THE MONON NOT WANTED THE f .. H. & D. THE NATURAL ALLY OP THE C., I. & L. ROAD. Manager Waldo AiljaM* the Grievances! of the Teieitrnph Operators —Gcnerul and Personal. A Within the last sixty days the Big Four Company has, on rumors, been absorbed by the New York Central; then it has purchased the Baltimore & Ohio and the Monon, all of which proved false, intervening between these reports was one that President Ingalls had at last succeeded in securing control of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, which would really be desirable for the Big Four, but this report proved without foundation, and now the second time comes the rumor that the Big Four had secured control of the Monon, which statement has been again officially denied. There is no question as to President Ingalls having a desire to secure control of the tained on anything like reasonable terms, but the mere rumor that he was seeking control ol that line led to an advance in the stock.-jThreo years ago the Big Four could have njore easily secured control of the Chicago* &. Eastern Illinois than now. At that tinSc President Ingalls and the capitalists associated with him took exceptions to the enormous debt which hangs over the road, and the situation has not been improved by the late issue of over a million dollars of common stock Much is heard about the terminals that the Monon anti the through the Chicago cfc Western Indiana, but the facts a*e that the terminals the Big Four now enjoys through tne Illinois Central are far to any others in Chicago. Still, the belief prevails that, should opportunity otter for the Big B'our to se•cure control of the Chicago He Eastern Illinois, it will act promptly in the matter, as twice negotiations have been pending looking to such a result, but were frustrated in seme manner. M. E. Ingalls, president of tne Big B’our, is quoted us saying that “if there was any road that the Dig B'our did not want it was the Monon. It wouut be of no avail as to terminals, as tne Big B’our terminals at the same points are tar supetior to those ol the Monon.” Another railway official, in speaking of the matter, said the natural combination for the Monon whs the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Queen & Crescent, and as the Woodford syndicate is interested in the three, such a consolidation will at no distant day be realized. Persona I, Local and General Notea. J. C. Gentry has been appointed agent of the Vandalia at Harmony, lnd. The time limit on the Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking plan of reorganization has been extended to July 16. The Big B'our lines proper in June, 1898, handltd on the system 19,292 more loaded cars than in June. 1897. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is building a fine steel bridge across the Illinois river at Bgardstown. James McCTea, first vice president of the Pennsylvania lines, is on a Western trip. He was in Chicago yesterday. The official report of the Big Four shows that at the city freight depots in June 2,849 cars were loaded and 3,992 unloaded. The National Association of Railway Surgeons will begin its annual meeting at Toronto on Wednesday, to continue tnree days. \ Wm. D. Cornish, of St. Paul, assumed the duties of first vice president of the Union Pacific, and will have his headquarters at New York. It is said the Illinois Steel Company has secured control of the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern, which extends from their plant to South Chicago. ‘ The Queen & Crescent has made ample arrangements to carry to Chattanooga at low rates all the G. A. R. people who will attend the encampment at Cincinnati. B\ H. Tristram, central passenger agent of the Wabash line, yesterday buried his mother at Marion, O. Mr. Tristram's parents are among the oldest and most respected citizens of central Ohio. Employes on Western lines who are paid by checks monthly will not get their pay as promptly as usual this month, as the roads have not been able, as yet, to get the revenue stamps required for such checks. The Central Ohio Coal and Coke Company, organized thirty days ago, is already in danger of disruption on account of the failure of certain railroad companies in the association to tjnaintain their agreementa An order has been issued for the sale at fcieclosure of the Ohio Southern road. This is the second-attempt to dispose of the road in this manner, and the attorneys interested say that this time the road will be sold. M. F. Long, agent of the Lake Erie & Western at Lafayette, is so much of an invalid that he has been taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital to be cared for. He has lost the use of his lower limbs and gets about in an invalid rolling chair. Horace Reardon yesterday succeeded N. K. Bhliott as general superintendent of the Toledo, Detroit & Milwaukee. Mr. Reardon was formerly superintendent of the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis. Mr. Bllliott will go West to engage in commercial pursuits. The executive board of the new Southwestern Passenger Bureau consists of General Passenger Agents Townsend, of the Missouri Pacific; Barker, of the Missouri Kansas & Texas. Winched, of the St. Ixiuis it San Francisco, and Le Beaum, of the Cotton Belt. The rate war between the American lines and the Canadian Pacific has reached such a stage that the Nickel-plate, the West Shore and othtir lines, in meeting the Canadian Pacific rates, are not getting to exceed five-eighths of a cent per mile for carrying passengers. General Manager Hutchinson, of the Pennsylvania, is proving a valuable man for the parent