(3 HEAVY GRAIJi TRADE RECORD AT HEAD OF THE LAKES EXCEEDS ALL PREVIOUS MONTHS 8Y FULLY 14,000 CARLOADS. KEARLY 25,000 CARLOADS WERE RECEIVED THERE LAST MONTH. FOURTEEN MILLION BUSHELS The Aggregate Amount of Grain Re ceived There for Grinding; or Transshipment. The reports filed with the railway and warehouse commission for the | month of October show that the grain j traffic at the head of the lakes sur- j passed anything every experienced. ! The footings of the receipts were a great surprise even to the members of ; the commission. It was expected that the traffic would break the record, but not by 4,000 carloads. The total number of carloads of grain received at Duluth during the month of September was 23.255. Sup posing each car contained 600 bushels j It would make a grand total of 13,979, --000 bushels, or enough to fill a dozen of the biggest elevators in the country, j Of course it must be remembered that j these receipts do not consist wholly of ! wheat, for the cargoes were composed of corn, flax, oats, barley, rye and | wheat. A bare statement that 23.255 carloads of wheat were received in Duluth in I one month does not convey an ade- I quate idea of the immensity of the j business. A simple illustration will ' suffice to bring out the tremendous Volume of business. Supposing that the entire 23,285 cars were lined up in , trains, and that each train consisted of | thirty cars, there would be precisely 776 1-6 trains in line. This statement will give also some impression as to the business of the railroads, and the hundreds of thou sands of dollars that accrue from the revenue of hauling the produce of the great prairies to the head of the lakes. The number of vessels which loaded at the docks is not obtainable. N. P. TERMINUS. * Step Taken by the Secretary of the Interior. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.— Another step in a long standing controversy has been taken by the secretary of the in terior jn declining to recognize the designation of the city of Duluth as the eastern terminus or initial point of the Northern Pacific railroad. The decision directs that a new terminal be established as the new eastern ter minus of the road accordingly. Under present conditions the lines of both the Northern Pacific and Lake Superior & Mississippi roads are the same between Thompson and Duluth. A line of the same character as a terminal line should be established upon the Lake Superior & Mississippi road at Thomp- ! sox. Between the line thus established and the eastern terminus of the North ern Pacific grant, when established as now directed, the Northern Pacific com pany will not be entitled to indemity for lands to which the other company may have been entitled under its grant. The intention of congress, it is stated, was evidently to provide against mak ing a double grant where two land grants were found to be on the same general line. WESTERN ROAD VICTORY. Trunk Lines Abolish Southern Pa cific Emigrant Commissions. CHICAGO, Nov. 2.— The roads in the Western Passenger association have re fused to make a rate of one fare for the round trip for visitors to the Wo men's Christian Temperance union, which is to be held in St. Louis about the middle of the present month. The best* the roads will make is one and one-third fare for the round trip. The roads of the Central Passenger commit tee will make a rate of one fare for the round trip from all points in thei. territory. Chairman Parmer, of the Trunk Llnc iissociation, has informed the Western loads that he has decided to recom mend to the lines in his association that they hereafter decline to pay com missions to the Southern Pacific on fill emigrant business ticketed over the Seaboard and the Sunset route. The Western roads regard this as a decided victory in their fight with the Southern Pacific over the commissions that the latter has been paying as with tho commissions heretofore received from the trunk lines out of the way they claim that the Southern Pacific will not re able to pay the large commission-, It has been paying on emigrant busi rtss to the Pacific coast. HAS A WHOLESOME EFFECT. Kew Western Freight Already Affects Current Turin's. The influence of the new Western Freight association, which is still Its its chrysalis state, is already being fell in freight circles, and the inflence, as far as it goes, is welcomed. A freight, oilicial said yesterday: "I can see the first workings of the new association as plainly as if I were looking through a window at an engine. It will be thirty days before we will get the full motion and effect, for the reason that the board of executives nre not yet agreed upon the vacancy in the administrative board." "What is the effect felt already?" "It is a new growth of conservatism In issuing tariffs. Under the new sys tem the tariffs will be scrutinized far more closely than they were in the past and fewer rates will §lip through with out being carefully considered in all their bearings. That is what the new board is for." There appears to be but little foun dation for the claims that there is Blill bad feeling among the roads and that the new agreement is liable to die before it gets used to the arL of breathing. There is a delay to be sure, but the delay is caused by the failure to complete the organization of the board of administration. As soon as this is effected, the Whole machine will commence to move.

