Freight Business Over Indianapolis Lines.
The train records show that majority of the
roads are carrying full as much business as at
the corresponding period Of 1883, when there
was much less growing than at the present
time. The fact is that freight traffic is good for
June. and this yearthe earnings will exceed those
ofJune 1888, much better are tariff rates being
lived up to- One of the encouraging features of
railroad business just now is the disposition to
maintain rates where local competition is sharp
The advance in east-bound rates. which takes
effect to-day, did not stimulate tariff last week,
as was expected The west-bound tonnage is
running a little light, but is heavier than in June
last year. North and south roads are doing a
fair business and have excellent prospects for
heavy fall traffic. Local business is quite salts
factory and the indications are that the coming
months of this year the earnings of Indianapolis
roads will run ahead of those Of the correspond
ing months Of 1888 Below is given the mum
