Railroad Matters.

New York, January ia proposition
for the settlement of the trunk line diff
ficulties was made Wednesday and has
been received by the contracting parties
with favor. Outsiders say that while
the negotiations may fall through the
chances OF speedy adjustment are
good. 1t is believed Gould's hand ap-
peared in the Western Union yesterday
in the purchase of 5000 shares in the
morning which was said to be for him.
The bear party in stock put out more
shares yesterday, but was q little dis
turbed last evening by the report that
Gould had been causing short interest
and it was proposed to squeeze it. The
Northwestern company makes profit of
$5OO,OO0 on the bonds it lately negotia-
ted. The Atlantic and Pacific company
thinks its land grant in Indian Territory
will not be forfeited on account of the
fact that the government has not per-
mitted the company to fulfil its contract
by building the road.

Business Failures.

New York, Jan. 13.-R. G. Dunn & Co.,
of the Mercantile Agency, report failures
throughout the country during the past
week as %. the largest number in any
