The Gould System Booming.


ST. LOUIS, November 27.-Large amounts
of corn are being moved by the Missouri
Pacific Railroad, and Col. Talmage, General
Transportation Manager, expects the move
ment Of that cereal to greatly increase from
November on. The other roads are also
very busy and in fact the entire Gould sys-
tenn has more business on all its lines than
ever before The cotton roads are kept busy
and cars are very scarce. The grain roads
have nearly their full capacity taxed,
and earnings Of the system show an in
crease for every road comprised in 1t. The
largest increase of earnings for tie third
week in November ending on the 9th, as
compared with the same week last year, IS
S65, 500 on the Texas Pacific. The Missouri
Pacific comes next with an increase OF a
little more than $55, 5000. The other roads
range from ST., 900 to 5000, except the
Central branch which is a short line, and
even this little road shows an increase OF
$ll eco.
