LONDON, April 22.--The London &
Northwestern railway company has
lost the Irish mail contract after q
bitter struggle, but II will enter with
all the more energy upon les project
for abolishing the Queenstown route
for American mails. Tae intention Is
to have the government build a pow
erful breakwater at Hollyhead and
make 1t the mall and passenger station
of transatlantic service. One effect
of this scheme would be to reduce the
time between New York and
London for transmission of malls on
an average of twenty hours per trip.
Passengers via Liverpool get to Lon
don In nine cases out of ten before
the mails are landed at Queenstown.
The present service gives general dis
satisfaction, and Holyhead landing
for passengers would be productive of
immense advantages.

Review of the Local Grain. Produce. AND
Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1.
The local general merchandise markets
opened up little slow today, as they naturally
would after the brisk trade of State fair week,
yet there is nothing of discouraging character
in the situation There were but very few
changes in quotations. Coffees. teas, sugars.
canned goods, cheese, coal oil, all are firm at
quotations. The New York Shipping List of
Sept. 20 says: There has been degree more of
animation in the general markets during the lat
ter part of the week. and confidence in the
stability of values, regards staple commodi-
ties, is gradually strengthening, in spite of the
large failures N the clothing trade during the
fOrepart of the week These failures were due,
not to legitimate causes, but to outside specnla-
ton. They are, therefore, without commercial
significance, and any one who supposed that
they indicated tendency to stagnation in the
currents of industry and exchange may be re-
assured. AS matter of fact most of the long
list OF mercantile failures during the year have
been due to misman agement rather than To any
inherent unsoundness OF husiness itself. Proba-
bly, nothing short OF what has occurred wonid
have forced reform in the radically wrong
methods of business which had obtained, for
the first step in the right direction Is the hardest
TO take, and the lesson taught by the result of
Over-strained credits and a violation of old
established business principles is wholesome,
since 1t has already led TO more conservative
methods.
The system of cheap credits. such as the issue
of accommodation notes and the dating Of bills
lhead, is one Of the first things which the bust
