4 Season.. Stock SHIPMENTS.

Cattle shipments over the Northern Pacific
road have nearly ceased for the present sea-
son and the figures, while they do not come
up to the anticipatiOnS of the managers of
the road, show an increase over the shipments
of 1885. There are several reasons given for
the shipments not being as heavy as was an
tlcipated. The long continued drouth seri-
ousy affected the ranges, and the cattle in
stead of coming off fat and sleek, are gener-
ally thin and in poor condition. which renders
them unit TO" the market. The recent
strikes in Chicago have had a discouraging
effect on shippers and the rapid decline in
the market in consequence mad the effect of
causing the cattle men 10 hold back their
stock.
Montana steers brought from $40 to SIS per
head less than the price paid for them last
summer. Last season the decline was $40
from the same time in 1884. When the last
strike occurred few days ago, there were
200 head on the road, but the cattlemen
rather than take chances of no market. nm
loaded their cattle and set them loose OF all
the cattle in the market this season, those
coming from the ranges of Montana are ny
far the best.
During the past season the Northern Pacific
has shipped from Montana and Western
Dakota to st. Paul and other Eastern mar
kets on hoof and dressed, SO, O00 head of
cattle against $4,000 head last ear. OF these
$4,000 were shipped on foot and 5000 dressed.
Last year there were shipped $1,000 head on

WiIlTEe Truce Continued

The condition of things among the railroads
yesterday was vir ually unchanged. The
Omaha, Minnesota & Northwestern and Bur-
lington s. Northern roads continue TO sell
labor tickets at , cents per mile. 1t is hoped
by the roads interested that the matter can
be patched up until Dec. l at least, when the
managers agreement will expire, and by that
time some plan may be formed by which rates
can he maintained.
A telegram was received in St. Paul yeSter-
Gay, signed by Hughtt, Of the Northwestern
IOed. and Tucker. Of the Milwaukee, asking
that the various Northwestern roads dong
business between ST. Paul and Chicago, live
up to the agreement. which will expire Dec.
]. The telegram WAS addressed to the traffic
managers OF the roads Interested in
business between Chicago and the
Northwest. and said that the situation prom
ised to become serious unless the managers
agreement was lived UP to. The message
asked the traffic managers to authorize their
general passenger agents to aiiiX their sigma
lures to Il rat her lengthy circular.
The circular was sent out by the North
western Passenger association to its own
agents and connecting lines 1t urged the
agents to observe that the general passenger
agents had ordered strict maintenance of
ali present established rates in the published
tariff TO and from all points. The circular
read: "All special rates are Withdrawn, and
the regular tariff rates, as published, are Or
dered restored" it stated that round-trip
tickets must not be sold to Missouri river
points nor to any points on or beyond the
lines Interested. unless authorized by the as
sociatiOn. 1t read:
We are obliged to require you to report to
US full proportions o. regular tariff rates on
all passenger business, ticketed to points on
or reached via any of the lines IN this assoca
tiou. We shall also require you TO report full
unlimited local rates on all unlimited local
tickets sold by you to points on and reached
via any of the lines in the association, and to
limit all tickets sold at less than unlimited
local rates TO continuous passage
The telegram intimated that compliance
with the requirements of the agreement
would be insisted upon by all lines in the
association.
1t is probable that this circular will be
signed and the truce continued until Dec. l,
IL which case the Omaha, Minnesota & North
western and Chicago, Burlington & Northern
roads will be obliged to give up their two
cent labor rate. After Dee. l there is liable
to be general wrecking of the passenger
business unless some scheme, yet unthought
of, is adopted to hold the roads down to the
letter and spirit of an agreement. The only
way in sight to do this is to establish a gross
money pool, and it is hardly probable that
the Burl ingtOn and Northera will go into it.
1t is inumated in railroad circles that
there is more than one road terminating in
St. Paul that would like nothing better than
to see passenger rates 20 TO pieces.

Bad Plun,bing ana Diphtheria.

Considerable comment has recently been
made regarding the sanitary condition of
residences in this city. Many who have
given the matter little attention have sud
denly awakened to the fact that the great
prevalence of diphthera typhoid fever and
like diseases is due. in many cases, to bad
sewerage and defective plumbing. Citizens
OF st. Paul now have an opportunity of
testing and finding out for a certainty
whether their sewerage and plumbing is
perfect j. P. Adamson, No. 246 West
Third street. has recently completed a
smoke-testing machine. with the use of
which any defect can readily be detected.
Within few days several tests have been
made. and plumbing that was supposed to
be first-class has been found very defective.
Parties interested in this matter will do
well to address Mr.. AdamsOn, at the above
number, upon this subject.
