All the Santa Fe Shops Are Now to Have
Them.

All tine santa Gc SHOPS Are NOW to Have
Them.
The results of the equipment of the
Santa Fe shops in this city with an i'm
proved engine and air compressor have
proved that compressed air is power in
railroad work, saving time and labor
and materially increasing the amount of
output, and are SO far satisfactory that
the mechanical department has decided
to equip the shops at the six principal
divisions in a similar manner. Six now
air compressors, manufactured by the
Rand Drill company of Tarrytown, n.
Y, in all respects similar to the one in
operation at Topeka but of less capacity,
have been ordered for the shops at Chi
cago, Fit. Madison, Argentine, Arkan-
sas City, La Junta and Ration.
The new compressors are now en- route
to their respective destinations and will
be placed in position Immediately on ar

Suns Cotton Review.


 New York, Oct. 24.-The Suns cotton re. view says: Spot cotton here was dull and unchanged. Liverpool advanced 1-16s on the spot, futures there advanced 2l2 to 3i2 points closing barely steady.
 The exports from the ports thus far this season aggregate OFT bales, against ESQ., SIS bales ill the same time last season. The Chronicle states that on the whole the weather conditions in the south have been satisfactory during the week, and that pick ing has made good progress; that advices crop except in portions of southwest Texas; that killing frosts occurred in sections of Mississippi and Tennessee in the early part of the week, and that a Memphis corre- spondent states that the top crop has been killed throughout that section.
 The Liverpool news today was disappont- ing. Prices there advanced, to be sure, both for futures and spots, with fair business doing, but the rise was regarded as an in> yesterday. At first prices here advanced slightly, but owing to the absence of buying orders the improvement was quickly lost and prices slowly declined There was somc selling to realize on yesterdays improve mept and New Orleans also sold here, con- tributing to the depression. The decline, however, was slight, owing to the dullness of speculation, which was the worst feature. Bombay, Sept. 25.-Our cotton crop has not been doing well. From the middle of June to the middle of August the greater portion northwest provinces, was deluged with rains. Since then the weather has been prac- tically dry. Crops are drying up and un- less copious rains fall again, scarcity, if not famine, is feared over a large tract of the country.
