N. Y. CENTRAL LAYING OFF MEN.
Officers Say 1t Is Usual Spring Reduction
Due to Lessened Traffic.

Buffalo. May 22-"The Times" this afternoon
says the heads of the local departments OF the
New York Central lines to-day received a general
order insructing them reduce their payrolls one
third by June l. and Il was roughly estimated that
this would mean least 100000 reduction IN
wages paid out In this CITY alone.
ofncials of the New York Central Railroad said
last night that the usual spring reduction orders
for laying off employees taken during the heavy
winter business had been put into effect on the
road There was no intention OF reducing the
wages OF the men retained. Speaking of the order
sent to Buffalo for reduction of the working force
there an officer of the Central said:
There is nothing unusual about the order. Every
spring send out order TO lay of men, because
OF the usual sackening up OF traffic after the
heavy winter business. With the opening OF the
canals traffic is in some degree diverted and the
railroad company finds itself with more than
IL can use. So far l observe. there has been
no unusual decrease in traffic this spring, No
order has been issued 10 reduce wages How many
men this spring reduction order will affect do
not know The local officials, 10 whom the order
is sent, determine how many excess men they have
over the number required tc handle the business,
and they lay eff those who are not needed

Chicago Prices for Three Deliveries
Mark Ne1c Record.

Chicago. May 22-The wheat market set new
high record for the crop to-day. July advanced
to 81 0224 September 10 81 OLA and December TO
81 052s. The pit was closely packed mass Of
excited brokers, and the volume Of business done
was large. Continued absence of rain in Kan
sas and an advance at Liverpool we're factors In
the higher prices.
The close found prices practically unchanged
from yesterday, but the feeling nervous.
Throughout the session prices nuctuated vio-
lcntly
Wheat in the local market opened strong and
higher Yesterday further bad crop from all
parts OF the belt, and firm cables. Before the
close It had established high record for the
year. the July option going 81 OS7s and September
TO 81 o. The greatest excitement prevailed the ad-
vance being accompanied by violent and spasmodtc
fluctuations. On the whole, the demand ex-
ceed!uEy active, but occasionally holders in
cllned 10 unload. owing to predictions OF rain IN
the Southwest. Heavy profit taking In the forenoon
caused a reaction OF about sc from the top.
Toward noon. however. the market recovered
sharply the strong closing made by the Cont
mental markets, which partly ascribed TO the
weather. especially IN Germany, where there had
been a heavy fall OF snow. There a growing
belief also that Western Europe would be Som-
PEELED 10 buy far freely from this country in
the coming cereal year than II had in the present
year. and the market. being nervous in view OF the
buIllsh character OF the crop news from the West.

In the afternoon the demand became urgent.

pecially from Kansas and Nebraska where the
temperature reported high. with hot winds.
and the crop badly in need OF rain. AS result Of
this bush news prices jumped up In a rather SEN
satonal manner and touched the highest
point OF the day. There was a slight reaction
toward the close, due to profit taking The closing
prices were as follows July, OS; September,
81 0s. and December 81 06A. This sc advance
for July and a &c decline for December. compared
with the closing prices on the preceding day.

CHAIRMAN
 RUTHERFORD
Will Not Call Meeting of the Demo. cratic State Central Committee Before NOYember-No Re- quests For Meeting at
 This Time.

Politics was making at the Marion last night. says yesterdays Little Rock Gazette. There was ]. r. Ruth erford from Pine Bluff Robert " Me Farlane of Greenwood and President J. H. Hinemon of Henderson College. Philadelphia. All talked politics pri vately, but when it came for publica- tion it was early Yet.
 There will be no meeting of the Democratic State Committee before November, said Mr. Rutherford. who is the chairman. T have had no re- quests for meeting. and those of the committeeman I have seen ex- pressed a desire not to have the meeting before that time
 Prohibition is not being talked of in the eastern part of the state,' said McFarlane. ''I am down here for the meeting to arrange the joint cam paign of the candidates for gover- nor.
 T have nothing to say at present. v said Professor Hinemon, who is con- sidered candidate for the guberna- tOrial position II do not desire to place myself on record as yet as be- ing a candidate. I think October too early to begin the campaign, as Mr. McFarlane suggests.
 q have seen notices of the letter of MT. McFarlane relative to a prop osition to arrange for a joint canvass of the state, and the comment of Mir. Kirby, and the reply of MT. Donaghey
 to the same,' he continued "The primaries occur the last of March. It
 is presumed that no candidate an- nounced or prospective, is gentle man of leisure Whether in public office or private station it does seem to me that three months ought to be all the time that any man who is do- 1 ing anything can afford to devote to a campaign Therefore. I shall insist that we do not engage in an active canvass until after the Christmas holidays. This will be after all the crops have been housed. and the busy farmers will then have time to hear what we may have to say on the political issues before the people,
