THE CENTRAL AND HUDSON REPORT.
The annual ronnrt of the Central and Hudson


Railroad Company was waited for this year with more
than usual interest. because 1t was supposed that 1t
would reflect the effect of the West shore competition
and heightened and mystifed after the
report OF week ago published, by an apparently
important discrepancy between the figures OK the an
nal report and the aggregate figures of the four quar-
terly reports for the period as they had been made
the Railroad Commissioners. As matter OF fact the
competition OF the West Shore Company had little effect
upon the business of the Central and Hudson TIL after
September 80 the date to which this report s made The
Central and Hudson had made some voluntary reduc-
in for freight and had run some excursion
passenger trains reduced rates. But 1t was not till
after October l that the wost Shore was in physical
position to strike for its proportion Of both passenger
and freight traffic. When it was ready to compete
actively 1t advertised 1t by reduction OF regular pass
enger fares from to l cent mile.
The discrepancy between the quarterly reports of the
Central and Hudson and the gross annual statement
as furnished by the company for publication, a week
ago. which seemed to be inexplicabe Is shown in the
following comparison.
