large or small ? This part of
the problem likewise not only finds easy solution, but asolution which points to a very moderate figure. Tomake that conclusion obvious it is only necessary to
note another peculiarity in India's industrial condition.
We refer to its foreign trade and to the fact that its
exports of merchandise are always much larger than its
imports. Taking the official foreign trade figures for
the last ten years ending with March 1892, we find
that the balance in favor of India (omitting specie)
has aggregated 3,011,699,550 rupees, or (estimating
the rupee at 10 rupees to the pound sterling) X301,-
100,955; that means a net balance in favor of India
averaging yearly £30,110,995, or say roughly (at five
dollars a pound) 150 million dollars a year. These
facts are very likely familiar to most of our readers,
but this condition of India is so unique, and throws
the question of a gold currency for that country so
entirely out of line with the influences which affect
a gold reserve in the United States or in any European
country, that we take the space to give the >iei results,
in a five-year summary since 1868, of India's entire trade.

In the preceding remarks we have cited the figures
representing the merchandise trade for ten years. Thecompilation just given carries the record back twenty-
five years; but these totals are very like those stated for
the ten-year period, though for this longer period they
are a little less favorable, because India's development
830 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol. LV,
has been continuous. It appears that for the last quarter
of a century the net favorable merchandise balance has
reached £642,40i,986, averaging about 138J million
dollars per year. An obvious consequence of this con-
dition of India's trade is that there could be no foreign
demand for gold against which in accumulating or
replenishing a gold reserve provision would have to be
made.
As the matter stands then, India's requirement
would be wholly confined to meeting the domestic want.
Every one will see at once how exceptional is the posi-
tion which that state of affairs puts India in. Howa favorable trade balance has operated in the past
with reference to the precious metals is shown in the
last statement. Indeed a table previously given indi-
cates the gold influx even further back—thirty-five
years being covered in five-year periods—and in only a
single year out of the thirty-five included was there a
net outflow, and that was in 1879, and then the net
adverse movement was only £880,173. Moreover there
has been during the same years, and as another result of
the same situation, a net influx of silver several times as
large as the gold, aggregating for twenty-five years, as
will be seen in the last table, £165,529,069, and aver-
aging £6,621,163 per year, or say, at five dollars per
pound sterling, 33 million dollars annually. In other
words, this favorable balance has enabled India to pay
all her indebtedness to the outside world for interest
&a., and in addition thereto has compelled the world
to pay her this large amount annually in gold and
silver. Consequently when once a gold standard has
been established India would be fortified by the condi-
tion of its foreign trade against any foreign depletion
of its reserve, and, to repeat what we have already said,
would have to carry only such an amount of gold as
domestic requirements might make necessary.
"We may therefore sum up the results thus far dis-
closed briefly as follows :—(1) that to establish and,
under existing circumstances, to maintain gold pay-
ments in India would require only a minimum stock of
gold, and consequently only a minimum supply would
need to be drawn from the world's stock; (3) that the
only requirements its government would have to makeprovision against would bo the ordinary domestic
wants, and those wants would be confined mostly to the
outports; (3) that there is no cause for anticipating an
increased disposition to hoard gold unless forsooth it be
claimed that a lack of faith would be felt in India's
ability to sustain her new position, which under the
conditions as they now exist is a claim wholly without
reason ; and finally (4) that the facts cited justify the
general conclusion that no serious difiiculty can be
encountered by India, and no considerable disturbance
at European monetary centres need be feared wereIndia to undertake to put its currency on a gold
basis.
TffB REGENT LONO-AND-SHORT-HAVLDECISION.
It seems desirable to correct certain misapprehen-sions that have arisen regarding the scope and purportof the recent decision of the United States CircuitCourt of Appeals (a new appellate tribunal created last
year) in a case involving the application of the long-and-short-haul clause of the Inter-State Commerce Act.The impression exists in some quarters that the deci-sion marks a construction of the provision in questionwhich is entirely new in all its features, that it involves
a complete change in railroad methods and practices,
and that it is diametrically opposed to the rulings of
the Inter-State Commerce Commission. Such impres-
sion is only partially well-founded. Wiiile the decision
is very broad and the Court has gone much further
than the Commission in seeking a liberal interpretation
of the statute, yet the Commission has time and again
made rulings very similar in nature, and differing only
in the degree of latitude allowed the railroads in their
operations under the fourth section of the law. Only
this week (in the case decided on Thursday and pub-
lished at length in another column) the Commission
reaflirmed some of its previous rulings bearing on the
question, though the points raised were not the sameas those considered in the present instance.
The case before the Court of Appeals was a
comparatively simple one, and in its general out-
lines involved no intricate or disputed points. Thematter came before the Circuit Court of Appeals
on appeal from the U. S. Circuit Court for the
Southern District of Iowa, where the plaintiff, JohnOsborne, had recovered a judgment for $335 against the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company for alleged
over-charges on corn shipped from Scranton, Iowa, to
Chicago. It appears that in January 1888, according
to a tariff in force at that time and duly published, the
local rate on corn from Scranton to Chicago was 18
cents per 100 pounds. It furthermore appears that at
the same time the Northwestern, in connection with
the Eastern trunk lines, was quoting joint through
rates on corn from Blair, Neb. (a point farther west
than Scranton), to the Atlantic seaboard at New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and that on such
through shipments the Northwestern received only 14^
cents as its proportion of the through rate, whereas the
local charge, as we have seen, for the shorter distance,
from Scranton to Chicago, was 18 cents. There was no
attempt at discrimination between different shippers
—
all were treated alike, the local charge, Scranton to Chi-
cago, being uniformly 18 cents. The joint tariff at the
lower proportional rate was also open to all, apparent-
ly, but it was not published at Scranton, and as no
knowledge was given to or possessed by the plaintiff
until February 24 (of the same year) he made no appli-
cation for shipment beyond Chicago. After that date,
however, he shipped through to the seaboard and ob-
taiued the benefit of the through tariff the same as
other through shippers.
It will be observed from this brief synopsis that,
practically, only two points were raised—namely, the
obligation to publish joint rates and the right to
accept less than the local charge as the proportion of
a through shipment. As to the first of these poiats,
the Court disposed of ib with very little trouble. The
over-charge alleged occurred, as we have seen, in the
early part of 1888, before the Inter- State law waa
amended. The Court points out that the only re-
quirement of the law regarding joint tariffs was that
each common carrier furuish the Commission a copy of
all joint tariffs, and that it was left to the Commission
to determine the degree of publicity to be given to the
tariffs. In this instanc3 no publication of the joint
tariff had been ordered by the Commission—at least
as regards Scrantofa, which was a non-competitive
point. The Judge says (the opinion was by Judge
Brewer), it avails the plaintiff nothing that he was un-
aware of the joint through tariff at the time of his
shipments. No false statement was made to him, and
he did not inquire as to its existence. The defendant
November 19, 1803. J THE CHRONICLE. 831
was under no common-law or statuto obligation to
advise the plaintiff where or how ho had better ship
his grain; it fulfilled its legal obliga'tion when it pab-
lished its local tariff and advised him truthfally as
far as ho made special inquir}'.
The matter hence resolved itself into the question
whether it was legal to charge less on through than on
local shipments over the same road. This question, as
already intimated, the Inter-State Commission had
many times answered in the affirmative. In a letter
addressed by the Chairman of the Commission to an offi-
cial of one of the freight associatioDS, about 3^ years
ago, we find the following language: "The Commission" has repeatedly held that it is not necessary that the
" proportion a railroad shall consent to receive of a
" through rate should be the same as its local rate for
" transportation over an identical line." And rulings
to that effect were made in a great many different cases
that came before the Commission. In Lippman & Co.
TS. Illinois Central KR. they declare that "through rates
"are not necessarily illegal which, when divided be-
" tween carriers, give them less than their local rates."
In MoMorran vs. Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, the
statement is that " through rates are not required to
" bo made on a mileage basis nor local rates to corre-
" spond with the division of a joint through rate over
"the same line." In New Orleans Cotton Exchange
vs. Cincinnati New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway,
the language is that " the proportion of one carrier in a
" through rate upon a long haul often is, and fre-
" quently well may be, considerably less than its local
" rate for hauling the same freight over its own line
" without there being any unjust discrimination, un-
*' lawful preference, or extortion, involved in such a
"method." Again in Poughkeepsie Iron Company vs.
New York Central & Hudson River Riilroad the decla-
ration is that " the doctrine that an estimated propor-
" tion of the through rate must not be less than the
"local rate from an intermediate point to another
" point named on the line covered by the through rate
" has often been held by the Commission to be unten-
"able", and in Chicago Rock Island & Pacific vs.
Chicago & Alton the language is that " where prop-
" erty is to be transported by rail by continuous and*' uninterrupted carriage from one station to another,
" there may be sound and legal reasons for making a
"charge for the through transportation which is less
" than the sum of the locals for the transportation of
"like property from point to point between such
" stations."'
We have not attempted to give these rulin gs in the
order in which they were rendered, and of course they
did not all involve facts precisely analagous to those
raised in the Circuit Court of Appeals; but they
serve clearly to show the views of the Commission and
its course in that regard. The juiicial character of
the Court's decision of course gives to it an importance
and a value which, in the nature of things, could not be
claimed for the rulings of the Commission. There U,
however, a further and important point of difference
between the two. The Commission always sought to
restrict the application of the doctrine l^id down by it,
and to limit, wherever possible, the discretion of
managers under it, so as to guard against too muchand too great license on their part. The Court, how-
ever, states its decision in terms such as to give the
widest possible application to it within specified limits.
It even furnishes a hypothetical case to indicate just
how far it might be permissible and legal for a road to
go. Says the Judge: "On the defendant'* rotd thedistance from Turner to Chicago is 30 miles ; oa tlwLake Shore lino from Chicago to Cleveland it ii 200 or
300 miles; the defendant company may charge 15
cents for transporting grain the 30 miles from Taroarto Chicago, providing that be in fact only a reasonable
charge for the service, although the Lake Shore Com-pany charges no more for transporting it from Chicago
to Cleveland ; and the fact that the rate on each line
is 15 cents for the distance named will not prevent the
two companies from making a joint tariff for graia
shipped from Turner to Cleveland of 12 cents, lens than
the local tariff' of either." That ia certainly a verj
broad and sweeping declaration. In the ruling of the
Commission first above mentioned (Lippman & Co. rn.
Illinois Central RR.), to the effect that throngh ratee
are not necessarily illegal which give to each carrier
less than the local rates, the important proviso was
added that the through rate itself must not be less than
some one of the locals. But the Court of Appeals,
we see, expressly declares that the throngh rate maybe less than either local.
Here then the Court goes a step further in the appli-
cation of the principle laid down than the CommerceCommiesion ha3 undertaken to go. But the Court at
the same time defines the limits within which the rule
is to be applied. It saya that there is no intention to
intimate that the two companies with a joint line can
make a tariff from Turner to Cleveland higher than
from Turner to Buffalo, or for any other intermediate
point between Cleveland and Buffalo, "for when the" two companies by their joint tariff make a new and
"independent line, that new and independent line may" become subject to the long-and-short-haul clause.
"But what we mean to decide is, that a through tariff
" on a joint line is not the standard by which the
" separate tariff of either company ij to be measured" or condemned."
*
From what has been said it will be seen that the
Court has interpreted the long-and-short-haul clause
not as regards its bearing upon a line composed of a sin-
gle road, but in its bearing on a line made up of several
roads. The distinction is not imaginary. For the
Court points out that a joint tariff does not bind road
to road in the sense that the two are used or operated
by either corporation. "There is neither unity of
"ownership nor unity of operation, but only a single-
" ness of charge and a continuity of l>ransportation over
" connecting roads. Neither is there any mandate to" connecting companies to surrender any control over
" their own roads or to unite in a joint tariff." * • *
" The whole matter is left to the voluntary action of
" the companies, and in forming by agreement any" joint tariff, the basis of division and the proportion of
" money each shall take is also a matter left to their
" determination." The Court likewise points out that
the denunciation of the fourth section is against each
separate carrier for its violation of the long-and-short-
haul clause on its own line. And the Judge lays stress
on the use of the word "line" in the prohibition of
a greater charge for a shorter than for a longer dis-
tance. "The use of the word ' line is significant,"
he says. "Two carriers may use the same road but" each has its separate line. The defendant may" lease trackage rights to any other railroad company," bat the joint use of the same track does not create
" the 'same line' so as to compel either company to
"graduate its tariff by that of the other." By this
process of reasoning the Court reaches the conclasioa
832 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol. LV.
that there •was no yiolation of the long-and-short-haul
clause by the defendant in respect to its own line;
"nor did the defendant, acting with eastern com-
" panies, on the line made by its road in connection
" with theirs, charge or receive for grain shipped from
" Scranton or any point west, to any eastern point,
" less than a through tariff. In other words, the de-
" fendant did not separately, or in connection with
" other companies, violate section four."

