Mr.. W. c. Van Horne, general manager
of the Canadian Pacific, and William Harder
traffic manager of the same road were in st.
Paul yesterday, Mr.. Van Horne was on his
way from Montreal to Winnipeg and left
last night. He said that it was expected that
the road would be completed from Montreal
to the Pacific Coast by the end Of next year.
At the present time 10000 men
are at work on the line around
the north shore of Lake Superior, and that
the work on this section had been going on
all winter. Work has been resumed on the
western extension aud that the same is com
pleted to the summit of the Rocky mountains,
962 miles west from Winnipeg, or l. 400 miles
west from Lake Superior. Only 290 miles
now remain to be completed between the
summit of the Racky mountains and the Pa
cifc coast. Owing to the reduction of
rates over the Canadian Pacific to
1915 from Montreal to Winnipeg he expects
to take large part of the foreign emigra-
ton, and he does not think the roads in the
United States can put the fare down to this
figure. He also denies that the emigrants
that go out to Manitoba leave that country
and come over to the United States.

Northern Paeiao Freiahts.

Yesterday afternoon delegation of gen.
tlemen from st. Paul and Minneapolis, wait
ed upon Mr.. Oakes, vice president of the
Northern Pacific road, for the purpose of
comforting with him as to the alleged dis
elimination of that road against these two
cities in the matter of freight. The commit
tee from the Minneapolis board of trade con-
sisted of Capt. Whitney, j. T. Wyman, Capt.
Gilman and J. Newton Mind. The gentlemen
from st. Paul were P. H. Kelly, A. H.
Lindeke, Mr.. Hacket of the frn of Strong,
Hacket 81 Co., and F. B. Farwel. The in
terview was very brief one, lasting not
over half an hour, at the end of which the
visitors went away satisfied that there was no
substantial foundation for the harsh criti-
cisms made in regard to the road. Mr.. j.
NJ. Hannaford was present with
the tariffs of the road, which
he explained. Mr.. Oakes stated that
whatever appearances of difficulty there
might be, would be settled more easily and
speedily by the business men than in any
other way, and that the freights would settle
down and regulate themselves in natural
way as the business of the road became more
settled and better defined.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Speculation has
been so dull in many stocks of late that the
attention of operators has been called to some
of the second-class mortgage bonds, notably
the Atlantic 81 Pacific incomes, the Texas
Pacific land grants and Rio Grande division
frsts, and they are becoming quite active
in consequence. Texas Pacific stock,
Missouri, Kansas & Texas and Denver were
the features this morning. A few shorts in
Michigan Central carried the
price to "a early. 1t soon dropped
below SO. The market dragged during
the afternoon hours. 1t was generally UNDER
stood that the western lines would arbitrate
their differences and the grangers were frmer.
Towards the close there was quite business
in Indiana, Bloomington & Western, with an
advance of about 2 points. The earnings Of
the Union Pacific for the first quarter of 1884,
it is said, will show a falling off of about
81, 500, 600. The stock held its own very well,
however. The southwesterns continued
strong to the end, and the balance were
rather firm, though the market was anything
but active during the greater part of the day.
Hery Ciews & Co. say: The market was
dull but soon became strong on clique and
room traders buying. This infused, in con-
trast to the recent quiet, an activity which
made nancy members feel more comfortable
about the intrinsic value of their seats. The
inanimate state of business during the past
week or so had commenced to cause o
large number of them to wear q
woe-begone face, owing to the apparent
non-producing quality Of their stock in trade.
Despair need not fall to brokers' lot in
Wall street if he is up and doing. Our ex-
change now is recognized market of the
world, and activity will soon supplement the
present lethargic condition, when there will
be business enough for alto do. Our advice
to our friends is to hope ever, which this
country's future fully justifies.

Arrangements are now being perfected
which will terminate the troubles between
the Western Trunk-Line association and

regarding the use of the trademark, "Cali-

that both parties shall drop the trademark,

CHICAGO, March 19-Money is in moderate re-
quest and miscellaneous business sources, but
the demand for carrying grain and provisions is
high, the outward movement of those articles
being too close to receipts to allow much accu'
mutation. All the leading banks report strong
reserves and good paper is in demand at 5@6 fol
large and for smal loans. New York ex-
change was weaker at par at CSC premium. The
weakness was due to an increased supply OF
shippers bills. Foreign exchange was $4.S5A@
$4.s5h for shippers, go day documentary ster
ling and $4.S7 for bankers, go day paper.
