POWER FIRM PROFIT
Is WELL MAINTAINED
Revenues of Public Utility Com
panies Are Close to Figures
of Year Ago.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 3O.-Revenues of
public utility companies from the sale
Of electricity in the year to date have
held close to the 1881 level despite a
drastic decline in electric output, ac-
cording to figures made available by
the National Electric Light Association.
Analysis of the data reveals that heavy
declines in consumption of power for
industry and in other low-rate classifi-
cations have been nearly offset by an
actual increase in domestic consump-
ton. No section of the country has
been immune from the decline in cleo
trio output
In the first quarter the drop was
most severe in the central industrial
region, with decrease Of 1913 per cent.
This section, including the area from
Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati west
to st. Louis and Milwaukee, is the key
area in judging output, the total being
equal to the combined production In the
other three regions, New England, At
lantic Seaboard and Pacific Coast. Fig
ures for the South are not available in
detail. Other declines by regions for
the quarter were New England, 3.3 per
cent; Pacific Coast 8.8N per cent, and
Atlantic Seaboard, 80 per cent.
Figures for the first two months this
year show total revenues Of S341, ,1O6, 400
from the sale Of electricity, a decline
Of 81 per cent from the 1881 total of
1854, 149,200 This contrasts sharply
with the drop of about So per cent
in production for the same two months.

HUGE TOBACCO CROP
SEEN IN MARYLAND
Inspector Matthews Predicts One
of Largest Yields in His
tory of State.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, April 30.-One of the
largest tobacco crops in the history of
the State will be grown this year, ac-
cording to H. B. Matthews, chief IN
spector of tobacco at the State ware
houses. Mr.. Matthews pointed out that
while other agricultural crops are being
curtailed this year, because of over
production, tobacco growers are looking
forward to record crop.
Barring adverse weather conditions,
tobacco growers Of the State believe
the crop this year will be valued at
close to $1,000 900.
The crop sold during the 1892 sea-
son brought to the growers less than
$4,000,000, according to Mr.. Matthews.
The normal crop in the State is valued
at approximately 100000
The crop sold within the past year
represented tobacco grown during the
drought year of 1880. Leaf tobacco
must remain in the drying barns for a
year before it is packed in hogsheads
and shipped to the State warehouses
Great demand for Maryland tobacco
now comes from American cigarette
manufacturers, millions of pounds
going into this branch of tobacco trade.
The French government also buys mil
lions Of pounds of Maryland leaf every
year.

SEASONAL GAINS
IN FIFTH DISTRICT
Reserve Banks Review OF
March Shows Real Turn
Is Still Delayed.
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, April 30-The
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in
its monthly review of credit, business
and agricultural conditions in the fifth
district said today that seasonal i'm
provement was registered in some lines
in the district in March, but on the
whole the development was not up to
that of most years.
Continued boarding of currency was
indicated as of April 5, although the
volume of Federal Reserve notes in cir
culation decreased by about the usual
amount between March Is and April
Is. The volume was much larger on
the latter date than on the same date a
year ago, however.
RedtscountS at the Richmond Federal
Reserve for member banks declined be-
tween the middle of March and the
middle of April the third successive
year in which the early Spring move
ment of reserve bank credit has been
contrary to the seasonal trend eStab-
liShed in former years.
Bank Deposits Decline.
Deposits III reporting member banks
declined further, while at the same time
there was a decrease in outstanding
loans. Debts to individual accounts
figures during the five weeks ending
April Is were seaSonally larger than
during the preceding five weeks. but
nearly % per cent less than in the cor
responding period last year. probably
due chiefly to the sharp drop in income
tax payments this year as compared
with 1881.
Employment conditions were reported
to show no real improvement in March,
with less seasonal demand for workers
Coal production increased over Feb
ruary as result of unseaSonally cold
weather but was still less than March
last year.
The textile industry held its own. the
report said in comparison with Febru-
airy, and mills of the district consumed
more cotton than in March last year,
contrary to the national experience.
Building permits issued in leading
cities Of the district provided for only
little more than half the work pro-
cured for in March, 1881, permits, and
contract awards were also materially
below those of the corresponding month
last year.
Retail trade shown by department
store sales declined 17.3 per cent, de-
spite the fact that the factor of Easter
trade favored the 1882 period.
Wholesale Trade Better.
Wholesale trade showed a gain over
February, but fell behind 1881. De-
clines, however, were in line with de-
clines in prices, so that volume of trade
was estimated about the same
Winter and Spring weather, on the
whole, was favorable to grain crops
and farm work, though growth was
materially retarded by cold weather.
A marked reduction in acreage of
money crops was indicated, the report
said, as well as reduction in use of
commercial fertilizer.
In many cases, it was said, farmers
received so little cash for their crops
of the last two years that they are un-
able to finance their 1882 operations
on the usual scale, and they are conse-
quently being forced to reduce acreage
and the use of fertilizer.

The foreign list continued stagnant

on the announcement that the British
government will offer an unlimited
issue of per cent bonds to be sold by
tender at a minimum price of 9734 and
to mature annually by drawings. Pre-
