Hauling Coal Pays Well
Hooking Valley Railway Re-
ports Expanded Earnings

The Hooking Valley Railway Com
pany reported yesterday for 1917 oper-
atlng revenues Of $40, ,696,343, an in
crease of 30.44 per cent compared with
1916. Operating expenses were ST.
4o9,l22, an increase of SO per cent.
The net operating revenue aggregated
sa'2S7,3l1, an increase of 26.31 per cent.
Net income for the year, after all
charges, was S1,933, ,912, an increase of
40.53 per cent.
The larger earnings reported by the
company resulted to a considerable de-
gree from the heavy coal and coke tom
mage hauled over the road. The revenue
from coal and coke tonnage increased
14.9 per cent over 1916 and other tom.
mage 11.2 per cent, Increases in wages
of employees during the year increased
the cost of operation of the company
approximately S625,O00.

though American Shipbuilding gained

In d u S trials
Cotton

The cotton market was irregular
yesterday, rejecting the conflicting in
tiuence of favorable crop reports and
bullish spot advices. An early decline
on the former was followed by sharp
rally, but the demand was believed to
be chiefly in the way of covering and
advances were not fully maintained.
with the close barely steady, net Ia
points lower to points higher, July
contracts sold up, from 24.85 to 1851,
and closed at 25.35, compared with
25.29 on the previous day.
The market opened irregular at an
advance of IA points on May, but gem
orally II to 26 points lower, owing
to the favorable weather map. This
naturally strengthened the expectation
OF bearish weekly report from the
Weather Bureau to-day, and there was
good deal of Liverpool selling, which
may have been based upon an idea
that prices here were being sustained
by Mondays peace talk, which private
cables characterized as absolutely ire
sponslble. At net decline of about
80 to AZ points the market showed the
effects OF firmer technical position
ana covering became more active later.
october sold up n points from the
low level OF the morning and 33 points
net higher, but as soon as the de-
mand from shorts subsided the mar
ket turned easier again, with the close
showing reactions of some 25 or 80
points from the best.
Recent sellers were doubtless disap-
pointed by the character of spot ad-
vices. There was no selling around
the ring here which local brokers
thought a reflection of spot offerings
or hedging, and private reports
claimed that improved demand for
spots with the basis on hedged cot
ton hardening.
