track rolling stock, and buildings have all been i'm
proved. TIE operating expenses have been dmin-
ished and 3l0hs y cent, and economics introduced
which are making further reduction In expenses
The Sterling and Rock Island branch is to be opened
for traffic about Aug. J. making new route TO Rock
Island and Davenport. The bonded debt Of the Com
paDy has been further reduced for the year si5OO0
out Of the earnings Of the road Including this amount
the road has earned about 81 cent expenses
and all nterest. The connection with the Iowa aud
Nebraska line Clinton is about completed, and the
gain in traffic from this and the new Sterling
branch it is stated will more than counterbalance the
loss at Rockford and Freeport. The serious failure of
the corn crop in the north of Illinois has essened the
increase of busness which woud otherwise take place.
The financial condition Of the Company is in a sound
and satisfactory state and another good harvest would
give great expansion to its business. We annex the
