The report Of the Cleveland. Cincinnati. Chlca-
go and 81. Louis Railway Company for the fiscal
year ended June 80 shows results more encourage
ing than those presented n year ago OWING 10
the fact that for four months the operations
were against those from the Chicago Fair In the
previous year. the passenger earnings decreased
a little over 900. while the passenger-train
mileage on account Of new trains rendered neces-
sary By competition increased 3643S miles. so
that the earnings Of passenger trains per mile
decreased from 81 "a to 80 o. The freight earn
nings increased nearly 100000, but this large In
crease az well as the increase in passenger-train
mileage was made with slight reduction in the
cost OF conducting transportation.
The following table shows results for this year
compared with those for last year:
