( A NEW THING IN TICKETS A SOUTHERN ROAD INTRODUCES A RADICAL CHANGE IN FORM. Gratifying Exhibits of Business Done Last Month Over the Rett Road and by the Local Lines. + One of the Florida roads yesterday placed cn sale a ticket entirely different in its features from any now sold in the United States. The ticket is much similar to that described recently in the Journal, and used _ on railways of Switzerland. It is an entirely new feature and promises to be very popular with traveling salesmen and people who tiavel a good deal. The ticket entitles the purchaser to travel for one month, three months, six months, nine months and one year, travel during' the periods named being entirely unlimited. The price is graduated according to the length of time for which the ticket is purchased, as follows: One month, SSO; three months, $100; six months, $175; nine months, $262.50; and twelve months. $350. The ticket will contain a description of the purchaser, his place of residence, age, weight, height, color of eyes, and color of hair. In addition to this, It Is necessary that an unmounted photograph, not exceeding three by three inches, and not less than two and a half by two and a half inches, shall accompany the application. The ticket is in the shape of a small folder of convenient size, the outside being imitation leather. The picture will bo placed just above the description of the purchaser. The contract which the purchaser is required to sign, and which is a part of the ticket, stipulates that the ticket shall not be transferable, that the owner is entitled to travel only between regular scheduled stopping places of regular passenger trains, that baggage (wearing apparel) to the extent of 150 pounds will be carried free of charge, and in the event of loss or damage to baggage no claim shall be made except for wearing apparel, the liability for which is limited to SIOO, besides such other regulations as are usually made by transportation companies. Inveatl (ration at Chicago. The Interstate-commerce Commission met in Chicago yesterday and discussed the question of the alleged disturbances in passenger rates by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company. All the members of the commission were present, Martin A. Knapp presiding. The United States Circuit Court room, where the commission met, was filled with railroad representatives from several States, who gave evidence on which the commission will base Its conclusion. During the afternoon a lively tilt was occasioned by the proposal of the American roads to introduce in evidence against the Canadian Pacific a letter written by Sir William Van Horne, president of the Canadian Pacific, in which the writer laid down the proposition that Canadians meant to keep Canada for themselves and that the interests of the Canadian Pacific demand that American roads should be excluded. The letter was admitted as evidence after a hard fight. During the afternoon General Passenger Agent Eustlce, of the Burlington road, was on the stand, replying to questions relating to the demoralization in rates to Alaska. He was in the witness chair when an adjournment was taken and will be there when the hearing is resumed to-morrow. No evidence of importance was obtained from him. Belt Road Traffic. Business over the Belt road last month was the largest of any July in the twenty years’ existence of the road, the transfers last month re-aching 74.833, against 69.179 cars in July, 1897. Belt road engines handled at the stock yards 5.324 carloads of stock, against 4.595 in July, 1897, and for private switches on its line 3.655 loaded cars, against 2,964 in July, 1897. Personal. Local and General Notes. The Cotton Belt Railroad Company yesterday opened Its line to Dallas, Tex. The Big Four will on Sunday run an excursion from Indianapolis to Louisville. Wm. Cannon, secretary of the Union Railway Company, is so ill as to confine him at home. There were loaded and unloaded at the city freight depots of the Big Four in July €.873 cars. Official denial Is made that the Baltimore 6 Ohio reorganization is to be effected without foreclosure. Last month there were handled on the Big Four proper 121,343 loaded cars, against 118,538 in July, 18W. in the month of July there were handled on the Peoria & Eastern lines 12,681 loaded cars, against 15,366 In July, 1597. The Pennsylvania Is not the only svstem of roads that is now practicing rigid economy. The Big Four yesterday dropped a number of men temporarily. Superintendents Galloway, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, and Parker, of the Monon. were In the city yesterday to confer about time schedules. On Thursday last a train of five cars was hauled on the Western New York & Pennsylvania road, from East Aurora to Eben•zer, eleven miles, in nine minutes. Aug. 20 has been fixed upon its the day for the foreclosure sale of the Ohio Southern. Eight per cent, of the holders of the old bonds favor the reorganization plan. The gross earnings of the Northern Paoillc, in spite of its passenger rate war, for the first six mouths of this year were 35 per cent, ahead of those of the corresponding period of 1897. 4 An idea of the business done at the cereaie mills is shown in the official statement

