The full details of olearings for the week covered by tne above statement w ill be given next Saturday. We cannot, of oourse, furnish them to-day, bank olearings being made up by the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and henoe In the above the last twenty-four hours of the week have to be In all oases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.

W e present below our usual detailed tlgures for the pre­vious week, covering the returns for the period ending with Saturday noon, November 19, and the results for the corres­ponding week In 1897.1896 and 1895 are also given. The to­tals for the week in 1898 for New York and for the whole country are tbe heaviest in our record. In comparison with tbe preceding week there is an increase in the aggregate exchanges of three hundred and fifteen million dollars, and at. New York alone the gain is two hundred and forty eight millions. Contrasted with the week of 1897 the total for the whole country shows an increase of 36-0 pet cent. Compared with the week of 1896 the current returns reoord a gain of 41-6 per cent, and the excess over 1895 is 57’9 per cent. Outside of New York the increase over 1897 n 16’3 per cent. The excess over 1896 reaches 26’4 per oent and making comparison with 1895 the gain is seen to oe 24-2 per cent.

STREET RAILWAY SUPPLEMENT.A new number of our Stkebt Ra ilw a y SUPPi.k-

ui .s t , revised to date, accompanies the present i3sne of the Ohkon' k i .k. The Supplement contains edit­orial articles on the following subjeots.

CONVERTIBLE CARS.STREET RAILRO AD ORGANIZATION.DOUBLE-TRUCKED CARS.INTER-URBAN RAILROADS.GROWING USE OF LONG CARS.STREET TRANSPORTATION COSTS IN NEW YORK.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.No new general influences affecting values have

been apparent in our markets this week. Fresh developments of conditions active all through the month, summarizes the varying state of affairs which has existed. Among these developments the more prominent were— the changing phases of the Peace Congress in Paris indicating as the week closes a settlement of the terms of peace; the decided weak­ness and further fall in rates for foreign exchange; and the monetary in in Europe, an emphaticexpression of which is to be found in the noteworthy rue of the rate of interest by the Bank of Germany to C per cent

To these general influences should be added rumors ami movement- of a special character looking to or promising an adjustment of matters in controversy between certain competitive roads, such as the disputes with reference to extensions which hare been endangering the harmonious rela­tion of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, also the coal trade contentions which ar- proving -o disastrous to the values of coal road stocks that have for long years been among our most reliable investment properties, and likewise the set­tlement of the Canadian rate war between the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk. Indeed, at the moment the spirit of compromise is in the air. How far it will become effective in closing up the Breaches that threaten or exist in many directions we cann o undertake to say. Concessions are the tendency of the hour, the feature of the times. TIub, uo b : v . springs out of the prospect now before our in­dustrial clft-sses of a terra of business prosperity. But »s>.de from that, it finds encouragement in the fact

have referred to on previous occasions, that u.e consolidating and centralizing process which has marked our railroad history of recent years is a force working more and more for peace. Capital wants remuneration, and now that the owner of the roads is getting nearer and nearer to and be­coming the larger part of the management, some­time* controlling every competitive property in a given section, differences arc being kept in restraint and not to often allowed to run into destructive struggle*.

GermaoyI p#f dgn

raw e lust Saturday by the imperial Bank of "• ,f r'v " discount from 5J per cent to

t W» have referred to above as a leading inci­

dent of the week. This is a higher point than any rate reached since 1883, during the financial crisis at Paris. Not even in the Baring panic of 1890 did the rate rise above 5£ per cent. The present action by the Bank was, though, expected; on Friday of last week, when the open market rate at Berliu was 5§ per cent, it was regarded as certain that an advance in the Bank rate could not long be deferred. Now that the movement has become an accomplished fact, it is somewhat of a surprise that its potency has been so cir­cumscribed. No special effect was noticeable on the London open market rate except that on Monday that rate was firmer at 34 to 3f per cent; but on Tuesday the market was easier again, especially for short bills, which were reported at 3 7-16 per cent against 3£ per cent on the previous day, while yesterday the rate was 3^ per cent. Neither did the open market rate at Berlin follow the Bank rate, it being without change on Monday, while on Tuesday the un­official rate fell to 5 f@ 5 i per cent. Private advices, however, reported an urgent demand in Berlin on that day for money on call at 8 per cent and that the rate for the settlement was from o f to|5$ per cent; later cables noted an improved feeling on the Bourse and still lower open market rates. In Paris the advance at Berlin seemed to be without influence ; that is (o say, the Paris open market rate remained unchanged at 3 per cent. Altogether, therefore, the indications, as we write, seem to point to the liquidation of specu­lative accounts at Berlin without causing disturbance at the discount markets of other European centres.

It is a significant incident that in face of the high interest rate in Berlin foreign exchange rates fe ll m New York. A t first ‘ thought. Jone would [have sup­posed that our exchange market would have reflected the 6 per cent at Berlin by an advance. That would have been the case had the exchange rates ruling been natural and not wholly speculative. As we pointed out last week, the speculative situa tion of that market was somewhat critical. By critical, we mean needing a little easing of the strain by lowering the rate and providing for another inflow of gold. So it happeng that this week the investment demand for bills is incon spieuous. Another important feature is that the shipments of merchandise compared with the October movement are increasing. This latter condition is evident as the current engagements of breadstuffs for export and the weekly shipments of merchandise are in excess of a year ago, and a year ago the No­vember total was in excess of this year s October total, which we referred to last week. The coming De­cember exports, too, are likely to be larger than either the October or the November movement; hence with tlie accumulated trade balance as it stands and these larger additions in prospect, the size of the load to be carried if there is no limit put to the speculation in progress, can be easily estimated. We only mention these facts to show how unpromising as a money­making venture the so-called “ investment’' pur chases of exchange are likely to prove. Under existing circumstances it is no surprise that on th withdrawal from the market of “ investors, rates should have dropped even in face of the rise in the interest rate at Berlin. We hav all along thought that possibly the money pay ment we might consent to make to Spain in settling up the details of peace would be so considerable as t help later in the season to steady our exchange miu

T H E C H R O N IC LE . 1079N ovember 26, 1898.]

ket. Now that the total is apparently determined, and is so small in amount, only $20,000,000, the affair has become an unimportant element in the problem; besides it will most likely be several months before the appropriations can be passed making even that item available.

I f current indications are worth anything, import­ant developments may be expected in the anthracite coal trade in the near future. During the last three or four weeks information has come to us from sev­eral different sources telling of some arrangements on foot, but which could not yet be disclosed, for work­ing a change in the anthracite situation. The present week these reports have found their way to the Stock Exchange, and yesterday there were very confident statements that all differences between the companies had been definitely adjusted. Very naturally the prices of the anthracite shares have sharply advanced. A change in the anthracite situation will be welcome in more quarters than one. I t is open to question whether the reports speaking of the unsatisfactory condition of the trade which have been circulated with so much persistency of late have not been greatly exaggerated and purposely exaggerated. And yet it must be admitted that there is much room for improvement. Indeed, there has been something anomalous about the existing state of things. The anthracite fields are so limited, and the mines in them and the transportation agencies from them so controlled that despite all laws against pools and trusts it ought to be an easy matter to place the trade on some sensible basis where the interests of consumers might be protected, and yet those engaged in the industry be allowed to make some profit out of it. As it is, the miners are suffering, the mine-owners are making nothing, the carriers are faring worse and worse, and even the dealers in coal, wholesale and retail— following the practices of the railroads— have been cutting so much among themselves that their plight is as bad as any of the others, and many of them have been forced out of business. The consumer is getting his coal some­what cheaper to be sure, but at what a sacrifice to those catering to his needs ! The sooner such a de­pressing situation is remedied the better for all con­cerned.

The foregoing also helps to throw light upon the attacks which have recently been made upon Del­aware & Hudson. We say “ attacks,” because it is impossible to resist the impression that the pur­pose has been to damage the property in the eyes of investors rather than to present an un­biased statement of its condition. There has also been evident manipulation of the price of the com­pany's shares. On one day last week the stock was inactive all day, with very few dealings, until five minutes before the close of the Exchange, when over twenty-five hundred shares were thrown on the market, and instead of securing the best price obtainable the seller was evidently anxious to make the price as low as possible. We do not claim to know whether the dividend on the stock will be maintained on its present basis or will have to be reduced. Those closest to the man­agement seem to think that the necessity for a redaction will not arise. One thing is perfectly obvious. Among all the talk and gossip regarding the property, the only definite, tangible fact that has developed clearly and indisputably un«

favorable in its character has been the condition of the anthracite trade. That has been a long-con­tinued adverse element from which the Delaware & Hudson has suffered in common with the other anthracite companies. I f the “ bear” op­erators on the Street had not had that in­fluence on their side, all their movements must have miscarried. Even as it is the position of the Delaware & Hudson must be regarded, in a very important particular at least, as one of great strength. Its capitalization consists almost entirely of stock. During all recent years it has been the policy of the management to replace the company’s bond issues, as they matured, with stock, and to-day while there is $35,000,000 of stock, there is only $5,000,000 of bonds. A property so circumstanced is obviously not only in position to respond very readily to an improvement in the trade on which its prosperity is largely dependent, but well prepared to stand a further siege of adversity should the depression in anthracite coal unfor­tunately be prolonged.

Money on call, representing bankers’ balances, has loaned at 3 per cent and at 2 per cent at the Stock Exchange during the week, with the hulk of the busi­ness and the average at 24 per cent. The higher rate was recorded on Monday, but very little money was loaned at 3 per cent on that day. Thereafter the range was from 24 to 2 per cent. Banks and trust companies quote 24 per cent as the minimum. Time money is in good supply, but the demand is mod­erate, and rates are 24 per cent for thirty days, 3 per cent for sixty to ninety days, 3 to 34 per cent for four months and 34 per cent for five to six months on good Stock Exchange collateral. The banks report a limited supply of commercial paper, while brokers say that there is a fair amount offering and that the demand is good for the best names. Rates are 34 to 34 per cent for sixty to ninety-day endorsed bills receivable, 34 to 44 per cent for prime and 44@54 per cent for good four to six months' single names. The transfers of money through the Treasury have been moderate this week and chiefly to the South and to the Southwest. Banks report a comparatively light movement of money, and also that the institutions in the principa Western cities and in the Northwest are unusually well supplied.

Bankers express the opinion that money will be moderately active for the remainder of the year at least. They base their judgment upon the fact that the bank reserves are low; that some of the larger institutions have only a small margin above the required reserve; that loans have been greatly ex­panded, now amounting to unprecedentedly large figures, and that there is more or less tension in the foreign financial situation, which, should it be­come acute from any cause, would probably be re­flected here. No stringency in the money market is apprehended but it is felt that, considering the cir­cumstances and the season of the year, fairly high rates should rule. Money is in better demand at the principal interior points, reflecting increased business requirements, and bankers claim that there is no reason why there should not be an aug­mented inquiry here. The plan for the re­suscitation of the Tradesmen’s National Bank has been abandoned, and the institution will go into vol­untary liquidation. There is said to be enough cash on hand with which to pay off about $1,700,000 of the deposits, and good assets can be realized upon in four

It is reported that considerable amounts of money belonging to New York and Chi­c a g o banks are being loaned in Berlin through the largest of the institutions in that city. The principal feature of the exchange market during the week has been the liberal supply of cotton bills.

