Significant Figures.

In the last issue of Bradstreet there appeared
some very significant figures. These figures
show the earnings and debts per mile of ninety
roads for the last eleven months, as compared
with the same eleven months of 1885 and 1884.
For the eleven months their gross earnings We're
total of $199, 68l. sos on the 43 844 miles, or an
average of 81, $50 per mile. against Sl9l 668, 341
Al, $40 miles, 81, 57S per mile in 1884. Here
we have a decrease OF $28 per mile in gross earn
ings. and as it is well known that labor strikes,
rate-cutting and competition generally
have reduced the percentages Of net earn
ngs this year, it is safe to say that the net
earnings of the Western roads for 1886 have ave-
ragged at least per cent. smaller out of the gross
than they did in 1884 This would imply de-
crease of from $40 $50 mile in net earn
ings as compared with 1884. The funded debts
of the ninety roads in 1886 at the average
rate per mile of $50 3l2 against 800 7l3 in 1884,
being increase of 81, 500 per mile Counting
interest at per cent. this would imply an in
crease of $73 of interest per mile for the eleven
months over the same eleven months of 1884
Add this TO the decrease of net earnings and IL
makes near 1925 per mile or an aggregate of over
