EARNINGS OF RAILWAYS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Gross earnings
of all railroads in the United States re-
porting for the first week Of August are
s5.726.712. a gain of 3.5 per cent over
last year and 17.9 per cent over the corre-
spending week OF 1900. Nearly all classes
of roads continue to report a gain in earn
ings. The report for July now includes
two important Pacific roads. Northern
Pacific and Great Northern, and the in
crease in earnings is very large and
traffic very heavy. Earnings of United
States roads reporting for the month are
s52, ,s19. .0S6. a gain of &c per cent over
last year and 24.2 per cent over 1900.
All classes OF roads report an increase
in earnings over both years. In the
South and West traffic has been heavy
and earnings show considerable gain,
especially on granger roads. Trunk
lines. now including New York Central.
report a small increase but In the
Southwest the gain in small owing chief
ly to heavy losses on one or two i'm
portant systems. Earnings Of roads re-
porting for the month are compared be-
low with last year:

PIG IRON OUTPUT.
The Weeks Figures Satisfactory De-
spite Fuel Difficulties.

Statistics of pig iron production on
August l are entirely satisfactory. Some
experts feared that in view OF the great
scarcity of fuel there might be a bad
falling off. but this has not proven to
be the case. A weekly capacity of 1885,
465 tons is 1888 tons less than the high
record of May /. but compares favorably
with all earlier dates and shows an in :
crease of 32,6lS tons over the output a
year ago.
These figures by no means suggest a
serious setback in the industry. but
rather emphasize the abnormal condi-
tion of demand which finds such a heavy
yield entirely inadequate. Southern fur
naces have contracted so far in advance
that they have practically withdrawn
from the market. and all dates for de-
liverles are remote except where for
eign arrivals are offered.
Pressure for steel is undiminished.
and the urgency of domestic consumers
is shown by additional imports OF large
size. Structural material is sought by
car shops and bridge builders, while
many office buildings and other steel
structures are planned
Coke production In the Connellsville
region exceeds 250.0O0 tons weekly. and
outside ovens are also surprising all
records of activity. Yet shipments are
unsatisfactory, causing frequent delays.

High Rates Beneficial.

High rates for money would prove a
wholesome restraint upon many of the
questionable schemes which are now be-
ing foated. and which bankers owe it
to their trust TO seriously discourage by
every legitimate means at their COM
mand.
The actual results OF a good harvest
are difficult TO accurately measure Just
now. Our crops will not be entirely
free from danger by frost for another
three or four weeks; and this being an
exceptionally cool season such coz
tingency is the more imminent. Son.e

of the last Government crop report.
however need cause no surprise should
il come. According to the August Gov
ernment report, the outlook is for the
largest crop OF corn on record, the sec
ond largest crop of wheat, big oats
crop. and large cotton crop. the yield
of many other crops also being above
the average.
IF we have crops OF $50 ,000, 900 bushels
of wheat and 1850, 100000 bushels OF
corn, there will be enormous traffic in
store for the railroads; the corn crop
in the form OF live stock, etc, alone
being big item in the freight bills. But
the farmers are likely to benefit even
more than the railroads; and, allowing
for declines in prices or injury by frost,
the growers OF wheat. corn, and cotton
are almost sure to receive between $780,
0GO. 900 and $500 ,O00, 900 more this year
than last for their crops.

Does Not Augur Favorably.

Obviously the exhibit does not augur
favorably for the borrower on the
stock exchange securities. In the finan
cial circles the immediate topic of
paramount interest is the probable ex
tent to which recourse TO foreign bank
ers may be necessary or available to
exc out our domestic crop-moving
money requirements. which. in the ordi-
nary course. should begin to be felt
within the next two weeks.
The larger banking houses assert that
continued heavy offerings of commercial
bills are assured for some time 10
come. The demand for money would be
considerably increased in the event OF
general resumption of activity in the an
thracite coal regions. How long this
last devoutly desired consummation may
be delayed is purely matter of con-

MIR. CLEWS' VIEWS ON
FINANCING The CROP
Further Strains on the Credit
System Impossible.
TWO SOURCES OF RELIEF
Gold Imports or Liquidation by Some
of the Specializing Syndicates the
Only Promising Factors-Benefts to
Accrue From Higher Money Rates.

Henry Clews says in his weekly let
outlook:
While unusual crop and business de-
mand for money are close in sight. the
bank reserves. not only at the East but
throughout the country. are at very
low ebb. owing to the tremendous ex-
pansion in credit during the last few
years. Loans in American banks have
increased s265. .00O,00 in a year. while
the increase in reserve items was less
than $50, ,OO0.000. 1t is certain. therefore
that no additional strain can be imposed
upon our credit system. until the
crop and business requirements have
been safely financed. without grave
risks. which are not likely to be invited
by those who really control market
movements.
Sources of Relief.
Two possible sources of temporary
relief may be cited: gold imports. or
liquidation by some of the syndicates
which have been chiefly responsible for
present conditions. Little or no help
can be expected from the Treasury. as
in former years. when the Government
was Withdrawing unnecessary sums from
the market. Gold imports are not at
all improbable in case of severe strin-
gency; for the three great banks OF
England. Germany and France are all
well supplied with gold, especially the
Bank of France. which is carrying the
largest amount In its history, and II the
precious metal is needed here 1t will
quickly come in spite of our present in
creasing Indebtedness to Europe The
latter. there is excellent reason for be-
lieving. we shall soon be reducing by
payments in grain and cotton.
las for liquidation by any of the
great syndicates now in operation. that
is a puzzle beyond solution. Some OF
the securities so held may be gradually
thus releasing important,
sums; but II must be remembered that
there are some tremendous railroad
deals in progress which tie up enor-
nous sums OF money. TO say nothing or
the Northern Securities case, which is
an important, thcSyh silent, factor in
the market. How far the stock market
ma gnates may be able to increase the
supply of loanable funds when they de.
sire. it is impossible to estimate, but
it is not believed that they will choose
a time when crop and business demands
are at their highest.
The Washington times., 1902-08-17
Trade Conditions Bright.

With hardly an exception the general
trade conditions and prospects are ex-
ceptionally bright. Southern Pacific
was again the leader in activitI, al
though the transactions in 1t were only
about one-third as large as yesterday.
The stock was not affected by the an
nouncement of the impending new is
sue of bonds. and il scored a trifiing net
decline. In only one other of the usu-
ally prominent railway shares-Louis-
vile and Nashvilie-did the dealings
approximate 10000 shares.
Rumors OF probable competitive buy
ing of Toledo, 81. Louis. and Western
stocks were attended by exceptional .,c-
tivity in the stocks. The preferred
recorded an extreme advance of per
cent, about half of which was retained.
The common rose 2A per cent, but
closed unchanged.
In the carly dealings fractional ad-
vanccs occurred in Baltimore and Ohio.
Missouri Pacific. Louisville and Nash
vile, Wabash preferred, Southwestern
preferred. Rock Island. Illinois Central,
NJ X. and T. preferred. 800" common.
and few OF the specialties.
The Industrial Features.
In the industrial shares American
Locomotive preferred gained IA per
cent net. American Smelling and Re-
fnins declined an extreme IL per cent,
but recovered about half OF the loss.
Western Union scored fractional i'm
provement. The railway bond market
was dull without special feature.
Following the publication of the bank
statement, the stock market developed
a reactionary tendency, within mar
row range. but the closing was fairly
steady