0 UR GOLONlA L PROBLEM.Wo take it that the ultimatum submitted by our

Peace Commissioners on Monday, to the Spanish delegates at Paris, embodied the formal decision o f our Government to retain and administer through its own officers the Philippine Islands. We assume, also, that Spain will yield to this ultimatum. Some momentary doubt was caused on Monday after­noon by a cabled misinterpretation of the angry re- mariis made outside th'e Paris co.uncil-room by Sefior Monturo Bios of *the Spanish .Commission. Sefior

N o v e m b e r 26, 1898.J THE CHRONICLE. 1031Rios did, it appears, declare his personal unwilling ness to negotiate on any such terms. Bat in the first place the Spanish Government’s decision cannot be regulated by any single delegate at Paris, and in the second place the motive of every Spanish public man to rid himself of indi­vidual responsibility is obvious. We should suppose that the more recent reports that Spain, while sub­mitting to the inevitable, will reject the proffered in­demnity of $20,000,000, are a similar concession to do­mestic pride and public opinion. That the indemnity will be finally rejected we hardly believe; we think, in fact, that such a policy might very properly be vetoed by the creditors of Spain. But the instinctive wish to avert as much as possible of the humiliation of surrender can be readily understood.

The peace negotiation as it stands to-day has several distinct aspects. The first of these is embod­

ied in the Spanish protest that the terms of the American ultimatum are unwarrantably harsh. We are unable to 3ee the justice of this contention. It is quite true that our Government might have chosen to waive all claims except such as arose in the West Indies. It is possible that Spain expected some such liberality, but the expectation certainly had no basis beyond the Spanish theory a3 to what our Government might choose to do. The protocol of August 12 was quite distinct in its provision that the disposition of the Philippines should be decided by subsequent negotiation, and such provision necessarily left the matter open to any demand which the negotiators should submit.

As to the question whether the demand submitted this week by our Commissioners is unreasonable or not, we know of no other test to apply than precedent in former peace negotiations. The Franco-German war was closed by the cession to Prussia of Alsace- Lorraine, for which nothing was paid by the victors, and by the further exaction of a cash indemnity amounting to a billion dollars. The Graeco-Turkish war of 1897, which lasted scarcely two weeks, ended with an indemnity charge of $20,000,000 against Greece. In our own present case, the United States not only demands no cash payment from Spain, but offers $20,000,000 cash in reimbursement of Spain’ s outlay for the legitimate expenses of the Philippines.

It is contended by the Spanish negotiators that, since the American troops had actually obtained fuU possession neither of Cuba, nor of Porto Rico, nor of the Philippines, this country has no title arising from conquest. But this plea is inadmissible, in view of the fact that Spain itself, in its appeal for peace last August, acknowledged that its power of resistance had reached an end. Nobody doubts that if Spain had not asked a truce, the American troops would shortly have taken possession of all strategic points in the three colonies. Porto Rico was already virtu­ally in our possession; Spain had no means of defend­ing Havana against a land attack. Manila itself had fallen, and the fact that its surrender occurred after the actual signing of the protocol is a matter of little moment. It i3 such facts as these which constitute occupation and conquest. It should be remembered that even in the overwhelming debacle of 1871 the Germans actually occupied only a small part of the French territory.

So much for the propriety of the American de­mands, in the light of international law and precedent.; Thefurther very important consideration remains, how,

are our own national interests to be affected by the acquisition of this new territory ? Broadly speaking, the discussion of this problem has brought into con­troversy three very vital questions: How would oursystem of government adapt itself to a colonial policy; how far should we be able to administer properly and successfully these distant acquisitions; and to what extent would a movement into the Philippines affect our future foreign relations ?

On all three of these points there is an extremely wide divergence of opinion. A ll conservative judges, whatever their view as to the wiser course, unite in recognizing that the nation is about to try a momen­tous experiment, that it is to a large extent taking a step in the dark, and that the step thus taken cannot be retraced. These very serious facts have led many sincerely patriotic critics to protest against the entire undertaking. But the weak point of this appeal, in our judgment, has been its failure to submit a practical alternative. The conclusion of the war, like the conclusion of every other successful war, created a wholly novel situation. The problem, which could not be ignored, was how to meet this situation. To return the Philippine Islands to Spanish misrule, after we had acquired them with the countenance of the insurgents, has been tacitly declared by nearly all citizens to be morally inadmissible. To hand them over to some other Power, as anti-annexationists have suggested, is diplomatically inadmissible. To call a Congress of Powers to decide on the disposition of the islands is a curious and to our mind unpractical suggestion, in view of the notorious fact that every delegate to such a conference, if unable to acquire title to the islands for his own State, would certainly veto such control by any rival government. As to what a joint protectorate would mean, the course of events in Egypt during the last two [decades is an instructive lesson. Finally, very few people are bold enough to advise relinquishment of the Philippines to the semi-civilized native chiefs. Our Declaration of Independence certainly declares that governments derive their just powers from the con­sent of the governed. But Mr. Jefforson was writing of civilized communities. Nobody had asked the formal consent of the Indians to our early colonial governments, or to the later Federal administration. Treaties existed with the several tribes, but it would be the height of absurdity to describe these treaties as voluntary participation by the natives in our govern­mental system. As a matter of fact, the Indians not only did not share in the setting up of the new gov­ernment on their own old domain, but they have been and are wholly excluded from a part in its adminis­tration.

The fact, however, that administration of these islands as colonies is just, does not prove that the United States is fitted to administer them. This is plainly a new departure for our Government, so doubt­ful in its consequences that the majority of thought­ful citizens regret that the situation should ever have arisen. But the situation is before-us; it was created, not by the demand for the Philippines, nor even by the cession of Porto Rico, but by the annexation of Hawaii, which antedated both these incidents of the Spanish war. This policy once begun, of annexing distant islands witlx an alien population, the problem squarely presented itself, whether we were to erect these new acquisitions into territories with a view to

the c h r o n ic le . [V ol. L X V II1082

ov. EUu.i! (atjis probably early) independent statehood, irhither wi* were to confront the matter firmly, and

, , - I . (,tn> alternative to further deterioration ofour i ’ongreseiona! membership. This single alterna­nt,., a Hawaii as in t uba and Porto Rico and the Philippines, is colonial administration.

That su.'h li iininistration would involve a changein the purpose, if not in the express provisions, of our Constitution, > an undoubted fact. Powers neither granted nor implied in a system of organic law are

regarded us withheld, and a Supreme t ’ourt decision of 185b, recently cited, declares that •‘ there is certainly no power givou by the Constitu­tion tot Federal Government to establish or main­tain colonies bordering on the United States or at a distance, l o b e ruled and governed at its own pleasure ; nor to enlarge its territorial limits in anyway except by the admission of new States." It is possible that this construction of the Constitution would require a fresh review favour Federal judiciary and conceivably an amendme-nt to the organic law itself. The rigid inter,

ation was Ott the other band somewhat modified|)i this very Court o f 1856, which ruled that mainte­nance of a territorial government with a view to future statehood via.- constitutional. In this regard the case of Alaska, ,o quired by outright purchase eleven years after Use above decision and never yet seriously dis- iu*ed as a potential sovereign State, is interesting.This is primarily a constitutional and legal matter.

It- possible omplexity cannot be denied, and the argilinei-i. wo think, was inexcusably ignored by the statesmen w ho clamored, long before the Spanish war, for Hawaiian annexation. But we are by no means

_ to • ept ilie further pessimistic conclusions of some re cel' criticism'. Senator Hoar’s intimation that with a colonial policy adopted, the decline and fail •: the American Republic would date from the McKinley Administration, seems to us very rash and hasty prophecy. It certainly strikes us that Si ay in our Government would be furthered with a v.,*tiy gr> ater impulse if we w ere to add to our Federal Senate two Porto Ric.it.s. two Hawaiian*, half-a-dozen < A.! ;ji:s an i an indefinite number of Filipinos. There mu', be doubt over the question whether we are capable of governing these imperfectly civilized com- mur. at there will, we imagine, be littledifference >f opinion as to the capacity of those communities to govern ns. With so considerable a representation in both houses of Congress as would • one with the erection of these islands into state-

h" I, their share in making laws for the American Continent would be very great. Whatever disposition of <<ar new Asiatic possessions shall prove to be ex­pedient, we are convinced that their incorporation assovereign States not only ought not to be favored, but ought to bo excluded a» formally and finally as can be done by act of legislature and people.

The question whether, in view of certain notorious *rV.;w-aioi m our methods of homo political adminis­tration, »!• an avoid even graver abuses in a remote colonial administration, is by the common consent of si! ■ ritb » the most serious phase of the problem. So strong an outside advocate of an American colonial policy a* Mr. Chamberlain, frankly admits that if the practice# of municipal politics in parts of the Union must bo transported to distant dependencies, then the experiment ie foreordained to failure. We find it difficult, however, to believe in the poseibility of such reaulte. Oreot Britain's colonial administration,

notably in India, began with extremely serious abuses of the kind; but on the first clear presentation of the facts to the British public the whole obnoxious sys­tem was instantly swept aside, to be replaced by the orderly and scientific management which is to-day the model of colonial rule. It is commonly said that the Anglo-Saxon conscience was aroused, and so it was. But the Anglo-Saxon instinct of self-preserva­tion awoke with even greater force, and to that instinct no appeal will ever remain unheard,

This being true, let us observe that the abuse of power by Clive and Hastings occurred when there was no cable, no telegraph, no special correspondent, no powerful and resourceful opposition press. The light of publicity through which, after a long immunity, the practices of these tyrannical administrators were at length brought to an end, would be focussed on the Hawaiian and the Philippine administrator from the day of his appointment. We venture topredict that his official aQts would be re­ported, discussed and criticized in Washington, New York, Boston, Chicago, or San Francisco with a promptness and unsparing detail which is not witnessed to-day even in the foreign col­umns of the greatest Loiidon daily. The very fact that the American public to-day soberly recog­nizes the gravity of the experiment would ensure both thorough examination of the character and policy of a colonial administrator, and swift retribution to the government or party which should be so rash as to countenance corruption or misgovernment. Let it be remembered that our often-cited series of blunders in Indian administration has resulted primarily from the fact that the public, quite aware that no serious consequences were likely to arise, refused to interest itself in the matter. On the other hand, the un­fortunate relations between the black and white citi­zens in the South have had their origin in the very fact concerning which we have already said our word of warning in the case of the Philippines— the ques­tion not of governing, but of being governed by, men of another race.

