Since more trains have been put ON
tins road up Sandy we can hear nearly
all through the day, the rumbling cars

This shows increase of business We
read in history that where the whistle
of the locomotive is heard ignorance
and superstition is driven therefrom.
According to that this river and sur.
rounding region is making rapid strides
toward education and progress of sci
ence and art. Already the world is be-
ing startled at our efforts almost in
evory vocation And our commerce in
minerals, lumber and other substance
will soon bid defiance to the world

nation for Congress in the Third
Iowa district. In his letter OF dec
llnation Gen. Henderson says that
there is a growing sentiment
among Republicans that he does
not truly represent their views on
the tariff question, and he adds
that he knows he does not agree
with many of his people that
trusts can be cured by free trade.
The tariff plank in the Iowa State
platform which says il wants "no

garded as the originating cause Of
Gen. Henderson's withdrawal.

H.. s. B. Beer. Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, July S.-Liyerpool ad-
vices are encouraging consequently our
market opened about two higher, sub
scquently improved l to additional on
fears that the weekly weather report
might be more unfavoTable than ex-
pected. Upon the issuance of this doc
ument, however, it was construed on
the whole as being favorable, and
caused a break of to 10 from the top,
making the net loss to points on the
day. The summary of the weekly re-
port was as follows:
with showers over local area only
and very high temperatures the crop
over much the greater portion of the
central and eastern districts of the
cotton belt has materially deteriorated,
especially over the southern portion of
the districts named, although consid-
ering the size of the plant it is fruit
ing well and is generally clean. In
Tennessee, extreme northern Missis-
sippi, Arkansas. Missouri, Oklahoma,
and Indian Territory, the crop contin-
ues in promising condition, although
it is needing cultivation and making
too much weed in portions of Arkan-
sas. In Texas cotton shows further
improvement and is making good,
healthy growth except in the south
western ana northwestern counties,
where it is at a standstill While the
plant is small it is spreading nicely
and fruiting satisfactorily. but few re-
ports of shedding and boil weevil are
received"
In the itemized weather report to-
day. the director for Texas says that
during the preceding week 81 per cent
of the area in cotton in that state re-
ceived rainfall in excess of two inches,
% per cent, 1 to 2 inches and 13 per
cent. less than l inch and as there
has been more than usual cloudiness
during the week cotton shows further
Improvement. We quoted last week
Texas report some days ago, and now
give this weeks, both of which are
contradictory of the remarks quoted
by monthly bureau in which it was
claimed that the rains in Texas did lit
tie or no good. From the above it will
be seen that the states west of the
Mississippi are in good condition, but
rains are needed over the greater por-
ton of the central and eastern dis

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, July Speculation in
cotton this morning was on a small
scale steadiness at Liverpool helped
sustain local prices, and in some in
stances advanced them a couple of
points, but on a hold off policy was
being observed until is known as to
the crop regarding which people as
rule are quite at sea with a growing
tendency to adopt quite conservative.
Now as to the matter of brilliancY or
even what may be called very bounti-
full yield The scalping elements are
having things their own way until the
exact status of the crop is thoroughly
understood, and It will require some
time for this; meanwhile. people are
proceeding with unusual caution and
the changes in sentiment favor the bull
side In fact, it is seldom that we
have reached this date when so few
predictions of a brilliant or bumper
crop are INDUCED. The most that is
now looked for is a good sized crop, and
