The opening In wheat wns sluggish nnd nt
n shade under yesterday's closing prlcce.
IX'ctifnbcr Htarted ut UJ ifiM'sc , and Bold
down to tijc before any Nlrungth was
ehown or support given. The weakness
was duo to opening dcellne-a at Liverpool
nnd I'tirln. Foreign advlcttf , however ,
changed the stiile of affairs about Imlf an
liour from the opening. It wits eluteil In
dispatches from Ode su. thut thu cilsl * In
the grain trade In southern Kussln had
bten enhanced by the Influx of Imlf n score
of ] Iuiii4iirlan commlsnlonera who were pur-
clinking wheat at any price they could
obtain It. It was also stated that tlie gov
ernment had intulu extraordinary purehuscs
gf grain for food reserve as a prccnullim
iiliumst another famine. ThM soon obliter
ated the effect of tlie idlght declines at
Llvtipool 'and 1'arls , and a more urgent
demand nrue , the eMimi-quc-nce - being that
by 12 o'elork December had advatieed to
HiTso. The scalpers have fought shy ot
tlie tnnrkt't for some time and were con-
pplcuously reluctant to have much to
Oc > with It today. The abseiKo of such an
Important controlling force was seen In the
ililili'ulty commission men had hi lining
orders , more especially buying orders , as
the latter wrre vastly In the majority.
Budden jumps In the pi Ice were unavoid
able , us December wheat was not for sale
jitter the llrst half hour by any one who
did not haveIt previously bought , and the
advance to UTTin : was attended by many
fluctuations. The otdlimry market news
had nothing very excitable or novel beyond
the Odewa dlapatoh. Chicago received "id
c-arc , only 1 ot them contract. Mlune-apolls
nnd IJiiluth reported l7'J ! e-arloads , against
3OKI a your aso , The Atlantic port ileur-
nncoA were e-qual In wheat and Hour to
fjfw.OW ) liu. The French de-iuanil for wheat ,
which had be-on somewhat In abeyance , hay.
revived iipnlii , in-cording a c-ablegram
from London , which quoted u sale to France
of a riirgn alreaily alloat of California
wheat. Now York reported : ! . "i boatloads
taken there fnr exports up to about 12
'o'clock. The market continued strong , US'/to
liclni ; ftiriPiil for Dec-ember about half an
hour from thu closeI'uupli * who were still
bcarlshly inollned e-ontlne-d short selling to
the .May delivery anil that In consequence
Kot a slight discount , Ha price being fi' ie ,
when December was flSVic. lly closing time
December had roacti-il to 07Jc.
Trailing In corn was not KO actlvo ns of
late , but tl'e- market wast ve'ry Ilrm. Some
of the llrinne-fM was due to sympathy with
wheat , but predictions of frost In the northwest -
west Friday , coupled with someof the
worst f-top n porl.s yet re-celved , helped to
maintain lhi > prleo Independent of the
coursi ! of wheat. Country offerings won-
tmiall. ( 'li-niMiioes Wfi'p ( ! 2S,0Hi ( hu. ; local

Oats nponod weak , but llrined up later
nnd ri-malneil so for the rest of the session.
The e-ash demand was large , .ICO.OJO bu.
being 1'iki-n for fxprt : i entordiiv. This wns
the principal bull feature. Offerings wore

from 20Jie : to 21'io , closing at 21'Afi211,4i.- .