Wo have left ourselves little space to speak of the third and in some respects most important problem of our proposed experiment— its influence on our future relations with foreign States. In this regard, it is grati- fying to observe that competent. English critics wel­come the suggested intrusion of the United States into Asiatic waters, not as an element in future war­fare but as a guaranty of future peace. Lord Salis­bury’s Guildhall speech was possibly an exception, but the Premier’s vein of cynicism is notorious, and his sentiments towards this country have always been mixed. In general, we may fairly argue of a future American diplomacy as we have already argued of an American colonial administration; that the urgent and critical need for competent service will itself com­pel scrupulous selection. Americans have rarely been found wanting in the test of international diplomacy when a truly Berious problem was presented, and when the country’s real talent was summoned.

As for our trade policy in our new acquisitions— supposing the colonial plan to be adopted—we believe the key is to be found in the already officially promul­gated policy of the “ open door.” We presume that

I any dependency of the United States, temporary or permanent, would be entitled, equally with Canada, the Australasian colonies, the African coast provinces or the European dependencies in China, to fix such im-

N o v e m b e b 26, 1898.] THE CHKON1CLE. 1083port tariffs as should he deemed wise. But the tariffs must apply to the United States and other powers alike. Conceivably preferential duties might be granted in return for such preferential grants by other States — even Canada pursues this policy— but like Canada, an American possession must, if it undertake such ex­change of privileges, grant the same opportunity to all foreign States alike. To this phase of the prob­lem there is absolutely no other solution outside of alienation from our fellow Powers. If, as is contended in some quarters, there are constitutional obstacles in the way of tariff regulations different in our island dependencies from those in our own domain, then the whole question ought to be reviewed with the utmost seriousness. But the tariff question is only one ele­ment in a general undertaking which, if adopted, must be adopted on lines entirely new to our political traditions.

SCOPE OF THE SUPREM E COURT TRUST DECISIONS.

There is ene part of the opinion of the U. S. Su­preme Court in the case of the Joint Traffic Associa­tion which is of decided importance but which in the newspaper discussions has received no promin­ence whatever, if it has not been altogether over­looked. We refer to the bearing and application of the decision upon ordinary contracts and combina­tions. In this particular the apprehensions to which the earlier decision in the Trans-Missouri Freight Association case gave rise are happily removed. The Court now takes pains to point out that the con­struction which so many good legal authorities were inclined to place upon its language in the first opin­ion is unwarranted.

As far as rate agreements between the railroads are concerned, the scope of the decision is by this later interpretation made broader and more unquali­fied than before. In plain and unmistakable language we are told that whatever the nature or character of such agreements, so long as they operate in restraint of inter-State commerce they are in vio­lation of the Anti-Trust Law of 1890. No matter if they act in reasonable or unreasonable restraint of trade in inter-State commerce [this distinction as to “ inter-State” commerce is an important one, as we shall presently see], no matter what the intent, and what the language or recitals in the instrument, and no matter whether there is proof or not to show that the agreement is working to the detriment of commerce, it is nevertheless in conflict with the law and there­fore illegal. I f the necessary effect of such a contract between railroads is to restrain trade, that is suffic­ient to work its condemnation."

As concerns, however, contracts between individu­als, firms or corporations— or “ ordinary ” contracts and combinations as they are termed in the opinion— the scope of the former ruling is considerably nar­rowed by the nice discriminations and distinctions made in this later decision, and also by the opinion and conclusion in-the case of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange, decided at the same time. In not­ing these distinctions, we may be permitted to say that with all deference to the Court it is impossible to avoid the impression that its construction in the Joint i raffic case, as in the Trans-Missouri ruling, is forced and strained. ^Nor is it always easy to follow the Court’s logic or to understand its attitude. It is

hardly worth while dilating upon that point, and yet we cannot omit reference to at least one important illustration. In the opinion on the Live Stock Ex­change case (to which we shall allude at length fur­ther below), a special point is made of the fact that the members of the Exchange still continue their in­dividual business and remain in full competition with one another. The cempetition in the case of the members of the Joint Traffic Association, one would think, is oertainly just as real, if not more so, than in the case of the Live Stock Exchange. As a matter of fact, there was an express provision in the Joint Traffic contract intended to insure full liberty of action to the individual members, even in the fixing of rates. We refer to the provision reserving to the board of directors of each company the right to make changes in rate*, provided only that thirty days’ notice be given of an intention so to do— that being a feature distinguish­ing the Joint Traffic contract from the Trans-Missouri contract. And yet this freedom of competition and re­tention of separate identity, to which so much im­portance is attached in the argument upholding the legality of the Live Stock Exchange, is dismissed by the Court as of no account in the other opinion by a curious piece of reasoning which must be regarded as more ingenious than convincing.

Passing such incongruities, however, nothing is more palpable from these latest decisions than the Court’s manifest desire to assure the public that its former ruling was not intended to be as broad as it has been generally assumed to be. When Justice Peckham in this earlier decision declared that Con­gress in prohibiting contracts and agreements in re­straint of trade meant, contrary to all legal precepts and precedents, to forbid contracts of all kinds whether in reasonable or unreasonable restraint of trade, it at once became apparent that the dictum of the Court was so sweeping that hardly any business arrangement in which two or more persons were in­volved could fail to come within its scope. Labor organizations for maintaining wages or limiting the number of persons to be employed in a business ; the buying out of one concern by another ; the union of two or more merchants in a partnership ; the appoint­ment of a joint agent by merchants, manufacturers and producers— these and many other kindred devel­opments of modern business life it was felt were con­demned, since they one and all operated in some de­gree to limit competition and restrain trade. And this was not the hasty conclusion of laymen, but the deliberately expressed opinion of some of the best legal minds in the country. Naturally, therefore, much concern existed in the business world.

The Court now undertakes to show that these re­sults by no means follow. In this its logic, we must confess, is not always clear, but that was hardly be expected, since it it is so obviously engaged in a attempt to escape the consequences of its languag when applied outside the railroad domain. Though no contracts of the nature outlined above were before it, Justice Peckham said the Court had no hesitation in declaring that the formation of corporations for busi­ness or manufacturing purposes had never, to its knowledge, been regarded in the nature of a contract in restraint of trade or commerce. The same might be said of a contract of partnership. It might also be difficult to show, he stated, that the appoint­ment by two or more producers of the same person to

He holds that the st atute applies only to those con­tracts whose direct and immediate effect is a restraint upon inter-State commerce, and that to treat the Act as condemning all agreements under which, asa result, the cost of conducting an inter-State commercial business may be increased, would enlarge the application of the Act beyond the fair mean­ing of the language use i. The effect upon

St rte commerce must not be indirect or incidental only. An agreement entered into for the purpose of promoting the legitimite business of an individual or corporation, with no purpose to thereby effect or restrain Inter-State Commerce, and which does not directly restrain such commerce, is not, in his judgment and that of a majority of his

in agreement or contract among business men tmt ■ tld n >t h • - ii 1 to have, indirectly or remotely, some bearing upon inter-State commerce, and pos­sibly to restrain it.” We may say as to this latter re­mark that that has been precisely the contention of the railroads; ttiey have contended that the words of the Anti-Trust Saw must be given “ a reasonable con­struction/' and that if they were, the Joint Traffic Association would not be found in conflict with its provision!.

Justine Peckham differentiates ordinary contracts ' r on the agreement in the Joint Traffic case by saying 'ha*, the latter, being a contractor combination bo- twson competing railroad corporations for the pur­pose of establishing and maintaining rates, it must be regard * 1 n an agreement which directly affects and is intended to affect the cost of transportation of commodities. Kor, he argues, commerce consists, among other things, of the transportation of commodities, and if such transportation be between Stst.es it is inter-Statc commerce. The agreement in his estimation affects inter-State commerce by destroying competition and by main­taining rate* above what competition might pro­duce. He thinks Congress is competent to forbid any agreem-mt or combination of this kind among the carriers. Railroads cannot be built and operated without i public franchise, and their business is of a public nature. In performing this business they are al*o performing to a certain extent a function of gov­ernment which requires them to render the service upon equal terms to all. The franchise may be derived from the State, but Congress under its power

lOtHto regulate commerce among the States may make regulations prescribing its exercise ; and a law forbid­ding combinations in restraint of trade belongs in that category. The Court, does not consider that ordinary freedom of contract in the use and manage­ment of these properties requires the right to combine as one consolidated and powerful association for the purpose of suppressing competition and of thus keep­ing their rates and charges higher than they might otherwise be under the laws of competition. And this is so even though the rates provided in the agreement may for the time be not more than what is reasonable.

The distinctions here attempted also run through the Court's arguments in the L ivestock case. Indeed they are there defined at much treater length. I t is interesting to note, as showing what a complete departure the Court’s interpretation iu these recent decisions marks, that in this Live Stock case, as in that of the Joint Traffic Association, the lower courts had taken just the opposite view to that now promul­gated by the Supreme Court. The Joint Traffic contract was held valid by the Circuit Court and the Circuit Court of Appeals. The Supreme Court de­clares it illegal and void. On the other hand, the contention that the methods and operations of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange were in conflict with the Anti-Trust statute was upheld in both the Circuit Court and the Circuit Court of Appeals, while uow the Supreme Court declares t in t the con­tention cannot be sustained.

The Live Stock Exchange i3 an organization of commission merchants whn control the sale of live stock at Kansas City. It was charged that the Ex­change was a monopoly, that none but members were allowed to trade at the stockyards and enjoy the other facilities furnished by it, and that its object was to prevent the shipment or consignment of live stock to the Kansas City market unless it was shipped or con­signed to the members and stock yards of the Ex­change and paid the charges fixed by the rules of that organization. Various provisions of the by-laws were cited to support the allegation in the bill of com­plaint, which was filed by the United States Gov­ernment. It appeared from these by-laws that not only did the Exchange fix ratos of charges, hut that it enforced other stringent regulations, such as lim iting the number of agents to be employed and the com­pensation to be paid to them, prohibiting the members from sending prepaid telegrams, &c., &c. At the outset Justice Peckham takes occa­sion to point out that the 1890 law has refer­ence only to such trade or commerce as exists, or may exist, among the several States or with foreign nations, and that it ha3 no application what-. ever to any other trade or commerce. The principal point for determination therefore wa3 whether the business of the members of the Exchange was inter­state. This question the Court answers in the nega­tive. Justice Peckham notes that the Exchange itself as an association does no business whatever. The business of the members is the sale or purchase of live -t-ock as commission agents, aud the character of this business is not altered, he says, even though the larger proportion of the purchases and sales may be of live stock coming into the State from other States or from the Territories.

