Looking Up Our Bonds.

AS a result of short dispatch in
the Kansas City Journal recently
from Independence which states that
the Cotfeyville electric light bonds
have been knocked out by technicali-
ty the city attorney and clerk of lola
are today carefully sitting the ques-
ton of the standing of Iola's recent
issue of $50, 900 in bonds for electric
lights and water works. The result
will be awaited with interest.
The dispatch reads as follows:
Independence, Kas June l5-Judge Skid
more of the district court today made
permanent the temporary Injunction that he
granted some time ago restraining the city
OF Coneyville from issuing the sl7 600 bonds
that were voted at special election held at
that place about year ago The ground for
his decision was technically, II being
claimed that the mayor called the election for
the purpose of voting bonds without any
ordinance or resolution from the city council
authorizing the election.

Wheat Declined sharply, But Rallied
Some Toward the Close.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-Wheat opened lower

The Price Current" noted good crop con-
ditions. There we're 60.ooo bushels of
cash wheat taken here. The sesboard re-
ported twenty-five loads.
Corn at one time showed loss from
Wednesday of Csc. There were renewals
from Washington OF the claim that there
would be Government report before the
close OF the week The denials on this
point have been specific and apparently
authoritative. and yet the rumor Of re-
port has been SO persistent today and from
such food source that 1t has certainly
had an effect on the market. There was
some recovery from the bottom. The last
prices were only 1-SG1-4c under Wednes-
day. Liverpool was 1-Sd lower
There was no change in the oats expe
rIence, hardly any fluctuations and moth
ing more important TO the market than
scalping. Receipts today were III cars,
with 1870 for tomorrow. Seaboard clear
ances were only 1900 bushels.
Provisions showed little strength early
on the moderate hog movement, but prices
soon yielded under free realizing sales
and offerings from Western packer.
There was a good commission house de-
mand for pork large local packer

bring this party OF railroad men together
TO confer regarding matters of legislation
at the National and State capitals. Gil
gantic combinations of traffic system are
in the very air, as readers of the news
papers are well aware. The union of
three systems into a smooth running COM
bine is regarded in financial circles as
only the beginning. the end of which in
the understanding and mutual helpfulness
Of transportation companies cannot now
be foreseen.
Hence, it is believed by those whose
sources of information are trustworthy
that the gathering in Mr.. Davis home
last night was an informal conference of
railroad presidents. legislators, and in
vestors 10 discuss matters relating TO
prospective legislation in Congress and il,
the capitals of various States. II is not
assumed that elaborate plans were mapped
out or that any official or necessarily con-
certed action was agreed upon.
At all events the dinner at Mr..
Davis home last night is invested with
more than usual interest. 1t was to all
intents and purposes a meeting TO cele-
brate the most significant combination of
railway interests ever consummated, and
conference to bring about an exchange OF
opinion on the best course to pursue for
the future
