The unexpected cold weather on the lakes
will prevent the lake craft commencing op,
e~rations as early as had been expected, and
the railroads will profit by the delay more
or less. At Chicago the grain fleet is ready
to start out as soon as a favorable vino
blows. The room chartered is for 2,229,539
bushels of corn, 226. 400 bushels of wheat
and 81. 1872 bushels of oats. OF this amount
1,6s4.0O0 bushels of corn go to Buffalo, 2O4,-
$50 to Georgian bay, 245.000 to Ogdensburg,
5000 to Sarnia and Port Huron, and 5000

Wrong Street Named In the Bin.
Die Editor of .he Indlanapons journal:

To the Editor of The Indianapolis Journal:
In your issue of to-day, under the above
headline appears the statement that
House Bill SIS, opening a street through the
State grounds south of the Women's Re-
formatory, had failed in it's purpose by
opening Ohio street instead of New York
street. as was the intention of the bill.
Being the author of the bill, as we'll as hav-
ing enrolled the same after its final pas
sage, / feel competent to speak as to its in
%tentiOn. and desire to say that the objects of
the bill is to open a street at the south side
of the grounds inclosed by the iron fence
surrounding the Reformatory buildings.
The provision of the bill is that the road
way or street commence at a point on the
east line of said land 1,166 feet south of the
northeast corner thereof, in the middle of a
street running from thence east, known as
East Ohio street, and running thence west
parallel with the north line to the west line
of said land" Had your informant con-
suited a map he would have learned that
Ohio street east of the State lands is more
than a square north of Ohio street west of
said land. The survey set out in the bill
was taken from the records of Marion
county, and locates the center of the road
way on or near the iron fence south of the
WOman's ReformatOry. 5. NJ. BRUCE.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Average Freight Tonnage Moving

An Average Freight Tonnage Moving.
The train records show that the volume
of freight traffic is FULLY up to the usual
April record, and that it is even a little
heavier than in the corresponding week
last year. The light movement of empty
cars is still a noticeable feature, and is in
some measure due TO the lighter coal move
ment. The e~ast-bound through tonnage.
however, is light, comparatively speaking.
Export traffic does not improve, as expected.
The shipments of live stock are light. and
but little grain is moving to the seaboard.
The c., l., st. l.. 81 c. road, through its con-
nection with the indianapolis g. st. Louis,
is carrying more h any other route. In.
creased shipments of live stock are not
looked for before the middle of May, but by
the 1st of May it is believed that the east
bound shipments Of grain for New York
and New England. and for export, as well.
by nearly all lines is in excess of last year,
and is daily improving. 1t consists
largely of merchandise, such as dry goods,
fancy notions and heavy groceries, with
considerable machinery. West from here
shipments of furniture are again large.
NOrth-and-south roads are not doing quite
as much as thirty days ago, shipments of
ice and grain having fallen Oft somewhat,
yet there is an average April business, and
Local business is excellent. Building
material, hardwood lumber. stave timber
In the rough and wagon material is coming
in by the train load, and the shipments of
stone and brick in here are as heavy as in
the boom times of 1870, 1871 and 1872. Out
bound there is a good movement, and with
the coming of spring weather the volume
of local business will increase largely with
out doubt. The outlook for freight bust
ness for some time to come could hardly be
more favorable so far as local traffic is con-
cerned, but foc some weeks to come the
volume of east-bound through business
will depend on the markets. If prices of
grain and live stock advance east the ship
ments will be heavy, but if the markets are
depressed they viii be light.
Below is given the number of cars re-
ceived and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the corresponding weeks in 1888 and 1887:

BILE to make any statement without the
special authorization from the governor of
the bank"
well, then, SIT, what would you advise
me to dor"
The secretary considered for a moment
and then said:
lit seems to me the best thing you can do
is to read 'Hankey's Treaties on Banking
1t is a most excellent book, and would pre-
pare you to understand and to write about
the question you wish to discuss"
After q few more interviews with various
officials, who all advised me to read Han
key on Banking" / at last came back to
the young clerk whom / questioned at the
outset and he gave me the following can
did counsel:
my advice to You is to 60 ahead and
write up these o%ne-pOund notes from your
imagination. You know quite as much
about it as any of us do, and SO there will
be nobody to contradict you Besides THAT,
what you will write in this way is sure to
be ten times as interesting as the combined
opinions of the Chancellor of the Elk
chequer. the governor of the bank, the
chief cashier, the chief secretary, the chief
accountant and all the rest of them boiled
down together. That's my advice"
