on  the  roan  was  made  with  i  he  eastward  bound 
train  by  locoinoflve  No.  3S6,  In  charge  of  Frederick 
H.  Hortsman,  engineer,  and  C.  M.  Walelgb,  fire¬ 
man.  'I'he  train  left  P.vraeuse  ntly-sevcn  minutes 
late,  and  arrived  In  Albany  three  minutes  ahead 
of  card  time,  the-  train  having  struck  its  regular 
time  at  Pcnenectady.  The  run  from  wyracuae  to 
Utica,  dlstanee  Dfty-three  miles,  was  made  in  six¬

It  Is  seen  that  the  run  front  Syracuse  to  Albany,

eighteen  mlnutos.  Deduenng  from  this  Hcvenioen

A  Chicago  correspondent,  speahiiig  of  trade

plus  of  loanable  funds.  Discounts  at  the  rate  of  7 
^  cent.  lor  no  days  are  reported— a  thing  almost 
unknown  before  In  the  Northwest.  One  or  tlie 
causes  ascribed  is  that  Presidential  yeai's  ai  e  al¬ 
ways  bad  for  business.  The  faniiei's,  however, 
have  sold  their  products  for  fair  prices,  and  are  of
