THERE is a gentleman IN Milford who
owns a farm at Nassau and a -four mill
three miles east of Lincoln. He has been
I'm the habit each Fall and Winter Of
moving by rail the corn and wheat grown
ON the farm at Nassau. the nearest station
AT that end, to Lincoln, the nearest sta
tion TO his mill. The distance is twenty
five miles, Recently he addressed let
ter to the head Office of the company
asking how much money car would
cost to be hauled this distance of twenty
five miles with a weight of twenty-eight
tons. one thousand bushels of corn. The
answer came promptly that fifty dollars
would be the charge, The gentleman
considered this extortion and refused to
order the car, He had the cOrn-the
came number of fbushels-oue thousand,-
bauled in wagons and dehverd to his
mill for the same money, five cents a
bushel that the railroad company wanted
to charge him for the work. By this he
saved a miles haul at Nassau and athree
mile haul at Lincoln, besides the trouble
aud expense OF loading and unloading
the car. If this Is not eXtortiOn, what is
il? At this rate-ffty dollars for haul
of twenty-five miles-a car from New
York to California would cost 50, 600.
The charge on a car load OF peaches, or
other fruit from the Sacramento Valley,
in California, to New York, is but S375 90,
while from Milford to Boston-one-sey-
eulh the distance-we pay S2I7 90. A
few wears ago one of the leading railroad
attorneys of New York city, with offices
on Wall street, said that forty-five dollars
was a big charge for a car of peaches
from Milford to Jersey City, and was a
price at which the railroad company
could make big money. He also said
that if we had a competing line of rail.
road not more than this amount would
be charged How long will the people
of this State submit to being thus robbed |?
There we're days two years ago, during
peach season, when six thousand dollars
we're paid in freights on peaches from
thts town alone, and the same promises
to be equally as true the coming season
Will the people continue to submit TO
this No wonder the farmers-the pro
ducers of the universe-are growing weary
and dissatisfied with their very existence.
If the charges for hauling peaches were
but half that now paid the difference in
the freight charges alone would give the
growers a fair return for their labor

perhaps you would not think so, but
very large proportion of diseases in New
York comes from carelessness about catch
ing cold" says Dr. Cyrus Edison. at is
such simple thing and so common that
very few people, unless it is a case of Pneu-
monia, pay any attention to a cold. There
are a great many cases of catarrh and con-
sumption which have their origin in this
neglect of the simplest preeaution Of every
day life. The most sensible advice is, when
you have one, get rid Of it as soon as posi-
Bile. By all means do not neglect it," DR.
Edison does not tell you how to cure a cold
but we will. Take chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It will relieve the lungs, aid ex-
pectoratiou, open the secretious and soon eff

Two new sturgeon boats-and they are
beauties r. one belonging to Nicholas
Plummer, the Minnie P, and the other
to Washington Cannon, the Helen B, y
raced from Mispillion Light House on
Tuesday. out to and around the suukeH
schooner, OH West Flats, and return to
the Light House, a distance of eleven
miles The "Helen B" rounded the
schooner when the minnie P" was a
hundred and fifty yards to the rear, when
her captain turned back without rounding
the schooner. The Helen B" came on
ahead until she grounded within a half
mile Of the goal, when the Minnie Pn
came up on her and went home first The
Helen B" won the race, however, as she
sailed the course and rounded the schoon-
er which the Minnie P" did not do.
There is very little difference in the sail
ing qualities ofthe two boats. The con !
test was friendly one, no prize being of
fered or no wager being made.

Suns Cotton Review


 New York; Sept. A-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton advanced to points, eped 9s this hs and and 4d adyaSsed o % %ROn 6g with sales of. 555,oOO bales. New Orleans vanced points. New York rose 1-l6c, and so- did New Orleans and St. Louis, while there was rise of 1sc at Savannah, Charles more. Liverpool advanced l-64d on the spot with sales of 12 600 bales Futures rose 5-64d, though s-64d of this was afterward lost are estimated at $500 to 1000 bales, against SPA bales last week for the same day and sS9l bales for the same day last year. m ..
 One New York operator sold about 20,000 bales today. The majority of crop reports say picking will be well over by october l; on failure of Manchester to respond to ad- vances. Galveston reported favorable weather and said that no damage had been done by the cold wave. Liverpool shorts were covering on bad crop reports. A Fall River dispatch said: Mills here and at Providence have enough orders for print cloths to prevent accumulation of stocks for some weeks; spinners expected to buy shortly
 Port receipts were 26,2s5 bales, against 16Ol5 bales for the same day week ago and 2S,946 bales for the same day year ago; thus far this week 79.2S7 bales against 44,203 bales for the same time last year.
 Today's features: The bear position was bombarded by heavy bull artillery. and the shots told like red hot shot Liverpool was was active and higher mn Nes 6dd t Bros @ s6maed oad ha Manchester was tirmer the spot markets were more active at rising prices, the eX- ports showed an increase. much of the weak long interest has latterly been elimina ted, and cotton seemed to be in stronger hands. Even very heavy realizi ng produced com paratiyely little impression, and that only for the moment. The market showed elas- ticity and undenabe strength, and rose on brisk buying for New York, southern and European accounts. Liverpool bought 2O,- OOO bales in the liquidation of StraddleS. The receipts al the ports were more liberal, but the increase was believed to be due to the prevailing high prices and to the fact that the hot weather of late has caused prema- ture opening of bolls. There will be rush of cotton for a time, but the bulls contend that the crop is short beyond question and that sooner or later this will be patent to the most sceptical. Europe IS beginning to give more credence to unfavorable crop ad- vices as the increased spot business in Liv- erpool goes to show, The speculation today was the largest of any day for some weeks and the late prices were about the best Of the session.

Chicago Change.


 Chieagei Sept. 2f.-Wheat was unmistaka- bly, strong today, and for what reason 1t was difficult to say. From a superficial point of view 1t would appear though the diVis- ion of the warehouse commission yesterday, and the cancelling of the licenses of the ele- VatOrs were responsible for the firmness, but when 1t is remembered that the matter is now to be carried into the courts, where it is likely to drag for year or more, it is not clear why there should be any inHnedi- ate uneasiness over the question of storage capacity. The market was palpably short and offerings became scarce after the opening it was reasonable to expect an up turn when covering WAS attempted Brad streets reported an increase of 3,SH,O0 bushels in the worlds available supply, up, on the announcement of which prices eased off, but subsequently, another rally occurred and the close was quite strong. December wheat opened from @ G 5S to oS@sc 5os sold I lqe be 13sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was firm and 1c higher than yesterday.
 Corn made a moderate gain today, but the strength of wheat was enrolled to the credit of 1t. Receipts of corn hold up well, reports from the interior are to the effect that farm hand than the trade has bargained for, and that it is now being marketed to make room for the new crop, which is ready to be housed. May corn opened at 2S1sc, sold be- tween that and 2914c, closing at the outside, 8sd+c higher than yesterday. Cash corn was unchanged.
 No feature appeared in oats. The trade in this grain has fallen into a rut, no busi- ness having been transacted for some tme May oats closed 1sc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were steady to lac lower.
 Provisions-There was nothing doing in provisions of any particular interest; Llqul- dation in October continued to be the prin- cipal business, selling of Hong stuff being influenced by the weakness of the hog mar, ket. The strength of wheat probably saved the product from serious loss. Closing prices were 7lac higher than yesterday Tor October pork, 21ac lower for October lard. and 5c higher for October ribs
