LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
BUSINESS UP TO THE USUAL STAND
ARD OF FALL VOLUME.
Prices Steady and Firm, with Several
Points of Real StrenEth-Grain
Markets Are Somewhat Lighter.

Fall trade is now nearing it's usual vol
ume and with this prices are carrying a
firm tone as rule. On Commission row
there are some articles that are quoted low,
Irish and sweet potatoes. onions and cab
bage all being sold at lower prices than at
the corresponding period of last year. APP
piles and other fruits are in good supply
and selling at about the same figures as
last year. In produce strong prices are the
feature and indications are that the high
est figures have not yet been reached, as
receipts are light and demand is large for
all. Flour is moving quite freely at about
the same prices as have prevailed for some
weeks. The hide market is steady and con-
siderable is doing. Leather is active and
prices are firmer, but practically no higher.
Trade with the confectionery houses is i'm
proving and indications are for a large fall
business. The iron and hardware stores are
very busy, their trade the entire year
having been very satisfactory. Wholesale
grocers report trade in excess of Sep
TENDER Of last year and prices on most
articles are very firm, with indications
pointing to an advance In sugars, conees,
salt fish and canned goods. Other lines Of
trade present no new features.

TAFT's SPEECH TO FILIPINOS.
He Urges Them to he industrious and
Avoid Politics.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The bureau of
insular affairs to-day furnished the press
copies of the speech made by Governor
Taft on the occasion of the reception tend
cred him when he arrived In the Philip
pines In the course of the speech Governor
Taft said:
You can be very sure that 1t will be only
a matter of year or two before the Amer
lean duty on Philippine products will be
reduced to so small a figure as to make
it practically free trade. Delays in con-
gressional action on the tariff and post
ponement of the time for popular assem-
bly, are only the outgrowth of a conser-
vatism due to a doubt on the part of many
as to the real conditions in the islands, a
doubt, / may say, which nothing will so
quickly dispel as quiet prosecution of
agriculture and other pursuits and an
avoidance of useless political agitation for
the next year.
The rest of the speech was devoted to a
review of the negotiations with the Vat
lean, as published in full heretofore and it
concludes as follows:
ut will thus be seen that the negotia-
tions upon many of the issues are only be-
gun, though the sale of the lands has been
approved, and that the question of the re-
turn of the friars to the parishes is COM
pletely in the hands of the people of each
parish for settlement by quiet, peace
able and lawful expression of their desire
to receive or not to receive any priest"

IL was stated at the Treasury Depart

that date permitted such action up to their
par value when deposited as security.

The report of the Hooking Valley road.
submitted to its stockholders by President
Monsarrat, is certainly a creditable one.
This road was sold at foreclosure, Feb 25,
1899. and since that time has been lifted
from state of bankruptcy to be one of
the foremost local roads of the country.
President Monsarrat reports having been
able to operate the road on a little over
60 per cent of the gross receipts. Some
roads have done this, but have made lib
eral charges to capital account, by which
the burden has been lifted from the
operating expense account. Instead of
having no charges of this sort to the
operating expenses. the balance sheets
show that ten freight. five switching en-
glnes, and seventy-five steel cars were
added to that account, besides track re-
newals, necessitating the laying of App
tons of steel rails, and numerous renewals
to equipment of every sort. Some roads
might have charged into operating ex-
cities and repair shops, but most lines
consider these to be additions warranted
in the capital account column. The fact
that 81, 638, 60O.29 was added to capital ac-
count for such improvements, in which is
included the purchase of land double
tracking and additional sidings, and the
like, does not detract from the record
made by those who operated the road by
reducing the operating expense to so per
cent. Although the road Is so recently out
of the hands of the court, ii has paid dur
ing the past year two semi-annual divi-
dends of per cent. on $l4.000,000 of pre-
ferred stock. and two dividends of IL per
625. The total outlay for dividends amount
ed to 1872 GAS 81

JESSESTREIT'S LANGUAGE
WITNESSES ALLEGE THAT HE DE-
FAMED THE PRESIDENT.
Explanation Made by the Bicycle Pa
trOlman-Call for Council Meet
ine-City Affairs.

