Operating income of the Erie rail.
road in January, as reported TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
makes a poor comparison with the
corresponding month in 1916. but not
because of a great falling off in traf-
fic receipts. The company handled a
big volume of business, in dollars
$135,542 less than in the preceding
year, but the cost of moving that
business was far heavier than a year
ago. transportation expenses, for in
stance, increasing a little more than
s.. 600. 900.
And the cost of maintaining equip
ment was heavier also. the total being
more than Sl.100. 900 in excess of that
of January. 1916. while maintenance
of way and structure expenses in
creased S4lS,000. After all deductions.
including taxes which were more than
twice as heavy as reported last year.
operating income was Sl56.Sl5. a de-
crease of SS62.l7S. Freight conges-
tion not only was reflected in smaller
freight earnings, but In increased ex-
penses as weIl.

NEWS FOR INVESTORS.
Excess Profit. Tax In Force.

NOECgs
The new excess profits taN> law.
now in operation, covers the period
since January l, 1917, since the meas
ure provides that the first taxable
year of the law shall be the year
ending December 81. 1917. Allowance
is made to corporations and partner
ships to fix their own fiscal year
and to base their tax from January 1,
1917. upon the net income of their
fiscal year. The tax on excess profits
tofore levied by the Federal Govern
ment.
The legislation calls for a tax on
the net profits OF all corporations,
joint stock companies and insurance
companies when those profits are
$1,000 or more. The tax is S per
cent, upon profits in excess of per
cent of the capitalization actually in
vested and used in business. In the
case of insurance companies income
empt. also on incomes of partnerships
derived from agriculture ana per
sonal service.
On foreign corporations and part
nerships the tax is only on income
received from sources within the
United States and on capital actually
employed here. Under the law actual
capital is defined as cash paid in. cash
value OF assets and surplus employed
in business. Returns filed under the
income tax law are to be used in
computing the excess profits tax
at the same time as the tax on in
comes. Corporations and partnerships
exempt from the income YAK are ex-
empt also from the excess profits

Sales of the American Tobacco Com
pany in January and February in
creased S2.2OO.OOO over the same two
months a year ago. Continuance OF
this rate of increase over the full
year would mean an increase in sales
in 1917 of better than $4,000. 900. and
would bring the strictly tobacco bust
ness of the American Tobacco Com
pany up to $50. 700. 900 this year. The
annual report OF the company for
1916 is to be issued next week and is
expected to show earnings in the
neighborhood of % per cent on the
S4O.2i2.4O common stock as compared
with 20 per cent in 1913.

Worlds Gold Production.

In 1916 the United States imported
more gold than the total worlds
production OF the metal. which the
Statist of London. estimates at more
than SiTS. 100000. Production last
year decreased about slO.OOO.O0O as
compared with 1915, the falling OF
being reported principally by Aus
tralia and the United States, which
was offset in part. however. by an
increase in the South African output.
The countries forming part of the
British empire contributed two-thirds
Of the total worlds production with
the mines of the United States pro-
ducing more than those OF any other
country excepting those in the Brit
