its first week of Sept. increased $4,000.
Dre1el, Morgan & Co. have large loans
out in Oregon Transcontinental sureties
and had to brace up that bubble by work
ing the market through London. That of
course set the Hebrew contingent dabbling
in arbitrage. In one word everybody and
everything seemed to favor bull turn.
Although Mr.. Fink is assuring the public
that perfect harmony prevails among the
railroad managers it is very well known
most of them neither wish nor can afford
to maintain any pooling arrangement.
Utter Generalization prevails among the
railroad managers and especially among
those of the so called Vanderbilt roads.
The cutting of rates must go on increasing
and the fact that it has to be resorted to at
a season of the year when shipments are
heaviest and when there ought to be plenty
of stuff for every line to carry is particu-
larly significant. The New York Central
has already suffered a heavy loss of bust
ness. It's great feeders, the Lake Shore
and the Michigan Central have naturally
Central depot say in 1882 they carried 3S
per cent. of all the east bound
freight from Chicago, while now
they carry only about % per cent. In the
west the loss seems to be even more serious.
Thus, for example, from Indianapolis the
Vanderbilt system hauled, in 1882, A per
cent. of the whole tonnage against only
about II per cent. this year. At Cincin-
natl and St. Louis Notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts to prevent it the loss is
about 10 per cent. The reports concern
ing the probability of a traffic arrange
ment between the Lake Shore and Wa
bash proved to be an invention. No such
scheme is entertained and Gould is re-
ported as looking rather toward az ar
rangement with the Erie thus giving cold
shoulder to both the Vanderbilt system
and the Delaware & Lackawanna in which
he Is supposed to be so largely interested.
There is also some paralleling contem-
plated by the Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
cinnati & Indianapolis between st. Louis
g. Kansas City. According to Bradstreets
the loss in traffic Of the Lake Shore and
the Michigan Central amounts to nearly
Il of the IS per cent. of the business
awarded to them by the adjustment Of the
percentages in July of last year. The
weather reports are unfavorable though
they have probably been exaggerated as is
always the case in Wall street with news
likely to affect the market. The bear wits
talked even of skating being INDUCED in
IN Iowa and said that "Charley" Osborn
threw 10000 shares on the market because
the water froze in his office. Another for
ty-eight hours will show to certainty
whether the cron crop is likely to be seri-
ously affected. Should frost continue,
speculation in Chicago will again run
mad and the higher grain and provisions
are put the less chance the railroads will
have to get anything to carry. The report
of the consolidation of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis with the Rock Island is ridi-

COTTON CROP PROSPECTS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-The September
cotton returns to the department of agri-
culture are less favorable than those of
August. he principal cause of injury is
drought, which reduced the prospect in
every state except in Florida and Tennes-
see. The decline has been the greatest in
Texas. In North Carolina and Virginia the
temperature has been too low at night,
with serious drought. The Gulf states re-
port more or less general prevalence of
the caterpillar and ball worm at many
points. The general average condition is
reduced to "a. The state averages
are as follows: Virginia 70, North Carolina
7S, South Carolina 10, Georgia 20, Florida

In September, 1879, the general average
condition was IS. In 1881 it was 20. 1t
was so in the great crops of the years of
1880 and 1882. In some counties the
draught continues, and in others recent
