General and Personal Notes.

Oficials of the larger systems or
roads are wondering how they are TO han
die the traffic OF the present fall. The i'm
mense corn crop has not yet begun to move,
except In small quantities. The present
business Is ia king the roads to their fullest
car and power capacity, Notwithstanding the
fact that large additions have been made
in cars and locomotives during the last
year. The roads will undoubtedly be con-
fronted with a great shortage of cars. The
lines are much better prepared to handle
the immense traffic this year than they
were last, and enforcement Of the per
diem rule will also help materially, but
the movement Of the grain crop, with the
unusually heavy traffic in general mer-
chandise, east and west and north and
south, will tax the carrying capacity OF
the roads to an extent never before known.
1t should be borne in mind that In the
last two busy years locomotives and cars
were run day and night. and naturally are
considerably worn and unfit to haul their
allotted capacity. There is another phase
Of the situation which causes considerable
anxiety. The anthracite coal strike has
made II impossible for those who depend
upon this for fuel to lay In their usual
supply, and were the strike ended to-day
people in the West and Northwest would
have to use Ohio, Indiana and Illinois coal,
which will greatly increase the business OF
the roads. Already the coal lines are short
of coal cars, and the pressure for coal Will
force the roads to impress into coal service
box cars. which will affect other lines OF
traffic.

market evidencing a tendency to advance
In canned goods there is a stronger reehns'
while the range of quotations has not
changed for several days. Dried fruits are
steady Seed merchants report business I'M
proving with a somewhat easier tone TO
prices. White potatoes and Jersey sweets
are lower. with larger receipts. while apples
remain unchanged. Fresh tomatoes nave
advanced. offerings getting less In guam
tity as the season grows older. Peaches
have been received with some freedom, but
the demand has been SO quick and steady
that stocks have had no chance to accumu-
late, and prices are firm. 1t II q high sea-
son for peaches, owing to the fact tnat In
nearly every growing section but Michigan
the yields were very light. amounting 10 al
most nothing in some places, where large
crops are the rule. Watermelons and canta-
loupes are cheaper. with supplies plentiIui.
Grapes come in but slowly, not nearly aver
age shipments being received and hgner
prices are prevailing than during last sea-
son. Damson plums are still In the market,
but are in scant supply, and prices are
high. The butter situation is In firm tone,
cling to high figures, with receipts light

Judge Burroughs, OF Edwardsville, sit
ting on the bench Of the Bond County ulli-
nois) Circuit Court has entered a decree ap-
pointing H. C. Begole. of Belleville, receiver
of the property of the Vandalia Railroad.
The receiver has qualified and the court has
issued an order authorizing him to bring

Company, which became majority stock
holders by purchase, "defrauded and plum

ship.
John @. Williams, general solicitor of the
Vandalia, states that the suit was original

authorized the appointment of a receiver;
the company took an appeal to the Fourth
District Appellate Court of Illinois. which
decided that a receiver might be appointed,
and instructions were so modified that,
court and there the matter has stood until
recently. Mr.. Williams says there Is no
basis for such action and he has no anxiety
