CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

NEW YORK, May 16.-Conclusive evil
dence seems TO be furnished by the lat
est report of quarterly earnings of the
Manhattan that the stockholders are as
sured of a full I per cent dividend Tor
the year. This was indicated, of course,
ID the last dividend declaration, but the
actual earnings are even more satisfy
ing. During the period from April l.,
1903, 10 January /, 1906. Manhattan stock
is only guaranteed per cent, but 1 per
cent extra Will be paid, if earned. That
l per cent is contingent on the earn
ings, so the specific reason for salts
faction over the showing for the first
three months is apparent The in
crease in the number of passengers car
ried is particularly interesting, being t.
1861 in a total of 65, 193,975 This is
at the rate of 260 000, 900 passengers a
year. There has been some talk in the
street that the rate Of IL per cent
would not be maiptained for the year.
but there is absolutely no basis for it.
This report covers the last three montha
of the old Manhattan regime. The prop
erty passed under the control of the
interborough on April !, and it is be-
lieved that the quarter ending June 30
Will show even better results. 1t may
be said that some interesting develop
ments affecting Manhattan will be made
public about the time of the opening OF
the underground road. The plans OF the
interborough company have not been
fully ventilated yet, but they are on q
greater scale than has been indicated
The acquisition of the Putnam seems to
be regarded as certainty, If it is no.
already an accomplished fact. The rela-
lions of the company to the New York
Central still remain to be defined. Then
there IS the tunnel to Brooklyn, and
the possibility of a deal with the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company. In fact,
there are lots of developments to come
IN Interborough and Manhattan, and not
all of them are year away.
Apropos of Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
1t Is evident that there is already an un-

the Interborough relative to the tunnel

RAILWAY EARNINGS.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Gross earnings
for the month of April on practically
half of the railroad mileage of the
country increased IS, 1876 $780, compared
with the corresponding period of 1902.
according TO the compilation of the
Chronicle" This increase amounts to
a gain of 1857 per cent.
The favorable showing is attributed
largely TO the increased movement of
grain. live stock, and cotton The pros
porous condition of the various sections
OF the country offering such freight
makes it possible for the railroads to
secure an equally large tonnage of gen
eral freight and merchandise In the
East 10 complete the round trip long
haul.
The same prosperous condition OF both
farmers and merchants results in travel
for business and pleasure, and the effect
is again seen in the increased passenger
earnings.
Large Individual gains are to be seen
in the monthly report OF New York
Central, Baltimore and Ohio. Missouri
Pacific, and Canadian Pacific. However.
interesting increases were made through
out the entire list.

FZNANCLAL IND CONNER CIAL
JOE LETTER OFFERS
TWENTY CENTS ON DOLLAR

NEW YORK, May 16.-SOme further
interesting facts relative TO the pro-
posed settlement of Joseph Letters in
debtedness were obtained today. and il
appears that Levi z. Letter, the father
of the young man, has bound himself in
writing to guarantee the payment OF 20
cents on the dollar. This guarantee
has been executed, and is now deposited
with one of the creditors, who is seek
ing to expedite such a settlement. The
proposition, as stated yesterday, was
made to the creditors by an attorney.
and accompanying his formal PROPOSE
ton is a letter from a well-known
Western fnancier who indorses the
proposition. The following extract from
his letter states the situation very
clearly:
For some time past. with my knowl-
edge and approval, an endeayor has
been made to bring about a settlement
OF Joseph Letters Indebtedness. Toward
this end, after much negotiation and
trouble, a written undertaking from l..
L. Letter has been obtained and de-
posted, binding the latter to pay for
assignments OF various claims a sum
which Will permit of an equal division
of 20 per cent among the creditors and
payment of all expenses.
The alternative to this settlement is
bankruptcy on Joseph Letters part. He
has declared his intention to seek a
discharge from his debts through bank
ruptcy If the settlement now proposed

MONEY AND EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK. May 16.-Money on call
nominalIy "a @21a per cent.
Time money this week has been mark
ed by no special changes. except a slight
lowering Of rates for the shorter pc
RODS. The tone has been liberal, brol,
ers having offered il quite freely. The
present quiet condition OF stock com
mission business, and the continued ease
in -'calP' rates, were hardly an incentive
to borrowers to take much short-time
money. On the contrary, eight months
money was desirable. but the per cent
ate asked for that period acted as de
terrent to borrowers IN taking much
money for that time Rates go "a per
cent for sixty and ninety days; 4 per
cent for four months; AZ per cent for
five and six months: 8 per cent for eight
months.
Mercantile paper this week was sold
in moderate volume out of town, but the
local demand was light. Merchants did
not issue paper freely. A moderate
amount of choice paper, however, was
offered during the week. Rates. 4354
per cent for sixty TO ninety days In
dorsed bills receivable, 4AG5A per
cent for choice four TO six months sin

points reported by telegraph were as fol-
lows:

start, and at one time showed loss
