INGHAM's REELECTION.

bureau Has Been since Its organiza-
tion and What 1t Accomplished the
Past Year-The Rate situation.

The annual meeting OF the Kansas
City Transportation Bureau was held
yesterday afternoon in the Commercial
Clubs assembly room. Commissioners
A. J. Nanlandingham was reelected
for another year. The committee ap-
pointed TO raise funds 10 maintain the
bureau during the coming twelve months
reported that of the Sll 900 needed about
1000 had been subscribed. The mem
bers of the committees said that many or
the business houses of the city who had
been generally benefited by the bureau
had not contributed as freely as eN-
pected while others who had received
equal benefits had made no contribu-
tiOns. Additions were made 10 the COM
mittees and the work Of soliciting sub-
scriptions Will be resumed withln the
next three days and continue until the
desired amount has been raised.
The bureau was organized IN les9 II

Stock exchange. II has been ot great
benefit 10 the commercial interests OF
Kansas City, standing between the

Industries of the city.

been notified OF his reelection for an
other year, in which he told Of the work
of the past year. IL said that as
whole freight rates both in and out Of
the city mad been reasonably salts
factory during the year, there having
been but few instances where the rail-
roads seriously dlscrlmlualed against
the city.
The reductions made by some Of the
railroads in rates on grain from Kansas
points 10 ST. Louis, New orleans and
Galveston without giving corresponding
reductions 10 Kansas City have proved
the most Injurious OF the year The
bureau undertook the task OF inducing
the interested railways 70 abolish this
discrimination. but has not Yet succeed
ed in doing SO. The matter is nov in the
hPnds Of Commissioner Nanlaudingha M
and the transportation committee OF the
board Of trade with prospect Of
satisfactory settlement in the near
future.
An advance in grain rates from Ne
braska points in October injured Kansas
City's grain market considerably, but

Business Change.

The Model Steam Laundry in Cen
tralia, formerly owned and conducted by
Messrs. Murray & McCallum, is now in
the hands of Mr.. w. J. McCallum as
sole proprietor. T. E. Murray retired
from the business Saturday evening
last, the partnership having been
ended by mutual transaction, and the
new management continued the work
without interruption. Mr.. Murray is a
pleasant gentleman we'll met and good
business man whom we should not
wish to scratch from the list Of our
commercial dealers. 1t is to be hoped
he will find some other line to interest
him here and continue his residence in
the twin cities.
w. J. McCallum has acted as general
manager of affairs at the laundry DUR
ing its full life and is thoroughly versed
in all the essentials necessary to the
"washee" trade. He is genial, obliging
and prompt with orders and has made
many friends during his brief stay
among US. The REPORTER offers we'll
wisher for all su ccess. The supervision
of the polishin :, etc, rests where it
has been right along, so we have reason
to expect the same good workmanship
as ever at the Model Ste am Laundry.
Ernest Andrews has accepted po-
sition TO look after the collection and
delivery of washables an d will also do
the bookkeeping. He tarted out on
the wagon Monday morn ing.

Condition of Trade.

The sensa tional collapse of specula-
tors at Chicago who controlled Diamond
Match and New York Biscuit stocks and
had hoisted them to fancy figures, with
the consequent closing of the Chicago
Stock Exchange for a period yet in
definite, though followed by remarkably
few failures, brings sudden change in
monetary conditions throughout the
country. At least month earlier than
had been expected Chicago has drawn
heavily upon its bank balances here,
and Withdrawals of other Western funds
may naturally result. Europe was also
freely, SO that the average of sixty most
active railroad stocks fell about S2.1S
per share and the average of Trust
stocks about S1.SS The instant cooper
alton of moneyed interests at Chicago
TO restrict the disturbance deserved
praise and did much good, but it is not
possible to avoid some shock to public
confidence, and a quick tightening of
Eastern money markets which already
shuts off commercial loans almost en-
tirely. The collapse also increased the
caution of bankers and other lenders
regarding loans on securities of a SINH
lar character Other financial events
during the week were important. The
syndicate continued to control foreign
exchange with ease, and a deficit of
nearly S, 000, 900 i'll Government revenue
for the first part Of the month excites
no alarm.
