Telephone Business.

According to the United States
census bureau, the telephone BUSH
ness represents a capital of just over
$4,000, 600, covering slightly over
1000 systems, with s,37I,o44 tele-
phones of all kinds, over which
were exchanged during the yeaf I9os
the extraordinary number Of more
than 5000, 600, 900 telephone con-
versations. This industry employ
ed 64,6,S wage earners, to whom
was paid ss6,569 7s5, and I4,is4
salaried Officials and clerks, who
received so.SSs $50. The revenue
derived hom the industry reached
the splendid total Of $50, Sas,536,
which is almost exactly the same as
the sum returned for electric light
ing central stations for Ioo2-cer-
taiuIy a striking coincidenee-while
it is also to be burne ia mind that
the capitalization OF the electric
lighting industry is very nearly the
same as that of ,h~etelephone, being
reported to the time mentioned as
100000, 900. The expenses for
the year were $6t,I5s,Sas. The
interest on bonds was SS.4Ir,94S,
and the dividends paid were $I4,-
9Ss,7I9. IL would appear that
exclusive Of lhr interest on bonds,
the expenses were just about 70 per
cent OF the income.
A very interesting feature OF the
report is tina, which shows up the
extent to which rural telephony has
grown and extended. The repor,
included 9o4 mutual systems. which
are all Of rural character, with 3d..
$40 instruments, and 7o,9r6 miles
OF single wire. In addition to these
the commercial companies operate
ts,S9S rural lines, with I3S,As6
miles OF single wire and fsi,9oS
telephones. MOI was this all, for
the report included in addition
4.9S5 independent farmers lines,
with 1905 miles of single wire and
S5,747 instruments. There figures
added TO the Others quoted above,
give a grand total for continental
United States of 9,I36 systems and
lines 4.9oo,4SI miles OF single
WIRE, and s,37I,o44 telephones.
