years fixed charges of the s: 'em are
ofiicially estimated at 81 500 600. II is
evident that all further net earnings
in the next six months will be applica-
BILE to dividends.
What the Rock Island system earned
in the first six months OF ten calendar
year 1902 is not clear. as the properties
embraced in the system did not make
regular monthly reports. II Is estl-
mated, however. that net earnings in
theh first half year were approximately
$4,000 600. In the calendar year 1902,
therefore. total net earnings were
about SIG 100000. Earnings on the

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET

New Orleans, Jan. 14.-Spot cotton
was in active demand to-day. Buyers
were moving about among sample
rooms freely and showing a greater dis
position to trade upon the basis Of
prices ruling yesterday. Offerings are
all that could be reasonably desired.
Sales, 9,00O including 1900 to arrive
Quotations advanced, 1-16c.
A better feeling was shown to-day
in the market for contracts. Liver
pool opened at even figures for spots
and worked up 2 to points on de-
llveries, inducing the talent on this side
to stand for a higher range of values
The influence was not over weighty,
but such as it was, it told in favor of
the long element. On the first call
prices were one to points up. AZ
ter the initial call the market en-
tered on series of mild fluctuations
with slightly upward trend, the
board at the close showing net gains of
6 to points over yesterdays closing
figures.

ed with further developments in the
consolidation of the anthracite indus
try. Manhattan was strong for time,
supposedly on account Of the coming
operation of the lease to the Inter-
borough Transit Company, but the
stock reacted with some violence to a
point below last night. Western Union
was helped by the injunction against
the removal of its wires by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company.
Sugar was first strong. and then
weak, after the report of the annual
meeting of the stockholders showed
that higher dividends were not to be
expected at present. Incidents of the
day were sales Of Canada Southern
and Michigan Central, the former at a
decline of 7Ik and the latter at de-
sales, some time ago. Aside from
these special movements, the market
was dull and sluggish throughout and
offered little of interest. The fact that
realizing sales met advances in all
cases served to discourage the profess
sional element and led to the sharp
break in the afternoon, which carried
the average level Of prices well below
last night. This was particularly evi-
dent in Rock Island, and the large
part attributed to the Rock Island in
terests in the recent speculation for the
rise gave the movement In this stock

STOCKS AND BONDS.

to represent nothing more than the
efforts Of professional traders TO And
purchasers for shares. The volume Of

activity Of the present movement
reached its elimination.
OF to-day's dealings, no less than
200 900 shares were of Erie. The con-
tinued activity in that stock is the
subject of the greatest interest In Wall
