Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, June S0.-There is little to be
said of the dry goods market. Outside of jobbers'
bargains there are few operations in the trade.
The jobbing trade reports fair in all parts
Of sellers. 1t is believed that in most quarters
the new season will be opened under suspicious
circumstances. Staple cotton goods dull
Bleached goods have dropped back TO their nor
NAL position in the market and are selling slowly
at low. but firm prices. Outside of these there
is change. Export sheetings and drills are
still quite active results being satisfactory from
day 10 day. Print cloths still quiet, notwith-
standing the approaching curtailment OF produc-
tions. Extras are still quoted at &c and are very
strong thereat. Odd goods unchanged. Prints
and woven coiored goods show quiet and un-
changed conditions.

The March of the Dead BRIGADE,

No sound disturbs the drowsy dawn,
AS forms thu dead brigade.
It's silent ranks in serried .ines.
Glide onward toward the springing pines,
All phantoms in parade.
Their steps bend not the dropping corn,
These warriors all are ghosts.
In rank and file. with solemn tread,
Their captains marching al the head.
Move on these silent hosts.
From out the tented camp of death,
Their flag OF peace displayed
With football soft as dew at morn.
These cohorts sweep the bending corn,
Where battle once was laid.
The mark of Gods eternal peace
Their countenances bear;
And freed from all unholy hate
They shine with that exalted state
Which heavens angels share.

shippers Must Pay the Tax.

For a number of days the officials of the
various express companies, with headquar-
tiers in New York. have been discussing the
effect of the war revenue tax upon their
business. 1t is stated that the COM
panies have decided that the payment of the
tax by them would take so large a proper
ton of their net revenue that 1t would be
impossible for them to assume the burden.
Tive propositions were considered: Either
10 increase their rates TO an amount which
would make good TO them the expense of the
tax, or to add the tax directly to their ex-
listing rates Under their contract with the
railroad companies, the express people are
obliged to pay certain percentage. varying
from 40 to 80 per cent. of their gross re-
ceipts. as compensation for express facili-
ties on the various roads The adoption of
the first of these measures would therefore
have necessitated an increase in the rates
of the express companies to a sum nearly
double of the amount of tax. 1t was there
fore decided that the most feasible PROPOSE
tion was the adoption of the rule that only
the exact. amount of the tax shall be col
lected. The shipper will be required to pay
this tax. plus the express companys rates.

Rumored suIe of the Monon.

RumOred Sale of the MOnOn.
The statement was published in New, York
yesterday, as upon the authority of inter-
ests identified with the properties that the
Big Four is. TO secure. by purchase, the Chi
cago, Indianapolis e. Louisville railroad
President ingalls, and President Brice and
their several associates in the arrangements
of the properties have come TO definite
agreement The Big Four is to buy the
smaller property and is to pay for it out
right. This is the first step in the Big
-Four plans looking TO a consolidation of
properties in the central West, especially
those identified with the bituminous coal
trade. The acquisition of the Monon would
give the Big Four entrance into Chicago.
whereas heretofore it has used the Illinois
Central tracks and terminals. Furthermore
ii gives the Big Four considerable Indian
apolis and Louisville business, shutting off
much competition from those sections. A
similar statement was telegraphed from
New York three weeks ago, and at the
time met with denial. Should the Big Four
secure the Monon, 1t would, through the
Monon owning one-fifth of the Chicago q
Western Indiana, gain entrance over its
own lines into Chicago, but the terms on
which 1t operates over the Illinois Central
between Kankakee and Chicago are said to
be very reasonable. AT Indianapolis there
was no official who could throw any light
on ths subject, and the same was true at
Cincinnati. Mr.. Ingalls,. who would know all
about IT, is with his family at Hot Springs.
West Virginia Should the report prove
true the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
would lose its through line in connection
with the Monon for Chicago but could read
lily establish another line in connection with
the Indiana, Decatur & Western
which is controlled by the same
parties who own the c., H. & d.
The Woodford syndicate is too strong to be
shut out of Chicago. and if necessary the c.,
II. & ID. could form line with the Lake
Erie & Western, or the Wabash, which
would be no longer than some of the lines
now operated between Indianapolis and Chi
cago. Should the rumor prove true, the sit
uation would become one of good deal of
interest. With the Pennsylvania owning
four of the roads running in here and the
Big Four seven, Indianapolis shippers would
be at the mercy of these two powerful COR
pors ticns The Lake Erie e. Western, how
ever. working with the Cincinnati Hamil-
ton g. Dayton, would afford some COMPETE
ton.
dispatch from New York received last
night says. statements to the effect that
the Cleveland, Cincinnati Chicago & ST.
Louis Railroad Company had agreed to pur-
chase the Chicago, indianapolis & Louis
Vile were authoritatively denied. The story
1t is said, is without foundation.

CHANGES ON PANHANDLE
MR.. BONEBRAKE TRANSFERRED TO
THE INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION.
RumOr that the Big Four Has secured
Is AutheritativeIy Denied.

P. A. Ponebrake superintendent of the
Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines.
has been transf erred to the Indianapo di-
vision his headquarters to be al Columbus.
O. Through this change division superin-
tendent will be located at all important
terminals of the Pennsylvania lines. Hereto
fore no division superintendent has been To-
Gated at Columbus, but John +. Miller, gen.
eral superintendent, made his headquarters
there. These statements are official. 1t is
stated that Bushrod Taylor, engineer of
maintenance, has been appointed Superin-
tendent of the Louisville division; that NJ w.
Mansfield will be continued az superintend-
ent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, and
will be appointed superintendent of all ter
minal3 indianapolis west of the Belt
road. Mr.. Bonebrake will be superintend-
ent of terminals at Columbus Mr.. Mans
field said last evening that the statement
that Mr.. Bonebrake would be the superin-
tendent OF the Indianapolis division was
correct, but there had been no official adj
vices confirming the rumors mentioned
above. That Bushrod Taylor was to be
made division superintendent has been
known for some days, and also that Mr..
Mansfield would have additional duties
placed upon him through promotion. Mr..
Bonebrake is a man of large railroad abil
ity, and there is general regret that his
headquarters is not to be at Indianapolis.
