The following is an extract from an Official letter,
dated Indianapolis Sept. 1885, relative to the business
of the Bellefontaine Railroad line:
"No connections have been missed during the sum
mer The road and rolling stock were ncverin De'ter
condition for heavy Fall business. An immense
amount of freight that used to 60 via Chicago TO ST.
Iouis and the West now goes over this line account
of the greater dispatch and regularity with which II IL

supply of money early in the season. They are now
securing very remuneratve prices for their cereal pro-

whole has been bought up at prices that must maten'
ally stimulate the production of this very important
staple The annexed table exhibits the growth, e1-
port and consump've result of this years crop, COM

goods but things begin to change and the South
