THE INVESTOR OFFICE OF THE HERALD, Los Angeles, July 30, 1897. The bonded Indebtedness of Los Angeles City Is sufficiently large without having it overstated. The tabulated statement con tained in a morning paper today gives the total amount at $1,670,900. This, In addiilon to other errors In the list, Is incorrect to the tune of $270,000 The amount should be $1,400,900, made up as follows: Date. ISS7—Main sewer 7s $12,000 18S9— School Es, April-October 130,000 1890— Internal sewer ss, Jan.-July.. 261,800 1891— Funding ss.

The assess ment on property in the former city limits foots up $55,575,157, and this Is all the prop erty liable for contribution on account of sonded indebtedness. The annexed ter ritory Is assessed at $4,236,149, making the total assessment $60,131,336 (subject to equalization), an increase of nearly eight million dollars over last year, one-half of which Is due to the Increase caused by the annexed territory. The auditor figures that It will be neces sary to raise by direct taxation for gen eral-purposes, that is to say for running expenses, $591,929.24 for the fls'cal year. But it must not be forgotten that In ad dition to the amount thus raised the au ditor counts upon getting a city Income from licenses, lines, building permits and fees of $279,275.15, to help defray running expenses. This will make the total es timated expenditure for the city govern ment $871,204.42 for the fiscal year. Add to this the $131,344 required for interest and sinking fund and it will be seen that the municipal blessings of the taxpayers will cost $1,002,548, or, in round figures, about ten dollars per capita for every man, wo man and child residing in the city limits, -t- ♦ ♦ The owners of city property are not at the end of their rope, when they pay the above enumerated amounts, for the rea son that under the dual government of the city and county, It requires another set of assessors, tax collectors, treasurers, principals, chief deputies, deputies and assistants, who all draw salaries for doing what the city officials have already done. Therefore, another $1.20 or $1.30 per $100 will be levied to provide for these additional luxuries, an imposition that the patient taxpayer seems likely to have to bear until the end of the chapter. ♦ ♦ ♦ Local Bond Offerings: Dominguez School District, $1200, 7s.

This is the first time in the history of the banking department that deposits exceeded loans. • The chairman of the London Joint Stock Bank, at a meeting of the shareholders, re ferred to the business outlook In very hopeful terms for both sides of the water. The harvest prospects of both countries he described as very promising, while the crops nearer home were less favorable, and the gold shipments from New York were not likely to be large. The outlook of trade generally was now more promising, he continued, and there were evidences of a gradual improvement of trade in th© United States. If the currency question could be settled and the stationary en gineers' dispute • arranged, both countries —the United States and England—might speedily enjoy better times. ♦ + ♦ The Bank of Commerce and the Mer chants' National Bank of Peoria. 111., have consolidated.

J. Fount Till man, Register; D. N. Morgan, Treasurer; small carmine seal, portrait of Hendricks. This counterfeit Is apparently a wood-cut production, very poorly executed. The portrait of Hendricks is so had that an at tempt to describe It would be. futile. The seal is light pink, instead of carmine. The numbering Is Irregular, both in size and formation, nnd the same number (9550129) appears on the two specimens before me. None of the small lettering In border, face of note, can he deciphered. The parallel ruling and lathe work bear no comparison with that on the genuine, and the signa tures of the Register and Treasurer look like attempts by an unskilled penman. Tho printing of this counterfeit is as bad as the engraving. Red and blue ink lines serve as imitations of the distributed silk threads in the paper. ♦ + ♦ The June pump line runs of Pennsylvania oil were nearly 6000 barrels a rlay In excess of those of May. It was', according to the Derrick. 12,500 barrels a day ahead of con sumption, and increased the stocks over 285.000 barrels. It is calculated that the oil production of the United States for 1807 will exceed that of any previous year. ♦ ♦ ♦ The annual report of the Welshaeh Light company gives gross earnings for the fiscal year ended April 20. 18(17. at $163,077. After charging off $66,415 for depreciation of in ventories and, patent litigation and l paying $412,715 in quarterly dividends, there was a surplus of undivided profits of $36,895, which, added to undivided profits of pre vious years, makes total undivided profits of $101,592.

