INCOME FROM PASSENGERS.
Discussing Revenues of the Southern
RAILWAY,

Discussion of the Southern railways in
come from the passenger service in North
Carolina was the burden of the testimony OF
A. H. Plant, controller of the Southern
railway in the North Carolina rate hearing
before Master of Chancery Montgomery to-
day. -. 49,,
Speaker Justice of the North Carolina
house of representatives asked whether,
taking into account only strictly passenger
trains in North Carolina-that Is. through
trains from one point in the state to an
other, and local trains in the state, the
Southern operated those trains at a loss.
Mr.. Plant replied: My Judgment Is that
including those local trains running on the
main lines with the local trains running on
the branch or local lines, as distinguished
from the through interstate passenger
trains there is a loss in the local business.
but taken as q whole including the through
passenger trains and the local passenger
trains believe there is a margin OF profit
In the business as whole. "a =,
sharp tilt occurred between Mr. Justice
and Controller Plant just before the noon re-
cess Mr.. Justice asked Mr.. Plant how
much more II would cost to carry a freight
train with passengers than without pas
sengers on the High Point and ASHORE
line.
Mr. Plant proceeded to answer the ques-
ton in his own way. but Mr.. Justice IN
sisted upon direct reply.
Judge Montgomery informed the witness
that he must answer yes or no" Then
Mr.. Plant replied that the cost could not be
determined accurately.
Some little time was consumed before the
regular order of testimony was resumed.

Erie Directors to Issue Warrants for
Amount

NEW YORK. August 29.-The directors
OF the Erie railroad met yesterday and
declared the regular dividends on the first
and second preferred stock. but made them
payable in the form Of warrants instead
of In cash. This was better than had been
expected. as it had been rumored before
hand that the dividends on the second
preferred would be passed entirely. The
interest on the warrants is to be per
cent. but their duration and form will
be determined later by special COM
mittee after authority for the issue Of
the warrants is obtained from the public
service commission
1t Is Understood that the declaration OF
the dividend in this form Is according to
the policy that stockholders should get
dividends whenever earned. and at the
same time It gives the road at rate OF
interest lower than 1t could get IN the
ordinary way loan of about 81, SOC. 600.

needs for improvements.
The full dividends OF per cent each
were paid on the first preferred stock in
1004 1905 and 1906 and on the second pre-
ferred stock in 1906.
At the meeting the earnings OF the road
for the year ended June 30 were made
public. The figures are as follows: Gross

rectors further resolved that dividend war
rants should be issued eyidencing the right
of the several holders Of the first pre-
ferred and second preferred stock to receive
dividends as above declared. Application
will! at once be made to the public service

the Illinois Steel Company has surplus

sCHWAB NO PESSIMIST.
Thinks the Steel Outlook Win Con-

NEW YORK. August 29.-Charles NJ
Schwab Is optimistic over the steel and iron
situation. He sees no reason for discour-
agement, much less pessimism- He said in
an interview that his optimism was based
on the observation that during the thirty
years In which he has been identified with
the steel and iron business there has been
constant increase in that business almost
year by year. and therefore there will be
no stoppage now. He continued:
THE extension of our railroads is obvi-
ousiy necessary. and the increase in our
steel producing capacity follows as mat
ter of course
The increase in demand will most as
suredly go on. and those who saw 1000 600
tons of steel used in 1880 and nearly % O0O.-
GOO tons In 1907 will live to see the time,
not so many years hence. when we shall
need JO.OOO.OO0 tons of steel All records in
the steel and iron trade will be eclipsed in
the not too distant future
DO not misunderstood me. We may
nave. We shall have, recessons, but the
ultimate result is never in doubt

BULLS AND BEARS


Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK. August 29..while all care
fh students OF the financial situation real
tze that there are many important mat
tiers to be cleared up and that the process
VIII undoubtedly involve some considerable
time, they confidently believe that the cor
ner has been turned and that there will be
gradual improvement from this time on.
Some observers already believe that money
has not actually been as scarce as in
Dictated by most of the reports in circula-
ton and the quotable rates for time loans.
They think that if the actual stringency
had been as great as has been reported. the
reduction in rates for time accommoda-
tons would not have been made so soon
after the preliminary announcement Of
Secretarv rortelyou's plan for relieving the
money me- ket. A banker who studied the
situation cry closely says that ne under
stands that competent authorities estimate
our obligations to Europe at the present
time at only about 70 per cent of what
they were at this time year ago. He says
his information Is that these obliga tions
are now about $1OO.O0000O. in comparison
with more than 800, 600 600 at this time
year ago. He points out that If these fig
ures are reasonably correct, after the sur
plus Of our manufactured and agricultural
products for the year is shipped to Eu-
everything in excess of $1OOOOO,OOO will
stand to our credit.
-
The ordinary Spectator is still consider
ably puzzled over the situation largely be-
cause of his inability to make quick profits
from day to day. 1t is known. however.
that some who are willing to wait six
are inclined to buy stocks moderately
whenever they display special weakness
A man who has been an active operator
ana who made great deal of money
last spring on the short side, and who
has been extremely conservative and even
pessfmist1o for several months now takes
more hopeful view Of the situation. and
is disposed to buy moderately of the stand
ard issues.
Naturally. various views are taken OF
the action Of the Erie directors with re-
spect to the preferred dividends Several
prominent railroad men who were seen
this morning. and one or more bankers,
expressed the opinion that the action was
the wisest that could have been taken
under the circumstances. A railroad ex-
pert who is thoroughly familiar with the
position OF the Erie said this morning
that OF would come out all right within q
few years, and that the obligations incurred
by yesterdays action of the dividend would
