Statistics of American Railways

This and the three following pages are reproduced from Poor's Manual of Railroads. These statistics are of value to those who take interest in economic and wage questions. It must be understood that the per cent. of interest and dividends is estimated upon the value of the stocks and bonds at par. If the average market value of all the capital stock of railroads was only .25, the per cent. of dividends upon actual value is four times as great as given in these statistics. If the average market value of all the bonds is .50, the per cent. of interest upon actual value is twice as great as given in these statistics.
