COUNTING THE COST.

Money losses Caused by the Great
Railroad Strike in the Southwest.
The following estimates of the losses have
been obtained from railway officials and
shippers The estimates only include the
blockade on the Gould lines. Tue record of
the freight department shows that had there
been no disturbance or strike there would
have been moved between initial and desti>
nation points 2S0000,GOJ pounds of freight,
of a'ue Of $59,OO0,OoO This vast amount
Of freight has not m oved at all, but is under
blockade in warehouses, d,pots, cars and
manufacturing establishments. The damage
done to railway property during the same
period is put at $4,000 dollars. The cost of
attempting to operate the lines which have
not been operated, expense for police pro-
lection, is 10000 dJllars. Til, loss of rev.
enue to the system is 2,2)', 900 doilsrs. The

during this ime for wages, material, etc,

COMMERCIAL.
TRADE INTERESTS.
Variety of Causes Keep Back the
| Tide of Business.

"A Variety of Causes Keep Back the
Tide of Business.
The business interests of the country have
suffered from variety of causes during the
past week, chief among which has been the
industrial situation. Strikes have been ex-
tended, distribution of merchandise has been
prevented in a large area. confidence has
been shaken and the normal currents of fl,
nance as well as CT commerce. have been
checked. Interference with TRANSPORTATION
has not been confined to strikes on railroad
systems Many cities have suffered more or
less inconvenience from strikes on street
railways, and the Country roads in many part,
OF the nation have been so bad as to greatly
retard traffic. Under such conditions
there is necessity for avoiding pessimistic
views. The ordinary change of weather will
iessore the highways in a short time. minor
strikes are not difficult of adjustment, ard the
week closes with a more hopeful prospect that
the wlldness Of labor organization for mere
agGressiveness has been checked. Ap
probation of the fact is gradually gain,
Ing ground among the masses that la
Dor as we'll as capital is sufferer by tn Sc
impediments to trade; that while the strikes
have disturbed the transportation of merchan.
disc and lessened demand by weakening the
purchasing power of consumers, an important
curtailment of production is also being effected
leading to steadiness of prices which is of it,
self OF some benefit. Should the present disturb.
ances be OF long continual ce, overproductiop
as an alleged ciuse of depression may at least
be removed, and there is some comfort in
knowing that the material resources of the
country are undimnished; that there i, abun-
lance Tor all to subsist on for an untold De,
riod, even though primitive methods NAV
have to be resorted to as means of effectinp
distribution.
In financial sense the effect of such un-
toward conditions have been ref cted in the
fact deposits in the banks of New York have
decreased during the week more than $11, :
10000 and their loss in money reserves has
been in excess or $1,000, 900, or at the rae of
100000 per day and more. Their is sur
plus reserve remaining, however, and it is a
noticeable circumstance that the number CT
failures diminished.

ate to-day memorial of an auti>Chinese con-
vention held at S ,cramento, CAL, praying for
relief from the Chinese evil. After the trans
action of morning business Mr.. L)gan's bill
to increase the efficiency of the army, was
taken up. Mr.. L,gan had read letter from
General Sheridan favoring the proposed in-
crease in the army force. A letter from Gen.
Schofield approving the bill was also read.
This afternoon quite tilt occurred be-
tween Logan AM Plumb. while the formers
bill! to increase the efficiency af the army was
discussed. Mr. P.umo oppose i the measure.
teHause, he said, it was intended to cover the
labor strk, Mr.. l. ,gan denied this AMI de-
clared he had the bill formulated long before
there were any labor disturbances well,
replied AIR. Plumb, 4 will say that it is a
very remarkable circums lance. If this is a
government of ths people we do not want an
army to put down hibernate difficulties, but
if it is despot Wa are living under, very
well. we needed larger army for this puc-
pose.'
TUEsDAY.-The consideration of General
L'gan's army bill again occupied large por.
tion of the time of the Senate to-day The
bill, which prop )ses to incre lse the army and
thereby create additional ex oense to the
Government, is meeting with considerable
opposition. 1t is, indeed, very doubtful
whether it can pass the Senate. The opposi-
sition is by no means political, as number of
Republican Senators have alre ,dy spokeg
against it.
