Freight Business Improving.

The train records show that last week there
was total of 49, 947 cars received and forwarded
at indianapolis, of which number ID, 755 were
loaded cars. While this is not SO
favorable an exhibit as that of the
corresponding week 1884, it is an
improvement over the week ending Aug 8, as
the total movement of that week was but IL, 742
cars. of which number I3, 462 were loaded, which
makes the increase in the week end
ing Aug. IA 1928 loaded cars. East
bound shipments of grain and lumber
continue light, the Beeline only showing much
increase in tonnage. There is unusually
light movement of grain. lumber and live stock
for August, eastward. but improvement is
looked for the present week. Westward ship
ments are unprecedentedly heavy for the first
half of August. In addition to the heavy move
ments of wheat to ST Louis, mer-
chandise, such as dry goods, fancy notions
etc, show a large tonnage. North and south
roads are doing some better. but their volume of
traffic is not so heavy as should be, but better
movement is expected before the month closes
Local business is good. Working time is
again in vogue at several of the city freight
depots. Below give the number of cars re-
ceived and forwarded at this point in the week
ending Aug. Is. 1885, and the corresponding

confidence in improvement in that trade since
the Long Branch meeting The folly of doing
business as it has been done for year and
half has been fully demonstrated, and represent
atives of all the mills have made a verbal agree
ment to restrict production to orders and to re-
fran from competition outside their territorial
limits. It was at first intended to make an
alliance similar to that of the steel-rai manufac
turers of Germany, Belgium and England. but
it was thought wiser to make merely verbal
agreement to stop the competition that has been
so ruinous Of late. 1t is expected that rails will
be advanced to about $50, and that that will he

A Distinguished Family Party.

Letter IN London News.
The time is the morning OF July 80; the place
is the little Swiss village of Andermatt, 5000
feet above the sea, among the mountains; I'M
derneath is the st. Gothard tunnel. On one side
a steep rock casts it shadow over the green
sward closely cropped, and everywhere else the
foods of sunshine gid and glorify the pictur-
esque old house and the rugged street In this
one shady spot by the roadside family party
have established themselves to sketch. There
are three sweet young girls in simple blue
dresses, with straw hats, intently working at
their drawing, sitting on the grass with their
sketch book on their laps There is an older
lady made more comfortable with two chairs ard
an easel, sketching in oils. There is a man in a
wide straw hat with fair beard, anxiously at
tending to her wants and studying her comfort
little further off a gentleman holds by chain
beautiful greyhound. The carriages trot along
the road the coachmen crack their whips but
none of the party ever look up. They are too
intent upon their work. Neither does any one
seem to regard them, as peasants and tourists
pass and repass over the little stone bridge. Yet
there are few in England who would not wish to
glance at this simple picture, for the man in the
straw hat is the Crown Prince of Germany, the
future Emperor, and the lady sketching in oils
is the Grown Princess, the eldest daughter of
our Queen, and the young ladies seated on the
grass are the granddaughter of the greatest
monarchs of Europe.

he percentages were as follows:


Cloud Over the Central Traffic Association.
1t is to be feared that the results of the meet
ing in New York, last week, of the so-caled
Central Traffic Association will not be so favora
BILE the face Of the first returns promised
There is good authority for stating that it is
hardly probable that Orlando Smith
will accept the position of general
manager of the association. In fact, he SAYS he
will not and one would hardly think he would
leave his present lucrative position for so un
pleasant one. There seems to be little question
as to Mr.. Midgely accepting the position of
assistant general manager. But the worst
feature of the case is that the roads which do
the most mischief in the way of rate-cuttng
were not represented at the meeting. Take for
instance, the Chicago & Alton road, which has
since July L carried 81 per cent. of the
business out of St. Louis east
bound, and at cut rates, was
not represented, although the general manager
of the road was in New York during the entire
week. There was no representative of the
Michigan Central another rate-cutung road.
Officials of the Decline, as we'll, stood
aloof, and Mr.. Newell, of the Lake Shore
lodged the vote all the more vital cushions
looking to maintenance of rates. So that,
taking it all in ALL there is slim basis on which
to build hopes of a restoration of rates, to-day,
and their maintenance.
