Their Trouble eliminates in a
Cancellation of Traffic.

PORTLAND Sept. 1.-THE contro-
versy about divisions between the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line companies which caused the
opening Of the ogden gateway and the
establishment of through rates and
train service in connection with the
Colorado lines, eliminated to-day in

the Union Pacific. The cancellation
takes effect September Dist.
The Oregon Short Line was formerly
part of the Union Pacific system, and
when reorganized and placed under an
Independent management the Union
Pacific refused to allow the divisions
formerly in effect, thus obliging the
Short Line to form through routes via
the Rio Grande Western and its con-
nectiOns, which lines agreed to pay to
the Oregon Short Line the proportions
formerly allowed that company by the
Union Pacific, and now the tariffs on
Oregon business are cancelled because
the Union Pacific refused to allow the

pany the same proportions the naViga-
ton company gets on similar business
by their several other conencting
through lines, viz: Via Spokane and
the Great Northern, via Ogden and the
Rio Grande lines, and via the North

1t is claimed by shippers that this
action will make little change in the
handling of the freight business. be-
cause the Union Pacific for several
months past has Disseminated against
the Oregon lines by turning over their
Portland business to the Southern Pa

WHEAT MARKET WEAK.
Decidedly Off Color Yesterday on
the Chicago Exchange.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-No matter
what the complexion of a Government
crop report may be, the wheat mar
ket was no exception. Wheat started
at a decline of 15@34c, and with the
exception of two or three short spasms
Of strength, the market was decidedly
off color all day.
The market was Influenced more by
what was learned yesterday OF the
growing weakness, the most desirable
shipping grade of winter wheat, No. 2
Karsas hard, and a. decline Of 3sq1d
at Liverpool, than by the Government
estimate of the crop. The Government
estimate, 464,000,000 bushels, was
rather small in itself, but the trade IN
orally believed in a yield 100000, 900
bushels larger than that. The weeks

Chicago received to-day 265 cars,

and Duluth got 759 cars, against 480
Saturday last, and ZIG cars a year
ago Temporary firmness was given
to the market at about the price trad
ing commenced at when the export
clearances began to be known. and it
was found that the shipments Of wheat
from Philadelphia were 105, 900 bushels,
and from New Orleans 326, 900 bushels.
following that temporary encourage
ment, the first reasons for weakness re-
turned with doubled strength and a
much more material decline took place
The total c1earances Of wheat and
flour from Atlantic ports for the week
amounted to 800 900 bushels, but that
did not further interfere with the weak
ness with which the market had in the
meantime become badly afflicted. At
ter fuctuating for a short time around
the lower edge Of the opening range, 1t
gradually increased in heaviness until
about half an hour from the end of the
session, when it had got down to 96.
The weakest phase Of the market was
in the last ten minutes of the session,
by which time the general crowd had
gained the courage of their convictions,
ana no longer feared to sell the wheat
they considered much too high. They
battered the price down to 9515, even
to $685. for some Of it, but not wishing
to go home short, some buying of that
