RAILROADS HOLD OUT.
Tncy Make But Little Concession to 'fa"a
Army and Christian Endeavortrs.

Chicago, April 25.-The Western roads
held meeting, Friday. TO considtr li.ls ohiIs-
tian Endeavor rates. They did hot coIle
to any decision regarding them, put re-
ferred the whole matter TO the executive {
committed The proposition which seemed
most favorable was that "A one-Way Iate

be made in both directions VIA the MISS
ouri river and the one-Way rate III eacf
direction via St. Paul and Portland pe
s32 So The reference of the matter TO the

agreed upon a one-way rate for the round
trip to the eastern gateways OF the West-

Army men. and General Clarson as COM
mander- in-chief. asked the Western reads
to reconsider the rates and make one
cent per mile rate.
The Western roads had this request
under consideration, Friday. They refused
to make lower rate than one-way rate
and the only concession they would make
in their former arrangements was to
grant an extension return tickets to the
same basis as has been adopted by the

BRADSTREEIS' REPORT.
All Changes. Though Slight. Are in The Line
Of Improvement

New York April 25.-Bradstreets Sat
urday, said: The change in condi-
tons underlying general trade, while
slight, this week, has been in the direc-
ton of improvement. The depression in
iron and steel continues. and hessemer
pig and steel billets have reacted another
% cents a ton. The outlook favors AN
increase in labor disturbances to resist
midsummer wage reductions. Trade in
wool is quieter. There is less life in the
wholesale dry goods trade. and little re-
lief has been experienced Recent ad-
ydnces in woolenS are sustained by an
ticipated early fall demand, and makers
of shoes report fair orders.
The total bank clearings for the past
six days is 1894, ,0oo.o or 2.5 per cent. less
than last week, and per cent. less than
in the third week of April, 1896.
The price movement is practically
downward, with the exception of the lead
ing cereals, influenced more particularly
by the advance in wheat due to the war
scare abroad and prospective scarcity, in
the face of Il full average demand prior
flour, Indian corn and oats thus show
gains compared with a week ago Cotton
and print cloths are unchanged. as are
coffee and petroleum. In addition to de-
creaseS in prices for beSsemer pig and