line in that position He has ju-d completed a trip over the road, carefully inspecting the property and conversing with leading citizens at the more important points as to the manner their business was looked after, and asking if any reforms could be suggested to better the service. He reports that very few complaints were made of the facilities for handling business. The actual amount of new' track laid in IS9B up to date, says the Railway Age, is 1,181.60 miles. This is more than has been laid in the first six months of any year since 1892. In 1892—the last year of prosperity Ik fore the panic—the construction, up to June 30, was 1,367 miles. Slightly more than half the new track has been laid west of the Mississippi river. Os tLe remainder, laid east of the Mississippi, 138 milts only are north of the Ohio river and 357 miles south of the same line. P. A. Bonebrake began his work on the * ennsylvania lines as a telegraph operator, and has been so efficient that promotions nave eom fast. He will remove the clerical force of the late superintendent of the Indianapolis division to Columbus next '*: *’’•'**■ *' ,r Mansfield, as superintendent of the Indianapolis a- v mcennes, superintendent of terminal.*} at Indianapolis and engineer of maintenance of -ay of the Union tracks and Belt road, will be obliged to increase his force som* w hat. General Manager Waldo, of the Cineinfl.iti.. Hamilton <v Dayton, yesterday ended Ins conference with the telegraph operators as to pay time, etc., and. while the operators did not get what they demanded which meant an Increase in pay for that department of $35,000 a year, a set of rules governing employes as to what constituted a day s work was adopted, and in some { be pay of the operators advanced. I he demands of the men were carefully considered. and It was shown by General Mannger Waldo that they were in some respects unreasonable. The conference closed with between the operators and the officials. The Central Association of Railway Officials, which will hold Its annual convention In this city July 12-13, is a combined association of seven divisional associations of.opofficials of railways, the headquar-

ters of the divisions being at Columbus. Toledo. Cincinnati. Peoria. St. Louis. Kansas City and Indianapolis. Its province Is to regulate at the various terminals the interchange and other kindred matters between lines. It is a very important organization, from the fact that it controls and directs the car-service associations, and this central association in the last quarter handled one-e ghth out of a total of 3,717,161 cars, ,with average detention of 1.63 days. The board of directors of the Pullman Palace-car Company yesterday adopted resolutions for a quarterly dividend of $2 per share, payable after Aug. 15, and also a special dividend of s2h per share. The regular dividend to be hereafter declared on the capital stock should, in the opinion of the directors, be at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum. They also recommend that the surplus assets of the company to the extent of JIx.OOc.OOO, existing at the end of the current fiscal year, should be distributed to the stockholders of the company, and that for such purpose the capital stock should be increased to the sum of $54,000,000. and that the increase of stock should be issued to shareholders in the ratio of one share for each two held by them. The firmness with which officials of many of the roads are carrying out the restrictions against employes visiting saloons is effecting good results. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was the first organization to take the matter up, and Chief Arthur, of the brotherhood, says that in twenty-two years the percentage of men discharged for excessive use of liquor has decreased from 20 to 1 per cent., and further, as a result, where, twenty-five years ago. one railroad man owned his home there are ten who own homes and are pleasantly situated. More recently Grand Chief Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, has taken up the temperance question in that organization and the improvement has been more marked than with the engineers, as the efforts in that direction have been pushed more vigorously. BETTER TRADE OUTLOOK ♦ . ■■ BOTH CROPS AND INDUSTRIES POINT TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE. * Good Story In Decreased Failures This Year—Dun & Co.’s and Bradstreet's Reports. * NEW YORK. July 1.-R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade will say to-mor-row: The second quarter of the year closes with most encouraging returns. Failures have been a little larger than in the first quarter of the >ear, whereas a decrease of 6.2 per cent, might have been expected from experience of the past ten years, but, with that allowance, a difference of only $3,500,000 can be charged to war and fears of, war, whereas solvent payments through clearing houses for the quarter were over $15,600.000,000. In the very best years defaults range from an eighth to a fifth of 1 per cent, of such payments, and in bad times from a third to a half of 1 per cent, or more, but this year the proportion is less than a fifth. The quarterly statement given to-day shows an aggregate of $34,498,074, which is smaller than in the second quarter of any year since 1890, except one, and the average of liabilities to firms in business and to exchanges through clearing houses is also smaller than in any year except one of the past seven years. The exports of wheat continue extraordinary. During the week they have been, flour included, 4.006,890 bu from Atlantic ports, against 