Textile manufacturers are not en
couraged by demands for goods, which
siiarcely increase, though more print
clothlere sold than fo#many weeks,
but some mode of clearing ILway the

per cent from September 11, print

Trade is beginning to realize that
enormAous exports of corn are taking

Effort toI Meet Southern Compelitlon.
The lines between Chicago and New
York sre not favorably impressed) by
the action .5 the beard of managers of
the joint trafic association in reducing
the corn rate between the two cities to
15 cents. They snay that the action
will have the result of cutting into
their revenue, without in any material
degree increasing their business. The
competition from tho 8outh and South
west has hurt the grain trade of the
roads east of Chicago very badly and
they have for a long time been asking
the board of managers of the joint
traffie assoeiation teo the rate where
it would insure them a larger portion
of the baeusiness than they have been
receiv.g. They favored a 10 cent
rate.
