LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The plan adopted by railroad and other
companies, growing out of the condition
Of the bond market. of issuing short-time
notes bearing a high rate of interest is
being carried out by the American Teie-
phone and Telegraph Company. Its notes.
running for four years and paying per
cent interest, are placed on the market to
meet the expenses of betterments the local
companies such as the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Company are now making.
The large expenditures that are being
made in this city by the telephone company
for the improvement and extension of its
service have for the present the form OF a
floating debt due to the parent company,
1t is probable that long term, low interest
bearing bond will be issued in place of the
short term notes. as is the intention in the
case of other corporations that have resort
ed to this method of avoiding placing on
an unfavorable bond market long-term
bonds bearing a low interest rate.
The fire loss of the United States and
Canada, as compiled by the Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, shows
a total for the past month Of s23. 623, 0o0.
In the corresponding month of 1903 the
total loss was $13, 549. 600. and in 1902 it
was 1884 900. Deducting the losses at
Baltimore. Rochester and Toronto. the
losses thus far this year by the ordinary
fires would aggregate $50, 966. 600. or some
eight millions more than the sum charged
against the first four months Of 1903. The
total losses for the four months this year
period of 1903 the losses amounted to
$50. 703, Goo and for 1902 $61. 994. 900.
