Few PERSONS as they see Il fast express train
hit by, are aware of the value OF such train.
The Indianapolis journal says that what Is

represents over Sl2o,000, as follows; Engine,
Sl2,00oi baggage'car, $1,000; smoking-car,
Pullman cars, $4,000 oach, 100000. While
this may seem to DO On exception, an ordinary

greater than that OF u passenger train, when

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1882-04-18

The Commercial Bulletin, of Saturday, in
Inmates the good Influences oil the week as
follows: Tine smaller run of receipts at the
ports, growing strength and higher valua-
lions on spots here AID abroad, have afforded
the main stimulus with an indication that
the boom would have been greater still
had the short interest been more scattered.
Even the large operators, who represent the
major portion of the bear side, commenced
to show NJ rvousne 81, and have covered 10 a
considerable extent, very few new ventures
being made on the short side, and the supply
coming largely from long cotton spilled, but
on good margin for profit, which hnlfers
dee med il j1dicious to secure. In brief, the
average tendency has been 'b1llish,' and the
sarguine operators for rise were corre-
spondiugly jubi1ant. They, however, found
continued opposition, an many of the trade
i'll contend that the cautious spirit of con-
sumers and the supply Of India cotton will
ueutralize the shortage OF American growth,
especially with promises of the new crop of
a cheerful aud encouraging character" The
Clu0meie, OF the same date, discussing its
side of a controversy into which its views of
the cotton situation had brought it with an
other paper, concludes with the following
pr, dicti0n: 1--WE would not however, init
mat that there Is to be no speculative move
nlent this summer which will give a twist to
the market. Stocks are certain to be re-
N0Sr1 louSAl oS'O" "hSt tuoy WIRE uuIloS ibe
same months las; year, when the celebrated
corner was engine red. Clearly, ther fore,
in the light of such experience, it would
not be wise Ter anyone TO be short of cotton
when nj 1n-y is SO abundant and the speoula-
live mania l. universal. The chances are
cert inly in favor of corner and higher
prices"
