COMPETITION. The war on prices has a.
ready commenced between the Western
Union and the Mississippi Valley telegraph
companies, ard bids fair to prove beneficial
to the public, for time At least. Yet il
cannot last, for when both companies learn
the extent Of the others bank account
some combination. will BE- effected. Before
that time, the project Of placisg the tsle-
graph under the direction Of the Postal
Department will probably be settled, and
competition in this business be done away
with. Until then, let 'sm fight. Both sidss
are good for strong pull. The new com.
pany has opened an office at the Merchants
Exchange, in St Louis also at Clarksyille
Hannibal and Louisiana, Ne. Rates to st.
Louis have been greatly reduced, ard also
to Chicago, New York and al other points
east.
Tns city to-day has presented . more
lively and husinsss-lke appearance than II
has for some time past. The enly stagna.
tion in businsss appears to be among grain
dealers, caused by the decline n wheat,
which las had the effect to cause farmers
to hold back on oil kinda Of grain, wher
the decline has been principally on wheat
alone. Very many. however, think it bet
ter to sell at present prices than to hold
over. aa tusy save shrinkags Of ten pei
cent, ard then have the use Of the money.
While others claim' that prices will 20 w
before spring, or If they don't. money vii
bs mado by keeping tho whole crop and
selling with next years crop. 70 such II
