A NER SHORTHAND CHARACTER.

The invention of the method of writ
ing by signs. called shorthand, has
served the grand and useful purpose
for which it was intended. The STAN
pede made by business men to crowd
the greatest amount of work into the
smallest space of time, thereby realiz-
ing greater attachments, has given
birth to time-saving devices of many
kinds, but not the least of these is the
shorthand alphabet. There are many
different systems but even those which
were supposed to have been perfect a
few years ago are being improved and
characters are changed to include more
in their meaning. The letter d has
been adopted recently by many steno-
graphers to signify anything perfect
1t has been found that the letter d
stands for Douglas-the inventor of the
Douglas Patent Closet, guaranteed
against leakage and the annoyance of
running water. Bath, the plumber, in

Pleased with the Prospect.

A Vanderbilt official who recently passed
over those lines takes a rosy view of the
outlook and present conditions of the roads,
including the Big Four. Speaking of In
diana, he said: when people first pro-
posed manufacturing tin in Indiana and
Illinois the public laughed at the idea. Able
economic writer's pointed out the futility
Of competition with Great Britain in Great
Britains speciality. That was only a few
years ago, but Indiana and Illinois are
still making tin by the thousand tons, and
the towns where it is made are among the
best in their respective States.
The same Is true of the glass industry
of Indiana. The thousands of tons of glass
manufactured In these centers Of the bust
ness are so many thousand tons of paying
freight manufactured for the railroads out
OF nothing. The people who started the in
dustry never thought that the infant bust
ness would grow into a tremendous in
dustry employing a thousand men to every
one originally employed. Such is the case
at present Passenger business on all our
lines in August compared very we'll with
even the extraordinary traffic of Pan-Amer-
lean year. 1t was carried, of course, at
much better rates. There has been some
talk of "a falling off in tourist traffic this
summer, but we have not seen it, Possibly
there were not so many trips to Newport
from Wall street, but 1 can testify that
there have been quite as many trips to
Niagara Falls and the mountains as in the
past. Whatever may have been the effect
of conditions In Wall street they have not
curtaied the ordinary movements of ordi-
nary men.
Express receipts on Vanderbilt lines will
show very good percentage of increase
this year, partly on account of increased
volume OF business, but primarily because
the railroads are getting better proportion
of receipts from this business than form
erly. OF course, New York Central holds
a great deal of American Express stock,
but our allowance from United States Ex-
press is also increased"

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
MERCHANTS HAD A GOOD WEEK in
NEARLY ALL LINES.
Outside Buyers Were Numerous and
Bought LiberaIly-Prices Steady to
Firm-Light Grain Markets.

The week ended Saturday, with a majority
of the merchants, has been very busy. The
state fair brought many merchants to the
city to visit the fair and purchase goods,
and, fortunately for the local dealers, there
were one or two days too disagreeable to
be at the fair. which time was improved
by the country merchants in visiting the
wholesale houses looking over stocks and
talking over. business in a general way.
That both the wholesale and retail mer-
chants profited by such conferences was
quite apparent. Many of the outside mer-
chants are not aware of the immensely of
some of the dry goods houses, groceries.
drug and confectionery entrepots in this
city. There are but very few points which
have larger stores or more of them, and
Indianapolis merchants pride themselves in
the fact that they carry the best lines of
goods and sell them at prices which defy
competition. The dry goods houses had a
fine run of trade, as did the millinery
houses and boot and shoe merchants. The
confectioners seldom sell more goods In a
week than they did in the week ended Sept
10, and the same remark will apply to the
druggists. who are carrying a more ex-
tended line of goods than in any former
year. The hardware houses and iron stores
also enjoyed a big trade, and prices in this
line have fluctuated so little of late that
merchants were free buyers. Commission
houses had a busy week. Home consump-
ton OF eatables was large, and there is a
good demand for apples, potatoes cabbage
and like articles. Butter and cheese are
holding their own at prices ruling through
the entire week. Eggs are firm at the re-
cent 2-cent advance, and reports from coun-
try shippers are to the effect that eggs are
very scarce and probably will be higher be-
fore long. Poultry is steady at the re-
vision of Thursday, demand and supply be-
ing fairly well balanced. Coffee is stronger
in primary markets, but the advance is not
yet affecting roasted grades Sugars show
but little change, which is a disappointment
to refiners who claim to have had a poor
season, with demand much lighter than ex-
pected. The seed market shows some ac-
tivity The only change Of late was in
clover seed, which rules easier.

TONNAGE is STILL HEAVY
NEARLY $4,000 LOADED CARS HAM
DIED By LOCAL LINES LAST WEEK.
President Underwood Denies that He
Is to Leave the Erie-Genera1 and
Personal Railway News.

The train records show that there is still
a large volume of freight business. with no
indications of falling off in the near
future, but rather increase, which will
more or less congest the movement as
every car and locomotive is now in service
and good are weather conditions that
trains are carrying fully 30 per cent. more
than in any former year. This is the record
on some lines, due to the use of heavier
locomotives. cutting down grades and elm
mating curves, making track conditions
excellent. East-bound, while there is less
grain going forward, in other lines Of
freight, such as dressed meats, provisions,
starch, hides. etc, the movement is very
heavy, more than offsetting the falling off
in grain shipments. In fact, the roads have
all the east-bound tonnage they well
move while west-bound the loaded car
movement is large beyond precedent, being
considerable in excess of the east-bound
business. The west-bound business is in
dry goods, heavy groceries, products of
Eastern steel and iron mills and anthra-
cite coal, shipments of the latter having in
creased the last few days owing to the
sudden cool weather. Local traffic is just
now showing the best results. Manufacture
ers in Central Traffic Association territory
are very busy and all heavy shippers of the
line of goods they manufacture. Merchants
in all lines are doing unusually large
business for September and 1t increases
seemingly with each week until, in order
TO secure cars, they are placing their re-
quests Tor cars several days in advance that
the road may have time to secure them.
Coal traffic is at its beSt-Ohio, Indiana
