Southern Railway Earnings

New York, November 24-(Special.) ) Continued testimony to the recovery of business in the south is borne by the weekly earnings of the Southern rail- way. Not only is the company regular ly reporting increases in weekly gross, but from the period from July to No- vember II gain in gross over the same period of last year of $31.240 is shown. To November loss of $751; TAG in gross was reported.
 At the current rate of improvement next month may see earnings back to the level of 1913, heretofore the best year in the history of the southern roads. If there is at present any doubt as to the stability of the betterment in southern business, recovery to the 1913 level ought to set skepticism at rest.
