IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES

New York, April 17-The election of R. s. I,ovett to the beard of the New York Central gives the Union Pacific a direct representative of it's ST, ,858.000 Central stock for the first time since the death of B H. Hartman. In Mir. f9arrimaa' s time it was common for the same man to be a director in two
 parallel and competing lines. That arran cement has been a less com fortable one in recent years, and
 Judge Lovett. being 3 director of the
 Baltimore & Ohio, in which the Union
 Pacific had a much larger stock In terest, did not seek place on the Central board for himself or for any representative. Now the Union Pa cIf1c. barring legal opposition. has un- dertaken to dispose Of it's Baltimore & Ohio stock, and Judge Lovett has already retired from the B. & o. board His election to the Central as far as it goes, may be taken to indf- catee that the UNion Pacific directors Icontemplate retaining the company s dednite y. It cost Union Pacific $7,-i poo 0oo more than it's present market
 value, and Judge Lovett may think it needs looking after.
 ENot since March, 1910. has New York city been able to sell bonds on such advantage terms as commanded two days ago when it disposed of s65, GOO fifty year 1-3s. to a syI1di- x cate headed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and
 William A Read 6 Co, at it's bid of 101 .45. Incidental fly, this is the first time that a@New York city bond issue in it's entirety has gone to one bid der. Tn bond circles some comment was heard over the fact that no bid was submitted by J. F. Morgan & Co, as in former city ofrerfngs this firm was generally prominent in the list of bidders The next largest bid to that of the Kuhn Loeb Read sy 1di cate came from the Guaranty Trust Co., for $2O.000,000 of the bonds at. prices ranging from 1o1 0a1S to 107 .86a 3.

 It is estimated that from sI0.00o coo. to s15, 00O, 900 Of the new city bonds will be placed with foreign investors It is impossible to accurately .guage the extent of foreign subscrip tfons, as theI final IodEment cannot be deterfnined from first or second hand parchasers However, judging by some Of the bids put in and the fact that several of the large internationa1 banking houses have agreed to buy from Kuhn.

OVER INCLINED PLANES
soMETHINo OF A NOVELTY IN
THE HAULING OF TRAINS.
Eastern Line Has Decided to RsbuiId
and increase Capacity Of One At
Mahanoy, Pa-Fsw Are
In Use.

Inclined planes, over which trains
were hauled by cables, we're a familiar
feature in the earlier railroEus, but
they have been generally discontinued.
and are commonly looked upon as old.
fashioned. This being the case, It is
an interesting fact that the Philadel-
phia & Reading railroad. after a care
full engineering investigation, has
chosen to rebuild It's plane at Mahanoy,
Pa, with increased capacity, rather
than to abandon it. In commenting
on this, Engineering News New York,
December 49,, which calls 1t "a re-
markable survival" notes that the old
planes were, given up, not 80 much be-
cause they were inefficient from an en-
cheering standpoint as because they
had been built on a small scale and
could not handle the increased volume
of traffic. The fact that there is still
a place in railway operation where the
inclined plane a show an economic
advantage over the locomotive, the
writer thinks, is a fact well worth re.
cording. He writes:
w recall only two instances in
railway-construction work during the
past 20 years VIII - the inclined plane
has been Introduced. One of. these
Is the railway line, which was built a
number OF years ago under the au.
spices Of the British government, ex-
tending from the east coast Of Africa
Inland to The central African lakes.
Across tie ourse of this railway
there rams a precipitous escarpment,
1000 feet or more In height, as we re-
call, the result probably of some an
cient geologic fault. The e~scarpment
extends so far north and south and is
so steep that 1t was found impractic.
able to make a detour around It or to
pursue a zigzag course up its face, at
least in the original construction. An
inclined plane was therefore, intro
duced to haul trains by cable up the
escarpment; and this, 30 far as we are
aware, is still in use.
THE other plane is of more recent
construction and Is located In the Gu
ban ore fields. It's use in connection
with ore traffic is much more similar
to the conditions existing at Mahanoy
tina is the case with the African line"
1t would be interesting, the News
thinks, to inquire whether at other
places in the United States an inclined
plane might be used instead Of the 10
connective as a regular system OF op.
Grafton. From the point of view of the
operating department the advantages
Of the locomotive are obvious, but
there are numerous offsetting disad-
vantages which are perhaps not fully
realized. To quote the conclusion:
Taking the Mahanoy plane, for ex.
apple, it will be noted that the weight
