American Securities Abroad

A remarkable illustration, not only of the
increased favor in which American securi-
ties are held in the English money and Sc
curities market, but of the dearth of high
grade investment securities, is afforded.
says Rradstreet's, by the r..eption accorded
there to an issue of $l0. 0OD, 600 Of per cent
bonds of the Southern Pacific railroad of
California, offered to su3.cr pton in Lon.
don conformity with their presentation TO
the American public. Ii seems that when
the subscription closed in London the ap.
plcations amounted to some twenty-five
times the total amount of :he bonds, and
that in making allotments it was only posi-
tle to give subscribers a small proportion of
what they desired to take. 1t may be pre.
mature to point to this as an Indication that
Europe has developed a renewed confidence
in and buying demand for Our railroad and
other securities, but it Is not an unwar.
ranted conclusion that the steady outpour
cf American investments from abroad has
been checked and that the process of re-
absorption Of bonds and stocks Of our rail.

possibly to be a factor o; no small import

The Mint Directors Report

Limitations of space do not permit of any
extended reference to the report of the di-
rector of the mint, which was given out late
this week, but it is worth noting here, say :
Bradstreets, that the gold coinage of the
world in 1897 was the largest recorded,
amounting to $437 ,342, which was an in
crease over $24l 100000 as compared with
that for the year before. OF the total
amount coined over S29l, ,0OO, 900 represented
a net addition to the stock of gold coins.
The remarkable volume of gold coinage for
the year is accounted for by the preparations
of Russia, Austria Hungary and Japan for
their monetary reforms. Special reference
is made to the completion of Russias plans
of monetary reform and the opening to the
uses of commerce of her great gold re-
serve, which has been Systematically gath
cred year by ytT, until it has become, Di-
rector Roberts says, the greatest single
hoard of treasure the world ever saw. There
is little comfort for those who would change
the worlds monetary standard in the facts
set forth in the report under review, for
great as the worlds production of gold was
last year, the returns already in for the
present year indicate that its yield will be
as much in excess Of that for 1897 as the
production for that year was over that for
1896.

escape the attention of the outsider is the
fact that the companies earnings have been
mainly on annual policies written in 1897,
and term policies in that year, 1896, 1895,
1894 and 1893. As rates are averaging
lower in 1898 than heretofore, owing to the
innumerable rate reductions throughout the
country, company managers state that the
present figures are inadequate to yield prof
its when they are put to the test of actual
experience in the running off Of business
written under them. The profits soon to
be displayed are therefore not good evidence
Of satisfactory condition Of fire insuranc
affairs.
"The statements for the year ending DE.
cember 81, 1890, will consequently not make
as good showing as those soon to be made
public, even though rates are raised, as the
1890 results will be largely based upon the
rates charged during 1898. Taken as a
whole the fire insurance business Of the
country seems to be in bad shape, and the
principal difficulty at the present time seems
to be the lack of confidence in the good faith
of one another, which induces prominent
companies to retire from organizations
formed to regulate rates and commissions.
1t will require radical changes to again put
the fire underwriting on healthy basis,
particularly in the western states, which
now appear to be on the verge Of democrat.

Tokens and Trade Checks

Judge Grosscup of the United States cir
cult court at Chicago, held, in the case OF
the United States VS.. Hanson, that the is
suance of the trade checks is not a vic
lation of the United States statutes forbid
ding the issuance of tokens intended to be
used as currency The trade checks in 1ues-
tion contained on one side such inscriptions
as Good for fifty in merchandise" ard on
the other the initials of the name of trad
ing company. The court said: Il do not
think there is any resemblance between any
of these metal pieces and any of the coins
OF the United States, therefore there is no
counterfeiting. If token means something
issued in resemblance OF the coin of the
United States, these pieces of metal do not
fall within the definition. Ii it means, as
its wider significance in scme dictionaries
would seem to indicate, that it stands sim.
ply in the place Of coin, then it would fail
within the provision of the statute. My
own belief is that the purpose OF this statute
would look to the forbidding of the ssu-
ance of any metal pieces that so resemble
the coin of the United States tina. they
might easily be mistaken for the coin of the
United States. think there must be some
points of resemblance. do not know why
a merchant may not issue pasteboard
check, and If so a metal check announcing
that they stand good at his counter for a
certain amount OF goods. 1t is certainly
done widely and has been done widely. In
the case of such things as milk tickets and
other matters that are peddled from house
to house, where it would be great incon
venience to pay every time an article is
delivered, people buy their tickets in large
quantities, and don't see any difference in
substance between pasteboard check and
these metal pieces"

