TRADE CONDITIONS
ARE SATISFACTORY
Improvement of Collections In
:. the. West and Northwest is
q a Notable Feature.

NEW YORK, Oct 2-Bradstreet's
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: Mixed trade and crop conditions
stfA present themselves, although some
improvement in tone is noted where
crop estimates, as in the case of corn,
show expansion. Lower prices for
cereals point the way for future large
business and induce larger foreign
interest in our farm products. Trade
reports vary with sections considered,
the best reports coming from the
Southwest, the Northwest and the Pa
cffic coast. Spotted trade reports come
from sections of the middle West.
From the South the reports are in the
main favorable as to trade and col
lections, but crop deterioration is wide
spread in the lower Mississippi valley.
Failing prices for cotton, though a
hopeful sign for our export trade and
domestic manufacturers, cannot excite
lively satisfaction among producers.
Among the great industries, iron and
steel show the effect of threatened
overproduction in proposals for a 20
per cent reduction of Northern fur
mace output, rumors of like action by
Southern producers and quiet demand
for finished products. Lumber is show
ing seasonable quieting down, and
some weakness in white pine is noted
at the West, though, aside from lead
Ing centers, the building trades are
still active. The shoe manufacturing
trade has been and is doing a good
business. and Eastern shipments are
still ahead of last year, though the
margin of gains tends to lessen.
A really favorable features this week
is the improvement of collections West
and Northwest, the reflection of the
beginning of the movement Of delayed
crops to market.
Wheat, including flour, exports for

stockholders of the Consolidated Lake
Superior company, was issued TODAY by
John G. Carruth, receiver:
The sale of the property of the
company pledged with Speyer & Co..
of New York, for the loan of $3.50. .OO0
was to take place today, but, upon ur-'
gent request, has been postponed until
Oct. 8. 1t is necessary that $3.50, 900
should be Immediately paid into the
EQUITABLE Trust company, of PhiIa-
delphia, which will, upon proper vouch-
ers, liquidate Indebtedness of the Con-
solidated Lake Superior company or
subsidiary companies. The payment
of this sum will insure the further
poStponement of the sale for a period
sufficient to enable the stockholders to
accomplish reorganization, If they act
promptly and favorably by making this
payment and providing for necessary
expenses. 1t is imperative that the
stockholders should pay on or before
Oct. 6 to the Equitable Trust company
an assessment of SO cents a share. Ev-
cry effort has been made to prevent,
the sale, and the stockholders are now
asked, In their own interest, to prevent
the absolute and irretrievable loss Of
their entire property. The amount
paid will be upon the assumption of
the adoption Of the following plan of
reorganization, which, it is believed,
has been generally approved:
ITO be raised by means Of an un-
derwriting, open to all stockholders,
So, 600, 900. This sum will repay the

is proposed, shall be issued by the Al
gonna Central & Hudson Bay Railway
company, to be secured also by deposit
Of the stocks and bonds of all the
subsidiary companies.
The unused $2,S57, 600, of such
bonds to remain in the treasury for the
future use of the company. The bonds
taken by underwriters are to be Of
fered to all the stockholders at TO- with
a stock bonus of 30 per cent. Stock in
the new company will be offered. to
each stockholder upon making cash
payment at reasonable times of $3 per
share for old stock surrendered to the
underwriters. One share of stock in
the new company will be given for
two shares of preferred stock of the
old company and one share of new
stock for four shares of common stock
of the old company"

OLD RATE WILL
REMAIN IN FORCE
Passenger Officials Admit That
Restoration Order Will Be
Withdrawn.