OUE MONTHLY RETURNS OF EARNINGS.
In seeking to interpret our October compilation of
earnings, as published by us in the issue of last Satur-
day, the "Wall Street Daily News of this city makes the
following remarks. We are led to print the extract
because we have observed similar comments from time
to time in various quarters, and it seems desirable in
the interest of reliable conclusions to correct the error
which they embody.
The returns are not so full as for the previous year. This
is rather curious, although it must be remembered that as
returns are made out by weeks, and the report of October earn-ings is published earlier than it was a month ago, a less numberof roads and smaller mileage is reported. In commenting uponthe returns for September we called attention to the fact that
the Chronicle had fewer returns on account of the date of its
publication. Ttie September returns of gross earnings were giv-
en up to the loth; the November returns only appear up to the
12th, and on that account they must necessarily be deficient.
This will in a measure explain why the October returns havebeen received from only 132 roads, which is the smallest num-ber recorded for that month in three years. It is not becausethe railroad companies have refused or have delayed the pub-lication of the figures, but because it was too early to returnany fair report. This of course shows that the figures for ninemonths also cover a smaller mileage than in either of the last
two years, and naturally the increase for October and for thenine months is the smallest since 1888.
Three weeks ago, in an article on the " Tendency
Towards Railroad Consolidation," we set out quite at
length the reasons why the number of roads now con-
tributing returns to our statements is less than a year
or two ago. In brief, one of the main reasons is that
so many of the smaller roads have been absorbed by
the larger ones, and now appear only in the latter. It
•was found for instance that the Cleveland Cincinnati
Chicago & St. Louis now includes the Cleveland Colum-
bus Cincinnati & Indianapolis, the Cincinnati Indian-
apolis St. Louis & Chicago, the Indianapolis & St.
Louis, the Cincinnati Sandusky & Cleveland, the
Cairo Vince»nes & Chicago and the Cincinnati Wa-bash & Michigan, all of which at one time made sepa-
rate reports to us ; and that the Norfolk & Western in-
cludes the Shenandoah Valley, the Scioto Valley & NewEngland, the Lynchburg & Durham and the RoanokeSouthern, and that a great many other roads have dis-
appeared in the same way. We cannot go over again
the ground covered by our previous article ; but as it
seems to be thought that the fact that the statement
was compiled earlier, accounts mainly for the falling off
in the number of roads, it will be interesting to com-pare with the statement for last year and see howmany roads have dropped out, and the reason for their
disappearance.
Of course under ordinary circumstances the earlier
publication of the statement would mean fewer returns,
but we use the telegraph so extensively in collecting
these returns that we are able to overcome almost en-tirely the difference in time. Perhaps the best proofof this is furnished in the large number of roads con-tained in the present year's compilation, but which didnot have a place in last year's. Here is a list of theseroads.
Thus, notwithstanding our paper went to press twodays earlier this year, the statement embraced no less
than 17 roads which did not appear a year ago. If
none of the old roads had dropped out, therefore, the
aggregate number of roads reporting in 1892 wouldhave been just that much larger. It happens, how-ever, that quite a good many roads did drop out. Wegive the list arranged under two separate heads.

We have included the Illinois Central in the second
group above because the company has not for several
months furnished regular monthly statements, though
yesterday it kindly gave us the figures back to the 1st of
July. The first group in the foregoing embraces no less
than ten roads which no longer count as separate roads,
simply because they no longer furnish separate returns,
being merged in others. The second group comprises
as many as thirteen roads. These are missing from
our statements not because we closed the table earlier,
but because the companies have stopped giving out
figures each month. The only large or prominent com-
panies included in this group are the Illinois Central and
the Richmond & Danville, the latter however com-
prising eight roads. The mileage in this second group
is over 8,000 miles, and if we had been able to secure
returns from those roads the total mileage represented
in our table would have been larger even than last
year's exceptionally large total of 100,000 miles. As
concerns the number of roads, it will be observed that
in the two groups together there are 23 roads, and with
these included we would have 155 roads this year
against only 147 roads last year. And this is inde-
pendent of eight roads which are missing from this
year's statement for other reasons, namely the Balti-
more & Ohio, the Nashville Chattanooga & St, Louis,
and six minor roads—the Birmingham & Atlantic, the
Duluth & Winnipeg, the Cleveland & Marietta,
the Sioux City & Northern, the Chesapeake Ohio
& Southwestern and the Savannah Americus &Montgomery. The Baltimore & Ohio never appears in
time for our monthly statements, and its inclusion last
year was owing to an entirely exceptional circumstance.
The Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis returns are
not made up till the 12th of the month, and hence in
that case the figures could not be obtained in time for
our statement last week. But that road, and possibly
also the Sioux City & Northern (two roads alto-
gether), are the only ones which were barred out by
reason of such circumstance—that ie, by reason of the
early publication of the statement. In fact, out of
the eight roads mentioned we have, even at this date,
only four, including the two named.
NovKiCBUt 10, 1808.] THE CHRONICLE. 888It is alao a mistake to assume that the inoreaae in the
total of earnings has been diminished by the reduction in
the number of roads and the mileage. The increase ia
small because tlie conditions wore unfavorable, as fully
explaiuod in our article last week. There is no reason
whatever for thinking that the gain would have been any
heavier with the figures of the Illinois Central, the
Bichmond & Danville and the other roads included.
The probabilities are rather that, in view of the unfa-
vorable conditions, it would have been less.
COTTON MANUFACTTJRINO AT FALLRl VER IN 1892.
The results of the operations of the cotton-manufac-
turing establishments at Pall River for 1892 are very
satisfactory, and furnish a decided contrast with like
figures for the preceding year. A number of corpora-
tions which had to suspend the payment of dividends
in 1891 in consequence of the poor business done are
again making some return on the capital invested,
while almost all the other establishments hive in-
creased their rate of distribution—some very materially.
The causes tending to the more fnvorable exhibit this
year were fully set forth in our annual crop report last
September, and it is therefore unnecessary to further
refer to them here.
Inability to obtain official returns from many of the
mills, owing to the unwillingness of the managment to
make public the details of their operations, prevents
an extended comparison. We have, however, been able
to prepare a statement covering fourteen of the corpora-
tions, which, it will be observed, reported net earnings
the past year of $1,399,249, against 1709,396 in 1891
and $1,137,001 in 1890. The capitalization of these
companies is $8,880,000, and consequently the ratio of
earnings to capital was in 1892 nearly 16 per cent,
whereas in the preceding year it reached less than 8
per cent and in 1890 was over 12^ per cent. Taking
the results of these fourteen establishments as a fair
indication of what has been accomplished in the mills
•collectively, it is safe to assume that the year 1892 has
been one of the most favorable in the history of cotton
manufacturing at Fall River. A point that must
not be lost sight of in considering the subjoined state-
ment of earnings is that in most cases the figures re-
ported are net, after making allowance for depreciation
of existing plant, etc., a fact which serves to emphasize
the present year's satisfactory showing. The table re-
ferred to is as follows.

