THE PERCENTAGES.
Going from Bad to Worse.

The Financial Chronicle gives the earnings of
fifty roads for the month of. August at SIG, 25l,-
Co., decrease of $40 405; mileage, Al, 745 miles,
against DO, 5l1 in 1884 From JAM to Aug. 81,
the gross earnings of forty-eight roads were
1924, 1913. 1873, net decrease of ST. 919 OS6 Six
teen show an increase and thirty-four decrease,
as compared with tho corresponding month of
last year, the net decrease for all lines reporting
being about threequarters Of million dollars.
The heaviest losses are among the lines doing
business at cut rates, and it seems likely that
the railroad war may be held responsible for the
greater part Of the decline. The gross loss is
not far from per cent on the whole amount of
traffic and the cutting of rates may be fairly
regarded as sufficient to account for that per-
centage decline
Since the above reports were made things have
been going from bad to worse, and unless peace
is restored very soon the September statement of
railroad earnings will be- the most unfortunate
ever published
