earnings from through travel have increased
for the year S12,S16.74, while those from
local travel on all the lines have decreased

STATEMENT OF TONNAGE SHIPPED OVER TIE
ROAD DURING TIE YEAR.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1878-01-01

The passenger business has decreased by
the sum of Sl2, 12S.93. Whilst the business
to tho watering-places on the line was con-
siderably increased the general travel has
not held its own.
The receipts from freights were increased
BY the sum OF S107.242. Is, and this ir face
OF the fact that for four months in the spring
and summer strikes at mines in the Kanawha
Valley closed one Of our most valuable
sources OF business.
The tonnage for the year, exclusive OF
fuel and material hauled for the company,
amounted to All $50 tons, being an increase
OF 56,197 tons over the previous year.
The average haul per ton was 24S miles,
being IS beyond the average of last year.
The coal, iron. and lumber interests on
the line are considerably increasing.
The present outlook indicates a very large
Increase of local business, and arrange
ments for through business have been
greatly improved, so that very large in

RECEIVED AT AND SHIPPED FROM THE CHEsA-
PEAKE AND OHIO wHARyEs.
The increase in the freight business OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad (recciyed
at and shipped from the wharves below this
city, will be read with pleasure. Mr. l..
Bremond is the general forwarding agent at
the wharves, under whose direction this i'm
portant branch of the company's business
is transacted.
The revenue Of these wharyes for the pc
Rod embraced in the tabular report below
was 1862, sGG.29, being an increase over 1876
of at least 100000. The freight has been
transported with great regularity under the
superintendent Of Mr.. w. M. S. Dunn, en-
gineer and superintendent; and the general
management Of General W. c. Wickham,
receiver, has extended to all the patrons OF
the road all consistent accommodations, in
ducing through Richmond an immense vol
ume of freight that without his influence
would have sought another route:
