RAILROAD RACKET.

New YORK, Sept. 30.-President Gar
rett, of the Baltimore s. Ohio railroad, re-
plies to Vanderbilt, and says the B. & O.
has as much right to New York business
as any other road; and that instead of get
ting per cent should get 25 per cent. II
has more right to New York business than
the New York Central has to Boston
business Vanderbilts assertion that his
road can prosper when others lose money,
is strong argument in favor of building a
parallel line That is what New York
wants, and Vanderbilt breads. If Wander
bilt reduces rates in order to discourage
this rival line, then the people will rejoice
that he has been made to do fair thing,
through fear. When war comes, it is al
ways found that Baltimore and Philadel-
phia got the lions share Of grain, and New
York suffers loss to four trunk lines. The
net earnings of the last two months is
SO, 091 900, and Vanderbilt must yield to
the common sense of the logic of these
figures, and thus aid in restoring the rea
sonable prosperity of the railways of the
country, and cease to think that the inter
ests of New York based on such empty
delusions, will control interests of such
magnitude as those of the trunk lines.
Vanderbilt must yield

TRADE REVIEW.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Business for the
past week has been considerably inter
rupted. in Chicago and the cities of the
northwest, by the day of mourning for
President Garfield; and one business day
has been more completely blotted out of
the financial and commercial history of
this section, than has ever before been
recorded.
The clearings for five days Saturday
estimated), viii reach $44, 600, 900. Money
has been very active and very strong, chief
ly because operators on Change, Of whom
there are now thousands, were in urgent
need of it; and rates are strong. Eastern
exchange is dollar discount. Securities
are firmer, and all kinds of stocks are held
firmly in anticipation of a rise. Business
among jobbers is animated, and there has
been substantial gain over prices and
sales Of year ago. Groceries, like all
other kinds of living material, notably
flou, potatoes, dairy products, and vegeta-
bles are strong, and If not
actually higher, give promise of an
advance in the near future. Grocers talk
discouragingingly to housekeepers Of
higher prices; and at retail stores their
predictions meet an almost daily confirm
alton 1t is becoming serious matter to
year or two ago, how they can make both
ends meet, with all living expenses ad
vancing rapidly, coal going up a third
higher, and some of the table expenses
more than double. Yet, with this serious
problem confronting the citizens, they see
gradual advance in cereals and pro
visions on change which seems due not to
any corner, clique or manipulation, but to
the strong and abiding faith OF specula-
tors, farmers and dealers in the value of
the fruit of the soil.
Wheat experienced boom of nearly
eight cents. The corn market was next
with rise of five and six cents; oats were
not for behind, with rise of SIS cents.

of the week, and the highest to-day. There
was the greatest irregularity in the options,
which sometimes ran parallel for few
hours, and then dlverged widely from each
other
Failur.s, and rumors of failures caused
q sensation toward the close, but the mar
kets went pretty steadily upward in spite
of every adverse influence. Provisions
were fairly steady, without any great dls-
turbance of values, although the tendency
was downward. Sales of the October
option were made as follows: Wheat u "a
@141a, corn e9t@744c, oats 42(9463c,
pork S1s sO(a1 45, lard 1239i22c.
The prices for grain are the highest for
many years, higher for ten years, except
in cases of well developed corners. Re-
ceipts for the week were 8, 321, 900 bushels.
The receipts again largely exceed the ship
ments. and are about the same as last year.
The elevators are filing up with grain
early in the season, and even the low rate
of one cent per bushel for shell corn to
Buffalo, doesn't draw grain away, for
prices are higher here at any market to
which Chicago can ship Some people
predict disasterous break, but there are
no signs Of one yet.