Considering the above in connection with the state-
ment of dividends for the year, it becomes clear that
in most instances a good surplus has remained after
the payment of dividends to be applied towards the
extinguishment of existing debts, or further improve-
ments, or to be carried to surplus account. There are
a number of mills not included in the above compila-
tion solely because we have the figures for only two
'"ears. It is worth noting, however, that the Fall
River Mfg. Co., which made a loss last year of aboat$21,000, haa earned $12,000 net in 1802. The Kob«>son Hills has net this year of $17,328 againitt a loss in1891 of $6,060.
Taming attention next to the matter of dividends,
we find that thirty-three corporations, representing »capital of $18,858,000, have distributed a total of
$492,780 during the last quarter of the year, or anaverage return to the shareholders of 2 '61 per oentfor that quarter, whereas the amount paid out in th«same quarter of 1891 was only 1*30 pe« cent Tb«details are as follows.

It will be observed that the Hargravea, King Philip
and Narragansett mills and the Union Cotton Mfg.
Co., pursuing a very conservative conrse, have merely
maintained the previous years' ratio of distribution.
All the other mills, however, have distributed greater
amounts, and in some cases the increase is heavy. Ia
fact, the American Linen Co. paid out but $8,000, or
1 per cent, last year, but in 1892 distributed $60,000,
or 7i per cent. The Kerr Thread Co., a new corpora-
tion, has distributed to its stockholders $80,000, off
834 THE CHRONICLE [Vol. LV.
8 per cent on the capital invested. The Mechanics'
Mills has paid 6 per cent this year, against nothing
in 1891, and so on all through the list. To furnish a
more comprehensive comparison, we have prepared

with
mustcomparing the ratio of dividend in
that of such years us 1889, 1888 and 188?, one
not lose sight of the fact that the poor results in 1891
led the management of many of the corporations to be
jnore conservative in the distribution of profits.
The mills are still doing a profitable business, and
the outlook for the future appears to be satisfactory.
It should be remembered, however, that the price of
the raw material has advanced rapidly withia the past
two weck^, middling being quoted in this market to-
night at 9:^^ cents. Oa August 31 the quotation was 7|
cents, showing that in about two and one-half months
there has been an increase in price of 2^ cents per
pound. During the same period quotations for goods
have only slightly advanced. Furthermore, the manu-
facturers have agreed upon an increase in the wage
scale of about seven per cent, such increase to go into
-efifect on the first Monday in December. It becomes
clear, consequently, that except in the case of those
mills which laid in heavy stocks of cotton when it was
ruling low, the margin for profit has been considerably
narrowed. la fact it is currently reported that while
«ome mills have enough cotton on hand to last until
August, a majority of them are not supplied beyond
the first of April,
THE BUFFALO ROCHESTER <& PITTSBURG.In this country the very large systems occupy such a
prominent position in public discussions that one ig
apt to overlook the growth and development of the
smaller roads. In the Buffalo Eochester & Pitts-
burg we have a conspicuous instance of growth
on the part of a road whose aggregate mileage can
hardly be regarded as large. According to the annual
report just published gross earnings in the year ending
June 30 1893 were $2,999,662—in round numbersthree million dollars. Going back two years we find that
in 1889-90 the gross was $1,979,624—that is, less than
two million dollars. Hence in this short interval the
revenue has been added to over a million dollars, or 50
per cent. The company has been very liberal in mak-ing repairs and renewals during the two years, so as to
place the property in condition to do the rapidly-grow-
ing business, and hence net earnings have not increased
projiortionately as fast as the gross, and yet the net in-
come of $917,039 for 1892 compares with only $675,587for 1890.
One naturally looks for a special favoring cause in
explanation of this very marked expansion in business
in so short a time, and we find it in the change in
the ownership of the property which occurred early in
1890. Like the Western New York & Pennsylvania,whose report we commented on last week, the BuffaloRochester & Pittsburg is engaged very largely in thetransportation of Pennsylvania bituminous coal toBuffalo and Rochester ; and in April 1890 parties in-
terested in the Bell, Lewis & Yates Coal Mining Com-pany secured control of a majority of the stock of theHochester road, and the company mentioned at the
same time guaranteed to ship not less than half a
million tons of coal annually over the road for the
ensuing five years, giving an important addition to
the large coal traffic which the road previously had.
Last May a traffic contract was also entered into be-
tween the Eochester & Pittsburg and the Beech Creek
(through the New York Central as lessee) and the
Philadelphia & Reading. By this contract the Roches-
ter & Pittsburg agrees to build a connecting link of 26
miles from a point 3^ miles south of DuBois on its line
to Clearfield on the Beech Creek. As the latter road
connects with the Reading at Williamsport this link
will form part of a through line to points on the Read-
ing system, and important benefits are expectei from
the same. As now constituted, the Eochester has lines
to Lake Erie (Buffalo) and to Lake Ontario (Eochester
and Charlotte), and through the Reading connection it
will be given an outlet to the Atlantic seaboard.
The road in the late year suffered a further reduc-
tion in i^s average freight rates, the average dropping
to only 59 hundredths of a cent per ton per mile, that
is, less than six mills per ton mile. Of course the
large coal tonnage makes low rates a necessity, since
bituminous coal will not bear high transportation
charges, and of course also the sharp comiDetition prevail-
ing enforces a tendency to the same effect. Since 1889
the bituminous tonnage has risen from 991,800 tons to
1,675,684 tons ; coke, from 214,930 to 328,976 tons,
and anthracite coal from 54,317 to 76,481 tins. But
it must not be supposed that there has not been growth
in other sources of traffic. Thus the salt traffic has
risen from 84,883 to 123,548 tons; forest products,
from 221,217 to 250,884 tons ; vegetable food, from
60,161 to 90,582 tons; animal products, from 10,652
to 19,966 tons ; manufactures, from 27,019 to 38,470
tons ; merchandise, from. 30,643 to 56,030 tons, and
various miscellaneous articles, from 73,519 to 182,785
tons. Aggregate tonnage of all kinds ha? risen from
1,770,219 to 2,844,466 tons, and the tons one mile
from 231,239,177 tons to 405,646,685 ton?. Passenger
traffic, too, shows gratifying expansion, the number of
passengers carried having increased over 50 per cent
since 1889, or from 507,706 to 762,512, and the num-
ber one mile from 12,415,269 to 15,687,269.
The road's charges are not large in proportion to its
earnings—thanks to the effective reorganization made
a few years ago—and last February dividends at the
rate of 5 per cent per annum were begun on the pre-
ferred stock. After meeting all charges and paying
out $54,854 for extraordinary expenses, besides making
very heavy repairs and renewals, as already mentioned,
a balance of $193,594 remained on the operations of
the twelve months The campany charged $150,000
for the dividends on the preferred stock (two dividends
of li per cent on $6,000,000 of stock), and this left a
surplus of $43,594. These results do not include any
profit from the operations of the Roohester & Pitts-
burg Coal & Iron Co. for the same year, the whole of
which stock the railroad company owns. An increase
of $650,000 in the bonded debt of the road is reported
for the year ; it is stated that the funds were applied to
the reduction of the floating debt caused by expendi-
tures for new construction and rolling stock made in
recent years. The balance sheet shows $518,597 of
current liabilities June 30 1892 (including $201,717 of
bills payable) and $107,065 of charges accrued but not
due. The current assets on the other hand at the same
date amounted to $749,330, excluding $286,635 of ma-
terials on hand.
NOTBMBBB 19, 1803.] THE CHRONICLE. 885
NETEARNINGS FOR SEPTEMBER AND THENINE MONTHS.
If our September statement of net earnings reflocts
cnljr indifferent results in comparison with the earn-
ings for the corresponding month last year, the reasons
for such a showing are obvious and on the surface.
While the grain movement as a whole in that month of
this year waa a great deal heavier than for the samemonth of 1891, the movement of spring wheat in cer-
tain sections of the Northwest fell below that of a yearago, and as a consequence some of the roads in that
section sufltred a loss in earnings. In the South there
was a heavy falling of! in the cotton movement. Thenalso the tendency towards augmented expenses hasagain been an important factor in affecting net results,
though in some cases there has been a modification of
that tendency, and in a few special instances an abso-
lute reversal of it. Finally, the comparison is withvery good earnings last year, September then havingyielded exceptionally favorable results.
In the aggregate our present statement shows a gain
of $1,947,051 in gross earnings and a gain of $235,019in net earnings. The ratio of increase is 2*92 per cent
in the gross and but 0-95 per cent in the net. That thij is
a much smaller improvement both as regards gross andnet than in most of the preceding months appearswhen it is noted that for the nine months to September30 the increase over 1891 is 6-03 per cent ($34,975,295in amount) in gross and 3 24 per cant (*6,068,702) in
net. In this latter period, it is proper to state, we are
able to include a number of roads which will not fur-
nish regular monthly returns. In tabular form thecomparison is as follows :
In view of the numerous largo g<iina loat year, ifc
might be supposed that there would be rery foir itrik-ing gains the present year, and yet there are (Ire Urg»companies which each report over a quarter of a millioadollars increase in gro8^ namely the Burlington St
Qainoy $422,402, the Atchison (including the San Fran-Cisco and Colorado Midland) $302,782, the MissouriPacific $317,033, the Baltimore & Ohio $281,798 andthe Union Pacific $266,168. These are all roads whichit seems reasonable to assume profited very largely bythe heavy grain movement. In the net, like vise, theraare some largo gains, and from the same roads, the Balti-
more & Ohio leading with $205,826, the Atchison hay-ing $202,610 increase and the Burlington & Quincy$105,323. Besides these there are several gains for less
than one hundred thousand dollars from roads in dif-
ferent parts of the county. In the following we bringtogether in our usual way all increases and also all de-creases above $30,000 in amount, both in gross and net..

