THE RAILROADS.

This weeks issue OF the Railway Age
has an Interesting article on the receive
erEhps and foreclosures in the roads
for a half Of a year. II says; Receiv-
ere have had to be appointed for only
seven companies in the FIRST half of 1888,
with an aggregate mileage Of 81 miles
and a combined capital and bonded oept
Of $25,316,000. a comparison with tef-
mer years will show how small these
figures are;
In the frst half of 1898 there were
twenty-seVen roads In the hands OF a
receiver, with a mileage OF 5'2Ss miles.
In the first half Of the year following
the number Of rOadg had dropped 10
twenty-three, while they had 2,ssS miles.
In the first half Of the year 1898 there
were but eleven roaes, with mileage Of
200. In the first half of 1895 there
were eighteen roads, with a mileage OF
1888. In the Arst half OF 1897 there were
nineteen roads, with mileage Of 1874,
and the first half OF this year there
were but seven roads as has been
stated, and they have a mileage OF 81
miles.
Nothing could well show more strlk-
lnglS the change from the conditions
which have prevailed since the panic OF
1888 Among the companies which have
been compelled TO pass into the custody
OF the courts there has been none this
year Of any magnitude, the longest
mileage having been that OF the West
Virginia & Pittsburgh, with 1853 miles OF
road and some $7,5O0,00O Of stock and
debt combined.
Somewhat more formidable has been
the list OF lines sold under foreclosure
being the cleaning up Of the catastro-
Plies which marked the closing period
OF the spell OF hard times. The property
Of nineteen companies has been sold,
representing 2,314 miles OF line and
combined Capitalization and funded
debt OF $l10,077, 1853. By far the longest
item in the list is the Kansas (and Dem
yer) Pacific. with ~ miles OF line and
over &4S,OOO,OOO OF capital and bonded
debt. Next in Importance were the
Memphis & Charleston t2s2 miies) and
the Atchison. Colorado & Pacific (25b
miles,. These three companies between
them represent more than oRe-hat OF
the capital and bonds.
The number Of sales under foreclosure,
Of course, has little or no significance
as regards the financial conditions Of
the current period. They are only the
sequel Of what has gone before. The
number Of companies Of any magnt-
tude, however, which are now in recelv4
ers' hands is small, and there is a pros
pect that the wreckage Of these last FIVE
years will soon all be cleared away.

No. ii, on the Kanawha river, promises
TO have 1t finished SEQ that STEAMBOATS,
can go through 1t on the 10th. After
that date, Captain Williamson says, he
can go through to Charleston on the
Kanawha whenever there water enough
to get to PIT. Pleasant in the Ohio river
The Improvement Of the Kanawha river
means great deal to the steamboat tn-
terests.
The Kanawha had a difficult expert
ence in going up the river from Wheel
ing, and It was not known last night
whether she had succeeded in reaching
pittsburgh. At the Sisters Islands, i
was found necessary to use o block and
tackle, attached to a huge rock, In
pulling the boat over that very shoal
place In the river Unfortunately. the
rock which weighed probably three
tons was pulled into the channel and
may prove a bad obstruction for down
bound boats. The little steubenville
packet. II. NJ. Bayne, succeeded in get
ting around 1t yesterday morning ana
again later in the day on her up trip,
but she IS small boat compared With
