LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Local nnanciers are confident that the
next dividend of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, to be declared by the d.
reetors in February. will be for the quar-
ter IA per cent. or per cent for the
year. The rate is solely a matter within
the discretion OF the directors, as the
revenues or the corporation would even
permit an per cent dividend. 1t Is as
sumed that the directors viii act con-
servatively and establish the rate at
per cent. Not only Is the earning power
OF the company large enough to meet all
the fixed charges. but it is expected that
when the New York terminals are COM
pieted a few months hence, the revenues
of the system will show a large. II not
startling increase,
Reports Of the operations of the South
ern railway system for the month Of No
vember, just made public, are gratifying
The net earnings for that month were
bigger by 1886 900 than for last year, and
for the first five months OF the fiscal
year increased s2,S9s,2l1, These returns
demonstrate that the traffic systems OF
the Southeast are keeping pace with those
of other parts Of the country, and that
the business OF the Southern Atlantic
States are taking their rightful place
among the producing agencies OF the ma
tion.
