AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

a Further Improvement In Freight Business.
The train records for the week ending July
rs show quite q handsome increase in business
over that Of the week ending the 21st, but in
comparison with the movement Of cars
In the corresponding week of 1887 the ex-
hibit 10 not so favorable. However, the number
of cars handled this year compares quite favor
ably with preceding years. East-bound there
has been some improvement in shipments of
grain and provisions to the seaboard, but the
movement OF grain to the lakes is the most Inn
2ortant feature. the shipments to Detroit and
Sandusky leading those TO Cleveland and Toledo
Export business 10 still unusually light. At the
corresponding period last year export business
was heavy, the C., H. q d. and the u Is 81
L. & G. carrying a good share OF the tramc.
Shipment of live stock in the last week fell on
she Eastern market having become giutted
through the low rates which prevailed and
which are still in force on some OF the trunk
lines. West-bound the tonnage is still increas-
ing handsomely. and freight men are of the
opinion that during the next four months it viii
be the largest ever experienced by the through
lines One reason assigned Tor this In
crease is that considerable business
which IN years past has been shipped
TOQuQ - No
midland routes, on account OF the quicker time
made by them. North -and-soutn roads are do
ing q good business, the movement Of grain
from local points forming an important portion
of the tonnage handled. Local business is ex-
csIlent and improving daily. New oats are be-
ginning to move and wheat is also coming to
market from all directions. Large quantities Of
produce are passing over the roads from all sec
lions, fully three hundred carloads of water
melons alone having been handled at Indian
apolis In the last week. This week fruit of In
diana growth will begin to move briskly. The
tonnage of coal is also large for midsummer,
Western dealers stocking mp with not only an
thracite but with Goals from Indiana mines. It
is stated that by next month the shipments
north will be nearly as heavy as in mid win
ter. as the market for Indiana block coal in the
Northwest is expanding greatly. Below is given
the number of cars received and forwarded at
indianapolis in the week ending July %, as
compared the corresponding weeks in 1887 and
1886:
