Rail Securities
Held by Public
Koads, However, Have Put

f United Stati-
H of the public $16,00.'l,000,000, or in
other words, the public has invested
A$ 16.000,000,000 in American railway
i.roperties. It is no wonder, there.
fore, that the public teels vitally in
t. terested in the railwiy situation and
earnestly hopes that the recent
undertaking to fund some of the rail-
road obligations to the government
will be successful.
' Nine and one-half billions of the
total capitalization of the American
railroads are represented by bonds.
Six and one-half billions are repre
sented by capital stock. The owners
of the American railroads have there
fore nearly $7,000,000,000 of equity.
But this is not all. "lb railways of
the United States have, out of their
own earnings and fresh capital, in
vested approximately $20,000,000,000
in these properties. This money was
taken out of earnings before dividend
payments were made. It was used
for equipment, for. improvemcnst
and for the enlarging of terminal fa
cilities. Therefore, the railroads of
the United States as a whole have,
out of earnings, put approximately
$4,000,000,000 more into the proper-
lies tnan tne combined bond and
stock capitalization.
Wise Investment.
The ablest railway constructive forces
in me united states always looked upon
1t as a wise investment of some part of
the earnings, If they were turned back
Into the property. In the early days of
railroad development when Commodore
Vanderbllt was recounted as the leader,
he set the example of putting some part
of the earnings back Into the properties.
This was the policy followed by President
Thompson of the Pennsylvania. He was
the first to equip a railroad In the United
States with steel rails, and It has always
been the assumption that payment for
these rails were taken out of earnings.
B. H. Harrlman always favored putting
tome part of the earnings back Into the
railroad properties. He was assured that
this was a wise Investment, for it not only
ncreaaed the value of the properties, but
ras certain to Increase profitable traffic.
The Big Four Railroad company some
rears ago put back Into the properties a
large slice of the earnings. It was a wise
Investment and Its value was recognised
In tho appreciated market vaue of the
itock. Perhaps the best example of the
Mccess which follows wise utilization of a
fiart and at times of all of the net earn
ngs was furnished by the Lake Shore
Railroad company. Many millions were
put Into Improvements. Grades were
kllmlnated as far as possible and long
tangents secured. The road bed became a
siodel. And so great was the improve
ment In this railroad property due largely
to the placing of earnings Into the prop
erties that In the early years of the pres
ent century It was fpund possible to
finance the securities on the basts of 3!4
er cent.
Cost 20,000,0O0,0O0.
The railroads of the United States,
therefore, at the time the. government In
war days took them over, represented an
expenditure of 120,000,000,000 In improv
ing and as far as possible perfecting the
vrinti nvxtems. But the bonded indebt
edness of the American railroads as a
whole Is a little under $10,000,000,000.
Therefore the railways of the United
States are mortgaged, for only one lalf of
the total cost of improvement. Of course
It should be borne in mind that soms of
the funds obtained by the sole of bonds
. and itock also represent railroad lmprove
.'nent. Mr. Lee calls attention to the fact
that It Is rather' a coincidence that tne
amount of the funded debt and the book
cost of the American railroads corre
sponds with the estimate made by those
who lend money upon mortgage of real
state as to what constitutes a high-grade
first mortgage.
Is There Watered Stock
Some years ago a statement, afterwards
reputed, was made publicly that a large
amount of the mpltal stock of the" South
ern Pacific Railroad company was pure
water. So also charges have been maae
that other railroad stock was
One of the first of the-e accusations was
hurled at Commodore Vanderbllt t t"
time when he caused a stock dividend,
Equivalent to the capital .lock as that
was before the dividend to be d edared.
So it was frequently said h' Nw.Jr
Central svstem contained at least-60 per
cent of water In its capital tock.
But excellent demonstration was made
of the reasons why a dividend of this
kind was declared. The New York cen
tral systsm had been greatly Improved.
Many million, had been taken ou ; Ql
earnings In order to perfect the P'OP
Commodore Vanderbllt for a long . time
would not permit any bonds to be lu?
He thought that the earnings would be
Sufficient to provide for Improvement