ON CHANGE

NEW YORK. Dec. 8. There was no
marked change in the character Of the
market today from that which has pre-
vailed for several days past. Activity was
for the most part confined to the special
ties and the extreme range in the price Of
many leading railroad stocks did not ex-
coed non: London was seller Of Ameri-
was easier at that center, in spite Of the
additional withdrawal Of over sl. 900, 600 in
gold from the Bank OF England, presum-
ably for shipment to Germany. London's
offerings Of stock here were fairly well alb
sorbed, but there was no increased demand.
The Changers were remarkably dull and
sluggish. In spite of the st. Paul statement
for the fourth week in November showing
a level Of earnings, notwithstanding the
bad weather prevailing. never before ex-
ceeded except in 1892. There was a slight
pressure of realizing sales In Northern,
Union and Central Pacifics but In the case
of the latter there was a subsequent re-
bound Of 1ss. Sugar dropped sharp frac-
reduction Of the price Of products. but this
specially afterwards moved strongly up
wards on covering Of shorts. Pacific Mail
was also a strong feature, and moved up

THE TRUST COMPANIES
HOW THEY HAVE ENCROACHED
UPON THE BANKING FIELD
TOKENS AND TRADE CHECKS
American Securities in England-A
Digest of Fire Insurance Condi-
tions-Mint Directors Report
OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
Los Angeles, Dec. 5, 1893.


1t is not to be denied that trust compa-
nies are performing valuable work in their
chosen field, but the boundaries of this par
ticular territory have been so enlarged with
in recent years as to include practically the
entire business of banking. Originally de-
signed, says the New York Financier, to
care for estates, to act as trustees and to
perform certain tasks which bank cannot
well assume, they have grown until their
title suggests instinctively the function Of
banking without the legal restrictions and
the burdens imposed on institutions whose
principal income is derived from discount
ing. For this reason it has been assumed
that the opposition of banks proper, as
against the rival corporations, arises
through jealousy, but this is not true. in
New York city, especially, the banks feel
the burden of trust company competition.
and since the number of these institutions
in Boston is increasing, while the number ot
banks is decreasing, it is only natural
to infer that similar conditions exist there
Philadelphia, too, is a city of trust compa
nies; in fact, in all large centers of popula-
tion, unless previously enacted legislation
prevents, the trust company as source o..
financial power is a factor that has to be
reckoned with.
TO criticise the trust company because it
enjoys privileges and advantages denied to
others is idle. 1t is, as stated above, full
filling a valuable mission, and as there is
little hope that the powers it now possesses
will be minimized, the banks can do moth
ing better than to continue pressure for
an expansion of their own opportunities in
directions which will place them on more
even footing with their competitors. In
New York and perhaps in other cities where
the method of local taxation is so mani
festly discriminative in its application, coz
rectons on this ground may be desirable,
but the trust company question, SO called,
will not be settled on the ground of taxes
alone. The problem is a broad one and it
will not be solved until the field which each
institution is to occupy is defined arbitrarily
rather than by interpretations of laws con-
fusing in the premises. Some day, perhaps,
ii congress does its duty, the banks will be
granted authority to utilize their assets in
manner that will enable them to recover
a great deal of the ground now pre4empted
by competitive trust companies, but until
that time arrives, the competition promises
to remain unequal

ment reflects the active business Of the

the interior do not appear to have been In
the volume estimated. Whatever gain was
made, however, has been offset by the
treasury operations. The money market
has a complicated series Of circumstances

that a considerable number of the fire
insurance companies will exhibit substantial

factor this year in swelling the book profits
