l tBarron Financial News.1

Fl (BarTon Financial NewS.1
 New York, Sept 9-Directors of the Missouri Pacific railroad have voted to write down the value of the com pany's investment in Wabash Rail road stocks to closing prices of June 30, the end of the fiscal year. The loss to be written off amounts to ap- proxirnate1y S2, 500, ,000, representing the decline from, the cost as appearing on the Hconpany's books to the low level reached in the market onaJune 30. Of this loss, $1, ,773, GOO of wabash preferred stock, carried on the books at a cost of $1, 978, ,715, and which on June 30 was selling at 5 1-2 per share. The St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern's loss to be written off will amount to $777,- share on June 30. of g, 2,8zB, O90 par value, of common stock.
 The Iron Mountain also owns $2, ,913,- 200 Wabash HaiIroad first refundfng and extension 4 per cent bonds car ried on the books at a cost of $1, S79,- 814, on which, it is understood, values were not adjusted. These bonds are de- posted with the Metropolitan Trust Co. additional collateral under the Iron Mountain nt1ifying and refunding mort gage, and will participate in the re- organization of the Wabash Railroad at a value yet to be determined
 Fries 1914 operations show strong evidence of the extremely unsatfsfac- tory conditions affecting railroads, and particularly trunk lines during the past twelve months. Gross revenues in the fiscal period declined $',660, 900, Or 2.Ts per cent, from those of the pre- vious year, while net earnings after taxes declined $3, TAI. 900, or p. per cent as compared with 1913. Accord ing to official estimates, the 1914 sur plus was in the neighborhood of $20G,- GOO, as against a surplus of $6 682, 56S in uf dnfT1 in iF1 Iof n sinking fund payments and $657 ,o00 for additions and betterments charged to income account.
 Between now and the end of 1915 there are $96, 500, 900 public utilities se- curities, largely notes maturing Of fhese,, $187, 900, 600 fall due before the close of the current year. The total ma turtles for next year are below $7S, ,0OO,- 900. This figure compares with approx imately $128, coo, GOO of such maturities in the current year, showing a grati- flying decrease in the amount of pub- lie utility naatarities to be met next year. This decrease of s42, 900 GOO is more than overbalanced by the in- creases of $63, ,000, 900 in railroad matur- itfes.
 Taking the railroads entering New York city as 8 whole. Labor day travel was as heavy as traffic men expected. On one or two of the lines it fell be- low the volume of last year. probably due in some measure to the fact that the holiday this year came one week later than last year.
 While the Labor day travel on the Delaware, Iackawanna &sWestern was somewhat larger than a week ago, the general passenger business of the road is off as compared with last year. Backawanna, does not plan any cur tai1ment in passenger service, be1iev- ing that it's earning of $1.71 per pas senger train warrants the retention of their full train service.

Tobacco Stems And Stalks
 Are Valuable Fertilizers

Washington, Sept. 9-Should the de- naand of Europe for American tobacco stems cease, these stems, which con tain large quantities of plant food es- peciaily potash, may be used to good advantage by the American grower of tobacco as fertilizer Soil ferti1ized by these stems secured from the cigar and tobacco factories and stemmeries will produce leaf-tobacco of better burning qualities and textet1re
 Tobacco stems as fertilizers should be applied in smaller quantities than manure, because they contain larger quantities of the constituents which feed the plant, according to the de- parfnent's s tobacco specialists Two tons per acre of 'sseed stems (stems from cigar factories) or 1-2 tons of TX Kentucky stems (stems from the to- baeco factories and sternrneries) are known to give good results in New England and so far as available, these stems will undoubtedly furnish a, very satisfactory source Of potash, as well as other plant foods, in other tobacco sections.
 Considerable quantities of tobacco stems have long been exported to Germany and other parts of Europe where they are often used in the man ufacture of low-grade tobacco and as a source of nicotine.
 Tobacco stalks which are not re- moved from the farm under prevailing methods, are not always used to the best advantage as a fertilizer Like the stems, they contain considerable quantities of valuable plant food (though not so much) and may be used freely as a fertilizer for tobacco and other crops. They may be profit ably used to improve the hay lot by simply spreading the stalks over the land in the fall or they may be plowed under al the same season for culti- vated crops such as cotton, corn, to- bacco, etc. The practice of piling to- bacco stalks in heaps and leaving them exposed to the weather means a waste of valuable material that might
