NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-The dealings in stocks
today was upon lighter scale than on We'd
nesday, and the distribution of business was
not quite as good. The market however
displayed an absorbent power that had not
been expected and proved superior to further
heavy realizattons and bear attacks. Com
mission houses reported increased business
especially in the lower priced shares, and
declared that the market displayed greater
resistance than heretofore to bear attacks
In the last hour large operator sold the
active railway stocks all around, presuma-
bly, to depress prices for effect upon the Lon
don market tomorrow. The course of prices
was Irregular, but the variations. aside
from few Of the specialties lacked impor-
lance. Trading at the outset was marked
by weakness on realizations and bear offer
ings. The declines were Insignificant, and
the bears discovering the stubborn attitude
OF holders Of securities, covered their lines.
The traders who have not been fighting the
rise bid the market up on the shorts. Man

improved figures. The aggressive strength
displayed by these properties contributed to

general reaction occurred. Illinois Steel,
however, rose 2B and Minnesota Iron 1 per

Rates on Apples, Packing House
Products ETC., Reduced.

The general decentralization of freight
rates, following upon the disruption of
the Western Freight association, COM
municated itself to the tariffs en- APP
pies, packing house produce and other
commodities yesterday, and the end is
not yet.
The Great Western yesterday an
nounced a cut of cents on packing
house produce from South st. Paul to
Ohio river points and destinations East
thereof. The basis heretofore has been
26 and % cents. The action Of the
Great Western was taken to meet the
cut of the Burlington and Rock Island
on rates to Chicago, from Iowa and
Missouri points. The Great Western
has merely extended the rate to ST.
Paul. The rate will be effective Oct Z.
The Great Western has also reduced
its rate on apples from Kansas City
and other points to 16 cents. The 500
line of steamers has been bringing ap-
Piles West from Buffalo, N. Y, at this
rate for several days, but the lines did
not seem to know 1t. The Northern
Steamship company has also met the
rate, effective today. A rate of Is cents
on grapes from Chicago to ST. Paul has
also been made effective today.

WILL HAVE TO BURN CORN.
Coal Is Too High ON Southwestern
Farms.

Owing to the coal combine, hard coal
in Southwestern Minnesota, Western
Iowa and Nebraska costs $3.50 to SO
per ton. There is no likelihood of the
price coming down and the depressing
news comes from that section that the
distracted farmers will be- driven to
the necessity Of buring this years corn
crop in their stoves and ranges in order
to keep warm during the long winter
months.
Twice during the last ten years the
farmers have been driven to the same
course, and each time the coal combine
was largely responsible. Unless an I'M
looked for change of heart comes from
the barons and Eastern RAILWAYS which
control the hard coal fields. hundreds

The situation is just this. The price
of corn is too small to realize any profit
at all, and the price of coal Is so ex-
cessively high that the farmers saw it
Will be far cheaper to burn their corn
for fuel and thus save excessive coal
bills. The general manager of one of
the large systems leading into ST. Paul.
said to the G o b e yesterday that he
had had several conversations with
people residing to the west and soI,th-

500 DEAL HANGING FIRE.
Roads Cannot Agree ON a Proper
Percentage. 900 a5

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The Chicago st.
Paul lines and the 500 are not making
very good progress in their conference
relative to rates, east and west-bound
from st. Paul, and the chances are now
that the meeting will result in nothing.
The point of difference lies in what
may be considered a fair percentage.
The difference is so wide that there is
a very small chance of its being bridg-
ed over. The 500 also asked that it be
allowed differential Of $3.50 from ST.
Paul to New York and all New England
points, and on this the Chicago-St
Paul lines have also baked.

Lake Line Must Restore Rates or
Stand a Fight.

The board of managers of the Great
Lakes line was given until Oct IL to
file statement that it was ready and
in a position to restore the tariff on
flour to seaboard points to Is cents
from 22h cents. This statement has
rot as yet been filed, and it is not like
ly that it will be, which makes 1T prac-
tically an assured fact that the rate
will not be advanced.
Yesterday all Chicago lines, at the
request of Chairman Midgley, notified
the 500, that, if it was agreeable to
that line, they were willing TO restore
the rate. This was, perhaps, rather
an unusual proceeding in freight cir
cles. but there is a very strong desire
to advance the tariff. But as the 500
will probably refuse to accede until the
lake managers signify their ability to
maintain the rate, nothing will come
of the offer.
