INDUSTRIAL CENTERS,

NEW Y0EK LETTER. New York, June 7. Stocks advanced one to two points under the lead of Union Pacific railway and the street developed for the moment further confidence in Cabinet meeting called for this evening. The idea that the government is in a dilema and afraid of taking a too radical course, is spreading. No today what the result of conference today, there will be no hurried legal rush to injure rail properties. Hie street is probably more concerned over the question of crops and business slackening than with Harriman though grateful for the Alton case as a motive for limited market movement. With $70,000,000 gold engaged on the movement and banks having lost $40,,000,000 for the week, the outlook is for surplus reserve to show decrease a millior or two tomorrow.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, June 7. Wheat market today has been quite an exciting one. The claim from Topeka that the Kansas crop report would show a condition of 52.3 has been the most sensational of tho news at hand and also the most effective in boosting the market from a condition of weakness to one of strength later. The entire range covered has been about two cents from 1 below to five-eighths above yesterday's close. Supplemented to the Topeka claim has' come much more sensational news than heretofore, claims of a deplorable crop condition in Roumania with estimates of only 73 per cent of crop in Russia. Later denial that any crop report had been Issued or would be issued by the Kansas officials served to quiet the market. There was also quite a reaction from the top on improved weather conditions In the northwest. CORN Corn ranged higher most of the day, the opening being strong despite the decline in wheat, speculators and a few cash houses were buying when wheat turned strong, starting a number of shorts to covering. Late in the day the list turned lower again with wheat. There was a great deal of selling of corn from the southwest and also by a large local speculator. Weather was favorable over night for growing crops, not so favorable for selling and shipping. Oats suffered a sharp decline all around, July the most. Weather conditions have been extremely favorable for the growing crop while the trade notes the poor demand for shipment, buyers waiting for new oats and buying only from hand to mouth. Cash sales, 103,000. PRODUCE MARKET. Chicago. June 7. The poultry market developed a weaker feeling. The Am.

Southern Pacific Railway company for April: Gross $10,334,295, inc. $1,671,572; net, $2,877,053; inc., $273. The increase in expenses resulted mostly from the continued congestion of traffic caused by the unprecedented storms and washouts in the month of March which added largely to the payment of overtime to employes per diem, charges for use of cars in that rate of per diem for rental of foreign cars and increase in station and yard forces due to the congestion. Also to expenses incidental to moving an increased traffic the high price of fuel and an increase In wage schedule. Mr. Armour talks When one has a lot of money In anything he naturally believes in it," said J. Ogden Armour, who returned this morning from a two months rest in Europe. This answer was called forth by an inquiry about his connection with the Chicago subway. He refused to talk, saying that he had not been home long enough to know what was going on. La Salle street has it that they have advanced $4,000,000 on three year notes of the subway company at 6 per cent for extensions and other work and that Armour has bought the Kuhn, Loeb inter est in subway. The connections are to be made and all unfinished work rushed through. This will put the subwav in a position where It can be placed upon a paying basis. It is one of the reports that Mr. Armour is to be either president or chairman of the board of directors. On this point he refused to talk, but those close to him say he will not appear as an official of the subway company. It is one of the rumors that President Wheeler is to retire as the head official. Mr Wheeler is due in Chicago from New York tomorrow. THE RICKSHAW AND DANDY. Primitive Modes of Travel Country of India. in Hill In the mountain districts of India the principal vehicles of passenger conveyance are the 'rickshaw and the "dandy," with which Rudyard Kipling has made us familiar. United States Consul Gen. Michael, of Calcutta, writes thu3 about these vihicles: "The rickshaw is pushed and pulled through the streets and on the roads leading out into the country by four coolies, and the 'dandy' is carried on the Ehoulders of four and sometimes six coolies. Saddle ponies are also used to some extent but most of the inhabitants and quite all visitors used the 'rickshaw and 'dandy. The latter 13 constructed on the plan of a sleigh box, but longer. A pole is attached fore and aft, which is long enough to give a springy motion when the coolies are walking and trotting. A cross piece rests on the shoulders of the coolies and Is shifted now and then from one shoulder to the other for rest. By the command of the coolie In charge this shift is made simultaneously. As a rule, both the 'rickshaws and the 'dandies' are heavier than they need to be, and they are general ly lacking in finish. Yet these vehicles cost as much as light and strong ones well finished should cost. The writer would like to place alongside of the 'rickshaws and 'dandles' in use in In dia some samples manufactured in the United States after designs made by an American designer. The sara pies would attract orders." Hot Very "Spirited' Wine. To sare his home and belongings, Joseph Benjamin, of 710 North Eleventh street, broke open three barrels of home-made wine In the little court In the rear of his house and threw the contents on flames which threatened three buildings with destruction. The wine did the work as effectively as water and when firemen arrived danger had been averted. Philadelphia North American.
