No Cars to Move Stock

Denver, Oct 4-The demand for stock
cars with which to move livestock from
the present scanty ranges of the west to
points where feed can be had for the
winter has created a condition in the
livestock markets of the west never be-
fore known and one that is causing
great loss and inconvenience to stock
owners. In Denver the market has been
almost paralyzed by the inability of
the railroads to supply cars to take care
of the business done and prices have
been steadily declining principally be-
cause of the same reason.

AROUND
THE
CORNER.

A party was sitting around table in
the Commercial yesterday, drinkink cof-
fee and talking. The coffee feature is a
new one, but it happens to be true this
time. The conversation turned on trusts
and Eg deals generally.
Speaking of corners said a man who
is now lawyer, some years ago tried
to corner the onion market I was living
in New Orleans, where onions are popular
for soups, salads, and the like. 1 had
$1,000 and a friend of mine, with about
the same amount suggested the idea of
buying up all the onions in sight, and
holding them for q rise. I was entirely
green in the commission business, and
didn't know thing about onions, but
the proposition seemed good. and we
bought up everything we could get. We
rented warehouse and stored the onions
away on the floors. In less than month
the price of onions advanced to such
point that we decided that the time was
ripe to unload at the fancy price. We
went to our warehouse to inspect the
stock, and the first room we struck
looked like a green wheat field in early
spring. Every last onion in the lot had
sprouted, and we had to get a scythe and
lawn mower to cut path through the
rooms. l used to hate the. odor of
onion and it made the tears come to my
eyes, but now every time l see one the
real tears start"

mas been introduced such as the Nantas-
ket branch Of The Old Colony, and the
New Britain section of the New England
In Connecticut, are much shorter than the
portion OF the Northeastern on which the
new traction agent is TO be used. Ac-
cord1ng to the present plan, thirty-five
mics OF double track, four miles of single
track and two miles of four-track line
OF that system are to be adapted to the
use or the new motive power. Nowhere
IN the world 's;As a greater mileage OF

In its invitation for bids the Northeast

nlshed at a pressure of 5000 volts. by the
NeWcastle-upon-Tyhe Electric Supply
Company, Limited; and it is required that
the voltage be reduced to $50 for actual
USE The particular mechanism for the re-
duction is optional. Several other import
ant details are also left to the contractor.
A preference is expressed for conversion
into direct current, but even this is not
insisted upon. The way is thus left open
for the introduction Of some one of the
alternating current traction systems
which are now attracting attention. When
he time limit for the presenta ton Of
bids expires, as it is expected to do on
October 18th, the company may call in
special advisers to assist it in reaching a
final decision. Perhaps the managers ex-
pect the bidders to wage a campaign of
education after the latter file their papers.
But whatever be the true explanation OF
the policy pursued It was a wise plan to
allow good deal of latitude in the pro-
posa1s for what is really a pioneer enter
prise.
