THouon this Is reported to have been
a bad year for railroads, Poor's "Manusl
Of Railroads" now just going through the
press, does not show 1t. The total num-
Der Of miles Of roads in operation at the
close Of the year 1873 was 7O,85l, and Of
these reports are publlshed from compa-
mics operating e5.7i4 miles. There were
built during the year Sol6 miles. The
gross earnings Of the roads for the year
amounted to $5S5OOo,OOO. As compared
with the year 1879. this statement shows
an increase Of 8,391 in the number Of
miles operated, and Of $s2, 100000 in the
gross earnings, This increase Of more
than IS per cent in gross earnings in q
single year does not seem to warrant any
conclusion that the railroad interest is do.
cllning. The increase has arisen, not
from an advance in the tariffs, but the
transaction Of a greater volume Of busi-
ness; and this increase in the business
furthermore is not confined to any par
ticular section, but every region shows q
