only matters of interest in the market
aside from the bank statement II may
said in brief that the annual statement OF
the traction company was about what has
been predicted recently and therefore
much better than the fake bear stories
put out few weeks ago and used to tum>
bic the price Of the stock. These alleged
figures regarding the statement are shown
to have been manufactured out OF whole
cloth despite their Eemi-ofTicial' ChaTac-
ter The gross receipts of the company
for the year were ST T68, SO. an increase
OF S452.51I and its gross expenses were

difference between receipts and expendi-
lures was S526.772 profit The company
earned about 1 SIS per cent on its capital
stock during the year. II is noted that
the operating expenses are sin very
heavy comparatively. about G. per cent OF
