May be the Iowa Central.

The breaking of the compact be-
tween the Santa Fe and the Iowa
Central in shipping live stock from
Monmouth to Chicago may have some
thing TO do with the incorporation of
the Chicago. Joliet q Iowa railway
the papers of which were filed here
the other day. \ gentleman who is
close to the subject of railway con
struction said that he knew one of
the incorporates and thought it most
likely that the road would be con-
structed. Whether il had anything to
Go with the Iowa Central in getting n
direct lire into Chicago could not be
stated authOritatively. yet il appeared
that the wind might be blowing in
that direction. That the Iowa Cen
trail. with its terminals and connec-
tions now in force, is handicapped for
trunk line business, especially via
Chicago. is well known and has had
many things to do with retarding the
profits of the company.
With a connection on the route
roughly outlined in the petition for
incorporation. the Iowa Central would
be able to carry business to Iowa
from Chicago and the lake region
with considerably less mileage. than
the road has been able to do with the
arrangements it has had with other
roads in the past.

WALL STREET. REVIEW
THE MIXED STRENGTH AND
 WEAKNESS CONTINUE.
At the Same Time, the Speculative Forces Which are Behind the Present Rise Buy More stock
 Than They Sell.

New York. Sept 8.-The mixed strength and weakness of the market continued today, but the strength again predominated and the speculative forces which are behind the present rise seemed to be acumulating more stocks than they were distributing as against the dominant tendency to take profits which affected yesterdays mar ket But the mixed process was still going on. That Is to say. sales were made in one quarter under the sus- taining influence of the buying in new quarters. The favorites for the ad- vance were picked from the railroad list again after yesterdays preference for the industrials especially the steel stocks. The news of the day was not unfavorable to values. but it was of a general character and did not &C., count for the dlsproportionate strength of special stocks. The early market saw continuance of yesterdays strength in the steel stocks. United States Steel preferred was lifted a full point to the highest point on the present movement. good effect was produced by the August figures of out put and consumption of iron. show ing an expansion of 56.000 tons in the weekly capacity of the furnaces and q reduction of 150.000 tons in the stocks at the furnaces. The resumption of full time in the Pennsylvania shops were regarded as an indication of inn proVement In the trunk line field and the increase in gross earnings for Au- gust of New York Central. seemed to be reverted to in estimating the condi- tions of eastern railroads. The west ern railroads on the other hand were inclined to hang back. Crop uncer- tainties may have been an influence upon them. But q more evident factor was the doubt aroused by the large selling of the Facif1cs yesterday and the suspicion that 1t represented inside liquidation. A rather general discus sion of the likelihood of electrical equipment for steam railroads was the ostensible ground for sharp advances in the electrics. The time money mar ket was inclined to harden nominally. Interior demands for funds are grow ing and $l.500.000 will be transferred tomorrow through the sub-treasury to San Francisco. supposedly for use in connection with railroad expenditures in the West. European centers were reported to be somewhat disturbed by intimations of possible large with drawals of Russian deposits with west ern European banks. but sterling ex- change was easy in this market. The market closed irregular. Bonds were firm. Total sales par value s5.575000 United States 2s registered declined Is per cent on call.

 NEW YORK. Sept s.--The continued &C., tive demand for spot cotton and a further advance of 20 points in quotations backed up by Il rise of F points in September cer- tafnly lend color to the rumors current that the shorts in September in Liverpool are in an uncomfortable position.

There was another spurt in Sep tember in this market today which carried the price up to 10. s6. later positions mean while gained about points.

 Points Net Lower.

New York. Sept. 7-The cotton mar ket opened firm at an advance of IS points on September and to Il points on later positions and showed a pretty firm tone during the morning. with prices at one time & to IS points net higher. the advance being led by the September option which was affected by talk of a corner. The opening gains were influenced by frmness of the Liv- erpool cables which reported an ad vance of 20 points on spot cotton, of 1S points on September and of : points on other options at the hour of the local opening Private cables received just before the local opening ascribed the gains abroad to the scarcity of sup plies and indications for a September corner. Prices in the afternoon broke sharply, closing at the bottom, a net decline of Is points on September and of to 10 points on later months. One explanation perhaps of the strength in Liverpool was the rumor that certain Texas shippers had defaulted on their contracts for the first half of Septem- Der shipment to the English market which would account for the firmness of the newer positions In that center. and afterwards a local firm received cable from Liverpool confirming this reporL The weather was considered Favorable. but private crop advices from Texas and Mississippi continued very poor on the average and sentiment as 70 the present progress of the crop seemed divided.
