WALL STREET REVIEW.

NEW YORK, March 30.-There was
an active demand for stocks of all
classes at the opening, gains reaching
a point on one or two cases. A few
of the speeialties showed fractional
declines. Very heavy blocks changed
hands of Burlington and the United
States Steel stocks, the first quotations
being at. fractional advances, but
prices running off slightly on secon-
dairy quotations. Northern Pacifics
also was lifted slight fraction.
High grade railroad and miscellan-
eous stocks were bought at materially
higher prices. General Electric, Pull
man, st. Paul and Omaha Northwest,
Morris and Essex and Lackawanna ris-
ing los with the last mentioned lead
ing. An advance Of TX in Texas Pa
cific was without effect on the other
southwesterns. American car pfd.,
Smelling, North American, Tennessee
Coal and Sloss Steel rose 1@2. The
generally active list was reactionary

lington declining III, Delaware and
Hudson IN, Tobacco rs, Mexican

gains in Northern Pacific and United
States Steel were cancelled, but when
these stocks hardened again toward

The Loan Account,

NEW YORK, March 30.-The Mail
and Express says:
The usual uncertainty surrounds the
loan account, which for months has
been an important factor in shaping
bank statements. 1t is known that a
number of maturing loans were paid
off during the week. The payment of
these loans in degree represented the
marketing of securities by syndicateS,
although general liquidation on the
stock exchange Monday and Tuesday
figured to some extent in the premises.
Still this liquidation was subsequently
succeeded by decided increase in
speculative activity which turned the
scale in favor of borrowing again.

does not sppear to have been any short

from sources that might be termed
good. There were number Of rumors
OF closer relations with the Atchison
system. The formal announcement by
the miners union Of the abandonment
of a strike idea had no effect upon the
Anthracite coal issues as the advance
in the past days among the coalers
had fully discounted the news. Texas

LIKE HIS LOST MARIAN.

The street car was comfortably full
when the fat woman with the market
| basket got on, and as no one offered
| her a seat she stood hanging to strap
until a jolt of the car slowed her
around and sat her down on an old
| mans knees. She was up in a minute
and begged his pardon, but he looked
at her in a strange way and made no
reply.
Il am sure l beg your pardon, sir"
she protested in much confusion.
The tears came to his eyes, and he
wiped them away.
1T wasn't exactly my fault, you
know
Other tears and wipes followed.
"And again l ask you to excuse
me-"
Didn't you do it on purpose?" the
old man finally queried through his
tears.
'TNo, of course mott" replied the wo-
man, with flash of her eyes.
You just fell?"
Il just fell, sir"
"And you never meant to sit down on
my knee of your own free will and ac-
cord?"
"Sir! How dare you ask me such a
question:"
'iOh, there's nothin to git mad about,
and I'm peaceful old man and want
no rows. My wife Marian was taken
away two years ago, leavin me all
alone She was short and fat and al
ways carried a basket She was also
about your heft. Jest for a minute
when you set down on my knees /
imagined it was Marian, and. though
you hoped up as quick as you could.
my memory went back TO other days
and the tears
Come, now, you'd better keep quiet,
cautioned the conductor as he came in.
Il was tellin this woman that the
way she set down on my lap reminded
me Of Marian" explained the old
man.
Eyes, I know, but let Mariar go"
'fBut this woman is about her heft
and build, and she came down with
flop, same as Mariar used TO, and
-"
The conductor led him out and rang
the bell and pointed TO the sidewalk.
Eyes, see" unused the reminded as
he slowly descended. You want me
TO git of because I've been reminded
OF one who is now an angel in heay-
en-
And there's no fare comm back to
me?"
No.
Very we'll, very well, but II John
Quincy Jones was to be bounced of a
dozen street cars it wouldn't make no
difference in his feelins about what
has happened. He has been set down
on by fat woman and reminded OF
his lost Marian. and he's goin 70 keep

Net outstanding. .$16S, 10000 Sc, 353 ,675
This funded debt covers in one way
or another about 5000 miles of road in
round figures ON which earnings are
now being reported. Consequently
the debt and interest charges are:
Net bonds per mile. ...................s3 1913 ,6a
Net interest per mile. 1,27O
Rentals and taxes we may take at a
round $1,025,00O additional or, say
$205 per mile. making the interest,
taxes and rentals $1,476 per mile. The
company, however, has other income"
of about $675,000, or, say $3.50 per mile,
which is an offset to charges as above.
The net fixed charges are, therefore,
approximately $1,340 per mile of road
against operations.
Preferred stock outstanding Is $75,
100000 and common stock $80,000,0 900
being:
Preferred stock per mile. SIS, 900
Common stock per mile. ..............1 5000
Total S31, 600
The preferred stock calls for $1,000
900 per annum in dividends or $500 per
mile, and the common calls for $3,200,-
900 (on a per cent basisl or $640 per
mile, making dividend requirements
$1,240 per mile.
thus the capitalization and charges
for interest and dividends per mile is
as follows:
Amount Charge.
Bonds per mile. $33, 6N 1,N0
Preferred stock per mile... 1900 40 600
Total MISUNDERSTANDING .621 $3.50
Consequently net earnings of $3.50
per mile would pay all charges and
present dividends on Northern Pacific
capital.
Reckoning maintenance of way at
$500 per mile, maintenance of equip
ment on the usual basis, and general
expenses at 100000, or $3.50 per mills,
we get total of approximately $500
per mile. Conducting transportation
took last year % per cent. of gross
earnings. On this basis there would
be required gross earnings of say S.
IL. per mile of road to pay all ex
penses, charges and dividends on the
companys stocks.
Gross earnings per mile of road have
been as follows since reorganization:
1883 ................. .................. 1858
1899 1900 (abouO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. {, 400
1901 (estimated) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $500
Therefore 'on our estimate of actual
requirements for dividends, ETC., the
companys real earning capacity this
year is not less than to per cent,
on both classes of stock, less whatever
amount may be appropriated for bet
terments.
The preferred stock can, as is well
known, be retired at par up to 1917.
Supposing that this could be done with
a per cent security, the earning ca
pacity for the common would be on
this years basis of gross earnings
something like 10 per cent

attempting TO cross Third-ave. at Twentieth-st.
last evening was run into by southbound
Thrd-ave. electric McElvane was thrown
from his seat TO the pavement and sustained a
fracture OF the skull.
AS a Bellevue ambulance starting from
the scene OF the accident with McElvane. a
westcott Express wagon came along. The ambu-
lance gong changing constantly. but the
driver Of the express wagon kept on. Surgeon

of the latter was damaged. and the patient was
thrown against the side. The surgeon had no
time TO stop and complain against the driver.
Though McEvane hurried To the hospital
and all that could be done for him done. he
died soon afterward. Dr. Clark would not say
whether he thought the collision from the
press wagon had anything TO do with the mans
death
