The destruction of the splendid terminal of the
Illinois Central in New-Oreans was a serious
mishap for that company which shipped Inn
mense quantities of cotton and grain. Recently
in New-Yorl an important meeting of railroad
men and Of exporters of such merchandise to
Europe held. 1t was acknowledged that
the movement southwark from the Northwest
had reached formidable proportions. The con-
sultations and the speeches were frank and seri-
Gus, and the general opinion of the influential
shippers present was plainly to the effect that
an emergency existed. No one doubts that a
considerable period must pass before the Illi-
nois Central can regain its former ascendency
in shipments from the West to the countries of
the Old World. But 1t is an exceedingly enter
prstng. ambitious and skilfully managed sys-
tenn, and it Will pusy itself ably and energeti-
cally in restoring its former advantages at the
earliest possible date
