Greatly Improved net railway earnings are shown In a carefully prepared special report to Bradstreet's, un ab stract of which is as follows: . Gross earnings of 143 railroad compan ies for the first six months of 1895 ag gregate $310,099,773, a gain of 3.6 per cent, over the corresponding period of 1894, Which, in turn showed a decrease from 18f'3 to 16.4 per cent. Te net earnings of the same roads for this year aggre gate $102,767,786, a gain over last year of 8.1 per cent, and following a decrease in 1894 form 1893 of 1S.8 per cent. Divided Into groups, a striking uniform ity Is noted In the increases and decreases In the gross net. Of the 126 railroad systems, comprising the 145 railroads which make up the following table, two thirds show Increases: Granger, decrease, gross 7.7; net 3.4 per cent. Central West ern, Increase, gross 9.8; net 25.9. Trunk llr.es, Increase, gross 6.4; net 8.1. Eastern, Increase, gross 12.4; not 23.2. Coal roads, increase, gross 5.3; net 1.0. Southern, de crease, .gross 1.4; net 7.1. Southwestern, IniTeus gross 2.8; net 16.0. Pacific, de crease, gross none; Increase, net 9.1. Total Increase, gross 3.3; increase net, 23.0. There are some decreases In gross earn ings this year from last, notably the Southern and granger roads, but there are also notably large Increases In near ly all the other groups, where last year the dead level of decrease was without relief. . When tho net earnings figures this year are considered the show ing Is still better. The decreases In the grangers and southwestern roads are still notable, but the gains showed In the other group of roads are sufllclent to more tljan counterbalance this falling off, and the result Is a very satisfactory gain in net over a year go.

R. and N. dock and running thence east to a point 400 feet west of the Clatsop Mills, the chief engineer of the railroad construction work said last night that there was nothing In the ru mor, as the amount of ground was not nearly sutllcient for depot and terminal facilities, and that Mr. Hammond had as yet been unable to come to any defi nite conclusions. He may select this site, If there Is enough land arranged for, 'but at present there Is nothing ueclded. When the depot site Is selected there will be enough land for ample facilities for hamlllng not only the business of the present but of the future. CHANGE OF TIME ON THE SEA SHORE RAILWAY.

Was the Amount Refused Lots. for Three Yesterday afternoon an Eastern in vestor, through his brokers, Messrs. R. L. Boyle & Co., offered $20,000 In gold for a certain corner on Commercial street, 100 feet square, now occupied by a shack, and $10,000 for another lot 50x100 feet on the same street. It was the intention ol tho gentleman to erect fine modern brick business blocks on all three lots, which would have been the means of leading others to put up similar buildings ,and soon an impetus to building and Im provement would have been given that would rapidly remodel the entire town. The offer of the gentleman was refus ed, one owner refusing to name any price whatever for his property and the other asking a prohibitive figure, The capitalist returned east Instructing his brokers to Invest $10,000 for him, but not to put it In Astoria. It would seem to be poor policy to hold on to land and neither Improve it or allow anyone else to do so. Were such methods pursued by everyone there would be no growth or improvement and capital, as In this Instance, would eek other fields of employment. PIANO SALES TODAY. This will be a boom day for pit no pales. Perhaps on no future occasion ci n an Instrument be procured at uiieh a low price and on such ensy term3 as to day. The reason of this Is because we will make a strenuous effort to. .'.ell out today In order to vacate the premluos to night and permit our salesmen to look after pressing business elsewnere. Every Instrument wlM be sold before nlsht if we have to close them out at half their value, uan early so as to get your choice. WILEY B. ALLEN CO. 710 Commercial Ftrcet IKiij 1896.
