NEW HAVEN ROAD
 SITUATION AT PRESENT.
The Wall Street Journal Comments on
 Railroads Finances.

On the New Haven road situation the Wall Street Journal prints the fol- lowing:
 The New York. New Haven and Hartford has gained in public esteem through the ability of President Elliott to quiet antagonisms. This is real gain for the road, though one not inn mediately reflected in market prices.
 New England transportation is suf- feFing from higher expense and car hire costs. Some day, however. the price of steel, copper and coal will come down.
 At present there is little hope in this direction, though net earnings this winter should be a million dollars ahead of last winter.
 It should not be forgotten that the New York with an unmortgaged line capable in ordinary times of carrying a mortgage indebtedness at low rate of. $200, 900, 900. The road should be easily able to renew its floating debt and take up its quota of interest about to begin on the S27, ,000, 900 connecting railroad, which will link into partner ship the New Haven and the Penn sylyania systems.
 What is needed now is a little com- mon sense on the part of the Massa- chusetts legislature, which ought to be able to get away from MT. Brandeis and his destructive influences and grant the New Haven a credit to fund ors and the travelling and shipping public.
 It should be left to the United States government to continue the robbery of the New Haven stockhold% CTS by forcing sales of its steamship lines and allied properties at unnec- essary sacrifices.
 The New Haven had to pay about $300,000 for a state valuation that showed an undercapitalizationf of 5 100 900. 900. It is having to pay hun dreds of thousands more for federal valuation which cannot mark down the roadbed, lands or plant, but can write of this more than $100, ,O00, 900 surplus by lower appraisaIs of steam ships, trolleys and the Boston and Maine
