Unusual interest attaches to the annual

pany because the management had an ex-
ceptional trust to administer during the
past year. In addition to gross earnings,
amounting to s22. 4l9, the directors and
President Cassatt had at their disposal.
realized from the sale Of new stock, ST.
362,5 $50. which made the report interesting
not only to the stockholders but to the gen.
eral public The report shows that, after
payment of operating expenses, rentals and
interest on bonds there was left net in
come of s27.5Oe.5O7. To this car be added
81, S62,55o. which was realized as profit by
the sale of stock, making the real income
s44. SIS. O57. During the year there were dis
bursed in dividends $14,092, 931, a. increase
of $3.50. 440 over 1902; there were utilized
for extraordinary expenditures for improve
ments of property 81, S95, 277. an increase of
s.. 1921 over 1902. The company's line be-
tween New York and Pittsburg constitutes
the greatest artery of trade on this CONT
nent, and upon this portion of the system
there was expended last year S44OO6,2S5. On
the lines west of Pittsburg there were ex-
pended Sl6.O0O.0O0 of this sum S11, $50. $50 was
for new equipment. The cost per ton mile
age is the lowest in the experience of the
road, having been less than three and a
half miles. If the net earnings of the COM
pany during 1904 shall be as great as they
were in 1903 the surplus over dividend re-
quirements on the whole amount of stock
will be about $4,000 1t is certainly very
creditable to President Cassatt and the di-
rectors that they gave SO much informa-
ton in detail.

May Arbitrate Rate War.

In answer to the memorial sent by the
Commercial Exchange of Philadelphia, the
Maritime Exchange and the Board of Trade
and the Trades League, of that city, that
the question of the differential in favor of
Philadelphia on all shipments of grain from
the West for export be maintained, in spite
of cuts made by roads whose terminals are
in New York. the presidents of the Penn
sylvania. the Philadelphia & Reading, the
Lehigh Valley and the Baltimore & Ohio
have given assurance of a firm determine
ton to assist in the fight for the principle
involved. In a letter to these organiza-
tons they say: I'VE heartily sympathize
with you in the efforts you are making to
aid us in maintaining the existing differ
entails in favor of the port of Philadelphia,
and we are doing all in our power to main
tain this differential, but the whole subject
mas reached point when il will be neces-
sary to seriously review the situation and
probably this can be done, you suggest,
by new observation on the lines of arbi-
tration of 1882 and the subsequent reference
to the Interstate-commerce Commission of
1898, and we suggest, as this is a contention
between ports, you promptly take the in
itiative measures to secure a reference of
this whole subject either to the Interstate
commerce Commission or a new board of
arbitration"

Eric May Drop Pullman Cars.

1t is stated that the passenger department
of the Erie is considering favorably a plan
which, if put in force, will equip the road
with its own sleeping and parlor cars. 1t is
claimed that for the last year the Pullman
cars that have been furnished the Erie have
not been up to the expectations of the pas
senger officials, who were aiming to equip
the road with the best rolling stock obtain
able. The Pere Marquette operates a chair
car service of its own at rate much less
than charged by the Pullman Company,
and the Pennsylvania owns a large proper
ton of its Pullmans as does the Union
Pacific and the New York, New Haven &
Hartford road. President Underwood, of
the Erie, Is said to look with favor on the
plan, which he expects will improve the
service and give the Erie the same advan-
tage of the other roads in operating its own
sleeping and passenger cars. All railroad
men say there has been a scarcity of Pull
man cars In the last year. Pullman men
say they have difficulty i'm supplying the
kind of cars sought, and many have been
rebuilt and put into service in the last few
months.
