Stock AVERAGES
By VICTOR EUBANK.
AssocAtsSPress Financial writer.

hSSCCh IcoS wal
NEW YORK. Nov 24-The stock
market ran into a tax scare today
after ankearly futile attempt at a
rally, and handful of leaders
tumbled TO points at the worst.
The list had been following do
nothing policy, with prices moder-
ately mixed, when boardrooms
learned that the President, at a
Warm Springs press conference,
had indi&ted some consideration
was being given the matter of taxes
to raise $oout s5OO,Ooo,Ooo for hoist
ing next TeaiSs defense program.
The Chief Executive, at the same
time, stressed nothing had been
decided and that the question was
up to the public and Congress as to
whether funds should be raised by
borrowing or on a pay -as-you-go"
basis.
While the tax bogey has been
among the market handicaps fire.
quently mentioned in Wall Street,
recent adminIstration comments had
tended 70 ave- fears of any drastic
raising imp6stS.
Although hter study of the Roose-
velt talk LEI to the belief of some
obserVersJNkt a business fright
hardly WaSiSalled for. the recent
lackadaisisSr performance of stocks
brought bat batch of offerings
which resulted in quick back down
of steels, ,nfHors and aircrafts. Other
groups WtTf far less unsettled and
mostly kept reversals to fractions.
In the sell-off, which came shortly
after noon, the ticker tape was never
pressed. Dealings soon returned to
their crawling pace and, at the close.
extreme declines were reduced in
many instances. In addition,
sprinkling of modest gains was in
evidence for special issues buoyed
by higher dividends and bright
earnings statements.
Transfers we're in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 shares.
Aside from the tax shivers"
speculative forces came back from
their holiday disinclined to talk
turkey" marketwise, but still trying
to find an answer to the question
of what's the matter with the
market" and why have securities
failed to follow the upsurge in busi-
ness and industry?
Chrysler was a weak spot
throughout, dropping points at
one time. Other prominent sliders
included General Motors, United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Douglas
Aircraft, North American Aviation,
United Aircraft and United States
Gypsum.
Cluett Peabody adged into new
high ground for the year on favor
able dividend action. Rubbers, mail
orders, coppers, rails, oils and
utilities kept more or less on an
even keel, the majority showing in
consequential minus signs.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24-Wheat prices

Helping to bolster values after the

Capital Transit Co.
Reports Earnings
Far Above 1888
$79,396 October Net
Compares With Only
$38,1o2 Year Ago
BY EDWARD c. STONE.


Net earnings of the Capital Transit
Co. in october scored a remarkable
advance, totaling $79,396 in COM
parison with $38,192 in October, 1888,
an increase of SAL ,204, according to
the monthly statement filed with the
Public Utilities Commission today.
Total net income in the first 10
months of 1899, the report stated,
amounted to $485,13l against only
$l93,l24 in the like 1888 period, MAX
ing gain so far this year of 1892 OFT.
Operating revenues in October
totaled $1,064,56l, compared with
$992,736 year ago; operating ex-
penses called for $713,738, against
$700,878 last year; taxes required
S99,831 vs., $4,000, and depreciation
took $l11,6l5, against $105,O94 in
October, 1888. Total operating ex-
penses, taxes and depreciation stood
1925, 1874, compared with $895,572 last
year.
Net operating income amounted
to S139,377, against $97,l64 Gross
totaled Sl40,525, compared with
$98,499. Interest on bonds and notes
called for $61 ,129, compared with
$60307 year ago.
Gross in the first 10 months of
1889 stood at ST ,097 1927 in comparison
with $793651 in the like period
year ago, the report stated
In connection with the Transit
report, j. E. Heberle, vice president
and controller, stated that the re-
port did not include any part of the
additional cost imposed by the re-
cent wage award made in Novem-
ber, too late to be reflected in the
October accounts.
The total cost of the wage in
creases has been estimated around
$300,000 per year, much of which
was made retroactive to July /,
1889. The back pay is now being
computed, but cannot be accurately
determined until about December Is,
Mr.. Heberle said.
Washington Gas Sales Climb.
Total sales of the Washington Gas
Light Co. i'll the first 10 months
of this year registered an important
advance over the like period year,
it was learned today. october sales
also revealed an increase over
October, 1898, gas output rejecting
the arrival of cooler weather.
In the 10 months sales totaled
9,482 .337 Mcf, in comparison with
8,839,028 Mcf in the comparable
1888 period, or a gain of 643, ,309
cubic feet so far this year.
Sales in october amounted to
850,460 Mcf, against 839,l20 in
October, 1888, or an increase for the
month of 11,340 cubic feet This
was a better upturn than the Sep
tember gain.
So far in 1889 sales have eX-
ceeded every month in 1888, with
the single exception of June, the
comparisons being as follows:

Transit Stockholders Plea

lcdSTu.
Many Capital Transit stockhold-
ers expressed pleasure today over
the declaration of a dividend of so
cents per share on the stock, an
nounced by President T. D. Merrill,
the disbursement to be made on
December 20 to stockholders of rec
ord December 5. The dividend is the
first paid in five years, 81 having
been distributed in December, 1884.
Now that dividends have been re-
sumed, stockholders are of the
opinion that some sort of payments
will be declared in every quarter in
1910, provided. that net earnings
continue to improve as they have
during the present year. There is
every indication that traffic will
hold up and perhaps increase dur
ing the coming II months.
The last sale of the stock on the
Washington Stock Exchange before
the dividend announcement was
made at Is. Coming sessions of the
exchange are being awaited with
great interest by shareholders, who
are anxious to see how much the
stock will reflect the resumption of
dividends.
Bond Maturities Considered.
At the same meeting of the
directors there was set aside in
special reserve for the retirement of
funded debt the sum of 100000 out
of undivided profits. Capital
~, 1c etot
which concluded as follows:
In declaring dividend of so
cents per share at this time the di-
rectors had in mind the necessity
for caring for bond maturities
beginning in 1947 and other require
ments for cash for requirements
and improvements to property as
we'll as the award of the Board of
Arbitration handed down November
S, 1889, which, with accompanying
adjustments in payments to those
not covered by the award requires
an increase in the operating eX-
penses of more than 100000 per
year. Earnings for the year 1899
will be sufficient to provide for the
setting aside of the reserve"
Payment of the 50-cent dividend
will require S120,000, same as the
amount set aside for retirement OF
funded debt, as there are 100000
shares of transit stock outstanding.
