The HOuSatOnic Bridge upon the n. Y.
and n. Ii. Railroad.

The terrible catastrophe of the Staten
Island ferry, the explosion of the steamer
upon Chautauqua Lake, and the fall OF
the railroad bridge near Bangor, all
within a short time, show the almost
universal carelessness of management
upon the most trusted routes of travel.
The bridge at Bangor was so rotten that
timber was already hauling to repair it.
How many other railroad bridges are at
this moment in the same condition ?
"Clericus" writes from Milford, near
New Haven, on the 10Th of August, to
the New York Times, that the old
bridge over the Housatonic between
Stratford and Milford, upon the New
York. New Haven and Boston Railroad,
is considered by many to be in an un-
safe condition. He states that he is in
formed that this bridge waS condemned a
gear or more ago by the State inspectors. A
new bridge is building, but it is impos,
sible to say when it will be finished, and
"Clericus' says that he has talked with
many passengers on the road who feel
a serious anxiety upon the subject.
We submit to the Superintendent of
the New York and New Haven Rail
road that, in view of so distinct charge
in a respectable paper, he would relieve
very natural anxiety if he would pub
licly state that the Housatonic bridge
has not yet been condemned by the in
spectors, and that in the judgment of
competent engineers it is perfectly safe
for the heavy and continuous travel that
passes over it. OF late years the New
Haven road has been remarkably free
from accidents, when its enormous
traffic is considered. Along its line
there is throng of residents who pass
daily to and from the city. An excess
of caution, therefore, is not unwise. 1t
is true that anybody can write anything
to the newspapers but it is also true
that certain things are not published by
honorable journals without inquiry. If
the Housatonic bridge is now and al
ways has been perfectly safe, and if the
suspicion is only nervous whim, it is,
nevertheless, under the circumstances,
and in the present condition of the
public mind, very desirable to hear upon
the subject from the Superintendent of
the New York and New Haven road

CHICAGO, Sept. IL, lS7l.-We have had
beautiful, dry, fall weather, with few quite
warm days, the past week.
BUSINESS
is more active, and all the indications, thus
far, point to large fall trade.
MONEY
is still abundant, and the banks find it diff
cult TO employ their surplus funds profit
ably.
THE PRICE OF WHEAT
closed six cents better last week than at the
end of the previous week, being $l.l6!
seller the month.
THE FOREIGN DEMAND
for wheat is increasing, with prospect
that large surplus will be taken in Eu-
rope, which will tend To advance prices.
THE RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS
of grain have slightly increased, and there
is a strong tendency among holders to
realize and accept a fair price now, rather
than trust TO the promise of higher prices in
the future.
THE WHOLESALE TRADE
has opened quite actively, though the
warm weather has tended to keep back
buyers. The leading business houses show
much activity in their several departments,
and are prepared with full lines of goods for
the trade OF the Northwest.
GAGE BROS co. WHOLESALE MILLINERY,
at rs Lake street. Chicago, show what enter
prise and skill, combined with ample capital
and experience, can accomplish. For four
teen years they have been winning the con-
fidence of the Millinery trade of the North
west, retaining their old customers and con-
stantly gaining new ones, till their name
has become familiar as household words
among Northern milliners, and their integ-
rty and fair dealing as proverbial as the SUI
peror quality and style of their goods, and
their promptness in filling orders. There is
no stronger, more reliable, or honorable
house in Chicago.
LIBEL SUIT.
There is nothing of special interest to
note, save that Mrs. Ostrander has sued
the Times for $40 200, for alleged defamation
of character, that being the amount which,
in her estimation, will make it as good as
new. This libel suit business is pretty well
run into the ground. There ought to be
law making the prosecutors for libel respon
sible for all costs, when they fail to estab
lish case. There would then be fewer
malicious, or black mail, prosecutions.
