pilation by Moody's Investors
Service.
A total of Ill companies re-

showed gains Of 26 per cent over

the second quarter Of 1888, and
were 2.8 per cent over the third

of that year.
Second quarter earnings of
$107, 1876 900 for these companies
compared with $85 5,301 900 in the
first quarter and $86.791,000 in
the second quarter of 1888,
whereas earnings in the third
quarter of 1888 amounted to

"The most significant fact
that second quarter earnings,
