THE CENTRAL'S SHOWING.
Comment OF a London Paper On Its
Fine Condition.

The Central now has a concession to
build line from Guadalajars to Coli
ma, the district to be traversed being
well populated, offering business, and
with a favorable outlook. Should this
extension be constructed, as appears
probable. the company will possess
north aod south line through the CEN
ire of Mexico from the United States
TO Mexico City. and another running
east and west from Tampico, on the
Mexican Gulf, practically to the
Pacific coast. The great agri
cultural and industrial development
of Mexico is bringing q corresponding
growth in the earnings of the rail way.
Indeed, he'd it not been for the great
fall in the price of silver of the pastfew
years the line would now be showing
q large profit. In 1892, before the fall
in silver occurred, it's gross earnings
we're barely sS.OOO,O0 or not much
more than one-hslf of what they have
been for the past II months. But
whereas in 1892 the loss in exchange
was less than SO, 900. 900, it may reach
over as, 600, 900 in 1899. Fortunately,

WONDERFUL SHOWING.
More Than $500 Miles OF New Rail-

rOdd-EdCh States Ratio
More than $500 miles of new railroad
will have been built in the United
States during the year which ends on
December 81 next, according to the
preliminary estimate of the Railroad
Gazette from returns N abe by a large
number of railroads. This estimate is
only preliminary; however,
and the complete figures
to be gathered later will
probably somewhat increased this to-

for the year, according to estimates
and facts alre ady at hand, is 1869 miles
built by PSI companies. This is re-
markable revival in railroad building,

for the four years from 1894 to 1897,
inclusive, was only about 1000 miles
1866, or about SO per cent more
than in the preceding years.
The state which takes the lead in
new railroad building Is Iowa, with a
total of 500 miles. Next come Mime
