1 corn moved :
Gross Receipts. Bushels Corn Mors
sEstimst'

1t is well known in Illinois that the last great
corn crop grown on the line Of the Galena was
that Of 1885, since then the crops have always been
partial or total failures, and, in consequence, the
receipts of the road have steadily declined. This
year we have reason to believe that the crop will
average fifty bushels to the acre straight through
the region planted, and accordingly we estimate
that the earnings of the road, from the time the
corn begins to move, will only fall short Of
those Of 1856 by so much as the passen-
ger business arising from immigration is less
now than it was then. Corn, it must be remem.
bered, affects railway business in the West, not
only directly but indirectly. 1t is the great staple
of the Western farmer. Without corn he can do
nothing. When corn is abundant the farmer Is
rich; he can buy goods, he raise cattle he can
travel. When corn is scarce he has no money TO
travel or TO buy goods; he cannot raise as many
hogs or cattle as usual; he is absolutely i'm
poverished, and every enterprise dependent on
him for patronage necessarily languishes. If,
therefore, our information be correct that the
region drained by the Gaena road has this year
the greatest corn crop il has had since ls55-and
it comes from an unbiased and excellent autho-
rity-our estimates of the future earnings Of the
road, large rs they look are more likely to fall
short Of the actual receipts than to exceed them.
The following is Neil Brothers statement Of the
movements Of cotton for the last week and since
September ], 1859, compared with the five pre-
cedng years.

1t win thus be noticed that the Galena earnings
declined from s2,450,0ll in 1885, to 81 1858, 1876 in
1859, and that they would have fallen still lower
in 1850 but for the large increase which we esti-
mate for the months Of October, November and
December. The event viii show whether that
estimate is well founded or not.
The principal cause Of the decline in the bust
ness Of the Galena since 1856 has been the sue
cessve failures Of the corn crop. Some business
has been taken from the road by the new wscon-
sin lines but not nearly enough to account for the
decline in the receipts, If the corn crop had been
equal to the old average. This will be perceived
by the following table of the annual receipts Of
the road as compared with the number Of bushels
