OIL FUEL CONTRACT
TAKES HUGE SUPPLY
Mexican Petroleum Company
Says It Will Ship Yearly
5O.OOO,OOO Barrels.
INTERESTS IN COMBINE

One OF the most elaborate annual re-
ports of a large corporation that has
been seen in Wall Street since boom
days. when promotion schemes were oc-
cupying large attention. was issued yes
terday by the Mexican Petroleum Com
pany. The report is filled with large
halftones Of the company's plants In
Mexico. its tank steamers and its other
marine equipment.
Earnings OF the company for the year
ended December 81, 1913. showed the ef-
fects OF the upheaval in Mexico. Profits
were $2.763,o56. against $i.275,S69 In
the previous year. The preferred and
the common dividends having been
passed. saving to the company s2,l73,ooo,
which was paid out in 1913. the balance
for the year was s2.7lS,02l, as COM
pared with sI,y52.10" the year before.
The tribute of the fighting factions
upon the company in the form OF taxes
that were paid by 1t under protest was
s301.323 during the year, the total
amount OF such taxes in the last and
previous years being carried on the
balance sheet as $l.006,s05. The amount
paid In this way during the year was
taken out Of surplus earnings as were
also S590.000 in expenditures on oil
lands. s965.543 in bond redemption.
Sales of oil dukng the year were s,23l,-
34S barrels, compared with l2.325.2sS
barrels the year before. The National
Railways took only 422.5l5 barrels,
against the 100000 barrels they had
contracted for.
President Doheny describes In glowing
terms the future of the contract the
company has concluded with English
transportation syndicates to supply
them with their fuel oil. This Is the con-
tract which. when described by Presi-
dent Doheny on his return from Europe
in April caused the stock to soar to SO.
Since then 1t has steadily declined. SELL
ing now around II.
He says that il would be possible to
produce for a score of years an annual
supply of $4,000, 900 barrels of oil. which
at the net average price for 1913 and
1914 would give the company "A yearly
surplus OF sl7.oo0.000. To move this
amount of oil to market, however he
shows. would require double the pipe
line facilities OF the company now in
Mexico and twenty-five 10000 ton tank
steamers.
AS the arrangements being made
with our new associates will require de-
livery of large amount of oil at dis
tant ports in the United States, Eu-
rome. South America and Canada, II is
probable that "A much larger tonnage
than that above mentioned will be re-
quired and will actually be In service
carrying the production of your COM
panies wells within "A comparatively
short time" says Mr. Doheny.
THE management therefore takes
satisfaction in announcing to you that IA

RAILWAY EARNINGS
SHOW GOOD INCREASE
Growth Chiefly Due to Rate
Raises, Economy and Tax
Reductions.

WASHINGTON, July 2o-Railway earn
ings in the United States are Increasing,
according to compilation made public
to-day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The returns to the commission
show that the increase is due only in
part to increase In the volume of traf-
fic. 1t is attributed in the main to in
creases In rates, rigid economy and re-
duced taxation in "A number of States.
Tho commission compilation gives the
returns for May of this year. as COM
pared with May. 1914. and for the eleven
month period Of the current fiscal year,
AS compared with the corresponding
period of the preceding fiscal year.
For the eleven months ended with
May of this year the operating income
per mile was s2,Sil, against s2,s24 in
the same period of the previous year.
The compilation does not give the total
income for 1914. The total for the
eleven months of the current year was
s650.79j,70j, divided as follows: East
ern district. s26i,iil,76j Southern dis
trict, sS7,3i9,1i3; Western district.
s2ss.00j,s00. Operating incomes East
ern. 1914, $4,000; 1915. si.495 South
ern, 1914, s2,4lI: 1915, s2,06i; Vest
ern, 1914. $500; 1915. s2,34S.
1t viii be noted that operating income
per mile increased in the Eastern dis
trict and dropped off in the Southern
and Western districts.
For the month OF May total railway
operating income was approximately
S0s,0OO,O0O. 1t increased from sl9j per
mile in May, 1914, to s2jt in May, 1915.
For the month there was an increase In
the Income per mile in all three districts
as follows: Eastern, May, 1914. s3i7:
May, 1915, s4s1; Southern, May, 1914,
sl7i; May, 1915, 5000; Western district,
May. 1914. $l49; May, 1915. sl74.
This shows an increase in business In
May and foreshadows a still larger in
crease in June OF this year. as COM
pared with the returns for June, 1914.
