Special to The Journal. r.. T.. 'ss
New York, jan 2l.-The plan of Hill and his
associates to distribute the assets Of the North
ern Securities company, according to the terms
prepared months ago, has again been blocked. 1t
is estimated that something like $40, 600 is
tied up in the treasury of the Northern Securi-
ties company, and Its controlled properties. Dur
ing the last year the Northern Pacific earned
a surplus Of $40, 229,3 11; Great Northern earned
a surplus of $14, 1929, 145, and Burlington earned
surplus of $12, S14, 914, making combined sur
plus for the three roads controlled by the North
ern Securities company of $42,3I3,37O. Out OF
this surplus there was paid $sS34, 749 On the
Burlington joint per cent bonds, leaving
balance Of $33, 53S, 621. Owing to the Hartman
Northern Securities company practically this
tire Is tied up in the treasures of the three
; companies. In addition, ut the opening of the
last fiscal year, all three companies possessed
handsome surplus that the estimate that
fully $40, 600 is at present tied up does not
appear to be an eXaggeratiOn. Northern Securi-
ties company appears to be earning between 8
and 10 per cent its $500 000, 900 capital stock.
! rites are such as to encourage cheerfulness
among investors. The great ease in money, with
the prospect Of low rates for many weeks to
Gomez NATURALLY create great enthusiasm in specu
stock market values and the cautious
warnings by the oyerconservative ele-
ment in the street fail to change
the opinion Of the greater number of people in
ness extraordinary activity i'll the stock market
on advancing level Of values. OF course, the
larger financial interests have good supply Of

TELEGRAPH STATISTICS.

The census department has prepared the fol-
lowing figures on the telegraph systems:
The commercial telegraph systems numbered
% in 1902, compared with II in 1880. This
striking decrease Is due, however, to the num-
the magnitude of the equipment and business
showing great increase. At the present time
the telegraph business is practically controlled
by two companies, yet the number of miles of
wire in operation in 1902 was more than four
times, the number of messages almost three
times and the receipts from messages more than
twice great as in 1880. The average rate per
message in 1902, after deducting the number Of
cable messages and the receipts therefrom, was
Sic, compared with 43c In 1880.
The total receipts Of the commercial telegraph
companies in 1902 amounted to $40, 93O, O38 of
which S6.2 per cent represented the gross receipts
ed to $26 500 ALL the net income to 50, 9s2, OO4,
and the net surplus for the year to So, 722. 311.
The commercial telegraph companies reported
1,31s.350 miles of wire in operation in 1902, but
also made report Of 1907, O46 miles as owned
or leased.
