OF S&S',2l5,S52 for 1909 still leaves a de-
nmH,ehey noa 20 make up OF roughly SEQ .0o0.-
The gains In the year 1909 began in
u small way In january and continued
iiohth by month. At first the 1903 In
crehscs fell far short OF the 1908 de-
creaseS, but In the later months they
ran We'll ahead OF the previous losses. and
tnat Tact was all the more significant
since comparison then WAS with better
results in 1908
In December the increase was relative
iy small, being due largely TO special
adverse conditions OF weather and cold
and the switchmcn's strike.
The chief factor which Influenced the
great gain IN railroad gross revenues was
the revival In trade and the wonderful
activity which came the latter half of
tnr year In the iron and steel industry.
This had the effect OF increasing the
shipments of coal. Of ore and of finished
Gus ways added 10 the volume Of their
traffic.
As far as the agricultural tonnage of
the roads Is concerned, this did not tend
to swell the traffic OF the roads. In the
cotton movement. indeed, large falling
of occurred. The grain movement also
failed TO equal that OF the previous year.

large numbers oi companies have long
supplied monthly statements of their
own. Some of these differ in essential
respects from the returns required by
