CATTLET, GP.IDLEf 4 CO. BHi PROFITS OF THE BANANA TRUST T wo M i II ion I Vol hir t Karninx Last Year. n Apr:; ! a'l holders of stock In the I'nitf.l Fruit Company, otherwise known as the a:..ma trust. v.V.1 get a dividend of 2 per ;-r:t. A or J i r.g to the New Turk FnHi'j, e N-'w. if all the water were querz-d out of t;:e stock, the dividend ouM n:--: ':kely be 2 per cent At the ra i e of di idend pa i d. the stock earns about ! per cent a year, or virtually I,. and the mcnev all comes out of eon';n!ers. orfclals of the company say lis bu:r.rM i.t ear was the tarpest on re o r d. and t !-. e f. r. an ci al pan 1c ha d no effect at all on tt Tlie s.de isue of the trust, the FV-iIt riippatrh Company, is capitalized at orkly fl.ioi-o. ar.J its profits last year are said to have Ken $ '.vhh. Of the wcrkir.es of :he United Fruit Com pany, the NV w York Ti'duce Sews says: When pr:c frt too bw the United ::hr dumps the fruit in transit, throws tt overboard .a the iuirovrs or cuts ci ship ments lSa::a:;as could be s-3id for about half the present price a:: d pay a good divi dend oti actual iuv ..s::ne:it. tx the v. faoI-staIe prue was in at-cor dan.: alth the cost, wuh a h:x margin for capital invested, the public cciid Kt nearly dou.M the amount of bananas from a stand a-i now K-!d for the SAino amount of money. The banana is a beaithy food ar.d if sold as it should be tne consumption would be far larger. So long as the Banana Trust ha the trade by the throat, so iosig alii tu present rr hap hlpher prices prevail. The United can at any nion:e::t Increase the wholesale price a::d the Jobbers and fruit sellers over the cuimtry are helpless. So Io::g as an in -depend tnt orRanizatiin is doing but little business the trust d"es not care, but let one. tuch as tlt old Atlantic was, pr;r,f up ar.d see what happens to It. 8A.I.FS AT THE BOARD OF TRADE.

STOCK SALES LIGHT Speculation Still Affected by the Erie Difficulty. ALMOST NEGLECT MARKET Reports From Iron and Steel Trade and Returns of Railway Earnings Are Xot Favorable Weak Showing of French Bank. NEW TORK. April 2 There was littla disposition to venture into atock opera tions while the uncertainty continued ever the settlement to be effected of the Ertaa financial difficulties. It w aa known be fore the market opened that the meeting" of the Erie directors was set tor 2 o'clock and a postponement was axroounced during the session. The prospect of another stock ex change session passfng without any explicit Information being- forthcoming on the vexed problem of the Erie was the cause of al most total suppression of market activity durlnx the greater part of the day. There was. however, a slow recovery from the de pression of the early part of the day and some animation as the recovery progreasel. The recovery was largely influenced by rumors that favorable developments were forthcoming In the Erie matter. The Erie trouble weighs on sentiment as much from anxiety over the. further development In Its finances as fears of the Immediate situation. The financial public is unfavorably im pressed, also, by the signs of disagreement between Important interests In the company. The occasional show of strenjcth In to day's market was viewed with some dis trust as being caused by possible support ing operations to safeguard the market against effects of some unfavorable de velopment. A further decline in prices of cepper at the New York Metal Exchange and reports of accumulating stocks of that metal had to be contended with by those seeking to support stocks. The tone of the representative reviews In the Iron and steel trade as not encouraging to the conten tions that revived activity was being sus tained in those industries. There were several additional returns of esrniners for February, and the average showing as not conducive to confidence that earnings were being materially con served by such economies aa had been found practicable. The average decrease in net earnings for February for 41 railroads al ready reporting, is found to be 23 $4 per cent, compared with February of last year, which shows no Improvement over the Jan uary averag-e of declines. The cessation of soft coal mining ie not favorable to an advance in stA-ks. although the feeling per Fits that the opportunity to work off stocks of coal will further the chances for resump tion to advantage at a later day. Condi tions in the anthracite trade were reported better, owing, apparently to the effect of the Spring reduction in prices, which went Into effect, according to custom, on April 1. The wcik return of the Bank of France waa the feature of foreign financial news, the effect being to raise the price of gold and to stiffen the discount rate in the Lon don market. In spite of a strong return by the Bank of England, The proposed Ger man loan caused aorae depression of Invest ment issttes. but the private discount rate receded in Berlin. Some use was made of revived reports that an advance in freight rates waa to be permitted In stimulating the late recovery in stocks. It was not held, and the market had fallen back into dull neglect when the day ended. Honda were steady. Total sales. par value. $1,672,000.

FIRE SWEEPS PRAIRIES One Man, Hundreds of Cattle, Many Houses Burned. FAXTONf. Neb., April 2. A prairie fire has been raa-Ing in the sand hills for two days, James Kane is known to have been burned to death, many houses were destroyed, hundreds of head of livestock were lost and thou sands of acres of prairie burnecl. The fire started Tuesday. All day Wednes day a 50-mile wind blew and the blaze swept across the prairie with tremen dous speed. Blazing; embers were car ried ten miles In advance of the flames in places. The sky was so black with smoke that ranchmen were unable to locate the fire until the blaze was upon them. As rapidly as possible ranchers plowed safety furrows around their buildings, but In many cases the flames reached them before the plowing; was com pleted. . This happened In the case of James Kane, a ranchman north of Paxton, and Kane, together with his house and all his livestock, was burned. Grave fears are held for the safety of other ranch ers. Chicago. In ail. 39 employes have be?a suspended or compelled to resign since th-a beginning of the investigation in the water department frauds, and at least one has de camped for parts unknown.

IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC CONCERNING THE SO-CALLED WASHINGTON HOME TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO. In a recent advertisement in the daily papers of Portland I was made to ap pear aa the Pacific Northwest Agent of the above-named company. The facts are that I had a brief connection with this company as a sales man, and after making a careful investigation of its claims I found it had no connection, financial or otherwise, with the Home Telephone & Telegraph Com pany of Portland, the Home Telephone Company of Pnget Sound, or the Northwestern Long-Distance Telephone Company, and it appeared that its nse of the word "HOME" in its name and its publishing a cut in its prospectus of the Home Telephone & Telegraph Company's main building in Portland was intended to deceive the public. As I did not intend to be a party to any deception of this kind, I resigned. C. R. WAGNER Formerly with the Washington Home Telephone Co. 204, Couch Building Telephone MSSS.
