RAILROAD STATISTICS.

The new volume of "PooR's Manual
OF the Railroads of the United States
contains some interesting statistics of
our railroad system. The increase in
railroad mileage in 1850 was 7,l74
miles in 1881, 9,Ts9 miles in 1889,
II sol miles, or ., 55l miles during the
three years. The increase of share
capital and Indebtedness for the same
period was over s., 1000, 900, eco. making
the cost of the roads average $40, 900 a
mile. The actual cash cost
Is estimated at not over 10000
a mile, leaving over one
hundred per cent for water. The
sum actually absorbed in railways
during those years was nearly 81 0oO,-
900 day. When to this a thousand
millions of waterCd stock is added we
need not wonder that the Wall street
market is unstable. Unstable as
water is n Biblical phrase. AT the
c lose Of 1852 the United states had
/ ll3 $50 miles OF railroads, or more than
Itwo-fifths o. the mileage Of the whole
world. The aggregate share capital
was s. ,456,07S, lg7 and that Of the fund

The charge for the passengers variec
from an average OF 81 cents per mile