The opinion holds that while the selling of an article at its destination which has been sent from another State may be regarded as an inter-State sale, and or.8

which the importer is entitled to make, the services of the individual employed at the place where the article is sold are not so connected with the subject sold as to make them a portion of inter-State commerce; hence a eombination in regard to the amount to be charged for such service is not a combina­tion in restraint of that trade or commerce. Grant­ing that the cattle themselves, because coming from another State, are articles of inter-State commerce, yet it does not therefore follow that, before their sale, all persons performing services in any way connected with them are themselves engaged in that commerce, or that their agreements among each other relative to the compensation to be charged for their services are void as agreements made in restraint of inter-State t rade. The charges of the commission agent on ac­count of his services are nothing more than charges for aids or facilities furnished the cattle owner in finding a market for his cattle. While definitions as to what constitutes inter-State commerce are not easily given, the U. S. Supreme Court has always maintained a distinction, Justice Peckman claims, between a regulation which directly affects and embarrasses inter-State trade or commerce and one which is nothing more than a charge for a local facility provided for the transaction of such commerce. He declares that the indirect effect of the Live Stock agreement might be to enhance the cost of marketing the cattle, but the effect upon the commerce spoken of must be direct and proximate. The cattle owner, he asserts, has no constitutional right to the services of the commission agent to aid him in the sale of his cattle, and the agent has the right to say upon what terms he will render them, and he ha3 the equal right, so far as the Act of Congress is concerned, to agree with others in hi3 business not to render those services unless for a certain charge. The services are no part of the commerce in the cattle.

Summing up, theu, are we not justified f om our examination of these two decisions in concluding that according to the views of the Court contracts between the carriers fall almost in a class by themselves. Nominally contracts between others are no less sub­ject to the provisions of the Anti-Trust law, but there are so many attendant circumstances and conditions which must be taken into account before such con­tracts can be condemned that in effect the law does not seem to apply. Observe the distinctions the Court makes. In the first place, of course, it must be shown that the agreement relates to inter-State commerce. It may relate to articles of inter-State commerce and yet those rendering services connected therewith not be engaged in such commerce. Then the question comes up whether the contract does not relate to something in the nature of personal services for which the individual is at liberty to fix his own price. Or it may be that the charges arc simply for a “ local aid ” or “ facility ” to inter-State commerce, and thus fall without the pale of the statute. Again, even when the agreement has a bearing on inter-State commerce, the etfect must be “ direct,” “ immediate” and “ proximate.” I f the effect is “ mdireot,” or “ re­mote,” or “ incidental,” that secures exemption. The Court expressly says that it is not enough to ensure the condemnation of an agreement that the cost of conducting an inter-State business may thereby be increased. Furthermore, contracts imposing very ob­noxious restrictions may bo but “ regulations or agreements relating to the business of the mem­

bers.” I t would also seem that the railroads by reason of the public nature of their functions, and the character of their business, come squarely within the operation of the law, where in all other cases the ques­tion depends upon the special facts in each instance, and can only be determined by an intricate process of reasoning— leaving great latitude for legal hairsplitting and the play of judicial emotions and vagaries. For one of these various reasons the Sugar Trust secured im­munity a few years ago. In the same way the Live Stock Exchange is held to be not inimical to the statute, though the judges in the lower courts had all entertained the idea that it was.

I f we are correct in our assumption, then certain strange things follow from the Court’s definition of the scope of the law, and the outcome is curious as well as unjust. No ono who followed the discussions in Congress attending the passage of the Anti-Trust Act can have any doubt but that the framers of the Act never contemplated having it apply to the rail­roads, for whose regulation provision had been made only three years before. Now under the construction placed upon the statute by the Supreme Court the railroads are apparently the only parties ongaged in inter-State trade who can with certainty be brought within the scope of the law. The result furnishes a strong argument for legislation calculated to place the carrying interest on a basis of equality with other interests in the matter of the right of making con­tracts and avoiding the evils of unrestrained competi­tion. We cannot believe that our lawmakers intend to discriminate against this single interest, the largest of all our industries. Congress at its coming session should take prompt measures to afford the necessary relief.

The report upon the trade and industries of Chili, prepared by the Official Traveling Commissioner sent last January to South America by the British Gov­ernment, has been followed by a statement of the in­telligence gathered by him in the Argentine Republic. In accordance with his instructions, Mr. Worthington gives especial attention to facts bearing upon the com­petition in the Argentine markets between the manu­facturers of Great Britain and other countries. A summary view of the share of each competing country m the supply of these markets is given in the follow­ing table, showing the percentage of the whole of the imports arriving from each principal source during the last five years.

They appear to indicate that the only countries which have gained »iiLv*untn»Uy in the Argentine trade during the last hr.- vr»r- ore the United Kingdom and Italy, But the result of the Commissioner's investigations in the markets for various classes of manufactures is that in IHOtSH* O f them British productions have been displaced during recent years by those of Italy, Germany and the United States.

Italian cotton goods woven from colored yarn, trouserings especially, have become very popular, a fact which is attributed partly to the largo number of i i i i i mm grants settled in Argentina and partly to the very low freights at which all kinds of merchan­dise arc carried from Genoa by steamers carrying emigrants. This last item is undoubtedly an import­ant consideration, for the rates of freight from Italy to Buenos Ayres are usually only about one-half of those paid from British ports. It is knownin M in hester that apart from this considera­tion Italian goods have little advantage m

in respei lither qual­ity or price. Indeed, Mr. Worthington states that some ILulian merchants in Argentina are suspected

rings as Italian. Of white and brown cotton goods generally he says that the bulk .d the imports continues to come from Eng-

I. although American flannellettes are much liked, and they compete successfully to some extent. American prints have also a certain hold upon the market. They are nice goods, but the assortments of patterns are not sufficiently varied.

uente and tools of industry the chief source of supply is the United States. Included in these implements are picks, spades, shovels and adzes, and the statistics of imports of this class of manufac­ture show that this is the case. Here are the figures m metric tons.

Of iron and steel in their various forms, the chief sources of supply have hitherto been England, Bel gium and Germany; but the United States has now entered the market, and the exports thence of gal­vanized sheets, wire, hoops and steel rails have been steadily increasing since 1893, The tramway rails are now almost entirely American. Even of tin plates, of which the consumption is rapidly increasing in Argen­tina, a small quantity comes from the United States, although much the largest share is still imported from England.

Mr. Worthington devotes many pages of his report to an examination of Argentine manufacturing indus­tries. The textile factories do not appear to have made very much progress so far, notwithstanding that it has been an object of the Customs tariff policy to encourage them. Those engaged in producing cotton and woolen hosiery occupy a conspicuous place amongst them, a ad some are devoted to the produc­tion of under-linen, chiefly established as branches of German and Austrian firms. There are five factories producing bags and sacks from imported yarn, but they do not appear to be very profitable undertakings. But the manufacture of hats, boots and shoes and or­dinary leather goods generally has made rapid prog­ress, reducing very greatly the need for resorting to foreign sources of supply.

Upon the important subject of trade-marks in the Argentine Republic the Commissioner's observations are important. His summary on this question is worth quoting. He says:

“ False marking and piracy of trade marks are both quite common here. The former is most in evi­dence in the false indications of place of manufac­ture on locally made goods, but although the law, I understand, makes the dealer who orders false marks, whether of origin or contents, jointly liable with the manufacturer who puts them on, it apparently leaves those who may feel themselves aggrieved to take action agaiust the falsifiers.

“ I have not noticed that the import of British gooils in competion with other imported goods has, in the majority of trades, been seriously affected by such matters as those just referred to. Our competitors in the import trade are certainly generally the first to cut weights or lengths, etc., but then, in the majority of instances, it is done in the case of goods sold by the package, supposed formerly to contain so much, but not so marked, and in such cases the reduction becomes the custom of the trade and the British man­ufacturer has to follow it. Indeed, the docking of contents in this way has developed in such a manner in many articles as to be quite bewildering, and to cornu itute the trade in each article a study of no little intricacy.

trade marks are registered and can be defended 1 e&aBy, but great care has to boused in carrying on a

N ovember 26, 1898,j THE CHRONICLE. 1C8Tprosecution, and the want of such care, as well as the perjury of witnesses, has led to failures of justice in the past, which fact, not to mention the expense of legal proceedings, naturally deters a good many owners of pirated marks from vindicating their rights.” __________ __________ __

THE DECIS IO N A G A IN S T THE A N TI- I IC K E I-SC A LPIN G LA W.

While the uncertainties of the law are proverbial, the public has received several forcible reminders of late that even the best legal thought may err in the interpretation of statutory and constitutional re­quirements, or rather that the views of such authori­ties may not prevail if it so happens that thmr rulings are subject to review. The U. S. Supreme Court has recently in two notable cases overturned the conclu­sions and declarations of judges of great ability, and which had been affirmed by other judges of equal renown, while now the Court of Appeals of this State has rendered a decision completely reversing a unani­mous jirdicial interpretation given only eight months ago by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.

In this last we refer of course to this week’s de­cision adverse to the constitutionality of the Anti- Ticket-Scalping law. Last March the Appellate D i­vision, after lengthy arguments and a careful review of the authorities, failed to find anything in the stat­ute contravening in any way the constitutional pro­visions. We need mention only the names of the judges sitting in the Appellate Division at that time to make it evident what weight attached to their opinion. They were Justices Van Brunt, Barrett, Patterson, In­graham and McLaughlin. But the Court of Appeals now holds that their view of the Anti-Ticket-Scalping law was clearly erroneous. It should be noted, how­ever, that this latest judgment is not that of a unani­mous but of a divided court, Judges Parker, O’ Brien, Haight and Vann uniting in the majority opinion, and Judges Bartlett, Martin and Gray arguing in favor of upholding the judgment of the Appellate Division.

In view of the importance of the case and this con­flict of views, and the fact that the present decision is final, it will be interesting and useful to review the course of reasoning by which the differing conclusions were reached. It will be remembered that the statute whose provisions are now declared iu repugnance to the Constitution was passed la3t year, forming Chap­ter 506 of the Laws for 1897. It provided that no person should issue or offer for sale any ticket giving or purporting to give any right to a passage or convey­ance upon any vessel or railway train, or a berth or stateroom in any vessel, unless he be an authorized agent of the owners or consignees of such vessels, or of thecompanyrunningsuchtrains. Andno person was to be deemed an authorized agent unless he had received authority in writing therefor. The law also provided that no person acting as such agent should sell tickets or receive any consideration therefor except at the office de-ignated in his appointment. The statute was not, however, to be construed so as to prevent a properly authorized agent of one transportation com­pany from purchasing tickets from the properly au­thorized agent of another transportation company so as to allow a traveler to make a continuous trip over more than one line. Besides this there were provis­ions for the redemption of the unused portions of tickets, for the refunding of money, etc., and string­

ent penalties for a failure to observe the requirements of the law.

The ticket scalpers, in contesting the validity of the statute, contended, among other things, thai it was in violation of the New York Constitution, in that it deprived them of a right secured to citizens of this State, that is the right to sell or procure tickets for the transportation over the lines of a common carrier, and that it violated the Constitution of the United States by depriving them of their liberty without due process of law, namely the liberty of engaging in the business of ticket selling. The Appellate Division, as already stated, could see no force in these objections. In its estimation [we reviewed the decision at length in the C h r o n i c l e of March 5 1898, pages 450 and 451] there was nothing in the statute which deprived the scalpers of any right they held in common with other citizens of the State. The Court ruled that the buying and selling of tickets was nothing but the buying and selling of the evidence which entitles a person to transportation by a public carrier. The issuing of tickets is a feature of the carriers’ business, and the regulation and control of the business of a public carrier can not be questioned. I f the exercise of that power of regulation and control prevents a third party from securing a personal advantage, which he calls his business, he is not deprived of any constituti mal right.

