AT NEW HIGH MARK
Income of $101, 360,971 Is
Gain of $18,943,5e5 Over
1928, Report Says.

The Pennsylvania Railroads net in
come for 1929, according to an official
statement received here yesterday,
reached a new. high record of S10i $780,
s71, an increase of $1S, ,595 over the
| 1928 figures. 1t was the fourth sue
lcessive year the company had achieved
new high record in net income.
The volume of business handled in
1929, while greater than that of 1928.
it was stated, was not as large as that
moved in the peak years of 1925 and
1926. 1.-The record-breaking net in
come earned last year" it was an
nounced, was the direct result of an
intensive program of efficiency and
economy in every phase of operations
and the heavy expenditures made in
recent years to improve and extend the
company's transportation property"
The net income earned in 1929 was
equivalent to 1854 per cent on the
S574756, 400 Of outstanding capital
stock, as compared with 1895 in the
previous year. The net income each
share of stock in 1929 $3.50 per valued
was 1882, as compared with $7.35 in
1928.
Dividends paid in 1929 amounted to
SAC. 1885,, 965, the largest yearly dividend
disbursement in the company's history,
and an increase OF S8,664, 343 over 1923.
The railway operating revenues for
1929 amounted to $682, 702 ,93l, an in
crease of $50, 1854 over the previous
year.
Freight revenue increased $25 ,602, 005,
but passenger revenues decreased ST.
500, JOG, rejecting. the company says,
the continued effect of motor vehicle
operations upon rail traffic. 1.-The per
cent of decrease in 1929" the company
says, was by far the lowest recorded
in the last three years, indicating the
probability that the company's rail
passenger business is becoming stabil-
lied"
Railway operating expenses showed
an advance of $12,978, 958, the increase
resulting largely from heavier trans
portation and maintenance expendi-
lures. While the railway operating
revenues increased 40 per cent, ex-
penses advanced only 81 per cent.
Incorporating income, chiefly divi-
dends on stock owned and interest on
investments, totaled SAB, 791 ,499, an in
crease of $4,255,841.

Trade reviews of the week end note
a marked betterment in number of
lines with the advent of warm weather.
Shipment Of materials and supplies for
use in the coming open season have
been increased substantially, trade in
lighter weight goods has been enlivened
and Spring work has received consider
able impetus. The general industrial
and trade situation continues to reveal
reduced movement, but gives promise of
better progress, especially in outdoor
operations.
Bank clearings for the week ended
February 20, continue sharply below a
year ago. Total clearings in the princi-
pal cities of the country amounted to
$11 1874, 754 900, an increase of 28.8 per
cent over last week, which included a
holiday, but a decrease of 20.5 per cent

Coal.
Benefiting from a high level of in
dustrial activity, the bituminous coal
industry experienced moderate earnings
improvement in 1929 Evidence on
hand indicates, however, that not only
will this profits increase be checked
during the initial quarter Of 1880, but
that returns are unlikely to reach those
of the like months of last year. AS a
result of the less satisfactory general
business conditions prevailing, demand
from industrial consumers of coal is
suffering curtailment. Production, on
the other hand, is being maintained at
substantial rate, which suggests the
possibility of accumulation of excessive
stocks. The statistical position of the
market has already weakened sufficient
ly to check seasonal price improvement
and prospects are that the Spring re-

EMBASSY THEATER

Busy as he was with all the de- tails of the gigantic south pole expe- dition on his shoulders, Rear Ad- miral Rich1rd E. Byrd. whose achievement in circling the south pole by airplane and exploring the ice covered territory at "the bot tom of the world"- has stirred a worldwide acclaim, was never too preoccupied to take note of the in- teresting human-interest sights which occurred during the stay of the expedition in the Antarctic. \ Willard Wander Veer Paramount cameraman with the expedition says the intrepid leader was indefa- tigable in calling the attention of himself and his co-worker, Joseph Fucker, to interesting incidents he ran across; a battle between seal and sledge dog puppies; roundup of the solemn penquins whose in- suited dignity made one of the fun niest scenes in the entire film record brought to the United States by Paramount: the entire personnel lined up, including the admiral him. self, each man shaving the head of 'the man in front of him in prepara- ton for the long winter night.
 These are only few of the heart fly humorous incidents in the master picture, With Byrd at the South Pole" which will show at the En- bassy theater, starting Saturday for four days. The film is filled with the romantic heroism, the homely humor the daring feats and the awe-inspiring wonder of Byrd's gi- gantic undertaking. From the mo- ment. the expedition landed in Little America until the final trek for home, the moving picture document shows the hardships, the amuse- ments, the drama and romance of the 42 men who braved the periIs of the unknown.
