A BAD YEAR FOR THE RAILROADS


The railroad statistics of 1891, given in
the advance sheets of Poor's Manual
show what a hard year It was for the
roads, and-slnce when they suffer all
other interests suffer likewlse-what a
hard year 1t was for the whole country.
As compared with 1893 the number Of
miles of road operated increased 2,O0O
but the gross earnings fell off $142, ,OOO. goo
The roads were as economical as they
possibly could be- They bought nothing
they could do without They made no
repairs which We're not absolutely neccs-
sary. And yet their net earnings fell off
$42,OODOOO. or nearly 12 per cent They
carried S2.0OO,O0O less tons OF freight ana
to make matters worse they got for what
they did carry a trlhe less per ton per
miie than in 1898. For the hard times
did not check that downward tendency
IN rates watch has reduced them nearly
one-third since 1882 While the number
of tons carried last year fell off nearly
II per cent, the freight earnings were
over 10 per cent less.
The passenger business suffered also.
The number OF persons carried was over
forty-tlve millions less than in the pre-
ceding year, The total number carried
was 5S millions, and the passenger earn
ings were 2Ii millions, This seems a
large srln, but the earnings were So
millions in excess of that sum in 1893
The net earnings OF the roads and their
receipts from other sources-borrowed
money for in' tance--made up total OF
4l9 millions on the other hand the fixed
charges amounted to 2S5 millions for in
terest and hundred millions for rentals.
tolls, and miscellaneous expenses. That
left 20 millions but the dividends paid
amounted to S5 millions. This means
that interest and rentals were not paid
In fun Elghty-tlve million dollars is a
large sum, but II does not go Ear towards
paying satisfactory dividend on capi-
tai stock the full value of which is 5000
millions Of dollars. AS matter OF fact
the owners OF 60 per cent OF the railroad
share capital OF the country, received no
return whatever ON their investments.
This Is the largest per centage of I'M
profitable stock In any year on record.
II is true that a great deal OF this
stock Is pure water, II represents moth
ing. II should pay no dividends. But
those Nho hold Il have sometimes receiv-
ed dividends In the past and they wish to
In the future. In 1882 the average rate
OF dividends was 2,9i per cent, Last year
II was only l.6l. These figures serve to
explain why such determined effort
was made last winter TO force through
congress the bill to legalize pooling. That
measure had behind Il the holders OF
e0Oo millions In capltat stock, 65 per cent
OF which paid nothing. and OF 5,G65 mil

1t might naturally be supposed that
hygiene, combined with the reformatory
efforts Of considerable percentage OF
the American people, would result in di-
minishing the consumption of tobacco,
but federal statistics indicate that the
habits of smoking and chewing must be
steadily extending, for the quantity of to-
bacco manufactured into cigars, cigar
cites, or put up for sale in various other
forms steadily becomes greater. During
the month of July there were manufac-
tured in the United States 3G5, 726,6H ci-
gars, 3O5, ,15O, 1850 cigarettes 22057,4i pounds
of tobacco, and more than one million
pounds of snuff. During the same period
last year the number of cigars manufac-
tured was two million less than the total
given; of cigarettes there were not so
many last year as this by quite half a
million; of tobacco, the output in July,
1894, was smaller by 100000 pounds than
in July, 1895. The figures are interesting,
and will doubtless attract attention. 1t
is difficult to believe that the evident in
crease has taken place in the regular
course of trade; there may be some spe-
clal demand which has resulted in the
extremely extensive output in July OF
this year.
