INDUSTRIAL AND LABOR THE ANNUAL STATEMENTS OF THREE COMPANIES. What the Lackawanna, Delaware and Hudson and Jersey Central Did During' the Year Gross Traffic Earnings in 1901 Compared with Those of 1900 Resignation of E. E. Nowell, General Yardmaster of Scranton Terminal of the Lacka wanna Company. In the last issue of the New York Times' weekly financial review Jltlton J. Piatt considers at length the recent nnnual statement of the Lackawanna, Delaware and Hudson and Jersey Cen Iral railroads, noting that after meet Iiik all expenses and fixed charges, but before making deductions for improve ments and additions to property, and sinking funds, these roads in 1001 had a net income of $14,020,740, divided as follows: Jersey Central, $3,863,4S3: Lack awanna $.",552,181; Delaware and Hud son. $4,604,076. After deducting $2.r2u,127 for improve ments, the Lackawanna paid $3,030,034 on $26,200,000 capitalization: the Jersey Central, after deducting $640,000, paid f5.'.!2.MJ3 on $27,411,500 capitalization; and the Delaware and Hudson, after doliieting $1,233,360, paid $3,370,707 on $.M,fi4o,700 capitalization. In other words, of the $14,000,000 which was available, the bum of only $.",830,000 was distrib uted to stockholders, about $4,400,000 ftoing into the properties in one form or other, and $3,800,000 or thereabouts being added to profit and loss surplus. Comparing gross traffic earnings in ailOl with those of 1900, Mr. Piatt finds an aggregate increase of 10 per cent., divided thus: Jersey Central, from $13, ft75,646 to $iri,2SC,700, an increase of $1, 811,063; Lackawanna, from $20,8S7,763 to $23.'507,634, an Increase of $2,619,871; and Delaware and Hudson, from $11,484,180 to $12,178,6S3, an Increase of $694,491. These gains, as he shows, are due al most wholly to better conditions in the coal trade. Coal transportation, al though accounting for lets than one half, or only 46 per cent, of the total earnings, accounts for all but a million dollars, or 78 per cent., of the Increase shown above, this being the distribution of amounts and gains: COAli TlUNSl'OIITATIO.V KAIIXIXCS. 1WW1.

Neverthe less, the fact that so much has beets done to improve the status of the an thracite industry makes it interesting to see what has taken nlnce here.

New York, Marcli SI, The Easter holidays be ink' over, a period marking the return of many of Wall street's leading oerator3 from llieir a cations, should bring' about increased activity in tho market. The standard shares all having a bright outlook, many of tho lower priced iuts are at present worthy of attention. Americtn Ice has declined to nominal figures and will more than likely pass its current divi dend. The weak holders have been puretty well shaken ojt The American Ice company has nearly a monopoly of the ice business of nearly all the Urge Eastern cltlca and will bo certain to rise again and da buslueai at a good profit. Its plant and goodwill should be more tlun worth the present price ot the property, Colorado Southern, Iowa and Wisconsin Cen tral are also good to buy at present. Iliey, like Chicago b4 Great Western, are bound to be Ukrn in by larger system! their prices should gn higher. Mexican Central and Mexican National present a fatorslilo outlook for the future.

There was another upward movcmint towards the end nf the day, hut this upward movement showed signs of boliiff abortive, like that st the opening, and did not extend to a large number of stocks. fit.

Rock Island's four point advance and the gains by the Chicago and Northwestern stocks were not very convincing, while the rise of all tho way of from 1 to over O points in a group ot less conspicuous stocks was quite Ineffectual to in duce a Kpeciilatlre following. The Canadian Pacific group, including the Minneapolis, Mt. Paul nnd K.uilt Ste Marie slocks and tho Dultilh, South Shore and Atlantic were most consnieuous In tills category. Hocking Valley nlso forged up wards 2j4. The activity In these was dwarfed by the overwhelming preponderance of Colorado Fuel, Amalgamated Copper nnd Sugar In tliu dealings. All of tlieso were depressed after tho opening, but lecovcred sharply, sugar rising n point above last week on account of the report from the committee on wajs r.nd means, of the Cuban reciprocity bill.
