LOOKING FOR BIG TRAVEL
THE RAILROADS PREPARING FOR
A HEAVY BUSINESS

| Savannah to Be Put on a Footing
With Southwest Georgis and Florida
Points for Tourist Travel From the
West-The Richmond and Danville's
Through Service -Savsnnah Work
ing for Competing Line North.
Assistant General Passenger Agent Hard
wick Of the Central railroad says the indi-
cations are that there will be a very heavy
passenger business this fall.
1.-THE arrangements are not yet
announced" he said yesterday, "but the
Central will have the best passenger service
it has ever had"
"What are Savannah's prospects for the
winter travelln he was asked.
VERY good. The Richmond and Dam
vile will remove all restrictions against Sa-
vanuah. 50 far as il is concerned, and will
put Savannah on the same footing for travel
from the western and middle states as all
the South Georgia and Florida tourist
points.
"Thers hos been heretofore rate So higher
on through tickets from several western
points via Savannah to Florida than by
Albany and Waycross, which has been re-
moved. Savannah is on the same footing
now as those points for through travel.
IhhODGh SLEEPEh SBhNICEs
1.-THE Richmond and Danville is operating
sleeping car service between Cincinnati
aud Charlesto 7 which will be Of benefit to
Savannah, affording a cheaper rate and
closer connection than heretofore. 1t is now
considering a proposition to operate
through sleeping>car schedule f-om the
west via Atlanta and Savannah, which
would give Savannah direct connection
with western points.
IA mass meeting of all the lines inter-
ested in the southern tourist travel will be
held at Cincinnati Sept. 90 to fix basis Of
rates for Florida travel and the tourist
travel generally. 1t is likely that lthe
same basis as in previous years viii be
adopted. Savannahis the only point likely
to be favored"
Mr.. Hard wick was asked whether the
Richmond and Dalyills would compete
with the Atlantic Coast Line for the tourist
travel from the north by makiag schedule
from New York to Savannah, and he re-
piled he did not thluk 1t likely.
MIGHT MAKE A THROUGH SCHEDULE.
The Richmond and DAnyille could make
a schedule south via Atlanta or via Char
lotte and Augusta. Both routes may be
considered too long. 1t has been rumored
that the South Bound which forms a short
connecting link between Savannah and tho
Richmond and Danville at Columbia would
make through traffic arrangements with
the Richmond and Danville by which Sa-
vannah would be given tourist
rates and that the Richmond and Danvile
would put on through schedule from
New York TO Savannah. The South Bound
affords the Richmond and Dauville the o.
portuuity Of doing this thing, but 1t is a
question il it will take advantage of it.
Such line would place Savannah on
footing with Jacksonville as tourist point.

The Days Talk on the Exchange
Floors.
Reports received from the large interior
cotton markets Of Memphis, Augusta and
st. Louis show that their receipts are con-
siderably behind last years mp to date,
which would seem to indicate that the crop
Is still late in these sections. Augustus re-
ceipts since Sept. l up to the close of last
week were only S,7S5 bales. against %, SAB
up to the same time last year.
The New York Herald of Saturday says:
Bulls maintain that the crop Is fully
l ,000, 600 bales smaller than that of last year
and that the large receipts at the ports do
not disprove this, as the bears themselves
claim that there are 5000 bales Of the old
crop held back. though the bulls think this
estimate too large. They regard the price
as abnormally low, and some contend that
the season is in many respects like that of
1884, when the market was sold down
sharply through a disbelief in reports Of
damage to the crop. The decline in Sep
TENDER and October of that year they recall
was succeeded by decided advance when
the damage to the crop became manifest

The Now York Commercial Bulletin
gives publicity to the following with regard
to the anti-compact insurance bill now be-

the last hours of tho session. Many of them
are not at all disturbed by it, however, be-
