NEW YoRx, June 2s.-Conoerning the
report In Bradstreet's for today Co the
effect that the 81, $50, 900 earned by the
Northern Pacific Company for the year
ending June 80, 1884. was not sufficient
TO pny working expenses t66A per cent?
and fixed charges, ETC.. President Har-
ria, of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
sa!d to reporter Of the Erening Post
" But Bradstreet's might just as well
have assumed that the working ex-
penses were So instead of sc per cent.
As n matter of fact" he said, "the
working expenses were not nearly 80
large NJ 66 per cent, and unless s,me-
thing very unfortunate occurred, the
company would have u handsome sur
plus after paying rental and fixed
charges. The road has been 50 thor
5ughly built aud the equipment is SO
excellent that expenses have proved IN
expectedly light. The earning capacity
of the road had exceeded all expecta-
tions, and its earnings for the year
ending Monday we're between twelve and
q half and thirteen millions, ~ IL now
almost certain. Our road never looked
brighter for stockholders, judging from
reports already received. Operating
expenses for the first year are always
trying for n new railroad. The running
expenss~- for the Northern Pacific would
not much exceed 30 per cent, and there
had only been nine months of through
business. In regard - the sale or
Thursday at the Stock Exchange of
Northern Pacific and Oregon Transoon-
tinental shares deposited with the bank
ing house OF John Loeb ~ security for
loans, the counsel OF the company hold
that John Loeb d Co. had no right to
close out the loan under the circutn-
stances, and that the frm's action was
the cause of the serious decline 10
Northern Pacific and Oregon rransoon-
tinental stocks on Thursday. The whole
affair will be laid before the arbitration
committee of the Stock Exchange, To
which the banking firm is amsnable.
The Oregon Transcontinental Company
will demand return af the exact So
curities pledged upon payment of the
loan at maturity.
