CITY WTELLMENCE.

Sixth Annual Report of the President and Direc
tors OF the Pittsburg and Connesvie Railway
Company, which has recently been published we
learn thai, of the floating debt there has been paid
off within the year, 1901 ,6745, leaving its present
amount S2ll ,72S.98.
There has been expended during the year, Sal =,
6SOl3 upon construction, equipment, surveys, right
| or way and real estate, of which $50, 1872 "a was
upon the Western, and $50 .S9 upon the Eastern
division. The whole expenditure, exclusive of in.
terest, discounts and commissions from the organi-
zatlon OF the company, in 1886 to this date, has
been 81 662 2l9.31 of which 81 Az 225 66 was upon
the WESTERN and S2l7 1893 65 upon the Eastern di-
vision.
Including interest on the floating debts upon the
million loan to the Company by the City of Balti
mOre and upon bonds and stocks the total amount
expended is S2,3S3.73s.54.
The assets still undsposed of, and rated at their
| par nominal value, are S69I, ,596. .l3
This includes the S155, ,O446 So, due by
W. Larimer, Jr., and does not in
cude the Cumberland subscription
of S200,000.
Adding the uncollected stock subscrip-
tlons, exclusive of subscription by con-
| tractors, payable in work. say 196873 10
And we have a total of $685., 1863. .25
Any estimate of the cash value of the above as
sets, the Board regard as altogether conjectural
The total revenue of the road has been, S23 800
81 from the carriage of sc, ,447 passengers; S22,-
396.Ol from the transportation of 2l,2lS tons of
freight and 81, 600 for mail services-making to-
tai of S4S ,SS6.S2.
The total revenue of the last year was 81, $50
so that the present year shows an increase of S3-
300, of which about $1,000 is due to freight and
mail service, and $500 to passengers.
The cost OF operating the road during the past
year was materially increased by the extraordinary
floods of the winter and spring.
That cost amounted to S3s, ,9l2 OS for current ex-
penses, to which, adding S9,OO2.76 for office and
aa and prntng o. and miscellaneous
expenses, not included in the Superintendent's ac-
counts, the total expenditure is seen to be SAT
81, leaving S97l.9S the net revenue for the
year.
As regards the completion of the whole line to
Cumberland the Board are conscious that they
cannot say much to encourage the hope that this
can be accomplished at any very early day although
they look upon it a result which causes of accu-
mulating power must certainly bring about before
very long.
While, however, the Board cannot hold out the
hope OF an early completion of the whole road.
they are encouraged to expect an important i'm
provement in its character a local contributor to
the trade of the City of Pittsburgh.
The Fayette County Rail Road, chartered last
winter, has already made such progress as to in
sure its completion early next summer. This will
add about thirteen miles to the length of the Pitts
burgh and Connelsville Rail Road, Zone mile of
which will be part of the main line to Cumber-
land,) and passing through rich mineral and ag-
ricutural region, to the populous and enterprsing
borough OF Uniontown, will bring a considerable
accession of trade and travel to the Connelsville
Road.
Another still more important addition to the
present extent of the Pittsburgh and Connelsville
Road, is the contemplated extension of the latter
road from Turtle Creek to Pittsburgh, upon the
line, which, lying along the margin of the Monon-
gahea river affords a route of unequaed advanta-
ges, and brings the road to terminus in this city,
which is admitted to be superior to any other posi-
ton within its limits.
With reference to the sale of that portion of the
Baltimore City stock which remained on hand at
the date OF the last Report the Directors state
that the last sales of this stock were made in April
last, and were at 944 per cent. The average price
realized upon the entire million of the Baltimore
city loan was 80 1900 per cent. This is nearly S
per cent less than the Board had hoped to have
obtained, and, consequently, their means derived
from this source have fallen short some $50 OOO-
owing to the untavorable circumstance, which be-
gan to affect the security market of the country
soon after the Baltimore loan into the hands