We have said that the comparison ij with heavyearnings la t jear. As a matter of fact, in the im-
provement shown September was one of the very best
months of that year. The gains from the Union Pa-cific, the Reading, the Atchison, the St. Paul, the
Burlington & Quincy, the Northern Pacific, the Cana-dian Pacific, and many others, were not only very
large in gross but also in the net, and in this improve-
ment at that time every leading group participated. In
the aggregate then oar statement showed no less than
$4,59-1,055 increase in gross and $2,329,352 increase in
net. Carrying the comparison further back, we find
that in 18'JO and likewise in 1889 the increases in Sep-
tember were very heavy, 1890 having shown *-t, 626,198
gain in gross and $938,766 in net, and 1889 $4,241,369
gain in gross and $3,204,595 in net.

Total (representing27 roads) $1,150,355
t The net decreased $193,331 oa Eastera lines and $33,095 on WmVem lines.
We see hy this that if there are large gains there are
also large losses. The latter, however, are chiefly
prominent in the case of the net, including the Penn-sylvania (lines west of Pittsburg & Erie as well as
those east) with 1248,476 decrease, the Milwaukee <&
St. Paul with $214,951 decrease, the Southern Paoifia
with 1163,522, the Cincinnati New Orleans & TexasPacific with $100,700, the Burlington Cedar Uipids &Xorthern with $64,947, the Fort Scott & Memphiswith $37,478, the "Soo" with $33,880, the Oregon Im-provement with $33,140 and the Big Four with $30,965.
It is significant of the part played by augmented ex-
penses in affecting results adversely that, with the ex-
ception of the Southern Pacific, the Cincinnati NewOrleans & Texas Pacific and the Oregon Improvement,
every one of the roads here mentioned owes its decrease
in net entirely to an augmentation in expenses and nokto a decrease in gross. The St. Paul and the PennsylK
vania are especially conspicuous in this respect, tho-
latter, though having lost $248,476 in net, having
gained $47,029 in gross, and the St. Paul, while report-
ing $214,951 decrease in net, having $15,766 iucreasa
in gross.
But, as already intimated, in a number of instancea
the tendency to an increase in expenses his beea
836 THE HRONICLK [Vol. LV.
modified or reversed. Thus the Northern Pacific while
haying suffered a decrease of $49,G50 in gross is able
to show an increase of 178,383 in net, owing to a re-
duction in expenses. The Wisconsin Central, with
69,633 gain in gross, has $56,037 gain in net. Adding
this latter, the total gain in net on the Northern Pacific
Bystem would be $134,320. The Baltimore & Ohio, we
have seen, out of a gain of $281,978 in gross carried
205,826 over as a gain in net, and the exceptionally
good results in this case are to be ascribed to the exti a
passenger traffic which resulted from the holding of
the Grand Army encampment at Washington, The
Heading furnishes a very striking instance of a com-
pany which iias through reduced expenses managed
to increase its net ; on the Railroad the changes
are comparatively unimportant, there being only $39,-
^61 increase in gross and $15,594 increase on net, but
on the Coal & Iron Company there was a decrease in
gross receipts in the large sum of $445,621, and this
was attended by a still larger decrease in expenses (over
half a million dollars in fact), thus leading to a gain of
69,672 in net. .
Speaking of the Reading, we may note that the
anthracite coal group as a whole presents very satisfac-
tory comparisons. In the .aggregate for that group
there is a gain of $198,168 (or 10-51 per cent) in the
net, with only one road reporting a decrease. For the
nine months the gain is 9-17 per cent, and in this case
also only one road reports a decrease, notwithstanding
that the number of roads included is larger. The South-
western group likewise makes a very favorable show-
ing. For the month there is an increase of $243,671,
or 7 "70 per cent, and for the nine months an increase
of 12,126,545, or 11-79 per cent, with only a few roads
reporting losses in either case, the Kansas City Fort
Scott & Memphis b^ing one of these. The Northwest-
ern group loses $191,576, or 4-90 per cent, for the
month, but gains 12,480,479, or 11-85 per cent, for the
nine months. For this latter period all but 4 out of 13
roads have increases; for the month all but 5 (out of
13) have decreases. The Pacific Coast group also has a
decrease for the month and an increase for the year
to date. There is considerable irregularity as between
the results for the different roads in both periods, the
Southern Pacific falling quite heavily behind in each
case.
The trunk lines show a loss in net for the nine
months as well as for September, heavily-augmented
expenses being a feature in this group. For the monthonly the Baltimore & Ohio, the Wabash and two minor
roads have increases in net, while for the nine months
there are only 3 increases among 14 roads. In the
Middle States the returns generally show losses ; in the
Middle Western generally gains. This relates to the
month ; for the nine months there is more or less irreg-
ularity in both sections. The Lake Erie & Western
deserves mention for its very good exhibit, having
gained $38,975 in net for September and $137,596 for
the nine months. The Louisville New Albany & Chi-
cago has done even better for the latter period, having
increased its net for the nine months from 1484,507 to
812,988, though for September by itself that road has
a loss. The Southern group shows a loss in net bothfor the month and the nine months, which of course is
natural. The Chesapeake & Ohio is distingushed for
a very heavy gain in both periods, but most of the
roads have done poorly. Taking all the different groups
together, there are 46 roads which record losses in gross
and 62 losses in net for the month "out of 127 roads alto-
gether, and 46 roads which record losses in gross and 64
losses in net (out of 166) for the nine months.

