ST. LOUIS BANKS.
All Qute9-Buatness Progressing in

All Qutet-Business Progressing in
l h Regular Way.
ST.. Louis, July lS.-Bank matters are
very quiet this morning, and business
seems to be progressing at all the insti-
tutions in the regular way.
1t is reported that the Washington Saw.
ings Association, at Washington, Mo
suspended yesterday. No particulars.
B NJ. Chambers, president Of the
Butchers aud Drovers Bank, says he has
every reason to believe that the deposit.
ors will leave the adjustment Of the diff
culties Of that bank in his hands, and
will accept the proposition made by him.
He thinks an assessment Of twenty-five
dollars per share will be required on the
stockholders to close up the business
speedily, and is confident hat this sum,
or at least the greater part Of it, will be
returned to them when the assets are
realized upon.
The directors Of the North St.. Louis
Savings Association have discussed
several propositions for the settlement Of
their affairs, with o view to re-opening
the bank and resuming business. The
[ most favorably entertained is to pay
all depositors oue-halt in cash and one.
half in stock, and if arrangements can
be made to obtain money to carry out
this proposition, it is probable that the
bank will resume business next week.
The assets Of this association are one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars above
its liabilities.
As an evidence OF returning confidence
it may be said that the Broadway SAY
ings Dank Association, which felt the
run of Saturday and Monday as severely
as any bank, received a large number OF
new accounts yesterday and It's deposits
were about $4,000 over any previous
day. A large Rumber Of ~depositors who
withdrew their funds Saturday returned
them yesterday, This can also be said
of a number of the other banks.
Over SO, 900, 900 arrived here yesterday
by express for banking purposes.

rHE RAILROAD WAR OVER THE RIvER
We publish to-day some details
of the railroad war between the
Memphis and Little Rock and Iron
Mountain railways as seen from a
Little Rock standpoint. The gen
eral public is already in possession
Of the main facts. We give this
more full account in order that the
people at large as well as railroad
men may know the merits Of the
controversy. The Iron Mountain
company only assumed the aggres-
sive recently. The possibility of a
r~eceivership being out of the qaes-
ton for the present, the road shows
its true animus by measures in
tended to crush a short connecting
line and calculated to seriously
Inconvenience the travelling pub
lie. The distance from Texar-
kama to Little Rock is $50 miles
thence to ST. Louis $40 miles. The
total length of the Iron Mountain
railway is four hundred and ninety
miles. st. Louis is about one hun
dred and fifty miles ont Of the way
from Texas to New York, 1t is to
compel Texas and Arkansas people
to make this detour hat the Iron
Mountain railway demanded an in
crease of fare by the Memphis and
Little Rock road. In the contest
the latter has some advantage. Peo-
pie from southwestern Arkansas,
northwestern Louisiana, and from
all parts Of Texas can buy tickets
to Little Rock, thence to Louisville
by a through sleeper if they wish,
for two dollars. and from that point
on East the rates are very low. The
Texas railroads must naturally and
pecuniarily sympathize with the
Memphis and Little Rock road
as we'll as all roads connecting
east of Memphis. The sup
port that our road will receive in
this apparently unequal contest we
believe will enable it to bring to
terms the gigantic monopoly which
purposely brought on the contro-
yersy for selfish purposes. Besides
this the great necessity for the ex-
tension of the Memphis and Little
Rock road from DeYalrs Bluff,
through Southwestern Arkansas to
Jefferson or Marshall, becomes APP
parent, and must have the effect Of
uniting the several great interests
which could push the road through
in two years. This would open a
new field to Memphis, Louisville
and Cincinnati, from which these
cities are now eifectually excluded.
1t would complete a geographical
air line from Louisville to Austin,
and on the extension of the Inter-
national, as will soon be done, to
San Antonio, No such important
connection remains to be made in
the South. st. Louis has at pres
ent a complete monopoly of Texas
trade, Chicago being her only rival,
over the NJ, K. and T. road, and
not much of a rival at that. While
we hope the Memphis and Little
Rock road will hold its ground and
force a courteous recognition at the
hands of the great Southwestern
monopoly, we expect to see still
greater results.
