THE SOUTH BOUND EXTENSION
The Florida Central and Peninsula
Going ahead With Il.

The Florida Central and Peninsula
Going ahead With Il.
The contract for the building of the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
from Harris Road to Savannah has been let.
This means the completion OF the South
Bound into Jacksonville and a new COM
peting line between the north and south
/ part Of the contract in the lease of the
South Bound to the Florida Central and
Peninsular by the terms Of
to indorse the bonds of the
| South Bound 10 the extent Of $4,000
per mile and TO extend Its line to a connec-
ton with the South Bound at Savannah
making a continuous route from Florida
northWard.
In this connection Bay street gentleman
has been figuring on the value Of Savannah
Construction Company stock. Although
quoted at $500 per share bid, the figures, he
says, show it to be worth more than par
81, 900, with every indication of enhance
ment as soon as the conditions OF the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular lease have been
complied with.
The estimated cash value, according to
the gentleman who figured it, Of the assets
OF the Savannah Construction Company is
1927, 40, which, divided among the 74O
shares puts the actual value per share
81, liz 81, or nearly II per cent. above par.
The Florida Central and PeninsulaT is re-
ported to have placed its per cent. bonds
at above 80.
The South Bound was the first South
Carolina railroad TO show the earn
ing Of it's running expenses the first
year or Its operation. gentleman
closely connected with the company, and
large holder of its securities, Ia quoted as
saying that the year now closing has ex-
ceeded his estimate of probable earnings
over $50, 600 and that the road will net over
$4,000 per month for The winter
months and will show a
Of the year. The company will be in a
position to retire its car trust notes or take
care OF the aocruing interest on its loans and
bonds until the transfer to the lessees in
October.
Another gentleman connected with and
financially intesested In the company IS
quoted as saying that its 800 acres of land,
estimated at $4,000, will pay any pur-
chaser, IL judiciously handled, 100 per cent.
on that amount.
The lease to the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular provides that after the expenses
have been paid aud per cent. interest on
the bonds has been earned any earnings in
excess are to be divided equally between
the holders of the common stock and the
Iessees. Inc leSseeS hold an option on the
common stock at $40 per share IL would
only require the road to earn S40,66O over
its interest and expenses to make tho com-
mon stock pay 10 per cent. on this valua-
tlon. 1t would seem more to the advan-
tage of the construction company stock
holders, therefore, not to have the lessees
avail themselves of this option.
The South Bound Is a Savannah enter
prise, and the men who put their money
into it are confident OF the success of their
Investment.

FLOaIDA's DANCE CROP.
A Very Encouraging Outlook For
CTOUarG

A Very Encouraging Outlook For
Growers.
The prospects for good return to orange
growers in Florida this season are promis-
ing. A gentleman from that state who is
thoroughly familiar with the subject was in
the city yesterday and talked to MORN
ING NEWS reporter The general impress
sion In Florida, he says, is that the crop
will reach 100000 boxes. He believes it
will amount to that much and he bases his
impression on personal observation as well
as from reports from growers in q large
part of the state.
Lost year in several sections Of the state
the crop was hurt by the cold weather but
it ran up to 4.00J,0J0 boxes. The esti.
mate was that only about $500, 600 boxes
would be put on the market and there was
general surprise when it vent above that
This year the estimate is only for 5000. 600
to 3,500,0 but it would not be surprising
should il run somewhat over, for nearly
every year the estimate falls short OF the
actual crop.
Speaking in regard to the direct ship
ment OF cargo OF oranges from Fernan-
dina recently to Europe the gentlemen said
be was afraid It will have bad effect upon
the market in England and the continent
because the fruit was not 10 good condition
Direct shipments to Europe, how
ever, are steadily on the increase
by the fast New York steamers. 1t
Is probable that some arrangements will be
made this season with the Pennsylvania
railroad whereby oranges can be put down
in Liverpool from Jacksonville within
twelve days. These shipments will, Of
course, be made via the transatlantic racers.
The price for the fruit on the tree is good,
and growers have no difficulty in effecting
sales. Owing to the better prices obtained
this season the money value Of the crop win
be fully as great as last season. though the
output may be considerably smaller.