Provisions were weak In e.-mparl-on with
the grain markets , although pork nhowed
un advance at the close. The yellow fever
scare was not so much In evidence , but
there was scattered liquidation by small
holders all day. The cash demand was
Kood. At the close December pork wns 7" > e

NEW YOltK , Sept. 9. The market responded
to higher quotations In Ixindon , with a frac
tional rise at HIM opening , as It lefponded yes
lerday wltli a decline. Thu ndvancn In Illinois
Central extended to ilk nnd In Southern preferred
a point , and the latter stock held remarkably
firm all day , In fare of a heavy liquidation all
through the mniket. Illlnnhi Cential rather un-
lice luntnhly declined neiuly two points In view
of Ihe brilliant achievements In earnings dis
closed by thf August statement , lepoitlng an
Increase over August la t year of $551,224. The
detailed statement for July showed thut the In-
cieuKH In tin * net earnings fell Just short of
$150.000. The slock rallied later , und closed
with a net gain. The muiket mk qult
weakly under the heavy teullzlng movement In
thu morning. L/ndon buying Invited realizing
Kales , and It IK likely that u failure of a lurgtf
outside brokerage house hud u-iniethlng to do
with tin * heaviness on account of the liquidation
entailed upon agents upon the. Hour. The de
cline extended In 11 In St. Paul. 1 % In Northern
I'.icMllr prefeiied und un uvernge of a point In
a huge number of leading shares. Thu as
sembling of the St. Paul dlrecloiH with n
qimium present was the effective Inlliieace In
checking Ilic decline < m account of the pi evident
belief that nn extra dividend would be declared.
When It bi'Ciimo knuwn that the decision uf
the directors wns In favor of making the exira
dividend 1 per ot-nt , the stock immrued upward
strongly to par , which It touched for the Hist
tlmo In fourteen years. Tli * price reacted n
fraction then , im though the maximum had
been reached , but n renewed Impetus was Im-
parled by tint enormous buying of all jffert-d , und
tin * price was lifted lo 101 und held theiv till
the close. Sales of St. Paul w * rc over K9 , f >
shales. This lively advance affected the other
giiingeis by sympathy and exlended an Improved
lonn ull through the IM. Thn renewed strength
In the nr.ilu markets , the reports of heavy truf-
llo on rullrnaiU nnd the Impioveinent" In earn
ings helped thu rally. Oregon Nuvlguilon

CATTL.I5 The receipts of cattle were
large today , ISO loads , as against 121 yester
day and 217 the day before. In addition to
the fresh receipts there were quite a num
ber of cattle on the teediT order that were
carried eve : * from yesterday In llrst hands.
The supply of beef suee.rs was small , only
about a dozen loads of cornfe.d : cattle being1
offered for sale , while few of the westerns
were good enough for the killers. The mar
ket In consequence was fully steady on
anything desirable. One bunch of cornfed
steers sold up to $3.00 , .ud some grass west
erns brought $4.10.
About fifteen loads of cows and heifers
were offered nnfl sold at Just about steady
prices. The trade was reasonably active on
that kind of cattle and the supply was soon
exhausted. >
In the feeder department the market was
not so favorable to the selling Interests.
The number of cattle carried over from
yesterday In llrst hnnds as well us In the
hands of speculators , taken In connection
with the fresh receipts , rendered the offerIngs -
Ings heavyAt the same time the country
demand yesterday proved } rather disappoint
ing. With so many bear features In view
and with nothing especially encouraging to
give strength to the market values dropped
back fully lOc nnd the trade was slo'.v at
the decline. Representative sales :

NKW YORK , Sept. 9. The cotton market
opened steady nt an advance of from 1 to 2 lulntb
on better cables than expected , and some buying
by New Orleans and Liverpool. Fears that to
morrow's government report will bhow a very
bullish condition led the moie timid shorts to
cover and cause-.l hesitation against seIlni ! ; union. ;
even the most confident bears. Another strength
ening featuie was the complaints of damage to
the crop In the eastern nnd cenlral portions of
thu cotton belt. Rumors that 2.0IX ) notices were
out , and only partially taken care of checked
buying Just before the close. The market vlureu

WOUAI..S AMI HAM.ROAD TIIAVKL.
