These figures show that the Directors have gone
outside of earnings TO meet the demands of the six
months Prior to the dividend the following state
ent was made by one of our neighbors to whom the
above figures are commended.

n 70 per cent-and will divide in April half yearly from
10 per cent, and pay OIL trhom reneicdt OUT Oh tne

have been s3IOSSO 49, leaving net earnings 500

Profit and Loss. at the beginning of the year. makes

and Loss make in all S96 4O1 ST. leaving $9694 30 at
the credit of that account at the close of the fiscal
wear It will be seen that while the gross earnings
are more than in any former year the difference is
much less than the difference in tunnage this arises
from reduction in the rates of toll made necessary
by reductions in the rates of competing coal carrying
companies.
