LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The present year Is near enough to it's
end to enab Bile those familiar with the busi-
ness of the street railways of the city to
form some idea of the extent of the profits
which the balance sheet will show to the
credit of the twelve months that are COM
ing now to close. The official figures OF
course will not be known until after the
first of the year.
1t is possible, however to make some ap-
Proclamation of what the profit has been
in the business over the expenses. In the
case of the street railway systems IN tnlS
city what remains at the close of the year
over and above the operating expenses ana
the fixed charges is not expressed IN large
figures as compared with similar corpora
tons in other cities, but by careful man
agement the natural increase in the Dusl-
ness makes it possible to add to the sur
plus.
Last year the Capital Traction Company
earned, net, something over per cent ana
this year its net earnings over ana ABOVE
the dividend. it is estimated, will be anooe
80 per cent more than that
In the case of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company last year Its net
earnings amounted to nearly L per cent
on the common stock of the company,
which, as yet. has not paid dividend IL
is calculated that this year larger adol-
ton will be made to the surplus than was
the case last year, and that such addition
will be nearly equivalent to per cent on
the common stock
The course of the trading at the meeting
today of the stock exchange did not snow
any change from the general character
which has marked 1t for some days past;
The transactions were not numerous ana
the alterations made in the quotations were
not of special consequence.
Those interested In the new trust COM
pany which is being organized In this CITY
express themselves as encouraged by tne
progress made in placing the stock 1t IS
stated that the subscriptions have reached
the half million mark.
James B. Lackey, the secretary OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Company.
has resigned that position in order to accept
business offer in New York city. Mr..
Lackey has been connected with the COM
pany for the past ten years. having entered
its service a clerk.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Lackeys sue
cessor will be Mr.. Whitehead, who mas
been with the company for number or

PRICES FOR BALED HAY.
Why Eastern Oregon Product Sell
Higher Than Willamette Valley.

There may be another explanation
for the facts stated in the following
quotation than difference of quality
in favor of the eastern Oregon hay
says the Portland Telegram. Most of
the land in the Willamette valley
which produced timothy had 10 or 10
years ago has been plowed up and put
to more profitable uses. What is left
cannot yield much, if any, more than
is consumed by the farmers team at
home.
According to authentic reports fur
nished the Baker City Democrat the
farmers in the Haines neighborhood
alone have furnished for shipment to
Portland this season 1000 tons of
ljSled timothy hay. The price realiz-
ed on board the cars was SO per ton.
THE latest Portland quotations
give the selling price of eastern Ore
gon timothy at $13.5O@14.5O per ton.
This compares something more than
tavorably with Willamette valley
grown hay, which sold at IS to sic
during the same period.
