CHOLERA IN FRANCE.
General News.

The most important news on the
stock market Tuesday was the an
nouncement that an immediate reduc-
ton in telegraph rates would be made
by the Baltimore ( Ohio, the Postal
and the Bankers and Merchants telc-
graphic combination to western cities.
This is the actual beginning of what
promises 10 be great telegraph war
with the three companies above mem
toned on one side and the Western
Union onthc other. In a stock market,
which had not lost all sense of shock
from repeated violent blows, such a
prospect would have influenced prices,
but Western Union did not tiuctuatc
more than Oh an ordinary day, and was
strong at the close. The new rival lines
are quite powerful corporations, and
the Western Union is a splcndidly E.
quiped and wonderfully organized syE-
tenn, with fair reserve Of financial
strength. The fight viii intcrcs. the
public in giving it the cheapest and
best Geographic service in the world,
The contest win be bitter, and proba-
bly, long one. The effect on The cam
ings OF the companies, al tirsj glance,
would seem to be bad, but Il clIoapcn-
ing of the tolls between great centcrs
has frequently resulted in profit from
an Increasing business. While i, is
known JUS what the result of d rail-
road war would be in this respect, the
result OF war between telegraph COM
panies is problematic.
