Peculiar Special Commodity Tariffs
Filed Which Are Surprise.

Olympia, Wash, Oct. 24.-The
Northern Pacific has filed with the
railway commission special commodi-
ty tariffs effective October 90, which
seem most peculiar to the commits
sion. These tariffs cover fresh fruit,
vegetables, butter, eggs, cheese and
hops. one is between Tacoma and
Seattle and all stations in the state,
and this announces it is in accord
ance with the maximum law of the
legislature of 1883, which the Attorney
General has held was repealed by the
commission law.
Another is a distance tariff between
stations west of Auburn and Cascade
Junction. Another is distance tariff
between stations east of Auburn and
Cascade, and the last is from Spokane
to certain stations named in the Spo-
kane territory, and the rates only ap-
ply out of Spokane.

Negotiations of French Lean bills In

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The stock market
was weak for an hour and then strong for
an hour today and closed firm al the re-
the market and was the only stock TO move
either way with any Vtgor. The early sell
ing Of this stock was plainly due 10 large
extent to the taking of prohts IN yester-
days business The whole market was al
tected by sympathy. There was some pro-
fessionai selling, also caused by fears OF a
weak bank statement, owing to the week
large indicated outgo Of cash and the prob
ability that credit accounts had also been
extended during the week 90,
The bank statement verified the most ub-
eral estimates of the loss Of cash during

during the week, it was again kept out OF

Elements and the process of transferring
loans from the London market TO the New
York market which has been going on dur
ing the week. There Is nothing to snow
what was the source of the relief for the
banks from the Increased loan require
ments. II is assumed that the trust COM
panies and private banking houses took
their share Of the burden. In addition to
this II Is known that French loan bills have
been negotiated In this market during the
week. Gables from Paris report good
deal OF dissatisfaction there with this de-
velopment and discrimination by the Bank
OF France against American finance bills in
an effort to check it, But with the money
rate in Paris but slightly above 3 per cent,
the attraction Of the profitable rate for time
loans hare apparently proves stronger than
the obstacles offered by the central bank
ing institution. 1t is this condition which
has given rise to rumOrs OF an intended
