RAILROAD EARNINGS
EXCEED LAST YEAR
Nearly Ten Per Cent Gain Over Pre-
vious December.

Gross earnings Of all railroads in the
United States reporting for December
are S55,055. 763. a gain of 9.5 per cent
over last year, and 16.5 per cent over
1900. The report includes many lead
ing roads. AMI shows q remarka bly,
heavy increase in tonnage There IS u
very large gain in the last half of the
month. which may be due to the rush
OF traffic incident to the then pending
increase in rates. Southern and Central
Western roads, also trunk lines. now
including New York Central. report the
largest gains over last year. and these
roads are perhaps most concerned in She
high rates. There is also a considerable
gain IN the earnings on Southwestern
and Pacific roads, though in the frst
half OF the month Southwestern roads
report scarcely any difference. owing
TO the loss in earnings reported by some
OF the leading systems The loss in the
earnings Of the few granger roads re-
porting is not especially significant.
Earnings Of all roads reporting for the
month, separated by classes. are given
below, compared with last year:

Railroad List.

In the railroad list no stock has 50
much speculative value as Southern Pa
cif1c. and the time is almost ripe for
an advance Of phenomenal proportions.
The earnings of the road are enormous;
its physical condition excellent, due to
the fact that all of its earnings for
years have been devoted to betterments.
and the road is operated under almost
perfect practical management.
There Is a strong minority of stock
holders which cavors the distribution Of
a part OF the net earnings as dividends.
and this minority apparently is gaining
ground Should this road be put on
dividend basis it would quickly sell at
par, or at least on a parity with the
Union Pacific.
Another strong railroad stock. which
is sanirg below its value. is Southern
preferred. It's earnings are steadily In
ereasing, and It is believed the pre-
ferred stock is on a safe . per cent

OPTIMISM NOW RULES
IN THE STOCK MARKET
Prices Have Advanced Throughout the List Since
the First Week in December.

In December just one month ago.
prices were at their lowest, and "a panic
was imminent Money was demanding
high rate and liquidation Of stocks
was general A wave of pessfmism
engulfed the country, and the message
Of the President, which sounded the
first note of the healthy condition of
the national affairs, did not stop the
downward course of prices.
But to thinking persons it Indicated
che actual underlying strength Of all
business so that when the bankers pool
was organized, confidence speedily re-
turned. the wave OF pessimism gave
way before a food of optimism, which
IT, still lowing on with increasing force.
Due to Speculation.
Prices have advanced in all stocks
since the first week in December, any
where from S to 20 points, and money
has gone down from 20 to 3 pei. cent.
This increase in prices is largely due
to speculative. and in a measure to the
outside or investment. demand for
stocks. But the advance has been so
rapid that the question naturally arises
how much farther viii this movement
go?
Pools which were dormant or strug-
Cling for existence in November and
December have become vigorous and
are evidently stronger than ever This
is apparent in Rock Island In Decem-
Der the common stock was down 20 33Jz
the other day it sold at 53I5, and enor-
nous lots were traded IN at the ad-
vance Of 1885 points. The pool in Erie
has advanced its stock 1919 points, in
illinois Central 1873; in Louisville and
Nashville 14M; in Missouri Pacific IA
points, with the dividend Of 21a per. cent
of; ia Reading IS points; in Southern
Pacific y points. and in Union Pacific
10 points.
Advances Marvellous.
These rapid advances are marvellous
and the prudent investor will think Sc
Fiously before purchasing. The time IS
approaching when gold will be exported.
That time begins about the 1st Of Feb
ruary. and brings about the liquidation
Of stocks bought for the January rise.
This year it may be different. because
in the meantime English buying Of
American stocks may set IN, and In
stead Of exporting gold America will re-
ceive it. But this chance is remote. and
England instead Of buying has recently
been selling.
Nevertheless, even though prices have
substantially advanced there is no rea-
son TO believe that they are fictitious
The purpose here is to call attention to
a period which recurs every year. and
which IS precipitated b. the banks in
increasing the money rate. and calling
loans which are so freely made nov at
