Cocaine is becoming one of the popular rem
edies of the day. Its function of allaying the
sensibilty of the nerves OF mucous membranes
ana other tissues renders it valuable in surgical
operations and in the treatm tnt of throat ana
lung affections. 1t also possesses curative prop
critics, and can be used advnntageously where
there is local irritation TO be removed and re-
1ex nervous disturbances to be prevented. In
consequence of its remarkable qualities and OF
the prominence given to it in the medical treat
ment received by General Grant it is now COM
ing into general use, Hay fever Is not by any
means the only disease for which it is declared
TO be an effective remedy. The chemists, who
are compounding cocaine tabods for the noses
of catarrhal patients, are also putting up
cocaine troches for the throats of sufferers from
bronchial and pulmonary complaints. There
is reason for believing that the market VIII
speedily be flooded with cocaine lozenges
cough drops. soothing-syrups, patent-plasterS
and every kind of cure-all. Advantage will be
taken of the sudden reputation which this SIN
gularly effective curative agent and anmsthetic
has obtained. Cocaine will be recognized 10y
atent-medicne manufacturers rs n popular
catchword and the business of prescribing and
compoundng It will be speedily oycrdunc.
That there is need of great caution IN the
promiscuous application of so powerful an
agent ia cocaine TO every i'll 10 which flesh is
heir re lurcs no argument. While il isnot by
any means new drug, It's Characteristic
property of deadcniDg the sensibiity of nerves
has only been known for Il comparatively short
period. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed 10
enable the medical profession 10 Judge OF what
may be called systemic or general effects OF
the use of cocaine II would be natural TO sup
pose that an agent capable of producing such
potent results when applied to surfaces where
nerves terminate must affect the entire nervous
system when it Is freely and constantly used
There is no more interesting question in thera-
peutcs at the present time than the reflex in
hucnces upon nervous centres and physical
organization Of such agents as cocaine. Cen
eral Grants physicians can supply valuable in
formation to medical science by an auihori-
tatiye statement of their experiences in apply
ing the drug in that remarkable case, the de-
tails Of which were widely published and closely
followed by physicians. Until more is known
of the general effects of cocaine, too free use
of il without medical supervision is to be
deDrecatcd.

About August /, when there was open COM
petition but at rates much higher than are now
charged the Vanderbilt lines took but small
part of the freight, but afterward, entering
into the competition more sharply, secured
nearly as large a proportion as they did last
week. When the attempt was made to raise
rates. the result shown by the percentages
about August 20 was disastrous both to the
Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania lines, the
outside lines getting large share OF the busl-
ness. But by putting rates below the actual
cost of transportation, the Vanderbilt lines get
So per cent of the whole and leave the outside
lines only'about 21 per cent, and the shipments
last week were remarkably large, amounting
to As. .161 tons, against 2S,202 last year and
40, 524 for the same week in 1882. But the
rates charged are such that it may almost be
said that the more freight any road secures the
more money it loses. Last week the decline In
stocks was greatest in the Northwestern stocks
and Manitoba, in the coal stocks, and in Erie
and New-York Central and some Southern Sc
curities. On the other hand, there was rise
in Union Pacific, Oregon Navigation, Missouri
Pacific, and Illinois Central. The average at
the close was $50 90, against sol 50 Septem-
Der 5, and $54 II August II, the course of
the market having closely followed that OF last
year for several weeks past
The bank statement shows a decline IN re-
serve, though the surplus is still nearly
$50.000,000 and the total exceeds by more
than $40, 900 900 that Of last year at the same
date The Treasury gained during the week
$1,255,0 in legal tenders, 1924, 1886 in net
gold, and lost S498, 1876 in net silver, so that
its gain accounts for only about $1,500,O00
while the banks lost 81 443, 500. Money in
considerable amo unit was shipped to tho in
terror, and there are interesting stories told OF
bank presidents going about the city IN cabs
hunting for small bills, because their CORE
spondents at the South and West do not want
to pay the expense OF shipping specie. They
desire, it seems, that the Government should
bear the cost Of transporting their money for
them but MIR. Manning declines, and deserves
credit for declining. The receipts of the
Treasury in silver at New-YOrk were lower
last week than in any previous week for some
years, being less than 10 per cent of the total
receipts. Gold is now coming into the Treas
ury more freely, legal tenders being wanted
elsewhere Bat the improvement in business
il still moderate. The exchanges at all clear
ing houses outside OF New-YOrk were only
Dor cent larger in August than in the same
month last year, when the amount was smaller
than in any oiher month for five years, ana the
amount for the two weeks ending September
II exceeds that of the corresponding weeks
last year by only per cent.

Our Trenton letter this morning indicates

the nrospect of an increase in the rate is not

bad odors.
Politics in the southern tier of counties III
this State from Republican point OF view may
be described as slightly mixed. According TO
correspondent of The TRIBUNE writing from
Elmira, the friends of Mr.. Ira Davenport are
busily canvassing those districts in his behali
as a candidate for Governor. A strong sentl-
ment in his favor has been developed which
has gained force since Republican voters
have learned that Mr.. Davenport was not
dummy for some one else. The whole southern
tier. however, cannot be reckoned for any one
man. since General Carr and several other posi-
bic candidates have active friends III several
counties. This variety of sentiment is, on the
whole, an encouraging sign. 1t indicates that
the preliminary canvass is in the hands OF the
voters and that the choice of the Republican
convention this year will be the man who is
most liked, not only in the southern tier, but
throughout the State.
