Union Pacific Shows Greater
Revenues Since Being Split
Up by United States.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Despite the
Government’s dissolution of the Union
and Southern Pacific* merger, the an
nual report issued to-day by the
Union Pacific Railroad for the fiscal
year ending .June 30 last shows this
was a more prosperous year than
1912.
-The company set aside $50,000,000
in a special fund to meet stock de
preciation resulting from the divorce
of the two systems, and in spite of
the fact that there was an actual de
preciation of stock values amounting
to $40,780,000 the road earned 15.13
per cent on its $216,635,400 outstand
ing commpn stock, against 13.87 earn
ed the previous year.
The total assets of the company
are placed at $902,713,934, with equal
liabilities. The 1913 report shows an
increase of more than $7,600,000 in
gross and nearly $3,800,000 in net
operating .income over the previous
year. The surplus available for divi
dends was $36,800,000.

third, are from people in the North
