SHOWING OF THREE
NORTHWEST ROADS
ESTIMATES OF THE 500, ST.
LOUIS AND IOWA CENTRAL.
For the Year, the 500 Did Well, but
Figures Indicate Decreases in Haw-
ley Lines-Iowa Central Did Not
Earn Its Fixed Charges.
sp eoial to The Journal.

Special to Tho Journal.
ReNew York, Aug. S.-The annual re-.
ports of the 500 line, Minneapolis &
St. Louis, and Iowa Central will not
be issued in full for some months. In
fact, the Hawley lines are not likely
to issue theirs until some time in the
spring of 1905. 500 line will prob
ably put out its report in the early
autumn, as usual.
From a close study of the financing
during the year on all three INES II
is possible to estimate the income ac-
count closely. The official figures for
the surplus before charges have been
given out by the companies and In
vestors can rely upon the correctness
of the surplus to within a very small
fraction.
Minneapolis & ST. Louis earned Its
preferred dividends in 1904, but did
not earn even six-months dividend
on the common. Iowa Central did
not earn it's fixed charges by over
100000. 500 line-in bright con-
trast to the other two-earned nearly
per cent on it's common stock, and
appears to have strengthened it's po-
sition all around. The income &C
count of 500 line may be written as
follows:
Net earnings from operation. 50, 246, 71s
Other Income ...............'...... oo,ooo
=, 70. Total income s. IS, 81 81
Preferred dividend .................. 400 900
balance for common ss2s, s74
The surplus for the common amounts to SO
per cent as compared with 10 per cent In 1903
On the whole, this is an excellent
showing for a road whose entire line
lies north Of Chicago. The road suf-
fered more heavily than almost any
other in the winter Of 1903-19O4, and
the losses due to the extraordinary
winter can probably be safely put at
$500, 900. On this showing the real
earning capacity of the road In 1904,
taking into account the extra losses,
was considerably better than in 1908.
The Hawley roads of the northwest
have quite a different story to tell.
The years total net on Minneapolis &
ST. Louis shows a decrease of $221,-
300, or 1873 per cent, while on Iowa
Central it shows a decrease of $780,
40, or 26.7 per cent.
st. Louis are off over IL per cent,
while on Iowa Central they are almost
maintained.
These declines are made in COM
parison with a year which itself
showed heavy declines as compared
with 1902. The truth Of the matter
appears to be that the territory i'm
nediately south of the twin cities has
been for two years a section in which
railroad business has shown declin-
ing tendency.
The earnings of Minneapolis & ST.
Louis are an enlightening common
tary on the passing of the dividend in
July. The surplus Of 1904 shows a
very small margin over preferred divi-
dends. Taking charges at 1886 $50,
the same as last year, the income &C
count for the year of Minneapolis &
st. Louis should show

nounced as 10 he prospective candi-
dates ut that time. Conferences will be
held so that the names OF various can

of the nomination for the goyernorship
settled in conference. so that only one
name shall Doe presented TO the con-
yenti0n and the nomination bc unani-
WOuslv made on the first ballot
There is no diminution in the under
current OF feeling which has been in
evidence since the delegates began 10
gather. that unless some compromise
becomes necessary. the convention Will
result in the nomination of Edward NJ.
Shepard of Brooklyn. The belief is
prevalent that Mr. Shepard has the
support Of the national leaders, and
this belief gives strength to the
Shepard movement although no one IN
authority will admit that other than
state considerations viii influence the
action OF the convention. Those who
hold to Mr.. Shepard's nomination think
that final conferences Will eliminate all
other candidates. There is this to be
considered that an factions I'm the state
organization are i'm harmony with
Judge Parker and would follow his
wishes should he indicate them. But
there was no indication Of the receipt
of any such intimation.
II is conceded thar so far as actual
pledged delegates are concerned John

The Tammny people who are here
mention four names as those OF candi-
dates. any one OF whom would be ac-
ceptable to Tammany Hall. These
names are those Of Shepard, Palmer
