L. & N. to Issue Bonds
Earnings for 1913 Equal $3.50
a Share

Arrangements have been made by
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company to issue shortly S7,323, 900
series "B" equipment trust bonds, to
bear interest at rate not exceeding 6
per cent. This information was set
forth in the full text of the annual
report reaching the financial district
yesterday. The income account was
printed earlier in the week in dis
patches from Louisville.
The equipment trust bonds are to
mature in equal semi-annual install
ments over period 'of fifteen years.
1t was further explained that this bor-
rowing was made necessary by reason
OF the heavy allotments of equipment
by the Director General of Railroads,
these amounting, together with orders
placed by the company, to S12,398 445.
Total advances from the Railroad
Administration on account of annual
compensation to December 81 last
were only $3OOO,OO0. 1t was only the
large cash balances carried CT De-
cember 81. 1917, the report stated,
that enabled the company to get
through 1918 without offering securi-
ties.
Louisville & Nashville's net income
last year after charges and taxes,
amounting to $11,019,356, was equiv
alent to $3.50 share on the S72, ,0OO.-
600 outstanding stock, compared with
S22.86 share earned in 1917. The
rental fixed for government operation
OF the system was $17,31O, ,494

Heavy Slump in
Railway Income
Government Suffers Loss Of
S37 100000 in Meeting Feb
ruary Rental Guarantee

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The gov
ernments net operating income from
the railroads IN February, as shown by
the advance figures from reports to the
Interstate Commerce Commission, was
slightly above S1O,OO0,0OO the lowest
in a number of years and $2,225,000
below the income last year, which was
probably the worst February, from an
operating standpoint, in railroad his.
tory.
While the freight traffic fell off IS u
per cent. as compared with last year,
higher rates ran the total operating
revenues up to $3.50, ,844 900, an increase
of 21 per cent, but the great increase
in the cost of labor and materials
raised expenses under q smaller volume
of traffic by "a per cent, to 1923 ,235, ,000
This left a net revenue of S27,6O9,O00,
q decrease of per cent, and net op
Grating income of S10,0l5,0OO de-
crease of IA per cent.
This net operating income Of $10,-
100000 compares with the February
standard return in the three-year test
period on which the government rental
is based of S47,000,000 The govern
fore, $37 100000 In January the deficit
was 100000, making the deficit for
the two months S73,O00,000.
Comparing the two months income
with the average rental of $4,000, 900
a month, there is deficit in the earned
rental of S121 ,000,000 bringing the to-
tai deficit for fourteen months of gov
ernment operation to S325, ,00O,00

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Rising strength of sterling exchange
rates in this market again yesterday
led to the circulation of fresh reports
that the British Treasury planned to
resume the support of the sterling
market abandoned fortnight ago. The
bankers who are in q position to know
what is happening in sterling said
there had been no change in the situa-
tion so far as they were concerned.
Sterling cables got up to S5691a yes
terday, compared with a rate of S4.65A
the day before, but closed under the
days high at $467A. Exchange brok-
ers say that huge short interest ex-
listed in sterling and that the covering
of this account has been the main in
iuence in bringing about the sharp
recovery. Sterling rates at the top
yesterday were within cents to the
pound of recent "peg" price.
French exchange continued under
pressure, while there was little more
than nominal market for Italian lire
bills.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with week ago, follow:

As a Broker Sees 1t
J. HoUsMAN, of A. A

Eousman e. Co., said yesterday:
Gas we come nearer to the time for
the signing of the peace treaty it be-
comes increasingly evident that sub
stantial business between enemy coun-
tries will be resumed earlier than has
generally been expected. We should
not lose sight of the fact that there
has been no such business for almost
five years. The world again will be
on a commercial, or give and take
basis, which means that the law of
supply and demand will be controlling
factor, and not price restrictions.
"This country, which produces almost
every kind of important foodstufP and
raw material in excess of it's needs, is
in a singularly fortunate position to
take advantage Of the business to be
done during the reconstruction period.
"Our security markets are discount
ing that condition, and look for fut-
ure strength therein unless prices move
ahead too fast.
"Such temporary weaknesses in prices
as have developed during the last few
days are helpful in a way, as they
strengthen the technical position and
provide opportunities to pick up stocks
discreetly.
The situation in copper deserves
close attention. The metal is one Of
the first of our important commodities
to show improvement following the rad
ical change in its position brought on
by the cessation of hostilties. In my
opinion, the shares of the standard
copper producing companies have sub
stantially discounted the effects of the
transition from war to a peace basis,
and arc in q position to move ahead
as the market demand for copper de-
velops."

Southern Pacific's Advance

Southern Pacifc's sensational advance
of 49s points to 1861 in yesterdays
stock market was accomplished TO
the accompaniment of reports that a
favorable decision is expected shortly
IN the government suit against the
company, alleging fraud in the acoui
sitlon of more than 100000 acres of
OIL lands ir California. This litiga-
ton IS distinct from the other SHIT
now before the United States Supreme
court involving smaller acreage of
OIL lands. The suit, in which a deci-
sion is anticipated in the near future.
is IN the United States District Court
IN California. Attorneys for the
southern Pacific said yesterday that
they had expected decision by April
l. but had as yet received no intima-
tion of what the courts verdict would
be. Even in the event of a favorable
decision they believe that the govern
ment will take the questions invol-e ed
to higher court and that it NAV be a
matter of several years before a final
decision is rendered. Estimates OF the
value of the lands involved in this lti
cation run all the way from $1OO 0O0.-
600 to $500,00000O The possibility
that some day these holdings may be
used as the basis for a melon cutting
IS what makes Southern Pacific a
highly speculative railroad issue. The
rise in the stock yesterday was ac-
companied by similar advance in the
cor'pany's per cent convertible
bonds.

More About Salt Water

The latest on the news of the ap-
pearance of salt water in some of the
oil wells in Mexico is the following
from "The Oil Trade Journal: "Salt
water made its appearance in two wells
in the Tepetate field Of Mexico in
March. One Of these is the island Oil
and Transport Company's gusher on Lot
8, rated at $4,000 barrels. According to
advices received from Mexico late in
the month, the Island company's off
cials reported the we'll to be making
212 per cent salt water. Other reports
placed the amount of salt water at
312 per cent Daily tests are being
made. The other we'll affected is the
Cortez Oil Corporations No. Sando-
val, rated at 1000 barrels, which has
been shut down. 1t is situated about
100 feet distant from the same COM
pany's No. 5, estimated at 100000 bar
rels. AS far as is known, these two
are the only wells affected in the Tepe-

Despite the confusion still exist
ing over the situation in steel price
fixing, stocks in yesterdays early
trading received good support.
Later in the day Southern Pacific,
with a volume of transactions of
$4,000 shares, exceeding even the
large purchases of Steel common,
advanced ia points, for reasons un-
known to the generality; but infer
ence vaguely connected the rise
with the company's oil lands. When
this advance had got we'll under
way the entire market became ac-
tive and strong. This demonstra-
ton was all the more remarkable
in the face Of the continued dis
couraging news from the peace con-
ference on the prospects of an early
settlement. The Tribune's average
price of thirty industrial stocks
reached a new high record for the
year.