LIN'COLN. Sept. G. To the Rdltor of The
Dee : No commercial truth Is nioro clf-
ovlilcnt than the interdependence of railroads
and the communities through which they
pass ; each Is essential to the growth nnd
prosperity of the other. A ( own through
which the Iron road docs not pass Is soon
deserted anil falls Into decay. Towns , cities
and farms arc often abundantly willlnir lo
mortgage their possessions to tempt a rail
road to themselves , nnd in addition to build
depots freight houses and grant spoelal
privileges. The advent of the nre horse
causes at oncu an appreciation In the value
of all kinds of property , leal and personal ;
Business takes a new start , every enterprise-
Is quickened. It Is the evangel of pros
perity , the herald of good news tmto all
people to whom It comes. No less Is ( ho
railroad company benefited by the commu
nity ; the farm , the mlrie , the distributing
warehouse , Ihe town and village Industrie's
and the traveling public make the lireblood
of railway buslnehs ; without them It pt-r-
iBlies and the road Is the most useless of nil
bankrupts. They are as necessary to each
other as are arteries and veins , brains and
blood. The statement Is a truism , and vet
there prevails notoriously between thorn a
mutual suspicion and enmity. Like sonic
married couples , their mutual anxiety to be
united Is boon followed by bitter quarrels and
scathing recriminations , each accusing the
other of falsehood , cruelty and infidelity.
And If their disputes were referred to nn
honest referee he would decide as did the
old New England judge between two terma
gants who were burling at each other scur
rilous epithets : "Ladles , gentle ladles , I
believe the charges of both of you to bo
true. " Railroad companies charge on Un
people that town olflclals conspire to overtax
their property ; Juries are prejudiced agalnat
them In cases of claims for damages ; that
( hey are mulcted for penalties , unjust , law ?
are passed which rob them of Just returns
for their Investments , ovcrybou- ; will steal
a ride or cheat out a "pass ; " tliey are run
ning their roads through the "enemy's coun
try" and they must bo constantly on the-
watch against all of " "
manner "hold-lips" and
cunning Bchemcs of villainy.
The public makes countercharges that
after they have contributed heavily by mort
gages and bonds to build those roads they
are now like Ircchea seeking every advan
tage to enrich themselves on the spoliations
of the people ; that they buy legislators to
pass laws for their benefit ; that by that
over-convenient and ever-present bribe , the
railroad pass , they purchase the tolerance of
judges , the talents" of lawyers and the "In-
llooence" of the bocdle-loving brigade ; that
Ilielr bribed agents and special workers are
like the historical Jesuit , everywhere for ag-
grcrjslYcnetts and assault on the Interests of
the public. Therefore the railroad Is Ihe
lawful prey of anyone who can succeed by
fairness or fraud to "help himself" out of Its
exchequer. There are nieni who In other
business dealings arc scrupulously honest ,
the "pink of honor" In the faith of bushier ,
and yet would not hesitate to over-ride
their ticket , deal with the "scalper , " Jump
at a pass , dodge the conductor , or in any
other way "heat" their passage , and they
would tell the story as an Incident of Inno
cent sharpness , or of luck In catching the
game , The fact In the public has an Idea ot
the rallioa < 3 as of a mine what can bu
chipped , or dug out of the conscienceless ,
bloodless , heartless , soulless thing Is a clear
gain to tlie peculator and no positive la-s to
the company.
The railway companies look at such con
duct as another evidence of the "total dc-
iravlty" of human nature , a violent outbreak
3f the old disposition "to get something for
liothlng , " It la dishonesty and thieving , they
say. This paper has no apology to offer for
"stealing a ride , " or In any way beating
iwbllc carriers ; but It is plain that In the
uubllc mind It Is a difference oP a diameter
In morals between plundering a railway com-
riany of a ride and plundering a grocery , or
i till of Us contents.Vhlio admitting thn
lawlessness and crime of p : eying on a rail
road corporation by niching Us Etock-ln-
trade , yet I aver that much of the conduct
af the companies toward the public Is such
Ihat great many feel Justified In "securing
rlgheousnesB by strategy" the eiiphomtom.
tor dead-beating. The alleged Belllsli greed
jf railroad corporations , tliel- unjust dis
criminations when their own coffers can bo
benefited ; the great Injury Indicted on wi-al :
towns and helpless villages by differences in
rates in favor of larger cities , bribery of
legislators and other schemes of Injuntlcn
if which tliuy are Euspectcd make the com-
inunltloa look upon them as public plunder-
.TD , und all that can be niched from them la
ncrely grabbing the "Bwag" from robbers.