of cars delivered and shipped from this plant in July, reaching an average of eigh-ty-two loaded cars. The official report of Charles Stilz. general ticket agent at the Union Station, shows the receipts from sales of tickets last month to have been $14,621.67 in excess of those of July, 1897. Engine 158, on the Vandalia, yesterday hauled Train 20. consisting of eight cars, including three Pullman cars, from Greencastle to Indianapolis, a distance of thirtyeight miles, in thirty-eight minutes. The stockholders of the Indiana, Illinois & lowa will meet Sept. 15 to vote on consolidation with an allied line thirty-five miles in length, and on the issuing of $3,000,C00 fiftyyear 5 per cer t. gold consolidated mortgage bonds. J. M. Fleming, Jr., passenger agent of the Florida Central & Peninsular Railway, was yesterday transferred to Tampa, and J. F. Martin has been appointed traveling freight agent of the road with headquarters at Mobile. The coal traffic of the Chicago & Indiana Coal road, the coal line of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, was 40 per cent, heavier last month on tonnage of block coal than in July, 1897, and this month the increase bids fair to be more marked. James McCtea, first vice president of the Pennsylvania Company, last night went to Louisville, and to-day, in company with Bushrod Taylor, the new superintendent of the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines, will inspect that division. The Unßed States Investor, in speaking of the improved conditions with the Wabash, says the road is blessed with a good management and will gain considerable advantages through a connection with the Missouri Pacific, whereby it gets an outlet to Denver. The Georgia Southern & Florida Railway has placed an order for three complete new passenger trains to be delivered by Sept. 1. The war has proved of great benefit to the southern roads and the management tire investing the money earned liberally in new equipment. C. F. Daly, general passenger agent of the Lake Erie & Western, states that their passenger business last month was the heaviest in any July of some years past, in fact, their passenger earnings every month the present year have shown an increase over corresponding months of 1897. The presence of a large force of Pennsylvania engineers, for a week past, between Portage and Wilmore has given rise to a statement that important changes are to be made in the grade of the old Portage road, so as to get the best route for a proposed auxiliary line over the mountain. The Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines, the Monon, the Big Four and the Evansville & Terre Haute, in connection with the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, have in the last six weeks made fine records in the handling of shipments of fruits and vegetables to Northern markets. The trains carrying perishable freights have often been run on passenger train schedules. P. J. lenders, who yesterday became general roadmaster of the Wisconsin Central’s main line division, is said to be an unusually competent man. He was educated under M. W. Mansfield, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, and was in the line of promotion on the Pennsylvania, expecting in the near future to be called to Pittsburg. but decided that this was a good opening for him. George Rech. in charge of the outside ticket office of the Pennsylvania lines and of the Vandalia, says the receipts from sales of tickets over the Panhandle for July were 32 per cent, larger than in July, 1897. The company’s business to the seashore and to Michigan points was the largest in many years. The Vandalia exhibit is not so favorable, but still an increase is shown over July last year. Cale Kirby, the oldest engineer in time of service on the Big Four lines, died quite suddenly on Sunday at St. Louis, but a few minutes before he was to take out his train. Mr. Kirby ran the engine which hauled the first passenger train from Terre Haute to St. Louis on the St. Louis, Alton & Terre Haute road, now the St. Louis division of the Big Four. His service on that division dates back nearly thirty-nine years. Frank Boyd, switch tender of the Pittsburg Fort Wayne & Chicago at Woods Run, Is said to have the most beautiful business home on the Pennsylvania lines. His switchhouse is literally covered with morning glories, red. white and blue in color, and the surroundings of the switchhouse are a mass of beautiful flowers. Royd was in the w r ar of the rebelion and lost an arm, but he is considered one of the most reliable switch tenders on the line. Anew company, composed of the bondholders of the Finance Company of Pennsylvania, bought the Ohio River Charleston Railroad yesterday for $89,010. The purchasing committee was Messrs. Sam Hunt, Cincinnati, 0.. Simon A. Stern and John G. Collier, of Philadelphia. President Hunt bid *in the property for the finance company. He was the only bidder. From good authority it is said that the road will he finished to the Tennessee line as soon as possible. The sale was made at Charleston, S. C. ONLY ONE COUNCILMAN THERE All the Rest Away on a Junket to Detroit. On account of the city officials’ Junket to Detroit there was but one member of the City Council present last night when the meeting time arrived. This was Councilman Smith, of the First ward. Clerk Stuckmeyer called the roll, and on motion of Councilman Smith the session was adjourned. Postne’s Rnn Land Abstract. The abstract for the park land along Pogue’s run was turned over to City Controller Johnson yesterday. The tract which is owned by the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company and George Yandes includes 81.05 acres. The city is to pay $25,000 for the land. BOARD OF WORKS ROUTINE. An Alley Petition.

