THE STOCK MARKET
The market closed heavy and dull.
Prices drifted sluggishly to the low
er level and then hardened again.
There were no very marked changes
shown by opening prices of stocks to
day and dealings were on a small
scale. Gains outnumbered declines
and reached substantial fractions.
The tone of the market became very'
dull and only a few stocks were In
sufficient demand to benefit more than
a fraction.

BP CENTBNL DEAL
NEW YORK. —Boersianer, the New
York American’s financial expert,
says ■>. -»|
Everybody concerned in the Central
of Georgia-nlinois Central deal is to
be congratulated. The transfer of the
Southern road is excellent for every
body from Oakleigh Thorne to the
Illinois Central itself—not to omit the
bond.holders of the Central of Geor
gia. For a relatively small sum a
huge heterogeneous corporation has
been turned over, or rather allied,
to one of the most provident and best
managed railroads In the country. It
is a bad panic that does nobody good
and in that respect the crisis of 1907
was not wholly had.
In the storm and stress of that
period E. H. Harriman purchased from
the president of the Trust Company
of America the control of the Central
of Georgia for $3,000,000. This sum
represented a profit to Thorne of $2,-
500,000, he having picked up the stock
for about $500,000. It is altogether
unlikely that the holders would have
parted with the shares even at that
handsome remuneration had the finan
cial situation at that time been less
stormy. But the banks then -wanted
money far more than securities. So
the trust company with which Thorne
is identified really disposed not only
of the control of the Central of Geor
gia, but of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company.
What Was the PriceT
Presumably the report of the Illinois
Central for the year ending this month
will show what price was paid for the
Georgia line. Double or even treble
the amount paid to Thorne would not
be dear—for the Illinois Central —for
the acquisition is most valuable to It.
The deal gives the Illinois Central two
seaports, one to the gulf and the other
to the Atlantic at Savannah; so that
the line now extends from the north
ern boundaries of Minnesota, tapping
the Great at Chicago, to the
extreme southern part of the country
and east to one of the most prosper
ous states in the South. Connectloik
is made between the two lines at
Birmingham.
The Central of Georgia, although a
conglomeration of more roads than
make up the Southern railway, has
met fixed charges since its reorganisa
tion in 1905. There are nearly 2.000
miles of the road which traverse a ter
ritory potentially rich in traffic.
Included with the property are val
uable coal fields, something that .the
Illinois Central has always needed.
The capital stock of $5,000,000 is a
nominal item in view of the future of
the road. The profits in the trans
action just closed are not between
Thorne and Harriman. They are in
the preferred income bonds and other
liens. These wore picked up in 1907
by those who foresaw that a powerful
system like the Illinois Central would
some day acquire the road. The se
curities were bought at a very low
figure, especially the three preferred
income issues, which had been receiv
ing a dividend to that time, but were
denied an income following the panic.
Securities Strengthened.
Every lien may now be regarded
as a first rate security, Inclusive of
the equipment trust obligations,
amounting to $2,500,000. A heavy in
crease in the receipts of the Central
of Georgia is now inevitable, for prac
tically all of the Atlantic seaboard
traffic of the Illinois Central will be
given to its subject company. The
Georgia line will welcome the in
crease, since freight traffic grew only
one per cent In nine years, from 1899
to 1908. Passenger density shows a
better record In the same period from
37 per cent to 60. 0
Last year operating charges were
$9 069,119, against gross receipts of
$11,658,652, and as the fixed charges
were $2,593,031 there was a deficit of
$3,498. But in the current year the
road will do a little better. Earn-
Ings are running at an increase of
about 8 per cent
The property, In other words, Is self
sustaining. That it will do much bet
ter under the Illinois Central man
agement is a matter of course. The
$5,000,000 of stock purchased by thj
Illinois Central should in time prove
a valuable asset
