Received With satIsfactIon.

New York, Jan, 2-The announce ment of the reduction of the Bank of England's minimum discount rate from seven to six per cent was received with general satisfaction in this city, although the American demand for gold has been satisfied for some time past.
 The placing of the rate at seven per cent during the severe period of New York's monetary stress caused a sensa- tion. as it was taken to indicate that the Bank of England intended to re- sist the outflow of gold to this coun- try. However, it developed that the action was simply precautionary, and New York continued to receive gold as long as 1t was required.

 In reply to inquiries by a represent ative of the Associated Press. John Skelton Williams and Sons, one of the partners of which firm. R. L. Williams was made one of the receivers. ex- pressed themselves as very well satis- fled with the present situation, which they believe will quickly lead to . complete reorganization of the man> agement and readjustment of the fi- nances of the road and so enable the property to resume its position in up- present arrangements as a union of all the interests in the system, in which heretofore there have been strong antagonisms, and as the pre- liminary step toward harmonious act ion for development and the earning of profits.

 It thus appears that while the in- crease in gross earnings from opera tion for the year ending June go, l906' over the preceding year was $1,b9s,070. the increase for the same period in operating expenses and taxes was $1.- 505,s3s.S5, and while the increase in gross earnings from operating for the year ending June 30. 1907. over the preceding year was $l,404,162.SS, the increase in the operating expenses ana taxes was S2514,55993, or more than s1,100. 900 in excess of the increase in earnings.
