ICE STILL THICK IN INLET
ANCORAGE, April 12-- The channel is clear ano the first steamer can discharge freight here upon arrival

The above is the telegraphic advice received from Anchorage this morning. Two who left Kenia last Tuesday morning claim that the inlet winot be clear of ice sufficiently to allow steamers going to Anchorage for week or possibly two weeks Last Monday night the thermometer was degrees below at Kea and the inlet was packed with ice shore to shore from 10 to fte en feet thick So far only two little light draft gas boats have been able reach Kena and they skred the shore where the ice had broken away by the tide.
 Ice is also thick and jammed at the Forelands and has not moved unless the extreme high tide of last night and today broke up s stated that if the ice has brok en- it would take Kansas hurricane to it out of the inlet.

Interroad Accounting.

How this interroad accounting works
is well illustrated by an example men
toned by this man. 1.-THE Pennsylvania
Railroad system, let us say, running to
Washington" he said. connects there
with the Southern Railway. the Atlantic
Coast Line. the Seaboard Air Line and
others. over which In the discretion of
the Government control through tickets
south are sold and through freight Is
routed. Each month the road originat-
ing the traffic prepares and sends to its
connecting line TO which 1t has delivered
business a statement OF the amount due
to 1t from the business on the proper pro
rata basis. In the following month the
connecting line which receives the busi-
ness checks up the figures and returns
the statement to. say. the Pennsylvania.
which In the next month pays over TO
the Atlantic Coast Line, the Seaboard
Air Line or the Southern Railway the
amount of their net traffic balance for
the third month before. which is the
first time when the line which delivers
out the traffic actually gets any OF the
earnings from 1t into its own hands. At
the end OF each month since the traffic
was carried these earnings have been
covered In the balance sheet items of
'traffio balance due and traffic balance
payable which balance sheet Is not
regularly available for the information
OF stockholders. except once year. and
which items have no connection what
ever with the income account"

Marines Unusual Behavior.

1t may be only a market coincidence
that the shipping stocks should move
forward together. but the activity OF
Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies, the
Marines and American International
Corporation, which owns important
holdings in shipping corpora lions. has
created some comment as to the rea-
sons for the concerted market move
ment. The character of the recent Ma
rine buying is decidedly different from
that of former occasions, and while
the spectacular method usually accom-
panyings Marine operations Is lacking
the price of both the common and pre-
ferred are steadily creeping upward.
This has confused the speculative ele-
ment. which has been waiting for the
customary signs of pool work, and not
being able to read this from the tape
the majority of traders have left 1t
alone or taken a position on the short
side. In circles well situated to
know something of the facts It is said
that the buying in the past few weeks
has been for important interests and
that it is quite probable that there will
be no further evidence OF pool opera
tons in the Marines.

Atlantic ulf.

Among the shipping stocks. which
were the most active of any group in
yesterdays trading Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies was prominent. at ono time
selling six points above the previous
days low figure. Persistent buying of
AGW in recent weeks has been reported
for the account OF the interests asso-
ciated with the plan for an American
shipping combination. but in Atlantic
Cuffs case the company's earnings are
so good that doubtless some buying is
predicated on this phase alone. Earn
ings in the first six months OF this year
indicate that the full years result will
be equal to the 1917 figures. which
showed $50 a share on the stock. after
allowance for heavier taxes in 1918.
In addition 1t is reported by a man in
touch with the situation that Atlantic
Cuffs cash. including Liberty bonds, ag-
gregates nearly s2o.000.0 900. or sufficient
to meet the preferred stock and all
bonded Indebtedness Of the parent COM

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
sim I'm Investment stage.

Though. dulness continues to mark
Stock Exchange trading, there are a
few signs Of underlying strength, as yes
terday's session demonstrated. for the
few issues which reached new high fig
ures for the movement held some of
their gains despite evident profit taking.
This may be because the market was 30
greatly oversold. though a number of
important houses say that the real ex-
PLANTATION Ia that those who are buying
for cash are willing to raise their pur-
chase limits as they see the market
gradually advancing and holding the ad-
vance fairly well. This class OF buyers
Is not worried over eighths, and what
stocks they acquire are carried out OF
the Street, which Is very satisfactory to
the bankers and important brokers. 1t
may be true that margin trading is at
its lowest In many years. but II Is also
a fact that investment buying for cash
has never been as large as at present.

A railroad man explains why the Au-
gus returns OF railroads will make a
marked Improvement on July and June
figures as dde to the fact that the full
effect Of the higher rates will show in
August. while the July and June state
ments reflected the increased wages OF
employees. He also points out that the
advance in railroad rates has so far
been reflected In increase of the earnings
merely on that part OF the business Of
the roads which Is actually originated
on their own lines. There has been no
final accounting In revenues on that large
part OF the earnings that result from
traffic that Is routed over other connect
ing lines, but August returns will include
these figures.
