THE UNION PACIFIC REPORT


The followin is the of1cial statement OF the
earnings and expenses OF the Union Pacidc Rail-
road during the nrst SIX months OF the calendar
year. The gross earnings for the six months are
tl9.S93 less than during the corresponding time In
1878, when business was active and when rail-
roads iully supplied with all the trafic they
sould attend to. The net earnings show decrease
Of 3SS,63l; and when 1t Is known that during the
past iour months extraordinary efforts have been
made 70 complete the work on the road, such
~ nlltng up trestle bridges and In other ways
giving permanence to construction which has
only been temporary, and that the expense
for this extra work has been charged to operating
expenses instead OF to construction account,
which most companies have, the exhibit must be
considered as favorable. In regard to tho finances
Of the company we are informed that the ex-
changes of the old income bonds into the new
sinking funds are going forward steadily, the
large holders OF the incomes having already ex-
changed their bonds. The statement OF earnings
and expenses even Tor the first six months OF the
year, which in good times are the poorest months,
show ample protection for tue bonded interest
and something more. The figures are as fol-
