Last year the cost of transportation

compared with 35.9 per cent in the
previous year. The increased cost last

Canadian Pacific Earns Fifteen Mil
lions in Ono Year.

In its last fiscal year the Canadian
Pacific road earned for its STOCKHOLM
ers a surplus of $12.SSO,515, as com
pared with $16.639,SO6 the previous
year. This sum does not include in
terest on the proceeds of land sales.
amounting to S2.544.S12, and making
the total earnings for the ordinary
shares s15.424,S27.
For the last two years there has
been a steady increase in operating
ing increased from 62.1 per cent of
gross earnings in 1906 to 69.47 per
cent for the last fiscal year. This is
the most unsatisfactory feature in the
annual report. An analysis of the
statement of earning and expenses
shows that the largest part of this in
crease is chargeable directly to the
cost of transportation.
During the last year the road oper-
ated 9.426 miles of line. In addition
to this it has under construction T0S
miles of new lines and PSI miles
which are worked separately. The
road is capitalized at about $33, 900 a
mile. which must be considered ex-
ceedingly low for such a system.
At present the company holds in its
treasury good current assets of SILL
622,524. and securities of other COM
panies acquired at a cost of S5T,41S,-
36S. Their par value is $106,676, 233.

much more than par, and some are
worth less. Many consist of first mort
