The August earnings statement of the
Southern Pacific is certainly good one,
but it is not up to the predictions made
by some too confident friends. The gross
earnings for the month increased 1894, 900
and the net increased $423. .450. The in
crease in the net earnings from July, was
$670.000. Southern Pacific is undoubtedly
one of the cheapest stocks on the list at
it's present price.

The evening times., 1899-10-05

Despite more acute Transvaal situation
this morning and continuance OF tight
money both on this side and abroad the
market was fairly strong witn symptoms
OF being well supported in nearly all parts
of the list. Prices opened al about yestar-
days close, with gains in some quarters
and during the first hour or more there
were fractional advances. The first news
of the day was OF an advance OF the dis
count rate by the Bank of England to )
per cent and OF weakness in the American
shares in the London market. Monsy on
this side was quoted at 8 per cent for cali
loans during the nrst hour. This was not
situation that wouia have inspired the
ordinary trader with desire TO buy stock;
and many looked Tor low open ng and
declines.

The Use of the Bible.

Another vital subject arose in resolu-

and used in all Christian institutions of
learning. in the debate it was charged
that even in some Presbyterian institu-
tions orthodox Bible had been discontin-
ued This question was also referred to
the business commission.

tianity'' was postponed until the afternoon

The truth of tha matter seems to be that
the market has been oversold, by the bears,
discounting the Transvaal war and max
ing more than was justifiable of the tight
money scare. 1t would be foolish 10 say
that there will be mo- further declines, but
it is very certain that many careful OBJ
servers of the market are buying stocks
and have been for several days, in the con-
fident belief that prices are near the bot
tom if not actually at their lowest level.
However, it is not expected that anything
more than a professional market will de-
velop this week. 80 vt,5tr.t

During the year all expenses for improve

construction accounts as heretofore A fun
restoration Of salaries On the system was
made on January 1. Despite these addi-
tional expenses to be charged off before the
net earnings were computed there was a
gain of nearly a million in the net This
fine showing when taken into considerations
with the large increases already made this
year and with the great prosperity of the
South and the high price the farmers are
obtaining for their cotton makes the pros
pect of the Louisville this year exceedingly
attractive.

One of the items of news this morning
was the Brooklyn Rapid Transit report for
the month of September and for the three
first months of the fiscal year from July
l. The gross earnings for September were
$685. an increase of about $50,0G0 and
the gross for the three months was ST.
S60, III, a gain of about $3.50 This show
ing cannot be said to be a very encourag
ing one, if compared with the promises
made by the Flower party a few months
ago 1t is said that the small increase
is due to the strike and the cool weather
in August, which hurt business on the sub
urban lines badly. The report for the year
from January is somewhat better, the
gross being $T,S47, 40, an increase of $780,
