CDccial Cars for Private Use,

According to q New York railroad-man
who has fancy for statistics the railroad
managers of this country have not less
than S5OOO,OOO of their stockholders
money invested in special cars for their
own private use. This investment not only
does not draw any interest, but it involves
the constant sending of more good
money after it. These palaces on
wheels are for the sole dedication Of the
general officers, whether they are bent on
business or pleasure. Even if these cars
lasted forever they would keep perpetual
hole in the dividend accounts Of the COM
panies owning them, but. unfortunately.
they have to be frequently repaired and
improved at the cost of thousands and
thousands of dollars annually, and magnifi-

A very high wind has prevailed here

from the binding showers OF gravel and

SOUTH BOSTON,.
The Extent of It's Tobacco Market.
lCorrespondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.I

SoUTH BosroN, Va, March %, 1890.
Transactions in tobacco on the South
Boston market have been exceedingly
large since the opening of the new tobacco
year last October, but for the past two or
three months have been phenomenally
great and satisfactory to the friends of the
town. The receipts at the warehouses have
gone far beyond any previoue year, and the
market has kept up steady brilliancy in
prices that has astonished not only the
farmers but the dealers themselves. The
tobacco sold embraces all varieties and
grades. and our tobaccOnists contend that
the wants of manufacturers can come nearer
fulflment here than on any other market
by reason of this great variety of offerings,
which has always been o characteristic of
South Boston. The receipts of tobacco
also showed the most impressive and graft
fying fact that South Boston is steadily
and surely widening her territory and in
creasing her fame. Shipments now regu-
larry reach here from distant points in Nir-
sinia and North Carolina, and even Ten
nessee, and in the majority of cases every
new shipper becomes permanent friend
and patron Of the market.

PETERSBURG, March 2s.-The visit abroad
of Colonel Asa Rogers, of this city, at this
time is regarded by some as i'll the interest
of the reported syndicate which is to con-
troll the Norfolk and Western railroad.
The real object of his visit, however, is be-
lieved to be in the interest Of the Roanoke
canal property. in which General Malone
and Senators Cameron and Plumb and
other gentlemen are large stockholders.
This is very valuable property, the de-
velopment OF which would be highly
profitable TO the owners. Very little Gre
dcnce is now attached to tho rumors about
the change of management of the Norfolk
and Western railroad, with which General
Mahone's name has been SO prominently