Railroad tickets being merely the evidence of & contract between the carrier and the passenger, the whole relation as to their issuance and use is by the- statute in question, the Court said, limited to the carrier and the passenger. I f as a consequence o f such regulation some person who has heretofore carried on the industry of buying and selling or speculating in railway tickets is prevented from con­tinuing to do so, he is not deprived in any,legal sense of his property right in a business. He was merely engaged in doing something not unlawful in itself, but which might be made so by the exercise of the power the State has to regulate the business of carriers within its boundaries. The statute was not one, the Judges of the Appellate Division asserted, preventing a citizen from dealing in merchandise or property generally; a law of that kind would clearly be uncon­stitutional.

Such were the arguments—and it will be admitted they seem convincing—by which the Appellate Divis­ion was led to think the Anti-Ticket-Scalping law was in full consonance with the provisions of the Constitution. But the Court of Appeals, speaking by a majority of its members, finds itself unable to accept this view. In the first place it puts a different construction upon the language used in one portion of the statute. The Appellate Division had assumed that the effect of the statute was that a corporation shall sell only through its agents, and that the law was merely a declaration that the corporation itself was to sell its tickets. But the majority opin­ion of the Court of Appeals declares this is not so. It says that the first section and the first part of the second section do restrict the sale of passage tickets in that way. But it quotes the provision already referred to with reference to purchases of tickets from other roads, which it remarks is “ sand­wiched in between the opening and the closing sen­tences of the second section,” and avers that that al­ters the meaning. The provision in full reads: “ Nothing in this section or chapter contained shall

10S8 TH E C H R O N IC LE . [Vol. L x y n

a

P

rent the pfopcrlv author mod agent of any trans- ■Mtson company from purchasing from the properly [homed agent of any other transportation company >; kt*i for a passongor to whom he may sell a ticket [ratal over any part of the line for which ho is the iperly authorised agent, so as to enable such pas- gar to travel to the place or junction from which

his ticket shall read.”The intent of this provision seems plain enough.

In purpose. tvideuUy, is to ensures continuous pas- fcige over connecting or intersecting roads. But Chief Judge Parker, who delivered the opinion, declares it follows, from the provision referred to, that the mo­ment a man becomes the agent of a transportation company in- is by that designation authorised to buy tickets of any other transportation company in thera iled Mat'-', or the world, and may sell such tickets to any person who applies for them. Iu the sale of tickets of other transportation companies he necessa­rily a t as a broker, the Court argues. He cau buy the tickets and sell them, making profit according to the competition between the various roads.

Judge Parker adverts to another “ interesting fea­ture” of this. “ remarkable statute,” as he terms it; the buying and selling of passage tickets is not abolished: it is only condemned where the seller 1 as not authority from some transportation company to act as it- agent. “ It may possibly be that there was such a situation as would have justified an enactment placing some restrictions upon those engaged in the selling of passage tickets and prescribing penalties by way of fine and imprisonment for those who should break over such restraints. Our excise legis­l a t i on affords an illustration. But this Act simply turns over to the transportation companies the selec­tion of those who are hereafter to be permitted to »*B tickets. It imposes no restraint whatever upon the appointing power, nor upon the agents selected, other than that in the purchase of tickets he must confine himself to the properly authorized agents of the transportation companies. The business of buying and selling tickets, as to such agents, continues to be a legitimate business, bnt to all other citizens is de­nied, and a sale by other than an agent constitutes a felony/*

The Court points out that ticket brokerage as a business h.s- existed for years. Referring to the claim that the law was put on the statute book to prevent fraud, the Court declares it, novel legislation indeed that attempts to take away from all the people the fight to conduct a business because there are wrong- doer* in it. But it sees no evidence that the purpose i* prevent fraud. The title of the Act might sup- p c the claim, but the body of the statute, Judge Barker asserts, does not contain any reference to forged, altered, used or stolen tickets. The sale of such tickets i.« made a punishable offense under other portion* of the Renal Code. He accordingly reasons that the provision'* have reference to the selling of

guUrly issued by a transportation - nrnpmy. "Can a legislature declare such sales to be fraudulent, or prohibit them on the ground that it !‘ d- to prevent fraud ? I f the act prohibited is fraudulent, there can bo no doubt that the Legisla-

« r; r its police power, may provide for its pun- 1 5 cm : but whether it may under such power in­terdict the »ale of a valid ticket by one person to finot((<jr upon the pretext that fraud wall thug be pre­vented, presents a very different question/’

Judge Parker says he is unable to see how such a sale defrauds a transportation company. I f a com­pany undertakes to sell a ticket from New York to San Francisco, it. undertakes to carry the holder from the one place to the other. It costs the company no more to carry one person than it does the other. How then, the Judge asks, can it be defrauded or in any way prejudiced by the transfer of such a ticket by the purchaser to another purchaser ? Answering the claim that the prohibition of such a sale protects the traveler from being defrauded. Judge Parker replies that if it is a sale of a valid ticket, no fraud can possibly result; and if it is not a sale of a valid ticket, the sale is fraudulent and is prohibited by other provisions of the Penal Code. It is not contended, the opinion continues, that the busi­ness of ticket brokerage is in itself of a fraudulent character. The business cau he honestly conducted; it has been so conducted in the past by the honest men engaged in it; and the worst that is asserted is that there are some men en­gaged in the business who have imposed on the pub­lic. The same assertion can he made with equal truth of every business, trade and profession. But this furnishes no sufficient reason for making it a penal offense to engage in the business, or for closing its doors to all except the transportation companies themselves. Stringent rules undoubtedly may he en­acted, the Court says, to punish those who are guilty of dishonest practices, hut to cutup, root and branch, a business that may be honestly conducted, to the convenience of the public and the profit of the per­sons engaged in it, is beyond legislative power.

On the other hand, the minority of the Court, in equally emphatic language, deny the correctness of the position of the majority. Thus Justice Martin asserts that to hold that the Act under review is un­constitutional will practically annihilate the police power of the Legislature. He deprecates what he calls an arbitrary and unauthorized interference by the judiciary with the administrative affairs of the State, and says it is fraught with quite as much dan­ger as would follow legislative interference with judic­ial affairs. “ When courts seek to control or in effect repeal acts of the Legislature by holding them in conflict with some non-existent or doubtful consti- stitntional limitation, their action is mere usurpation/

Thus the conflict of views is very pronounced, and the layman will find it difficult to decide as to the merits of each. The one fact which stands out prom­inently and beyond controversy is that in the tribunal of final adjudication the statute has been declared beyond the power of the Legislature to enact, and is therefore invalid and of no effect.

[From our own correspondent.]

L ondon, Saturday, November 12, 1898.Lord Salisbury’s speech on Wednesday evening has, on the

■whole, made a favorable impression here and upon the Con­tinent. Early on Thursday morning the inclination was to look upon the speech as disquieting. Prices declined some­what on the Stock Exchange, and bankers were less willing to lend than previously. For Lord Salisbury left no doubt that the situation is still threatening, and that unless the greatest care is exercised by all the governments, war may become inevitable. As Thursday advanced, however, opin­ion changed, perhaps more because the speech was welcomed as a relief in Paris.

A ll over Europe the expectation prevailed that Lord Salis­bury would announce a British protectorate over Egypt. As he declared he intended nothing of the kind, for the

present at least, the French were relieved and they were still more so by the language used in reference to the French Governm ent.

The more thoughtful people, however, are puzzled rather than enlightened by the Premier’s statement. The British naval preparations are to he continued. There w ill he no declaration of a protectorate over Egypt unless the position is made too unpleasant for our Government. The decaying nations are looked upon as prey by so many aspiring States that a quarrel may arise at any moment. And the battle of Omdurman has so completely changed our position in Egypt that we are unwilling to submit to annoyances. Lastly, the reference to the expansion of the United States is distasteful to many Powers hut favorable to this country, and all com­bine to excite curiosity and to warn us that we are not yet out of danger.

But where the gravest danger lies and what action is looked forward to as likely to produce war nobody can guess- Opinion here halts between two interpretations—one that a coalition of the Continental Powers is either in preparation, or at all events under consideration, to intervene in the Philippines, and that in that case onr Government is prepared to offer its assistance to the United States ; the other is that Russia and possibly other Powers are meditating some bold stroke in China. Although, then, the speech, upon the whole has been favorably received by the Bourses and the money markets all over Europe, the general public remains anxious, and it does not seem likely that there w ill be very much increase of business.

It is true that prices have recovered since midday on Thursday and that, furthermore, there has been some more buying of American securities, South American and British railway stocks. Bat all the purchases have been practically by members of the Stock Exchange and professional operators. The great public is doing very little. In France business is quite at a standstill. In Germany the liquidation is still going on. In Austria-Hungary enterprise of every kind is paralyzed.

The result of the United States elections on Tuesday is welcomed here as giving promise of a satisfactory and per­manent settlement of the currency question, and doubtless that would stimulate investment were it not for the great anxiety that still prevails respecting politics. These anxie­ties have not only stopped speculation and greatly checked investment, but they have entirely pat an end to new enter prise. Even trade itself, at all events international trade, has somewhat suffered.

It is indisputable that the home trade is better than it has been for very many years. Iron is rising, so is copper; em­ployment is abundant, wages are advancing and almost all manufacturers are full of orders. But our exports do not show very much expansion. The returns for September were exceedingly encouraging and it looked as if we were about to do a much better business than for some years past. But those for October are less satisfactory. More particularly our exports to the United States are exceedingly small and, on the other hand, our imports continue as large as ever.

On Wednesday the Imperial Bank of Germany raised its rate of discount from 5 to 5J per cent, and, as a conse­quence, the German exchange upon London has somewhat de­clined, although it is still very high. Apparently the repay­ments necessary to he made in London are drawing to a close, especially as it is understood that the German hanks have been able to sell here a considerable amount of German and Prussian Government bonds. But the pressure in Berlin is still very great, and is likely to continue so for a con­siderable time. The Bank of France has not advanced its rate, as was expected, though it would look as if the Bank was preparing for some such movement. A t all events there i« avery considerable decrease in the loans and discounts of the Bank.

In London the Bank of England has all the week been hor" rowing in the open market. It is gradually raising the rate of discount to nearly its own level, which would look as if the Directors were preparing for a further advance. Possibly if political apprehensions abate there may he no need to make a change. On the other hand, if the Bank of France should raise its rate to 4 per cent, there will in all prob ability he an advance here.

The Bank of France, however, w ill consider a long time before it makes a change: for tlife German Bank acceptance

Investors are fre.-1 v parchasing bonds and high-grade stocks at advancing price*: and there is evidence in some quarters that new en- terpris** or the rehabilitation of old ones are in contempla­tion. A feature of the Week was an unnsnal advance in «-c»riU*is of the anthracite coal,carriers. To those who are familiar with the coal industry during recent years this fact suggest* » pMsible change of methods in that department.

