Railroad Surplus
To Be Converted
Into Capital Stock
Lackawanna Company Fol
low Example of New York
Central in Days of Com
modore Vanderbilt.
By HOLLAND.
For a long time the market quo
tations for the stock of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad
company1 have stood at the head of
the list. When other railroads'
stocks have shown depreciation in
the market quotations the stock of
this railroad company has been un
affected, or at least Only triflingly.
It has often been quoted far above
200 and the day after the announce
rnent that the company is permitted
t . t T . - . . -
ov ine jmcisiatc LOinmcrcf com
mission to convert a considerable
iart of its surplus into stock, which
is to be distributed to the stock
holders, the stock was Quoted at 219.
But only 400 shares were dealt in.
The position in which this railroad
company has for years found itselt
resembles that in which some of our
banks were placed. The Chemical
.National bank, whose capital at one
time was only $3,000 found its stock
quoted in the market at" several thou
sand dollars a share. That was be
' cause this bank for many years
turned s earnings over to the sur
plus account. Its stockholders' fully
supported such action although for
a long time they received no divi
dends. But they knew that the sur
plus was a part of their possessions.
Transfer Surplus Into Capital.
Another bank In the uptown district
added yearly lsrge amounts to ila sur
plus ana its capital was smaii it wan
ante to read In th market quotation
every )av that as much aa 14.000 to
Si.ooo had besn offered for each aliara
of the stork. In the cee of the Chemical
a difference policy was adopted aonie
rears ago whereby through enlargement
of the capital, made possible by the
utilisation of the eurpliis. tho market
quotations for the atock fell far below
the high figure which at on time thl
atock obtained.
Another of the national banks was able
to lncreaae Ita capital by $IO,OO0.OH0
by transferring surplus Into capital stock.
It haa not often happenod that a rail
road company haa been able to accumulate
ao large a aurplus aa to make it possible
to declare stock dividend which will in
crei.se the capital stock by 145.000,000.
The policy adopted by the Lackawanna
company after tt secured the Morris and
Kssox and other railroad corporations in
volved the building up of a large sur
plus. The company ettend-d Its system
across New Tork state to Buffalo, there
making convenient and advantageous
traffic arrangements by which tt was able
to operate through trains betwsen New
Tork and Chicago. In times of panto
this railroad company was not In any
distress for It possessed a large aurplus
and Its fixed Indebtedness was in such
shape that it was easy to handle.
Great Stock Dividend.
It Is Intimated that tho management
of thia railroad company contemplated
covering ita aurplus of many millions Into
stock several years ago and that the
situation created by the European war
caused tt to be deemed advisable to post
pone action of that kind. Now when the
.. railroad situation as a while Is even
more complicated and embarrassing than
It was during the war daya and certainly
mare perplexing than was the case in
the four or five years preceding tho out
break of tho European war, this rail
road company nevertheless finds It ex
pedient to convert some part of ita great
aurplus Into stock. It has received per
mission from the federal authorities to
take ou of tho aurplua t45.0OO.000
and convert that Into atock. Of course
that will enlarge the capital stock of the
company by these $45,000,000 and for
that reason will cause some falling off
in the market Quotations for the stock.
This stock has been so valuable and 1
the market prices for It so high that it
has gradually become what Is sometimes
called a silent stock. That Is to say much
the greater part of the stock has been
held for investment and a comparatively
small part of it has been available for
stock market transactions. Kxactly in
. what form this stook will be distributed
is tor the stockholders themselves to say.
They will have made up their minds upon
this point so that they will bo able early
In July to recommend and accept a plan
lor tho distribution.
VanderbUt's Croat Stroke.
Thia atock dividend Is greater than the
one declared by Commodore Vanderbilt
when president of the New Tork Central
and Hudson Klvor Railroad company near
ly SO years ago. Commodore Vanderbilt
was tho New Tork Central. In his pos
session and that of his family was nearly
all of tho stock. When he sought for ad
ditional funds with which to finance the
gceat improvements ho contemplated he
caused new Issues of stock to be made
and then ho bought that stock. Not until
a short time before his death was he
T.llllng that tho corporation shontd Issue
bonds and It was not until ho was told
that he could himself buy all tho bonds
that were Issues that ho was at last per
suaded to direct that there bo aa Issue of
bonds. ,
With a stroke of tho pen and without
any government Interference because at
' that time tho government did not claim
any right of supervision or of authority,
the commodore caused a stook d) rldend of
approximately 140.000,000 to br declared
and In that way doubled tho c Ital stock
of tho' company. These ' ,,000,000 of
stock made It possible for tt commodore
to co. mplato an increase of his wealth
by 106 per cent. When ho was criticised
for this Issue of stook he said that every
dollar of It represented increased value of
tho railroad property and he was correct
in that statement. ,
Until now the Increase of the capital
atock of a railroad company which Com
modoro Vanderbilt caused to be made was
ao far as hasty examination shows the
largest over made until now. , The Lack
awanna railroad company's increase is
forfjr.flve millions or a few millions more
than was tho New Tork Central increase.
There wis a difference, more apparent
than real In the case of the New Tork
Central tho Increased stock represented
vastlv appreciated values of the railroad
properties, rosdbeds. sir tracking ateel
rail equipment, very valuable terminal fa
cilities and tho lncreaae In the value of
the property due to tho railroad connec
tion over the Hudson at Albany. The
Lackawanna's stock Increase represents,
it ts true, wealth accumulated by - the
company but it la wealth in tho form of
surplus. -

