Reaches New Peak MONTREAL.

Volume of traffic, including freight, passenger, mail and express, or the C.P.R. In 1943 reached levels never attained before, its annual statement issued Sunday reported. The statement was signed by D. C. Coleman, president.

The document announced that financial results of operations showed a moderate Improvement over 1942. which, however, was "not in proportion to theincrease in traffic handled," The report added: "As a result of governmental regulations, rates, both passenger and freight, were maintained at the 1941 level. On the other hand, operating costs, both labor and material, and taxes advanced substantially." The company's organization and facilities were subjected to rigorous tests in successfully meeting the wartime demand for transportation, the report said. Bad weather in the first quarter of 1942 created operat-irr difficulties; labor shortage curtailed the maintenance program; the amount of new equipment procurable fell short of requirements; wartime restrictions limited the provi sion of additions and betterments to facilities; and continuance of heavy enlistment of the staff created problems, not only of replacements but also of training and supervision. Gross earnings at $297,107,791 were $10,213,700 or 15.7 percent greater than In 1942 and were a record.

Freight eemings Increased or 11 percent and "could be attributed to the further expansion of the dominion's industrial output ar.d enlarged export trade brought about by Improved shipping conditions." Net earnings In 1943 were at compared with $40,354,267 in 1942. Another factor was increased movement of grain. Earnings from grain handlings rose $12,200,000 or 37 percent and volume carried at 257,00,000 bushels was slightly in excess of the 1915-1929 average of 254.000,000 bushels. The report showed ton miles for the year totalled 24550 million compared with 22,600 million in 1942 and 18 423 million In 1928. The average revenue per ton mile was 87 cents and showed little change.

Pessenger Earnings Passenger earnings Increase or 30.1 percent and volume was a record. Average passenger journey was 150 miles compared with 156 miles In 1942. Working expenses increased $39,219,823 or 18-8 percent and exclusive of taxes Increase was $32,592,157. Expense ratios were: Including taxes, 83,44 percent in 1943 against 81.24 percent in 1942; excluding taxes, 72.82 against 71.54 percent. Railway tax accruals amounted to $31,548,654, an Increase of $6,627,665.
