BALTIMORE, Nd, August 22.-Sporting
eircles were exercised over the rumor that
Kilraln, the pugillst, had left town and that
his bond of $1,000 would be forfeited. he
was not at home but his friends say that be
has no intention of evading the law, mas
much as he knows that even should he be
convicted and sentenced he will never serve q
lays time in q Mississippi prison. Sheriff
Childs, of Mississippi, said that Kilrain
had no intention of giving him the slip.
'sKllrain, said he, els no fool and he knows
ae has nothing to fear from Governor
Lowry. We will start south without waiting
for the time fixed for the court here for him
70 appear in the habeas corpus case"
Sheriff Chields added that Kilrain would
be convicted and given the same sentence,
but that he, too, would appeal to higher
courts and be released on bail. The court
of appeals would not sit for ninety days
and IN the mean time the railroad company
at which the prosecution was really directed
would be dealt with, and the pugilists would
be either pardoned or proceedings against
them dropped. Governor Lowry was after
the railroad company, but it was only by
prosecuting the principals that he could
reach the accessories.

Meat For Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO, August PA very large
business is now being done in the way of
importing American hogs and cattle and the
trade is rapidly increasing. Fully 200 head
of Texas cattle are brought here every
month for city consumption alone, and for
some time past Swift, the prominent packer
of Chicago and Kansas, in connection with
Dr.. Caruthers, of San Antonio, Texas, are
now bringing here several thousand Ameri-
can hogs monthly. They are now erecting
near the yards of the Mexican Central rail-
road in this city, refrigerating works of large
dimensions, in which the curing and pick
ling and smoking of hams and bacon will
be done. The enterprise s the first of its
kind ever attempted in the Republic and
for its success several hundred thousand dol
lars will be invested. Hogs for its supply will
be dressed in kansas City at Sw1ft's works
and will be sent here in refrigerator cars. The
loss of hogs shipped on foot heretofore has
oeen very large and by their shipment
dressed this loss will be avoided. The shlp-
ment of dressed steers will not as vet be at
tempted but it will soon follow; the shippers
Of both beeves and hogs from the United
States to Mexico are building up a business
which promises to become of great proper
ions in the future.

Official Weather Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 27.-The
following Is the weather crop bulletin for
the week ending Saturday August "a, 1889,
issued by the signal office, Washington
city.
"a has been cool from the lake regions
southwark to the gulf and south Atlantic
coasts; the daily temperature in the Ohio
valley, Tennessee and in the South Atlantic
states was from three to ten degrees lower
than usual. Over greater proportion of
the cotton region the average temperature
was aboue 20 degrees below the normal. In
New England and the middle Atlantic states
the average temperature prevailed, while 1t
was warmer than usual from Texas north
ward to Minneso a and Dakota. The thermal
conditions TOR tie season remain practically
unchanged from that previously reported.
Over the principal agriculture regions in
GLIDING the cotton and tobacco, corn and
winter wheat states, the daily temperature
has differed less than one degree from nor
NAL. The season slightly retarded from
the lake regions southwark to the gulf coast
and slightly advanced in New England and
from Kansas northward to Dakota.
frecipitat on-There has been less rain
than usual dur ng this week in al sections
except in Texa, and eastern Minnesota where
slight excuses are reported. The rains in
Texas were timely and must have proven
of great benefit to the cotton crop. Only
light showers are reported in all other por-
tons except ng Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois.
southern Missouri and Arkansas, over which
no rain occurred during the week. The
seasonal rain fall continues in excess on the
Atlantic coast from New England to Flor
ida, and from the Mis- souri valley southwark
to the west gulf coast. Over the principal
corn pro lucing states, and over the central
p rtion of the cotton region the seasonal
rainfall generally exceeds 80 per cent. of
the normal, but from central Tennessee
northward to lower Michigan the seasonal
rainfall ranges from 60 to 20 per cent. of the
normal.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The gross earnings of the five rail-
ways comprising the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe system, from January 81 to
July 81, 1889, were $13,759.226, as
against $12,794,91O in the same period
last year, an increase of $964,316. Out
of one hundred and twenty-four rail
ways, the Santa F'e is second in the
amount of earnings for that period, the
New York Central being first. and the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul third.
Topeka Journal: Five sleepers and
three excursion cars loaded with Tope-
ka people went west on the SantaFe
harvest excursion. They were bound
for Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado,
Utah and California points.-The west
bound trains are heavily loaded with
the harvest excursionists. Train No.
on the Santa Fe had twelve heavily
loaded coaches and No. ran in two
sections. The Rock Island was heavily
taxed to accommodate it's Colorado traf-
fic, No. Ill going in two sections.
No general compact can long prevent
the great railways from building extern
sions into the territories of their COM
petitors when self-defense or the hope
of increased traffic is the stimulus. Thus
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
avowedly intends to build branch from
Beatrice, Neb., northeast to Omaha, a
distance of about one hundred miles,
whereby it would command share of
the extensive shipments of live stock to
Omaha, and would also shorten it's line
between Chicago and Denver something
like $50 miles. It is not improbable
that this extension will be built the
present year, and its completion will
mean new complications and call for
new adjustments among the several
great competitors in the region affected.
Junction City Republican: Receiver
Cross says he has no knowledge con-
corning the reported negotiations be-
tween security holders of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas and the managers of
the Chicago & Alton, whereby the lat
ter intend to get control of the Missou-
ri, Kansas & Texas. He admitted that
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas would
make an excellent outlet to the south
west and Texas for the Alton. The two
companies, he SAID, are now interchang-
ing a great deal of traffic at Higbee,
Mo. If the reported sale or lease of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas should be
consummated, he said, the through
train service between Chicago & Calves
ton could be continued by the Alton
instead of the Burlington, connection
being made with the Alton at Higbee,
Mo-, and that route would b just as
available as the route by the Burlington
via Hannibal.

