1t is quite likely that the trolley
line will be extended to Catawissa
some time in the near future, and
also that line to Light Street will
be built but the possibility of Dan
vile being connected is very re-
mote. The sparse population be-
tween Bloomsbury and Danvile
will not warrant the erection of a
line, and there would not be enough
through traffic to make it pay. This
is also the case between here and
Millville. "A ten mile run would
necessitate the building Of sub
power stations, and the other Incl
dent expenses would be too great
for the returns in sight. At least
this is the contention of one of the
men at present in the employ of the
Columbia & Montour Company.
He believes, however that the time
will come when the chain of road
will be perfected and the various
outlying towns will be connected,
but not until more favorable con-
ditionS present themselves.

Total exports since January have ag- gregated only 10000 tons as against 69, 100 tons during the same period of la.t year. Exports during the month of May, 1901, however, amounted to nearly Il ,OOO tons, by far the heaviest sales of any month of the present year. During the first week of June about 5000 tons were shipped. It is evident that stocks in foreign hands have been greatly depleted during the past six months by reason of their decision to remain out of the market until prices suffer break. In conservative quar- ters the prediction is made that heavy purchases must inevitably be made within the next two months. Ship ments at present are heaviest to Havre, Liverpool ana Rotterdam.

estcd.
 Arizona is in way to have another railroad. Adyices from the east give information that syndicate has un- dertaken to build road from Benson northwest through Florence to Phoe- nix and down the Salt River valley to connect again with the Southern Pa cific at some point not determined upon east of Yuma. Declaration of intention has been made under the railroad exemption act. Among the gentlemen engaged in this enterprise are Mir. w. J. Tiffany of New York, and Baron de Fontmilliar of Paris, the representative of extensive French capital employed in mining business in Arizona and Sonora.
 The route has not been definitely determined upon, only i5 is under stood that Florence and Phoenix shall be points upon 1t and that the line shall pass through the Buckeye country. Mesa and Tempe will either be included or else spurs will be built to them. This is not an entirely new railroad project, side line from the Southern Pacific running through the Salt River valley and the rich mining regions of Pinal, but never before has the eastern terminus of the line been placed as far east as Benson. It is said that S200, 900 of the stock of the new company, to be called the Ari- zona Central, has been subscribed and paid for. The course of the road from Benson is evidently to be down the San Pedro and through the new and rapidly developing mining regions lying northwest. Mir. Tiffany and Baron de Eontmilliar are now at Tue son.-Republican.
