that there was never before SO small

ent time, this being due 10 the fnan-
cial depression and the tendency of
the railroads to retrench in expendi-
ture
The annual showing was very
good one, however, the company hav-
ing sold s4.340 cars. its gross sales
amounting TO Sl04,3l9,5s9. The net
earnings were sS.214,617, out OF
which s5.400,000 was paid in divi-
dends, leaving more than s2,S00.00
TO add TO surplus. The working capt.
tai OF the company was increased 10
s17.1S4,714 during the year.
