It win BIZ noticed that. with few exceptions in Ohio
and that vicinity all the railroads show OF
traffic. Tint increase is most considerable in Illinois,
where the two great lines running westward from Chicago
show increase Of 40 IL per cent and the Illinois Cen
trail, running southwark an increase Of 81 per cent 1t
must be expected that after lake navigation ceases the IN

standard of October East of Chicago the increase of
traffic is yet small, being only per cent the
Michigan roads (all of which was in the last week of
October) some OF the roads in that region still show
small falling Off These lines WILL it expected, do better
November their winter business will be good If there
is any foreign demand for breadstufs In any event
well DO lighter than the traffic of last winter
Coming home, find among the New York roads
greatest increase Of traffic the Hudson River which

IL per cent, and the smallest increase the Erie and
Central which only 10 per better than la.
year We have to believe that the smarness Of
the increase these roads mainly the low fares
charged on the trunk lines. The business OF the New

rates so low that the receipts TO pro.

An analysis of the traffic, tabled above shows that

stockholders in the shape OF dividend It's interest 10 the
Atlantic steamships, which lately purchased from

effect a compromise with Commodore Vanderbilt II is
pretty well known that the last emssary who visited
the Commodore behalf Of the Pacdc Mail Company wa
not met In very conciliatory SPIRIT the Commodore
apparently being OF the opinion that the company hal not

low fares it is wei known that the public is an eventual
