Work has been stopped on all con-
struction in Kansas City and along
the Kansas division, including the
new line between Topeka and Lincoln,
Neb. The. work on the new shops in
Omaha has been temporarily aban-
doned.
None of the operating force has
been discharged and probably will not
be for some time. On this point Gen
eral superintendent Park says:
we expect curtailment of busi-
ness and as fast as this occurs we will
lay off train crews For the present
this will not be done; our orders are
to dispense with every available man
ana to stop every piece of construc-
tion work on the system. We are or
dered to cut expenses in every pos
sible way"
These orders came from New York,
but the officials would not say who
issued them r. H. Hartman is the
only official of the Union Pacific
higher than Omaha officials.
The Burlington and the Northwest
ern roads, which have headquarters in
the city, are proceeding with their
work When asked ii the Northwest
ern would follow the Union Pacific's
action General Manager Walters Of
thR lines west Of the Missouri river
said:
No, we are too busy to quit work
and lie idle"

RATE CASES COMPARED.
Minnesota's More Important Than
North Carolina's.

NCrIn IdfOtina 5.
Washington, Oct. 30-Testimony in
the North Carolina rate cases, where
in Judge Pritchard of the federal cir
cult court sought to restrain the state
officials from putting in the rates es-
tablished by the state legislature. is
now being taken before a master at
the Offices of the Southern Railway in
Washington
The purpose of the taking of testi-
mony and the securing of the balance
sheets of the Southern Railway is TO
ascertain whether or not the rates es-
tahlished BY the state were confisca-
tory.
The Minnesota case differs from that
OF North Carolina in some respects in
that Federal Judge Lochren actually
declared in substance that the rates,
as provided for in the commodity rate
law of April 1S last. were confiscatory
and that he took into consideration
and passed upon the evidence submit
ted BY the roads bearing on this ques-
tion.
In North Carolina the Southern Rail-
way gave UP its fight in the face Of
Governor Glenn's threat to dissolve 1t
and the stockholders Of the line did
not come to the rescue of the officers
as in the Minnesota case Hence the
latter case is more important mas
much as it will be the first TO be re-
viewed by the federal supreme court.

NOT AFFECTED AS YET.
Grain Movement to the Head Of the
Lakes Continues.

Duluth. Oct. 30--The grain move
ment 10 the Head of the Lakes will
not be interrupted for the present at
least by the financial troubles. At a
conference between the comptrollers
of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads and the directors Of
the Duluth board of trade an under
standing was reached whereby the
cars will be handled as rapidly as
they come forward The roads are
anxious to prevent a congestion here
and keep the cars moving in order 70
get the crops into the elevstors be-
fore navigation closes.
\ The Duluth board Of trade Is doing
no trading. The trading room Is open,
but the members have agreed 70 make
mo trades until the financial clouds
have passed. The action was neces-
sary for the same reason that the
Western banks had to suspend pay
ment OF Eastern checks. Duluth
grain firms are large exporters and
they were pa.eng out their cash in re-
turn for cIearfsg house checks on New
York banks. The country elevators
have ceased buying grain for the pres-
ent, but are taking for storage.

HOPES TO KEEP IT'S GOLD
German imperial Bank Advances Ex-
change Rate.

Berlin, Oct. 30The exchange rate
OF the Imperial bank of Germany has
been raised from 552 TO 6te per cent
It is significant OF the changed sittla-
tIon in the market here that the adj
vance was a full ! per cent, whereas
the hank Oct II only discussed rails

change is directly due to New York's
demand for gold, which it Is feared
here will lead to cold exports from
Germany.

German bank to await the Bank Of

The announcement "a at the Impe-

but to the large credits which are
being established by the movement of
the crops and other products notably
wheat, cotton, copper, tobacco and
meats-and by the sale OF American
securities. These Influences are
usually more potent than artificial

1t is believed this will be effective to
place sufficient gold at the command
OF the New York market and to main

of banking operations in the usual
manner within few days.
Runs upon the banks here have
practically ceased since the banks
adopted the policy of paying large de-
spositors in checks. Some transfers of
accounts are being made from the
smaller to the larger banks. which
resulted in adverse balances against
the former, but strengthening the
ability of the larger institutions to
meet pressure and to support the
market.
