Wheat Moving During Last W eek Quite Lively
The Railroads Unable to Respond
Promptly to Orders.
The railroads have been unusually busy
during the last week handling wheat and
some corn The increased activity is said
to be mostly due to the fact of a better
price for wheat and the farmers are SELL
ing, which makes the carrying trade for
the railroads. From estimates on returns it
appears that more wheat left southwest
ern Kansas last week than during the
month of September and the first five days
of October. Some of it stops in Wichita;
nearly one-half goes to Texas, and most OF
that to Galveston and Houston. Less than
one-fourth to St. Louis, about the same to
Chicago and Kansas City. Much of it
goes to the states and territories and the
Rocky mountains.
The railroad men hope that prices will
continue to be such that the farmers will
be willing to sell, SO they can have the
business. An inquiry at offices found all
crowded with business and unable to fill
car orders promptly. One road is one
hundred and fifty cars behind orders, an
other hundred. and others behind some.
the demands at competitive points and
where no other roads could be reached the
orders were allowed to be given less prompt
attention.
The Missouri Pacific has been
rushed very much during the
week. The branches from Wichita
handling on an average per day during the
week about one hundred cars OF wheat,
twenty-eight cars of corn and some oats,
They have been rushing their freight night
and day as fast as steam with a fair
amount of safety would allow.
On the Santa Fe the lines south Of New
ton up to the 5th inst. handled one thous-
and cars of wheat. Since that time they
have been handling within the neighbor-
hood of one hundred cars daily. Corn &C.
cupied about one-fifth as many cars as the
wheat. The company has been utilizing
cars to the best advantage, as there seems
to be scarcity of them as compared with
the demand. The Wichita & Western has
been unusually busy. being pressed to
meet the demand for cars. During the
week they have averaged twenty-five cars
of wheat with fair business in corn, and
increase in the merchandise. The late
changes in operating the road has cut
down running expenses very materially,
while the business has increased, having
very cheering result for the stock
holders.
The Kansas Midland last week enjoyed
some of the wheat boom, and reports a
good business.
The Rock Island during the week put
on some extra freight trains to meet the
demand in grain shipments.

ardent admirer of Wichita and has aver

ing he had strong faith in Wichita would
repeat the disparaging reports about the
city to him for the benefit of the surround

at them very successfully and was arming
himself with more facts this time with

Returned From Helena.

Mr.. Lainie Higgs, who is interesting
himself in organization of the refrigerat-
ing company here, returned from Helena
by yesterdays Montana Central train. He
says that he had delightful visit at the
capital and received the most courteous
attention from the enterprising citizens
there generally as we'll as from the stock
men in particular.
During the few days of his stay in
Helena he met Col. Broadwatcr, who,
deeply interested in every enterprise
having for its object the upbuilding of
Great Falls and Northern Montana, ex-
pressed earnest interest in the movement
and trusted that tue stock men of the
Territory would take hold of the matter
with will. So far as he was personally
concerned, the enterprise would receive
his hearty endorsement.
Messrs. Gillette, F. d. Cooper, Murphy,
of Murphy, MaClay & Co., Cory, Of
Bach, Cory & Co., aud other leading bust
ness men and cattle-owncrs, were all
favorably impressed with the movement
and thought the time opportune for the
enterprise.
A liberal outpouring Of the cattle men
and all interested in the work of provid-
ing home market for the beef and NUT
ton Of this section of Montana, is expect
ed at the meeting to be held here on
Tuesday next, 18th inst.
