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