we're concerned, Col. Bralnard said that they
we're local IN their nature, due to the fact that
HcaVy Shippers at certain points along the canal
wished to get special, reduced rates to this city.
IL was nonsense to talk of through rates on tho
canal: AS yet there were no through rates. All
we're local There would be no through rates
Until Ihe system Of locks and dams upon the Il
llhols had been completed so that vessels could
come through from st. Louis or other Missis-
s,ppl klVer points during the entire season
o. navigation. At present the canal ended
III tIlc air. 1t ended on river which was naVi-
gaole during only q short period Of the year.
~ VARIOUS points the cannl had to compete with
tlc ralfoads, and Its rates necessarily had to be
So SO ADJUSTED as to meet these special conditions.
!, 1hcre had been reductions last yrar, but never
tneless the receipts had been $4,000 greater than
LOT tne previous twelve months.
Inc 1ncorrectness OF the statements made
as as 70 the extravagant administration Of
tae work BY the Canal Commissioners is
pest shown from the fact that the
total estimate for the work at CoppcraS
Greek was $40, coo, md it will be completed for
mucn less than this sum, being one of the very
1ew instances where public work, indeed any
WORK. has been erected within the estimate.
IL Is COL Braluard's opinion from his expert
ence Tint the canal cannot be run satisfactorily
py only one Commissioner; that, owing to the
extent Of territory which it truverscs and the
manifold interests involved, at least three per-
sons selected from various points along the line
should De appointed, In order that this great
highway might be utilized to the best possible
advantage

The application for rchcarins In the casc nf
.. D. Lyon q Co., appellants, VS.. Culbertson,
Blair d CO., has just been denied by the s,,.
premc Court, though the Judges, while still
holding options illegal, somewhat modify their
former opinion. In this modified opinion less
is said than was said before as to the alleged
custom on the part Of persons dealing on
'Changc to ask the name Of the principal on the
trade beng made br broker, or otherwise be-
ing construed as elccting to treat the broker
as,da as the actual ngrincpal exclusively Of an
jcctcd, and it is not disIinctiy
stated whether such proof ought to have ht1 been
received or no.. It Is int1mated that O custom
must DC long-establishcd and very general in It's
character to have any application. The princi-
pal point On which the refusal Of the iudgmcnt
OF the Circuit Court is made to depend IS. that
the ELECTION Of Culbcrtson, Blair 4, Co. to con-
Slaer tte contracts for this sale by them to j. B.
have been accompanied BY tender Of the wheat,
aithongh tue rule Of he'Board Of Trade is con.
sdcrcd by the Court as not, requiring such
tender. ~
Justice Walker concludes that because no
Lenoer OF the wheat was actually made the bona
hoes OF the contract was not sufficiently shown
or, III other words, that the Legitimacy of the
contract was not sufficiently established. In
the th 1o5ner opinion Of the Court it was held that
