There is consider able divergenca of viows among bunkers as to the condition of the money market, some holding that it is easy, and with funds in very ample supply, and others that there is much stringency, but the majority say there is a sufticiency of loanable funds for every ssary purposc.

Jobbers say trade is good, not as good as it might be, but with a very good demand in most lines, especially dry goods, hardware and groceries. *Prices do not show much clange, though dried fruits are active snd somowhat higher.

The influx of live stock from the drought-stricken country to the north continues, and it is com- puted that five times the usual number of cattlo and sheep will winter in this state dur- ng the season of 155000, and our farmers will benefit greatly by the demand thus er ated for their grain.

RODUCE MARKETS, CHICAGO Crieaco, Ocs. 26.~[Speclal Tug Bre.]—The wheat market was steady but not especially interesting. Locally there was beavy selling by a few leading operators and a tendency on the part of the general crowd to bull the market, The news was for the most part bullish in tenor, though tho cold and disagreeable fact remains that stooks are piling up and stuff s not going out of the country as fast as (t* should to msure the distribution of tho surplus among the consuming countries of- the old world. On toe floor to-day it was estimated that the visible supply would on *Monday show an increase of 2,000,000 or 2,500,000 bushels, 1t may be reduced the amount going into private store- houses, that being an unknown quantity in the visivle calculations, Export clearances from the four principal Atlantic ports for the week foot up 250,000 bushels of wheat and 225,000 bavrels of flour, equal in all to about 1,150,000 bushels. Bradstreets makes the total exports from both consts 2,197,000 bushels, against 1,800,000 vushels a year ago. The receipts in the northwest are not up to exvectations, being about 500,000 bushels in Duluth and Minneapolis, and testi- mony to the effect that farmers’ deliveries are falling off in Dakota and Minnesota is strengthening. Receipts, however, at all points foot up 12,000 bushels, against 837,000 bushels shipped. of which very little goes ont of,the country. Foreign markets have a better tone. inglish country aeliveries for thy weok were 80,800 quarters at an average prico of 80s 4d, against 88,500 quarters at an uverage of 20s 10d the preced- ing week. Dispatches wore received by sev- eral peopie on the foor that Mr. Law, the cminent English statistician, had reduced his estimate of the crop_of Great Brituin from 75,000,000 to 70,000,000 bushels. His first estimate was 84,000,000 bushels. A cablegram from Liverpool quoted English country markets as fiem, with the Telegram to quality of the crop good, but the yield below an avers Another cable noted o falling off in Russian and ludian supplies. On tho whole, the forcign situation may be quoted us encouraging, One of the boarish pieces of news might be found 1 rain throughout the winter wheat country, but this did not seem to have any special effact, probably for the reason that the fears of damage from drouth had never been very deeply rcoted in: the popular mind. = Local _ specu- lative sentiment seems to be develop- ing in favor of higher prices; though, as before stated, several leading 'operators insist upon pounding the markoet whenever circumstances justify.

The shorts in near deliveries were free buyers avthe start, and the strong feeling appurent’ yesterday was continued with added strength, There was very free selling of May, however, which weakened the general list. The de- mand for cash corn was active and at gener- ally higher prices than prevailed yesterday, but in sympathy with the weeker feeling at the end for futures shippers dropped their bids proportionately. The receipts were within six car loads of yesterday's cstimate and _ shipments were fair, but smaller than on the day be- fore.

Liverpool cables reported prices higher for hums, with lard 3d lowor, The eastorn market for the product showed no material change.

