Results of TTnlcn and Southern Pacific for October Make Poor Comparisons. Net earnings of he Harriman roads for the month of October. figures of which were received yesterday show noteworthy decreases from the corresponding; time- a year ago. Union Pacific pre llTA S a S %° f 5035 ' 037 ' asainßt a paln in trot* of «J-a ani ■ S ° uther " *•«">*• a loss In net of $1.4.0,403, against m increase In gross of $1,213,235. The Lnion Pacific company has Issued th- follow refuft? ° Nt explaining the reduction in its net •About HBUM of the increase in expenses is for maintenance of way. structures and equipment. Renewals of crosstles Increased J60.247, and charges for equipment depreciation #0.650. The remaining increase is in current repairs, renewals of roadway and of equipment, caused in part by the greater expense in maintaining the roadway under the greater traffic moved over it. the greater expense of keeping up locomotives of the present heavy type and the increase in wages and cost of material. Expenses for conducting transportation and general expenses Increased $645,501. the result in part of an increase in ton mileage of about 21 per cent, higher wage schedules and increased cost of fuel for locomotives. Taxes increased $53,080." Southern Pacific's decline in net is accounted for by a marked gain in maintenance of way, structures and equipment; by an increase in expenses on re newals of rails, ties and ballasting: by repairs to cars and by expenditures in bringing the roadbed damaged by last winter's flood to a standard con dition. The expense of maintaining the roadway under the greater volume of traffic moved and tho increase in the cost of labor and materials also contributed to the poor results reported in net tcturns. CHICAGO RAILWAYS ANNOUNCEMENT. The committee in charjre of the modified plan of October 10 of the Chicago Railways Company has anno'jneed an extension of time for deposits to Wednesday.

In which It Is expected that decrees will shortly be entered. BUFFALO MINES DIVIDEND.

Chicgao, Dec 13.— Liberal primary receipts and Increased stocks in the Northwest were chiefly re sjx risible to-day for weakness in the local wheat market. At the close wheat for May delivery was Off i 6 e. Corn was a shade lower. Oats were down ii A c to : V\ Provisions were 174 cto Be lower. The wheat market opened weak because of a moderate decline at Liverpool, and with the excep tion of a few mild rallies continued heavy all day. The dulness of export business, the poor demand for cash wheat and trio large increase in stocks of wheat at Minneapolis were the depressing features. The strength of corn and a late recovery at Liver pool were the bullish features. Trade which was active in the early session became very light in the later part of the day. The close was easy.

Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of £01 cars, against IS'i last week and ESI a year ago. The corn market was strong for the greater part of the day because of firm cables and reports of poor condition in much of the new crop. Late in the pession sentiment became bearish because of the decline in the price of live hogs and liberal primary receipts. The close was steady. May opened a gtede higher to He lower, nt 56^c to K%o to B «■ . advanced to ZV.'*c, and closed at K^ic Jvoe.il receipts were 223 cars, with sixteen of con tract grade.

Pales for the day were reported of 27,:KH> bags. The market opened steady and held around the opening figures during the early session on a moderate demand from local trade In terests, while Europe seemed to be selling the later posi tions on a moderate scale. Support was probably encour aged by the light Brazilian receipts and reports of a steadier tone in the market for spot coffee. The Euro pean markets mads ■ steady showing at the closing prices of the previous day, and the Brazilian markets wero steady, with prices unchanged to ii£> rcis higher. The main sustaining factor, however, is the llpht movement of coffee of all kind*, which local bulls believe points to a world's crop Cor the current season of around 13.00>,0*>0 to 14 600.000 bays. whereas th« season's requirements aro quite \-. •-.:..:•.:.■ estimated at between 17.000.000 and 18. 000,000 bags. 6u«"h expectations naturally suggest higher prices for the parties In control if the surplus supply was Etroni- enough to hold far an advance, but the prospect does not appear to be encouraging enough or sufficiently recosnised to attract any general buying movement, with cut which the market fluctuates irregularly under the leadership cf the market for spot supplies.

In New Turk State there Is a fair demand for l«st hops, with sales reported from IOC to I.V: the better grades are pretty closely cleaned up.