It Is probable that thu Bin a of railroad
companies are exaggerated , and are also
used as pretexts and excuse's for much dis
honesty that Is lying around loutc among the
.raveling publle ; and yet It is a part and par
cel of tlio commercial history of our country
that many of HH railroad enterprises wure
liugu systems of unblushing plundering ; the
[ olonsal for turns of the schcmcm are monuments
ments of Napoleonic robberies of the federal
government , of the stale , town and com
munity. Hut , probably thu traveling public
.hlnliH less of those stupendous frauds that
are now In history than they do of the con-
Ktant little pe'culutions to which they are
mbjectod on their travels. The companies
Itlu-r tolerate or urn participants In con-
.emptlblu ami measly schemes to "do" the
.ravclcr ; every opportunity Is Improved to
ako from him us much and give him as
Ittloas possible , until he feels that the
inly way to save himself and get even Iu
It for tat. Illustrations of this charge are
tlmoet too insignificant and petty to aotu
worn It not that the arc njrulrmntlq and an
noying. I tutored thn train nt one of the
fhlcflgo depots belonging to one of the great
linen running went. 1 discovered at nnco
that 1 was in an environment of preying" .
The newspaper cost me twlco and half
tnoro limn outside of iho car book * cigars ,
fruits and other luxurlcn , or necessities In
the sumo proportion. Sleeping car berth
was advertised for $2 ; when 1 went to
"dicker" with ( lie conductor about It I dls-
rovrrod that If 1 look the "sleeper" at that
hour (7 ( p. in. ) for | 2 1 must "get out" t 4
In the morning , or 1 could wait until 11',10
P. in. and retain the sleeper until 9 next
morning. I told him that all I wanted was
an ordinary night In the berth from 10 p.
m. until 7 n. m. , but I rnuld not make ( hat
bargain for less than $2.60. The night In
the sleeper wns divided and arranged so ante
to ntch an extra 50 cents from the traveler.
Two dollarn Is an exorbitant price and hna
made Mr. Pullman's " "
"reserved fund" J2i > , -
000.000. The arrangement for the sleeper
on that train Is a small , contemptible plcco
of thievery that ought to bo rebuked-
thievery many a mother with her babe Is
poorly able to stand.Vo traveled the wliolo
night and stopped to "lunch In the depot"
much advertised by the newsboy with
dodgers. The "lunch" was served In thn
eompany'n building and was iimlrr either
the direct or Indirect control of the road ;
It was pfrvcd to the patrons of the road ,
and In a sense Its guilts.Vo entered the
"lunch room" rather hungry.
Hut the surroundings were sufficient for a
meal ! They were a di-appetlr.cr. The coun
ter wns wretchedly served , the coffee a
blood-watm , black slop ; the moat uiillko
wine It did not Improve with age1 1 shall
not particularize any further than to nay
that the oranges alone worn fit to oat A nil
yet , the charges were brutally steep ; that
alleged coffee was 10 cents per cup ; that
greasy plo , 10 cents per piece ; eggs ( market
price , 12 cents per dozen ) throe for 10 cents :
a sitleratus colored biscuit , d cents , and
sandwiches ( save the mark on that meat )
10 cents. A fair breakfast would cost , 73
to SO cents. Had the food boon nt to oat
half the prlco would ha\o been good pay
for II , and yet , th.t railroad company
through the years Imposes on a suffering
public by compelling It to feed on such
"nillngs" or carry food baskets In the tr.tln.
That western road lias no pro-omliionco In
schemes of Imposing on Its patrons. The
same lias bean my experience on lines going
east from Chicago. It Is only Just to say
that the conveniences ami luxuries of the
palace and dining cnra arc splendid and
the charges Im proportlrn ; but the multi
tude of the traveling public are not nblu
financially to enjoy those privileges. It Is
a crimson shame to aei up an Impoverished ,
expensive "lunch counter" In order to force
travelers whoso means ore not e'qual to
their self-respect to go Into greater expense
than they can afford.
