RAILROAD AND PRoFIr. There are in the United
states one hundred and seventy-four railroads Of
which twenty-five are In progress of construction.
Fu'y eight only OF this number pay dividends from
212 to y per cent. per annum.
Inc longest road is the New York Central, $50
miles; total cost aud equipment thirty millions.
ana last dividend eight per cent. The shortest n
the Erie aud Northeast, 20 miles cost and eouio-
mens seven hundred and fifty thonsand, and last
ulvidend ten per cent The largest dividend 70
made by the GsisDa aud Chicago road. and the
smallest by the Raleigh aud Castor. II therefore
appears from this statement abbreviated from the
American Railroad Journal, May 22l that pinetv-
iour completed roads make no dividend al ail. H
the whole number, only eight have not contracted
debts. The debts are enormous. the lowest ss oi9
ana the highest $2S,081 ,46S; aud IL also appears
that twenty OF the companies have borrowed the
round sum of t'oo hundred millions Of ao,tars. ~
