year preceding.
This is the smallest mileage construct

for in 1873 there was cOstructed twice as
much and in 1872 four times as much as
in 1874. In fact in 1873 the decline be-

This last rate of progress, says the Ga

Regarding the future, this journal
thinks that the large part of railroad
work must arise from the Improvement
of old lines, and while there is not to be
expected any such unnatural activity in
the mast. still there seems 10 be ground

Arguing on the point it says.
THE closeness of the money market
has prevented any great improvement of
old lines where We must look IN future

of labor and material; thew were very
much lower than for many years previ-

command the money could probably do
their work for probably fifth or qurr-
Ter less than in 1868. The New York
Central & Hudson River has had the adj
vantage Of these low prices while e1-
handing about ten millions for third and /.

OF trade. and the men having disputed
! this demand the whole question has been
been referred TO the arbitration IF Mr. Ru-

day. The proceedings were not concluded
up to last evening, and are expected to

arbitration is watched with great interest.
DURHAM MINERs-A full meeting of
delegates If the Durham Miners Associa-
tion was held ii the city Of Durham, on
Monday, 10 decide upon the course to be
adopted with reference to the proposed re-
ductIon of 20 per cent. in coal-hewers'
wages. About $50 delegates were present,
representing 10, 600 men. A resolution
was ultimately adopted III favor of again
referring the matter to arbitration.
The GLASGOW MINERS The majority
of the miners have been very steadily en-
ployed since they commenced work after
The strike 1T last summer. However, there
are more miners in the district at present
than there is work for, and the stoppage
of Mestlnulr CollIery, in consequence Of
an infex If water, has thrown great num-
Der ct miners cut of employ ment. Several
have obtained work in the Blantyre dis
trict, where 1t is expected that in few
months many more men will be required

ues The Blast Furnace men have agreed o
contribute $500 per week as long as it

An interesting comparison of the amount
Of work done by golfers now and ten
years since is given by correspondent Of
the Leeds Mercury, who states that IN 1864
the average product Of our coal mines gave
for each person employed 327s tona,
which, for 3IS working days, is equal to
2lA cwts for each person per day. In
1868 the average product gives for
each person 81 tons, which, for SIS
