VIII the Gram 60 Forward


There are more railroads in the t. ) to-
day than ever before, and there are larger
crops to bring to market But the fear is
that for want Of the convenience of money,
and from the disposition of farmers to hold
back ior hig her prices. the delay of ship
ments will throw such an accumulation on
the latter pert OF the season, that the whole
equipment of our roads, day ami night will
hc insufficient for the carriage
Another material fact will add TO the de
lay. The failure OF eastern produce houses
has lessoned confidence in shippers To
NEE. this difficulty, it has been suggested
tha, an association of capitalists might Join
to guaranty the returns Of sales ON commits
sion to shippers. All the wisdom aud abil-
ity of our banks will fail to preserve the
soundncss of our financial system, if the
western crops are not brought to the sea
board. The full use our canals is especially
important before winter begins This Is
our true point Of recuperation aud if we'll
used it will strengthen our commercial in
terests beyond the fear Of disaster. 1t is
also the hinge oi the same recuperaiion for
our railroads. They can. n, the sarrc time,
