Grain Will Go south.
Chicago News.)

The managers of the Joint Traffic As
ISOLATION are coming to the conclusion
that they do not want to fight the South
ern lines on the export grain business
and have ordered an advance of > cents

seaboard. a railroad man says the Ie-
suit OF the railroad mems action is not

way Will he shipped by the lake lines,
and the bulk Of it will lind its outlet by
the way OF New Orleans and Calves
ton.
The active warfare inStituted by the
Southeastern lines has had its fruit al
ready, for the official statements for the
six months ended with July show that
New Orleans has assumed first place as
Il gratn-eNporting port. Notwithstand-
Ing that the exports of corn from Jan.
to Aug. / show an increase of 81 800, 900
bushels, compared with the same period
for 1895, New York has shared in that in
crease only to the extent of 5000. 900
bushels. as against 100000 increase
shown by New Orleans. Baltimore shows
Il good gain. but not TO compare with
that OF Galveston. which shows an in
Jcrease of 100000 bushels. The showing
is interpreted as demonstrating that the
grain market has a tendency toward
the South. and that the producers are
realizing that the only way Ia set good
returns for their crops is to get them -
the nearest market. The Southwestern
lines have been reaping II rich harvest
ana VIII SHOW line gains in their earn
ings.
The Illinois Central is taking active
steps TO enlarge its facilities. and
among the projected improvements spO-
ken of are double tracks to New Or
leans. The project has not been ma
tured, but ii is one of the coming events
and will sill further strengthen this
system, which is among the most power
full in the country to-day. Its ahsorp-
ton of the Chesapeake and Ohio South
western railway gives II still greater
facilities and opens up new territory. as
we'll as gateway to Cincinnati and
Louisville. President Fish has secured
valuable concessions from the city Of
New Orleans, which will give the road
the best docking facilities in New Or
leans, and work has been started on a
100000 bushel elevator TO handle Ghc
grain.
The late Mart Sargent, general traffic
manager of the Kansas City, Fort Scott
