A large number OF some of the mos
prominent business men of Providence
presented to the common council las.
evening a petition asking for tha'
time in which the rails of the Consoii-
dated road on India street shall b..
taken up be extended.
1t is not the intention OF the News
to enter into any controversy over the
question of the litigation between the
city and the railroad corporation at
this time, but the fact remains that
petition representing such vast busi-
ness interests should certainly receive
some respectful consideration.
No harm can accrue 10 any OF the
parties concerned IL action is delayed
until the supreme court has rendered
its decision, and the whole matter real
Iy seems to be brought about by the
bitter opposition OF the Providence
Journal to the Consolidated railroad.

AMERICAN CAR AND FOUNDRY.

Earnings of the American Car and Foundry Com
pany continue to make heavy gains, owing TO the
demand for cars from railroads In all parts of
the country. In increasing its working capital to
$0OO0OOO the company has increased its earning
power to a material extent and, according TO
the officers OF the concern, the current year will
show remarkable results in the way of surplus
earnings. The placing of the common stock upon
a 2 per cent basis has been in line with conserv-
alive management, and 1t reflects the intention of
the directors TO encourage confidence in securities
Of undoubted merit. In view of the fact that the
companys surplus earnings last year. after the
payment of four dividends of Ia per cent each

company capitalized at S60OOOOOO with net earnings
of $5,73494S in the first year of its organization
and with the source of earnings based upon a per-
