The Atchison's Profits,

OF all the Granger's, the Atchison has
certainly shown the greatest recuperative
power says the Wall Street News. This
is quite natural, because its period of most
rapid extension was followed by short
crops. Now that the expenses of new con-
struction have ceased altogether the com
pany is beginning to receive the benefit of
earnings on lines constructed Two or three
years ago. Ii is said that last month the
increased receipts of the Boston Office Were
more than q million and quarter in excess
OF the income for the same month last year.
The weekly and monthly statements show
that money IS coming in much faster than
is necessary 10 meet the fixed charges, and
as the interest on the incomes is not al
justed until the end of the year, it must be
apparent TO all that whatever floating debt
the Atchison is carrying can be handled
wife great ease. In fact, we shall think
that the Atchison ought now to be able to
pay all bills very promptly.
