RAILROAD INVESTMENTS.

Within the last five years, the yearly
try has averaged barely 1900 miles; while,
for the ten previous years. the yearly in
crease averaged 7,400 miles. The current
rate of railroad construction is thus far
below the ratio of increase in commerce.
II is true that the earnings of the roads
have fallen very low; but it is also true
that prices have fallen proportionately,
and also that their receipts are now be-
ginning to show material increase, in
sympathy with the recovery of general
business.
These facts seem to mark out railroad
securities as form of investment des-
tined to receive a special preference until
prices have reached point that will
bring their yield to about parity with
that of the investments which are now
suffering in productiveLess. This drift
ia clearly indicated, say Clews & Co. in
their weekly market review, in the fact
that Europe has, within the last three
months, taken some $4,000, 900 of our
railroad Investments alone. That extra
ordinary movement can not be regarded
as merely, or in any important sense
speculative; for the net export of shares
previous to last week has probably NOT
exceeded $5,O0O,O00, the remainder hav-
ing been new issues of railroad bonds.
The fact of Europe having made these
new Investments, is attributable, In the
tirst place, to the current preference for
railroad securities prevailing there as
we'll as here, and also to the fact that the
amount of railroad capital in this coun-
