 United States.

 The United States showed an increase of 1,479.995, while Europe gained $7,S26.- 091.

REPORT OF LIMANro1rR.
Account of the National Purchase of
 Railroad Shares.

AAAOdo 6udr0S.
 Mexico City, Sept. 2s.-The full text q, .hance minister Limantour's report to the President on the national nurchas. os aS raiiway shares is now made public. Tho report IS very large and enters into every phase or the governments relations to oi, FaiWays. The Minister says that +ha government is convinced that the con struction of parallel competing lines l.. Tar from the bepeficial to a generality of interests. oi
 It could only be Justified if the abund- anoe or rrelghts were sufficient to main tam two or more lines furnishing nrofts to shareholders, but as this condition ba @ nor arrived in Mexico rival interests building competing lines have lost money and thus capital needed for constructine lines into unopened regions has been wasted.
 In relation of national credit and pros- perity of railways the Minister says that nation suffers in its credit as a propit- lous held for investment of foreign cap- ital when thousands Of persons who buy shares or bonds Of great corporations like railways lose their money and 1t must not be forgotten that abroad a country's condition of prosperity is estimated bv the quotation of the bonds of it's public debt and It's railway securities. This is why we cannot remain indifferent to causes that may exercise an influence on investment of heavy amounts of capital in enterprises of this nature.
 The Minister than enters into explana- tions of the reasons for consummating the recent deal in railway stocks which have led to the governments becoming the predominant partner in the Mexican National, the Mexican International and Interoceanic railways. He says 1t be- came evidently necessary that the govern ment should take without delay a defi- mite attitude in the presence of the coali- ton of interests then imminent, before our great railway lines should become the property of the same persons.
