rhe Railway Building of 1886 Promising
to Exceed Former Years-What Has Al
ready Been Done and the Indications OF
Further Work.
CHICAGO, July 1.-The Railicdy Age
will say to-day: 1t is now certain that
the railway building of 1856 will far ex-
ceed that of the two preceding years and,
indeed, surpass that of most years In the
history of the country. A detailed record
from January | to June 80, 1856, COM
piled from exclusively official statements,
shows that track laying mas already been
In progress In thirty-two of the States
and Territories on ninety-seye lines,
and that no less than l,755 miles of new
main track, not counting sidings and ad-
ditional track, have been added II the
railway system of the United States since
January /. The mileage laid during the
first three months is less than one-third
Of the total for the entire time; and it
may be surely predicted that the total
new railway mileage of 1856 will not fall
short of G,000 miles, and may consider
ably exceed that.
The greatest activity thus far has been
in Kansas, where 90l miles of track have
been added on twelve different lines
Florida follows with POI miles on eight
lines; Texas with l9j miles on six lines
Wisconsin with ls4 miles on four lines,
and Illinois with III miles on five lines
Nebraska has added 81 miles on six lines
In none OF the other States have more
than sixty miles been laid thus far, but in
many of them, as well as IN those Just
named, preparations are actively going on
for track-laying to a large extent during
the next few months. The indications
are that the greatest activity will be in
Kansas, Dakota, Missouri, Arkansas,
Alabama, Georgia and Florida. 1t is TO
be seen that this construction is mainly
going on in new parts of the country. de-

Astounding Statements from Nu"'e' "

The Depsrtment Of Agriculture has
been investigating, through It's o'a's

nearly twelve millions OF dollars IN
1889. and the extra price charged Tor

on credit are bacon, lard, Hour corn

! be safe to say that the average rate per

In Alabama 45 per cent. of the farm-
ers were in debt January 1, and with

price. OF Louisiana the agent writes:
"Seyenty-fiye per cent of the farmers
and planters are in debt The cost Of
such Indebtedness, in my opinion, is
fully 25 per cent. of the entire crop.
