New Orleane Times.l

New Orleane Times.
From a well-known citizen who has
Just returned from the West, and
who, during his stay, spent much of
his time with the principal dealers in.
grain, it is ascertaiued that during the
current winter there will be such a
pressure brought for the permanent
improvement Of the upper Mississippi
hat congress will be forced into
speedy action.
According to the gentleman's state
ment, these shrewd Western dealers
have recently made careful calcutta
tions Of the cost of transportation by
rail and river, and have cOnclusively
demonstrated thatwith a permanently
high stage of water in the Mississippi
river, grain can reach the sea at rates
which will render railway competition
simply impossible.
They make the assertion, without
the least fear of contradiction, that il
the Erie, Pennsylvania, and Mobile
and Ohio roads had all the money in
the country, it would be simply i'm
possible for them to successfully com.
pete, and they do not hesitate to say
that when the new route is fully or
gained, none of them will make the
attempt. 1t would seem that the is
sue has at length been reduced to
purely a matter of dollars and cents.
Not only the Western dealer, but the
Western farmer, has been thoroughly
o. Yinced that cereals can reach tide
water in this direction at much lower
rates than by rail to the Eastern sea
board.
The cable hes annihilated time, and
grain to arrive is sold every day in
Chicago to the principal cities in
Europe. The cost Of transportation
is altogether a different matter. and
compared to a fraction of a cent o
bushel in cost, a week or two's differ
enee in the journey makes no special
difference. The extraordinary adj
vance in grain, superinduced bye a
general failure ia European crops, has
placed immense resources at the com
mand Of the entire community, and
the cost of equipping suitable barges
and towboats for the immense amount
destined to come down the river this
winter can r%eaeily be supplied.
In this connection the gentleman
stated that the impetus given to every
character OF business throughout the
North and West has attracted the
special attention OK capitalists to the
New. Orleans Pacific railroad, and
that prior to his departure fgom New
York negotiations were pending which
he feels confident will result in the
early equipment of that road with
steel rails. rolling stock and every
thing necessary for a 6rst-class rail
way.

ALEXANDRIA, October 3l.-The
creditors of the Egyptian government
have not seized the obelisk, but threat.
en- to do so, 1t seems there is no court
in Egypt of competent jurisdiction to
issue a writ Of seizure. Marietta
Pasha, who has charge of the Egyptian
monuments, opposes the removal, and
urges the French consul to protest to
the khedive on the ground that such
a removal would be in violation of the
convention between Egypt and the
European powers, by which it is pro-
yided that no Egyptian monument or
work of art shall leave the country.
