WHEAT SHOWED STRENGTH.
While It Advanced in Chicago, It De-
cIined Abroad.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-There was a moder-
ale degree of strength in the wheat pit
at the opening, December starting at
9OAc. as compared With yesterday S
! closing price Of 901s, and advancing to
903s at ouce. The firmness was due in
great measure to the continuance of
the dFough in the west, which is daily
growing more serious, vista no imGne-
diate prospects of rain. Liverpool
cables showed unexpected steadine5s.
! considering the drop there yesterday,
and was also g. factor. But tEna little
bulge with which trading commenced
was soon ololiterated under a food of
selling, which was participated in by
many of the biggest operators on the
floor. The fact that some of tine out
side markets ere at the time relatively
much weaker than Chicago, helped
along the declines which carried the
price of December down to 1895 almost
without a stop. The statistics of the
day were by no means beariSh, but
traders we're determined to sell never
! theless, and sch they did
The Liverpool market was quoted iT-
regularly I'D lower for December and

Duluth reported 1883 cars, against ], 266

the year before. Chicago receipts for
the week were 1885. 3S4 bushels, and she

The general expectation regarding the
visible is that it will show 100000
bushels increase. The decline to S97s
was followed to soc. Covering by shorts
started the recovery and when New
York reported q hperal forein demand
at the decline, the market grew quite
strong temporarily The closing weak
ness of continental markets was the
/ latest influence and rounded I'D the

THE F1NANcTER REPORT.
It Does Not Fear q Stringency in the
Money Market.

New York, Oct 2-The F'inancier
says: The statement of the associated
banks of New York City for the week
ending Oct. is proof that there is no
occasion for the fears entertained early
in the season OF an actual stringency in
the money market. Despite the steady
drain on the banks by reason of the in
terror demand for crop money, the re-
serves are maintained at a secure point
and the natural effect of conditions
which have been making all season may
be trusted to obviate any departure
from this standard in the future. The
liquidation in loans continues, the loss
for the week bringing the total to an
amount of s2.S20,000 under that reported
three weeks ago. In the same time de-
posts have fallen off SIT, SOS, 300 while
the reserve has decreased about $1,000,
600. AS money has been flowing to the
interior at the rate of four or five mill
lion weekly during this time, it will be
seen that the banks have stood the
drain very easily. The demand for
funds still continues, though in lessened
volume than reported for several weeks
past The decrease in deposits for the
past week, of course, lowered the re-
serve requirements appreciably The
81, 100000 gold received from Europe by
one of the banks does not seem to figure
in the current statement. The deposit
changes of the larger banks have been
unusually heavy during the week, the
Institutions having the largest number
of correspondents reporting losses as a
rule, although others which figure in
the call market have been affected by
the general liquidation. The October
settlements have brought about some
shifting of funds, but the disbursements
now being made will be shown to a
greater extent in the next statement.
The Union Pacific foreclosure sale, I'M
der arrangements which have been
completed for payments extending over
a considerable period. will not cause
the contraction first anticipated, and
this assurance, to some extent, gov
erned the rate quotations last week.
The statement as whole is of a very
favorable character and with the GER
tainty that the gold imports will follow
any unexpected advance in money, the
outlook is even brighter than predicted.
Three of the New York banks last week
made their clearing house settlements
in gold, owing to the scarcity Of legal
tenders. 1t would not be strange, in
fact, were the treasury to follow suit in
this particular before the close of the
year.

U. P. FORECLOSURE.
Preparations For the Transfer of the
Property.


Washington, Oct 2-EX- Governor
Hoadley. counsel for the United States
in the matter of the Union Pacific fore
closure sale. spent several hours today
in conference with Attorney General
Mckenna arranging the details of the
sale on Nov. l, and the subsequent
transfer of the governments interest in
the property to the highest bidder.
Both the attorney general and Mr..
hoadley were reticent regarding what
further concession had been made by
the reorganization committee, but ii is
understood from Trustworthy sources
that the committee has acceded to the
governments contention that its lien
on tine Union Pacific road ancludes the
Omaha bridge, and that 1T has increased
its cash bid 50 as 10 make the entire
concession approximately s., 100000. This
would make cheir guarantee offer for
the porpeTty, including the sinking fund
NOW in the treasury, about $40, 900 900.
so far as can be learned the reorganiza-
ton committee viii be the only bidder
at me sale, ard in add probability the
transfer VIII De consumnated by the
payment Of the purchase price by De-
ceInher l, or very soon thereafter
Treasury officials recognize the fact
THAT the withdrawal from circulation of
S45 900, 900 in cash at one time might
have a very serious effect in the money
market, and in consequence are devils
ing a plan by which the force of the
shock may be reduced to the minimum
No determination Of the QUESTION mas
yet been reached. but ii seems prob
able that at least $50, 600 600 of the
amount may be placed on deposit with
government depository banks until Jan.
l, when it win be needed for the re-
dsmpti0n of the per cent subsidy
bonds maturing ON that date. The re-
Enainder Of the purchase money, it IS
thought, may be safely transferred TO
the treasury.
Governor Hoadley expected to return
TO New York this afternoon.

