New York, July 20. Estimates of earnings of the Har
riman lines for the fiscal year ended June 30 last, made public
today, show an Increase of $19,231,000 gross for the Southern
Pacific, a gain of $7,578,000 in net income and an increase of
$7,735,000 in the balance applicable to dividends. The sur-
i e . . i t a . n a 1AH
pius ior common siock was cquai to i& per cent on ipi,
849,000 of recent issue outstanding.
The results of Union Pacific for the year showed a gain
of $8,499,000 in gross income and $3,929,000 in net income,
not including the $2,015,000 dividends on stocks declared since
July 1, which will doubtless be taken into income account.
There was a decrease of $129,000 in fixed charges, an increase
of $4,169,000 in the balance applicable to dividends and a
gain of $4,169,000 for common stock. Something over 17 per
cent will be shown for Union Pacific common shares for
twelve months.

the directors of the steel trust the direc
torate has already picked out a man to
succeed him. At the last directora'
meeting, June 25. according to the state
ment of a high official of the trust to
day, it was practically agreed that Alva
O. Dinkey, president of the Carnegie
Steel company, should take Corey's
place, many of the supporters of the
man, who had stood br mm through the
scandal attaching to his recent marriage
to Mabolle Oilman, having turned
against him. The directors voiced them
selves in favor or DinKey, ana a com
munication was authorized to the presi
dent of the Carnegie company apprising
him of the situation.
That Dinkey would accept the presi
dency of the trust goes without saying.
By the change he rises from sub
