An idea OF tho magnitude of the ~au-
road Interests of the country, stated TO bo
one-ifth of the total investments in all
businesses all over the land may be had
from summary made by Mathew
Marshall According To the latest iesuo
OF "Poor's Manual A" the ISL 600 miles Of
railroad in the United States, with their
accessories and their equipment. are
owned by companies which have ont.
standing capital stock to the nominal
amount of about S., $50, 600 coo; bonds for
80, $40, 600 600, ana floating debts of $3.50
OVo,OO0. Much Of tho stock has little
market value, but much of IL. also ,s
worth considerably more than a par.
OF the bonds, too while many millions
bear large premium, others ,ull tor loss
than their face value Assuming, however
that ON an average, the stock Is worth 80
cents on the dollar and tho bonds na7 ard
disrcgardiDg the floating debt altoge, her.
we have rs the value Of the countrv,s
railroad property, s., 59O Coo, 600 i'm stock
and 50 $40 000 900 in bonds. making to.
gether g, go 0o0 900 On this sum the
net amount paid in 1885 for interest ON
bonds was s9i0 0O0, 600, or about AZ pcr
cent and for dividends and rentals sl50-
ooo, OoO, or about 3 per cent on the nominal
value OF the stock and q per cent on It's
average market value. The magnitude
d the total investment will be better ap-
'rcciated when it is considered that u is
I've times as great as the entire national
undcd debt, and that the income derived
rom IL equals the total national revenue,
including postofrice receipts.