Events in the Career of the Union Pacific Moguls, THE NEW DISPENSATION, Facts of Interest to the Aspiring Raile road Man all Atong the Great Line—Etc, Ete. Railway Men and Facts, The Nobraska state board of transporta- tion has 18sued its mandate regarding local rates on coal, and aa equalization of the rates on anthracito and soft coal is de- manded, The new rate eriounts to a reduc~ tion of ahout 35 per cent, and the railronc are {natructed to 8o revise, within the next thirty days, thoir local rates as to corre- spond with the rate established by the board, ‘This move has long beon expected, owing 1o the faet that Petitions on the subject have been repeatedly forwarded to the board by the dealers, some of them dating back over ayenrago, The trafiic represcntatives of the Nebraska lines oppose tho move. They claim that, inasmuch s anthracite is of more value per ton than soft coal, u higher rate should be chargea; also, that soft coal is a more common commodity and that a lower rate can be maintained on it than on hard coal. A conflict between the roads and the board is not at all untikely. Henry Villard Is again at the tielm of tho Northern Pacific. Just what the future bas in store for this trans-continental line 18 wrapved in_mystery, but_the tumble in Northern Pacific stocks would indicate that cortain mattors connected with Mr. Vil lard’s former administration bave not been forgotten, When he was ousted from tho control of thit road, about five yoars ago the institution was 'in_bad shape. No sur- plus existed, and even the mmor hoidings of the compauy were incumbered. Only by hard work were the doors keept closed agaiust the receiver. From that time until the present period, the value of the stocks hns been gradnally enhancing, out oven now, they are greeted with a dull, - active demand in_Wall street. No sooner had the success of Henry Villard, in again obtaining control, been anuounced, than the Northern Pacific stock again souglit zero on the thermometer. The oficials of the Burlington are any ently very much ‘‘put out" over the report of the wreck at Gibson as published in Tit B, Facts and figures aro seemingly out of place in the opinion of somo beople. 1t is true that Tiue Bew's report contained the names of thirteen of the injured that were not included in the roports of the accident as published in the other Omaha papers. But the fact is, there were several parties in- jured in addition to those whose names ap- peared in Tie Be, and nothing hus beon said concerning them for the reason that they were reimbursed and ushered out of the way. ‘The namo of every individual as publistied in ik BEE was giveu by the v tim voluntazily. November 1, as announced in Tie Beg of Tuesauy, & material change will bo made i the general ofiices and officars of the Union Pacific. Mr. Thomus L. Kimball will as- sume the third vice prosidcncy; Edward Dickinson the general managership of the lines cast of Cheyeno; C. S. Mellen will jurisaiction over the traffic of the en- ystem: C. H. McKibbin will assume the position of general purchasing agent: J. S. Cameron will take charge of the coustruc tion aepartment. The foregoing individunls are well and favorably known 1n and outside of railroud circles, especially in_ the west, where they have all spent a goodly portion of their lives. i Thomas L. Kimball was born York county. Maine, October 1, 1831, aud hus just passed his_fifty-eighth- mile-stone. He entered the railroad service Angust 14, 1550, in the capacity of chief of the literary bireau of the Pennsylvania road. After one year's service in that capacity, he was made south- westorn passenger agent of the same road. Ho filled the latter position for eight years when he was again_promoted, this time to tho position of assistant general passenger agent of tho Pennsylvania Centrdl. March 20, 1871, he received a flattering offer coupled with the position of general passenger and ticket agent of the Union_Pacific, which he pted. It was while iu this po. that he gained a reputation throughout the railway wortd asa trafic munipulator. November 1, 1850, he was ap- pointed assistunt geucral manager, a position which ho held up to Augast 1, 1384, at which time he was appointed general traffic mana- ger. From September, 1857, to October, 1888, he filled the position of assMtant to tho first vice president. October 1, 1895, he was appointed general manager, which' he hus just_relinquished. During his carcer Mr, Kimball has stood foremost in the ranks of the representutive railroad men of the coun- try. at Bexton, Edward Dickinson, ‘who succeeds Mr. Kimball us general manager, was born Oc- tover 8, 1850, at Cumberland, Md, Ho bugan his rallway carcer at the age of thir- teen at Cleveland, O., as & messenger boy in the servico of the Cleveland & Toledo rail- road. He applied himself strictly to his duties and at the end of his second year of sorvice graduated as a firsy class operator. In 1565 he entered the service of the Atlantic & Great Western railroad ns @ tolcgraph operator, where he remained three years. Tn 1863 nis great ability, which had aiready began to make itself manifest to his em- ployers, won his promotion to assistant train dispatcher of the same road. At the end of nis second year of office worl he resigned to accepta position in the train scrvice as baggage master and express agent oh that line, which position he held until the close of 1871, when he received a flattoring offer from the Union Pacific at Omaia. ‘Phe first posi- tion he was given on that line was the ro sponsible one of a train dispatcher. Two years later he was chief dispatcter of the Wyoming division with headquarters a Lar- amie. In 1877 he was made superintendent of Laramie division, and in 1855 he was made assistant gencral superintendent of the entire system. In 1387 e was made general superiutondent, & position which ho filled until about five months ago, when the oftico was abolished and he was made assistant goneral manager. He will stop from the lat- ter position into that of general manager November 1. 5 Charles Sanger Melien, who will have ex- 0 of the trafic of the entire sys- m, needs no patent introduction to the rail- way world, He was born at Lowell, Mass., August 16, 1851, and entered railway servico September 22, 1860, as clerk in the cashicr's o of the Northern New Hampshire. In he was made the chief eogincer of the Central Vermont. From January, 187, to Qctober, 1880, he was connected 'with 'the Northern New Hampshire road—sevon yoars and five months of which ho was cashi chief clerk and assistant treasurer, October 1, 1880, to January 1, 1881, was assistant gen- erul manager of the Boston & Lowell road, uud from the latter date to Octover, 1881, was general manager of tho sawe rond. He was then made general auditor, o position whict he held until March 1, 1833, From June 1, 1654, to 1857 he was general superio terdent of the Boston & Lowwll. He came 10 the Union Pacific June 8, 1855, us general purchasing ngent. He has since, in addition 10 his duties us geaeral purchasing agent, filled the position of acting general manuger, assistant geoeral manager aod trafic mau: ager, Ho is considered available in all do- partments of arailroad. COnambers H, McKibbin, who will suc- ceed Mr, Mellen as genoral purchasing agent, and who is a sou of Geueral D, 1. McK ibbin, bas just passed the thirtieth wile stone in life. He one of the few that has succeeded in mounting the ladder with nothing but his own persovering spirit to second him, He embarked in railroading 1 the service of the Pennsylvania company 1879 in the humble calling of @ mecaanic, He learned hiis trade, und jo @ fow years was mado s sistaut mechanic of that road. Four years ago he left the Penusylvania to come to the Union Pacific in the capacity of inspector of the supply department. He was shortly ar- werward appointed chief inspector of the Union Pacitic. He next filled the position of general storekeeper, from which position he was called 1o the position of assistant fun»r.lyun-nuw agent, and Novewber | e will ussume dircet vharge of the depart. ment which is, aside from the teafiic, the most ymportant and responsible posit nectod with a railroad. - SINGULARITIES, A Luneh of colery containing twelve stalks has just been gathered at Kalamazoo.

A calf was recently caught on the cow- cateher of one of the big locomotives of the Iiast Tonnessee, Virginia & Goorgin railrond, near Gohutta, and earried a distauce of njuo miles. When discovered the young bovine was lying complacently on the pilot, appar- ently enjoying the mode of rapid trapsit.
