Railroad earnings. both gross and net,
show Improvement, particularly in net.
Moderate crops, producing a traffic not ex-
cessiye in proportion to the improved
facilities of the railroads, would be a real
boon, by permitting more economical
operation of the railroads than was pos
sible last year. The efforts now being
made to reduce the detention of cars on
side tracks should also materially add to
the ability of the railroads to handle
traffic. Agitation against railroad cor
porations seems TO be lessening somewhat,
and the attitude of the public and the
press toward them to be more friendly.
