RAIN'RAILROADS'
EARNINGS SWELL
LOSS ON COAL SWALLOWED UP
BY GAIN ON GRAIN.
Loss on Cotton in the South Overset by
General Gains-Only Three Of Fifty
six Roads Report Losses as Com
pared with April, 1905-Northern
Roads Lead in Gains. -

Railroad gross earnings for April, as
compiled by the Financial Chronicle,
show an increase that is remarkable in
view of the suspension of coal mining
and the consequent heavy decrease in
both anthracite and bituminous coal
traffic. The compilation comprises
tifty-six roads and the aggregate earn
ings are $52 ,409,705, as compared with
$40, ,0l2 for the same roads in 1905.

an increase in gross over April 1904 Of
So. l03,262 or 81 per cent.
Tho northern transcontinental roads
made the greatest gains, these roads be-
ing little affected by, the mining diff
culties. Canadian Pacific led the list
with an increase Of $1,266,00O, and
Great Northern followed with an in
crease Of $925,oe5. A portion of these
roads, may have been due to- an in
crease in the grain movement, for
western grain receipts aggregated &c.

averaged over 100000 a month.
The Southern roads, considered col

in April 1905. overland shipments be-
ing 9S,784 bales, as compared with
173,551 bales in the same month last
year. Neverthe less these roads showed
marked Improvement. The Southern
railway made the third greatest gain
on the list, adding $484,155 to it's total
Of last year; Louisville and Nashville
is next in line with a gain of 1887 sol !;
and Illinois Central follows closely
with a gain of $3l8,O9S.
Three of the f1fty-six roads reported
losses. Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts
burg, on account of the stoppage of
mining in the soft coal fields, fell
$354,326 behind it's gross for April,
1905. Probably for the same reason
Wheeling and Lake Erie sustained a
loss Of SIS, 430. The other road re-
porting loss was Missouri, Kansas

GRAIN RATES HOLD
Railroads Decide Not to Make Usual
Spring Reduction.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, May 16.-Altho the lake
strike is ended and the steamships have
again become a factor in the rate sit
uation in the east, the railroads have
decided not to reduce the rates on ex-
port grain from Chicago to Atlantic
seaports to meet the competition of the
water route. They say there is no grain
moving and that a reduction in rates is
unnecessary.
For years it has been the annual Gus
tom to reduce the rates on grain east
Of Chicago at the opening Of naviga-
ton. This year the threatening labor
situation delayed the reduction. The
strike came and the railroads said they
would wait until peace was declared.
Peace has come and the rates have not
yet been reduced.
The railroad men now say that the
prices on grain in Chicago are too high
to permit any movement for export and
that rates are not interfering with the
export movement.
