RAILROAD ARs.-The cost OF railroad cars,
according to one Of the largest car-buiIding
companies In this country, is as follows: The
average price OF box cars Is from $500 70 $50 ;
In 1872 they were rs high as 5000. milk
car costs about 500 more than an ordinary
box freight cal. that is, when the box is not
changed. : baggage car truck and a passen-
ger car truck are about the same. The price
Of baggage car varies from $4,000 to $500.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-10-29

ANOTHER GooD SIGN.-One OF the most
encouraging signs Of increasing prosperity l.
found in the sales OF public lands to actual
settlers, and entries under the homestead
law. 1t Is said that during the first three
years after 1878 there was little movement to
the public domain. and the land office reports
possessed little Information Of an encourage
Ing nature. In 1879, however, the purchases
covered $3.50. 1t9 acres and the entries under
the homestead and timber culture laws en-
hraced s,o2G,6S5 acres, the numbers In either
case being nearly treble what they were in
1879.

WHAT ARMAMRNTs CosT.-Immense arma-
ments continue to find favor In Europe,
despite the burdens which they entail. The
Russian government has ordered a foundry
to devote itself exclusively to the manufac-
ture Of ordnance, and Is understood to have
ordered a ship-building firm on the Clyde to
construct monster ironclad, which Is for
attack as vel as defense, and Is to be at least
the equal OF any other ship ailoat. Germany
Is about to add seventy-two new batteries to
the field artillery, while France has expended
S200,od0,00 since the war with Germany in
rearming her troops, replenishing her arse
nails and reconstructing her fortresses. The
appeal Of the peace congress- to be held at
Naples will hardly be heard amid the din Of
this warlil1e preparation. 5