The ;<k « i money market continues abundantly supplied with funds and rates are about as we last reported them.

The open m irkc-t rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange daring the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged from -’ to V15 per cent. To-day’s rates on call were 2 to2)^ per cent. Prime commercial paper quoted H'.j' to 4M Per cent.

Railroad mid Miscellaneous Stocks.—In the stock mar­ket transactions were on a more limited scale than of late. The report from Paris on Monday that peace negotiations ware broken off had a depressing effect for the moment, but tbe market soon recovered and prices are generally from 1 to 3 points higher than our last quotations. Anthracite coal shares were a special feature, Delaware & Hudson, Central of New Jersey and Reading first preferred having advanced 4 to •’% points. Atchison stocks have continued notably active at advancing prices. Chicago & Alton gained 4% points on limited transactions. Manhattan Elevated shows a gain of 4 !a points on reports that plana for a new motive power w ill soon be announced. Union Pacific and Northern Pacific issues are in better favor on reports of more harmonious re­lations. The granger group and trunk-line shares, including New York Central, Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio, show substantial gains during the week.

The miscellaneous group has not maintained its usual prominence, and while fluctuations have been wide in some cases net changes are generally unimportant.

Kansas City Snburban Belt RR.( Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 189S.J

President E. L. Martin says in substance:General Results.—The property is now beginning to show

its value by the earnings, as the Auditor’s income statement shows. At the same time, the fa ll earning power of the property has by no means been approached. The lack of sufficient yard room has been gradually improved, so that in the next report a much better showing can be made of cost of operation. The sain of $31,702 was expended in extraordinary repairs and renewals and charged against operating expenses, which amount, i f eliminated, would re­duce the operating expenses to 46’07 per cent of the gross earniDgs. The small balance in the treasury shown by the general statement, after paying interest on bonds and divi­dend on stock is partially accouuted for by the expenditure of $41,701 in extending yards, the purchase of land and additional equipment.

The last annual report estimated the number of cars the company was likely to handle during the fiscal year at 100,000 cars;] the actual number handled was 103,633 cars.

Independence A ir Line.—On Oct. 1, 1897, a contract was en­tered into with the Metropolitan Street Ry. Co., bywnich said company agreed to do the passenger service of the A ir Line into Fairmonnt Park by extending their electric line to- the park, using our tracks there for terminal purposes. J|The

C., as will appear from the official notice in our advertising columns The road in aocoriaica with tne recent decision of the Court w ill be sold as a whole, and not inflections as desired by the New York Committee. The ap­peal to the Supreme Court was withdrawn,—V. 67, p, 787.

Central Branch Union Pacific By.—Missouri Pacific By.— Formal Transfer.— The formal transfer of the Central Branch Union Pacific By., extending from Atchison, Kan., west 100 miles to Waterville, has been made to the Missouri Pacific. This does not affect the Atchison Jewell County & Western nor the Atchison Colorado & Pacific, which, it is said, will probably not be transferred before the first of the year.—V. 67, p. 900; V. 65, p. 517.

Central Pacific B. B.—Bonds Maturing Dee. 1.—The Central Pacific It. R. Co. notifies holders of their first mort­gage bonds, series “ A " , maturing Dec. 1, 1898, that the prin­cipal of snch bonds w ill not be paid at their maturity, but that it is intended that until sueh principal shall have been paid, or readjustment of the company’s affairs arranged, in­terest from Dec. 1, 1*93, shall be paid semi-annually at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, such payment not otherwise to effect any rights of the bondholders arising from the com­pany’s failure to pay the principal at maturity. Speyer & Co., referring to such notice, inform holders of their certifi­cates issued on deposit of above bonds that they are p re eared on or after December 1, until farther notice, to purchase at par and interest at the rate of 5 per cent p. a, from that date snehjof said certificates as the holders may desire to sell. They add that it is expectei that a plan for the readjustment of the company’s affairs w ill before long bs announced, and that meanwhile they shall adopt such course as may seem desirable for the protection of the interests of the bond­holders.—V. 67, p. 318.

Central Passenger Association.—Modified Agreement.— The Central Freight and Central Passenger associations, it was recently agreed, should Be maintained, but under articles of agreement modified so as to conform with the recent de­cision of the United States Supreme Court in the Joint Traf­fic case. The leading provisions "by which the new Central Passenger Association will be governed are as follows ;

“ The purposes o f this organization are to prom ptlv secure to each of the par - ties authentic information in relation to the tariffs and rate sheets of the respective parties, and changes therein, and the du° filing and publication thereof; to aid m securing compliance with the Federal and State laws relating; to nud regulating commerce, an j to enable the parties thereto to m utually con­fer, advise and act in relation to the subjects above stated., and the proper methods to secure the purposes aforesaid.

“ Each party hereto shall tix and determine its own rates, and shall file with the commissioner all its rate sheets, circulars, rules and regulations pertaining as agent o f each individual line, shall ta k e necessarv action in disseminating tops sencer traffic within the purview o f this association; and the commissioner, such information.

•‘T he commissioner shall net for each line, under its instructions, in seeing that H 5 rates, rules and regulations are properly published, and shall co-oper­ate with compilers in the jo in t publication of the individual rate sheets o f the several lines parties thereto, within the territory o f this association, th e rates o f Individual lines parties hereto to be shown in such rate sheets, w henever they have been advised to the commissioner. T h e commissioner shall file for an 1 In the name ot the individual lines, with the Inter-State Commerce Commis­sion all rates necessary under the law, and w henever th e parties hereto or any o f them shall so rqutwt, the commissioner shall him self compile and publish, or enus- to ha compile tl and published under his immediate supervision, a joint publication o f the individual rate sheets o f the several parties hereto. Joint publication of the individual rate sheets o f the several parties hereto shall be issued as often as may he necessary, hut in no ease o f toner than quar­terly* This shall not, however, prevent the issuance o f supplements thereto whenever necessary.

“ Not huig in thin agreement shall b*n construed as giving any authority to th e said commissioner, or to the association, or to any person or officer o f the nssoclitlon. to fix or determine any rate for any party hereto, but. each party alone shah tlx and determine its own rates; and nothing herein shall be co n ­strued si* preventing any party hereto, aft-er it has tfxed such rates, from eh dining the same at any lim e or from time to time, as it m ar choose.

“ Each rump any, party hereto, reserving always to itself th e right to take in- d«» pen dent action, agrees that, should it decide to change its fa r e s .it will flic with the commissioner a written and Spec! fled notice o f the action •■ bat It In ­tends to take at least three days before same shall take effect; such notice o f Intention to nr- Hied with the commissioner before auv company oarty hereto n*<‘w. advertises or participates in any rate on com petitive passenger tr a fle having origin or destination in or passing through the territory o f tho associa­tion,''

The agreement for the government of the Central Freight Association, it is stated, is substantially the same as the old one, except that all provisions relating to the adoption of rates by the Association and the enforcement o f agreed rates are obliterated therefrom.—V. 67, p. 1002.

Chesapeake & Ohio Canal.—Canal Offered fo r Sale.—The Secretary of State of Maryland, Richard Dallam, by direc­tion of the Board of Public Works, is advertising for sealed proposals for the purchase of the State’s interest in the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. The proposals will be opened at noon on Tuesday, February 7, 1899, in the Executive Cham­ber at Annapolis. Each must be acoompanied by a bond for $100,000. The canal extends from Georgetown, D. C., along the Viauks of the Potomac R ivera distance of about 200 miles r e Cumberland, in Alleghany County, and was built almost entirely by the State. The company has long been in re­ceiver- hands, and no late report regarding its finances is at hand, but the capitalization and the interest therein of the State and the Baltimore & Ohio RR. Co. is understood to be approximately as follows:

N ovem ber 26, 1898. J THE CHRONICLE. 1109•-------Interest of-------,

........... 500,000_______ 330,000........... 379,000... ( ? )

The seniority of the various liens upon the canal has not been judicially declared. The Court passed a decree Oct. 2, 1890. for the sale of the canal, but suspended the operation of the decree until May 1, 1895, giving it into the hands of the trustees of the holders of the bonds of 1844 to operate during those four years upon condition that i f they did not demon­strate by the end of the four years that toe canal could be made to pay, then the decree would be enforced, another decree being passed to fix priorities of liens and obligations. In 1894 the Court granted an extension of six years longer. Various railroad interests have been anxious to secure the canal for use in building a new road along its right of way from Cumberland to Washington.—V. 62, p. 1138.

Chieago & Eastern Illin o is UK.—Dividend on Common.— The company has declared a dividend of X% per cent on its common stock. This with the first dividend of 2% per cent paid July 1 makes 4 per cent for the year.—V. 67, p. 424,

Chicago & Ohio R iver RR.—Foreclosure Sale Dec. 16.— This road, extending from Danville to Olney, 111., 86 miles, is advertised to be sold under foreclosure of the first mortgage at Kansas, Edgar County, 111., -on Dec. 16. The upset price is $100,000. The first mortgage is for $250,000 and the second mortgage for $750,000. The road has of late formed part of the Peoria Dacatur & Evansville RR., but after the sale the control is expected to pass to Cincinnati Hami'ton & Dayton interests, per plan announced last June. (V . 66, p. 10431—V. 67, p. 1002.

Chicago & West Michigan Ry.—Coupon sin Full in Cash.— Announcement is made that coupon No. 34, due Dec. 1, 1898, of the Chicago & West Michigan Railway Company 5 per cent bonds, w ill be paid in full on and after that date upon presentation at the National Webster Bank, 87 Milk Street. Boston, Mass., as w ill also the coupons of all issues of the coupon scrip.—V. 67, p. 842.

Cincinnati Gas Lis lit & Coke Co.—New Stock.—The stock­holders w ill vote Dec. 21 upon a resolution to increase the capital stock from $8,500,000 to $9,000,00 '. The money is needed for extensions. Stockholders w ill be allowed to sub­scribe at the ratio of about one share for every twenty held.

Cincinnati New Orleans & Texas Pacific Ry.—Negotia­tions.—A committee consisting of John W. Warrington, Briggs S. Cunningham and Frank L Perin was appointed recently by the Doughty over-issue creditors to consider a reposition made t® them through a New York broker. It is elieved the proposition came from the road that sought to

buy the property two years ago.—V. 67, p. 948, 950.Colorado Midland Railway— Busk Tunnel.—No Agree­

ment.—Negotiations between the Colorado Midland and Busk Tunnel interests are reported off because of the in • sistence of the Tunnel people for a bond secured by a mort­gage on the tunnel rather than the bonds of the railroad company covering all the property.—V. 67, p. 900; V. 66, p. 1187.

