THE NICARAGUA ROUTE AND ITS FoRTlFl.
CATION.

The Post has already taken the position that, aside
from other weghty considerations which he urged
in favor of the Nicaragua route over the Panama
route for the stbmian canal the determining reason
which should guide congress- TO prefer the former
route is that It ia shorter From New York to San
Francisco via the Nicaragua route is as miles shorter
than by the Panama route from New Orleans to San
Francisco is $50 miles shorter; from Galveston about
the same distance.
Another consideration of great weight in favor of
the Nicaragua route is that according to tho estimates

A CURIOSITY OF TRADE.

Cotton ties" says the Atlanta Constitution, have
been reduced some % cents a bundle" and ii adds:
The regularity of this slump after the cotton is off
the farmers hands is of the curiosities of trade
The fact is, says the Charleston News and Courier
in commenting upon the observation of the Atlanta
contemporary, that the reduction, announced by
The National Hoop company, is 40 cents bundle not
20 cents or from s125 to so cents bundle The rest
of the observation is correct The regularity of the
slump is OF the curiosities of trade az it Is made
always about this season. after the out of the
farmers hands and when the slump save him no
money, as he has baled his crop and disposed of it,
It is ordered for the season before the crop OF
the season is planted and the higher price is re-
stored in the way, before the crop is gathered
usually in midsummer in time to catch the mer
chants and other middemen who supply the farmers.
The proceeding is, of course, something moro than
curiosity" of trade to the cotton farmers 1t is
costly trick of trade to them To hoop average crop
Of 100000 bales requires about 100000 bundles Of
ties At 80 cents bundle, the 100000 bundles would

or. say, the net profit, at $40 bale $4,000 baes
the net profit, at IS bale $4,000 hales and so
on for varied estimates as to the profit
The point of it all is as have said before, that
this important difference of 100000 against the cot
ton grower goes into the pocket of the steel trust
which makes its cotton crop $4,000 bales or its net
profit on crop Of $4,000 to 100000 bales, by simply
