with the Philadelphia 1'rotoctlvo Commit
tee over tho preferred stock of tho United

of tho complaints mado by holdets of

thev do not obtnln figures of tho earnings
of that property nlone, Instead of having
Its operations Included In tho Incomo ac
count of the Pittsburgh Hallways Com
pany. Tho flguro of 111,670,001 gross earn

bined earnings of tho Pittsburgh Kail
ways and United Traction. Operating ex

tho final surplus llgurcs for last year tho

curities sold and wroto off 14S.D16 deferred
nccounts. Tho Pittsburgh Hallways for
the year had a decrease in gross of $112,
765, or 0.95 per cent., while operating ex
penses wero less by $280,763, or 3.65 per
cent., resulting In an Increaso In net earn
ings of $107,079, or 4.32 per cent. Operating
ratio for the yenr wns 65.25 per cent, of
gross, as compared with 67.01 per cent. In
tho preceding years. In tho year $1,453,061
was expended for Improvements and bet

LONDON STOCK MARKET
LONDON, Mny 23. Thero was no fea-
turo to securities on tho stock exchaneu
today. Deallub'a wero small. In tho gilt-eiltfc-il
sections tho tone was hard. New
Colonial scrips advunced again on buy.
Inff by Investors. Hesitation was shown
in home rails, which wero dull and mixed.
South Africans were irregular but gen
erally higher. Canadians and South
American rails wero quiet. Foreigners
and mines did not show much activity,
but were tlrm.
Tho Great Central Hallway Company Is
preparing to issue 600,000 3V4 per cent,
debenturo bonds, There has been a good
deal of criticism because tho Treasury
will not allow Binall emissions of capital
by existing companies. This forces ap
propriations from tho revenue and re
duces capital values. Tho stock exchange
has received messages of approval and
congratulations from the whole country
for last Friday's vote for Lord Kitch
ener.

TRADE BALANCE OF
A BILLION LOOKED FOR
Sccrotnry Rodflcld Says
Amount Is Now $900,000,000
in Fnvor of United States.
A foreign trade bnlanco of $1,000,000,004
for tlio United Stntes Is now In sight a
n direct result of the European irar.
rroppeets that this amount wilt be reached
liy tho end of the country's fiscal yeaf
on June to aro Rood, nnd In any e,vent
with tho oxports at tho present rate,
which show a Inrge gain from week to
week over tho Imports, will exceed the
bllllon-iiollnr mark within the next two
months, nt kn.it, if present conditions
In our foreign trade continue.
Already the balance stands at (900,000,000,
According; to the announcement made by
Secretary nedflold at the Cabinet meet
ing: In Washington today. Tho 800,0OO,OOO
will be reached and exceeded tomorrow,
tho Secretary said. Tho balance In favcr
of this country for tho month of AprI
wan $123,891,093 and for the 10 months
ondlntc with April 30 tho amount wag
$451, 3.,319.
For tho week ending last Saturday tho
balance was $18,932 698. The exports were
$IS,o39,5C3. whllo Imports aggregated $23,
C0fi,C97. Tho exports of cotton during the
same week totaled 124,804 bales, making
a total slnco August 1 of 7,72S,C0D boles.
Whllo the entrance of Ilniy Into the
world war will bring down our exports
to tho Teutonic and Scandinavian natlonb,
this. It Is believed, will bo more than
mndo up by additional exports to Italy
as tlmo goes on nnd she becomes a henv
Icr purchaser. And then, again, tho for
elgn trade of Italy with South America,
which ts menaced by tho war, will be put
In our way.
Italy's trado with South America Is Im
portant, particularly that of Argentine.
Figures for tlio last two years are not
available, but in 1912 more than $15,000,000
worth of goods wero sold to South Amer
ica by Italy.
SPRING WHEAT THRIVES
IN "DISKED" CORN GROUND
Depn.rtm.ont of Agriculture Gives Ro
sults of Experiments.
WASHINGTON. May 23.-Dlsked corn
ground Is tho most profitable for raising
spring wheat In the Great l'lalnanrea,
tho Department of Agriculture totlav
stated In announcing the results of ox
pcrlmenta made at II stations. Climatic
conditions also are a great factor. It wad
found.
Kxtcnslvo tests at the stations show
that there was practically no gain In
ylold on the ground that waa fall plowed,
following corn and oats, over ground
which waa plowed In the spring. The
small difference In cost of tho two meth
ods of preparing tho land makes the rela
tive profits nnd losses from them follow
closely tho differences In yields.
"The greatest profit per acre at those
stations whero It has been possible to
rnlsc whent nt n profit was mado on
disked corn ground," says tho report
"This was made possible by the con
sistently high yields together with the
low cost of preparing tho land for wheat.
Of course the realization of these profits
depends to a certain extent on the suc
cessful growth of corn na fi general arm
crop In competition with other crops.
It also should bo kept In mind that at
nil tho stations tho corn land was koptv
free from weeds, and that If weeds are
allowed to develop In the corn as, good
results cannot be expected.
Stibsolllng has proved of doubtful utility
ns a means of Increase In yields.
