CAPITAL STOCK.

Reference is respectfully made to Table No. 2, for a financial statement, which is as complete as has been furnished this office by the several corporations doing business in this State. Totals are compared with 1887. The amount of capital stock issued is shown to be $287,208,720; per mile of road this capitalization is $52,730. The amount of capital stock for 1888 shows a decrease of $44,759,850 over 1887, caused from the fact that the Atlantic and Pacific did not report capital stock last year.

The total number of stockholders is reported at 787.

INDEBTEDNESS.

The total indebtedness of reporting corporations, December 31, 1888, was $176,901,336 13.

Classified, this indebtedness is as follows:

Funded debt..
Unfunded debt.

Total

$139,464,110 00 37,437,226 13

$179,901,336 13

As compared with the returns of last year this is a decrease of indebtedness of $36,478,187 49, or deducting the funded debt of the Atlantic and Pacific for 1887 of $33,413,534, which is not reported this year, we get as a result a net decrease of $3,064,653.

[blocks in formation]

The property accounts of the several companies show a footing of $379,491,212 47, as against $343,511,948 53 for 1887. This increase is caused by the adding of the capital of the seven new companies.
