RAILROADS SHOW A
CONTINUED FALLING
OFF IN EARNINGS
Income Reduced More Than
$6,000,000 in First Week
of September = Cotton
Roads Hard Hit By
Slump.

With few exceptions, gross earnings OF
the railroads in the United States for the
first week of September continued to show
decreases compared with the same period
last year Moderate Improvement Is
shown by some roads, but the leading
systems of the country are generally
below their last years figures. The fall
ing Off during the first week of Septem-
Der was &c. 49l, ,139. or 81 per cent.
The roads showing Improvement are the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville,
Minneapolis and st. Louis, Denver and
Rio Grande. Western Pacific, and Mobile
and Ohio The unusually light movement
of cotton. which is generally great fac
tor in the freight business of the rail-
roads of the South, has adversely affected
the earnings of the cotton roads.
To this can be attributed, in large
measure, the smaller earnings of the
Louisville and Nashville, Cincinnati, New
Orleans and Texas, Southern and some
other larger systems. Losses in the West
and Southwest are not as large as form
erly, in some instances and indications are
for improvement, notably in Colorado and
Southern, Missouri Pacific, and Missouri
Kansas and Texas.
The following table gives the gross earn
ings of all railroads In the United States
reporting to Dun's Review for the first
week of September. and the loss as COM
pared with the earnings of the same roads
for the corresponding period year ago;
also the roads that reported for the same
week in the preceding months, together
with the percentages of loss compared
with last year:
