The mileage of the South Atlan tic group for the fiscal or companies year, 1888, waa 14,611; in 1880,16,045, Inorease of 1644mllee; fhla larger Increase than in any other section of the country exoept the Northwest, and speaks volumes for the remarkable growth of the South Atlantlo States during the year 1880. The Gulf aud Mississippi group doss not show such an Inorease, aa the mileage for 1888 waa 1,1014, and for 1880, 11,107, an increase of 03 xnlles only. The Southwestern group had a mileage In 1888 of 30, 005, and in 1880, 31,365, an Increase of 1,300 miles closely following the figure* of the South Atlantlo group.

The Southwestern group showed a deficit In 1888 of $10,478,276, and In 1880 a deficit of $1,021,107, wbloh Is a pretty large Improvement In one year, although It la on tbe wrong aide. Tta.
