Committees of Eastern and Western railroad
lines have been going over their freight rates
for the last two months and agreeing on mis-
csllaneous advances. particularly on rougher

way legislation.
Eastern lines have been setting the pace in
advancing rates, but Central Western lines are

S. P.'s HEAVY CASH REQUIREMENTS.
Expected to Invade Money Market When
Conditions AmeliOrate

It is regarded as probable that the Southern
Pacific Company will be in the market for be-
tween s4OOOO.OOO and S5O.OOO,O00 cash just as
soon money conditions viii enable ii TO do
SO. These figures represent the outside capital
requirements in sight. The financia! position
Of the road is such, however. that II could de-
fer this call on the public for six months or a
year, being enabled to get all the cash it needs
for emergencies from private sources.
In June, 1905. the cash accounts of the South
ern Pacific showed a decrease of more than $40.-
600. 600 from the preceding year. It's cash liza
bilities on June 80 amounted to moro than $19,-
G00.000 to meet which the company held only
S145O0 600 cash. AS the calls for cash since that
time 10 meet the demands Of work in progress
have been heavy. while all that has been re-
ceived has come from transportation receipts, il
is likely that bills payable represent at present
a large item on the books of the company.
