The cost OF repairs to the track and
road bed are very much above the av-
erage of any other road in the country,
and in consequence Of the steep grades
and short curves, the wear and tear Of
rolling stock and iron are also very
great. For the month of February
the cost OF repairs OF engines and cars

say I'm the early part of January,
1872, the stock was selling in the Board
at the equivalent OF $is to $50 per
share for the present issue. Those who
purchased then aud have since held
