NORFOLK, Va., April 14 (#).—Net income of the Norfelk Southern Rail- road jumped from $408,521 in 1924 to 3 in 1925, an increase of $104,002 6 per cent, according to the six- th annual report submitted to the stockholders here today by President George R. Loyall. The gain was shown despite the fact that passenger rev- enues decreased $24. 5, or 19.49 per cent, as compared t 24, and a de- crease in gross revenue of $160,050. General improvement in operating efficiency made possible the increased earnings, Mr. Royall reported. Operating revenues for the ‘year were $9,131,877, th operating ex- penses of $6,686,087, showing a railway operating income of $2,445 . The ratio of operating ex- was 73.22 per cent, as com- pared with the average of 74.08 per cent for all class one railroads. Tof of the road were given as $42 U. S. TRADE BALANCE ADVERSE IN MARCH Exports were $375,000,000 as Against Imports of $445,000,000 During the Month. S By the Associated Press. 2 Forelgn trade of the United States continued to show an unfavorable bal- ance during March, when exports 000,000, against imports of S for the calen- | year thus creased to ap- imately $1 excess of 000,000 in aving been n for January and February. The department attributed the in- crease in imports of approximately $60,000,000 over March of last year principally to the advance in rubber price For the nine months of the current fiscal year ending in March exports totaled $3,671,640,242, while imports were $3,413,089,200. The favorable balance of $258,5561,042° thus shown, compared with a balance in this coun- try’s favor of $946,730,648 for the same period last fiscal year. A statement by the Commerce De- partment said the decrease of approx- {mately $79,000,000 in exports for March, compared with the same month last year, was largely due to the decreased quantity and lower price of cotton. Exports of this commodity last month fell $42,000,000 - below { March, 1925. S R BELT LINE VALUATION.

Treasury Oldest National Bank in the District of Columbia who has never owned a Real Estate Bond DESPITE the tremendous strides in public favor which first mort- gage bonds have made in recent years, there still are many investors who have never bought them or even investigated their merits. ¥ . The fact that sound first mortgage bonds should have a definite place in-every modern investment list, however, is becoming more widely ized each year. In 1925, for example, the total of city real estate bonds purchased by investors was close to one billion dollars. This billion-dollar figure compares with a total of about five and one- half billions for all other securities representing private capital investment. The First Mortgage Bonds sold by The F. H. Smith Company will bring to your investment list two definite advantages: 1. The non-fluctuating character of Smith Bonds will give you a degree of safety and stability that is not to be found in other classes of securities. Smith Bonds are pro- tected by safeguards that have resulted in our record of no loss to any investor in 53 years. 2. Smith Bonds will increase your average yield. The in- terest rate of 7% on our current offerings compares with an average return of slightly more than 5% on other high-grade investment securities. For further particulars about the advantages of these bonds, send your name and address on the form below for our booklet, “Fifty-three Years of Proven Safety,” and for descriptions of our 7% offerings.
