THE TELEGRAPH BUSINESS. The ex.
tent OF the telegraph business in this
country, as we'll as its profits, is denoted
by tho annual exhibit of single COM
pany, the Western Union, just made at
It's meeting in New York. In the cleo
ton for it's tweDty-nine directors, the
number of votes cast was 273, 116, reprc-
senting stock amounting to $27, ,311, GOO,
Large as the list is, we do not see among
all the names any one residing South OF
New York. The list is composed mainly
OF New Workers, with few West of that
city. The policy of the company for
merly was to distribute the directors at
the principal points along the main lines.
from the report read on the occasion by
President Orton, we learn that on the
3oth OF June, 1872, tho company ope-
rated 62, O32 miles of line. with 1877, 1893
miles Of wire, through 5,237 Offices. The
increase during the year past was 5000
miles OF line, 5000 miles of wire, and
63! Offices. 10 perform tho lubor re-
qulred, the company has in its employ
o,541 operators. who last year transmit-
ted 12i444, 1876 messages, being an in
crease OF 1,788. 422 over the year pre-
ceding. The gross receipts for the year
were SS, 437 ,095. IT, the expenses SIS, $685.
863. 16. leaving o not profit of SO, 77O,-
232.61, which is an increase over the last
year OF S8l9. GAG. 90 in the gross receipts,
S562. O75. 81 in the expenses, and $751;
o7O.95 in the net profit. The present
Western Union system dates from the
consolidation OF the United States, the
South western and the American compa-
MES, in 1866, and its not profits during
the six years ending June 80, 1872,
amounted to Sl7.116, 694.23. OF this
sum, 81 856, ,879.3 81 was distributed to the
stockholders in dividends, and $685.
4Ol.9 disbursed for interest on the COM
pany's bonds. The balance-SlO,3 ,36l,-
.91-was expended in the construction
OF new lines, the erection of additional
wires, and the purchase Of telegraph
property.
