The Chicago a Alton Deal.


A Wall-street news bureau makes this
statement regarding the Chicago & Alton
Railroad deal: We are able to state that
the Alton sale has been practically con-
clu.ded. The property will &c taken by d
syndicate for the benefit of the Illinois Cen
trail Union Pacific. Missouri Pacific and
Missouri. Kansas a. Texas. How it is to be
operated TO the advantage of these inter
ests is not yet declared, but the general
statement is made that the method will be
to the interest of all 1t will certainly be
to the advantage of the Missouri Pacific
and the Kansas 81 Texas by giving them
direct line to Chicago. 1t will perhaps inn
prove the Illinois CentraI's position at St.
Louis and viii give it line to Kansas City.
The advantage to the Union Pacific is not
as clear, although the fact thai the Illinois
Central will build TO Omaha will put that
company on an equality with the Chicago
Omaha lines in the handling of transcon-
tinontal business There is little reason TO
doubt that holders of Alton can count ON
getting ls5 for the common and 200 for the
preferred
Inc new rumors that the Alton is to
charge ownership says Chicago dispatch,
are based on the fact circular signed by
President j. j. Mitchell, of the Illinois Trust
and Savings Bank. is to be issued to the
stockholders of the Alton, Offering, in the
name of an Eastern syndicate, $l75 a share
for the common and $1U0 certificate for the
preferred stock. Mr.. Mitchell seems conf
dent this offer will be accepted by over Is
per cent. of the stockholders, and said there
was no friction between himself and Pres-
dent Blackstone and that they were working
on the proposition. Who comp0SeS the syn
dictate Mr. Mitchell declined TO state. 1t is
generally believed, however, that the syndi-
cate represents capitalists interested in the
Union Pacific, the Vanderbilt lines, the
Missouri Pacific, the Baltimore d Ohio, and
one or two other roads. ire Alton, it is said,
If it changes hands will be utilized q sort
of clearing house for these roads. President
Blackstone, IL is said is more inclined to
part with control, but still insists that all
stockholders must be treated alike. 1t is
further claimed that he thinks the price
should be 500 for both the common and pre-
.ferred stock, as both receive now and
sssttteytl vs. nave received the same amount of
Wy Wy dend. A meeting of the directors will be
iieIu 1in the company's office in Chicago to-
gay . declare the regular dividend of IA
per CENT 1t is probable the proposed sale of
the fodo Waill be discussed.

OF cotton to-day: Liverpool declined 1-32

but it had little influence here. as our
market opened about unchanged. Some
further liquidation sales for so-calIed bulls
followed, and caused a slight concession
IN prices, but the demand TO cover bear
sales by the professionals sustained the
market The Chronicles report comments
on the absence of rain over the belt. and
the deterioration of the crop The new
crop receipts are being absorbed by man
utacturers, and Boston points are inclined
to buy rather freely owing to forward
contracts for goods. The decline in Eng
lish consols is regarded as serious and
this, coupled with the belief of a large
crop of cotton this season, probably ac-
counts for the large amount of hedging
sales in this market for foreign account
this week.

EFFECTS or THE DROUGHT.
Believed the Movement of Cotton
VIII Now Show 1t.

New York, Sept 16.-Hubbard Bros &
Co. say of cotton to-day: Our market re-
manned quiet and steady at a shade lower
than last evening. Selling for Wall street
and foreign account continued for the first
on an extensive scale but only moderately
for Europe. AT the close the market was
steady on an intimation that the receipts
at New Orleans would be light. We look
for the movement, especially ia the south
west, to show from now on the effects of
the drought, and look for revulsion of
feeling abroad regarding the crop.
