NEW YORK, Oct. l4.-Wall street is
full of rumors to-day that an important
railroad transaction Is soon to be con-
summnted, being none other than the
securing of control by the Missouri, KAN
sas aud Texas of the International aud
Great Northern railroad. 1t is said that
ever since the Gould interest in the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas was transferred
to the bondholders, the latter have been
making most strenuous efforts to increase
their hold on the property. If this coup
is made the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
will secure possession of S25 miles OF new
roadbed. Galveston, which at present
is only entered by two roads, the Gulf +,
Colorado and Santa Fee aud the Interna-
tional, would be opened TO the Missouri,
Kansas aad Texas. Not less important
interests would ensue If the deal is car
ried through would be- the valuable con-
nertions with the Mexican National at
Laredo. Prominent Texas men here and
others interested in Texas railways say
that this combination would change the
entire traffic arrangements in Texas and
the complexion of railroad affairs in that
state would he completely metamor-
Uhused.

Col. j. p. Moore. general livestock
agent of the Texas and Pacific, in refer
ring TO the movement of cattle from
West Texas, yesterday, remarked that il
was lighter ut present than he ever knew
il TO be at this season of the year.
"When do you expect il to start up?'
asked the reporter.
81 have heen expecting il to start up
all this month, but there is no indication
that it will for some time yet. The fact
of the matter Is there is no inducement
for stock men 10 ship cattle. A beef
steer weighing 1000 pounds brings only
s. % per 100 pounds in st. Louis, and
what inducemeut is that for "a man TO
ship them. The cattle are better on the
range than on u market no better than
that, and the cattletnen are not going to
ship. There il Il shI ment made now
and then, but the movement as u general
thing is light. -

A delegation of citizens from Vernon
waited on the Fort Worth and Denver
people few DAYS ago and asked that
they be given improved passenger service
TO Fort Worth. They made two requests,
one for an additional train during the
Dallas fair, and another that the double
service be continued after the fair was
over. The officials granted the first re-
quest but gave no positive answer to the
second one, though It is believed that
they will consider the matter favornbly.

always shown a disposition TO grant all

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Wabash
company Is negotiating the sale of its
Dies Moines and Southwestern branch.
Three companies are bidding for il. The
price asked is $50 900 cash. 1t extends
from D,s Moines to Abba sixty -six miles,
and taps rich coal fields In Iowa. The
Wabash is willing to sell because il is an
outlying branch disconnected from the
main system, which could be made q
part of the system, however, by the
purchase and lease of existing lines from
Abba to Glenwood Junction, forty six
miles. The Northwestern road is seek
ing an entrance to these coal fields, and
for that reason has entered into negotiu-
tions for the road. The Atchison wants
the Dies Moiues connection and entrance
into these coal fields, and so it is seeking
the road. One other line is also bidding
for il to complete its own connection
with Des Monies from the southeast.

THE TRANSPORTATION ASSOCIATION

ST. Louis, Nov. 19-The National
Transportation association, composed of
delegates from various boards of trade
throughout the country, met here today.
The car service Of railroads was discussed,
and plan was adopted providing that the
government should fix the time to be con-
sumed in transporting freight from one
point to another, and compelling railroads
topay shippers or consignees ademUrrage of
at least 81 per day for time in excess of the
specified transit This was deemed no
the railroads exact demurrage at that rate
per day for failure of consignees to remove
their freight within forty-eight hours
after its receipt. The plan was submitted
TO the executive committee Of the associa-
tion with the instruction TO submit it TO
the proper congressional committee at as
early date as possible. The association
will hold its next meeting February, 1891,
In Cincinnati.
