Miscellaneous Notes.

The Nevada and Minden branch Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has been completed to Che
topa Kan.
The mileage to be constructed from Fort
Worth, Tex. to Arkansas City, to connect the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe with the Atchison is
$40 miles. Of this 100 miles have been graded,
and 40 miles of rails laid
Receiver Brown of the Texas Pacific. reports
the road all steerailed from Fort Worth to Tex
arkana; that In week it will be all steel-railed
to Shreveport and that in three months the en-
tire transcontnental line will be steeled.
Fifty carloads OF rails arrived at Tavares,
Fla, last week, for the Tavares, Apopka & Gulf
railroad, and the work of construction will now
proceed at the rate of one mile per day. About
six hundred men are at work on the line
The Fitchburg road has entered the field as a
competitor for the Southern peach trade with
the New York 81 New England. The fruit comes
over the West Shore and Hoosac Tunnel &
dred miles more than by the New England line,
but the time is said to be as quick, through
| avoidance Of the ferry.
The Lehigh Valley Company has made ar
| rangements with the National Storage Company,
situated at Communipaw, for the handling of
their -four receipts. They will give the same &C
commodaton ten days Free other roads;
after that time -four not ordered will be consid
cred in store, for which warehouse receipt will
be issued carrying charge of two cents, and
The prediction is made that the transconti-
mental railroad troubles will never be settled
until the Atchison. Topeka e. Santa Fe's de-
mand that the Pacific coast business shall be di-
vivided into two pools is assented to- The
southern California business is growing much
more rapidly than that OF the northern part of
the State Of the southern pool the Atlantic &
Pacific should have so per cent, and of the
northern pool it would probably be content with

English railway companies Jared badly. The
total gross receipts exclusive of balances brought
forward, were 925, 900. $50, decrease of 4410.
996. or exactly l GIG per cent. compared with
the first half of 1885. This result is attributable
to two causes over and above the dullness of
trade-the extremely severe weather in the
earlier part of the year, and the reductions in
rates, which latter is liable to prove permanent.
That the Chicago, Burlington 6 Northern
has cost some $4,000 per mile in cash,
while the Atchison. Northwest and other
roads are constructing new extensions at
$4,000 to $4,000, is exciting consider

ment of the Chicago, Burlington 81 Northern.

road, that it runs through well-settied region.
