Chicago Tribune; Failures have
been Increasing Of late, and tie average
amount Of liat ilities appears to be
slightly in excess Of what ii has been.
For the week ending October 9Th, theye
were, as complied by Bradsircers, TWEEN
ty more failures than For The CORES
ponding week Of last year. and the
failures for the week just passed have
been still more numerous.
The money market IS distinctly hard
ening, both here and in The east In
Wall street she rate for loaps was as
high as last week as Is per cent. In
Chicago the demand for loans is unusu-
ally strong, although ths local accumu-
lation Of grain and proyisicns TO be car
ried by the baDgs is very sma Mer-
chants are borrowing b cause their
county customers do not ray, and the
country banks are LOTION ug for the
same reasons. Farmers are not selling
their grain, and when farmers are not
selling they do not buy freely of the
courtty merchants, and do not pay as
promptly as when they ARE tuning
their crops into cash.
But better rates To- money are moi
necessarily a sign Of hlsncial disease.
There is nothing TO indicate nat there
has been auy strs lining of credit Mer-
chants have been disappointed ia til,
fall trade, partly on account of the
weather, and partly because Of the SLOW
marketing Of p-odrce by the interor
but they have been overtrading. Among
the farmers the evidence is conclusive
that the liquidation of Indebtedness il
still going on. The IA mes owe les
than two yea ago, eitho0gn now some
OF them are borrowing TO carry thei
wheat and corn. Railroad earnings ant
bank clearings make q good showing
and it is evident that the country is still
IN a sound condition.
None OF the failures that have hap
poned lately have been important ones
An Increase IN number of ipsolven
cies is always 10 be expected toward tn
end of the year, aud the higher iates 70
loans viii add TO the number. Eut tier
has been very wholesome decline il
quotations ON the stock exchange, ans
the prices of merchandise generally ar
now below the figures prevailing at thi
time last year. In view of the conserv
alive character OF these facts, the recen
failures sre to be regarded merely as Il
cal disturbances, and not "a storm siG
nails P-esaging the advent OF cyclon
ia the world OF credit.

The Atcnison Champion says the state
meEt that the A, T. 81 $. +. railroad
company had issued orders to the men
in its shops that they must vote for st.
John was a falsehood. No order of the
kind was issued The facts simply are
that three or four clerks had made them
selves conspicuous BY denouncing the
governor, iulthe shops, and by devoting a
great deal of their time to e.e pioneering
against him. Mr.. Wheeler, the mana
ger, sent word to those loud talking per
sons that he expected them to attend to
their business hereafter; that they had O
right to vote as they pleased, but he dc
MED their right TO spend their time cleo
pioneering with the men. We supposed
when we read the foolish report in the
Kansas City Times il was false. If the
railroad company wanted To control
their employees they would hardly so at
it by threatening them with discharge
if they did not vote as the company de
sired. That's not the railroads way of
doing things. They are entirely too
sharp for that.

More NICKEL plata pra,,,.

CLEVELAND, Nov 6.-Judge Stephen
son Burke and General j. II. Devereaux,
have returned from New York where
they made the second payment on the
Nickel Plate stock and purchased fifteen
thousand shares in addition TO the large
block already "taken in" Judge
Burke said to q Western Associated
Press reporter that temporary arrange
ments for the terminal facilities at Chi
cago and Buffalo viii be made today,
and that he and General Devereaux will
go into the board of directors WITHIN a
few days. Vacancies are to be made for
them. He said that last week the gen.
eral Off .ers of the road rendered their
resignat' ons, but were requested 10
remain for the present. He thinks few
if any charges Will be made in
the officers and employees. Being ask
ed if Vanderbilt is behind or interested
in the pCechssing syndicate replied that
he dislIked to appear mysterious about
the matte, but business reasons made
il necessary not TO answer that question
now as other important changes are
about to be made. You may say, he
further remarked, that the Nickle Plate
will be operated IN close harmony with
tue G., c., @. 81 l., and Hooking Valley.
as the syndicate the same as that OF thu
reporter. Judge Burke replied that the
list Is not fully made up yet, but the in
ference may be drawn that some of the
names of the parties are in both. As he
took 35 per cent. of the Hooking
Valley interest himself, he expects the
Nickle Plate will be in the pool and
get its share Of the business, the policy
being 20 maintain rates. The eastern
relations will be close with the Lehigh
Valley and Delaware, Lackewana &
Western, but Judge Burke expects also
TO co operate with the E-ie, New York
Central and West Shore s. Buffalo
He illustrated the attitude of the Niekle
Plate DIS the Lake Shore by saying
it would be ike two men going into
any business side by side, each seeking
to make what he can in business
like way. The whole tenor of his
conversation implied that the Nickle
Plate will be operated independently
OF Lake Shore interest. Being inquired
of as TO future payments on the stock
purchased he answered that 81 ,000, 600
will be paid the first of every month
hereafter until ali is paid for. The last
payment viii not be made prior To the
annual meeting of the -oad, January
18th He was asked if the syndicate
viii be allowed 90 vote. He stated ii
is part of the contract with the purchase
that the syndicate shall vote their stock
at the next meeting and assume control.
Judge Burke incidentally said he had
private information he believes TO be
correct that Gould win buy the West
Shore d Buffalo, negotiations for the
ptlaehase being IN progress.