The Board of Public Safety yesterday
heard testimony as TO charges against
Jesse STREET., a bicycle patrolman. who is
accused of uttering curses and abusive
words toward President Roosevelt. The
charges were filed by Superintendent Taffe
upon information by witnesses and STREET.
was suspended pending trial. He asked for
a prompt trial and the board arranged to
hold ii at once.
According to witnesses. STREET. is alleged
to have said: the President. I've
missed my dinner and supper and do not
give - If he never gets we'll" Bicycle
Patrolmen Losh, Trimpe and Hey Lowe
testified to this language. Lowe said he
did not hear STREET. mention the President,
but Losh and Trimpe said they did.
STREET. explained to the board that he had
been on duty without relief even to eat all
day and that his supper time had passed
He said the three patrolmen and w. L.
Long were talking about the Presidents
misfortune. STREET. said he remarked that
he had missed his dinner and would miss
his supper. Some one, he said. had men
toned the name of Patrolman Hull, who
was to relieve him. Hull had been on duty
at st. Vincent's Hospital. STREET. said he
declared. in the heat of temper, that he did
not care if ''he never came back from the
hospital" meaning Hull STREET. admitted
that he had been profane-
The board did not take action, as w. I.
Long and Turnkey John Lowe are to be
heard this morning. The board does not
believe that STREET did more than to talk
ugly while in the heat OF passion. STREET. is
Republican and has been a valued mem
Der of the force for years. The board is
loath to believe that he intended to defame
the President, but could not overlook the
fact that he was seemingly not misunder-
stood by the witnesses. They testified that
after his attention was called to his re-
marks he said, You heard what | said.
The board believes there has been too
much horse play" and violent language
about the police station of late, and after
hearing Streits case the board went over
in body to make 1t plain that misconduct
will not be tolerated. The board expects to
finish Streit's hearing to-day. Strefts ten
years of good service are expected TO pre-
vent his dismissal, though the board re-
CARDS his action, even on his own state
ment, as condemnatory and deserving pun
ishment
The board suspended acting Captain Pat
rick Merrick, of hose company No. H. for
neglecting his fire hose in the dryhouse and
permitting 1t to be burned by gas fire
that came up in the night.

OUTLOOK FOR THEWABASH
PRESIDENT RAMSEY SAYS ITS FU-
TURE Is FULL OF PROMISE.
A Road Brought from Bankruptcy to
Be One of the Most Important
General and Personal Notes.

The figures pertaining to the results of
operating the Wabash in the fiscal year
ending June 30 were published in the Jour-
nal yesterday. In the report there are
comments of interest from President Ram
sey and Chairman Ashley. President Ram
sey calls attention to the fact that the es-
innate of earnings of the company at the
beginning of its fiscal year were exceeded
by 100000, and President Ramsey predicts
gross earnings of more than s2O,0Oo0OO for
the current fiscal year. He places consid-
cradle emphasis on the fact that a large
amount of earnings must continue to be
used for the betterment of the property,
which is to be placed in a position to move
traffic on the most economical basis. All
these Expenditures must be paid out of earn
ings. Contracts have been let for reducing
grades from sixty to twenty-one feet per
mile at five points in the middle division
He also says 81, $50, $50 has been spent for
equipment and Improvement, and that a
large number of such expenditures are still
necessary Chairman Ashley, in speaking
OF the general figures of expenditures above
normal conditions, says they were in part
due 10 general increase In the rates OF
pay and wages of almost every branch OF
the service, and, should there be any check
ings of railroads decrease, without any de-
crease from the present rate of wages and
prices OF material many railroads now
showing fair surplus will find it difficult
to make both ends meet. He adds that
therefore 1t Is wise TO prepare for the day
OF adversely by putting properties in con-
dition that they will meet any depression
of future years without danger. There is
still much to be done in this direction be-
fore the Wabash will be in condition for
such economical operations will enable
II to meet opposition with strong COMPETE
tors. He says new shops are needed. Ex-
cepting the shops at Moberly, the company
has no shops, locomotive or car. worthy
the name. The engine shops at Springfield,
H.. and Fort Wayne, Ind, and the car
shops at Decatur and Toledo are no
larger than they were thirty years ago.
The machinery is old and incapable of
doing the heavy work on the large engines
now in use. He concludes his statement
by saying that the large increase in both
freight and passenger earnings in the last
few years-it being much larger compare
lively than that of other roads in Wabash
territory-proves the wisdom Of the policy
of the directors and management in i'm
provements made thus far.
