NEW HAVEN'S EARNINGS
Running at Rate of Only 2,3
Per Cent on Stock.

The detailed statement OF the New
York. New Haven e Hartford Railroad
Company FOR October and the four months
OF the current fiscal year, made public
Yesterday By Chairman Elliott, showed
that the earnings for the four months
were al the rate OF % per cent year on
the capital stock OF 100000. These fig
ures Will be submitted TO the directors
on THURSDAY, when they meet for d!Nl-
dcud action.
These figures speak FOR themselves.
SAYS Chairman Elliott, and emphasize
the seriousness Of the present railroad
situation. Bondholders stockholders and
ali interested i'm the welfare OF New Eng
land can help by exercising their int'u-
ence so that 2 constructive and upbuild-
ing policy can be carried out about the
New England railroads, which are such
an important element in the general vel
fare OF that section OF the country
The October statement showed a de-
crease OF $4,000 In gross and $1,000 In
net. while in the surplus after charges
loss OF $50. coo is exhibited. There was a
decrease OF $4,000 in gross for the four
months and a loss OF g. 46l. 900 in net. The
surplus over fixed charges was Slo2,"o
less than for the corresponding period
last year. After fixed charges there re-
NAMED 81. $50. coo. equal to OF per cent On

II is expected that ut the meeting to-
morrow a quarterly dividend OF per cent

Of the provisions OF the savings BANKS
which state that banks can only BUY

cent dividends for a number OF years.

TRADING ON THE
CONSOLIDATED
Firmness Shown Throughout the
LiSt-BrOkers Cheerful on
General Outlook.

On a good volume of business the mar
ket on the Consolidated Stock Exchange
displayed decided firmness az a whole.
ton in New Haven and special weakness
in some other stocks, like New York
Central and American Sugar Refining.
Early in the session new high prices for
the present movement were attained by
the accepted market leaders. Last Sat
urday's favorable bank statement helped
to stimulate buying. An effect was also
eXerted by the reported statement of At
torney General McReynolds that the adj
mnistration wants to do everything TO
conserve as far as possible the interests
OF investors Still another factor was
talk that 1t was unlikely that the ship
pers OF the country generally would OPP
pose the application for increased rail-
road rates as they recognized its reason
ableness. The Improvement in the mar
ket started with the opening at $50
o'clock. when on the call there were gen.
eral advances compared with Saturdays
ClosinGs. Union Pacific on the call was
up = OF a point and Reading and Steel
each up y. Canadian Pacific with a rise
OF a full point was up the most The
lead thus set by the Consolidated was
followed by the New York Stock EX-
change, when IL opened at 10 o'clock.
Transactions totaled for the day 40,67O
shares The market in Steel was a
broad one, its sales totalling 1900 shares
Readfnp which came neNt with 10 100
shares, failed to sell above l5iis, against
a New York Stock Exchange high OF
1914 New York Central sold as low as
9iia, against 9iss on the other board, but
New Haven did not get under 7ol:,
against 752s. Further dividend reduction
talk circulated regarding the last named.
American Sugar Refining touched 10"
of lOi5s. against l02 on the other eX-
change
