eiaI Report Showing Its Actual Con-
dftion and the Chances FOR
The Payment of Interest on the Stock and
Meeting Its Rental and Other Charges
Food for Reflection.

The New York Graphic reviews the conui-
tion Of the Louisville snd Nashville rail-
road Company, which has an extenceo
Tom nj road in large part built up ID tue
lat tbr.e wears by the addition TO the orlgi-
nal system of a number OF weak or osnk-
rupt lines. The company's lines Tour YEAR ear
AGO comprised a main trunk from LoulsSlie
across Kentucky, Tennessee and iaoaInS 70
Nontoonery. with branch to Memphis, on
ibs Ni;ssissipoi. and a network OF shorter
branches covering all the more productive
mari of Kentucky. 1t was strong ana
velI-placed aystem, and necessarily confronted
a large part of the business OF the centrai
cont6 and Southwest. The company passed
through the panic of 1878 with credit, al
tboDoh il was encountered By heavy e1Pend-
itnres undertaken in the two or three preVI-
ous wears, and altogether might be consld-
cred the strongest company south oil tne
Ohio river.
AS it stands to-day, the main trunk e1,
tends from Louisville 10 New OheanH ana
a branch from St. Louis joins it at Nashville,
while the Memphis branch connects it with
the Mississippi, and another branch reaches
the gulf at PensacoIs; and it also has line
from Louisville 10 Cincinnati on the norln'
Moreover. il controls be Nashville, Chat'a a,
pooga and 81. Louis, formerly its chief rival
for the Green-Line traffic, while the Georgia
lease gives il iue from Montgomery 10 At
Ianta and Augusta and avoice in the Eastern
busipeps. The system is undoubtedly stlll a
strong one. though somewhat overgrown and
s-cumbered with useless branches.
The financial condition OF the company
however, is open TO doubt, 40 ht;le exsml-
nation will show. It's debts have grown
more rapidly than the means to meet them
and The situation may be critical, unless
Greater care is exercised.
AT the close of june, when its last fiscal
yesr end d, the company owned IN lee OF
~ ownership OF entire capital stock, l51s
les OF road; it controlled and worked Us
miles and leased 26l more, making 2O2e
miles in all, directly operated. Through

That lie, making the most liberal allowances
for increase in net earnings, there will be
only two-thirds of one per cent. for the
stock, which will then be S30,000,000, and
that derived wholly from the income on in
yestmenis This estimate ia wholly based
on the company's own figures, it must be re-
membered, and it certainly shows that he
road will be doing well if il earns it's fixed
charges this year, and probably for more
than one year to come.
1t may be remarked here, by the way,
that the compsny's financial methods have
subjected it 10 one peculiar risk. To secure
the 10,000, 900 trust bonds issued last year
il has pledged the stocks of those lines which
it holds through ownership of their stock.
default and consequent legal proceedings
might lead 10 the sale OF those securities
and the loss OF the South and North Ala
bama, the Mobile and New o. leans divis-
ions, which could then be bought up by rival
lines, who would quickly avail themselves
of the opportunity. 1t is not near danger,
but it is TO be considered.
The cause of this condition of affairs is
easily to be found. Beyond question, the
requirement of the line to New Orleans was
a wise policy, and the opportunity for doing
go might not occur again. But the policy
was carried out in a reckless fashion, and
the lines were bought at extravsgant prices.
No one believes that the SO,OOUO0O bonds
issued for the New Orleans line represent
less than twice its value, or that the St Louis
division is worth the $6,500,000 on which in
terest must be paid for it. The short line
from Louisville TO Cincinnati is represented
by the indebtedness Of 100000 which Is
far more than il has ever been able to earn
interest on, and other lines have cost in pro
portion. Besides this, there have been still
more reckless expenditures, such as the issue
OF 100000 bonds for the utterly worthless
Pensacola division, and The guarantee of
So 100000 for the almost equally worthless
Pensacola and Atlantic road.
1t is Of little use to multiply instances Of
a management the nature Of which is clear
to all observers. The fact remains that
Louisville and Nashville stock is without
hope OF any present return. For some
years, at least, it is not likely TO improve,

Common report has it that the Heating
debt is much larger than the report states.
This may or may not be the case; there is
quite enough without any additions.
The company has also S9633, 900 bonds,
which are pledged as security, but they are
represented above by the S10,000,00O trust
bonds for which they are pledged, and may
properly be disregarded.
Last year when the interest accouHt was
considerably less than it will be in the cur
rent year. the income account was as follows:
Net earnings from operating 55s S4
Interest on 80 Az
Total net S2I, SIG
Fixed charges; s4, GS5 9 9OS
Loss on Georgia line...-.....-......... 10000 90.
Surplus for .........s 67S 9oT
Tbat IL, the balance remaining was about
three and a ha'f per cent. on the stock in an
unusually favorable year and with no pro-
vision made for floating debt. Let US see
what is the prospect.
The year (the company's fiscal year ends
with June) is but little advanced as yet, but
there are many indications tina: it cannot
afford any great increase of earnings. The
traffic cannot grow very largely, and there
is a possibility of a sharper competition,
while 1t is certain that expenses cannot be
much or at all reduced; they are, indie ed,
more likely to increase. There may be
some reduction in the loss on the Georgia
lease, though it is hardly possible that that
road can earn the extravagant rental paid.
The floating debt cannot well be funded in
anything less than 100000 new six per
cent. obligations, while the new stock to be
issued will not bring more than enough TO
meet requirements for new construc. ion al
resdy undertaken and for new equipment,
while there are some 100000 maturing
bonds to be met.
Taking all these things into consideration,
liberal estimate for the year 1SS2-83 would
be az follows:
Net earnings from operating 500 600
Income from Investments ............. 800 900

Fixed charges SEQ 900
