UNDER THE CHICAGO WHEAT
MARKET.
SENTIMENT WEAK TO START.
HEAVY RECEIPTS AND LOWER
CABLES INFLUENCED PRICES
AT THE OPENING.
RALLY CAME IN A SUDDEN spLURGH
Heavy Buying by Cudahy Brokers
Was the Most influential Factor
of the Day.

CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-The taking hold Of the
wheat market again by big operators and the
confidence inspired by their action was large
ly responsible for an advance of a cent in
December today. All the other markets were
firm, advancing l3c, oats NC and pro-
visions 219@719c. Wheat, for about an hour
after the opening. continued to evince
preference for lower prices. The starting
transactions in December were at from 6714c
down to 67ssc. about NC below the previous
days closing prices, and 671s@67Ac was soon
reached. The reasons for the weakness were
two-fold. The Liverpool quotations at the
opening were below yesterdays closing fig
ures and the Minneapolis and Duluth
ceipts were again so heavy as to afford those
who were inclined to magnify the size of
the spring wheat crop with plausible argu-
ment in favor of that contention. The
ceipts at those points were 1150 cars, as
compared with 20S last year. After holding
short time around 67Ac, the market made
sudden splurge and before the advance
was checked the price had gained nearly
11ac. The late Liverpool cable came Ad
higher. But the most stimulating influence
was the discovery that Cudahy, whose selling
has of late been the chief stumbling block
in the way of the bulls, had changed his
tactics and had become an active buyer. The
purchases for his account up to noon were
believed to have aggregated at least 2, 600 000
Dusnels december nnally sold up to 691Sc,
but did not hold all the advance. Really
Ing sales caused a reaction to 685s@6S%c,
where the market closed. Corn was firm
most Of the session and sold &c above the
close last night. May opened unchanged at
zee, and advanced to 261ac, holding steady
at that point to the close. Oats opened at
or very near yesterdays closing prices sold
up to asQ1sc in sympathy with wheat and
corn, reacted trifle under the same in
huence, but closed firm and higher Nav

BISHOP OF DULUTH.
ne VIII BE Elected In New York


One Will Be Elected In New York
ON October 20.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-As the result
OF call issued in August by Presiding
Bishop Williams, the bishops Of the
Protestant Episcopal church will as
semble on Tuesday, Oct 20, at the
church mission house in this city. The
object Of this special meeting is to con-
slider the election of two additional
missionary bishops for the jurisdic-
tons of Duluth. Mimi, and Asheville,
N. c., authorized by the general con-
vention of 1895. Until recently doubts
have been entertained as to whether
the bishops would be justified in pro-
ceeding with an election because of the
deficit in the income of the board of
missions, but the increase Of revenue
during the last few months has re-
moved the financial difficulties.

The increase in the cost of conducting

freight traffic handled
During the previous year no steel rails
were replaced, and cost of maintenance of
way and equipment was curtailed as much
as safety and proper economy permitted II
was thought good economy, therefore this
year TO improve the standard OF the road bv
rsplaclng many temporary structures with
others OF permanent character, and having
Fuficient steel rail to make up for the deficit
OF the year previous.
The long bridge across Bay St Louis at
Grassy Point, connecting the main line with
Superior, Wisconsin, required entire renewal
and about two miles of pile and trestle ap-
proackes rebuilt and about two-thiris
of the pile work filled in.
Ono hundred and forty-three thousand and
thirty dollars and f1fty-1ive cents of the in
creased expenses of maintenance of way and
equipment was expended for improvements
and betterments other than those ordinarily
charged to working expenses; and we're
charged to operating account.
During the year g. $50 tons of new steel rail
we're purchased and laid 1874 764 cross ties
were placed in track; 80 ITO miles of fence
were rebuilt.
Equipment was increased by the purchase
of three large switching engines. ten stock
cars and fifty fat cars, the cost of which
was made direct charge to income account
Forty engines received repairs; twenty nine
receiving general repairs and eleven light re-
oyerhauled; one thousand seven hundred and
six st. Paul and Duluth, and two hundred
and sixty-two foreign freight cars received re-
pairs; eighty-nine other cars also received
repairs.
A personal inspection Of the road gives evil
dence Of increased settlements along the line
which will materially aid the local business
Of the company.
In considering the future value Of this prop
erty, its railroad geography, with reference
TO the general lines of through transporta-
connection Of trib
must be regarded, and attention paid to the
tables OF commodities of traffic which prin-
cipally affect freight earnings
The transportation of products of the forest
VIII decrease with the reduction of the forests
themselves, and must be replaced by other
traffic.
The value Of the railway as a part of lake
and rail transportation between St Paul and
minneapolis and the East will vary with the
value Of those cities as distributing points
and with the further extension of railways
now centering there, to their own terminals
on the Great Lakes.

THREE DIRECTORS REELECTED
MythicaI Suit Against the Northern
Pacific Railway-I4Oca1 News of
the Railroads.

The showing made by the st. Paul
& Duluth railroad during the past ifs
cal year, as reported at the annual
meeting of the stockholders yesterday,
is very satisfactory, taking into con-
sideration the dull times. The st. Paul
& Duluth line is getting its share Of
business from the head of the lakes,
as the detailed report will show.
There were present at the meeting
President r. Somers Hayes, Vice Pres
ident and General Manager A. B.
Plough. w. r. Merriam and James
Smith, Jr. Outside of the consideration
of the annual reports and the election
of directors, there was but little bust
ness before the meeting. r. B. Dob
son, of New York; John L. Riker. New
York, and A B. Plough We're reelected
directors for another term of three
years.
The snnual meeting Of the directors
for the purpose of eiecting the officers
of the company was postponed owing
to the lack of a quorum. The meet
Ing will doubtless be held in New York
as soon as President Hayes arrives In
that city. 1t is not thought that there
will be any change in the personnel of
the staff officers and the general man
ager, as the road has been managed
in q most capable manner. Mr.. Plough
is highly regarded amung the stock
holders as conservative and able d.
recting head. The annual reports are
as follows:
The report Of the operations and general
affairs OF the road for the fiscal year ending
June 80 was submitted by the president and

As a land restorer and renovator
and incidentally as a hay plant, the
COW pea renders its greatest service
to the country. And it is only Of
late years that it has been generally
planted for these purposes. Com
pairing it with red clover, we find
that the cow pea has several points
of advantage, while it is inferior in
none that are important. One of
these most valuable advantages is
the ease and certainty of securing a
stand" and the fact that it can
be grown as a "catch CROP" i. g., it
may be planted or sown in the regu-
lar corn crop and SO conveniently
follow a crop Of small grain. From
the planting of the seeds to the har-
vesting Of the vines for hay, or the
ripening of the pods when left to
mature seed, there is a period of but
so to 100 days. The Whippoorwill
(speckled) pea planted June l will
be ready for the mower by the last
days OF August; and the ripe pods
will be ready to gather early in Sep.
TENDER. The New Era" variety is
still earlier, while others arc later. :