Another attack on the disposition of people
to bo honest Is the pernicious P.IBS sys'.om.
The common people usually pay full fare ,
while multitudes of the rich travel on pauses.
While It la Impossible for a poor man to
souuro tin' least needed accommodation the
moneyed folks nre abundantly provided for.
Hut tlu-po fa\or to the rich cost the road
something and Iho grntuillos must bo met
by charging to Hits ? who are compelled to
pay. Abolish the mischievous free pass sys
tem nnd the coat of travel may bo reduced
to the public. The poor Iravellng public
being of the same lump as our common hu
manity , will boar watching In all circum
stances ; but the railroad companies ought
not to tempt their patrons to nich from them
as reprisals for systematic robbery and
plundering in the gulso of Iho "regulations
of travel. " Ict them treat passenecrs as
If they wished thorn to come again l.'l
the railway companies treat the traveling
public honestly and lioiiornbly and ( they will
ilo n great deal towird Inspiring such a
conduct toward Ihemsolves. As It Is now
each considers the other Its legitimate prey ,
and the motto Is "got as much as you can
for ns little as von can. " II. O\VHNS.

The well-to-do farmer of republican pro
clivities was In Washington looking tor plo
for the next three years and a half , not so
much for dessert as for a steady diet during
that period nnd while he was looking around
ho found time now and again to talk a bit
on other subjects.
One evening It was mules.
"I'll be doggoned. " he said to a Washing-
Ion Star man , "If I haven't got n mule out
liomo that ought to have the championship
: > olt for kicking. Why , by zucks , one mornIng -
Ing I tried to inalco that dorn mule huuf a
cattload of rocks from a creek about a half
mile to the stable , and bo'just wouldn't stir
i leg. All he would do when I tried to make
: ilm go forward was to move the other way ,
so to , beat -Mr. Mule at his own little game
[ took him out of the e.irt shafts and turned
ilm head on to the cart and started him up.
Then he wouldn't move either way , but just
stood still and began to kick. Not a one-
: egged kick , either , but the real thing with
loth feet , and , goo whllllkoiiH , how he did
launch them out into the atmosphere.
" 1 was sure I never would get him now ,
for I couldn't get near him ; but all of n
sudden I noticed that every time he kicked
10 kicked so hard that be couldn't hold on
ho ground with his forefeet and so dragged
ilmself about a foot or two , according to
ho ground ho wns on. That gave me an Idea
and I just stood by and when lie showed a
Imposition to quit I nagged him a little , ami
10 went to kicking again ; nnd I'll be blamed
t he didn't get that cartload of rocks to the
> lace I wanted It at mighty near as soon as
f ho had just hauled it there In the first
ilace , and made no fuss about It. "
One or two men coughed a short cough ,
but when the Kentuckl.in looked around they
seemed to have re-covered from their pul-
nc-nury attack.
"Isn't that scar on your forehead whcro
ho kicked you once ? " Inquired one of them.
"Not exactly. "
"I understood some one to say so , " said
the party with a cough.
"Somebody's mistaken , that's all. How It
lappened was that one day I was coming-
lite- the front gate and the mule was about
00 yards away , up at the other end of the
) lg yard In front of the house. My hound
made a break for him , and as the mule
whirled to run away he let ono leg ( ly at
ho dog , and the force of the kick , injislng
ho dog , was such that the shoo flow off
and whl/.zlng through the air It took mo a
clip over the eye as I stood at the gate
vatchlng the two animals , and came mighty
icar settling my earthly accounts right then
mil there- . You sou a mule's shoo Is hardly
as light as a woman's slipper , and when It la
iiirled 100 yards through the air , It Is just
ho kind of a thing you ought to Bland usldo
or and let It have as much room as It
wants. "
