The above will allow 10 per cent dividends TO
be paid and 10 per cent set aside for surplus.
IL should also be borne in mind that with
the toll lines from Monroe through Adrian and
the southern part ofrhe State. and through
out Monroe county, and which are now in
course OF construction. and the line TO Toledo
which understand will be built at a very early
day all completed, our toll service will be
greatly increased, and will become proper
tionately more profitable.
The present situation in Monroe now is as
follows: We have OF The New State Tele-
phone company's telephones. ITO in actual
operation ana nine new contracts for instru-
ments TO be placed at once. Our competitor
the Michigan BELL, Telephone Co. now has
but six bona tde subscribers in our city.
w. Z STERLING, JR Manager
1t should be borne in mind that
in addition TO he exchange OF Detroit
Telephone company in the city OF Detroit
ana those of the New State Teleph, n :
company, independent local exchanges
have been established and are success
fully operating in almost every import
ant city and town in southern Michigan,
including Graod Rapids, MuskegoD, Kali
amazoo. Adrian, Dowagiac, Niles, South
Haven, etc. 10 addition to these, franchis-
es have already been granted by the cities,
lists OF subscribers secured and opera
tions commenced so as to have exchanges
in operation in the early spring at the
following additional points: Jackson,
Battle Creek, Saginaw, Bay City, Flint,
etc., etc. 1t is our purpose to connect
with all OF these and connect them with
each other and with the exchange OF the
Detroit company. When this is accom-
plished, and large part OF the work has
already been done, our lines will connect
with and reach not less than 10000 sub
scribers in the southern part of the State
alone, and the earnings will undoubtedly
as shown by present experience make the
stock OF the company one OF the most
valuable in the State.
The Adrian Telephone company, is one
Of the Michigan independent companys.
organized and owned by ocalcapitalists,
with which the New State Telephone
company has contract for furnishing
toll or long distance service to connect
II With the city OF Detroit and other
cities and towns Of Michigan.
Under their contract for the constru.
ton of.their plant. their exchange, CON-
plete up TO 200 phones, cost them 49,
900, or at the rate Of $50 per phone.
Their irst quarter closed July 1, 1897,
when they declared and paid from earn
inRs dividend Of * per cent, and set !
per cent aside for surplus.
A show by published statement,
they paid at the termination OF their
second On after. October /, 1897. a divi-
dend OF per cent, an increase OF Y OF 1
per cent over the fret quarter.
Compare this with the fact that not a
single exchange OF the New State Tele-
phone company has cost the company
$50 per phone "a against $50, and that IL
receives as rental $24 and $1s Der an. |
nnm for business places and residences
respectively az against the s24 and Sl2 |
pen. annum received by the Adrain com.

cost of maintenance and conducting

WALL STREET SPECULATION
American Tobacco Company Stock Takes
q Sudden Jump
The Market Otherwise Is Marked by Intense
Dizziness, Though Prices Generally
Are Very Firmly Held

NEW YORK, March S.-The most no
table features of today's market were the
sudden activity In the shares of the To-
bacco company in the last hour. The
stock had been Influenced by thedepression
In other shares after the opening, and had
fallen a point. But about delivery hour a
strong buying movement developed, and 1t
quickly regained it's losses. rising 2% points
to TIN. The fraction was lost in reac-
tion. There was a report that the New
Jersey suit to annul the charter of the
company had been decided in the COM
pany's favor. rumor originated at AL
bany was also in circulation that the forth
coming report of the legislative trust In
vestigation committee did not contain
anything that would threaten harm to the
company. 1t was believed by some that
inside interests were giving the shorts
squeeze in return for some successful ef-
fcrts recently to depreciate the value of
the stock. There were $1,000 shares dealt
in, which was almost twice the number I,s,cf OF
of all seemed favorable for a bouyant mar
ket throughout. The tone impaired to the
opening. by the London market was dis-
tinctly favorable, Americans being higher
there, and there was buying for London
account here during the day. Sugar man
ifested signs of depression, due to DOUBTS
as to the amount of protection which
would be accorded to refined sugar under
the new tariff. There was also fall In
the price of sugar itself. The general list
responded to the influence Of these STOCKS
though not in any marked degree. The
proceedings during a part of the day were
intensely dull the fluctuations In values
being extremely narrow. The buying oil
Tobacco shares impaired strength to the
whole market. so that the close was
strong and sharp gains were shown in the
railway shares. Dullness was the chief
characteristic of the bond market. but
flrmness was within narrow fluctuations.
Governments were firm. Silver certifi-
Gates were dealt In at slight concessions
after long neglect.
