The New York Stakeholder, in making cal
culation to show the enormous increase of net
earnings By the Eastern trunk lines, says the re-
turns of the Pennsylvania and Eric systems for
the month of June are not yet at hand, hence
only the business of five months can be included

roads, of course, reporting for the full half year.
Taken altogether however, the returns indicate
degree of improvement in traffic which has as
yet scarcely been appreciated. The statement
of the Chronicle shows that the gross earnings
of the nine roads for the various periods show
an increase over 1885 of more than 81. $50, 00G.
The increase in net is over So, oU0000 or nearly

gether and revised the rates to agree with the
tariff of Aug. II, 1885, and agreed to put them
in force whenever the several committees from
other pool points got ready TO take similar
action A meeting was to have been held on
Tuesday, at indianapolis, at which were to be
present the committees on rates from Peoria
St Louis Chicago and Indianapolis. The
attempt to hold the meeting was abandoned
owing to want of COO peration on the part Of
the outside committees, and the Generalization
will continue indefinitely as it is impossible TO
do anything towards curing the evil so long as
the outside roads prefer cut rates to tariff. New
lumber rates were put in effect in the territory
on July l. but it is doubtful if they will hold,

An Important Meeting.

A meeting of the Chicago committee Of the
Central Traffic Association was held at Commits
sioner Blanchard's Office on Wednesday. The
forenoon was occupied in a rehearing of the
arguments in behalf of a new award to some Of
the complaining Chicago roads. In the after
noon the Chicago & Atlantic's admission into the
pool came up. The commissioner presented a
report of further negotiations with President
Benedict. which seemed to be quite favorable.
But as the general managers Of the Baltimore g.
Ohio the Lake Shore and tbs Nickle-plate we're
not present in person. but were represented by
the general freight agents, it was decided that
the commissioner should send out state
mant to the general managers defining
the situation and asking for opinions.
Mr.. Benedict is very sanxious to have the Chi
cago q Atlantic road become member of the
pool. as was shown by the company's attitude in
the passenger meeting but he was somewhat
worried By the company's contract with the Wa
bash road. The general contract Of the associa-
ton came up for discussion. This document,
embodying all the general features of the organ
ization and of the several pools, has never been
signed as an entirety. and it is intended
to legalize it by using it as public
charter. 1t was agreed to send out formal
copies for the signatures of the Presidents. The
Chicago Inter Ocean says: An interesting topic
of discussion was the strike on the Lake Shore
road, and the inability of the company to accept
all the freight that had been offered of late The
Lake Shore road asked that it should not be
made to suffer when the pool settlements were
made, as it was practically making fight in the
interests Of all the lines of the pool The gen
eral sense of the meeting was that the company
should not suffer any monetary loss in the pool,
but it was deemed best to leave the matter to a
vote Of the general managers.

In this weeks issue Of the Railway Age it will
be shown that during the last six months seven
teen roads have been sold under foreclosure,
representing total of s. 1872 miles, and an appar-
ent aggregate of bonded debt and capital stock
amounting to 1921, &c. 600. This, on its face,
is the worst showing which has been made in
connection with railway foreclosures during
corresponding period for many years. 1t already
greatly exceeds, in respect to mileage and CAPT
tai the record of foreclosures for the whole of
1885, when the number of roads was twenty-five,
with g. loo miles of lines and an apparent capital
account of $278, 494, 600 In the previous year
(1864) foreclosure sales had reached the lowest
aggregate for ten years. only fifteen roads hay-

aggregating only 10 miles. with the compare
