Few parties who speculate in stocks are aware OF
the increase made in the number of houses engaged
in the business. Since 1861, 900 new members have
been added 70 the Stock Exchange and the Pubhc
Board established. In 1864, 62 new stock hrms
have been announced.
At the annual meeting Of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi road the earnings were reported to show al
increase of siiSO62 over those Of 1851, win de-
crease in the expenses of $l49,G6, making the net
earnings 1897 l59 larger than those OF last year.
The report estimates that the business for the year
ending Dee. 81. 1862 will show balance of earn
ings over expenditures amounting to si,oio'o2Z'
The theory that the New-York Central report has
been cooked for legislative purposes VIII not
bear examination, and the construction account

In 1856, the first year of consolidation, T4,2io
cords were reported. What is true OF It's iuei Is
true Of its other supplies, and the expenditures OF
1866 have only brought them up TO the proper
standard
The attempt TO make construction and not oper-
ating expenses bear the cost Of sos, 800 OF new
cars and engines will not succeed. Since lsJ6,
tho officers of The road have regularly declared that
they have no construction account forcars. In
1862 the road added 10 engines and 76i freight cars
10 its equipment, and charged its yearly repairs
of engines and cars at ~ 707 600 In 1865, it adds
II engines Is passenger cars and 322 freight cars
and reports the repairs at 81 $50 00O The report is
not one calculated to improve railway property, but
il is as good as the company can make, and there is
no occasion 10 call in question the truth OF its
managers, whose statements bear their oa,hs. II
