RUBBER PROFITS GROW
Price of Crude Product Likely to
Drop, SAYS Mr.. Colt.

The annual report Of the United States
Rubber Company for the fiscal year ended
March 81, 1870 issued yesterday. saws that
the year was, on the whole. the most pros
porous in the company's history Net sales
were Sc. 81. 700 larger than for the preceding
year, although part of the increase repre-
scented the higt er selling prices due to the
advanced cost of crude rubber and other
materials.
Gross sales were s5s.3o5 or Net sales
were sSS.711.o5l. and. deducting S2s ss4. 457 as
the cost of goods sold, the manufacturing
profits were sS,Se594. Freight, taxes. in
surance, general and selling expenses ag-
gregated 1881. 10. leaving the operating
profits IS 994S72. Total income was ss.o1e, s22
and net income S.177,57S Deducting bad
debts. interest on the ten year 6 per cent
bonds. 100000 reserve for doubtful accounts
and $4,000 reserve for contingencies. the
net profits were s5.5S5, 163. against s4,5o7 .655
for the preceding year and the surplus,
after payment of s3.574.205 dividends, was
s1.e6095S. bringing the total surplus as of
March 81 TO s7,7ss.597.
The report discusses the boom in crude
rubber, reaching the decision that with
almost unlimited forests OF native rubber
trees in Brazil and other tropical countries
and an almost unlimited area in the Far
East upon which the rubber tree can be
successfully cultivated. it would seem that
rubber cannot be maintained indefinitely at
a price from three to ten times the cost of
production
President Colt also calls attention to the
company's plans for itself producing in
Brazil and the Far East the supply of
crude rubber needed by it. and says that
the yield will furnish in the not distant
future a substantial part OF the United
States Rubber Company's requirements.

CENTRAL RATES TO Go UP
Officials Working on Schedule
Other Roads Inactive.

Commuters on the various divisions of
the New York Central Railroad will proba-
bly, have to contribute share toward the
general increase of wages recently given
to trainmen, according to information which
became public yesterday. AT the Office OF
the general passenger agent it was said
that though the advance had not been
finally determined upon yet. the passenger
officials were working on the suburban rate
question.
We're limited on the proposition Of adj
vancing rates. said one official yesterday,
but suburban rates have been neglected
In a measure for a long time and we're
aiming to make them uniform on all our
divisions
The rate OF increase had not been con-
sidered yet, it was said, but would GER
tainly not be any higher than the recent
increase on the New Haven system, and
in many cases not as high.
General passenger agents on the Erie
and the Jersey Central declared that any