Financial
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, April 28. In a singu
larly mixed surrounding of financial
incidents, with the Bank of England
rate reduced and a strong showing
by the federal reserve, the stock
market recovered in the lace of a 7
per cent Wall street call money rate
the highest since Tuesday of last
week. Two striking movements of
the week were the advance of rail
way shares on the stock exchange,
notwithstanding Wednesday's low
ered Pennsylvania dividend,.and the
rise of sterling above the year's pre
vious high level, notwithstanding decline-in
money rates at London and
higher call money at Xcw York.
The weekly federal reserve state
ment?, publication of which on
Thursday" instead of Saturday began
this week, showed notable strength
ening of position ever since last
week's close. The entire system re
ports gains of $19,500,000 in gold re
serves, accompanied by substantial
decrease in rediscounts and by
further reduction of $26,400,000 in
outsanding notes. i
The curtailment from ine nign marn n.
December now aggregates $574,800,000 or
not quite 17 per cent and these changes
for the week carry the system's reservo
ratio from 541. ver cent to 56, the highest
since August ot laid.
Tension Relaxing.
Reduction In the Bank of England's
official discount rate has always been a
matter of Importance, as portraying to
the feeling of the largest money center,
In regard to the money situation. The
tact that the 7 per cent rate which was
relinquished today the highest in half tt
century except for the similar rate of
1007 and 187S had been maintained for
a longer consecutive period than any high
rate in the bank's history, added em
phasis to the directors' actions. If today's
reduction is followed, as London seems
to expect, by further reductions later on,
it will amount to expression of the high
eat expert Judgment that the world-wide
money tension has definitely relaxed.
Tho Influence of financial sentiment of
these various striking announcements of
the day can hardly fail to be considerable
and in the long run the effoct is likely to
be stimulating. They occur at a time
when the $230,000,000 Burlington bond of
fering le about to provide a crucial test
of the investment position and when im
portant news is Impending from other
quarters. Qultg aside from what may oc
cur at Chicago and elsewhere in connec
tion with the railway complications, to
day's rise in exchange on London and
Paris at least reflects no dlscriuraga
ment over the Germany negotiations.

I Leading interests sold May and bought
July wheat freely early In the day at

, I board houses bought May ami sold July,
widening In May premium to SIJc.
trength in May toward the last was due
to voterts that 250.000, bushels are, to be
loaded out from here and that practically
all the stock here . has been sold to go
out. One boat Is to load 150,000' bushels
for Buffalo millers at once. This, with
the light receipts 26 cars and the con-
tinued excess showing or primary amp
raents over arri-als end large export
clearances, attracted unusual attention
at the last. Had tt not been for the
strength in May the July would have
closed lower as. pressure from eastern
traders was a -factor.
Corn was under pressure and had poor
support most of the day, but rallied after
declining over ' 2c and closed at 674
to 684 for May and 3 over that,
figure for July. May was under pressure
all day. longs selling while commission
houses and elevators Interest bought It
aud sold July.
Corn Eiports Light.
Local longs dumped their lines and a
the same time a liberal absorption was on
during the break. Export buslncsa was
light but domestic suleB Increased to
165.000 buslvels with charters for 75,000
bushels at 2c at Buffalo. Country of
ferings decreased on tho break. Arrivals
were 152 cars.
Not In th previous 31 years has so much
resecdlng of oats been reported as a re
sult of freezing temperatures, says the
Iowa Weather Crop Bulletin. This was
the basis for buying of oats by local trad
ers who sold out recently. Their pur
chases were without effect early, owing
to the weakness in wheat, but- counted a
little later.

Pitt Notes.
Shorts In May wheat are apparently
in bad. There is only 93,000 bushels con
tract wheat in store here. Unices prices
advance to a level where wheat can be
attracted from other markets the chances
for the shorts are poor. The Armour In
terests have had May wheat bought and
July, sold and for several das a hav sold
May and bought July. jiany iraoers
have sold May and bought July expect -
lng that It would weaken, but instead
cash prices here advanced while those ill
1 the soutnivesc declined.
1 Tarders are mixed on July wheat, many
regarding it as low enough and are
buying on breaUX while oats are selling
on all bulges. Selling today proved too
strong for the market to show much
strength. ' The one feature of the ex
port business is that it is apparently
easily satisfied.
E. A. Boerner of Stein. Alsteln &
Co., says: "A very depressing influence
that has weighed heavily on the market
and effectually checked a return of
optimism to the trade is the contemplated
legislative interference with grain ex
changes. Coming at a time when con
fidence is so mucl? neoded, it has c apped
the climax of a series of depressing in
fluences. While the big thinking, sincere
minded men of this country are working
with all .their might and main on the
creat problems of reconstruction that the
country faces as a result of the economic
i upheaval caused by the world war, re-
formers and theorists are seemingly at
work to make such an adjustment- to
normalcy as difficult as It possibly can
I be. To Interfere with the present sys-

New 'ork Coffee.
Xew York. April 28. The market for
t-olfee futures was easier today. Traders
found no special incentive in the Brazilian
cables but the European news was con
sidered less favorable, while there was
some further May liquidation and after
evening 2 to 4 points lower, active months
sold some 13 to 15 points bolow last night's
closing figures in the late trading. A good
part of the pressure seemed to come from
Wall street sources and was supposed to
represent liquidation. July sold oft to
5.980 and September to 6.37c with the
floss showing a net decline ot 13 to 17
points. May 5 0c; July 5 7o; September