Columbus & Cincinnati Midland RR.—Baltimore & OhioRR.—Offer for Deposited Bonds.—George Stevenson, of the committee representing the Columbus & Cincinnati Midland first mortgage bonds, has, after considerable negotiations, received an offer from the reorganization managers of the Baltimore & Ohio reorganization committee to purchase, at 94 flat, in cash, the trust certificates of the Guarantee Trust & Safe Deposit Co. for the first mortgage 4% per cent bonds deposited. The offer of 94 flat in cash is for the committee’s certificates and is free of all expenses to the depositors, the purchasers paying the committee’s expenses. The offer is ac­ceptable to the committee, which is recommending its accept­ance. Depositors, as far as heard from, seem to be well satisfied with the result, and it is expected the sale w ill soon be ratified.—V. 67, p. 954, 955, 1052, 1054, 1057.

Denver Leadville & Gunnison RR .—Colorado & Southern Ry .—Purchased —The Denver Leadville & Gunnison Ry. was purchased at foreclosure sale on Nov. 18 by Henry Budge, Charles A. Peabody, Jr., and Henry De Coppet, representing the bondholders, for $1,500,000. The system, embracing 324 miles of narrow gauge track and extensive terminal facilities in Denver and Leadville, w ill be turned over to the Colorado & Southern Railway (the reorganized Union Pacific Denver & Gulf), under the plan already an­nounced (V. 67, p. 748).—V. 67, p. 842, 957.

Detroit & Lima Northern Ry.—Lima Northern Ry — Reorganization Notice.—A committee consisting of John E. Borne, President Colonial Trust Co.; Jules S Bsche, of J. S. Bache&Co.; Eugene A. Merrill, President. Minnesota Liau & Trust Co.; Philip Lehman, of Lehman Bros., and EdwardL. Oppenheim, of E L. Oppenheim & Co., with Frederick J. Lisman, as Secretary, 30 Broad Street, has undertaken to act for the protection of the first mortgage bonds of both these companies and to formulate a plan of reorganization. As suit is pending for the foreclosure of the mortgages, in which receivers of the property

have been appointed, and as receiver’s certificates have been authorized and partly issued, it is important that prompt action should be taken. An agreement has been prepared under which bondholders are invited to deposit their bonds with the Colonial Trust Co.. No. 220 Broad­way, New York City, on or before Dec. 6, 1898. A majority of the bonds has already been deposited.—V. 67, p. 955.

Elm ira (N . Y .) Municipal Improvement Co., E lm ira Water, L igh t & Street Railway Co.—Reorganization Plan.— A committee consisting of George W . Young, Walter G. Oakman, James Timpson and Edward C. Jones has prepared and adopted pursuant to the protective agreement of Oct. 22, 1897, a plan for the reorganization of the com­pany. Copies may be obtained from the depositary, the United States Mortgage & Trust Co., 59 Cedar st. Holders of securities are invited to assent to the plan and become parties to the agreement by promptly depositing their securi­ties. In December, 1897, the Guaranty Trust Co., N. Y., brought suit to foreclose the $1,800,000 mortgage of 1942, of which $1,461,000 bonds were outstanding, and H. A. Murray, Treasurer and Secretary of the Guaranty Trust Co., was made receiver of the Improvement Co.

The plan provides that a new company to be called the Elmira Water, Light & Street Ry. Co., or by some other appropriate title, shall be organized to take over the property and. to issue.First mortgaoe, fifty-year 5% gold bonds, bearing date Jan. 1, 1899,

F r i d a y N ig h t , November 25, 1898,The observance of a mid-week national holiday has had a

tendency to interrupt business to some extent. A sey ere snow storm has been experienced in the Northwest and „ his also has had a tendency to interfere with general bnsin ess activity in that section of the country. A t the close o f the week the more wintry weather had been experienced in prac­tically all quarters of the Republic. Confidence in the gen­eral business situation has continued quite pronounced and in speculative circles the general tendency of prices has been toward- a higher basis. A continued active export de­mand lias been a feature ia the markets for breadstuff a. Reports from the South to the effect that indications are that the cotton crop has been somewhat over-estimated has attracted slightly more outside speculative interest. More favorable progress has been made by the Peace Com­missioners at Paris and at the close of the week indications were that an agreement had been practically reached.

Lard on the 3pot has had only a limited sale. Early in the week prices advanced, but at the close, owing to the slowness of the demand, prices weakened slightly, closing at 5'27kfc. for prime Western and 5c. for prime City. Refined lard has advanced, but the close was quiet and easier at 5 55a. for re­fined for the Continent. Speculation in lard for future de­livery has been moderately active. Early in the week prices advanced on a demand from shorts to cover contracts and buying by outsiders. Subsequently, however, selling by packers caused part of the improvement to bis lost. The close was quiet.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has been sligh tly more active. There has been some broadening of the specu­lative interest shown in the situation, and there has been a slight upward turn to values. Outsiders have done a little more trading, commission houses, as a rule, reporting some improvement in the run of orders, which, with few excep­tions, have been to buy. Regular operators as a rule have appeared to show more confidence in the situation, the feeling in the local trade being more favorable to better prices than for some time past, and there has been some buying by local and foreign shorts to cover contracts. The principal strengthening feature has been advices received from the South stating that it was the general impression that the crop had been somewhat over-estimated, as shown by the fact that the general tendency has been to lower estimates. The movement of the crop has continued large and this has had a tendency to make some of the leading bear operators more aggressive in the operations at any improvement in values; consequently this ha3 held the advance in check to some extent. Foreign aivices have been favorable for higher prices, as Liverpool has reported a slight advance in futures and business in the spot market has continued fairly active. To-day the market was fairly active, but the tone was somewhat unsettled. At the opening prices were slightly higher on buying by out siders ; then came a reaction on free selling : after this selling had subsided prices again im­proved slightly. Toward the close, however, under the large movement of the crop, values again eased off a few points. Final prices were 1 point higher for November, but other months were 1 to 3 points lower for the day. Cotton on the spot was advanced l-16c on Monday. To-day the market was firm at unchanged prices, closing at 5 7-16c. for midling up­lands.

On the basis of the rates on and off middling as established by the Revision Committee, the prices for a few of the grades would be as follows:

The falling off in the Northwestern crop movement, however, it wa* generally understood, has been due to the inter­ruption of railroad traffic by snow-blockades. The ex­port demand lias been well up to that experienced earlier in the fall, the purchases averaging slightly in ex­ec** of 1.UOO.QUQ bushels daily, the balk o f which has been spring wheat. The demand baa been about evenly divided between tbe United Kingdom and the Continent. Early in the week a large increase in the supply of wheat in sight ■ auwd a temporary flight reaction in values. To-day there was an easier market in response to weaker foreign advices, and under real iking sale* by longs, closing 1 jbr 'jj'c, lower for the day, ftusine** in the spot market was fairly active, as exporter* continued buyers; their purchases here and at out- porta reported as amounting to 800,000 bushels.

There has been more activity to the speculative dealings in the market for Indian corn futures, and the tendency of price* has been toward* a higher basis. The improvement was most pronounced early in the week, stronger foreign ad­vice* and an active export demand being the principal *tr*n*thv!:hjg feature*, the export purchases for the week b*re aod v. >«!tporta averaging in excess of &0fi,000 bushels daily, and on Tuesday tbe purchase* exceeded 1,000,000 bush

W- ire • lay there was a flight reaction to value*, under tier eased pressure to sell, prompted by the belief that the * 1 >*d weather in the corn belt would raise the grade of the er p. To-day the market was slightly easier under realising «*b* by long*. Tbe spot market was fairly active and about *t**df. Sals* for export here and at outports were 510 '100 bushel*.

THE DRY GOODS TRADEN ew Y ork, F r id a y , P. M., November 25. 1898

| 'Although the week hag been broken in upon by the Thanks­giving holiday, the aggregate resnlts in the cotton goods division compare favorably with previous weeks. The gen­eral trade demand has shown an improvement in volume, while the low prices for bleached cotton* noted last week have evoked quite a liberal demand in that particular divi­sion. Exporters are still in the market for heavy brown •ottons, and their purchases make some amend for aquiet home demand. Reports of retail distribution are encouraging, and as there is a disposition to regard tbe raw cotton market a* haying seen its worst and likely in future to prove a stregth- >oing factor, the tone of tbe market at the close is dis­tinctly more cheerful than for some time past. In the woolen go ids division the market has not undergone any change of moment. The demand shows some expansion, but there are -till too many mills short of work for the situation to be sat isfactory. There are few complaints heard on the score of collections, payments as a rule being promptly made.

W oolen G oods.—Tbe demand for spring weights of men’s wear woolen and worsted fabrics shows some improvement in volume, an increased number of re-orders coming to hand. Both wholesale clothiers and cloth jobbers are, however, still buying conservatively, and the situation is not yet an entirely ea isfactory one. Sellers are firm on such lines as serges and C ays, but in fancies, particularly in goods of low quality, there is considerable irregularity in prices. There are reports of business doing in new heavy-weights for next fall, but agents are not yet openly upon the market, and sales are male more or less subject to developments. Satinets are dull and doeskin jeans inactive. Businesg in new heavy­weight overcoatings has been moderate and in cloakings sales are of indifferent volume. Dress goods for spring have sold to a little fuller extent than of late, but tbe majority o f agente still complain o f poor resnlts. Flannels and blankets quiet and unchanged.

Fair sales for export have been reported in heavy sheetings and drills and prices of these are firm. Four-yard goods in better demand but generally easy to buv. Fine yarn light weights have sold fairly and are against buyers in price. Duck dull and easy; brown osnaburgs quiet and unchanged. Sales of bleached cottons in fine and medium grades have been liberal, and the market at the close is firmer. Low grades quiet but supported by the strength in print cloths. Wide sheetings irregular, with fair sales. Cot­ton flannels and blankets quietly steady. Denims in moderate request, but stocks much reduced lately and prices steady. Ticks are quiet and plaids in steady demand at previous prices. Other coarse, colored cottons quiet and unchanged. Kid-finishedcambrics quiet but firm, in sympathy with print cloths. Business in regular lines of printed calicoes has been of average volume. Shirting prints sell well for spring and fair business in new fancy calicoes subject to opening prices. Printed specialties in both fine and low grades in fair re­quest. Ginghams in all staple makes of both staple and dress styles are well sold and firm in price. Regular print cloths have ruled firm at 2 1 16c. with a limited business; odd goods occasionally l-16c. higher.

F oreign Dr y G oods.—In the woolen goods division im­porters of both men’s-wear and dress goods fabrics are much dissatisfied, only a poor spring business being secured up to date. Silks are in moderate demand and steady. Ribbons and laces quiet. Hosiery and underwear dull and irregular. Linens steady, with a moderate business.I m p o r t a t i o n * a n d W a r e h o u s e W i t h d r a w a l * o f D » G o o d *

traded. Air. .1. Frank Snpplee, City Register, writes us to say that this is a mistake—that there is no such limitation, it appears that the original draft of the charter contained a section embracing the words above quoted, but that this was stricken out by the Legislature prior to the adoption of the

! charter.Council Bluffs, Iowa.— Bonds T e m p o ra r ily E n jo in e d .—

<T. J. Shea has petitioned the courts to enjoiu the issuance of the $150,000 4>45! bonds recently authorized to fund outstand­ing warrants " Air. Shea claims that the warrants to be funded are illegal because the same were issued in excess of the 5% constitutional limit of indebtedness. Mr. Shea has raised this same question as to the debt limit several times daring the last year in other suits and has been defeated.

