last week
The earnings OF railroads In three weeks
of January were 80 per cent. larger than
last year. and only SO per cent. less than in
1893, and it is tho more encouraging that there
is a gain in tonnage of III per cent. ovsr
1898 IN Eastbound from Chicago, and larger
at indianapolis aud St. Louis as usual. The
stock market has been lifted by these re-
turns and hopeful monetary conditions, so
that the average for railroad stocks is s1.S4
per share, and for Trusts $1.S4 per share
higher than a week ago. The expectation of
an anthracite settlement has been a power
full factor. and it Is generally supposed that
prices will rise after the bond settlement.
