UNEQUALLED CONDITIONS.
The Railroads Enjoying Prosperity in
Another Respect.

New York, Dec. 22.-The prosperity
which the railroads throughout the
country are now enjoying is in one re-
spect different from any period of pros
perity which railroads have enjoyed in
the past. Railroad officials generally
agree that the rate situation in all Sec
tions of-the country is in better con-
dition than ever before. The scheduled
tariffs are being almost universally
maintained, while there is practically
no cutting of rates by any of Inc rail-
roads. Never before has the rate sit
uation throughout the country appear
ed so perfect, and this is generally con-
sidered one of the main reasons of the
excellent showing of earnings which
the railroads have made during the
last year The railroads have enjoyed
many periods of prosperity in the past,
but in practically every instance this
prosperity has been interrupted by
rate disturbances.
Since 1895 there has been a steady
improvement in the rate conditions
throughout the country, until at pres
ent it is reported by railroad officials
in several sections of the country as
being almost ideal. Determinations in
rates have been almost wholly abolish
ed. and the scheduled tariffs are being
maintained as never before. This is
considered not only one of the main
causes of the excellent earnings, which
the railroads are now reporting, but
one of the strongest reasons for the be-
lief tnat the prosperity the railroads
are enjoying will continue, with tenn
porary reactions, for an indefinite
period.
There are a number of causes for
the excellent rate conditions. One of
the reasons why rates are being so uni
formly maintained is the large amount
of traffic offered the railroads, which
gives no incentive for cutting rates.
The community of interest movement.
whereby the greater proportion of the
railroad mileage of the country has
been brought under the control of a
few groups of financiers, also has been
a powerful factor in clearing up the
rate situation. Through this movement
many of the smaller and weaker roads,
which were continually cutting rates
in the attempt to secure traffic from
their stronger competitors, have been
absorbed.
Another favorable factor is that dur
ing the last few years there has been
little or no competitive railroad build
ing. While the new mileage that has
been constructed has aggregated con-
siderable amount it has been composed
almost wholly of short branches and
extensions.
While il can hardly be hoped that
rate disturbances have been forever
eliminated from the railroad industry
it is believed by many prominent rail-
road officials that the developments
pointed out have wrought such a revo-
luton that any such general disturb
ance of rates as occurred in 1881 and
1890 have been made impossible in the
future so strong are the allied roads
which are against the practice.