2,064,173 last year, and Pacific exports against 120,000 last year. This makes for' the crop year, with some minor ports yet to hear from, 217,871,960 bu exported of wheat, flour included, against 225,665,812 in 1892, the year of largest previous exports, but at the same time 211,452.253 bu of corn have gone out, against 76,602,285 bu in that year and 178.817,417 last year, which was much the largest on record. The market has been a little weaker, as is natural with abundant evidence of an enormous yield, notwithstanding all reports of injury, but cash w*heat has advanced to 85c. Corn has declined a fraction, although the demand for export is still beyond all precedent, and cotton is %c lower, at 6.25 c, owing to favorable reports as to the growing crop. It is judged by experts that about 90 per cent, of the cotton manufactory machinery' is now employed, and yet the demand for goods is strengthening. The heavy stocks carried abroad indicate less than the usual demand for goods there, as do the shipments from Great Britain. The demand tor wool has been almost wholly confined to needs for orders in hand, and, yet there is good reason to look for a better demand for goods as soon as the new season has opened, while with government contracts more than the usual proportion of machinery is employed, even at this dull season. Sales of wool have been only 3,011,200 pounds for the week at the three chief markets, and, for the month, 10,193,300 pounds, against 41,197,000 a year ago and 29,595.000 in 1892. The decrease in sales since the culmination of the speculation in February has been most remarkable. The Iron industry snows some decline in prices—in Bessemer pig. at Pittsburg, to $10.25, and in gray torge to $9. with only sll here and $11.25 at Philadelphia for No. 1 anthracite, while shipments during the week have been made from Birmingham to Hamburg, Rotterdam, Great Britain. Australia and Japan, though in the aggregate not large. But contracts for 12,000 tone steel rails have been placed at Chicago, and pending contracts there for structural work are estimated at 25,000 tons, while the demand for implement and car material is still beyond all precedent, and, in general, it may he said that the markets west of Philadelphia are remarkably strong, with scarcely any indications of decline in the demand for finished products. Minor metals are quiet. Tin plates are a shade weaker, at 3.80 c for full-weight American, the corresponding foreign grades growing small and stronger. Failures for the week have been 254 in the United States, against 241 last year, and 15 in Canada, against 30 last year. UradMreet’* Weekly Review. NF7W YORK, July I.—Bradstreet's to-mor-row will say: In a period as usual devoted largely to stock taking and with holiday and midsummer influences making for a narrow and restricted trade, there is little that is novel to be found regarding current distribution. The first half of the year closes with a very satisfactory showing possible m many lines of trade, as evidenced by the bank clearings, railroad earnings, reports as to consumptive and distributive demands, and last, but not least, by that infallible barometer of the mercantile world, business failures. Harbingers of the future are found in the generally favorable crop prospects, not only of eeieals, but of cotton. fruits and most products of agriculture, and a continued heavy foreign demand for American products. Few important events are chronicled this week in the business world. The semi-annual shut down of many industrial concerns, particularly those in iron and steel and glass and some textile manufacturing concerns, has been announced to occur in the first week in July, but this has been without much effect upon the* prices ol' those staples. Advices from the West indeed lead to the belief that this shut down in some cases may not occur at all this year, while in others the time devoted to repairs and stock taking will be considerably abridged. The situation in iron is a rather mixed one, most complaints coming from the West. It is significant, however, that the fall in coast freight rates has been credited with improving demand for iron and steel tor export and considerable orders have been already booked, notable some steel rails for Egypt and Mexico, while orders for 15.000 tons are reported refused on account of time limits set. The tone of the wheat market continues bearish notwithstanding that the world's visible supplies nave decreased 13.0WMXIU bushels in two weeks and that the probabilities are that visible stocks of old wheat on Aug. 1 will be as low, if not lower, than last year’s, which were the smallest on record for seven years. A heavy falling off in the condition of the Kansas wheat crop is indicated. In spite of unfavorable features there were fewer failures, smaller liabilities and consequently smaller assets this year than In any previous year for four years past. Business failures number 6.429. 8 per cent, fewer than a year ago. 15 per cent, less than two years ago and only 3 per cent larger than in 1593. Liabilities too are smaller, aggregating $72,120,341, 23 per cent, smaller than last year. 31 per cent, smaller than two years ago, 9.5 per cent, smaller than In 1895. and 57 per cent, below those of 1893. Business failures in the Dominion of Canada for the six months for the present year make a decidedly good showing. They number 513,, involving $5,799,643. a decrease of 24 per cent. In number and in liabilities as compared with last year and making still better comparisons with earlier periods.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1898.

