showing as against that Of the same
month last year, IL significant. In
1905 the September earnings showed a
falling off of SIS per cent from the
corresponding month Of 1907. This
year there was gain in September.
or 1871 per cent over the 1907 record
The favorable showing last month
deserves further importance from the
fact that it was made in the face of
heavy shrinkage in the western grain
movement. The cotton movement was
somewhat heavier than last year. But
It IS conceded that on the whole the
improvement in the revenues OF the
railroads must be attributed to the
revival and activity OF general trade.
In the iron and steel industry, certain
iy, there has been marvellous activity
which means an increase In traffic In
various directions. with iron and steel
plants fully employed-there is an en-
ormous increase in the consumption
OF fuel involving very large shipments
Of coal and coke over the railroads.
There are also greatly enlarged ship
ments of iron ore-and the roads have
more to carry Of the finished products
OF iron and steel.
