The Pal 4MaH Gazette Gays the open dis
count market is perfectly demoralized,
buSiness being almost 81 a stand still.
The Central News Agency has a Paris
dispatch reporting that the Union Generate
has suspended payment.
The Pail MaU Gozrtte says: "It may now

action TO put bonded and interest oblga-
tion upon it to such an amount It is true,
the property did not cost the owners
SO eco 0O0 but 1t is worth every cent of that
to them, for It's connection with the Central
Railroad guarantees it a business that will
pay fair interest on this sum after deduct
lug all expenses, including fire insurance
and q proper reserved fund against
marine loss, etc. The Montgomery aud
Eu aula Railroad of Alabama, was built for
much less than 81, 100 600, yet the Central
Railroad and is friends paid this amount
for It, and now consider II well worth the
money. So with the Ocean Steamship Com
panv, with its splendid ships, wharves,
press, warehouses, elevator. etc, in connec-
tton with its railroad alliance, it is worth
twice its original cost.
II, however, The larger part Of the stock
holders are alarmf about the matter, and
do not wish anv steps taken to guarantee
them net earnings for the future, why do
they not meet in convention and so Instruct

A LITTLE ROCK SENSATION.
Created by lhe Purchase OF the San
Francisco Railroad By Gould and
Huntington.

A New Orleans Times Democrat special
says: "The announcement hat Gould and
Huntington have purchased q controlling
interest in the St. Louis and San FrauciscO
Railroad creates considerable comment in
railroad and commercial circles here. A
number of leading business men were inter
viewed, and eX ressed the opinion
that the purchase would not prove beneficial
to this city in commercial sense, inasmuch
0s it will give Gould control of the Arkansas
branch Of the Frisco. which is beiBg built
from Fayetteville, Ark, across the noun
tains, and which is TO tap the line OF the
Little Rock and Ft. Smith Road, probably
between VanBuren and Ft Smith and give
Arkansas smother direct outlet to st. L uis
As 1t is, Gould will control that outlet. as
he does that via the Ton Mountain, and
business interests are not likely to resp the
benefits which were anticipated from an
active competition between the Iron Moun-
tain and the Arkansas division of the st.
Louis and San Francisco. Said prominent
merchant and shipper: Little Rock must
have a competing outlet to st. Louis aud
the East by rail, and the sooner she awakes
to that fact the sooner will she become a
great commerc.al centre. Gould has gobbled
the Frisco line, and he will shortly pur
chase the Little Rock and Fort Smith road,
snd perhaps the Little Rock and Mississippi
River and Texas line, and thus virtually
control the bulk of the business OF the
Southwest. There are other railroad mag
mates, however, ready to build competing
liues, and every encouragement should
be extended them, both by the State and
people, Other business men expressed
similar views. In the offices OF the different
railway companies centeripg here the pur-
chase was an all absorbing topic. A gentle
man In the confidence Of the railway officers
of the Little Rock, Mississippi River and Tex
as Railroad mentioned that Gould was nego-
tiating for It's purchase, but said the next
three moDths will witness some wond rful
changes In the railroads Of the Southwest
The changes will affect to a greater Or less
extent every existing railroad combination.
1t was rumored that work On the Arkansas
division of the st. Louis and San Francisco
Road had been ordered suspended for the
present, but a dispatch from Fayetteville
says that no such order has been sued"

few days ago the Rev. Father Flvnn. of

from Bishop Virgins as to the treatment
of liquor dealers and their victims. The
