Gratifying Railroad Earnings.

The interesting statement last Thurs
day by Vice President Axtell as TO the
record breakng earnings Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway last month. TO-
pether with the statements issued by
other systems. indicates very clearly that
there is a general revival OF business.
Last December the earnings Of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio were Si0l5.92i.S2, which
was an increase over 1895 of SS6,SO7. The
gross earnings OF the Big -Four were
81. z0l. G07 II. showing an increase of S2,
1898. phc Louisville and Nashville
shows an increase OF $4,000. and so on
all along the line. Even the Peoria and
Eastern Division, which has all along
been showing heavy decreases, DID much
better than IL has done for years. and its
statement shows falling off Of only
$50 ~
These figures are significant, irasmuch
as the railroads are generally regarded
as a barometer by which the condition
Of business may be accurately gagged
when general business is good, railroad
earnings increase, and when II is bac
they al once show the effects Of the de-
pressiOn.