]. P. Elmer, general passenger agent
for the Chicago Great Western, and
General Passenger Agent Pond, of the
Wisconsin Central, yesterday have Vir-
tually admitted that their lines will not
restore the old $11.50 rate between the
Twin Cities and Chicago if the Rock
Island refuses to act in concert with
the other lines.
Both the passenger officials were in
st. Paul yesterday discussing the sit
uation, and while neither would be in
terviewed both confirmed the story
published exclusively in T h e G b e
yesterday, in which it was stated that
the restoration circular issued several
days ago would be Cancelled unless the
Rock Island agreed to withdraw its $8
rate
The Rock Island officials have ap-
parently decided to call the other roads
bluff and maintain it's rate of So. This
action will force the competing lines to
cancel their circular recalling the cheap
rate.
That all the Chicago-St. Paul lines
will follow the action of the Great
Western and Wisconsin Central is Ger
tain. Perfect harmony now exists be-
tween the roads, excepting the Rock
Island, and the plan to coerce the Rock
Island into increasing its rate was
agreed upon at a joint meeting.
Rate Will Remain So.
The plan was to issue che circulars
canceling the $S rate and restoring the
old $11.50 fare. 1t was figured that as
soon as the Rock Island officials saw
that the lines were determined to act
independently they would agree to the
restoration of the old rates, fearing a
rate war in other territory.
But the Rock Island refused to
change its position, and when the
other st. Paul Chicago lines saw that
their plan failed, quick preparation
was made for the withdrawal of the
circular ordering the restoration of the
$11.50 rate. The withdrawal order will
be issued Monday.
A passenger official in discussing the
situation yesterday said: I'VE can't
afford to see the Rock Island get all
the business, and that is virtually what
would happen if we should restore the
$11.5O rate and the Rock Island would
maintain the So fare. For the differ
ence of $3.50 nine out of every ten
passengers would prefer to take long
road to Chicago and save the differ
ence in fares"

The efficiency of the railway as a means
of transportation is improving every year,
and the increased train load which the
improved condition of the railway and
equipment makes possible enables the
company to meet the heavy demands that
are being made for increases in the cost
of all classes of railway service.
The tonnage of revenue freight hauled
during the year increased 2,911, 80 tons,
creased sS,5O6, 217 06, or 12. 1922 per cent.
The number of bushels Of wheat hauled to
Eastern terminals decreased 1886, 1892
bushels, equal to 54,927 tons, and the earn
964 S6. The earnings from iron ore traf-
fic increased $819,5S "a. The increase in
earnings from traffic other than east
bound wheat and iron ore was $3,028,-
592.98. This increase was in general bust
ness and over the entire system except on
the Willmar & Sioux Falls railway, where
there was a decrease of 99,287.04 in
freight earnings, owing to a poor corn
crop.
While the tons hauled increased 81. .9931

rates on grain and grain products from
stations in Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota to Eastern terminals were
reduced an average Of about 10 per cent
While the ton mileage of revenue freight
increased 13. 0592 per cent. the mileage of
loaded freight cars increased but 617T1
per cent, and of freight trains 5.6729 per

an enthusiasm greater than has been

Democrats of this state today nomin-
ated their leaders for the campaign of
1903. The sentiment of the conven-

permanent chairman and in the plat
form adopted, seemed to be a general
condemnation of the policy of the op-

national and state administrations.
The candidates, all of whom were
nominated by acclamation, follow:

SHIPPERS WANT CARS.
Fall Shortage Begins and Commission
Receives Complaints.

Fah shortage Begins and Commission
Receives Complaints.
The usual fall complaints of shortage
of cars are beginning to reach the state
railroad and warehouse commission.
Complaints of a scarcity of cars for
grain have been received from several
points on the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
line, and from the Hastings & Dakota
division of the Milwaukee. So far no
complaints have been received from the
northern part of the state.
The grain is for the most part damp
this year and cannot be stored very long
without suffering considerable damage
The apprehension of this damage may
have led to the complaints as much as the
actual scarcity, for all the lines say they
are better prepared to handle shipments
this fall than ever before. Several COM
plants have also been received from
along the 500 line of scarcity Of cars
for the shipment of cordwood.
