RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Richmond. Va, September T. 1891
As predicted by US, Railroad Earnings
have for some time shown steady I'M
creases. Each week brings larger gains.
1t Is well to bear I'm mind that from
August 1. 1896, until the presidential cleo
tion business grew more and more de-
morallzed. and Railroad Earnings fell ON
gradually.
To-day the financial atmosphere is sim
gularly free from clouds. Wheat exports
for the week are almost without parallel
Tonnage is enormous; the roads are
pressed TO handle their business. Heavy
orders for new cars are being placed.
Earnings. gross and net, promise TO sur
pass the most sanguine expectations.

probable increased dividends, foreign

and eighty. The financial loses foot
up oyer l50,000,000 marks. At Pillnitz

Saxony was flooded, forcing the king
and queen to fee from the place and
seek refuge at Dresden. Prince Hohen-
lohs, the imperial chancellor. who was
then on his way from his estate at
Aussss to Berlin, had to leave the train
