$35,0O0,0DO PAID
BY UNITED FRUIT
Disbursements in Tropics
During 1885 Cited at
Annual Meeting.
BY the Associated Press.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., March 1s.-
United Fruit Co.'S disbursements in
the tropics during 1885 for wages, pur-
chased fruit and tropical taxes totaled
$35 800 900, Francis r. Hart, president,
told stockholders at the annual meet
ing today.
This amount distributed among the
nationals Of these tropical countries
serves three major purposes" he said.
1T materially contributes to govern
mental revenues, it has tendency to
stabilize their currencies and it in
creases the purchasing power Of the
individual"
The company, as previously reported,
had net income In 1885 Of $10,359, 900,
equivalent to 1884 a share on the
capital stock.
For capital expenditures In 1886 the
company has appropriated the sum of
$7.44s, 900.
Hart said that dislocation of markets
in continental Europe during the first
half of 1885 was "far-reachins, but it
may be said that conditions have I'M
proved and that many of the difficult
ties are by way of being solved"
AS regards the outlook for 1886, he
felt 1t was satisfactory. "as new plant
ings are coming into bearing and the
company expects to be able to take
care Of increasing demands for fruit
Of high grade without difficulty"

Suspended as Water Covers
Shipping Facilities.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, March 18.-Trad-
ing on both the live stock and produce
markets in Pittsburgh was suspended
today because of the floods.
In the live stock yards the loading
platform was under several feet of
water and many cars were partly COW
cred. At the exchange officials said
they had not ascertained whether any
cattle were drowned, but said the loss
would be heavy.
Tracks along the produce yards
were many feet under water and no
attempt was made to bring in any
food. What was stored on the tracks
was believed lost.
Exchange officials were watching
the situation, but could not say as
yet what effect it would have on
Pittsburgh's food supply.
