Efforts TO Advance the Price of Lum-
CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-An attempt was
made by number of lumber dealers on
yesterday to carry up the price of lumber
from s. to 81 per 1000, but this was resist

BILE dealers, and the attempted extortion
was defeated. Lumber is selling at old
prices. There are fully 250,OOO,OOO feet in
the yards in this city, and the supply will
continue abundant. e-a

Opening Of the BanksLMOre Deposits
than Checks.
The National and Savings banks resum-
ed business to-day. The calls from deposi-
tors were light for immediate use. Many
sought to ascertain their balances and to
what extent they could safely draw here
after. Many deposits were made. There
was no excitement or rush whatever The
drafts on the Savings banks were very light
and in many instances deposits were made.
There was considerable excitement at the
clearing house and many checks were thrown
out.
As an illustration of the confidence the
public placedin the banks, we refer to
to-day's work of the Third National Bank.
$4,000 was checked out, and 1000 de-
posted. The State Savings Bank are pre-
pared for rush, but only some forty de-
positors called for money, the aggregate of
which was greatly exceeded by the deposits.

The entire block fronting on Court

Chas. and John Quinland and others, the
great Union Depot at the foot of Lake
street is to be at once rebuilt and on a
greatly enlarged scale.
The number of passes issued to-day for
persons leaving the city was one thousand.
The action of the post authorities in
locating the postoffice on the south side,
where there are less than one-third the
population of the city and is no gas, has
created great surprise and good deal of
Indignation. Less regard seeming to have
been had for the accommodation of the
majority of the citizens than should have