A special investigation by Bradstreet's this week shows that increased purchases by coun try merchants In the region specified-, based on the prospectively large wheat crop at home, In the face of short wheat crops abroad, has increased business with west ern jobbers from 10 to 25 per cent, compared with fall trade at a like periodl last year. Tlie total volume of this new business is not large, but it is unusual in this, the dull month of the year, and' is increasing. The number of western implement factories are unable to 1111 all their orders for near-by delivery, and one order for shoes alone at St. Louis calls for $35,000 worth of goods. The depression among woolen manufac turers is less pronounced, because prices of cheviots antl other woolens have begun to advance, pointing to prolits in handling high priced wool. The greatest relative improvement among the jobbers and wholesalers in various lines is at Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Paul and Minneapolis. A number of large trunk line railways report that they are carrying more merchandise than two or three years ago. Fewer manufacturing industries than expected have been compelled to close owing to lack of coal on account of the strike, the principal check being due to higher prices for fuel. Iron and steel anil the cotton goods industries are more unfavorably situated than almost any other. Bessemer pig Iron and steel billets continue at the lowest quotations known. The latter Is a shade under $14. awaiting the renewed demand which has begun to show itself In staple lines of merchandise. ! Tltt shutting down of cotton mills to force 1 a reduction of stocks on hand has already [ stiffened prices, and with existing condl- i tions in other lines of business the out- i look Is for a better request for cotton goods antl for Iron and steel In the early autumn. The most favorable feature of trade Is its slow, conservative, steady expansion, It being based on the increased wants and larger consumptive capacity of the agri cultural community, with whom the pros pect Is brighter than It has been for six years. Practically the only decreases in quotations this week are for iron and-steel. Prices of oats and print cloths are un changed. The list of advances is longer and more significant, including prices of Wheat, flour, corn, lard, sugar, live stock, cotton, woolen goods and nails. Exports of wheat (Hour included as wheat) from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week amount to 2,342,021 bushels, compared with 1,075,000 bushels last week. 1.648,000 bushels in the week a year ago, 1,460,000 bushels in the week t»,-o years ago, 2,957,000 bushels three years ago, and as compared with 5,662.000 bushels In the corresponding week of 1595. There are 259 business failures reported throughout the United States this week, rather more than the average in recent weeks. Last week there were 220 In the week, last year It was 294 and two years ago it was 221, but in the corresponding LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 3f, tW7 week of 1894 It was 220, and in the like week of 1893 it was 459. FINANCIAL REVIEW In Its review of the stock market Brad street's will say: Speculation in Wall street continues active, and. In spite of some Irregularity in price, has a pronounced bullish tone. Expectation of a reaction as soon as the passage of the tariff was ac complished rendered traders disposed to adopt the bear side at the beginning of the week. Considerable profit taking was seen In the grangers and In American Sugar on Monday and Tuesday. This selling was supplemented by offerings of short stock on the part fo the traders, who throughout the week have shown a readineFS to at tack the market. On the other hand, an outside demand for stocks asserted" Itself at concessions, while the disposition to pur chase low priced shares that have not taken part In the rise was a notable fea ture. Expectations of a revival of general business tended to create speculative con fidence, and the continuance of favorable crop reports, foreign purchases of grain and accounts of the heavy traffic appear ing on the western railroads have all in fluenced speculators and Investors. At the same time it would seem that powerful financial interests are favorable to the bull movement, if they are not actively helping it. The market was, at the close of the week, disposed to pay some attention to the unexpected strength of exchange and unexpectedly large gold shipments today. Dun & Co.'s Review NEW YORK. July 30.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Dispatches from almost every northern city of Importance report, without excep tion, improvement In business .and from Detroit to Seattle and Portland splendid crop prospects. The task of adjusting the business and industries of the country to conditions created by a new law has pro gressed with gratifying rapidity and ease. Even the increasing strength of striking coal miners probably forwards the adop tion of the uniformity plan, which prom ises to remove most of the causes of the struggles. Some confusion Is caused by the seemingly contradictory closing of large cotton mills when many other works are starting, and by decline In some prices when others are advancing, but the bal ance is unmistakably on the right side. The most important event since the pas sage of the tariff, which was generally an ticipated a week ago, has been the marked increase In foreign, demand and advance in price for wheat. The latter has risen 4% cents during the week, with western re ceipts for the first time exceeding last year's, and western railroads besieged for cars, and Atlantic exports of 1.715.71S bushels, flour Included, for the week and 6.351.187 bushels in four weeks, against 6.947.865 last year, with contracts for ship ments exceeding 1,200.000 bushels on a sin gle day. Liverpool reports of a shipment from- America to Northern Bohemia and with French markets excited, speculative sales here have little influence. The in dustrial sky Is partly overclouded by coal and iron difficulties and by the closing of some large cotton mills. Having run for months far ahead of consuming demand on cotton, bought at comparatively high prices, the mills see ahead a large crop and cheap cotton, and it is hut the rational way to halt production, clear off accumulated stocks at the season when vacations are common and begin the new year on its own basis. The woolen manufacturer answers wholesomely and moderately to new tariff conditions, antl while opening of lightweights below about $1 in cost, has made a very encouraging demand, the ad vance In prices asked is not large. With very heavy stocks of free wool on hand, affairs are able to and in the presence of large stocks of foreign goods are obliged to engage for the next season with out advancing prices in proportion to the rise in wool, and large contracts of that nature have already been made. Selling of wool at Boston, where the speculation has been most active, is suggestive, amounting to 8,805,000 pounds for the week, and ai the three chief markets to 11.554.500. Sales for four weeks have been 46.109,200 pounds, 22,538,500 being domestic, against 7,211.350 in all last year. Delay in the iron Indus try is partly because the wages have not been settled at all the works, though at many, and partly because of the steadily rising demand, does not yet raise prices. In some products prices are lower, owing to competition, between the works, but Bessemer is a shade higher. In structural work, plates, sheets and bars for the enormous operations of agricultural im plement works, the demand increases for rolling stock, owing to the abundance of crops. Failures for the week. 236 In the United States, against 281 last year, and 2S In,, Canada, against 40 last year. ON 'CHANGE What Was Bone Yesterday on Wall Street NEW YORK, July 30.—Bonds were the star performers in today's market, the volume of trading therein, being the largest in, a long time, exceeding $4,000,000 in value. Mortgage securities were generally strong, special animation being shown in those of reorganized roads and those undergoing rehabilitation. Stockers were considerably less active than usual, but bore up fairly well until the announcement of engage ment for export of some $4,000,000 gold, which was larger tlian anticipated. A sus taining feature vtes the pronounced strength in wheat and European engage ments of some SOO.OtIO bushels from our ports. The standard' securities moved very narrowly, as, in fact, did the low priced shares. Tlvp. foreign trading was consid erably mixed, it being on the eve of the holidays in London, trailing was restricted here, and such as there was came mainly from New York buyers, and the market abroad closed firm. The gold exports wife partly due to three months' bills in settle ment of April's large importations now be coming due. The bond transactions today were again of large dimensions, with the animation attended by higher prices throughout. The speculative bonds, were heavily traded in with foreign purchasers of Atchison adjustment fours on a large scale. Oregon Short Line issues gained substantially. The aggregate sales were $4,125,000. Governments were neglected, but hardened appreciably on, bad Quotations. ' Inspired by the strongest kind- of French cables antl export sales reaching all the way from 60 to 100 loads at New York and out ports, wheat bulls rushed'prices up to a point today that has not been reached before In many a long day. pSeculation. was heavy, footing up 8.000,000 bushels. I Scalpers, continental houses, the public j antl big professionals all took a hand on the bull side. The result was an advance to 81% for September, against SO%, the previous best price. In the last half hour, however, top-heavy conditions manifested themselves antl a sharp break occurred, | September closing at SO%. which was 1 cent ! above last night, hut also 1 cent under the best point of the day. A remarkably strong set of cables, par ticularly those from the French markets, set the local wheat market in an uproar again today, and elevated prices to the highest point of the bull movement. Shorts, | continental houses and bulls were all good j buyers. Bearish home news was all ne- I glected. Yesterday's big export trade of i 1.500,000 bushels established renewed con- j fldence on the long side of wheat. Local i values advanced steadily all the morning j on active speculative trading and reached 87% at 1 o'clock for September. Closing ! values were even stronger than the first ', advices.

