Southern Pacific
May Retain Its
Steamship Lines
objectionable Practices
Must, However, Be Cor
rected, Says |. c. c.

Washington, March 6.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission in decl-
sion handed down to-day indicated that
the Southern Pacific company may re-
tain possession of its steamship lines
between New York and New Orleans
and New York and Galveston If the
company correct within sixty days GER
tain Objectionable practices at present
in force.
The chief practice referred to as OBJ
iectionable is the method of billing
from New York to Galveston and re-
billing at Galveston to points west.
Under the Panama Canal law the
r, ilroad company would have TO dis
pose Of its steamers unless the com
mission found that railroad ownership
do not tend to reduce competition By
water and that such ownership was in
public interest.
The decision Of the commission
finds that the railroads control OF the
steamship lines does not tend TO re-
duce competition in this instance, but
that there is, on the contrary, active
competition for transcontinentsl freight
between the steamship lines and the
railroad lines of the Southern Pacific
THE correction of Objectionable
practices" the decision says, would
leave no basis Of record TO justify the
Withholding of the requisite finding.
under the act, that the existing service
of these steamship lines between New
York and New Orleans and New York
and Galveston is in the interest of the
public and of advantage TO the con
venience and commerce of the people.
"The case will be held open for Sky
days, during which time the petitioner
will have an opportunity to readjust
the practices in question so as to bring
the service into full conformity with
the provisions of the act 20 regulate
commerce as amended At the expira-
ton Of that time the commission will
determine what final action should be
taken"
The commission found that no com
petition existed in the case Of lines
operating between New Orleans and
Havana.

American Wooden
Company's Share
Of 1916 Prosperity
Net Profits Up so Per Cen,
and Orders on Hand
Total $52,OOO,000

With the volume of its business 40
per cent greater than in the preceding
year, the American Wooden Company
made net profits in 1916 of sS,2lO,76l,
an increase of s3,050,i67, or nearly SO
per cent. After the payment of pre-
ferred dividends and charging off 81
346.Sf8 for depreciation. there remained
a balance of S3,O63. s1S. equal to 1881
per cent on the s2O,OOO,O00 common
stock outstanding. In 1915 the surplus
for the common was equal to only Ga
per cent. and in 1918, the last full year
Of peace, there was a deficit, after pre-
ferred dividends and a depreciation
charge of S502,l06. amounting to 49,
979,79l. In 1914, when no depreciation
was charged. the deficit was S1l,39S.
The balance sheet Of December 81
last shows an increase in bank loans
and current accounts of S5,S93,760 to
S17,99O ,O06, while cash and accounts re-
ceivable total s2l, SO5. 9l3. against $751;
l26,159 a year before. Inventories in
creased s5,4Sl SOC to s23, 535,7sl.
In explanation Of these changes, Pres
ident Woods states that the extraordi-
rary rise in the cost of raw materials
and the large volume of business are
responsible for the increase in indebt-
edness. prices on WOOL" he continues.
"have increased from 30 TO 90 per cent
over the prices at the close Of 1915,
while in dyestuffs the rise has been
far greater Embargoes imposed by
foreign governments on the eXporta-
ton of wool, the universally keen de-
nand for wool and the increasing I'M
certainties and excessive rates of
transportation are factors which count
heavily in establishing the present
price of wool. However. the needs Of
the company for the coming season
have been anticipated by securing ad-
vance supplies"
The report states that the increase
in the volume of business was due more
TO the greater purchasing power of do
nestle consumers than to foreign de-
mand. Orders on hand at the end OF
the year totalled s52,OOO,O0O, against
$40, 550,000 a year before.
In furtherance of the development Of
its export trade the company has estab-
lshed selling representation in five
South American countries and in Cuba,
besides selling connections in many
other foreign markets.

Treasurer T. W. McGarry said it was

According to Edward Brown, treas

results of its refundings have been i'm

seems to have been reluctance on the
part of the holders of Manitoba's Sc

them. So far S3,100,000 of Manitoba's

Great Northern Ore Deal.-lnterests
associated with the Hill railroads ad-
mitted yesterday that negotiations for
the leasing Of mines owned by the
Great Northern Ore Properties have
been under way FOR some time. They
refused TO confirm, but did not deny,
the reports that the Inland Steel Com
pany and the Jones e. Lsughlin Steel
Company had taken over important
leases.
Reports from st. Paul stated that
the leases would involve total Of

doubtedly be subject TO modification.

mines and other factors, such as con-
tent of iron ore, which cannot now be
definitely determined.
In the United States Steel Corpora
tons ore lease with the Hill proper
ties, abandoned on January l, 1915,
payments were much smaller than the
sums said TO be involved in the two
new leases. The Steel Corporations
contract called for the mining of a
minimum of 100000 tons in 1907. with
yearly increase of 100000 tons, so
that this year the amount TO be mined
would have been s,250,000 tons, at
which maximum figure it was to re-
main until exhaustion of the mines.
When the lease was abandoned ap-
proximately 100000 tons had been
mined, and royalties TO the Great

Transactions on the New York
Stock Exchange yesterday totalled
$4,000 shares, the largest reported
for any session since February 5,
when the market was still fluctuat-
ing excitedly as a result of the
launching of Germany's submarine
campaign. There was nothing in the
news to account for the increased
activity, accompanied by a further
rise of prices, but confidence seems
70 be spreading. While the market
is still mostly professional, outside
participation is becoming a large
factor. Several brokers report in
creased commitments Of that char
acter; one stated that more outside
orders were received than in any
other day during the last month.
Wall Street finds encouragement in
that; but it is not without misgiv-
ings regarding the rise in the last
three days. Some believe that stocks
have been moving upward too fast.
II is feared that the market is get
ting in a position where any i'm
portant adverse news might cause a
break Of considerable proportions.
The rail issues are still inactive.
Yesterday they contributed less than
10 per cent TO the total transactions.

months. Some mixed money is going
at 3s4 per cent for ninety days, while
the rate for four months is per cent,
and to Az per cent for five and six

banks has more than counterbalanced a
slightly increased demand for accom-
mediation, due to the revival of activity
in the stock market.
The point was made yesterday that
the failure TO pass the bill amending
the Federal Reserve act before the
close of the last session of Congress
will cause the money market to breathe
easier for a spell. in that it will not
have to concern itself about an imme-
date shifting of reserves by the mem
Der banks and concentration OF gold

there is an extra session of Congress
and the bill is enacted there will be no

proposed amendment would have called
for an immediate execution Of this pro
vision, and the withdrawal Of bank bal

have been reflected TO some extent IN
the money markets.

When the necessity of emergency
measures is past and weather con-
ditions become favorable, further
Improvement in net is not improb-
able, especially as there is every
prospect that the volume of traffic
will tax facilities for long time to
come. Such a prediction must be
qualified. however, by The consldera-
ton that the assumption by this
country of an active part in the Eu-
ropean war might for a time have
a demoralizing effect on railroad
operations. while the upholding Of
the so-called eight-hour law, the de-
cision on which will probably be an
nounced next week, would also cut
into net. Even that would not be very
serious, with earnings running so
large as they are now. The loss, If
it comes and is not compensated by
the granting of higher rates, will be-
come burdensome only when the in
evitable curtailment Of the volume
of traffic is met. That may be long
deferred, but it is sure to happen
sooner or later. Until then pros
perity seems assured for the rail
roads.
