RAILROAD RECEIVERSHIPS.
New York Commercial.
Whili the thirteenth statistical report
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion will bring the official figures of the
railway business In the United States
down only to June SO, 1909, and w.!l
cover specifically only the twelve
months previous, the preliminary bulle
tins of the report present much sigriti
cant Infomatlon.
This is especially th case in the mit-
ier of rallraal receiverships, th rr?.'rt
showing hat on June SO. 1S?5, there
were 6S roads :hen In trie hands of
the courts, while on June 30, 1 the
numtxr had been reduced to 32. The
return of "gd times," with Increased
oppj.-tunities. Increased earnings and
more plentiful money, no doubt had a
direct influence in facilitating the sef.Ie
ment of bankrupt railway affairs, and
enabled not a tew companies to resume
control of their properties on a basis of
perfect solvency.
One signflcant fact in this connection
is the comparative unimportance of the
fifty-two railroad companies that were
still In re:?ivers' hands on June 30 of
last yeir. Only five of them had an
operated mileage In excess of 300 miles,
seven of .hem had a mileage ranging
from 100 to 300 miles, and of 40 of them
the milage was less than 100. Most of
the larg? and .nore Important proper
ties that had become financially in
volved during the business depression
prior to 1S37 had been already pulled out
of their difficulties or had bee absorbed
by stronger companies by the close of
June a year ago. And it is quite prob
able that the figures for the year enleJ
hre? w?eks aga would show an ev-n
triors satisfarory condition. The entire
cpravd mil?age of the receivership
r ad a year agi was only 4177.
As to the capital stock invilwd the
aggregate of .his represented by reclv
ership roads on June 30, 1), was $10.
m the funlei debt was $107.33.022.
and the current llabill:is $33.o31.:0.
Tb--se figures show a decrease in capital
stock represented, as compare! with the
previous year, of $112,113,533. and in
,'unlH debt of $199,053,71?.
however, until af:er a hn discussion

FREEDOM OF DOMESTIC TRADE.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The president yesterday ls?'jed his
proclamation establishing free trade V
we. n Porn Rico and the United Stat-s
and d-claring the organization of a
civil government for the islanl. This
formal recognition of the Incorporation
f Porto Rico Into the United States wis
made in pursuance of the terms of the
Forakor act. It may be well to recall
to those readers upon whom such mat
rs do not make a vivid Impression
some of the circumstances attending
he adoption of that measure, for the
historv of this particular legislation
has been clouded by the discussion of
th- qu option whether the constitution
pjto'nde.J Its own vigor to newly ac
niilred territory.
Th- Foraker act was Introduced in
th- s-nate by the s-nator whose nam
ir b-ars not long after the appearance
of tht- president's "plain duty" mes
sage. In its original ship- it provid-d
for fr-e tride between Porto Rico and
the United States, but it was antag-niz-d
bv Interests a p. jr. -hen. five of the
effects of the Introduction Into this
'piamity of a great iiuantlty of sugar