LOHUON, Saturday, November 5, 189?.
Contrary to general expectation, the Directors of the Bankof England made no change in their rate of discount this
week. They have probably had information not accessible
to the general public which justifies the decision; if they badnot, it appears unwise. Messrs. Rothschild have had to sendto [Russia lately about a million and a-half sterling in gold,
but they knew that if they took the whole amount from theBank a rise in the rate would be indispensable ; therefore
they bought the larger amount in the open market at 78e. Id.
per ounce—that is, at a premium ab3ve the cost .it the Bank.Yet in spite of this action the withdrawals for the weekended Wednesday nigbt^ amounted to £704,0. 0, and, so far
as is known by the public, it stems inevitable that Russiawill go on taking the metal. According to the semi-official
Journal de St. Petersburg, the Russian Oovernnient has about80 millions sterling in gold in St. Petersburg and 10 or 17 mil-
lions sterling in London, Paris and Berlin. She can, therefore,
withdraw a considerable amount more, especially as she ia
still endeavoring to raise a fresh loan. The discount rate ia
the open market is now 27g per cent, and both the banks andthe discount houses are allowing U^ per cent on deposita,*
The price of silver fell on Thursday to 38 l.VlBd. per oe.,
but recovered yesterday to 39 l-16d. per oz. The market is de*cidedly weak. The committee presided over by Lord Her~scbell to intjuire as to what remedies, if any, ought to be ap-plied in India in consequence of Ihe^depreciation of silver, hasbeen taking evidence since the middle of last week, but re-
porters are not admitted to its proceedings. It is understood
however, on excellent authority, that the most inflnential
members are in favor of the adoption of a gold standard. Xhft
838 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol LV.
-details of the plan are not known, but it is believed that, at
first at all events, a gold currency is not to be introduced. If
a report to that effect is made by the committee' and is acted
upon by the Government, sooner or later it is evident that the
Indian demand for silver must fall off. Probably the Indian
mints will have to be closed against private parties. Public
opinion here, at all events the public opinion of experts, is
against the proposal, but the mere rumor that the committee
or its most influential members are in favor of it is adverse
to the silver market.
The rise in the value of money, the uneasiness caused by the
persistent withdrawals of gold for Russia, the proposed in-
crease in the German army, the Eussian demand for the free
passage of its ships through the Bosphorus, the disturbed
state of the Balkan Peninsula, and rioting in Spain, have all
"weighed upon the Stock Exchange and the Continental
ijourses during the week. Speculation is almost stagnant,
«nd investment to a large extent is at a stand-still. The elec-
tions in the United States, of course, checking businees in
ITew York, have also had a considerable influence. It is
"possible that if New York shows confidence and keeps prices
xip well for some time business may increase in the American•department here. But for the present at all events there is
xio incliration to operate, the general public is holding
«loof, £nd even professional speculators are afraid to in-
-crease their risk?. Still, markets are fairly steady. But
there ii an undertone of apprehension ; especially the
policy ( f Rassia is inspiring uneasiness. Nobody can under-
«^aud why she should be accumulating such a vast hoard of
gold unless she is contemplating an early war. Her negoti-
ations in Paris, too, for a fresh loan are disquieting. It is
known that under the pressure cf French opinion the Messrs.
Eotbsctiild of Paris were prepared to join the other great
bankers in the negotiations ; but the London house firmly re-
cused to co-operate, and Jewish capitalists everywhere else in
Europe tiok up such an attitude that it was certain they
would do their utmost to defeat the issue. The present opinion
is tbat the negotiations will fail, especially as the negotiations
between Russia and Germany for a better commercial arringe-
'xcent are not proceeding smoothly. At the same time the
JBanque de Paris et des Pays Bas is very powerful and very
«nterpiising, and may decide to defy the Jews. If so, there
will be another struggle in Paris like that of twelve months
The Central Chamber of Agricultare here has called a Na-tional conference of agiiculturalists for the 7th of December,•when the great London Catt'e Show will be goina; on. Land-lords and farmers complaio that the present is the worst year,
•vrith the exception of 1879, of the present geaeration. The«rops have all been exceedingly bad, and they have suffered
in quality from the inclemency of the weather during harvest
time. Prices, too, are very low both for grain and for cattle;
dairy-farming even, it is alleged, does not pay, and wool is
<juite unprofitable. For instance, it is stated that during the*wenty years 1860-80, the average price of cheviot wool wasIs. 6d. per lb. ; now it is only 9d. per lb.—a fall of exactly one-iialf—and black-faced wool has fallen from lOd. to an averageof from 5d. to 5J^d. per lb. In addition, disease is rife
amongst horses, horned cattle, sheep anl pigs. Rents evi-
dently must come down ; wages are falling, and many agri-
<:ultural laborers are being discharged.
The corporation of Manchester has decided to lend another2 millions sterling to the Ship Canal Company. The corpora-tion of Salford is willing to advance a million and the cor-
poration of Oldham is expected to offer a quarter of a millionsterling, so that the company has now the prospect of getting«resh money to the amount of 3}4 millions sterling.
Trade continues to fall off, and the number of the unem-ployed is increasing. On Thursday a deputation of labormembers of the London County Council waited on the Presi-dent of the Local Government Board to urge upon him toissue a circular advising the local authorities, dock, harbor,gas, water and sanitary authoiities to carry out such worksas would give employment to thousands.About two months ago a split occurred in the Association of
Scotch Oil Producers which led to an intensely keen competi-tion. Th« price of ".scale" od was at once reduced J^d. perpound, a lurther reduction of }:^<i. per pound was very shortlymade, and now it is said that the Irish trade is being suppliedat a further reduction of %<i. per pound, making a total fallin about two months of I'^d. per pound.

The Money Market and Financial Sltnation.—Tlie fmnn-
cial luarkct.-^ liavf m'lierally relapsed into duluess after the
late iH)litical oxciU'iiiunt. Tlie situation, however, has not
materially changed, and tliero is a good prospect of renewed
activity in the near future, although tliia may be postponed
until after the meeting of Congress, or even till the new year
is at Iiand.
Tliero has been a hopeful movement this week among rail-
road managers looking to the establishment of better rates for
transiwrtation where they have been too low. Tlie trunk line
presidents are proposing an arrangement in the natiu-e of
pooling, and the Soutliem railroad officers also propose to
take measures whiclt will secure fair rates on traffic. In
addition to this the Eastern tnmk lines will make a reduction
of only 20 per cent on Chicago passenger rates to tlie World's
Fair next year, so tliat the earnings from that source wiU
probably be remunerative, whereas they might have Ijeen
placed so low as to give very little net profits; the reduction
too does not apply to fast trains.
Once more the stock and bond markets have been influenced
by reports apparently false—this time by London and Philadel-
phia dispatches that the Feb. interest on Reading pref. income

bonds would be paid in scrip or not paid at all. The parties
publisliing such reports here ought to be held to a strict
accountability, as they ought to know the character of their
special correspondents, and should be responsible for them. If
such information is correct it must be based on some substan-
tial knowledge, and the publishers should liave the credit for
it. If it is incorrect and false, it is simply bogus news circu-
lated to depress the prices of securities, and the authors ought
to be followed up and held responsible.
Tlie open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 4 to 6 per cent,
the average being .5 per cent. To-day rates on call were 4 to 3
per cent. Commercial paper is quoted at a(Qii% per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement to-day showed
an increase in bullion of £200,000, and the percentage of re;
89rve to liabilities was 46-78. against 43-85 last week ; the dis-
count rate remains unchanged at 3 per cent. The Bank of
France shows an increase of 2,735,000 francs in gold and
of 850,000 francs in silver. •
The New York Clearing-House banks in their statement of
Uov. 13 showed a decrease in the reserve held of $1,053,400
and a surplus over the required reserve of $2,678,930, against
$2,678,525 the previous week.

Foreign Exchange.—Both sterling and Continental ex-
change have been very strong lately, and the higher rates are
attributed mostly to the small supply of commercial bills. Tlie
4emaud lia.s been stimulated to some extent by tlie falling due
of sterling loans which were not renewed and the short inter-
est in sterling is said to be still considerable. Actual rates of
exchange are : Bankers sixty days' sterling, 4 8434^4 85; de-

Raih-oad bonds have been dull as a rule with less activity
than usual, even in special lines. There has apparently been
an attempt to depress Reading preferred incomes by getting
eports from London and PhUadelphia that the February
interest would not be paid in full, although earned
(according to the company's monthly statements), and
the bonds dechned about 2 per cent. The drive, however,
looks like an effort to depress prices for the purjiose of buying.
Atchison bonds met with a good, steady demand mthout
much change in prices. Northern Pacific consol. 5s are
steadier at Ti% and Chicago & Northern Pacific at 75,?^.
Two other 5 per cents of good standing are the Dulutli South
Shore & Atlantic at 101 and Chicago & Erie Ists at 101 J^.
These are both seUing lower than a short time ago. The Union
Pacific gold notes, 6s, due in 1894, are selling at 96, with 3 per
cent coupon due in February. The amount of th^ notts
outstanding has been reduced by purchase to $li, 117,000.
Texas & Pacific 1st 53 were depressed by rumors that tlie
December interest would not be paid, although the money is
said to be already in bank. The St. Louis Southwestern 1st 4s
also seU low at m%, owing to the prospect of smaUer earmugs
from cotton this year, which affects aU Texas rc«^. The
General Electric .5^, under the prospect of $8,000,000 newbonds, have declined to Wi%Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—Stocks have b?en
duU but prices are generally steady at the moderate declme
recentlv made. Reading has been pres«-d down by vague re-
port-i that the interest on the incomes m February would be
paid in scrip, or not i>aid at aU, which reports are hanUv worth
repeatin"- except to mention the small effect produced on the
stock North. Pac. pref. was at one time the strong feature of
the market, and it was reported that Mr. Vdlanrs iiarty were
buvers. North American also showed a Uttle aminatton
around 13. New England sold to-dav at 43>, but the pubUc in-
terest in this stock has greatly diminishetl. Clucago Gas and
Distilling & C. F. have still been among the mojt active stocks,
but the other popular industrials have been more quiet, and
some of them are at easier prices, as may be set>n by the range
elsewhere. National Laad common and pn-ferred are a
trifie easier and probablv waiting for the result of •'- tia-
tions with the Linseed Od people. The new in«l'. Uwunlisted, the U. S. Kubbi.'r Co., sold to-day from J

