Poor's Railroad Mammal for 1884 is out.
As compendium oc information on the
subject Of railroads it Is work of great
value. There is nothing ACCESSIBLE that
takes it, .yNIce. 'lhi authors review of
tho opcratiunsof AnI cream railways for tho
year 1853 and his deductions therefrom
form interesting and instructive reading
for investors and the general public. Tho
mileage at the close of the calendar year
was 1852 miles, G,153 miles having been
constructed during the year. The average
mileage operated during tho year was
1l0,ili miles. Tho share capital Of the
aggregated roads issued up to the close Of
their fiscal years was $3,7OS, ,O60, ,5s3, an in
crease from the previous year of $2O7,-
02l,759. The funded debts of the COM
panies amounted to S3,l55, ,0i0, 3s3. The
total amount of all liabilities at tho close
of 1883 was 7,495, ,47l,3l1. The total per
milo for completed mileage was S62, ,l76.
The total of stock and other liabilities for
1852 was $70l6,750, ,l09; per mile, S6l, 1903.
The total for 1851 was $6,27S, ,565, ,052;
amount per mile, $60,Gi5. The total for
1850 was So 402, OBS, ,257; amount per mile,
$5s,62i. The total for 1879 was Sl,s72,-
Ol7,517.
The increase in share capital and in
dohtcdncss of all the companies for three
years ended Dec. 81, 1888. was $2,093,
433, ,054, the cost of the new mileage, as
represented by share capital and debt, be-
ing $4,000 per milo. The actual average
cost could not have boen in excess OF
$4,000 per mile.
1t is in this building up of debt and
enormous increase of fictitious capital
that the author finds cause for the general
distrust which prevails and the rapid and
enormous decline in the price of railroad
securities. On this phase Of the subject
he says:
From 1879 to near the close of 1883 q mos
singular delusion rested upon the public rs tC
thcirvaluo, and this dclusion was taken advant
age of on ayast scale by able and unscrupulOu,
| adycnturCrs Whatever was manufactured
and put anoat was seized with avidity by AZ
eager and uniformed public The deluslor
was increased and prolonged by payments on
II very large scale on interests aud Dividend
from capitals. In this delusion the most lout
mouthed and INSCRIPTIONS promoters usually
had great success. Thedelusion eliminated
about the time Of the opening of the Northern
Pacific in connection with which visionary
schemes of immense magnitude had been pu
on the market Their worthlesness and raplC
decline Of their securities exertGd powerful
influence over the public mind which con
tlnues unchecked at tho time of writing this
The dlatrust extends alike TO good and bud, 81
that prices at the present time have as littl,
reference to values us they had at the begin
ing Of 1883 The distrust will probably con
tlnue until time shall show what securities ar,
really well based.
1t is worth whilo to stop and ponder
over this exhibit.
