In the flurry that followed the annoumcemenit of the ttnusuail provdasions of the sale of $83, 000,000 flveryear 6 per cent, notes of the f Chesapeake & Ohfow there were some important ' side lights on the transaction that escaped general no tice. : The indenture eecuiing the notes,' covering the provisions that require- the total 'payment of 117,000,000 for capital expenditures dTiring the life of the notes before dividends may be paid, states, quoting the letter from the company to the bankers!'-"No div idends are to be paid or, declared on the KStook' of ' the company unless its net income after jVptiI 1, 1914, shall be in excess of all mattired installments of said fundi and Of the dividends paid for the ' nscal year , or years subse querat to 3aid, date.". In effect . tliis means that the 'company will measure dividend surpluses by itlhe nscal year and not (by each quarter, although the company win pay the yearly stums for capital expenditures in quarterly in- staililmerata. It also means, for exam ple, that , to the- fiscal year June 30, 1915, when $2,000,000. must be spent for capdtsai purposes that- the company could, if it wished, pay tihe present 4 per cent, dividend rate, even If St were not earned.

'V'1' Generally speaking, tihe business sit uation Is eouziid, and the outlook is for Improvement .when spring approaches. The declining tendency of money has been checked, and . there is the possi bility ; of temporarily firmer rates as the- first of April approaches. Bank reserves have fallen, from $40,000,000 in theflnst' week, of February to below $27,000,000 a week ago, loans mean while having steadily increased' from $1,849,000,000 December 13 (to $2,059,754,- 000 a week ago. The reserves, however, will soon be aided by the return of Oanfaddiain funds to this market, which will serve to compensate for the fur ther-outflow off gold to Paris. The western credit situation still attracts some attention in view of the real tate situation out there, eumdi the fact that the farmers are In debt more heavily ' than usual, although not to any embarrassing extent The crop situation is now a matter of inoreased interest, and the heavy precipitation of enow amd rain during the -winter months should leave the soil in gener ally good condiltiiioTL.