ANNUAL REPORTS.EvansTille & Terre Hante Railroad.
CFor the year ending June 30, 1893.^
The annual report of Mr. D. J. Mackey, President, remarksthat the yearly operations of the road for twelve years showthat the gross business has about doubled, while expenseshave increased but one hundred thousand dollars. This re-
sult is largely due to the constant increase in auxiliary earn-
ings, car service, switching, terminal rental", mail, express
and miscellaneous, these earnings reaching, at this time,
nearly two hundred thousand dollars. He says : "The great
future of your property is in the circumstance that you haveunderlying your tracks, as they now exist, the greatest de-
posit oif coal of a fine grade in the Western country, and the
nearest to the great consuming and distributing market of
this country, Chicago and the Northwest. We are nowmoving three hundred cars a day on your lines in aU direc-
tions, and the time is near at hand when you will move onethousand cars daily, the next five or six years. It may sur-
prise you when I say that ten years ago we did not haul a car
of coal as freight." - ~,^SDuring the fiscal year just ended a first general mortgage
bond of .$7,000,000, five per cent, was issued, bearing date of
April 1st, 1892. Of this amount $3,8.55,000 are for the pur-
pose of taking up at their maturity all the exising bonds, the
balance to be used in retiring the floating debt and used for
corporate purposes of the company, as the necessities of the
future, due to the constantly-iacreasing business, may re-
quire. The floating debt has been reduced $830,000, whichretires all of it excepting car trust notes, and as these obliga-
tions reach out over quite a per;'o 1 of time, it is believed that

fFor the year ending June 30, 1892.^
The President of this company, Mr. Charles Babbidge, saysin his report that the fiscal year has been changed to end withJune 30.
The breaking of the levees aloni? the Mis5i33ippi River inthe spring of this year interrupted for some lime the regularservice over the connections of the road, and caused tha diver-sion of a considerable amount of frei;?ht trafH :. From thiscause, and the lo* price of cjtton, which affected the earningsat the l)cal stations along the cotton-p^aducin^; section ot theroad in Tennessej, resulted tha decrease in the freight earn-ings. An estimate of the extent to which these ciuses hiveaffected the earnini?s may be formed from the fact fiat thefreight eirnings fir the year endin< December 31, 1891. were81,667,731, or $141,747 greater than for the year 1890.

Chicago Great Western— Cliicago St. Paul & KansasCity.—The Chicago Great Western Railway Co. was organizedunder the laws of Illinois in January, 1892, for the purpose offacilitating a reorganization of the capital accounts of theChicago St. Paul & Kansas City Railway Co. It is authorizedto issue $15,000,000 4 per cent debenture stock, interest pay-able January and July in gold ; $15,000,000 5 per cent jsre-
ferred stock A, dividend contingent upon earnings, payablehalf-yearly in gold
; $10,000,000 4 per cent preferred stock B,dividend contingent upon earnings, and §30,000,000 commonstock.In August 18^ a committee which had been appointpd by
the holders of the first mortgage bonds issued by the ChicagoSt Paul & Kansas City and Minnesota & Northwestern rail-
vray companies met with representatives of the holders ofthe junior securities and agreed upon the following plan ofreadjusting the capital accounts :
That the Chicago Great Western Company should assumethe rolling stock lease warrants ($1,723,430) and the sterlingpriority 5 per cent loan ($3,823,150) of the Chicago St. Paul &Kansas City Company, and should offer
(a) To the holders of tne first mortg-isre bonds of the Mlunesota ANorthwestern and Chicago St. Paul & Kansas City railway compa-nies—In exchanKC for each $1,000 hond with coupon of Jan., 1803, and
all Rubsequeut coupons, $500 4 per cent debenture stock entitled toInterest from lat July, 1892, and *600 5 per cent preferred stock Aentitled to dividend from 1st July, 1892.
(b) To the holders of the ticneral mortgage bonds of the Chicago St.Paul & Kansas City Railway Company -In exchange for each *1,000 bond with coupon of Jan., 1893, and
all subsequent coupons, $1,000 4 per cent preferred stock B.(c) To the holders of the income bonds of the Chicago St. Paul & Kan-sas City Railway Company an option for 60 days after the scheme ofreorganization has been accepted by a majority of the first mortgagebondholders to pay an assessment of 10 per cent in cash on the nom-inal amount of their bonds and to make over the bonds in exchangefor twice the amount of cash paid iu 4 per cent prefen-ed stock Band twice the amount of the 'bonds made over in common stock ofthe Chicago Great Western Railway Company. Holders failing toexercise this option or to pay the assessment within the time speci-fied shallbeentitled to exchange their income bonds for 150 per centin common stock of the Chicago Great Western Railway Company.
(d) To the holders of the common stock of the Chicago St. Paul &Kansas City Railway Company an option for 60 days after thescheme of re organiz.ation has been accepted by a ma,jority of thefirst mortgage bondholders to pay an assessment of 10 per cent incash on the nominal amount of their common stock, and to makeover the common stock in exch^ji'-'e tor twice the amount of cashpaid in 4 pei cent preferred stock B, and an amount equal to thestock made over fn comhion stock of the Chicago Great WesternRailway Company. Holders falling to exercise this option or to paythe assessment within the time specified shall be entitled to ex-change their common stock for half the amount In the commou stockof the Chicago Great Western Railway Company.These propositions have been accepted by the holders of a
majority of each class of securities, and the reorganizationwill be completed as soon as the new securities can be pre-pared and issued.In writing of the foregoing plan Mr. A. B. Slickney says
"The plan of the Chicago Great Western Company presentssome unique features in the capital organization of an Amer-ican railway company. You will see that it proposes to issueno bonds. But in lieu of the ordinary first mortgage bonds itissues two classes of stock. The first, known as 'debenturestock,' has a fixed interest of 4 per cent^ the second, knownas 'preferred stock A,' carries with it a contract to devote netearnings after payment of interest on the debenture stock, upto 5 per cent per annum, in payments of dividends on thisstock. The agreement to pay dividends on the debenturestock and preferred stock A is secured by a deed of trust andagreement with a trustee, which provides that in case thecompany makes default in its contract in regard to such in-terest or dividend the trustee (acting under the direction of afinance committee which for the time being acts as a quasiboard of directors) may take possession of the property andoperate it and appropriate the earnings. The finance com-mittee IS elected by the holders of these two classes of stockonly. The trust deed contains no power of sale of the prop-erty, the only remedy in case of default being a change ofmanagement in the manner s-tated. The trust deed containsanother rather unique provision: That in case the companymakes good its default the management of the property shallagain revert to the board of directors."
Colorado Coal &Iron DeTelopment Co.—It is proposed toissue §650,000 five-year 6 per cent collateral trust bonds thecollateral being $900,000 in land notes. The schedule valueof the lands for which these notes were given in part pay-
ment on the basis of the price at which they were soldamounts to about $1,.350,000, and constitutes the security(aside from the company's obligation) for the notes, whichwill be deposited with a trust company as trustee for thecollateral truast bonds. The bonds are reported to have beentaken at par, less a commission, and the proceeds will pay offthe entire floating debt.
Distilling & Cattle Feeding Company.—Dow, Jones & Co.say of the recent reports about new acquisitions by this com-pany that five outside distilleries, heretofore oppositions, havebeen purchased, but there will be no issue of stock or bonds topay for these properties. The distilleries purchased are theDodson, of Cincinnai ; the Star and the Crescent, of Pekin,III. ; the Central, of St. Louis, and the Nebraska City. Thesecompanies may and may not be incorporated with the Distil-ling & Cattle Feeding Co., but all opposition of importance hasbeen acquired and harmony is assured. The next dividend,declared in December, will be 1}4 P- c.
East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia.—The annual meetingof the stockholders of the East Tennessee Virginia & GeorgiaRailway was held at Knoxville this week. The programmedecided upon by the controlling interests in this city was car-ried out, the Richmond Terminal Company getting the greaterpart of the board, while the Brice-Thomas interests retain animportant representation.

mately to connect with the Adirondack and Delaware & Hud-son near Glens Falls.
General Electric Company.—A circular, issued under dateof Nov. 15, to the holders of the common stock of this com-pany, says: "In view of the increasing business of the com-pany and the consequent necessity for increased workingcapital, the directors of the General Electric Company havevoted to issue the balance, amounting to $6,000,000, of the§10,000,000 gold coupon debenture bonds heretofore author-ized by vote of the stockholders. The other $1,000,000 ofthese bonds are now outstanding and the $6,000,000 now to beissued are to be identical with them in all respects."These bonds are of the denomination of $1,000 each, prin-
cipal payable June 1, 1922, interest payable June 1 and De-cember 1 in each year, both payable in gold." * * *
"They provide that if the company shall at any time mort-gage its property, said bonds, if then outstanding, shall be se-
cured by such mortgage, ratably with any and all other in-
debtedness secured th« reby."Any of the $6,000,000 oE bonds hereby offered for subscrip-
tion may be converted at any time at the option of the re-
spective holders into shares of the common capital stock of theGeneral Electric Company at the rate of one share of stockfor each $120 in bonds, and such right to convert is endorsedon each bond. The company hereby offers to holders of its
common stock of record on the books of the company at theclose of business Nov. 38, 1992, the right to subscribe for thesaid $6,000,OOOJof gold deb. bonds at par and accrued interest."

district court of Harris County, Texas. The purchaser hasnow to make settlement with certain creditors, and will

Inter-State Commerce—Long and Short Hauls.—TheInter-State Commerce Commission in Washington has just
announced its decision in the cases brought by the GeorgiaRailroad Commission against the Cincinnati New Orleans &Texas Pacific Railway Company, the Louisville & Nashville
Railway Company, and other railroad and steamship fines,
seven cases in all, involving rates for longer and shorter hauls
from Cincinnati and other Ohio River points, and from NewYork and other North Atlantic ports to points in southern ter-
ritory.
The long-and-short-haul clause of the Inter-State Commercelaw is construed by the Commission in the light of more than
five years' operation of the law and decisions heretofore rend-
ered by the Comnnission and the courts. The main points de-
cided, as reported in the N. V. Times' dispatch are as follows:
1. The fact of a receivership for a defendant carrier subsequent to
complaint should not Interfere with the progress of a proceedingbrought merely tor the purpose of railway regulation. 2. The phrase

