CAPITAL TRACTION SECURI-
TIES ABOVE PAR.

The most significant evidence Of the
prosperity of the Capital TRACTION
ComPany-which requires patrons OF
its Fourteenth street line to ride in
stutfy, closed cars-is found in the
quotations of the Washington Stock
Market.
Yesterday forenoon a Washington
broker bought $1,000 of Capital Trac-
ton bonds at rs. Trading is active
and almost constant in this security
and the price stays around ia and rs
with remarkable regularity.
Capital Traction Company stock
stands on the local exchange at I2S
10 40 and changes hands at about this
figure almost daily.
Naturally, there's a reason. It is
that the Capital Traction Company is
making money-lots of money. In
vestors and spectators know IL. Hence,
their willingness to Iuy Capital Trac-
ton securities almost any day in the
week at above par.
The Capital Traction Company has
SI2,OOO,OOO Of capital stock outstanding.
1t Is all common and pays 6 per cent
annually, or $4,000, to its holders.
The funded debt Of the Capital Trac-
ton Company is 100000 and inter
est is paid upon it at the rate Of 5
per cent per annum.
Last year the Capital Traction Com
pany issued SI,4SOOOO Of bonds and
they were snapped up greedily by
stockholders and other investors.
The explanation is that the Capital
Traction Company enjoys a highly
profitable field in Washington and
makes an enormous return on its in
Yestment.
Last year the Capital Traction Com
pany-
Paid its gross operating expenses of
nearly a million and half dollars.
Paid its stockholders nearly three
quarters OF a million dollars in divi-
dends.
Paid its bond holders more than
. Sl5O,0OO in interest.
Paid more than 100000 in taxes.
And had more than $4,000 left.
Capital Traction bonds and stocks
are higher than they were a year ago
and give every promise of mounting
higher and higher as the years roll on
and the revenues of the company in
crease.
Yet in the face of this condition the
Capital Traction Company finds itself
too poor to furnish its patrons who
make its prosperity possible-cars in
which they can ride comfortably in hot
weather. Like its sister corporation
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, the Capital Traction Com
pany acts as il it were operating on
the principle, Get all we can and give
as little as possible"
