Baltimore, August 2.-The gross earnings of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for the fiscal year ended June 30 were $27,642, 432, compared with $25,- 562,120 for the preceding fiscal year. These figures do not include income from sources other than operations, The net earnings are considerably in excess of $7,000,000, an increase of more than $1,500,000. These figures represent the biggest business in the history of the road, and are 10 to 12 per cent, less than they would have been had rates been maintained. The Baltimore and Ohio was forced to cut rates in order to meet competition.

TUESDAY. Jan. IL.
The most significant development on the
Stock Exchange to-day was In the bond market.
The dealings in bonds aggregated sc, 1926. 900
par value, and the demand was SO strong that
nearly every issue that received attention
closed higher than on the occasion of tho last
previous sale. The heaviest transactions were
In Atchison issues. Union Pacific purchase
money certificates. Union Pacific. Denver and
Gulf consol. IS, Texas Pacific Eds, Wabash eds.
Northern Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas issues. There was also unusual activity
in South Carolina and Georgia lists. Seattle.
Lake Shore and Eastern lists. Chesapeake and
Ohio 4las, and Chicago Terminal and Transfer
lists. The unusual demand for low priced and
second rate bonds would seem to indicate that
Investment funds arc beginning to seek specula-
tive risks, owing to tho scarcity OF high grade
securities except ut practically prohibitive
prices. That being The case. 1t is reasonable to
expect that the next development will be the
appearance of Investment buyers In the stock
market on II larger scale than at present.
The trading In stocks was upon n more ex-
tensive scale than yesterday. The market con-
tinues irregular, but the tendency OF prices was
In tho main the reverse of that or yesterday,
for tho pajority OF the list closed higher. The
only noteworthy exception to the almost pre-
vailing tendency was Sugar Refining. which at
tanned the distinction of being more extensively
dealt In than any other stock. 1t Is geEer-
ally understood that only routine business
will be transacted at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders Of tho .Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company tomorrow.
Tho meeting will unquestionably dispose OF ex-
pectations OF an extra dividend or OF u showing
of fabulous earnings and accumulated surplus.
AS the status of tho sugar refining industry Is
far from being stable in consequence OF tho ercc-
ton of new rchneries and the growth of the
beet sugar industry in this country. 1t is not
Illogical that tho market for Sugar Refining
stock SHOWS a good deal of irregulariiy At the
present level.
Northern Pacific preferred was second In re-
spect TO activity. was strong throughout and
closed materially higher than yesterday. Tho
common stock received unusual attention at q
net advance Of a point. Union Pacino securities

figures disiodgcd only a few tired longs, and before
the close part OF tho loss was recovered on covering
OF shorts, together with some new buying for local
account. The exports were liberal and the spot mar.

the Interstate Commission to allow the trans
continental lines 70 ignore the long and short
haul clause of tho Interstate Commerce lawt that
they may compete on even terms with tho Cana
dian Pacific for business to and from the Klon-
dixie. The prospects of an orm business to
and from the Klondiko in the spring has stimu-
lated a demand for the securities OF every COM
pany doing business In the Pacific Northwest,
which was especially reflected to-day in tho
market for Oregon Railroad and Navigation and
Oregon improvement securities. Both the stock
and consolidated bonds Of tho last named com.
pany wore unusually active and closed matcri-
ally higher. Manhattan Railway was favorably

lower. the only exception being the Susquc.

cred a little Of tho recent sharp decline.
London showed quite a little interest in tho

that English operators have changed their atti.

rates for carrying stocks through the new ac-
count are l y cont. lower than ut the last fort.

discovered that recent biased advices from
this side regarding tho probable resurrec-
ton OF the silver question are absolutely un-
Trustworthy and misleading. The virtual cleo

upon local sentiment. and his victory over the

strong hopes of securing his freedom.
AT the next session Of The supreme

this wiped away his former guilt

NEW YORK, Aug. a7.-One of the inn
portant matters which will occupy the
attention of congress at its next ses-
sion will be legislation to increase the
strength of the permanent military
establishment, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune.
Chairman Hull, of the committee on
military affairs of the house of re pre-
sentatives, who is in WASHINGTON,
where he expects to remain until early
in November, is devoting much atten-
tlon to the subject, and has already
discovered that the war has removed
some of the more formidable obstacles
which hindered and finally prevented
the enactment OF a satisfactory law for
the organization and increase of the
army at the last congress
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1898-08-28

In the coming session he will in tfo-
duce biit 20 correct the defects in the
existing law, and to increase the
strength of the army on a peace foot
ing TO 10000 enlisted men. He feels
confident that the measure will be
passed.
The strongest opposition to the re-
organization bill . last winter and
spring came from the representatives
Of the national guard organizations of
the various states. and it was effective
TO a considerable extent. The ex.
per!ence of the last four months,
there IS reason to believe, has
Convinced that element, as well as a
great many congressman n who surren-
dcred to its in fiue nee, that the oppCsi-
tion was i'll judged and unreasonable,
and that a reasonably strong regular
army; thoroughly equipped and organ
zed on modern basis, would be
benefit, rather than a drawback, to
the national guard organizations.
