500 STOCK MAKES
A STRONG Squirt
ADVANCE DUE TO RUMoRED RE-
TIREMENT OF s'PREFERRED.n
Common Quickly Goes from 151 to 1853
While Preferred Goes Six Points, to
183-Minneapolis Holders of the Sc
curities Are About $4,000 to the
Good.

Rumor that the 500 road is planning
a move to retire the preferred stock
sent prices booming on the New York
Stock exchange, and Minneapolis own
ers Of the securities wore broad smiles
as they watched the tickers and saw
the common run up y points, from l5l
on rise from III to 1873. Apparently
there is no end to the good things in
store for the Minneapolis property.
About $4,000 shares of 500 common and
preferred are snugly tucked away in
Minneapolis strongboxes. The last
jump meant $140,000 increase to Min
neapolis holders. The rise from it's be
ginning, seven years ago, when the
less, to date, represents almost $4,000
600 increase in the wealth of Mime
apolis citizens.
Nothing in American finance can
equal the story of "little Soo." There
have been booms and corners and
manipulative prices in stocks more re-
markable than the rise in 500, but
hancement based upon increased earn
ings.
The rumor of the retirement of the
preferred stock is not confirmed here
or in New York or Montreal. Probably
| it is unwarranted. Yet its effect was
to send few buyers into the market,
and SO scarce and SO tightly. held is the
stock that even moderate buying Gre
ated great strength.
It is doubtful if any one market fac
tor ever contributed more to the pros
perity of Minneapolis than this long ad
a little 500 thru hard times when there
were no dividends and the stock would
not bring $40 share on forced sale
They had confidence in Minneapolis an(
j the northwest. When, after years o.
waiting, the preferred stock began t.
pay them per cent, and the common
placed on a 4 per cent basis, sold abov.
par, their faithfulness had its reward
But the end was not yet. Six per cen
great is the increase in net earnings
Compared with other leading northwes
stocks 500 is not high. Great Northern
pays z per cent and sold today 3063
and Northern Pacific pays and sol
today at 2O7ss. 4
Big November Earnings.
The 500 Line shows, for November
phenomenal earnings. Gross earning
;. increased over 100000, and net carr
ings increased approximately $4,000
Gross for five months Of the current fs
/, cal year has increased $l,314,043 fro1
$3,903,935 for the five minths of Las
year. This is equal to more than 33 pc
cent of an increase. Net earnings hav
increased in about the same ratio.
The 500 Line is getting an enormou
! traffic both in and out of the Canada
northwest as a direct result Of the pro-
porous conditions of the farmers Of tbs
great area, resulting from the immens
wheat crop of the past year and the e,
cellent one of the, year preceding.

stickney Favors Commission.

President A. B. Stickney Of the
Great Western road spoke at the after
noon session Of the league yesterday.
He advocated the creation Of a congress
sional commission to investigate and
work out a scheme for government reg
ulation In his discussion Of the ques-
ton he declared that while the rail
roads are factor in prosperity, the
farmers and business men are just as
essential to the railroads as the rail.
roads are to them.
G. F. Staples Of the railroad and
warehouse commission followed Mr..
Stickney. He said Minnesota had the
best common carrier laws Of any state
in the union, but better ones were still
needed. There is no danger of COM
missions abusing their power. They
need liberal appropriations to make
their Investigations, and the fullest au.
thority in securing information from
the railroad companies. He cited de-
cisions Of the supreme court to show
how little ground the commission was
! to work upon in revising rates. j. G.

HSome Effects Of Present Railway
Methods showing how industries may
