Fig. 3 and Fig. 1 are based on thesame group of roads. Figures 4, o, 6, 7 and 8 represent graphically an exhibit ofearnings compiled by the Commercial and Financial Chronicle. Wehave shown this exhibit for several years in the same form. Theperiod represented in each diagram is the 10 months ended Oct. in 1907 the two are together again at 154 per cent. It will be seenfrom this chart that the rate of increase of ton-miles fluctuatesmore widely than does that of the paBsenger-miles. In the excep-tionally good years, such as 19U3 and 19Ut>, ton-miles show a rateof increase about the same as that of the passenger-miles, but inthe off years like 19t>4, passenger-miles are much less affected thanare ton-miles. If we can draw conclusions for the next year from I90Z 1905
