ended the average of the previous 20 yam. The Fire, M

sameratul, and the results of the traffic on railways, in the 81.
eonstruction of which mere capital has been absorbed than 3
by all the other modes combined, have fully equalled and in ro
many instenem, much exceeds,' expectations. The cost of SO
railroads completed in the United &atm, 8,200 miles, is 2.5
Mated at 200,000,000 dole. It is estimated that the in- 2+
vestments of foreign capital in the securities of this ono. .1
try, now amount to 60,000,000 dole., and it is a source of
both pride and pleasure, that while the average income St
derived therefrom mast greatly exceed that which could '
