New York CentraTs Heavy Declines
in \ef.

r. S. New York Central
earned a surplus Of 4,363,141 for
the eight months ended Aug. 81, or
at the indicated annual rate of a
little better than 10 per cent on the
stock, as compared with indicated
earnings during the same period in
1916. at the rate of better than IS
per cent on the stock.
New York Central Is handling by
far the biggest business in it's his

the eight months TO Sept. 1, against
1882. 100000 for the corresponding
periods Of 1916-but at a diminish

in net has amounted to over S10,-
100000. against a gain of slightly
mere than $7.6OO.OOO in gross. Net
earnings may continue to show de-

increasing operating costs.

American Smcltcrs and Excess
Profits Taxation.

d. 5. American Smelling *
Refining is showing earning results
Y hich must be regarded as entirely
satisfactory although they show
some decline as compared with
1916. For the six months ended
June 30. 1917. earnings were at the
annual rate of 24.94 per cent on the
common stock. as compared with an
indicated annual rate of 31.7S per
cent in the corresponding period of
1916. American Smelting's profits
come mainly from the smelling and
marketing of copper and other met
ais and it is therefore not directly
concerned in market prices for cop
per and the other metals prevailing
at different times. Earnings for tho
three years preceding the war, aver
aged an annual rate of more than
S per cent on the common stock.
and therefore American Smelling
will not be as badly hit by excess
profits taxation as some of the ac-
tual producers of copper which
could not show such a favorable pre-
war statement of earnings.

their schedules last week. There
were only 1--WE leagues without the
fold, the All Club. Federal, Temple.
United and West Side feagues The
latter had finished their regular
schedule the previous week. at the
close Of which three teams. Solomon
Stars. Burkus Brothers and Choka
Stars, were all tied for first place.
A roll off between the three clubs
was ordered by the officials OF the
league and the clubs finished in the
order above mentioned
One Of the most unique league
races was that Of the Federal.
where only one club, the Elks, fin
ished above the 500 mark in the
percentage column. The Elks also
won the honors during the first half
Of the season, an unprecedented
feat in the history of the organiza-
ton. They also won by the lowest
percentage of any club that ever
won a flag i'm the Elks temple in
any league in operation there and
there have been a good many battles
on those drives during the past
eight years.
Another interesting feature OF
the close is the -corEered tie

prizes for these places being divided