IMilladelphIa A Reading—Central of New ItTMj.—XJkTrenton, N. J., November 14, additional affidavita were flied
in the coal combine suits between John P. Stockton, infor>
mant, and the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey andothers. The aflfldavits were thoae of A. A. McLieod, Presidentof the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad, and other Readingortlrora.
President McLeod's affidavit quotes largely from the sup-plemental information filed by the Attorney-Oenoral, whichcharges that the Philadelphia & Reading and Central Rail-
roads disobeyed the order of the Court and operated their
roads to diminish competition in the anthracite coal, and ar-
bitrarily increase<l the price to the people of New Jersey. Mr,McLeod swears that it is absolutely untrue. TheaflSdavit fur'
ther states that immediately u(X)n the service, August 81, the
Central Company re-entered on the possession of all its prop-erty, and that the Philadclpliia & Reading Company baaobeyed the order of the Court.On the 15th the Reading suit was before Chancellor McOUl
at Trenton. In the matter of the Bivston & Amboy Companyan extension of time to November 25 was granted in whichto file affidavits. In the case of the Jersey Central receiver-
ship the final argument is set down for Thursday, December 1.
Texas & Paclflc—The falling off in the Texas & Pacific
earnings, due to the reduced cotton movement, has created
some uneasiness as to the payment of interest due Ue<;. 1. Weare officially informed, however, that the December couponwill be paid.
Third Arenne Railroad, New York City.—The stockhold-
ers of the Third Avenue Railroad Company held their annualmeeting and elected the following directors : Henry Hart,
William Remsen, S. S. Riker, Robert George Remsen, RobertW. Taller, John E. Parsons, Edward Lauterbach, Albert 8.
Rosenbaum, Simon M. Ehrlich, Abraham Ayres, ArthurLeary, William H. Webb and A. J. Eiias. President Elias
reported the capital stock of the company had been increased
from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 since the erection of the cable
road began, and will be increased another$l,000.000 November31. It is estimated that the cable road will be completed byMay 1, 1898. During the year 34,135,477 passengers were car-
ried. Receipts from the horse cars decreased $51,000, but there
was $81,000 increase from the cable road. Total receipts for
the year were $1,739,723; the expenditures were $1,463,719.
Toledo St. Lonis & Kansas City.—At Toledo, Ohio, Nov.14 a special meeting of the preferred shareholders of the Tol-
edo St. Louis & Kansas City Railroad Company was held to
vote upon the authorizing a consolidated mortgage of $18,-
500,000 on the property. More than three-fourths of thepreferred stock was represented, and there was a large ma-jority cast against the proposition.
Trnnk Line Rates.-There was a meeting this week of the
Joint Committee of the trunk lines and the Central Traffic As-sociation, a£ which it was voted to apply to east-boimd rates
the principle which has prevailed regarding west-bound rates
for the last four years, of adjusting rates by different lines so
as to preserve to each road an equitable share in the total
traffic.
The Tribune's report says that the agreement reached giree
authority to a board of three persons to grant such rates to
ei^h line as will divide the tonnage fairly. The board con-
sists of George R. Blanchard, Chairman or Commissioner of
the Central Traffic Association, comprising the roaiis l)etween
Cliicago and St. Louis and the Western termini of the tninklines; J. F. Goddard, Chairman of the Trunk Line Associa-
tion, and Aldace F. Walker, Commissioner of the Western Traf-
fic Association, which is now defunct. "The new plan doeanot comprehend any 8pecifte<l percenta^ies of business
among the different roads. But if under mamtained rates anyroad falls below the amount of business that it thinks it is
justly entitled to, after representations to the board of three
commissioners, that board may. if it sees fit. allow a lower or
differential rate to the complaining line that will adjust the
inequality. While avoiding the semblance of an iron-clad
pool the railroad managers hope by the new agreement to
secure the practical benefits of a pool in stable rates and a di-
vision of business in accordance with the relative strength of
each road as to fast trains, terminal conveniences, etc. Mostof the trunk line presidents were present at the conference.
The Eastern and Western roads have voted to restore all
rates, east-bound and west-bound, to the regular tariff schedule
on December 1, and fo bold rates firm hereafter. The tariff
will be as follows, in oents, on the basis of 100 pounds,between New York and Chicago : _ . ^WeHtoHnd

BUFFALO ROCHESTER & PITTSBURG.
ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1893.
To the Stockholders of the Buffalo Rochester & Pittsburg
Railway Company.The following is a condensed statement of the result of the
operations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892:
Gross earnings $2,999,661 71Against latt year, san.e period 2,542,158 22

Net Income $248,448 30Extraordinary expenses and improvements 54,853 82
Profit $193,594 48Against last year, same period 74,462 29
The gros3 earnings in all departments show satisfactory in-
creases as compared with the figures of the previous year,although the rate received par toa per mile is slightly less,
chiefly caused by a reduction in the coke rates, necessitatedby the general depression of the iron market. As predictedin our last reporti slightly higher rates of freight prevailed onbituminous coal.
The improvement in general results is due, therefore, almostentirely to the increased traffic, coupled wita a decrease in theexpense of movement.The tonnage moved was the largest in the history of the
company, as follows
:
Bituminous coal 1,675,684Last year 1,364,454

of mam track re-laid with 71-pound steel rails; sidings in-creased 4-19 miles; 26 miles of track ballasted with graveT andcmders; 27 miles of fences re-built. 1
In order to provide suitable facilities at Reading Junction, inear Mumford for our connection with the Philadelphia &>^?^"?,n
R^' 19 acres of land were purchased at a cost of$4, im UO and additional tracks put in at a cost of $3,000 00. *
EQUIPMENT.There was expended for new rolling stock, as follows:
Nine locomotives $84,323 80Three hundred and twenty-one freight andservice cars 171,377 32
$255 706 12The account was credited for sixty-nine freight and ser-vice oars wrecked and destroyed, charged to operatingexpenses 21,857 62
Making a net increase of $233,848 50Of the above equipment eight cars were built at the Com-
pany's shops. In addition, eight locomotives were purchasedat a net cost of $64,049 to replace an equal number condemned,and the whole amount charged to operating expenses.
BONDED DEBT.There were issued during the year $550,000 00 of the gen-
eral mortgage five per cent bonds. $149,000 00 car trust bondsmatured and were paid, and new series Nos. 8 and 9 were is-
sued for $353,000 00, making a net increase of $103,000 00 incar trust bonds. A payment of $3,000 00 was made on thereal estate mortgages. The net result is an increase of$650,000 00 in the total bonded debt of the Company. Thefunds thus obtained were applied to the reduction of thefioating debt caused by expenditures for new construction androlling stock in this and former years.
J0HN30NBURG & BRADFORD RAILROAD.In the month of November, after a long delay in the ne;;o-
tiations with the New York Lake Erie & Western RR. Co.,the contract for trackage rights over their line between How-ard Junction and Johnsonburg, was finally modified, so as topermit your Company to lease a road chartered under thename of the Johnsonburg & Bi-idford Rfl. Cj., extending be-tween Howard Junction and Mount Jewett, and to arrangefor the building of the same ; and upon its completion to ussin connection therewith the New York Lake Erie & WesternRR. tracks from Mount Jewett to Johnsonburg.
Besides furnishing us an independent road, the great ad-vantage of this line in cost of operation over the one nowused is conceded. Although three miles and a fraction longerthan the present line, thq maximuoi grade is reduced from119 feet to the mile, to 79 feet ; and the Kmzua Viaduct, aconstant source of danger, is avoided.The Johnsonburg <Sr Bradford Railroad has been leased by
your Company at an annual rental of 6 per cent, based on its
actual cost, now estimated at $675,000 00. * * * *
CLEARFIELD & MAH0\ING RAILWAY.On the 10th of May an important traffic contract was en-
tered into for the term of fifty years between your company,the New York Central & Hudson River RR. Co., as lessee ofthe Beech Creek RR., and the Philadelphia & Raiding RR.Co., by which we agree to build a railroad 26-1 miles inlength, of the best standard, with eighty-pound steel rails,
and iron bridges, and the necessary sidings, terminals, &c.,from a point on our main line 3-59 miles south of Du Bois to
the Beech Creek RR., in the tiwn of Clearfield, at a total esti-
mated cost of $1,100,000. This link will form part of a
through line to all points on the Philadelphia & Reading Sys-tem and its connections.In order to conform to the laws of the State of Pennsylvania
a charter was taken out in the name of the Clearfield & Ma-honing Railway Co., and an agreement was entered into withthem on the part of your Company to lease the same by guar-anteeing the bonds at 5 per cent, and the stock at 6 per cent,
or an average guarantee of ^% P^"^ cent on tha actual cost ofthe road. « * » «The operations of the Rochester & Pittsburg Coal & Iron
Company for the fiscal year ending June SOtli, 1893, showsatisfactory results. Large expenditures were made for nec-essary improvements and equipment. The proflt-i for theyear are not included in the earnings of the Railway Company.During the year your company expended a larger amount
than ever before on the rolling stock and road bed, materiallyraising the standard of its physical condition, the benefits of
which will be manifested in the increased ability to handle amuch larger tonnage at a lower cost of operation. A commo-dious car repair shop has been completed at Lincoln Park andstocked with the requisite machinery and tools.
In the month of February the net income for the year, after
deducting all fixed charges, reached that point where it wasdeemed advisable to inaugurate the payment of quarterly
dividends on the preferred stock at the rate of 5 per cent per
annum. Two such dividends, amounting to $150,000, havebeen declared and paid.
I desire to express my thanks to the officers of the companyfor the very efficient services rendered by them.Statements and statistics of the operations for the year are
submitted herewith.RespectfuUv,
ARTHUR G. YATES, President.

