Raleigh and Castor Railroad.

We publish to-day report of proceed
ings of the stockholders meeting of the
Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad Company
From the report of the President, made to
the meeting, we learn that the total earn
ings during the year just closed were $24S.-
1892. Receipts from other sources, Sc ,342,-
81. Balance brought from last fiscal year,
less dividends, &C., paid out of same, s4O,-
332.13; making total amount of 1884,
1919. The total expenditures were
$101,077S7 leaving cash balance of
S1O2,S15,25. Of this amount $4,000 was
paid for bonds of the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad Company, at par, leaving an un-
expended balance of $52.s15.25. A three
per cent. cash dividend, amounting to $45,,
600 was paid on the day of the meeting.
The purchase of the bonds of the Column
bia and Augusta Railroad, which was au-
thorized by the stockholders at the last
meeting, together with a similar purchase
by the North Carolina Railroad, enabled
the Columbia and Augusta Company to
connect with the North Carolina road at
Charlotte, and thus make through line
from Augusta to Norfolk, which will tend
greatly to increase the business of all the
roads and add to the receipts of the ensuing
year.
The meeting was largely attended; and
the reports of the officers, showing the inn
proved condition of the road and its rolling
stock, and financis prosperity sufficient TIC
pay a dividend affe-2all the improvements
were highly gratifying to the Stockholders
