VI N. Brown, president of the National Railways of Mexico. who is in this city, says that these parties have recovered from the effect of the revolution and that business is going on now just as It was before the movement started to over- throw President Diaz.
 "Our business even shows normal in- crease over year ago." says MT. Brown' 'and that was a year of exceptionally good business. There has been no change in the organization of the National Rail ways of Mexico or in it's rules and meth eds.
 "In the revolution property belonging to inc National railways was damaged to the extent of about sl,ooo,ooo All this damage has been repaired, the trestles burned or blown up replaced in a per .nanent manner and we are going ahead with the construction of new branch lines At present five are under way. One runs from Durango west, about 5s miles. An ether extends from Canitas to Durango, about 1So miles The third runs from Peniimo to Ajuno. in the state of Mich oacan. a distance of about S4 mics The
 
 Cruz and Isthmus road. which is entire ly owned by the National, one running to Coasaoapan. near the gulf coast and the other to San Andres Tuxtla. With the exception ot the Canitas-Durango line all are expected to be in operation on or before April 1.
 Business along the road Is normal. Taking a period of 20 years, the average increase year has been 10 to 12 per cent. In the last few months we have been having a normal increase in our earnings In some districts. business is better shan normal, while others have not quite got back, but the average Is all right. - | q do not think there is the least doubt l not only that the present government will be stable, but that the trouble that may now exist in outlying districts will be suppressed There are two companies of bandits out one in the state of Morelos, in the south of Mexico, and the other in Sonora In those localities the coun- | try is such that a gang of 800 men might | maintain themselves for months without being dislodged and simply play hide and seek with an army The government l forces are chasing them, but 1t may take some little time to corral them, so many are the hills and ravines.
 Tn Mexico City things are going on as usual, and there is no evidence that there was a revolution. As matter of fact. 1t wasn't a revolution that took place, | but an evolution. Madero simply headed l n movement that was popular and so widespread that nobody in the capital knew to what extent it has gained force. He is a good man, of course.
 ''There is some question whether his term will be for six years or whether he | will be considered as elected to fill the un- expired term that began last December
 We have just finished receiving a large supply of new engines and passen- ger and freight cars. They are An1~'i- can made, and we hope that those we have bought in the last year or so are quito up to the best modern railroad equipment.
 Why doesn't the stock market dc somethinC?' brokers are asking impa' t'ently. These fractional movem / Is from day to day to not stir up enthusiasm The public might respond to 5-poin movement ilp or down. but gains or loss
 es of half point day do not appea
 to the imagination. Since October orere' , the railroad division has finished lowe on five occasions and higher nine times
 with net gain of less than two po'hts, T
 Is suspected that good deal of stoc'
 has Teen unloaded during the last weel ) from influential quarters. Yet the ex
 traordinarly light demand for money ol : the rars of commission houses suggest ' that the public has not bought In an l ecnsif,era ;lle f,,1.ntity What. therefore
