FALL STYLES IN FURNITURE,

On next Monday ,.October s, Downer & Edwards, the we'll known furniture house of 10l State rtreet, Bridgeport, are to hold their annual fall opening. This an- nouncement should receive more than a passing notice, for this season finds new and desirable goods on the market which it is a pleasure to look at eveu if you can't buy. The invitation for Monday is for every body and they expect large number to call and examine their stock, for they have a fine line of goods en- bracing the latest. The dining room ta- bles are endless in variety and artistic in design. They are made mostly of solid oak and sell all the way from $5.5O up. The design in chairs is leaving the straight back line and following more closely the Louis XIV or Rococo styles Sideboards are still.on the toboggan and handsome pieces sell as low as 12.5O and so on up as high as one's tastes and pocket book wish to go. The new wood in chamber suits is the curly birch and is very popular. Suits sell from $2O up. Downer & Edwards also carry a large line of antique oak suits, which never grow old style. For parlor furniture Mahogany upholstered with silk broca- telle seems to be the proper thing. In carpets and curtains the firm have a large stock to select from. Visitors at this store receive uniformly courteous treat men which, when combined with the stock they carry, has won them an envi- able position among furniture houses of the state.

A writer, II. T. Newcomb, in the October Forum, makes the following rather startling statements in regard to the decline of railroad dividends. He says: "The ratio of return to invested capital stock of railroad companies has declined with great rapidity during the last 20 years. In 1871, with 44,614 miles of railway, the dividends paid averaged $1,265 per mile of line; ill 1882, with 107, ,l5S miles, dividends were only $952 per mile; while in 1893, with 176, ,461 miles, dividends had declined to an aver age of $572 per mile. Comparing the years 1883 and 1892, 1t is found that the mileage of the latter year was 55 per cent greater than than of the former, the gross earnings 45 per cent greater, and the net earnings 20 per cent greater :; but the aggregate sum paid in dividends had actually declined more than 20 per cent. The decline in the average amount of dividends per mile of line equalled AS per cent of the average of 1883" As to the appalling financial condition of much railroad property throughout the United States, he further adds: "During the decade from the beginning of 1884 to the end of 1893, 74,34S miles of rail- way, operated by 31l independent cor porations, and capitalized at $3 1858, ,371, ,- 900, passed from the control of stock holders into that of receivers. Of this total, 29,47G miles GAO per cent of the mileage), capitalized at 1,75S, ,S36, ,000 GAG per cent of capitaD, was placed in charge of receivers during the year ending December 31, 1893. The entire railway mileage operated by receivers on that date was 4o,279, and the par value of it's stocks and bonds $2 ,217 ,656,- GOO, constituting 23 per cent and 2l per cent respectively of the total railway mileage and capital in the United States. During 1893, 25..railways operating l,6l3 miles of road, and represented by $79,- 924, ,00o of capital stocks and bonds, were sold under foreclosure, while the number thus sold during eighteen years from 1876 to 1893 inclusive was 511, their aggregate length 57, ,2s3 miles, and their capitalization $3,2o9, ,12e,O00. The crop of foreclosures that must inevitably follow the enormous number of receiver ships created during 1893 is not yet ready for harvest. When it's data be- come available they will afford an ap- palling presentation of the financial condition of large portion of our railway system"