July 30.—Wheat commenced with a great demand for September at from 74ft71%. Very little was secured at 74 at the opening. During the opening hours the price advanced to 74%. reacted Irregu larly to 71% and rose again about 11:20 o'clock to the former highest point. The trade in the pit during the time of these fluctuations was both active and heavy. Liverpool was firm and Parts strong. Cablegrams said the continent was hav ing heavy rnlns and as the wheat harvest is In progress that was construed bulllshly. The primary market receipts amounted to 732.000 bushels, against 756.000 bushels on the oorn -ponding day of the year before. Kansas City receipts today were 33,000 bushels. The clearances from the Atlantic ports were equal in wheat and Hour to 198,000 bushels. Great preparations are, however, being made for forward shipment, according to New York advices, where it is said forty steamers had been chartered yesterday having a capacity of 4,000.000 bushels, to load grain at the various At lantic shipping ports. How much of that is for wheat was not specified. The late cablegrams reported such a surprisingly strong market at Antwerp and Paris that the former good demand for September wheat was largely added to antl the price rose rapidly about noon, the time when those cablegrams were received, from around 74% to 75%075%. Antwerp showed an advance of 37% centimes for American red, which is equal to 2 cents per bushel. Paris for near delivery was higher by 2% and 4% per bushel for the November-February term. New York reported 85 boatloads sold for export and 60,000 bushels spring wheat was taken here by millers.