London Wool.

London, Oct, AT the wool auction

1t is understood that the directors of
the Union Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line, yesterday engaged in an
other effort to arrive at an understand
ing in the matter Of the trouble which
are now agitating both roads IN the
matter Of TRAGIC agreements. Up to
-lst evening nothing had been heard
which would justify a belief that they
were any nearer settlement o. be-
and affairs will be carri~- i as
l--ey are until later.
Business on the Union Paciti Ter
day from this CITY eastward was .-9t as
heavy as could be wished, still a, num-
her of tickets were sold at the ticket
office here for the east via the Ogden
line, local tickets being procured here
for Ogden. II is not thought a graf
deal Of freight VIII go that way, how
ever. still there may. Merchants here
are beginning to wonder if they viii
be shut out of Wyoming territory by
the addition of local rates from this
city there and in ali probability Choate
VIII answer d few questions tomorrow
relating to that portion of the bust
less. *;
The overland limited came in yes
terday for the last time, until change
is made. lit viii not come down from
Ogden today as it has heretofore done
and passengers from the east Will
transfer at Ogden for this city.
There was a slight increase in pas
senger business over the Rio Gra1de
Western, several passengers buying
s5ckets who have heretofore gone east
via the Union Pacific.
In the matter Of cattle shipments the
dearth of cars still continues. There
are orders in now for a great many
cars Of sheep and cattle, and it IS be-
lieved 1000 could be used to good ad-
vanTage on the Short Line and the
Western and connections. As fast as
possible the eastern connections are
sending their cars westward, but the
movement Of stock all over the country
is heaVy and the numbers received here
are not at all adequate. The Union
Pacific is shy, too. judging from the
manner in which buckingham is wiz
ing these days. Buck sends out some
very enthusiastic kilograms once in a
while and Of late his English is of such
a vigorous character as to make the
wires not.
The restraining order against the sale
of the Union Pacific, alluded to in a
special from Omaha in yesterdays
Herald, is not regarded seriously mere.
II is believed that it will not prevent
the sale of the road, but that some ar
engagements with be made by which
the business of the disposal viii be
carried out all right.

1MPoRTANT QUESTION.
Right of Municipal Corporations to
Tax Street Car Companies.


Tax Street Car Companies.
Chicago. Oct. president C. c. Bon
ney Of the Chicago General Railway
company. acting IN the interests of the
Yerkes line and Chicago City Railway
company, has flied a brief in the su-
prene court OF Illinois in which he at
tacks the right Of a city or other NUM-
cipal corporation 10 demand any com
pensation more than a license on the
cars run from a street car company in
consideration Of being allowed the use
of the public streets.
The brief was filed in the appeal of
the Chicago General company from the
suit of the city in which the latter seeks
to collect the $500 a mile compensation
which is agreed upon in the former 5
franchise. Its scope is much wider than
this, however, as the principle set up is
that the city cannot demand such COM
pensatiOn in any case.
If the supreme court should sustain
Mr.. Bonney's position, its decision
would apply TO the ordinances extend
ing the existing street car franchises
under the Allen law when they are in
troduced in the city council, as they
soon VIII be. Mr.. Bonney's argument
applies TO gas. telephone and other
franchises, as well as those of street
car cOmpauieg

Last night man rushed into the
police station and reported that his
team was stalled on bridge at Ninth
South and Main streets. He said he
had driven onto the bridge in the dark
and did not see that it was only par
TALLY completed. The horses came to
a wide gap in the bridge and jumped
over it and the wagon was jerl1ed into
the chasm This brought the journey TO
a sudden stop and left the team fast
on The bridge. The hole in the bridge
was Just large enough 10 ALLOW the
wheels to sink half way into it.
