IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES

CThe Barron Financial News Seny fceO.
 New York. May 27.-AlthouEh- Balti- more & Ohio's April statement prac- ticaIIy repeats the excellent exhibit of March with a. gain of more than $500, : 900, or about 50 per cent.s sin net earn ings, it is not yet a certaintyeth the $ per cent. dividend will be fully earned in the fiscal year. Much de- bends upon how the directors feel about it.
 If they recall too wildly some of the things that were said when the company drew upon its surplus to maintain dividends in 1908, then the ordinary maintenance of June and some of the deferred food charges hand, the directors may recall that some seven or eight millions of the $40, ,0o0,000 surplus may have been add ed since the last time the dividend was maintained though not earned within the year. and that the whole erty other than the fixed plant of the railroad-that is-by investments. - 8 These facts may appeal todhe board as justifying them in continuing to, make liberal naintenance charges throughout the year and in cleaning fore June 30. The flood damage was all repaired and the bills paid some. time since. What remains is only to- take it into the operating account as rapidly as possible, as the cofnrnerce commission has directed all the rail- roads affected to do.
 Massachusetts Lighting Cos. report met sales for April of various zsubsi- sdiaries of S8o,007, an increase of s, 164 over net sales for April. 1913. with net sales for the ten months ended April s30 1914 of $8S9; III, an increase Of efo r7 April 30, 1913 Subsidiaries of the Massachusetts Lighting Cos on April 1, 1914, served 22,910 gas consumers and 7,0s4 electric consumers, a total of 290S4 consumers, as compared with a total Of PITTS gas and electric con- surnerE on April 1, 1913
 In the ten months ended April 30, Interboro1lgh Rapid Transit earned 1S.S per cent. on it's stock as com pared with 15.5 per cent. for the cor responding period of last year. Over fifteen million more passengers were lines than last year in the correspond ing time. This army Of riders is al most three times the population Of Greater New York. At the same time the gross earnings of the company were increasing $S02. .O00, expenses lquentIyr made assertions that thesop- erating ratio Of subway and elevated lines will tend to decrease, or at least remain stationary, until the new sub- way lines begin to operate. when it is expected that for inc first few years the percentage of expenses to gross earnings will increase.
 Few people appeared to consider that the decisions Of the U. $. SUI prerne court in the tap line cases was Of suf1cient importance to affect the market. Probably the indirect effect
 
 considerations market wise; that is, it's effect upon the decision in the rate cases. It has been suggested time and time again that the interstate commerce commission might provide addit1onaI revenue for the railroads by aspa ding to them increases in tap line charges, and the question is now raised as to whether or not the de- cisfon will make easier the action Of the commission in this respect.
