The share capital of the mileage in operation
In IBS I equalled ? 3,702,010,080 , against

$34,536,103. The funded debts of all tne lines
at the close of the year aggregated S3.6C9-

Tlio manual saya that the general demorali
zation which has prevailed In railroad circles
it due rncrn to the construction of the Nicklo
Plate and Wist Shore roads , nnd to the ill
feeling which attended them , than to any
other cause. Their f-licet hua been to stop
altogether the payment of dividends which
had been paiJ for a long time by the
Like Shore nnd Michigan Central.companies.
The opinion Is advanced tbnt tlfe nou-com-

increase of general business of the country.

In Wall street circles , the West Shore set

Tbo new schedule of raloj Is awaited with intense -

that the public have been accustomed to lower
