Iowa Central and NJ. & st. L. Will
Have Grain to Haul-Earninas.

The Minneapolis Journal gives an out
line of the traffic prospects of the Iowa
Central and its sister road. the Mime
apolis G. st. Louis, in which the condi-
stions for fair tonnage during the fall
and winter, are shown to be gratifying,
Notwithstanding the crop shortage. The
Journal says:
minneapolis & st. Louis preferred
stock will show per cent dividend for
the past year and the common stock a
dividend of per cent. Four years ago
preferred was paying per cent with
no dividend on common. Gross earn
ings for the year ending June 80, We're
SO. .503.6s. Operating expense was ST.
S4S,6S4.64; net earnings, s1,426, S19.04.
Gross earnings of the Iowa Central
were s2,2S4 123.47: operating expense, ST.
S2o725.S3; net earnings. 1853 .39764. The
net earnings of the Iowa Central are
about enough to pay the interest In
debtedness of the road. There will be
no dividend. The Iowa Central has been
expanding large amount of money in
the imrovement of the property which
explains why no dividend will be de-
clared.
Both roads have good prospects for
y
along the Iowa Central this years corn
crop is so per cent that of last year
and oats about so per cent The coal
tonnage of the road is increasing and
the high prices on farm produce will
make its territory reasonably prosper
ous
Traffic men who have been studying
the situation say that there is very
large amount OF old grain, principally
wheat and corn, in the hands of South
ern Minnesota and Iowa farmers. This
is believed to insure better things for
Southern Minnesota and Iowa railroads
| during the coming year than would APP
pear on the surface in face of the short
| crop OF corn and wheat in those sec
itions. 1t specially interests the Mime
! apoHs & st. Louis and Iowa Central,
! which lines are almost entirely IN the
\ territory mentaloned.
1.-The fact that Southern Minnesota
4 and Iowa farmers are SO well OFF thai
they can afford to hold their gram as
,Elong as they desire makes the crop an
| unreliable indicator of the traffic to be
done by railroads in those. sections or
any following year. Last year Iowa and
| Illinois raised the largest grain crop In
