Demand for Farm Machinery

Every machine that saves farm labor
Ia going to be in demand from now on
II is true that the tractor business
hasn't been quite up to expectations
during the first half Of 1917. There
was q feeling in the tractor trade that
it would be overwhelmed by the deluge
of demand. Although inquiries have
been made by the thousands and the
tractor people have driven brisk
business, some of them have been dis
appointed in that it was not bigger
than they could have taken care Of.
As a matter Of fact, the supply Of
farm labor now is about as plentiful as
il was two years ago. 1t will not be
until the young men respond to the
call for military service that the short
age of farm labor will be felt keenly.
Then the farmer will be obliged to turn
to the tractor and other labor-saving
machines.
Just now he is still open to per-
suasion. In a few more weeks the
mere persuasion of words will not
count. It will be the persuasion Of con-
ditions which will compel him to adopt
power for farming.
In the mean time the dealers and
manufacturers who prepare themselves
for the business that is to be will BEN
eft by their foresight. Likewise, the
farmer and the country in general will
benefit. Anything the government can
do to insure the supply Of farm ma
chinery should not be left undone.-In-
element and Tractor Trade Journal.

B. r. T. Surplus
Shows Falling Off
Rising Prices of Labor and
Materials Cut Down
Gain in Gross

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany in the fiscal year ended June 30
last earned a surplus for its S74,520,0O0
capital stock outstanding of S5,l95,238,
the equivalent of 6.97 per cent, accord
ing to the annual report issued to-day.
In the year ended June 80, 1915, the
company earned 1853 per cent.
Gross revenue from operation was
500 ,504,O19, an increase of sl,555,247.
A rise of s1,O47,5O9 in operating ex-
penses was attributed by T. S. Williams
in the report to the same influences
which have prevailed generally through
out the country since the breaking out
of the European war-namely, the ris-
ing prices of labor and material" Most
of the increase represented higher
wages.
The percentage Of operating expense
TO TRANSFORMATION revenue was b6.74,
compared with 56.15 in 1916. The
charges for maintenance Of way and
structure and equipment aggregated
s5,001 ,637, a slight increase over the
preceding fiscal period. Deduction:
from last years operating income OF
S12,762 col, the report points out, were
swelled by the addition Of s442,SoS TO
interest on account of new rapid transit
properties placed in operation. Noting
that the surplus available for dividends
was less by s416,594 than in 1916, Mr.
Williams adds: $500.
am other words, out of an addition OF
81 .555,247 in gross operating income the
additional charges for taxes and in,
terest absorbed all Of this saving and
considerably more. Nevertheless, the
company was able to maintain Its dlvi-
dend rate Of 6 per cent and add sub
stantial amount to the systems sur
plus"
Mr.. Williams said that the operations
of the company's lines in conjunction
with those provided by the city under
the provisions of the contracts OF March
10. 1913, resulted for the year in earn,
ing not only the first preferential OF
$500, 900 (Which accrues under the
contracts to the operator and is appli'
cable to interest on obligations out
standing prior to the date Of the con-
tracts, and to dividends), but within
$3.50, 81 of interest at the rate of pei
cent on the cost of new properties
placed in operation since March 10
1913.
The number of stockholders Of the
company at the date of the closing Of
the books for dividends, in June, 1917
was 9,1S7, an increase of lac, as com
pared with the similar date of 1916.

dent disposition on the part of the
financial authorities at Washington
to postpone the next government loan
until November, Last month there
was a huge increase in the volume
of corporate financing, the aggregate
of new capital issues amounting to
S150,000,000, compared with $685.
100000 in June and s85,0O0,000 in
July, 1916. This was the largest total
for any month since the United
States entered the war and repre-
scented the accumulated demands for
capital from corporations which had
refrained from borrowing in defer
ence to the governments wishes. Of
the new issues brought out in July,
about so per cent consisted of notes.
July financing brought the total for
seven months to S1,165, 900, 900,
compared with s1,100,000,000 in the
corresponding period of 1916.

Resumption of gold imports from
Canada on British account is both
interesting and important at this
time. While the amount of the metal
that will be brought in on the new
movement will fall far short of the
s126, 100000 imported in May and
June, the fact that even a small
amount of gold Is being released to
this country indicates that the Brit
ish bankers realize the importance
Of keeping the money situation here
as easy as is possible. Last weeks
gold arrivals from Canada Of $l2,-
900 900 failed TO offset the outward
movement Of about $15,000,000, of
which Japan took s12,000,000 and
Spain about s2,3Oo,000. Japan has
imported more than s40,000,o00 in
gold from the United States since
June /, and since the beginning OF
the European war Withdrawals on
Japanese account have approached
$500. 900, 900. This is large figure,
but is quite insignificant when COM
pared with our total imports of gold
from all sources since January 1,
1915, which now aggregate approx
mately s1,675,0oo,0o0.
