Electric Consolidation

According to the New York Sun, no sat-
isfactory statement has been made Of the
real significance of the incorporation of the
New York Gas and Electric Light, Heat and
Power company, capitalized at $25, ,O0O, 900,
but everybody is Of the opinion that ''some
big deal is on" All sorts of rumors sprang
up during the week in connection with the
incorporation of the mysterious company
and the activity in traction stock trading.
The consolidation Of electric lighting in
terests and of electric traction interests is
an old story in the business world. All over
the United States, where electrical develop
ment is years ahead of that in Europe-the
trolley is only in the experimental stage
over there-electric lighting companies have
found it to their interest to consolidate,
and SO have the traction companies. Con-
solidation means decreased expenses and in
creased earnings, to say nothing Of the bust
ness advantages of furnishing light and sur
face transit to city without the ruinous re-
suits of sharp competition. The consolida-
tion of electric interests in Brooklyn has
come as matter of course, and it excites no
wonder. in financial circles. But the pur-
pose of the $25, 900 company is not SO
plain. Not that $25, 900 900 is very large
amount, for the capital stock of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit company alone is $780,
0oo, ,0oo.. Many close followers Of the mar
kets think the New York Gas and Electric
porated as a part of the scheme to consoli-
date the Brooklyn electric interests, per-
haps Of both the lighting and traction inter-
entl.

The Taxation on Bonds

Internal Revenue Commissioner Scott has
given Collector Treat of the Second dis
trict the following instructions in regard
to taxation ON bonds: "The question to be
determined is what is an issue of bonds
under the law which would subject the
bonds to the taxation of cents on each
800 Of face value or fraction thereof. This
office holds that whenever q corporation is
sues a bond and there accrues to the cor
poration q benefit or consideration for is
euing the same the bond is subject to taxa
ton. This rule will, therefore, exempt from
taxation a registered bond sent in by A for
cancellation, with directions to issue in its
stead q bond to B and register it in BIS
name. This ruling would also exempt from
taxation the issuing of registered bond
In lieu of coupon bond, both being issued
by the same corporation.
"After the corporation has placed upon
the market all it's bonds and buys in, say
$4,000 worth of them, it has again acquired
title to the bonds. Should they issue these
bonds again this office would consider that
they receive consideration or benefit by
issuing them, and rules that on the issuance
of these bonds there would be imposed a tax
Of cents on each 500 face value. So, there
fore, when corporation has passed title to
its bond to person or persons
and this person or persons desire them
transferred to another person, this transfer
Is not to be considered as an issue subjecting
the issued bond to taxation. Where the
title to the bond issued il in the company
issuing It, this Office considers that It re-
ceives . benefit or consideration on the is
suance of this bond, and it is subject to tax
ation."

Last year, 1t will be seen, showed heavy
excess of imports, f5,034, ,447. Exports
have grown 40 per cent in four years, while
imports have expanded less than 30 per
cent, and in, 1897 there was heavy decline
in imports, whereas exports increased.
Abundant crops on the one hand and the
steady decline in value Of silver on the other
are credited with discouraging imports. Man
ufacturers of textiles in this country will
be interested to know that the development
of the "textile industry in Mexico is not
confined to cotton but is being extended also
to wooden and linen goods" There is still,
however, he says, good market for woolen
and worsted tissues, especially those of high
quality, and among other articles for which
there appear to be openings for trade to be
pushed he mentions mining, agricultural
and industrial machinery in general, print
ing presses and printers type, high class
furnishing hardwares and paints. lncideu-
tally Mr.. Garden refers to the annual excess
of imports over exports, as to which he
writes: "Of the $3.50 900 annual excess of
exports over imports, f2,70O,O0O are ac-
counted for by the remittances for the SER
vice of the debt and the earnings of rail
ways, and the remaining fSO0,00O, plus the
amount Of such foreign capital as may have
been invested in any one year in Mexico,
but was not remitted here in the form Of
specie or merchandise, must represent the
interest on capital invested in commercial
or industrial enterprises Of all kinds by indi-
viduals or companies domiciled abroad"

American Rice Crop Conditions

Talmage's monthly review Of the rice crop

subsequent untoward weather left it's crop

A Sugar Trust War

War has at last broken out, says Brad
streets, in the sugar refining trade between
the American Sugar Refining company and
the independent refners, including the
Messrs. Arbuckle, whose new mandatory
is now in active operation, the Mollenhauer
works and others. The Messrs. Doscher's
plant for sugar refining in Brooklyn is also
nearing completion and is expected to be.
come an active factor in the fray during the
present month 1t would seem that the
American Sugar Refining company, or, as it
is commonly called, the sugar trust, has
adopted an aggressive policy, cutting prices
for all grades Of refined sugar with the evi-
dent intention OF eliminating the profit
from the business. It's independent COM
petitors have, however, taken up the gage
Of battle and have met and in some cases
exceeded the cuts of the trust. The result
is that all parties are selling refined sugar
on the basis of ~ cents pound for the
standard granulated grade, which figure
represents a drop of \ of a cent within
fortnight. In the same period raw sugar
has declined only trife, the difference be-
tween raw and refined being calculated at
less than n a cent, which 1t is claimed
means an absence of any profit to either the
trust or it's opponents. 1t would: indeed,
seem that the American comDany has chos
en- to make a fight which will be a test of
endurance, relying on its surplus to carry
the contest to victorious conclusion.
