NORFOLK, Va, April 7.-Despite
increases IN outlays for wages, gen.
eral operating expenses and repairs,
the Virginian Railway reported yester-
day net income for 1887 of s7,o06,-
781, compared with s6,45l ,699 in 1896.
The figure was almost double the net
income four years ago.
The annual report showed an in
crease in operating expenses from
$7,865,8l9 the previous year to So
060,040 in 1887. and a Jump in in-
vestments in other property" from s3,-
1,0G7 to s7,119,065, resulting from
the absorption of the Virginian &
Western Railway and the West Vir-
ginia and the Virginia Terminal Rail-
way at Sewalls Point by the Virginian,
which was their sole owner.
President Carl Bucholtz called at
tention to repairs to 1919 coal cars
during the year, a part of a five-year
program authorized by the Interstate
Commerce Commission that resulted
in placing in service, as of December
81, 1887. of 3,298 cars at a total cost
of s3,271.837.
Wage increases to train service en-
ployes became effective last October
and 10 other employees August |.

MEXICAN TARIFFS
Exports Across Rio Grande
in February Nearly
Equal Year Ago.
Bv the Associated Press,

The Commerce Department said
yesterday the stiff new Mexican tar
ifs had little effect on United States
merchandise exports to this country's
next-door southern neighbor in Feb
ruary.
Shipments to Mexico in the month
amounted to s7,089, 900, compared with
S7,877,000 in the same month last
year. Experts said, however, that a
large quantity of goods was shipped
to Mexico in February under contracts
made before the tariff increase be-
came effective on January 20 and Was
assessed the old duties.
The real effect Of the tariffs prob
ably will show up in the March fig-
ures which will be available month
from now. they said Shipments to
Mexico are expected to pick up again
after May /, when somewhat lower
scale of duties is planned.
The February report showed that
the United States sold more goods in
nearly every part OF the world this
February than a year ago but cur
tailed its purchases in every part OF
the world.
February exports this year and last
year by geographic divisions and prin-
Cipal countries were.

AUTO MEN EXPECT
UPTURN IN MONTH
One or Two Plants Closed
to Readjust Activities.
Stocks Normal.
Ey the Associated Press.

DETROIT, April THE motor car
industry is operating at a level con-
siderably lower than has been It's
custom during the early months of
the year, but its production and distri-
button representatives generally con-
tinue to insist that an upturn is rea-
sonably expectable during the current
month.
AS is usually the case during periods
OF restricted production and distribu-
ton, rumors are current of possible
further curtailment of assembly line
activities, but so far as any manu-
facturer has disclosed there is no
present plan of complete suspension
in any major plant for any consider
able period.
One or two plants have suspended
for few days or even as much as q
week in readjusting production &C
tivities. Others, with output volume
closely in line with dealer demand,
have been operating on schedules
varying from two to five days a week
One Of the most significant Develop
mentS OF the hnal weeks OF the first
quarter of the year was the failure of
the expected upturn in demand to ap-
pear. This trend is contrary to
precedent in the motor car industry.
In actual unit output the first quar-
ter Of 1888 was nearly so per cent
behind the like period of last year
Wnen total assemblies were 1902 500
cars and trucks. Current stocks in
dealers hands are reported to be
about normal, in most instances, for
the present season.
Producers early in January decided
the years first quarter could not equal
that OF last year. Although disap-
pointed in their expectation of a size
able increase in demand during the
latter part Of March, they count upon
the showing of April and May to in
dicate what may be expected during
the remaindA of the wear