Dallas, Texas.— P rop osed Netv C ity C h a rte r.—The City Council on November 10, 1898, passed a resolution ordering that application be made to the next Legislature for a new city charter. The present charter, although in operation less than two years, has, it is stated, proved very unsatisfactory.

Findlay, Ohio.— Proposed Sale o f Gas P la n t ,—The City Council has under consideration a proposition from William B. Cutter to purchase the city gas plant for $100,UtO. A suit brought by several taxpayers to prevent this resulted in the Court holding that the Council has the power to dispose of the plant if it so desires. Judge Melhorn, in his decision, held that the municipal right to acquire gas plants was fixed by general laws, and that such property was of the same nature as water-works, and therefore it was not necessary to have special legislative action to sell the plant. An appeal, it is stated, will be taken to the Circuit Court.

Green County, Ky.—Tare D ec is ion .— fudge Barr, in the United States Court ou November 15, 1898, handed down an opinion in a case that has been pending for many years. In 1878 George Thomas and others filed suit, to compel the pay­ment of coupons aggregating, it is stated, $20,000 on Green County railroad aid bonds, Judgment was then given against the county in default. The Court at that time or­dered the county to levy a sufficient tax to satisfy the judg­ment, hut no residents of the county would serve as tax col­lectors. The taxpayers in order to evade the collection of the tax also refused to elect a Sheriff. The present decision of Judge Barr orders that further steps he taken to collect the tax, and inasmuch as the county citizens refuse to serve as collector, the plaintiffs have a right, the Judge holds, to designate any citizen, whether a resident of the county or not, to collect the tax.

Lawrence County, S. Dak.— Bonds V a lid .— We take the fol­lowing despatch, dat. d Deadwood, November 9, from the Minneapolis "Journal.” “The famous Lawrence County bond suit, which has been in the courts a number of years, was settled this week by Judge Amidon of North Dakota, in favor of the plaintiff, H. L. Jewell. Several years ago the Commissioners of Lawrence County floated $800,000 of 5<t bonds with which to take up the same amount of bonds carry­ing 10;{. The 10% bonds were not due for ten years and some of the holders refused to surrender them. As a consequence there was an increased indebtedness of the county amount­ing to about $179,000 of the 5% bonds which had been sold. Three years ago the commissioners attempted to repudiate this much of the 5% bonds. The case has been in court ever since and Judge Amidon decides that the county will have to- pay the full amount of the bonds.”

Macon County, Mo.—Rond L it ig a t io n .—We take the fol­lowing dispatch from Hannibal dated November 19, 1898, from the St. Louis “Globs Democrat:” “A suit to renew judgment in the case of Bradley A. Griffin of New York vs. Macon County, involving $28,851 10, was filed to-day in the United States Circuit Court. The amount is the'interest und principal of certain railroad bonds issued by Macon County.

Maryland.—State to Sell In te res t in C ana l.—On November 18, 1898, the Board of Public Works decided to advertise for sale all the State's holdings in the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Some years ago the State’s interest in the canal was figured at $20,052,724 14, computed as follows: Common stock, $788,- 724 41: preferred stock, $4,375,000; mortgage under Act of 1874, $2,1X0,000; unpaid guaranteed dividends for fifty six years, $14,689,000, and unpaid interest for sixty years, $7 200,- COO. Since there have been further unpaid accumulations of interest. The canal securities have never earned for the State any returns. After the freshet of 1889, which nearly demolished the canal, a receiverwas appointed. Ou October

1890, Judge Alvey passed a decree for the sale of the canal, t ut suspended the operation of the decree until May 1, 1895, and in January, 1894, it was further suspended until May,1901. Ibis was done at the instance of (he trustees of tire holders of the bonds of 1844, a chance being given them to "pi rate dniing these yearB in older to demonstrate that the

ie mad to pay. The State of Maryland owns a majority of the stock of the canal, and the purchaser of this tic k will control the organization of the company. Whether

i hose acquiring the property will he able to get it out of the bauds of the Court is a question. The purchaser of the canal will have intake all risks of prior liens. The lien which mlic priority over all others is the mortgage of 1878 for $500,- nu'i. with accrued interest, amounting to about $300,000 more.' ne tX)n'*s 1 s/j4 arfc Recuted by fi mortgage hip on the reve-

of the -canal and not upon the corpus. These amount, with accrued interest, to almost $6,'000.050 -It is stated that ihe majority of bonds of 1878, as well as those of 1844, are in the hands oi persons friendly to the Baltimore & Ghio Railroad.

Mississippi.— Am endm ent to the C on s titu tion C a rr ie d .— At the election held November 8,1898, the amendment to the Constitution ceding the control of the Mississippi levees to the United States Government carried by a large majority. These levees have been a source of great expense to the coun ties maintaining them, and their acceptance by the U. S. Government would relieve these counties of a great and in­creasing burden of taxation.

Montgomery County, Ky.— B on d E le c tion D ec is ion .— 'We have received the following letter from Thomas J. Bigstaff, attorney-at-law, relative to a case brought to determine whether or not the bond proposition voted upon at the recent election received the legal majority. Mr. Bigstaff says:

“ The ease of Montgomery Fiscal Court vb. John C. Trimble, recently decided by the Kentucky Court ot Appeals, nas not yet been published in our Ken tucky Law Reporter or Official Reports. In fact I think the time tor filing petition lor rehearing has hardly expired, so the opinion has not been sent out to the parties. However, I have seen a newspaper report which announces that the case has been reversed. This suit was brought in oar Montgomery Circuit Court by one o f our Magistrates, Squire Trimble, to ^ ttle the question as to whether or not the bond issue carried at the last election. The Acts of 1896 of our Legislature provides that if two thirds o f the legal voters voting on said

roposltion vote in favor of the proposition, then saidiFiscal Court shall issue onds as provided herein. It was tound that two-thirds of ail the votes cast

on ah the questions at the election was not cast in favor o f the bond issue, and it was generaliv thought especially in view of the case o f Belknapjvg. City of Louisville, reported in Ky., page 4*1— that the bond issue did nut carry, so it would seem that the Court of Appeals has taken back its ruling in that case in deciding that twoithirds o f the voles cast on this particular question, and not upon all the questions voted xor. control.”

Norwalk, Conn.—Bonds I lle g a lly V oted .— Some time ago suit was brought to eDjoin the delivery of $3 0,01)0 3J jt funding bonds awarded last August to Farson, Leaca & Co., New York. The ground on which this suit was entered was that the vote authorizing the bonds was illegal, as the no­tices calling the meeting were signed by the Selectmen’s Clerk, whereas the law says that thev must be signed per­sonally. Judge Wheeler, m the Superior Court, has decided against the town, and a new meeting has now been called, at which the vote will be taken over again.

Oneida County, Wis.—D iv is io n o f Tow n.—The County Board has voted to divide the town of Pelican (consisting of eleven townships) into two new towns, to be named Newbold and Sugar Camp.

Oxford, N. C.—Bonds V a lid .—Judge Purnell, in the United States District Court, recently decided a suit of long standing. In 1891 the town voted to subscribe to $40,000 bonds of the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad Co., and a year later refused to pay them on the ground that the railr ad company was not carrying out its part of the contract. The suit which resulted was compromised by the town subscrib­ing for ODe-half the original amount. Bonds were issued in 1692, and two years later their legality was questioned on the ground that the election was held without authority of law. In 1895 the State Supreme Court held that the bonds were invalid because issued under an Act of the Legislature which had been passed irregularly. It appears that in the Lower House the second and third reading of the bill was com passed on the same day instead of on separate dat s. That decision was appealed to the United States District Court and has now been reversed, Judge Purnell following an old decision of the Supreme Court in which it was held that an Act signed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House is law.

Providence, R. I.—New C ity C h a rte r.—At a recent meet­ing of the Common Council, the proposed new charter for the city was presented. Under this charter, the city is authorized to issue bonds, which shall be exempt from all taxation under any law of the State of Rhode Island, but it is provided that the limit of indebtedness shall not exceed 10 per centum of the assessed valuation of real estate. The charter also provides that no ordinance authorizing bonds shall be passed unless it receive the affirmative vote of two- thirds of all the members of the Common Council.

South Dakota.—Am endm ents Voted and D efeated .— A t the general election held November 8. 1898, three amendments to the State Constitution were voted upon with the follow­ing results as indicated from the latest returns. Women suffrage was defeated by a majority of over three thousand; State control of the liquor traffic, the vote was very close, with the chances slightly in iavor of the proposition. The Swiss initiative and referendum carried by a very large major­ity. This amendment provides that wheu 5% of the votera of the State petition for a law on any subject that the Legisla­ture Bhall frame such a law and submit it to the voters at the next election.

Vermont.— T a x B i l l D efea ted .— On November 22, 1898, the State Senate, by a vote of 15 to 14, defeated wbat is com­monly known as “Governor Smith's Taxation Bill.” This bill passed the House on November 17, 1898, and its purpose was to attract people of wealth to Vermont by offering in ducements through a special board of tax commissioners empowered to make a contract for taxes for a period of not more than thirty years.

Victor, Col. - Bond L it ig a t io n .—Suit has been entered in the District Court against the city by Channing Sweet to recover $945 claimed as unpaid on bonds owned by the plaintiff.

Wilkes County, JT. C.—Bonds Ille g a l.—A recent decision of the Snpreme Court declares illegal $100,000 bonds issued in aid of the Northwestern North Carolina Railroad. The bonds were iksudd Tinder an Act of the General Assefnbly ratified February 20, 1879. IMis Act" was not passed, it iq claimed, in accordance wftn the'mandatory provisions of the CdhStitutidn, fn that there Whs no call' o f the ayes ahd'ijoeS on the Second passage of the bill in the House.

Willapa (Pacific Couuty, Wash.,) School District.— B on d L it ig a t io n .— W e take the following dispatch from South Bend, Wash., dated November 11, 1898, from the Portland “Oregonian

The Marble Savings Bank has instituted a suit to compel the County Com­missioners to levy a tax to pay interest coupons due on $5.0)0 worth of willapa school bonds. Tne last interest coupons paid were those dated August l, 1895. Since then the School Board has retused to pay interest, on the grounds that the bonds were illegal, and it legal that other sell >ol districts which have been split off from Willapa since the bonds were voted should pay their share. A suit which was instituted about a year ago against the district by the bond­holders was throwu out o f court on technicalities an 1 the merits of the case have never be^u tried. According to the law passed by the last Legislature the Commissioners make the tax levies t » pay interest on all bonds, and they did so in every instance except tnat o f Willapa, where the Board forbade them to do so. The interest now due amounts to $i.o50.
