ASTORIA & SOUTH COAST.
ASTORIA, Sept. 1f.-Judge q. A..
Bowlby, one Of the principal stock
holders in the Astoria & South Coas'
railway, says that the reported sale
Of that property TO the Southern
Pacific company for $4,000 il a
myth and has no foundation. ln
fact, he said, negotiations were pend
ing between the stockholders OF the
Astoria and South Coast railway
and the Southern Pacific company
for a loan, which was TO be secured
by the stock Of the Astoria q South
Coast company; but even these nego-
Citations fell through. The Astoria
stockholders have an Indebtedness
on the road they are desirous Of pay
ing of, but they have never thought
of selling the road at the absurdly
low figure Of $4,000, as the road al
ready represents an Investment OF
oyer 100000.

The competition of the Spanish trans
Atlantic line, which, though DO"
without subsidy, will most surely
receive other concessions from the
Mexican government, as 1t has from
the Spanish government, and this
line, with the Ward line, are abund-
antly able to take care of this trade
All freight fron western American
cities for Mexico comes by rail, anc
but little is received from Philadel
phia Or Baltimore.