Continued liquidation after the first

Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, 111., July 25. After ruling
easy most of the day, wheat devel
oped strength, which carried prices
to above the previous finish and
resting spots were at highest points.
Reports that wheat bought by Bel
gium in Australia is being received
out of condition and that exporters
were in the local market, but unable
to secure their requirements, were
dominating factors in the late ad
vance. Short covering was exten
sive and the commission house de
mand of good class. Closing prices
were 11 l-2c higher on wheat and
3-85-8c higher on corn. Oats failed
to follow the advance in wheat and
the finish was at losses of 3-85-8c.
Rye was irregular, July ruling lc
lower and September l-2c higher.
.Provisions were lower, rinal ship
ping sales were reported at 25,000
bushels wheat, 775,000 bushels corn,
including 750,000 bushels to export
ers and 120,000 bushels oats. Sea
board reported 600,000 bushels wheat
sold for export in all positions.
The undertone of wheat was easy, "The
enormous receipts locally as well as In
the southwest and constant hedging sales
In the pit counted strongly In making the
trend of values a lower one. Opening
was mot with a general rush to sell, but
on the break a 'better demand developed
and the market recovered all of the loss
sustained, only to meet with Increased
pressure and a setback. Prospects were
for a big increase in the visible supply.
Chicago arrivals were estimated at 1,800
cars, Kansas City was In receipts of 1,683
cars, while St. Louis and Omaha received
692 cars and 617 cars, respectively. There
wore good bids in the local market from
exporting sources and Indications pointed
to liberal acceptances. Seaboard reported
sales of 300,000 bushels for export. De
liveries on July contracts amounted to
88,000 bushels.
Damage In Canada,
A crop authority traveling through Can
ada sent In advices to the effect that,
although he had seen but a small portion
of the Canadian wheat belt, he had wit
nessed enough to satisfy himself that tho
crop would not be a bumper one, as
damage from heat and rust has been
serious, and In soms instances an almost
complete failure was noted. Liverpool fu
tures closed IVJd lower.
There was a fairly good trade In evi
dence in corn. Prices averaged lower,
yielding to general commission house sell
ing, based on rains In Iowa and the easier
tendency In wheat values. Fair support
was afforded the market on the dip bv
local Interests, market making a partial
recovery. Deliveries on July contracts
were 76,000 bushels. Cash market was
easier, with the basis being lowered to
the extent of e. Domestic Inquiry was
moderate. Receipts were liberal, the es
timate being placed at 360 cars.
Oats ruled lower during the fore part
of the session, more In sympathy with
other grains than any Inherent weakness
In Its own tone. Reports from the country
continued to tell of disappointing yields
of new lightweight oats. On the other
hand there seems to have sprung up a
rather active inquiry for old oats. Cash
oats started ie lower and basis easier.
Cash rye close 202ttc lower. No.
$1200124 ,ll25,4U,tt; No- 3 so,d at
Pit Notes.
Some huylng of futures In wheat was
Induced by a cable In regard to the con
dition of Australian wheat arriving In
Belgium. It was stated that Belgium had
contracted for 3,000,000 bushels Australian
wheat, and that what had arrived so far
had been found unfit for milling.
Leeount wires Stein-Alstein from Moose
Jaw, Sask.;
"Wheat and oats from Esievan here
are generally heavy, but wheat has been
more or less damaged by heat and is not
filling well for a bumper crop, though a
good average crop Is in sight. The heads
are generally only filling two kernals in
a mesh where there should be three.
Lots of red rust and some black rust.
Need two weeks more sunshine to mature
and there Is yet plenty of time for heavy
losses from black rust. There will be
some damage, but I believe losses will
be confined principally to late wheat.
Showers today."
Illinois Selling Wheat.
Southern Illinois advices indicate the
movement of wheat will be over in an
other week. Advices to the same effect
have been received from points in north
oentral Missouri.
Deliveries on July contracts were 88,000
bushels wheat, 76,000 bushels corn, 6,000
bushels oats and 20,009 bushsls barley.
Lard deliveries were 1,060,000 pounds.
Broomhall estimates European grain
crops, excluding Russia, at 120.000,000
bushels more than was raised last year.
He states, howjir, that Imports of grain
will be about the same as the previous
year, 660.ooo.ooo to 600,000,000 busnels.
Leeount, the Stein Alstein expert, says
that much of the late wheat In Canada,
which is extremely heavy, is being hurt
by premature ripening. Fields that prom
ised 80 bushels will not make over 18
bushels. In the extremely late wheat
there Is a possibility of much damage from
black rust.
The seaboard continues to buy corn
futures on a fair seals. Limits were about
!ic easier on both corn and oats In the
early cash trade. Receipts of oats were
a little too heavy for the demand.

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, July 25. The recovery
in stock market prices which began
early last week continued today in
the same quiet and orderly manner
as on preceding days. There was
nothing that could be described as
of a buoyant character, but there was
a steady tone in evidence at all times
even though there was some profit
taking to be absorbed. The market
has undoubtedly passed the point
where all the rise can be attributed
to purchasing for the retirement of
short contracts. There has been
some buying for long account al
though of no wide proportions. This,
however, does not necessarily mean
that there is a public interest accumu
lating. Such, of course, could be the
case but it is unlikely. On the sur
face, at any. rate, there is little to
indicate other than professional op
erations. In some respects today's display waa
noteworthy. For one thing the Indus
trials Buch as the tobaccos and the rub
ber stocks, were in greater demand. Indi
cating, perhaps, that the stock market Is
beginning to take account of the better
ment which Is bemg predicted in certain
avenues of trade. There Is no doubt that
sentiment had Improved to a decided de
gree recently, but whether It Is of a last
ing sort remains to be seen. At all
events, the suspension of a large stock
exchange house today did not cause any
permanent check on the rise of prices.
The rail Issues were firm, apparently
having discounted the favorable news with
relation to the refunding plan. -
The bond market proportionately was
more active today than the stock market.
There was an increase In the turnover of
corporation Issues, which fell Just short
of the $4,000,000 mark. It was a for
ward price trend that prevailed through
out the day.-
In the foreign ' exchange market there
was another display of weakness. Ster
ling dropped to $3.56 and closed at
$3.66, a los of la for the day. Ex.
change moved against Paris. Amsterdam,
Berlin and Madrid, but lira recovered
moderately. .
