From tue Demiaa Headlight.
This preilmlnaries of the railroad
from Dsming south into the republic
Of Mexico are rapidly taking shape.
Last Sunday there arrived from Chi
cigo, MIR, Il. II. Todd. Of tho we'll
known engineering firm OF Todd 4
Sturdevant, OF Chicago, sent here for
The purpose Of confirming the esti.
mates heretofore made for the work OF
the construction OF the railroad. and
also that he might make an exhaust
we report az the details OF the enter
PRISE. Mr.. Todd, accompanied Ly
Vol. p, II Smith, went south on Wed
nesday. Col. Smith viii return to
Deming within a lew days, while Mr..
Todd will engage a party OF assistants
anu remain along the proposed line
for tho three or Tour weeks. Most Of
his time will be spent between this
point and the pass in the Boca Grande
country, which portion OF the road will
be built without subsidy.
In addition to an investigation into
the possibilities OF railroad construc-
ton, MIR. Todd will also complete es-
Inmates OF the costs Of irrigating Las
Palomas land from the lakes In that
Vicinity, aud also OF the construction of
a dam across the Boca Grande and
lateral bitches TO the lands which 1t is
desired to supply with water.
With the eastern capitalists who are
interested in the construction Of the
railroad are also those who have in
view the reclamation of over $500, 900
acres of valuable lands 10 the Las
Palomas and Boco Grande districts,
and one enterprise Is more or less de-
pendent upon the other. These lands
are exceptionally valuable for grazing
and agricultural purposes. with an
abundance of water available. All
that is necessary Is its proper distribu-
ton over the lands. II Is proposed to
irrigate and then colonize all this dis
trict, and of course, the Mexican
government Is offering every encourage
ment.
Mr.. Todd is an engineer OF years OF
experience, in whom capital has every
confidence. He will remain until he
has thoroughly satisfied himself OF the
results to be Obtained, and the cost to
be incurred and it will be very sur
prising if railroad construction is not
begun very shortly.

Cotton Letter.

New York Oct 27.-Cables came a lit- tie irregular today, but traders started the local market firm, owing to reports of frost in the cotton belt, however, these reports wsre not confirmed and the market later was barely sustained. Foreigners did not do much and the south was awaiting more definite news relative to the port movement. News was scarce and what there was seemed to be equally divided. Later cables came weaker and the market turned heavy and dull with the tone easier. The port receipts were estimated at 45,00o against 44.oO0 last year. Towards the latter part of the session the market looked quite strong, January sold as low as 5.96 and closed at 6c The port receipts are falling off some now and if we can only get light receipts for the next few days we will have a good market.

New York Cotton Market.

New York. Oct. 27--Early cables were decidedly better than exp cted, and as the movement gave indications of drcp- ping off, our market opened firm at an advance of SOS points. Later cables were decidedly disappointing, and a re- action of 3@5 points followed. It was noaiosd that conmbssaem houses nrain- tahned steady buying relations through the ups and downs of the market and there was a sharp demand to cover, which caused rally of 4Q5 points,. This upward movement was accelerated by reports of yellow fever at New Orleans and elsewhere. In the afternoon the markea was firmar and active on covering by local shorts, who were driven by offi- eial predictions of frcst for the south- wi.st tomorrow morning.

Sugar advanced E per cent. and held firm; the grangers were well sus- tained fraotionally above last night 5 close. As the session progressed ';bull' adv.ces increased in number and serious ness and the mornings advantages were mostly maintained. London quotations were considered steady although New fork Central was down B psr cent.
