"Messrs. GEoRGE 0PDTKE & Co, New York.
Gentlemen Your favor of the st Inst asking for
statement OF the las months earnings Of the New York
and Oswego Midland Railroad is at hand have not
yet received report OF the earnings for November
The earnings for the month Of october. from all
sources were S4309 H. equal to s545l0 "a per
on the 4l miles Of road, viz Main Line from Sidney
Oswego, l25 miles; New Berlin Branch, q miles.
The road commenced to transport coal from Sidney,
under contract with the Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company in the latter part of November The best in
formed on the subject estimate the quantity to be
ported the first year ut not less than $50 600 tons while
some estimate the quantity at 100000 tons This will
yield an income OF from S315000 To S45OOOO from coal
alone on that part of the road.
Taking the lowest OF these estimates II gives tor the
l4l miles total annual earning of S399,5l0.4 The to
tai operating expenses will not exceed fifty per cent
which leaves the net annual earnings S449 755 o. which
Is S2555 OF in excess of interest of the Bonds Issued
thereon.

freight are steadily increasing and that too, without
