OCTOBER RAILWAY EARNINGS.
New York TimesO

New York Times.l
The Improvement in railroad business
II the country. which began carly last
month. IS developing with an encourag-
luz yigor The more recent reports OF
earnings indicate that Octoer will he II
rad-letter month for many Of the West-
ern roads In several instances the earn
ings reported for the first two weeks Of
the presert month are actually In e1-
cess OF the earnings of the same roads
in the corresponding period last year.
And last October be- II remembered. WAS
an uneommonlS prosperous month for
railroads.
The Chicago, Milwaukee AMI st. Paul
railroad Which has had It's share Of mis-
fortune this year. appears 10 bc leading
the way back into the region of prosper
ity Its gross earnings for me second
week In this month were SSH $50, an
increase of S5J,BTO over the gross earn
ings of the same period of last year.
The Missouri. Kansas and Texas road
follows close upon st. Paul's heels by
reporting an increase in earnings for the
second week of October of Sl21T5. Tile
Evansville and Tcrre Hauie shows in-
crea sed earnings for the same period of
SS6pO, and the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern earnings for the second
week of this month were sligo In excess
of the figures reported for the CORES
pNuulNe PERIOD INST year.
a comparative statement of the earn
iugs Of l1ry-one roads for the first week
in October published in the Financial
CHRONICLE, shows THAI the percentage Of
loss was 5.SO This Is much less than
the percentage of loss shown In the rail-
road earnings for the fourth week of
September, and the figures for the sec-
Und week Of this month will probably
cut the percentage of decreased earn
sTafr .gfHl Ft,1shnt.
road that has reported its earnings for
the second week of October makes q
better showing thnn for any previous
week since the lSt Of July. A number Of
roads are gsieddily-cycn rapidly-veering
over from the decreased eornings' col
umn TO the Increased earniugs' col
umn. The st. Louis Southwestern, for
instance, reports gross earnings for the
second week of this month amounting
to SOL 100. rs against S11O,T0O for the
same period last year. This decrease
of $4,000 is the smallest decrease shown
in weekly earnings of fiat particular
road since the second week in July.
The Denver and RIO Gnnde system
Is also gradually reaping the fruits of
better times. In the fourth week Of
September it suffered loss of SGG.3OO
as compared with It's business for the cor
responding period of last year. Its loss
in the second week of October was but
$50, BOD. At the annual meeting of the
Denver and Rio Grande stockholders in
Denver a day or two ago, Mr.. George
'Coppel, of New York, chairman of the
board OF directors, made the cheering
announcement that there were signs of
better business conditions IN Colorado
which must necessarily be of advantage
20 the railroad. The same encouraging
assurances come from along the line of
the Atclrison, the Union Pacific, Great
Northern, Missouri Pacific and the Rock
Island roads.
