Sharp Recovery Seen
In Rail Revenues
During May
Months Nets Expected
To Prove Highest
Since 1880 Period

NEW YORK, June 26.-May rev.
enue reports of railroads indicate
the carriers as group have re-
gained earning powers comparable
with the boom period of the 1s2os,
Wall Street statistical circles esti-
mated today.
For the last several months car
loadings, operating revenues and net
returns have traced an upward curve
on the large expansion in traffic
resulting from the national defense
program.
The revenue gains have been we'll
distributed, but roads serving the
important industrial regions have
done better than the average.
Near 1929 Levels.
The figures in hand suggest, ac-
cording to railroad analysts, that
total gross revenues and net income
of the class l carriers for May
will be the largest for that month
since 1880, year marked by gen.
eral corporate prosperity despite the
stock market crash in the late
months of 1929.
Some quarters estimated the net
operating revenue of the carriers
for May (these are net earnings be-
fore interest charges would run
close to the May, 1929, level
Financial observers regard the
change in the fortunes in the rail-
roads as one of the notable busi-
ness developments growing out of
the huge gain in industrial activity
in connection with the defense ef-
fort.

riers had shown only a moderate
