REPORT ON THE RAILwArs OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.

The elaborate annual Report on the Railways of the United Kingdom, pre-
sented by Captain Douglas Galton to the Board of Trade, furnishes all the
leading financial and working details of each company, together with the
aggregate totals of the complete system. These statistics may be condensed
and arranged in three series, as follows :
I.

The total capital authorised to be raised by each company respectively in
England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
The proportion of this capital actually raised-
1. By ordinary shares.
2. By preference and guaranteed shares.
3. By loans.
The total capital actually raised by each company, the total for each division
of the kingdom, and the aggregate for the entire kingdom.
The annual preferential charges on each line for interest on preferential and
guaranteed shares and loans, and the totals of the whole.

The gross traffic receipts.
The working expenses.
The total of working expenses and preference charges.
The net income available for dividend.
The first and second series are given below (from an abstract made by Mr.
John Grinsted), and the third will be inserted on another occasion. From
these it appears that the total capital authorised for railway purposes amounted
at the end of last year to £346,408,287, of which 53i- per cent. was in ordinary
shares, 211 per cent. in preference and guaranteed shares, and 251 per cent. in
loans. The total sum of money authorised to be raised for the construction of
railways, open and remaining to be opened, on the 31st of December last, was
£392,682,755, of which £325,375,507 had been raised—viz., £181,837,781 by
ordinary share capital, £61,854,547 by preference shares, and the remainder,
£81,683,179, by loans, leaving £67,307,248 to be raised.
