Yates made a mental note that there

StagnatiOn In Grain Movement

News About Railroad Men an

There Is a stagnation in the move
ment of wheat by the railroads that
was not expected to appear for some
considerable time to come. When the
movement assumed such weighty pro-
portions the latter part of August there
was no thought of a break before No
vember, at the earliest In the last ten
days there has been a decided change
in the outlook.
In the towns Of the western part of
the state the grain elevators are said
to be practically empty. This is taken
as an indication that a decline in price
is looked for. Wellington is pointed out
as a milling town where this surprising
condition of things exists. Spectators
are not buying as heavily as they did
some time ago, either, which is also con-
sidered a reactionary tendency. If the
break comes, as anticipated, their
shrewdness will have it's reward in fur
nishing opportunity to fill up again.
The same observer who finds this con-
ditiOn Of things in the western part of
the state, realizes also that the wheat
producer is able to and is holding his
grain back. In his opinion not more
than one-third of the crop has come out
yet.
In contrast with the car famine that
was experienced by the railroads when
the movement first started, they are now
remarking dullness.
Santa Fe receipts at Kansas City for
the past ten days have shown the fall
ing off in movement Of the crop by a
decrease that is all the more noticeable

Negotiations for the purchase of the
Creve Occur line are on foot by the
Wabash and Missouri Pacific jointly.
The syndicate which purchased this pro-
perty, extending from St. Louis to I'm
ION, Mo, SO miles, and after acquiring
the Santa Fe's bonded interest took it
out of the hands of the federal court
stopped work on the extensions it had
IN progress several days since. The St
Louis end of the line is valuable to the
Wabash and the west end would be
quite valuable to the Missouri Pacific
as an additional track for heavy traffic
and as affording a cutoff avoiding a
steep grade at Labadie. Besides it was

pany, and it was generally believed that
the work of extension to some point in
Kansas or to Kansas City or Sedalia
would proceed without delay.

Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. s.-Senator w.
A Clark of Montana, arrived here from
the east yesterday and spent part of the
day in conference with the promoters of
the proposed railway between this city
and Los Angeles He was entertained
at a banquet at the Alta club this even
ing and will leave for Butte at 1850 to-
night.
Before leaving Mr.. Clark addressed
the following letter to the mayor and
city council:
Gentlemen As has heretofore been
stated to you, myself and associates are
engaged in an enterprise, having for its
ultimate result the establishment of a
line of railway between the city of Los
Angeles. Cal, and Salt Lake City,
Utah.
In that connection permit me to say
to your honorable body that we feel
that the organization of our corporation
and it's achievement of the intended re-
suit will be very much facilitated by the
granting by you, of Pioneer Square in
your city for use by our corporation as
station grounds, in accordance with the
petition heretofore presented to your
honorable body by Mr.. Gibbon."
