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

half the present price a:: d pay a good divi

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

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

have been burned to death, many

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

beginning of the investigation in the water
department frauds, and at least one has de
camped for parts unknown.

NOTICE!
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.
