Estimated.
The increase in the receipts for the first five months
of 1s4s, compared with the corresponding period in
1s47 was y per cent and for the sixth month 1915
tweny-nine per cent In estimating the receipts for
the next six months this year. we have taken the month
just closed data and have put down the increase,
the income for the corresponding months in 1s47 at
thirty per cent An increase oftwelve and half
per cent the remain of the year would give the
amount of income estimated by the company; but we
have been under the impression, ever since that est
mate made that il was too small, and the
turns for every month confirm that belief. As
have heretofore stated the receipts for the calendar
year 1S4s will exceed three hundred and seventy-nve
thousand dollars The estimate we have formed and
given above based upon the business Of the present
length Of road-upon the line terminating at Croton
Falls-and entirely Independent of the receipts from
the extension of the road from Somers 10 Dover
Plains distance of thirty miles, and the income
passengers and freight from The New York and New
Haven Railroad Company, which alone viii average
more than thousand dlllars per week. The New
Haven line, and the extension Of the Harlem road will
be opened about the LIST of November giving period
ofeght weeks, at eest Of the present caendar the
tension will average about one thousand dollars per
week making from there two sources income of at
least two thousand dollars per Matchmaking aggre-
gate Of sixteen thousand dollars to he added to the
estimated income from the line of road now in opera
ton. In view of these improvements, we still con-
tnue under the impression that the total receipts for
the year ending December 81, 1S4S, will amount to
three hundred and seventy-fvc thousand dollars

increase in the number Of persons residing in
that section OF the city, the facilities enjoyed get

duced rents, compared with those the distance
from the lower wards, away from the line of the road
have given real estate demand, which IL would not
have enjoyed for many years. AS soon the New Ia

The principal depots of the Northern and Eastern
roads will terminate at and Thirty first
streets and the bulk of the travel with the North
East will centre at these points We have the inn
provements made in the vicinity of the railroad depots
in Boston, and similar results will be realised in this
city. In Boston, upon of land have been
made by filing up water lots, and the largest
houses are now standing where a few years SINCE the
tide ebbed and flowed. In this city, we shall doubt
similar improvements; particularly have the
advantage of having the land ready for building
The Hudson River Railroad on the North river,
will produce corresponding improvements at its term
nation, and real estate in that vicinity will feel
the beneficial effects Of these communications with
the interior. The upper part of the city, from the
North to the East river will rapidly increase in popua
