The Northern Pacific Railroad Company having
determined to close its 7sO First Mortgage old Loan
at an aggregate not exceeding thirty million dollars
and thereafter to pay higher rate of interest than
per cent. on further issue of Its bonds the limited
remainder of the s-1Oloan is now being disposed
of through the usual agencies.
As the bonds OF this issue are made receivable in
payment for the Company's lands at LILO, they are
in constant and increasing demand for this pur-
pose and will continue to be after the loan is closed
"a fact which much enhances their value and
attractiveness as an investment,

MANUFACTURES In THE SOUTH,

A paper has been published BY Mr.. John
b. Palmer, manufacturer of cotton yarns at
the Saluda Cotton Mills in South Carolina. in
which he undertakes to show that he can
manufacture yarns cheaper than can be done
either at Lowell, Massachusetts,, or at Man-
chester, England. He gives detailed ex>
hlbit OF his own costs-item by item, exclud-
ing labor, repairs, and materials consumed
and shows that he can make q pound of No.
~ yarn, estimating the cotton ct twenty cents.
paying freight and insurance to New York
for " 3 cents. The lowest estimates he has
seen OF the cost of manufacturing yarns at
Lowell, including the same items except
freight and insurance (the same cotton there
costing % cents is 34.s cents. That is.
he at the south can make FIVE cents pound
more than the Lowell manufacturer can upou
the same article, when both cell in the North.
Dir. Palmer further compared notes with
manufacturer of cotton yarns in Manchester
who gave him the cost of manufacturing the
same grade of goods there The result of the
Manchester manufacturers calculation is that
pound of No. 20 yarn (the cotton there cost
ing "a cents) costs him 1926 cents. Now if
we add freight aud insurance from New York
to England to the cos. of the Southern manu.
facsure-that ia, add Is cents to 290S, we
find that MIR. Palmer can deliver his South
Carolina yarn in Liverpool 6S cents q pound
cheaper than the English manufacturer can
offer his own there.
The New York E0ening Post, referring to
these facts, observes that if the calculations
are ccrrect-and Mr.. Palmer is a practical
manufacturer and is in earnest-thero seems
good reason to expect rapid development of
the Southern products.

.THEsRAILR0ADs OF THE LOWER
VALLEY.

The survey of the railroad route from Mar
'tinsburg to Gharlestown, for an extension of
the @. v. r. r. to connect with the s. y. R.
r.. and B. & o. R. r., at Charles.own, was
-cnmpleted last week. The line passes through
Raleigh Street, Martinsburg, and from the
southern end of that to the farm of Mr..
Sutton, on Snodgrass' run. Descending this
run on favorable grade to the bottom lands
of the Opequon Creek, the line crosses that
stream near Newcomers mill, leaves the creek
bottoms at the mouth of SPANS Spring run
and follows the run to Spau's Spring. From
this point The line passes near Mt. Zion church.
crossing the Smithfeld and shepherdstown
turnpike at Mr.. George wiltshire's farm. and
on ms land public road, at point within
less than mile of Leetown, thence passing
near Col. Hite's spring and the main ridge Of
the valley between Col. Hits's and Mrs.
Daniels. From the summit of this water
divide, che lins descends on an easy grade
and ina straight course to Charlestown.
The survey of this route has proven all
that has been claimed it, of being straight.
having easy grades and that it can be built at
q moderate cost. Why the B. & o. R. R.
did not occupy this route in the location of
their road through this section. can only be
accounted for, by the fact of their not having
control of the W. & p r. r. at that time
indeed. the present angular location of their
road shows the necessity of making judicious
selection of ose of the various routes pros
posed for northern connection of the S. v.
r. r. with the G. " R. R. to Philadelphia.
and with the Western Maryland at Hagers-
town, to Baltimore. There are other matters
connected with this subject in favor of the
selection of the Martinsburg route, of which
we NAV speak hereafter
