the 1898 crop there were shipped from here
1876 bags. OF the 1883 crop there We're

quotations IN The second column are for
Saturday last. There has been a slight
decline in prices since then, but the diff
ference is net material.
We said the other day, in discussing
this subject that the increase in the price
of stocks was due to the fact that the
railroads have greatly increased their
earnings since 1896. Let US give a few
illustrations.
The gross earnings of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway Company for the fiscal
year 1s9s-'a7 We're slo.7oS1Ss; for the fiscal
year ISa7-'as. al.7sS,;ss7: for the fiscal wear
1sos- 80. $50; for The fiscal year 1897
$685. s1s.4oe,G7a The earnings of this road
have increased enormously of late and
each week is a record breaker 1t is not
surprising. in view of these facts, that the
stock OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road has doubled in value in four years.
Now let us take the Norfolk and
Western Road. The gross earnings of
that road for the fiscal year 1896 So were
about sl0.o1e.oao: for the fiscal year 1Ss7-9S
they were sII.2s6. lsS. for the fiscal year
1883 they were sia,s27, 1879; for the fiscal
year lsas-laeo they were f1s.oai. geo As
with the Chesapeake and Ohio. so also
with the Norfolk and Western, each weeks
earnings show large increase oyer the
earnings OF last year.
Look asain AT the earnings of the
Southern Railway Company. For the fiscal
year 1850 they were sla,o7s, 500: for the
fiscal year iss7-'ss they were sal. oa5. $50: for
the fiscal year 1925 SO they were SIS s5s, ss6;
for the fiscal year lSss-lsoe they were $751;
2po.s6s The Son1hern's earnings also show.
large increase from week to week over.
the enormous earnings of last year, and
the probability is that the earnings this
year Will be very nearly double wha. they
were in 1886.
Railroads in other parts of the country
show the same gratifying Increase in earn
fngs, which means that the general busi-s
ness OF the country has increased at an
enormous rate since 1895. In spite OF the.
fact that our free silver friends declared
in those days that there could De no pros;
per1ty under the gold standard.