Firm. Unless the Soo line alters its position with regard to tne rates on butter to the East, it is likely that the tariff on that commodity will not be rased to its original figure of $1.05 per hundred pounds. There has been a tremendous shipment the past few months, and during the rate war the tariffs went down as low as 60 cents. The Soo claims to have suffic ent reasons for its position, that it will not be to its interests to restore the rate until certain conditions are fulfilled by other lines. Duluth Hid* for Grain.

Satolll Denier* It In to Be a Metro politan See. LONDON.Nov. 2.— A special dispatch from Rome says that at the consistory to be held at the end of the present month, the diocese of Buffalo will be raised to the dignity of a metropolitan see, with jurisdiction over Rochester, Syracuse and Elmira. The dispatch adds that Bishop Keane, formerly rec tor of the Catholic university at Washington, will be appointed a titu lar archbishop. Rome, Nov. 2.— Cardinal Satolli. in an interview today, declared there was no foundation in the statement that the diocese of Buffalo is to be raised to the dignity of a Metropolitan see, with jurisdiction over Rochester, Syra cuse and Elmira and he also classed as unfounded the statement that Bish op Keane, formerly rector of the Cath olic university at Washington, is to be appointed a titular archbishop. The cardinal added that all forecasts as to Bishop Keane's successor are prema ture as the list of candidates sub mitted by the American bishops has not yet reached the Vatican. Continuing, Cardinal Satolli further classed as premature the statement that the jurisdiction of the apostolic delegate to the Roman Catholic church in the United States was to be extend ed to Canada, as at present he ex plained, only a suggestion of this char acter has come from the dominion gov ernment, and the Canadian bishops have not yet given their adherence to It. In conclusion, the cardinal said that the report that Archbishop Martinelli would convoke another council at Baltimore was also premature, as all intended at present is to secure a bet ter application of the decisions of the Baltimore council of 1888.

TRADING WAS NOT HEAVY, niT ORDERS TO BUTT WERE VERY LARGELY IX THE MA JORITY. STREXGTH CAME PROM LIVERPOOL. Porei|?n Cnblert Were Higher and a Decrease in W lit at stocks Abroad Was Reported. CHICAGO, Nov. 2.— Wheat advanced 2:' con a narrow market today. Much of the strength was due to the advance at Liverpool. Other markets were neglected. Corn advanced "^c and oats about the same. Provisions closed with taut little change. Wheat proved more interesting than had been expected the day before election. Trad ing was not heavy, but the orders to buy were in the majority, and sellers could only be found when price* were bid up. The strength came princi pally from the foreign situation. Liv erpool opened l*4d higher for futures, and reported a decrease in stocks of wheat, which were already small, of 135,000 bu. The figures on world's shipments were conflicting, but all of them were large, and this was a dis quieting influence, but only temporar ily so. The quantity on ocean pas sage was 640,000 bu less. The net re sult was a very strong market. De cember, which at the close Saturday was bringing 72%@72%c, opened this morning with buyers at from 73*4 cto 73*/ 2 c A reaction to 73"/ 8 c followed, but from that point it turned upward again, and with steady persistence, but with out much activity in the trad ing, it rose to 74% c before 12 o'clock, and later, after a reaction to 74"4 c, it rose to 74?4c. The Northwest receipts were 1,450 cars, 400 less than a week ago and 300 less than a year ago, which was a partial confirmation of the predictions so freely made last week, that the deliveries in that quar ter were to fall off sharply. Closing cables showed an advance at Liverpool v.- u\_ a J- d the price of December, ™7, had in the meantime fallen to ""2*540, advanced again to 74% c. Dur ing the last fifteen minutes an extra spasm of bullishness carried the price J**w, 5?- 75c ' The closing was firm at 74%@70c. Corn ruled strong on very limited business. May started a shade higher at 289ic and advanced slowly to 29iic selling at 29%@29%c at the close. Oats were very quiet, but a firm feeling ex isted and prices ruled higher. May opened %c higher at 21% c, sold to 22% c and closed steady at 22% c. In provis ions almost nothing was doing. Live stock prices were higher and this, with the strength of grain, maintained an opening advance.

