MISSOURI PACIFIC AFFAIRS.
Stock Issued in Payment for Wabash
Stock and Bonds.

New York, March 21.-Interests iden-
tilted with the Missouri Pacific main
tain that the alarms occasioned over
the publication of the roads report
and the violent selling of the stock on
the exchange do not seem to be 5usti-
fed by careful consideration OF the
contents Of the report. They also call
attention to extensive assets held IN
the company's treasury. which, while
al present nonproductive, are expected
to develop considerable earning power
in the near future.
It is pointed out that the decline in
gross and net earnings was due chief
" to the decreases shown in January
and February of 1905. During these
two months the net earnings OF the
property decreased 81, 600. 600. It was
this decrease in net earnings that gave
rise to the rumors before the payment
of the dividend last July, that the
dividend was in danger. This was self
evident If decreases of that nature
were to keep up; but from that time
on the road has shown very satlsfac-
tory results, both in gross and net
earnings. as compared with other pro
pefties in the same territory
Gross earnings of the Missouri Pa
cifc for the month of January in
creased SAT-. 600 and for the month Of
February 1851, 600, or a total FOR these
two months Of $1,15S. 900. The MISSOURI
Pacific last year showed in lis interest
charges on bonds issued for the con-
q large part of the river and Gulf
system. The White River line was
not opened until January, and a large
part of the river and the Gulf ROAD
was opened in December.