the country has been broken by copioua rains, producinggenerally IwnefloiAl reHulti. Autumn-soirn grain U reportedaa doing fitirly well. Lighter markclings of both wint«r andspring wheat are accepted aa evidence that visible supply baaabout reached maximum, and will bo followed by a leaaenlDg
movament. The export movement in breadstuff* and curedmeata has been of somewhat more encouraging volume.Belief in a greatly reduced yield of cotton has attracted
additional investing demand and further stimulated valuee.
OlBcial announcement has been given that the Erie Canalwill be closed at midnight December 5 and the smaller canatoin this State at midnight November 30, unlesi sooner cloaedby ice. General business is of seasonable character and pro*portions.
Lard on the spot has been dull, but prices have advancedsharply in sympathy with a rise in contracts, and the close
was firm at OSO^Q-OO;. for prime City, 10-25c. for prime West-ern and lO'oOc. for refined for the Continent. The speculation
in lard for future delivery has been more active, at rapidly
advancing prices, due to continued small receipt) of swine at
primary points, and the close was firm.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has again been of
very liberal proportions. During the early part of the week con-
tinued buying by domestic spinners, an increased business at
Liverpool, with private advices of probable early settlement
of the strike among English mill operatives, and also increasing
belief in a material reduction of the crop, stimulated liberal
investment and a sharp rise in values. Subsequent partial mod-
ification of some of the strengthening features and free liquida-
tion to secure profits resulted in an acute reaction. During
Saturday and the mornina; hours of Monday prices settled oil
some 11@12 points, but commenced to improve Monday after-
noon, and by Wednesday evening had advanced 45 points
from lowest, with free buying of all leading months. Yester-
day buying orders were less plentiful, and a report was circu-
lated that the anti-option (so-called) measure would be
promptly acted upon at next session of the Senate, influences
that induced selling out of long contracts and led to igc. de-
cline. Practically the same features prevailed to-day, and a
further decline of about 20 points left the market in an un-
settled condition. Cotton on the spot sold slowly, and after
advancing Jgc. closes at i^c. reaction. Middling upland ^l^c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 3, 144,700
Dales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week4,830 bales, including for export, 3,030 for consumption,— for speculation and 1,600 on contract. The following are
the official quotations for each day of the past week

In the Oomra and Khnnileish districts the weatherhas l>een very favorable all week, and as a result the agents in thevartooa districts continue to send more favorable reports of the srow-lug crop than were current a month ago.

BREADS TUFFS.Fbidat, November 18, 1892.
There has been no improvement to the demand for flour^
and prices are weak, and it is quite probable that moderate
concessions could be obta ined on a good-siz- d order. Corn
meal has been moderately active and firm for choice stock
but low grades have been dull and steady. To-day the market
for flour was quiet. Com meal was firm but quiet.
The speculation in wheat has been dull and prices have
weakened to a moderate extent under weaker foreign advices^
a continued free crop movement in the Northwest and large
increases in the available supply. The spot market has been
fairly active and comparatively firm, shippers being moderate
buyers. The sales yesterday included Nc, 2 hard winter at
V^'c. under December delivered ; No. 8 red winter at December
price f. o. b. and ungraded red winterat74J^976%c. To-day,
however, the market was more active and higher on a report
that Russia intends to establiRh an export duty on wheat.
The spot market was firm but quiet. Sales included No. 3
sp»ing at 4'^c. under Decem'rer delivered and ungraded r<:d

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.New York, Friday, P. M., November IS. 1892.
Whatever may be the effect of the Democratic victory in
other departments of the dry goods trade it has neitherchecked the demand for nor the upvs'ard movement in prices
of staple cotton goods. This week there has baen a largenumber of buyers in the market whose attention has beengiven mostly to brown, bleached and colored cottons, withthe result that agents have booked numerous orders, many of
considerable magnitude, for future delivery, while stock?,
where carried, have undergone a course of depletion very grat-ifying to holders. All the leading makes are sold ahead for
some months to come and other styles occupying a secondaryposition are better conditioned than for a long time past.
Buyers show no traces of late hesitation. They haveapparently made up their minds that they haveseen the lowest prices in all staple lines forthis and next season certainly, if not for a longer perio 1, andare acting as though they were apprehensive of still furtheradvances. The relative position of supply and demand makesthe situation strong on its own merits, even if it were notfurther backed up by the activity and rapid rise in the mar-ket for raw material. Outside of the class of goods referredto there is no activity, however. It is still too early for anextended business in spring prints, ginghams and similar fab-rics are quiet, and trade in the woolen departments slow,liocal jobbers are still inactive in all branches except holidaylines, but an improving business is reported in other jobbingcentres, although the open character of the season so far is asubject of complaint. Collections coniuue generally satis-factory.
DOMBSTic Cotton Goods.—The exports of cotton goodsfrom this port for the week ending November 15 were 4,616packages, valued at §371,034, their destination being to thepoints specified in the table below:

corded. These have mainly been in lines not hitherto moved,but in some instances they show a further rise in some lead-ing makes previously advanced and further sold ahead on thahigher range of values. An idea of the general character ofthe upward movement is conveyed by the fact that this week'schanges include brown sheetings, drillo, bleached shirtings,cambric muslins, wide sheetings, kid-finished cambrics,silesias, jeans, denims, checks, stripes, cottoaades, camletjeans, cheviots, ducks and plaids. Staple and solid colorprints also show a hardening tendency, some having advancedSlightly and others baing held "at value," while the Amos-keag staple ginghams have been raised 2^£ per cent. Asstated above, business in new season fancy prints has notopened up yet, and the price of these is still a debatablepoint; but it would be no surprise to buyers to fini themdearer, either by the shortening of discounts or an actual ad-vance in quotations.

Domestic Woolens.—The dull interval previously referred
to has been prolonged throughout thepast week, and new busi-
ness has run within restricted limits in all lines of men's- wearwoolen and worsted trouserings and suitings, whether ieavy-weights or for spring trade. Agents report an increase incancellations of orders for the.latter, with a disposition to
attribute it to the result of the elections, but there do not ap-pear to be any definite grounds for such an assumption.Business in overcoatings has taken a voider range, as a num-ber of new lines have been put upon the mirket, and fair
orders have been recorded for beavers, kerseys, friezes andchinchillas, particularly the first two named. Spring cloak-
Ings were also in fair request; satinets, cotton warps and doe-skins jeani continue dull. Woolen and worsted dress goodshave ruled quiet throughout. Spot goods are in slow request,
and spring orders for the first round of deliveries are mostlyall placed.
FOREION Dry Goods.—Badness 'n this department has im-proved during the week in all lines suitable for the holidaytrade, to which buyers for immediate delivery are chiefly
confining their attention. Besides these, stapl-^s in fine woolenfabrics and silk materials have been purchased to a moderateextent, while seasonable fancies have ruled dull anl irregular.
There has been but little doing for spring trade pending the
arrival of new supplies. Any probable tariff changes are
regarded as too far off to affect the present or the immediatefuture of this market.
Importations of Dry Goods.The importations of dry goods at this port for the week
ending Nov. 17, and since Jan. 1, 1893, and the same facts for
the corresponding periods of last year are as follows:

INDEBTEDNESS AND VALUATION OFCALIFORNIA CO UNTIES.
The valuation and indebtedness of each county in
the State of California has been reported for the yesr
1893, and the returns made to State Comptroller E. P.
Colgan show that the total value of all property in Cali-
fornia is at present $1,275,816,228. This total is madeup of the following items : Real estate, $797,221,036 ;
improvements on real estate, $249,630,321 ;personal
property, including money, $187,008,874, and railroad
«3ses3ment, $41,956,000. The State's assessed valua-
tion in 1891 was $1,239,647,063, and the increase for
the past year is $36,169,165.
During the same period the aggregate Indebtedness
of all the California counties has been cut down from
$6,833,289 in 1891 to $6,256,301 in 1892, the decrease
being $576,988. In 1889 the total indebtedness of the
counties was $7,285,826, and the amount of the
decrease for the past three years is $1,029,524.
We give below a short financial statement for each
<3onnty in California, all the figures being taken from
the State Comptroller's report for 1892. The tax rate
in each case is that levied upon property outside the
limits of incorporated cities and towns, and it includes
a road tax, from which property inside of cities and
towns is exempt. The city and county of San Fran-
cisco are under the same government, and the debt of
the county, as reported below, includes that incurred
for city purposes. A similar statement giving the
returns for the year 1891 was published in the Chrok-
ICLE, vol. 54, page 535, and it may be found interest-
ing at present for the purpose of comparison.
The details of the bonds issued by many of these
counties will be found in our Statb and City Sup-
plement.indebtedness and valuation by counties.
