nv the Westsrn Union the-rtors represents
a cost Of s64. 400 600 or $S050, 900 each. For
this expend,tu re thav hav- tour old Cables,
laid in 1869, 1873. 1873 aud 1874,
and four newer ones, laid ia 1880 and 1881
respectively. In osu.r 10 pav . per cent
on the capital invested. the Western Union
companies require S3,32O,0o0 net earnings
per annum The joint companies have TO
provide renew wal fund for very old cables,
whereas the new company will require very
little for years to come. The jpiht comps-
MES have to support four boards OF direc'

amounting to over 81 .0O0, 900 per annum.
The volnme Of cable business on tariff
