oothran Q co.,s cotton Lsttsr.

Cothran 2 CO.'S Sottoh Istkef, By C. N. Lee & Go.
 New York, March 16.-Things appeared very tame-on the surface, at any rate and prices ranged within the limits of few points all day. The feature proved 10 be the selling of May and the buying of July. We think this could only be done by the bull clique. At one time May was % points over July but most of the time ruled only F points over, and at times only 16 report was in eircula- ton that Philadelphia people were selling out a lot of May and replacing with July. This, of course, helped lessen the differ ence.
 In Liverpool the Egyptian crowd were supporting the market. but some thought they were getting rid of cotton here. Egypt depends on the flood. It will not be easy to force May over l0c with an improvement in the weather. It may be that we are still to have very high prices for July cotton in the summer. But this is a long way off. That will be on another bull market-hardly on this one. With any kind of weather in the south so that planting can go on we will see a setback from ga4 or 10c. AfterAthe market has had a cleaning up under such conditions and it is found that there is not enough cot ton to go around. why, the prospects may be different At this moment, however the policy of selling on every advance in August seems to be the light policy As the situation is a strong one. We would avoid selling on declines. Anything above 9hc for August cotton would seem to be high at this season. We would risk the short side of August on bulges.

r. R. DIVISION.
Mexico Seems Likely to Get
a Thing or Two.

The st. Louis Republic last
Monday contained the following
dispatch from Bloomington, H.;
The local officials of the Chicago
& Alton have been advised that
the work upon the new line of the
Chicago, Burlington s. Quincy be-
tween Mexico, Mo, and Old Mon
roe has been graded almost the en-
tire-length of IS miles and that
track laying will commence short
~.
New and improved track laying
machines have been secured, which
will enable two miles of track to
be laid daily. 1t is planned to
to have the new line in operation
by Jan. l.
A joint track arrangement has
been perfected between the Alton
and Burlington which will give
both a short line between st. Louis
and Kansas City. The tracks of
the Alton will be used by both
roads between Mexico and Kansas
City while the new tracks of the
Burlington will be used betweeu
Mexico and Old Monroe thence to
st. Louis over the present line of
the Burlington.
The Atoms line will be so miles
shorter between the two great ter
minals and there will be am enor-
nous saving in Mississippi River
bridge charges.
Mexico will be terminal for
both roads and all crews will be
changed there. The Alton
crews and engines will haul the
Burlington trains over the for
mer's tracks, while the Burlington
engines and crews will haul the
Atoms trains over the Burlington
tracks.
This will prevent confusion in
rules which might result if the
crews were run thru between St
Louis and Kansas City.
1t is supposed that the adoption
of Mexico as divisional point by
the Alton will seriously effect Stat
err, which is the present division
headquarters.
Mexico Missouri message., 1903-10-08
ATOMS NEW EQUIPMENTS.

A late dispatch to Il st. Louis
paper says;
The Alton road has just received
from the Baldwin locomotive
works two new express passenger
engines. They are the largest and
most powerful ever built. There
is noting in the world to-day to
equal them. They have been
built expressly for the heavy bust
ness of the Worlds Fair
The duty of these engines will
be to haul trains made up of II
passenger cars and weighing about
600 tons, exclusive of passengers
and baggage. Such a train will ac-
commodate 700 persons, whose ag-
gregate weightwOuld not be less
than 81 tons, and estimating their
baggage at Is tons, the total
weight of the train behind the en-
CINE will be 675 tons. Such a
train will have to be hauled 110%
miles in two and one-half hours,
making two stops and three slow
downs for railroad crossings.
This will reduce the actual run
ming speed to two hours and TWEEN
ty-four minutes and neeessitate an
average running speed of 56 miles
an hour.
A remarkable feature which in
itself is illustrative of the great
size of these engines is the smoke
box, which isn less than eight
feet five inches in length, The
tractive effort is $1,000 pounds
that is, if the tender draw-bar
were attached to a dynamometer il
would register over Is tons.
