Go Into Effect on january l--Dela-
ware Division Affected
II seems TO be the general belief OF
railroad men that Wilmington will be
the terminus of the New York division
of the Pennsylvania rai.rcad. and the
beginning Of the Washington division.
Two Of the strongest arguments made
In favor of this city as a terminous is
the fact that Wilmington is almost cen
trally located between Washington and
New York. and the fact that the large
roundhouse being built at Todds Cut.
At present the terminus is at Phila-
delphia, but the company Is badly
handicapped for room. and II is gem
orally understood the terminus will b5
moved.
With offices of the superintendent re-
moved to this city, the erection of
the immense car shops and other build
ings at Todd's Cut, and the building Of
large elevated station. Wilmington
promises to become the principal rail-
way centre OF the United States. In
view of these things, it Is considered
lDttulldI lldl llt NdlliH VI NAihAhbN'A
should have been eliminated from the
name Of the company, and the matte.
still wrangles in the breasts Of Will
mingtOnians.
The proposed change Will cause
many railroad men to move to this city
VINO at present reside in Philadelphia,
and win necessitate the employing OF
lmany more men at the roundhouse and
in the yards.

Unprecedentedly Heavy Receipts
of Grass Fed Animals in All
Markets.
RETAIL BUSINESS IMPROVES
G GOD Corn Crop in West Leads to Heavy
orders There for Fall and Winter
Goods Cereals and Agricultural
Products Slightly Weaker
Plenty of Money.

New York Sept. 1o.-Bradstrcct's to-mor
row will say of the state of trade:
Johbng distribution continues very &C
tive and retail business is improving. Now
that the corn crop is practically made, and
the only possible changes are those of
quality, the disposition to book fall and
winter orders is unrcstrained at the West
and Northwest. At the South the tone of
trade reports is notably cheerful largely
owing to higher cotton prices, because
crop accounts are not so favorable as "A
week ago. Collections are as "A Who'll"
good, aud the consensus of reports as to
this and a to money conditions point to
good supplies of tho circulating medium In
the country at large Whatever strincency
Il noted a condition usual At this time, Is
limited largely to the employmen of
money in speculation. The claim is made
that there is plenty Of money in the into
rior. and. indeed at all ccntcrs for ordi-
nary trade purposes.
The selling position seems to he the
strongest side of the price situation except
possibly in the cereals and agricultural
products generally. Even here the line
financial position Of farmers enables them
to market their products slowly. and no
accumulation of moment is recorded eX-
/ copt in cattle receipts. A large distribu-
/ tion of cotton goods is going on at the
4 West, and the tirmness I'm the Eastern
| trade is notable in view of the relativclv
quotor tone Of demand. Wooden goods are
firm and the mills are actively employed.
Cattle receipts, mostly grass fed animals
arc unprecedented heavy at all markets
and prices are weaker. Hides have eascd
in price partly because of this and also
because of tanners suspendinE work OWING
