He Tells How the Mexican Central
is Getting Along.


At the recent meeting of the stock
holders of the Mexican Central railway
at Boston. A. A. Robinson of this city
was re- elected director. Mr.. Robinson
is also president of the road, and as such
presided at the meeting.
In his address to the stockholders Mr..
Robinson made some very interesting
statements. In reviewing the roads
business of the past and its prospective
future, he held the view that the outlook
for the coming year was favorable, de-
spite the fact of the decline in the price
of silver. and the serious falling off in
business in the republic of Mexico as
well as in the United States. There
was, however, very excellent increase
in the local earnings of the railway, and
with the appreciation of sugar the rail-
way would be upon a sound footing and
able to compete with any corporation in
the world.
The number of contracts was growing
larger, their increase placing the rail-
way upon a firm basis, with the outlook
that before loug, whatever the price of
sugar, it will be able to compete with the
lines of the world Cotton, iron and cop
per they had always with them They
had been able to operate their road
for about 50 per cent of the gross earn
ings, which would compare favora-
bly, with the operating expenses of any
similar railway.
