OCEAN RATES HIGHER
YET EXPORT BUSINESS HAS SELDOM
BEEN so HEAVY As NOW.
Indianapolis Shippers Compelled to
Apply Weeks in Advance to Secure
Room I'm Steamships.

Not at any time in years has export bus
mess of grain and provisions been as heavy
in early November as at present, and ocean
rates nave advanced to higher figures than
at any time in some years. To secure
room Kingan & Co. and other shippers of
provisions are obliged to apply weeks in
advance. OF late the railways have been
making some fast time with export ~freights
to both New York and Boston. Some days
ago Indianapolis shippers were notified
that everything was full on the Cunard
steamers which sail from Boston and New
York on Saturday, and TO insure shipment
on those steamers the freight must be at
the seaboard terminal ready to load on
Friday morning. The cause OF the rush IL
export business is said to be to get -four,
provisions and cerealine products on the
other side In season for the holiday trade
on the continent. Present indications are,
however. tina export business of the class
es named vii be heavy for some months
TO come.
Not Yet Ready for Profit Sharing.
NJ. E. ingalls,, president Of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio. in commenting on the con-
dition of that property when he took charge
of II, and, concerning its future. said: 1T

and rolling stock were in poor condition
and the personnel seems to have been
about the same. Employees were not scared
by threats OF discharge, for they said they
couldn't go to a worse road even if they
went to Texas. In casting around for the
best means of elevating the service it was
thought best to encourage the Young Mems
Christian Association, though the conf
dence OF the management in 1t vas not
over strong. The results, however, have
been exceedingly gratifying. and / give the
association credit for a large share of the
success of the road In weathering the Sc
we're financial conditions OF the past two
years. Freight has been carried for four
mills per ton per mile, and yet they have
kept out OF bankruptcy. The service OF
the Chesapeake a OHIO is now such that /
am ready TO compare II with any line In
the country. In carrying the mails IL has
beaten the larger roads. The freight men
between Newport News and Cincinnati car
be about as sure OF their hours as the
passenger men. The accident expense ac-
count has been reduced from $1,000 a day
TO less than 500. 1 hope TO establish hos
pitfalls. and, some time, TO see q system OF
pensions and annuities, also a savings
bank. Profit-sharing has been considered
so definitely by the directors that they
have determined that wit the improve

Proposed Diyision of Traffic.


A meeting OF the general managers of
the lines in the Central Traffic Association
will be held in this city next Friday for
the purpose OF taking action on a propo-
sition to organize a division Of traffic on
east-bound steamship business from Chi
cago. This proposition comes from a COM
mittee representing the differential lines to
which the preparation OF a plan for the
maintenance OF rates In connection with
this class OF business was referred. The
committee recommends that the business be
divided up among the lines in proportions
yet to be determined. The additional rec
ommendation Is also made that the rates
on this kind OF business be made 81 less
from. Chicago TO New York than regular
second-class rates. The call for the meet
ing is made on the fact that the differ
entail lines, which are generally considered
to have the call on the steamship bust
ness, rave a fashion of lighting among
themselves. with the result OF demoraliza-
ton in the regular rates. TIL standard
lines rave taken this means to get out OF
their trouble If it be possible to do so.

Running Time shortened.

The lines between Chicago and Omaha
held a meeting in Chicago yesterday at
which II was determined to shorten the
running time between the two cities by one
hour, making the schedule fourteen hours,
instead of fifteen, as at present. This was
agreed on because Of the determination OF
the Northwestern and the Union Pacific
combination to cut the time between Chi
a and San Francisco. The two roads
have determined 10 run through sleeping
cars from Chicago to san Francisco and
Los Angeles in such a manner that the
present running time between Chicago and
San Francisco will be shortened BY one
night on the road. 1t is expected that
twenty-four hours will be saved on the
time to Los Angeles.

From the Fruit Market.

l Below is published the latest advices
deceived from the Eastern fruit market.
Our fruit raisers cannot watch the re-
ports too closely, as it is the only way of
becoming thoroughly posted:
tThe past two weeks have seen more
cherries shipped from Oregon than ever
before and while prices have ruled
higher generally than heretofore, it is
not an unusual price. California cher
ries have sold in past years for better
prices and the prices ruling prior to
July 4th is simply an eye opener to the
cherry growers of Oregon; cents per
pound to the shipper is trifle higher
than Eastern. markets warranted, not
withstanding commission houses paid
that price for several carloads. A repre-
sentative of the Oregon Fruit Union left
Portland June 25th and attended the
auction sales, where the cars of cherries
shipped by local commission houses
jointly, were sold, prices varying from
rs cents to $1.20 per box. On July I'd,
two cars arrived the same day in Mimi
eapolis, one shipped by Levy & spiegle,
Mark Levy & Co. and Page & Son, the
other by w. S. Offner and DIR. N. G.
Blalock. This, of course, is the reason
why some ruled somewhat lower than
they need have-further comment is un-
necessary.
''Two shipments sold in Chicago, July
Sd; one car of 1900 boxes from Levy &
spiegel, Mark Levy & Co, and Jac
Fischel & Co. for $1675 or an average OF
SS cents per box, what the shippers had
left after paying so cents per box for
fruit, box furnished cents, SO to &C
cents for transportation and expenses oi
sale, you can figure. W. s. Ofner also
had a shipment sold in Chicago for 5C
cents per box"

Word came in this morning that MrA

stiIl. Another Runaway.

OF all the runaways The Dalles has
ever had the most exciting and fatal
occurred last night, about 9 O'Clock. Mr..
Ferguson's team had just brought the
Umatilla House bus from the depot and
was being unhitched in front of the Cos.
mopolitan, when the engine that was
making up train came down the track.
The horses became scared and started to
run down Front street. They were
headed for Portland and going at pas
senger train speed. The horses struck
the switch stand at the east end of the
bridge and overturned it. The horses
then parted and one started up Union
street while the other kept on the rail-
road bridge and ran to the end of the
passenger walk and over the end into
Mill creek. The horse fell about forty
feet and struck on his head by the
waters edge. His neck was broken.
The portion of town where the run
away occurred saw more excitement
than for a long time and people rushed
out on the bridge to where the horse
made his Steve Brodie jump. A boat
towed the carcass out into the river this
morning and it has started for the sea
coast.
