THE SUMS COTTON REVIEW.

NEW YORK. Oct. The Suns cotton re- view says
 Cotton declined 12 to 15 points. The down. ward course of prices was interrupN Nd for a short time by rally due to momentary re- covery in Liverpool, but the decline was soon resumed, and the market closed weak at about the lowest prices of the day, with sales of 143 ,SUo bales. Liverpool declined 3-32d on the spot and 2l2 to points for future de- livery, closing barely steady, with spot sales of 15 ,000 bales. In Manchester yarns were in buyers favor; in cloths there was little doing. New Orleans declined Il to 12 points.
 Port receipts, l6 472 bales, against 50 ,025 bales this day last week and 42,775 bales the same day last year.
 The receipts at New Orleans tomorrow are estimated at 19 1000 to 20, ,000 bales, against 1922 bales on the same day last week and l3, bales the same day lastyear

AN ABSURD SCHEME.

A resident of Hanford, Kings County,
thinks that railroad from his town to
Los Angeles would do that section more
good than the proposed San Joaquin Val
ley Railroad. His idea is that Hanford
would so obtain competitive railroad rates
to the East through the agency of the
Santa Fe road. Traffic Manager Leeds
punctures this notion by the simple state
ment of the fact that the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe are in combination and
not in competition on overland business.
1t is quite probable that the agitation of
the scheme, should it attain to the proper
tons of an agitation. will be found to have
Southern Pacific animus behind it. 1t is
most likely one of the many fliers which
have been thrown out to flutter before the
eyes of the people to blind them to their
real interests.
Cheap local rates are the desideratum
now in California. These. with an open
water route, are the key to the situation.
A road from the upper San Joaquin to Los
Angeles holds out comparatively few in
ducements Much of it would be through
an unproductive country and over diff
cult grades. 1t would be merely link in
an overland system which offers no pros
pect of relief.
The road from San Francisco to Bakers
field is over a dead level and through a
country capable of producing bountifully
on almost every acre, with or with out irri-
cation. according to location. 1t will put
the valley in cheap communication with
the largest city and local market and the
finest harbor on the Pacific Coast The
natural outlet of the whole territory north
of Tehachapi is at San Francisco Bay.
Any attempt to interfere with this tendency
would be commercial and geographical
absurdity. 1t would be as sensible TO try
to turn the San Joaquin River over Te-
hachapi Pass as to try to divert the trade
of the valley over that route. if the bust
ness men of San Francisco will supplement
the natural conditions in their favor by a
wise and enterprising policy. Let them
build the valley road. and nothing more
will be heard of this Tehachapi route.

DECLINED WITH THANKS.

1t is not possible to construe the reply of
the Japanese Government to Mr.. Cleye-
lands proposition to mediate between
China and Japan otherwise than as a DO.
lite declination. Nothing could be more
courteous than the terms in which Mr..
Cleveland is informed that his services in
the settlement of the misunderstanding be-
tween China and Japan are not required.
There Is considerable point in the sugges-
tion of the Japanese Foreign Minister.
that the success of the Japanese army
was such that peace proposals might come
directly through China. This is a diplo-
matte way of intimatlng that In the ordi-
nary affairs of life it is the under dog in a
fight that cries "enOugh." The Japanese
episode viii now be added to other bril-
liant achievements of President Cleveland
in his capacity as general manager of ma
tional affairs. The American people will
silently wonder why President that had
made such a mess of his own country's
affairs should volunteer to adjust foreign
quarreIs of which he has no exceptional
knoYledPe.
