Governmental
CONTROL OF The
WORLD RAILWAYS

Suggestions of government control
OF the railways of the United States
during the war. now being made by
officials Of the government at Wash
ington. lend interest to compilation
BY The National City Bank of New
York showing government control or
ownership of the railways throughout
the world. It shows that about one
third of the railways of the world are
owned or controlled by the govern
rnents of the respective countries or
states in which they operate, and that
IN Europe, Asia, Africa and the Br1-
tish colonies more than one-half OF
the line are government owner or
controlled: In some cases, notably
Germany and Australia he railways
are chiefly the property of the states
OF Subdivisions forming the general
government in others they are the d.
rect property Of the government. In
Germany over 80 per cent of the rail-
ways are classed as government or
state railways; Austria-Hungary, 81
per cent: Russia, II per cent; Italy
70 per cent; Switzerland SO per cent;
the Scandinavian states "A per cent,
and France at present II per cent,
while other parts of her system have
been built in part or whole by the
Huvernment and are operated by rail-
way companies. and will later revert
30 the government. OF Europe, as a
whole "a per cent, of the railway
lines are classed as state or govern
mental railways, Asia 70 per cent,
Africa IS per cent, South America
per cent, and North America, but
per cent In Australia 80 per cent
belong to the colonies which form the
commonweaIth of Australia, in New
Zealand SO per cent. are government
tai. India so per cent and the British
colonies as a whole 55 per cent, while
those of Great Britain none are own
sd BY the government, though the
entire system is now temporarily con-
trolled by the government for war
purposes. In Canada about per cent.
Of the railways are government own
ed In China portions of the rail-
ways are being constructed under
agreements which will finally make
them government property, and in
Japan 10 per cent. of the railways are
now classed as government lines. The
principal countries which do not own
cr at least control any part of their
lines are United States, Great Britain.
Spain and Turkey. though in certain
of the South American countries no
fably Argentina, the share of the lines
owned or controlled by the govern
ment is comparatively small. The cost
OF the railways of the world, including
IN this term first construction and
equipment, is estimated at about 60
billion dollars, of which those of Eur
ope are about 81 billion, North Amer
lea Fl billion, South America 8 IL
billion, Asia 4 IL billion, Africa 2
billion and Oeeania IL billion.

New York, Dec. 12.-Opening. Stocks
showed no material change at the
outset of today's dealings, but prices
soon tended downward on moderate
sales of industrial and allied equip
ments. United States Steel made a
new low for the year on its first offer
of 1000 shares at "a Ia to "a 7-S,
against yesterdays closing sale at
IS S-S. Railroads were fractionally
lower. also shippings and utilities.
Decidedly better tendencies developed
before the end of the first half hour
Noon--Rallies in steels and other
industrials impaired comparative
steadiness to the general list for the
time. Railroads were sensitive to
pressure. however, with new low re-
cords for important issues, including
Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific.
Local fractions also were heavy with
a new low Brooklyn Transit at 36h
Another selling movement was in
progress at noon, when all previous
gains were lost. Foreign bonds re-
manned weak. Liberty issues were
inactive. the As at 1874 to 9746 and
the 314s at 98.46 to 1884.
