LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

The approximate gross earnings Of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway for the third
week OF January and for the three weeks
ended January % reflect a slowing down
In the movement of traflc over the sys-
TEN. but this is usual in the first month
of a year and cannot be taken as indica-
tive OF more than seasonable falling off In
business in the territory the Seaboar"
traverses.
For the third week OF January gross
earnings increased 30 per cent; for three
weeks Of the month the increase amount
ed to $40 per cent. and for the fiscal
year to January @, an increase OF I.79
per cent IS shown.
This is not a bad showing when II Is
recalled that in the corresponding period
OF 1893 earnings increased compared with
1905. about 10 per cent, while thus far this
year the Increase has been 1l.79 per cent.
It is estimated that for the fiscal year
ended June 90 the gross earnings of the
Seaboard Air Line system as now cOnsu-
tuted. will exceed $20,00O0O0, against ST.

lie says:
In general. 1 think that we should try

allows first down when FIVE yards are