FIRMER AT THE CLOSE STOCK MARKET MAKES A SUDDEN UP TURN IN THE LAST HOI R. Shorts Dil Not Core to Leave Their Deals Open Over the Holidays— Local Trade Outlook. At New York, yesterday, money on call was steady at K&lVa per cent.; last loan, 1% per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 3<Q4 per cent. Sterling exchange was easier with actual business in bankers bills at $4.85Wb4.8534 for demand, and at $4.54%@ for sixty days; posted rates, $4.85 and $4.86’/i; commercial bills, $4.83. Silver certificates, 58%<§59 %c; bar silver, 58%c; Mexican dollars, 45Vjc. At London bar silver closed quiet at 27 1 -s B cl an ounce. Total sales of stocks were 140,900 shares including the following: Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, 5.725; Manhattan, 13,401; Rock Island, 3,587; American Tobacco. 6,580; People’s Gas, 7,885; Pullman Palace, 6,943; Sugar. 29,850. The course of Friday’s stock market was one of aimless drifting until near the close when some appearance of animation and strength developed throughout the list. This was doubtless in large part due to the covering demand by belated shorts who did not care to leave their contracts open over the three holidays. The buying at the close lifted prices to the top level and made net gains oxtending to over a point in exceptional ifcases. During the earlier part of the day tee market was almost entirely stagnant, many active stocks showing not a single quotation. It looked very much as if even the closing up of contracts incident to the eve of a three-day suspension of trading had all been completed the day before, and there was no disposition to venture on fresh commitments on account of the conflicting possibilities in the outlook. On the part of the bears there was to he feared the effect of the probable fall of Santiago or the occupation of Manila. The possibility of serious ha.m to the crops at this critical stage kept operators from making engagements on the long side. There is some doubt felt as to how the money market will come through the taking up of the government loan. The announcement from Washington that subscriptions for small amounts already accepted foot up $40,006,000 indicates that the future strain on the money market will be eased by that much. It is confidently believed that the volume of small subscriptions by saving hanks depositors, who have held off to secure their half yearly interest, will be largely augmented between now and July 14. Among the special movements yesterday are lo he noted advances in all the Jbcal traction stocks in anticipation of good traffic returns for the approaching holiday. The price of Great Northern preferred, shorn of Its cash dividend and ils new stock privilege, was fixed at 125. This I is the equivalent of about five points advance over Thursday’s high record price of 186 with dividend and privileges on. The movement in Pullman which was quite erratic within a range of five points, reflected hopes and fears over the expected surplus distribution. The only feature of the bond market was an advance of 1% in Wisconsin Central firsts trust receipts. Total sales. $1,420,000. The following table, prepared by L. W.

Wholesale merchants enter July with expectations that the trade of the month will be handsomely in excess of any July of the last five years. They base this expectation on the improvement in business that came with the first half of the year and which has not been seriously affected by’ the war. Retail merchants are in better shape financially than for some years. Stocks are light and prices steady and firm. In prices jesterday there were no changes of importance. The local grain market is moving along in the rut of several days past, with receipts light, prices weak and dealers indifferent.