The New York stock market held firm yesterday against several adverseinfluencesand showed greatly Improved demand In the later dealings. The supply of American stocks left in the foreign exchanges has become so much reduced and dealings in them are so insignificant there that little account w r as taken of the fact that London was closed for its hank holiday. Railroad stocks, in the early dealings at New York, continued to suffer from the neglect which has recently made the market almost stagnant. The bears availed themselves of the quietude to make an aggressive attack, directing their efforts chiefly against Brooklyn Transit and Rubber preferred, because these stocks have recently gone up sharply and there were known to be heavy speculative commitments to the long side in them. There was, besides, a disposition to take profits so that prices shaded off easily and uncovered stop-loss orders. People's Gas was also subjected to vigorous attack and was sold down to 98. The motive offered for selling Brooklyn Transit was the fear that the profitable traffic over the Brooklyn bridge would be interfered with to allay public apprehension regarding the strain on the bridge. The speculation in sugar was also very feverish, though the price did not get away from 139. The bears, in addition, had reports that the rains in the West had come too late to prevent serious harm to the corn crop. Prices fell quite materially below Saturday’s close, under this combined attack, but inside support was forthcoming in the stocks which were most severely effected and the shorts were driven to cover, making the recovery in these stocks almost complete. Os the grangers, Rock Island and Burlington, the distinctively corncarrying roads, rose from 1 to 1% from the lowest, and the Southwesterns, as a group, were strong. The Rubber stocks closed today w’ith gains of 1% and 2%, respectively. New York Air Brake, Pacific Mail, Lead and Tobacco were strong features all day. The stock market was also materially aided by the increased demand for bonds in the afternoon, in which there was active business, especially In the 4 per cent bonds of lately reorganized roads and the junior issues which are gaining in security from the recent increases in earnings. Total sales. $2,120,000. Government bonds were strong on the peace prospects, although this factor had only a small influence in stocks. The new government threes advanced to anew high level, allotments of subscriptions selling at 104%. United States fours, both the new and old issues, advanced %; the threes, when Issued, %, and the fives, registered, % per cent, in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W.

VISIBLE WHEAT SHORT DECREASE IN THE SUPPLY LENDS COIR AGE TO THE BILLS. a All Grain on Chicago Market Scores Fractional Gains—Provisions on the Decline. a CHICAGO, Aug. I.—A decrease In the visible supply to-day, together with a rallj’ in corn, strengthened wheat. September closed %c higher and December rose tc. September corn advanced %c. Oats left off %c better. Pork is unchanged. Lard lost £%@oc, and ribs are 2%c lower. Wheat was depressed in the first part of the session by the fine progress being made with the cutting of the spring wheat and the commencement already of deliveries from the new crop. Minneapolis received 9 cars new spring wheat, and there were about 15 carloads offered and sold in the sample market here. The visible supply decreased 289,690 bu, compared with an increase of 1,782.000 bu the corresponding week last year. Primary market receipts were still much below those at the similar period of last year. Shorts grew nervous when thi- became known and covered freely. It took a strong com market, however, to infuse a little more buying spirit into the wheat crowd, and, getting that about an hour from the close, September, which had sold as low as 63%c, recovered to 64%c about fifteen minutes from the end. Chicago received 188 cars, against 248 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth got 217 cars, all but one car of which were received at Minneapolis. The Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were 292,000 bu. September opened higher, at 64V4<564%c, rose to ®4H C sold off to 63%c, then recovered to asked at the close. December began %c up, at 64%@64%e, firmed up to 64%c, declined to 63%@63%c, and advanced to 64® 64%c, the closing price. Continuance of rains throughout the West, where drought had been feared, started corn easy. The bullish ardor suffered in consequence, and short sellers were emboldened to increase their lines. The pit was well tilled with offerings, and this, in addition to a rather tame demand early, forced prices off. Near the close of the session the decline was more than recovered on influential buying by bulls under the conviction that the rains had come too late to remedy the damage already done. September began % ©%c down, at declined to 32%® 32%c, then firmed up to asked at the close. Unfavorable crop reports, accompanied with buying orders from the country, caused the firmness in oats. Early the market was sold off by professionals, but later the decline was more than recovered. September opened %c higher, at 20%c, rose to 20%<§21c, declined to 2(>%c, then recovered to 207 8 c. Provisions started easy on selling by packers, and ruled dull nearly all day. Toward the end of the session prices recovered with the closing rally in corn. Septemebr pork started 2*4(gsc lower, at $9.35® 9.3716, up to $9.40, declined to $9.35, then rallied to $9.4714, the closing figure. The range in lard and ribs was inconsequential.
