SIR: Your valuable paper having given such
exact information railroad management ard the con

would bc indebted YOU for light upon tnc cOndi
ton OF the Chicago Milwaukee and 81. Paul Railroad
COMPANY. The statement of the road as weekly pub
lishe shows continual decreases III earnings ana sub
scrber who siOchholdcr ava bondhoder Oh tne con
solidated mortgage would like to know whether the
road Is able TO pay such bonds out of its
tual earnings, or dividends on its preferred stock
NcW York, April 10, 1871 ~ o.
ANY answer the conundrum proposed by j. o. nrst
be extremely problematical. This company, like most
other railroads. keeps open q construction account long
after has ceased add mile TO It's e. Thus at the
end of 1872 it had 1888 miles of road; the capital
stock was--commOn and preferred-$2i ,22i331, aud
debt $25 l24400 total $40 731 At the oId Of 1873
il had 1893 miles of line; tAc capital STOCK was
$27 673744 ami debt SOS 0lG,3i7; total $15.7lU,09i-
the increase being 16 miles Of line and $636l2GO in
debt and capital 1t has paid several DIVIDENDS in bonds
and Scrip under the preense that the net earnings had
been used in bettermcnts, but these bring 10 it no III
creased earnings those of 1873 having been reported at
s9g46l24 against - 054l7l for 1876 by the partial
report made for latter year the not earnings Set
down at IS, 0S1 800. During 1876 the debt was in
creased by dividend of II per cent on the preferred
stock in bonds and sale OF bonds probably about $1,000
OOO so that lis present debt is g3l,00OOOO when
at per cent requires $1700G0 per annum for interests
TO this is 10 be added $4,000 for sinking flnd. without
the full detailed report for 1876 1t is Impossible 10 de
eide what proportion of the reported net earnings Were
made I'D by charges to construction and reduc
ton Of the quantity OF supplies on hand Thus far the
earnings for 1877 are 100000 behind those for 1875
with every probability that those for the next four
months will still greater proportionate decline
