closed between the New York Central Sleeping
car Company and General Manager Talmage, by
all Pullman and Mann sleepingcars will be with
drawn from the Wabash railroad, and Wagner

points. That from st. Louis to New York will
be from Toledo. via the Michigan Southern and

The Future Promising.

Nearly all Indianapolis roads are showing in
creased freight earnings; all would were cars to
be had to move the business offered. The fact
is that whether we turn to the Maine Central in
the East, the Union Pacific in the Weat. the
Mobile s. Ohio in the South or the Northern Pa
cifc in the North country, the figures show the
same gratifying results of increased and increas
ing traffic, and there is no longer any doubt that
railroad earning for the first six months of 1886
will far exceed those of the first half of 1885.
The gains thus far are directly attributable to a
revival of general business, as the movement OF
the larger crops of this year. corn and cotton is
only just now beginning to be reflected in the
reports of railroad earnings.