It seems a certain popular miner had died, and his friends, having decided to give him a good send-off, hired a man for $20 to act as sex ton. It was in the midst of winter: there was ten feet of snow on the ground, and the grave had to go six feet below that. The grave digger sallied forth into the snow, depositing the corpse for safe keeping in a drift, and for three days nothing was heard from him. A delegation sent to find the fellow discovered him digging away with all his might, but found also the Intended grave converted into the entrance of a shaft. Strik ing the earth, it seems, he had found pay rock worth $60 a ton. The delegation at once staked out claims adjoining his, and the deceased was forgotten. Later ln the season, the snow having melted, his body was found and given an ordinary burial in another part of the* camp. STOCK LIST SOARED EXTREME ADVANCE OF THREE PER CEXT RECORDED IX XEW YORK. TIGHT MONEY OVERLOOKED. IX THE PACE OF HIGH CALL, RATES, STOCKS WERE BUOY AX T. CLEARING IP OF SHORT CONTRACTS With the Execution of Numerous Commission House (ash Sales Marked the Dealings NEW YORK, Nov. 2.— The stock market today exhibited pronounced strength and an unusually broad dis tribution of a modest volume of busi ness. The abnormal conditions con fronting the speculative and invest ment community were responsible for indifference displayed to exceptional stringency in money rates. The same consideration compelled the cleaning up of short contracts that, with some stocks, had been long outstanding. In the face of a rate for call funds rang ing up to -J4 per cent with interest a day, and "4 per cent and interest on loans over election today, together with higher actual and posted quotations for foreign exchange, stocks were buoyant and scored extreme advances of I@3 per cent in the regular shares. A feat ure of the day was the execution of numerous sales of stocks for cash. The grangers and coalers sco-ed the great est improvements in the railways, ris ing 2@3 per cent, and the maximum gain noted was in the industrials, re corded in Sugar, which also led the market in point of activity. Other con spicuously strong stocks were Chicago Gas and American Tobacco. The strength of the share speculation extended to the railroad bond market, which was unusually active and broad at material advances. In government bonds an extreme advance of 2 per cent was recorded in the new fours register ed, which is an exceptionally wide fluc tuation in that issue. The buying was attributed to investment account. To return to the stock market con siderable interest was attached to heavy dealings in the low priced shares, Including Union Pacific, Tennes see Coal, Pacific Mail and La Clede Gas. The bond market developed de cided strength as the day progressed and closed buoyant with a heavy de mand for the speculative issues, which recorded net improvements of I@2 per cent. The sales were $1,572,000. Governments displayed buoyancy, rising I@2 per cent, the extreme gain In the new fours registered. The sales' were $50,000. Silver certificates were active and declined % to 63 on sales of $72,000. The total sales of stocks were 232,180 shares including: Tobacco, 4.100; Sugar. 17,700; Burlington, 10,300; Chi cago Gas, 8,400; Chesapeake & Ohio, 3,300; General Electric, 6,900; Missouri Pacific, 4,600; Reading, 22,900; St. Paul, 9,200; Tennessee Coal & Iron, 4,100; Western Union, 4.600; W. & L.

DISAPPEARING, Is the Picturesque Mantilla of the Mexican Senorlta. Modern Mexico. It is a source of greatest regret on the part of every one who visits Mex ico that the senorita has so generally lald aside her lace mantilla and adopt ed Paris millinery in its stead. The charm of a Spanish face has so long been enhanced by the mantilla, and lace is such a fascinating feature of Spanish art, that it is with sincere disappointment travelers note the black-eyed and olive-skinned ladies of the republic walking abroad in hats of the same style that are worn in New York. It matters not how richly trimmed they may be, these fashiona ble modern hats seem cut of place In old Mexico. Half the charm of the country lies in its antiquity,' lts quaint and Individual customs; and when a custom is so universally becoming as is the mantilla to the Mexican seno rita's face, it seems a real misfortune to give it up. With the interchange of commodities between the two republics, of course, will come a greater or lese interchange of customs, but we fear the women of the states will never learn to adjust the mantilla with the native grace of the Mexican-born woman. The peon woman still clings to her rebozo, but the Mexican lady has dis carded her Spanish lace mantilla we fear forever, and they are being sold on the streets and in the shops by the dealers in curios. Almost every lady from the states brings one home with her, but there is no type from the North that can wear the mantilla as If to the manner born. Many of the old ways may still be seen in Mexico. Every evening on the Paseo Mexican gentlemen are seen in the picturesque national costume, but the lace mantil la on the dark-eyed beauty will be looked for In vain. _^M> Was He Witty or Indolent.