It was a crisis hour in the history of the Hebrew commonwealth when Solomon died. Tribal jealousies, popular discontent, threatened invasion, created a state of affairs calling loudly for a man of ability, patriotism and courage. To meet such a situation there came shambling out of the luxurious environment of the harem the shallow, effeminate, inexperienced Rehoboam, Solomon's only son. He went up to Shechem, to meet a body resembling the States-General of France before which Louis XIV appeared. The historic scenes, sundered by three thousand years, have some points in common. The Hebrew National Assembly was resolved that the new King should plight his faith as a constitutional monarch. Had be consented rebellion would have been nipped in the bud. There was a three days’ truce. The pause before a catastrophe is always solemn. Then came the King*s recklessly insolent answer, in which he threatened to add to his father's yoke. The cry arose, “To your tents, O Israel!'’ aptly called "the Hebrew Marseillaise." Even David's sacred name had lost its spell as the people cried, "See to thine own house, David!” Hebrew history parted into two streams that day, never to be reunited. Ten tribes, carrying with them two-thirds of the population and territory, flowed off into the channel of the kingdom of Israel, to continue for three centuries, until swallowed up in the Assyrian captivity. The tribes of Judah and Benjamin formed th 4 other stream of Hebrew life, flowing on for four hundred years until engulfed in the Babylonian captivity. x If Judah retained the temple and priesthood, Israel at least was graced with a galaxy of flaming prophets. In Bible story, the dreary incompetence of Rehoboam is offset by the brilliant genius of Jeroboam, the first King of Israel. He has been called the castle-builder of Israel. For twentytwo years, as far as valor and world wisdom is concerned, he proved himself worthy of his throne. His sin consisted in his following the principles of worldly policy too far. For reasons of state, he interfered with the fundamental principles of the Mosaic law, and divided the nation religiously as well as politically. He set up the "mutilated imitations of the cherubim" at Dan and Bethel. To keep the first commandment, he broke the second. He poisoned the stream of national life at its head. So the history of his kingdom is a history of decay. MOSAIC FROM COMMENTARIES. Children of Israel in Judah: Members of the other tribes settled within the limits of the land of Judah quietly submitted to Rehoboam.—Student's Commentary. Rehoboam: Means enlarger of his people; his was a contradiction of his name. Sent Adoram: Probably to make concessions; but it was too late.—Whittle. All Israel stoned him: The solemn act of the body of the people by their elders.—Carey. With this one exception, this was a bloodless revolution.—Stanley. Rehoboam made speed: The haughty answer and the sudden change to a more lenient policy mark the weak character of the new King.—Cambridge Bible. Man of God: Prevents civil war: leads an army of 180.000 to their homes. Compels Itehoboam to be content with Judah and Benjamin.—Whittle. THE TEACHER'S QUIVER. First—lt is an added stain on the character of Solomon that he did not train his son for statecraft, or, if he was incapable, did not find another to rule in his stead. Second—All the tokens of the impending national calamity, greatest in its history, were apparent before Solomon's death; yet he seems not to have planned to avert that calamity. Third—lsrael's demand for a mitigation of taxes was just. Excessive taxation is always dangerous. This is believed to be the chief source of the present popular unrest in France. Fourth—The very site of Jeroboam’s capital ought to have inspired him to faith, and led him to desist from policy and craft. On that si/t Abraham, the friend of God and father of the faithful, built his first altar in Canaan. Fisth —The true and safe course for one in public or private life is indicated in the lines: "Perish policy and cunning, Perish all that fears the light; Whether losing, whether winning. Trust in God, and do the right. Some will hate thee, some will love thee; Some will Hatter, some will slight. Cease from man. and look above thee: Trust in God, and do the right.” VITAL STATISTICS—JULY 1. BlrthN. Frances and Bert Litlerer, 17 West McCarty street, girl.

