GID ST. JOHNS HALL
So Much Improved Its Friends Will
Hardly Know 1t.

hhTuly hnoW A.
The frequenters of old st. Johns Hall
would not recognize 1t could they see it
as it is now. Manager Mullone ha greatly
changed and improved it, and has
changed its name. 1t will in future be
known as Opera House Hall. The main
room which is conceded to be the finest
dancing room in the city has been newly
floored, and the unsightly benches which
stood against the walls have been re-
moved. In their stead nicely upholstered
settees and chairs have been introduced.
The dancing floor has also been en-
larged. and is now 20 by 40 feet. The
walls have been frescoed and papered.
and the ante-rooms brightly painted, will
be lighted by large chandeliers. Taken
altogether, Opera House Hall is one of
the finest ball rooms in the city. 1t is
provided with every convenience for
guests.

KICKING ON RATES.
Michigan Furniture Men Desire a
Change.

Change.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-A delegation of
furniture manufacturers from Grand
Rapids. Mich, was in the city to-day,
and visited the general offices of mum
Der of the Western railroads. The mis-
sion of the visitors was to protest
against the application of Chicago rates
on furniture shipments from Northern
wisconsin territory TO the Missouri
river, while higher rate is charged
from points east of Lake Michigan, al
though the distance via Chicago is no
greater. They claim that they are being
disseminated against, and that the
rates by way OF Chicago or Milwaukee
to the Missouri river should be no
lower from Northern Wisconsin points
than from Grand Rapids.
The same question came up about
three months ago at meeting of the
Western Freight association on a re-
quest of the Chicago Il Alton for au-
thOrity to make the same rates for all
manufacturers located at an equal dis
lance from Chicago. This request was
cOncurred in by the Chicago, St. Paul q
Kansas City railroad and other Western
roads, but Chairman Midgley ruled that
1t was out of order, declaring that it
would be Just as reasonable TO say that
the same rats should apply from Gin
cinnati. The rates from Northern Wis
cOnsin territory are made by the Chi
cagO IL Northwestern and the Chicago,
Milwaukee IL st. Paul roads. Other
Western lines are in favor of giving
equal advantages to manufacturers on
the east side OF the lake, but all propO-
sltiOns to that end have been overruled.
They were unable to make any PROM
ises to the Grand Rapids people, and
the latter Will HOW endeavor to carry
their point by addressing a complaint to
the board of commissioners OF theWeSt-
ern Traffic association.

Business Recovering and a
large Volume of Trade,

NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade will say: Business has
entirely recovered from the disturbance
caused by the Maverick bank failure. Money
at New York has fallen again to per cent OH
call, and at Boston plenty is Offering aud
rates are steady. Trade is large in volume
for the season, and in many lines. especially
nj the West the largest ever known. But
margins for profits are narrow. and the ten
dency of prices is not upward in that re-
spect. While breadstuffs advance. most
manufactured products tend TO decline.
Records Of mortgages satisfied in Western
counties show that enormous sums are taken
for that purpose by farmers from their re-
ceipts. so that an unusual proportion of the
money paid for crops goes to cancel debts
created in past years. Doubtless this in part
explains the fact that the demand for varf-
Gus manufactured products has not vet in
creased so largely as was expected, in view
of the great crops raised.
The IRON output Nov. was the creates

CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-The federal grand
jury did not make much progress in its
investigation of the freight rate discrim-
nations at the session to-day. There
were only two witnesses examined. and
these TWO gentlemen seemed to have
paresls of the mind as far as knowing
anything about interstate law violations.
w. ii. Smith, freight agent of the Lack
awanna line. was the first witness this
morning. He was under fire about half
an hour, and declared he knew absO-
lutcly nothing; and, Notwithstanding
the sharp questioning by both District
Attorney MilchriSt and some of the
jurors, Mr.. Smith did not give one iota
of testimony that could be distorted
into the least semblance of fact.
q. Is. Sprggs, the jolly freight agent
of the Nickle Plate, aid not know any
thing, either, although he was unarmed
and alone among the inquisitorS for
three-quarters of al hour. When he
was dismissed the jurors wondered how
1t was that Mr.. Spriggs. who knew SO
little, should be at the head of the great
Nickel Plate freight sy stem.

NOT ENOUGH CARS.
A Freight Blockade Is on at Chi
cagO.


CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-For the first time
this season serious blockade OF freight
between Chicago and the Mississippi
river seems imminent. This is not so
much due to the surplus of business,
however, as 10 delayed grain inspection.
There was time when grain could be
sent direct to the elevator upon its ar
rival and unlOaedd. but now agents go
through the yards and label twO-thirds
Of the cars as hold" They can hold
them for fOrtY-eight hours. This has
been done extensively Oh the Burling-
ton, and now that road is sutferidg from
blockade in its Chicago yards that has
forced the freight departments to stop
shipments until further orders. In the
meantime shippers out west are be-
ginning to suffer for want of cars, and
the much talked OF car famine seems to
be in Signt at last.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. I3.-The car
shortage IS increasing. The Missouri
Pacific was short GOO cars to-day, de-
spite its withdrawal from the New Or
leans business. The road has decided
to refuse all shipments from connec-
tons unless the billing is received be-
fore or at the time the car is delivered.
SO that it can be sent out Immediately.
The Memphis is in bad shape, and has
been unable to receive freight from the
other roads for the past week or more.
