3 PER Cent. Earnings

Satisfactory Income Figured
From Recent Statements
of Company
LAST QUARTER
SAVED THE YEAR

Some idea Of the earnings of the
stockholders Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad for the year ended Decem-
ber 81. 1915, is gained from the last
several monthly statements issued by
the railroad company. The net In

November g, was S5.S03 $50 more than
in the same period of the previous
year. This gain is equal to 1.16 per
cent. on 9.265.70O stock. the
amount outstanding recently. AS 6.S
was earned during the year 1914 on
that amount of stock, the earnings in
the year just closed should be close
to 8 per cent, Il is figured. the vari-
alton from that amount being depend
ent on the actual returns for the
month of December.
The big recovery In railroad traffic
which began in the closing quarter
Of the year 1915, produced highly
gratifying gross and net earnings
right mp to the close Of the fiscal
year, but as most OF 1915 business ran
behind 1914. the total figures for the
year just ended represent only a mod
crate increase in gross revenues over
the previous year.
The Pennsylvania's actual results
for the eleven months indicate that
the full years gain over 1914 will
be between and per cent. i'm gross.
