A VISIT TO THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE AND SOME
QUIET FACTS THAT NAY AFFECT vALuEs-N-
CIDENTs ON THE STREET
There was little OF fresh interest on the street
yesterday. The only point OF interest from
Stock Exchange standpoint was the meeting OF
the Executive Committee OF the direction IN
Toledo and wabash. Upon this meeting the stock
was successfully hammered during the day, the
rumor being that the road would pass its February
dividend. lnasmuch as this company has not yet got
into the habit OF paving dividends on its common
stock. and only does IL con anore or when CTR
cumstances justify such lnteger on its preferred
stock, this rumor seems to be supernuous guam
tity. The meeting yesterday was q protracted
did not know II II was = meeting oil the directors
or OF an executive committee OF such body. II all
the employees OF the company are equally stupid,
whether through the action OF nature or "higher
authority" one cannot De surprised at the read
not paying dividends.

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

The senate committee on cheap trans
portation have made report to the
senate through their chairman, Mr..
Window. The committee submit, in
substance, that congress has the power,
under the constitution, to regulate cem-
merco between the states to appro-
pirate money for the construction of
railway or canals to incorporate com
panics to construct them to exercise
The right of eminent domain within a
state in order to provide for the con
struction Of such railways or canals
and to take, for public use, in its cxer-
else Of the right of eminent domain,
paying just compensation therefor, any
existing railway or canal owned by pri-
vate persons or corporations. The
committee unanimously recommend
the completion or improvement Of
the four great channels Of commerce :;
The Mississippi river ship ca
nal to the East around the Niagara
falls the St. James and Kanawha ca
nal, and the Southern route from the
Mississippi to the Atlantic ocean via
the Ohio and Tennessee rivers and
canal or freight railway to the ocean.
The committee estimate the total cost
OF these improvements ut one hundred
and twenty millions of dollars, if rail
ways be chosen to complete the routes
if canals. the cost will be one hundred
and iifty-Gyc millions an actual cS-
pendituro of from twenty millions to
twenty five millions of dollars per an
mum will be necessary to complete the
work, which can be done in six years.
The committee propose several ways IN
which the money could be raised for
these improvements by rigid economy
in the expenditures Of the government
by the issue Of public improvement
bonds, or taxation, in which case the
restoration OF the tax on tea and coffee,
which would produce twenty five mil
lions of dollars per annum, is sug-
gcsted.
