NEW HAVEN'S BIG DEFICIT
On Report of 1913 Earnings
Stock Makes New Low Record.

On the announcement yesterday that the
New York, New Haven e. Hartford RAIL
road Company showed a deficit OF 1850
900. after the payment Of dividends. during
the fiscal year ended June 80. 1913, the
stock declined to 96%s, the lowest at "hlch
IL has ever sold and a loss OF rs points
from Saturdays closing quotation. me
1918 deficit compares with deficit in lsl2
OF sos, 9S9, and in 1911 Of Sl.2675S9. In l9lo
the New Haven showed surplus OF

is the smallest since 1903.
The earnings for the last fiscal year
were equivalent to approximately per
cent on the New Ravens slS0,0OO0e out
standing stock and the amount OF diVi-
dends paid was ~ per cent IL was
pointed out that the corrpany's recent
issue of s67, $50. 400 per cent debentures
will not largely increase the roads hXeu
charges over those OF the last hscai
year. They are to be used to refund sto'-
600. 600 maturing notes, and will also re-
duce the floating debt, thereby eftecting
a reduction In interest. II is estinA'eu
that the increase in the fixed charses
will not exceed s1,3OO,00o rs a result OF the
new financing.
The directors OF the New Haven on

from per cent to per cent. IL IS sehe'-
ally admitted that the task of maintain
ing this rate has been made more 1lfilcul'
by the issuance OF the new deoehtureS'
This task will appear more diihcuit DC
cause the early months Of the last hscal
year were record ones, while lot INC
months OF July and August there are e%-
