fer held up hearings on reorganiza-
ton of the Portland Electric Power
Co. before bankruptcy referee yes

pendent trustees of the power COM
pany, who are seeking control of the

subsidiaries into the reorganization
proceedings, insisted that the bonds
were not in default at the time of

Portland Electric testified that in
terest on the bonds owed to the
trust company amounted to 80 per
cent of the principal on March /,

ment the trust company insisted
upon the immediate transfer. Grif-
fifth said he attempted unsuccessfully
to delay the transfer until after tsle

In Preceding Year
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 1.-Republlc
Steel Corp. reported a S6,772,593 net
profit in the booming fourth quar-
ter brought it 1889 earnings OF
$lO,671 343, against s9,044,147 in 1887
and a 1888 deficit of $7,997 1925. The
corporation earned $308,6l2 the last
quarter of 1888.
The 1899 earnings represented
$1.42 on each of 1888 ,065 common
shares outstanding and were 4.6 per
cent on total investment, Republic
said.
Republics 1899 showing came
largely as the result Of stimulated
domestic business" commented
Chairman Tom Girdler. There
has been some increase in export
business, but very little of it is
attributable to the war in Europe.
"Steel production during the last
quarter was at an abnormally high
rate, resulting in the purchase of
steel in excess of current require
ments. The drop in the first quar-
ter of 1910 has been due, in part,
to inventory adjustments. I see no
reason, at this time, why the gen.
eral average for the year should
not be at a satisfactory rate"
Provision for depreciation and
depletion for 1899 was S11,445,857,
against $lO,897 ,019 the previous year.
