GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY FlNANCE.—Between
midsummer and Christmas List, notwithstanding the
cattle plague, the cholera, and the financial panic, the
Great Eastern actually earned all but a million of money.
The gross sum taken for businessdone duriug these six
months was not less than 996,213/. 19s. 6d., and as only
512,61 W. 4s. 2d. was spent in earning it, it follows that
a net profit of 483,1,77/. 15s. 4d. was realised upon the
work of the half-year. If the property of the company
were unencumbered, this would afford a dividend of
lu per cent. to the shareholders; but, unfortunately,
the state of affairs is very different. The company
upon coming into possession of this handsome surplus has
first to provide a sum of no less than 273.146/. 15s. 11. L for
rents to other companies,interest on mortgages and deben-
tures, and charges for temporary loans. liven this tre-
mendous sweep, however, would still leave 214,249/.
1 Is. Rl. available for payment of dividends ; but, unfor-
tunately. again. this item most be widely expanded, for
there are numerous preferential shareholders who are en-
titled to satisfaction before the ordinary proprietary.
These claimants intercept a further sum of 214,2467.41.9 th,
so that after the final substraction a net balance of just
M. 7s. 2d. is all that can be " brought down" out of the
half million of surplus with which the account began.