JUMP IN /JULY WHEAT NEWS OF CROP DISASTER KEPT SHORTS IN A PAMC ALL DAY. No One Hnl a Desire* to Maintain Open Account* Over tlic Double Holiday—Provisions Weaker. CHICAGO, July I.—Disastrous crop news, together with a great effort by shorts to cover, pending the double holiday, boomed wheat to-day. July closed at an advance of 3c and September gained 2%e. Corn shows a rise of %c. Oats left off at !-g(h%e higher. Pork and lard lost 2%0 each. Ribs declined sc. Wheat started firm on crop damage reports. The latter were around on the sidewalk before regular trading commenced and crowded out of sight a decline with which Liverpool started. The opening for September was at from 68%@68%e, as compared with 68%c at the close last night, and after a slight reaction to 68%c it became difficult to buy much except by bidding t.p the price, sellers being scarce. Some of the crop reports were quite alarming, in many cases reporting a total loss. The latter, it was claimed, was true as to large sections of the crop in the best wheat lands of the Southwest. The market was run by these reports, there 1 eing nothing else of a decidedly bullish or bearish character in the others of the day. Prices continued to advance until July reached 77%c, a gain of 4%C, and September advanced 2c, selling at 70%c. There were a good many reactions on the way up and the trade at times became rather excited. One important reason for strength was the great desire of shorts to cover pending the throe days' vacation, in connection with the uncertainty of crop conditions and the possibility of a wild bulge in the meantime. Speculation was noticeably curtailed by the working of the new war law. It makes it harder for commission men to execute orders and wider fluctuations are the result. The following resolution in regard to the war revenue provision. as it applies to the brokers, commission men and scalpers, was adopted by the board of directors of the Board of Trade: "Resolved, That, in regard to the provisions of the revenue law of 1898. applicable to transactions at the Exchange Hail of the Board of Trade of the city of Chicago, it is the recommendation of the board 01 directors that a uniform memorandum of sale be used, to be delivered by the seller to the buyer, and that the secretary be authorized to suggest to the members of the board such form of memorandum of sale, to which the adhesive stamps, according to law, may be affixed.” Chicago received 5 cars; Minneapolis and Duluth together, 52. Atlantic exports of wheat and flour were equal to 694,000 bushels. July opened higher, at 73c, rose to 77%c, then reacted to 76%c at the close. September started up, at 66%(&66vgc, sold off to 66%®66%c, then rallied to 70%e, asked, the closing price. Offerings in the corn pit were light, and gocKl demand from prominent professionals forced the advance. Prices were also strengthened by the rally in wheat. July opened Vfe&’-tc higher, at 31%@31%c, advanced to 34%c, then sold off to 32%c, the closing price. Oats followed the other advances in grain. July began unchanged to MtC higher, at 21 3 gC, rose to 22c, then declintd to 2,1 foe biu, at the close. Light deliveries and the advance in coarse grains strengthened provisions. July pork opened 2%c higher, at $9.47%, rose to $9.50, then declined to $9.42% at the close. The range in lard and ribs was narrow. Estimated receipts for to-morrow —Wheat, 12 cars; corn, 385 cars; oats, 155 cars; hogs, 15,000 head. All exchanges and the Board of Trade w T ill be closed to-morrow and Monday.

BOSTON, July I.—The Boston Commercial Bulletin will say to-morrow of the wool market: Tii* market continued grudgingly slow of sales. Dealers report that a better tone to trade \s perceptible, but this is the best that can be said of the situation. Offers have undoubtedly been made by manufacturers for stock in both the local market and certain Western sections, but figures have been too low in nx/st cases to land the wool. The continuance of an apathetic trail/* in the local market is considered in a favorably light by those dealers whose hojss of breakhla the high range of prices in the West have not yet been extinguished. Local trading has again been of light volume and has been principally IP fleece and territory wools. Renewed activity in half-blood stock has been ex]/crienced at th Higher range of quotations. The sales of the week are; 991,000 lbs domestic and 508,500 foreign, against 1,107,000 domestic and 440,5(8) foreign last week and 5,001,000 domestic and 4,084,000 foreign for the same week last year. The sales to data show an Increase of 47,907,2(8) lbs domestic an/$ 82,451,100 foreign over the sales to the same /late in 1897.
