Estimated earnings of the Southern
Railway for the third week In April,
according TO a statement issued yes
terday by Comptroller Plant, showed
q decrease of s202702. as compared
with the corresponding period Of last
year Although railroad men have
been looking forward to increased trait
fic and increased receipts. the weekly
figures issued by many of the leadinS
transportation companies do not justly
the hopeful statements.
New York Central officials say that
traffic is now less than at any time
since the business depression began.
No visible sign OF coming improve
ments is In view. Reports show that
coal traffic is all but Frustrated: on
the Danville division of the Chicago.
Indiana and Southern, particularly
where it forms a very large part of
the total traffic, the shipment is at a
standstill because of the shutting down
of the Illinois mines. 1t is on the pro-
gram for the coal operators of the
Middle Western States to resume oper-
ations on May lst One favorable fea-
ture OF the present situation is that
expenses are being held down better
than at any time in ten years.

Reports from the Northwest are more
optimistic. an official of the Chicago
and Northwestern being quoted yester-
day as follows:
Our merchandise business has been
gaining week BY week. and, while 1t
Is off 10 to Is per cent as compared
with a year ago. 1t Is slightly ahead
Of two years ago, which is a fairer
comparison.
Commodities are moving slowly and
will, probably, until the steel market
revives. The grain traffic is pretty
much out of the way until the next
crops come. There is some live stock,
but the bulk OF that movement is over.
We have led our competitors in live
stock tonnage the past two years. Wool
is very light this spring, but that bus
mess has merely gone forward until
the fall.
The lumber business is in the dumps.
There is no coal movement to speak
Of. Crop prospects are excellent, in
the sense that the farmers are fully
UP to date with their work, and
weather conditions are fine. Public
feeling is better than II was.
Our new line from Pierre to Dead
wood is filling up with settlers. Last
week we took in 500 car loads of emil
grant movables. It is an agricultural
country. which will raise enough this
year to supply its own needs and will
give us q big tonnage next season.
Operating conditions have been eN-
cellent, but expenses do not come
down. l believe class rates can be ad
Ssnced materially, and that 1t is bet
ter to try 1t out than cut the wages.

Corscts ana Figures.

The folds of the new frocks arc
draped SO closely about the figure that
not only must the lingerie be most
carefully tailored. but the corset also
must be perfectly cut and fitted.
prominent dressmaker says: "a
good corset is the short cut to the
fashionable figure" There are in
Vulnerable good corsets-ready made
and built to order-to be had, for the
corset makers are quick to feel the
impending changes in the world OF
fashion and never are behind hand in
having model ready on the lines OF
the latest figure. Therefore 1t is a
simple matter to find corsets which
really do all they claim in giving the
slender. wtllowy lines which are so
fashionable.
The corset makers use various
methods to get rid of that annoying
superfluous flesh which gathers around
the hips. In some corsets It Is
smoothed down. away from the waist
and taken care of by the extension OF
the corset, which reaches almost to the
knee In an unboned material. I'm other
models the flesh Is lifted and nodded
into the waistline in front, where the
corsets are built out into almost a
curve to accommodate 1t.
