HAMBURG February 25th. RAILWAY RETURNS.
The German railway returns for 1812 that havo just been completed testify to a considerable expansion in every dírec- tion during the preceding ten years. The total length of full gauge lines was 60,761 kilom. at the end of the period against 61,984 in 1902 or 9.18 kilom, per 10,000 heads of the population against 9. The rolling stock consisted of £8,368 loco- motives, 62,180 passenger carriages and 648,000 luggage vans and goods waggons, an increase of nearly 40 per cent. in locomotives and over 50 per cent. in carriages
and waggons. The passenger traffic has increased in even a greater proportion, the receipts having risen from 577.31 million Marks in 1902 to 981.52 in 1912, equal to 70.5 per cent., 2.93 per cent. accruing from fast class tickets, 16.04 from second, 43.79 from third. 34.96 from fourth and 1.75 per cent from military ones. I may mention here that the fourth class carriages have been much improved and are Frequently retained for school treats and other excursions into the country, even by the well-to-do classes. The quantity of goods handled has like wise been much greater than in 1902, about 80 per cent. The receipts are stated as 2,264.24 million Marks

So far all issues have been easily placed, subscriptions to the new Hamburg lean of 75 million marks, for instance, having reached about 200 millions, hut the stock exchanges show litle animation, except perhaps for ship- ping shares, owing to the satisfactory dividends announced by all the large companies: The Deutsche Süd Amer.