derstard he intends bringing about
1000 more in and buy corn to feed. He
will want about $4,000 bushels.
Independence Tribune: s. w. Irby,
from near Bartlesville and sons have
grown this year near 5000 bushels Of
wheat, and saved it in splendid condi-
ditlon and have it in bins, except what
they have sold. They have, growing,
near 5000 bushels of corn. Besides,
they have their implements, plenty of
horses, about 100 head of cattle, and
other property to match. All this they
have made by farming, little by little,
and on rented farms.
Dighton Journal: A Marshall, of
Cleveland township brought in load
of wheat, which was of very fine quail
ity. He informed us that there would
be large amount of this cereal sown
in his township this fall and that num-
Der of persons who are not residents of
the county, were coming in to seed
large bodies of land. Lane county next
year will be the banner wheat county in
the west. Ex-Governor Moorhouse,
of Missouri, is now at work on 500
acre crop in Spring Greek township.
The north part Of the county will SOW
great deal more this fall than usual,
and We anticipate the acreage in the
county will reach $4,000 acres.

NEW YoKK. August OR. g. Dun 4 Co. 3
weekly REVIEW of trade says:
The monetary pressure of which so many
warnings have been given, has operated
this week to modify an improvement in
general trade due to excellent prospects. II
is quite the fashion in stock exchange circles
to represent the rise in leading rates as ar
tifcial, and intended to affect prices of
stocks. But the truth Is, that speculation
of VARIOUS sorts had previously withdrawn
too much money from the support of legit-
innate business and the tendency of appre-
hension as to the future has been to cut
down time loans still further, while many
of the loaners have preferred t. p ace their
money on call with ready negotiable col
laterals.
At Boston the wool morket has been COM
pletely unsettled again, sales for the week
amounting to only !, 1UO, 900 pounds, all in
small lots and concessions from 10 to 20
cents would be necessary to move large lots.
At Philadelphia the money market is tight
and the banks scrutiniZe closely, because
they have but little to supply. Here the
demand for commercial paper is very light,
and four months paper range from = to
"A,
far better supplied; Chicago by liberal re-
ceipts from the country and at other points
because the demand has as yet been only
moderate; but some clOseness Is noted at st.
Paul, with slow collections. From all quar-
tiers improvement in business is reported
upon large crops.
The grocery trade improves at most points
excepting as to sugar, for which the demand
has been much affected by the operations of
the trust, and rate a cent lower. Coffee is
in better demand and & cent higher, and
the serious injury to the eastern potato
crop by wet weather has caused sharp adj
vance. Butter and eggs are also higher and
cotton Is cents per spool, notwithstanding
decline af a cent in print cloths.
The splendid crop prospect begin to have
their legitimate effect upon prices of bread
stuffs and provisions. Hogs have declined
20 per cent. lard II cents and pork 80 cents
The latter with sales of 5000 600 bushels,
and wheat has declined n cent with sales of
only $500, 900 bushels here.
The speculative movements in wheat has
been defeated by liberal receipts from the
farmer and when the market is free early
in the season the prospect for the fall trade
is excellent. The iron and steel business
appears still more encouraging, but the
rapid increase in supply encourages con-
sumers to be more confident as to lower
prices.
Secretary WINDOWS confidence that bonds
will be offered freely in case of an advance
in the rates for money, appears to have been
chases this week having been quite liberal,
but the treasury nevertheless holds
$4,000. 900 more cash than it held last Satur-
day, and as has been explained, bond pur-
chasers do not put much money at the right
spot to meet commercial trade. Happily
