the subject Of interested investigation
upon the part Of financial men. It is the
general belief that the recent increase of
earnings. great though it be, will be sur
passed in the future. a few Richmond
people have seen recently a statement of
the earnings Of the road out of Richmond
as compared with last year that is the
most remarkable thing in the way of in
creases that has been seen for some time,
the Chesapeake and Ohio increase in earn
ings from coal traffic not excepted 1t
will be made public some day.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1901-03-24

It is proper to mention in connection
with this subject that the increase of the
Seabcard's business out OF Richmond has
been accomplished without the decrease
of earnings of the other roads out of Rich
,nond. 1t means simply that the road is
bringing new business to this city.
