From the brief extracts published in the Philadel-
mia papers of the Lehgh Valley Railroads report
for tho wear ended November 80. 1879. we are able
70 make the following comparisons with the com
panys business of 1878: The total tonnage OF coal
Cor 1870 was 44I5.2S4 tons, against 3,479, 593
tons in 1S78-an increase of 935,671 tons, or
obout % per cent. OF this increase, 657.O9 tons
were carried over the New-Jersey Division. the
shipments that way-to tide-water at New-lork-
having been 1,530470 tons in 1879, against
s7e377 tons in 1878. The figures for other
freight and for passengers are not given.
The financial exhibit shows that the gross
receints from all sources In 1879 were
S354 $40 greater than in 1873. but the operating
exnonses were increased 1910 055, leaving the net
earnings for 1879 $155,7l3 less than the net earn
inas for 1878. On the other hand the general ex-
nanses and losses on coal" in 1879 were $4,000
less than in 1873. while the interest charge was in
creased $50 605; so that after the payment OF per
