Toledo Cincinnati & St. Lonls.— A press dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 26, said: "In the foreclosure suit against
the Toledo Cincianali & St. Ljuis Railroad Com-jany, on argument before the United States Court, at.torney,s were granted
ten days to consult with their clients before any order will be
entered. Joint action on the part of the court was made necessary by the fact that the road extends through the districts of
Judges Drummond and Baxter, and the rolling stock is under
the jurisdiction of each. Among the claims is one of $2,000,009
for rolling stock. The holdeis of the equipment bonds have
no other secarity than the liens upon the equipment of the
road, and as the receiver was appointed and took possession of
the same, and has since made no payment for the use of it. the
bondholders are anxious to have some adjudication defining
their rights."

"In any event, you leased a railroad which had not, and has
not now, either terminal, or other facilities, at its largest terminus.
"There is a system of roads south of Chattanooga, having a
total mileage of 811 miles, and worth $35,000,000, occupying a
splendid strategical position, which is worked in complete harmony with the Cincinnati Southern. This makes a total mileage of 1,147 miles without anything like proper provision for its
businesis at Cincinnati.
"The intended future action of the leasing company is deserving of the most serious attention. Your obligations have been
more than met on every hand, and the spirit ,is well as the
letter of the lease has been fully complied with.
On the
otl er hand yon have had charges imposed upon you which
you shoujd not have had to bear, and the trustees have given
you nothing of the needed facilities which are necessary, not
only for the road, but which you must have to enable you to
bear the heavy burden you have assumed.
"It will readily occur to you that the expenditure which will
not be available for the benefit of the leasing company at the
expiration of the lease should be provided for. It lias been now
arranged to ascertain such sum each year and to charge transportation year by year with the proper proportion of the sum
total needed to exhaust the capital so disbursed.

This company operates as lessee the Cincinnati Southern
road, from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, Tenn, 335-8 miles, which
is owned by the city of Cincinnati, and forms a part of the
ereat through line, known as the " Queen and Crescent"' route,
between Cincinnati and New Orleans. The annual repoBt of Mr.
John Scott, President, has the following in regard to the small
increase of only about 1 per cent in the gross earcings of 1883:
" The causes for this small increase are several. The floods of
February, 1883, caused a decrease in receipts of $32,085 36,
which was not recovered. The wheat crop showed a large falling oflf as compared with 1882. The cotton crop alon^ the
lines of other roads is short, so far as present returns indicate,

"The company has in its treasury over $400,000 of interestlaying securities, chiefly Denver & lUo Grande consols. The

" The only perceptible cloud on the horizon is the recent
attempt, on the part of the new admioLstration of the Denver
& Rio Grande Railway, to violate the long-standing contracts
and time-h'onored policy under which both companies have
grown up from their birth. Long ago, when the Denver & Rio
Grande wds embarras.sed, it received at diflferent times financial aid from the companies whose consolidation has formed
this company, which mortgaged their properties for the purpo.'!e, and accepted, as part of the consideration, long-time contracts, solemnly executed and since repeatedly ratified by the
railway stockholders, whereby, among other things, the latter
promised to give us as good rates over its lines as should ever
during their life-time be given .any other shipper which contracts were wise in their inception, proved to be of mutual
adrantage, and enabled both companies to develop their
resources, and have been deemed inviolable in the past. This
company, conforming to them, ha-s given all its freight to that
company and ignored competing carriers, until it Became the
largest customer of the railway, furnishing it over 30 per cent
of Its entire freight earnings.
But on Jan. 7 last, in the midst
of our increasing trade, an order was issued by the officers of
the railway company, the effe&t of which was to give largely
preferential rates to other shippers and, temporarily, at least,
destroy all our newly-establishea trade in Utah, Nevada and
California
When we learned of the solicitation of
yiiur proxies for a revolutionary board, we had no alternative,
as your representatives, but to lay the facts before you.
The
issue is thus clearly made. Your board did not raise it or seek
the contMversy ; it. is thrust upon them
We sought and seek
in this buiinesH only what is due to your company, to wit, 'rates
never to exceed the best ra'es per mile given to any other company, association, or individual.' " • * * " Even if no contracte existed between the companies, their respective interests
are siicb that, under present conditions, their management

Proxies are solicited for the re-election of the present boaid.

tlie railway and other property from the custody of the courts and put

coumiittee of tlulrability to place the bonds with very little delay, and
provision was made for an early application to the cnurt for the proper
order to restore the railway to the couiuany iviid for the settlement of
the Receiver's accountji. It is believed this valuable property will soon

The speculation in futures has been only moder.xtely active
and prices, without fluctuating widely, havo been variable and
Receipts at the ports were larger on Saturday and
unsettled.
Monday, but have latterly again become small. Bu.iincss in
some of the Southern markets has been partially interrupted
by Mardi-Gras festivities, and the Liverpool market has been
dull and unsettled. Prices on our Cotton Exchange were
without much change, but made considerable advance on
Monday and a further improvement on Tuesd.ty, ba^
Thursday.
The
declined slightly on Wednesday and
advance of Monday and Tuesday was taken advantage of
by many distrustful holders to "unload." To-day the opening
Wits dull and unsettled, with some depression at mid-day, but
there was a rally at the close, which was slightly dearer than
yesterday, and as compared with last Thursday 5@9 points
dearer for this crop and 7@8 points dearer for the next.
Cotton on the spot has been quiet, but holders have shown
strength, and quotations were advanced l-16c. on Tuesday and
again on Wednesday. To-day there was no change and the
close was quiet at lOJ^c. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 397,500

KaoKipra from thb PLASTATioas. The following tabiH le
prepared for the porpoae of indication the actual movement eaob
week from the plantations. ReoeipU at the oatporta are sometimes mixleading, aa they are made ap more largely one yeai
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach
therefore, a safer conclusion throngh a comparative statemeuf
Uke the following. In reply to frequent inqniries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts 01
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the ont-ports.

The movement
Feidat. p. M., Feb. 29, 1884
Piour has been in rather better demand and prices have ad-
The
dne more, however, to the comparative
scarcity of flour than to any other iuflaence.
There is no activity in any description.
Buyers prefer winter wheat flour,
and of this there is only a moderate supply. The stock of
flpring wheat grades, moreover, if being steadily reduced, and
it is DOW by no means excessive.
To-day there was a moderate
rise
is
trade at steady prices.
Wheat has been very quiet for export, and still only moderately active on speculation. Options have therefore declined,
despite the eflforts of the bulls here acd at the West to sustain
prices.
Both here and at Chicago the trading has been largely
among brokers. The dulness of the export trade is a heavy
weight on the market, and tends to discourage speculation,
while the unusually large supply in this country likewise exerts
a more or less depressing influence. The supply in Chicago on
the 23d inst., for example, was 13,102,000 bushels, against only
5,999,000 bushels on the same date last year and 3,774,000 bashels in 1882. At other important centres of the grain trade the
atock is relatively qui'e as liberal, and it is well known that
abundantly supplied. The course of the market
latterly has not been steadily downward, however, as the covering of shorts has enabled the bulls to occasionally advance
prices a fraction; and in Chicago it is asserted that the market
has been over-sold. The weather has been in the main favorable. To-day there was a moderate business at a slight advance.
