patIWxY FORECLOSURES.

The disheartep,ng record of railroad fore
closures for the first half of 1856 is liable to be
misunderstood. When merchant allows
note to 20 to protest. and his name ls entered
on the list of failures, it is commonly under
stood that the declared failure is only result
of disasters met and losses sustained months OF
perhaps years before. But railroad lore
closure marks still later stage of proceedings
After the merchant has failed, ana perhaps
many months after, there come stoppage OF
negotiations for settlement or compromise,
surrender of property to creditors, and hnally
sale. The kindred step, in the case OF rail-
road failures is likely to be defer ed long
time after the actual default, just as the tom
of default comes long after tho fatal loss was
sustained. For time corporation Keeps
itself alive by increasing debt ts OF all sorts,
and particularly floating debts, and default
rarely comes until its power OF increasing ueDt
has been exhausted. So after default, nego-
tatiOns with various parties OF creditors often
occupy considerable time, before formal pro-
ceedings in the courts result In the appoint
ment OF q receiver and then many months OF
fatness for the lawyers follow before the busl-
ness is closed by sale.
the record of railroad foreclosures must follow
the period of financial collapse. as that period
follows the meeting Of fatal losses by several
months or years. 1t was not until 1873 that
the sales following the panic OF 1873 reached
SOD, 100000 in q single year, but then the
amount of stock and bonds affected was
1910, O,000,0 900. SO the sales this year are but
the slowly ripenng fruit of the disasters and
frauds of 1884 and previous years. Scarcely
one of them can be traced to losses within the
past eighteen months. The courts are not 50
prompt as that, nor are railroad lawyers so in
different to their own gains.
Seventeen roads have been sold during the
first half of 1856, with 5, 1872 miles IN opera
ticn, while the amount of their bonded debt
was $1G3, $4,000, and of their stock
SIPS, 100000. The Chicago Rdilwdy Age,
which has compiled these returns tOr a long
time, states that 1this is the worst showing
made during the corresponding period for many
years." and il already exceeds the aggregate
for the entire year 1895. Securities amounting
TO more than 1921, 100000 are affected by
these sales, and were therefore tied up for some
time before the sales by the pending legal pro-
ceedings. This circumstance goes far to ex-
plain some financial EN- baTassments in 1885.
1t also brings promise of brighter days, foI
after such extensive liquidation vast amount
of capital is set free to sustain new enterprises.
The losses, perhaps exceeding $15D,OOO,OO in
amount, were really sustained two years ago or
more, and the securities which have now been
wiped out of existence had ceased to possess
any real value before the court DEGREES were
recorded. In fact, many of them never had a
real value approaching the nominal value rep
resented, so that the amount of loss, in any true
sense, must be far less than the sum in n1icated
by comparison of the par value of old and new
securities.

POLICE TELEPHONES


The New-YoIk police authorities have not
yet decided to introduce the telephone INTO the

The telephone has become indispensable to the

The wreck of the Gate City in Vineyard
Sound was happily unattended by loss of life !;
but the company that Owned her must hate
bitterly to think of the damage done to their

no safety for vessel but to stop moving en-
tney. The Gate City was advancing slowly
and man was hcaving the lead when she
struck but the point is that she struck and II
she had not been moving at all this accident
