In speaking Of the sale OF the Houston d
Texas Central the Financial chronicle says
1t has been reported that MIR, Gould was asked
- Join in the purchase but declined TO do so,
for the reason that his mter,s st extended 10 ST.
Louis rather than to New Orleans. The Texas
Central road has heretofore been in antagor ism
with the Gould roads in Texas. but the transfer
to the southern Pacific syndicate Is probably
satisfactory TO him, as the Atlantic Il Pacific
and ST. Louis " san Francisco are owned
Jointly by the Missouri Pacific aud South
Hdrtut uuuhStAe, huh tlG Ntluptl-
tive through business OF the Texas Pacific and
Southern Pacific is pooled under agreement.
There is every reason to suppose, therefore thal
the Texas Central and its feeders will be worked
in harmony with the rest oil these TWO ereat
southwest systems, which now divide between
them that great triangular section OF the United
States of which ST Louis, New Orleans and III

Wall street phrase they have conner ON that

passes the hope of a great railway line flom the

will probably be realized. The line would be al

The cost Of the English channel tunnel has

one of the hardest stlathed rocks known. and
| finds the cost TO be eSS per yard, or, roughly

twenty four miles long. sir Edward goes so fai
as TO admit that II may cost fl0O 900 per mile, oil
