The Railway Age, in discussing the
railroad track laying in this country for
the present year, says that last year rail-
way construction reached the lowest figure
shown for seven consecutive years, the
total addition to mileage being, in round
numbers, only 5000 miles. The total
track laid in the first tour months of this
year, on 40 lines in 90 States, amounted to
666.5 miles "Ot the 40 lines. track lay
ing is still in progress on at least "a, and
these alone expect TO add fully 1900 miles
to their present mileage during the year
While also large number of Independent
projects are on foot, many of which will
take tangible shape if the labor troubles
do not stop the wheels of enterprise. still
the greater part of the new mileage for
1886 will be due to the progressive move
ments of the already great companies
Although it is too early to indulge in any
definite predictions, there have already
entered upon, a sufficient number OF new
lines to make it reasonably certain that
the aggregate of track laid in 1886 will
be very considerably greater than in
1885. and probably than in 1884 also. As
the year 1882, when the enormous amount
of ll.56S miles of track were laid in the
United States, marked the elimination of
period OF extraordinary activity in rail-
way building, so the year 1885 doubtless
marked the end of a three years period of
rapid decline in construction, aud we now
seem to have entered again upon the up
grade in this respect"

The Business Situation.

One of the most marked features of the
past week in the business world has been the
decided Improvement in the industrial situa-
ton. The current agitation in favor of few
er hours of labor at the same or larger pay
than is nav given for ten hours has mostly
disappeared, except at Chicago. In New
York it has been failure, and here in Bos-
ton the striking JOurneymen in the building
trades can hardly congratulate themselves on
having made a brilliant success Even in
Chicago the determined attitude of the NAH
ufacturers in most of the leading lines in
locking out nearly so, 900 employees who de-
manded a working day of eight or at most
nine hours, has doubtless arrested the pro-
gress of the movement As might have been
expected, the favorable change in the indus
trial outlook has led to general improve
ment in trade conditions except in the East
ern cities, where little or no Improvement is
vet visible. The most marked improvement
has naturally been at Chicago, where a large
number of orders which had heen DELAYED bv
the riotous demonstrations of the previous
week have been received. As to the leading
markets, that of iron is reported as
dull, deliveries on contracts continu-
ing to be delayed. Wheat has de clined
owing to heavy interior stocks and bear
ish influences, which have been backed by
ISNNTdDIe crop reports. he distribution OF
dry goods has not met expectations, the bust
ness of commission houses being especially
light. Sugar prices have been depressed
both in New York and London BY heavy
stocks and a decreased consumption. The
money market is generally easy, and money
on call is in fair supply at from ID to % per
cent. There has been general improve
ment in mercantile collections. The stock
market is fairly strong. The number of bus
mess failures IN the Uuited States this week
was l56, against LIZ last week, l64 in the
second week in May. 1885, 1877 in 1884, l66
in 1888. and Is in 1882. The total in the
United States Jan. to May Ia is 1914,
sgainst 5007 in 1885, decline Ct 1913 in 1874
days. or nearly five and half failures daily
The total in nineteen weeks of 1884 vas 4l74
in 1888 was 4l06, and 1882 was 27Sl. The
general situation, on the whole, NAV be re-
garded as encouraging. The tide has evil
IDENTIFY turned in the matter of labor troubles,
and as these become settled one of the most
depressing business influences will be gradu-
ally removed. The almost certainty that the
tariff will not be disturbed at the present ses-
sion Of Congress is another favorable indica-
ton of reviving prosperity Boston Trar-
