Stuck and Investment Keonrltica Examined Free of Charge. Traders* Building, : : Chicago CHANGES ON THE B. & 0. THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP FACIVICS WIDESPREAD INTEREST. Annual Report of President Thomas, of the Monon, Shown an Inereane of $107,311 in Net Earnings. Not only among: railroad men, but In business circles, was the reported deal by which the Baltimore & Ohio is to change ownership discussed yesterday. A promirent railway official said this Is the first time Western capitalists have taken any part in the ownership or control of ihe lines between the Atlantic coast and Chicago, "and it means,” he added, “that anew era Is dawning with the railways, and unless New York and New England capitalists wake up to the situation some of the trunk lines will be controlled by Chicago capital. Instead of that of Eastern investors.” He expressed the opinion that this was but the beginning of the changes in the railroad map in trunk line and Central Traffic Association territory; he thought the Southern Railway Company would secure control of the Norfolk & Western lines, which have come to the front rapidly in the last two years. "The Louisville & Nashville,” he said "is getting uneasy, and should it reach north over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the Evansville & Terre Haute no one need be surprised. I predict that three of the big railroad companies will own most of the roads in Central Traffic Association t* rrltory before 1900.” An important move was made yesterday toward hastening the ■reported Baltimore & Ohio deal. Suit was brought in the United States Circuit Court, at Baltimore, for the foreclosure of the consolidated mortgage on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad held by the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company. The mortgage was executed on Dec. 1, 1887, and covered the entire line of railroad of the Baltimore & Ohio; all lands and tenements on*>he line of railroad, except those occupied in Baltimore as general offices; all the rolling stock, tools, and implements; the first mortgage bonds of the Wheeling. Pittsbuhg & Baltimore Railroad Company, and rentals, tolls, profits etc., to be derived. The effect of the foreclosure proceedings is to put the reorganization managers in a position to go ahead with their plans, whether all the stockholders consent or not. Oscar G. Murray, coreceiver for the Baltimore & Ohio Ranroad. passed through Columbus yesterday In his private car. He declined to submit to an interview, but confirmed the statement made by E. R. Bacon, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad, regarding the control of the Baltimore & Ohio.

Monan's Annnnl Report. Samuel Thomas, president of the Chicago. Indianapolis & Louisville, has completed his annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, showing the following results from operating this line, as compared with the previous year: Year June 30. 1897-08. 1896-97. Increase. Earnings $3,323,671 $2,902,760 $420,911 Expenses 2,356,007 2,<M2,437 313,570 Net $967,664 $569,323 $107,311 Charges 953,572 1.009,783 ♦56,211 Surplus $14,092 **5149,460 $163,552 Other income... 75.037 74,400 637 Total surplus. $89,129 **575,060 $164,189 •Decrease. **Deficit. The Monon annual report shows that the company sold $1,116,250 preferred stock at SSO per share, and the proceeds, $334,375, are In bank. The company received $489,000 from the reorganization committee for improvements, and a sum of $594,701 was expended on this account to Dec. 31. 1897. Current liabilities are $1,012,092, and cash assets sl,291,942. Voluntary Relief. R. F. Smith, superintendent of the Pennsylvania voluntary relief department, yesterday issued his official-bulletin for August, which shows but one death from accident and five from natural causes, on which $4,250 was disbursed in benefits. In disablement benefits, on account of accident, $6.was disbursed; on account of sickness, $8,080.81), making a total of $18,740.05 paid out during the month to 976 persons. It is a matter of surprise that with the heavy business the road did in August there was such an exemption from injuries by accident. Since July 1, 1889, the association has pail out $2 0,757.19 in death benefits from accident, $626,697.78 in death benefits from natural causes, $600,610.u5 in disablement benefits from accident and $744,240 in disablement benefits from sickness. A total of $2,172,306.02 has been paid since the association was formed, and during the time 99,('22 employes, or. in case of death, their legal heirs, drew benefits. Personal, Local and General Hotel, On Sunday the Big Four handled on its system seven, theatrical troupes. The roads centering at Fort Worth have arranged for the building of a union station to cost $175,000. Ia Eastern and Western railroad circles the Big Four is looked upon as the most aggressive line in the Middle States. F. L. Campbell, trainmaster of the Peoria division of the Vandalia line*, is confined to his bed with muscular rheumatism. On Sunday the American Express Comam' brought west for the races at TeriJ

Haute and Louisville nine carloads of fast horses from New England and New York. M. W. Mansfield, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes road, to-day goes to Pittsburg to be away most of the week. F. V. S. Cro by has been appointed treasurer of the Union Pacific vice James Harris, resigned, after holding the position thirty years. The Wells & French Car Company, of Chicago, yesterday commenced on a contract to build 500 cars, 60,000 pounds capacity, lor the Grand Trunk; 9o numerous were the students en route to educational institutions yesterday that some of the roads found tt necessary to put on special baggage cars. As in Indiana, the Illinois State law against ticket scalping is inoperative, although if enforced in either State it is said it would end scalping of tickets. The coal operators on the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City are getting out but fifty carloads of coal a day. Two of the most important mines are shut down on account of strikes. The big Pittsburg freight engines on the Vandalia. hauling thirty cars of live stock or perishable freight, will run forty miles an hour most of the distance between St. Louis and Indianapolis. It is stated that M. F. Bonanzo, who last week tendered his resignation as superintendent of the Columbus, Sandusky &. Hocking. is to take a position on one of the Northwestern lines. The Columbus shops are turning out three new passenger coaches for the Panhandle lines a month and they are credited with being the best cars in their construction in use on Western lines. The general managers of the roads comprising the Union Railway Company will meet to-day. As there ms been no meeting for two months it is expected that all the lines will be represented. The Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City earned $47,336 In the second week of September, an increase over the corresponding week of 1887 of SSBO. The first half of the month tfie earnings increased $2,460. Samuel Sweet, general freight agent of the Lake Erie & Western, and J. W. Smith, agent of the Erie fast freight lines, have gone to Cincinnati to attend the meeting of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite. The Big Four yesterday received from the Richmond locomotive works a large consolidated freight engine, simple type, and on Thursday will receive from the same works a consolidated engine of the compound type. In the fraternity of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen the opinion prevails that J. J. Hannahan will be elected as grand chief of the order, succeeding F. P. Sargent, and that F. W. Arnold will be re-elected secretary and treasurer. Officials of Indianapolis lines are much gratified that through the weeks of heavy travel in this section not a passenger has teen killed or injured, and the Big Four and the Pennsylvania lines, the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Monon have been carrying as many people as in tiie year of the world’s fair. Eastern papers are commenting favorably on the Evansville & Terre Haute again becoming a dividend-paying road. Without question the road was never better managed and its paying a dividend is interesting as indicating that the general prosperity iias not been enjoyed alone by the large and more prominent roads. The Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad will be sold not later than November. A decree will be asked for at the present term of court in Toledo, and there will be no opposition. The reorganization committee has given this out, and says no trouble is being had to gather in the assessments. The receiver will be discharged early in January. There are 725 miles of main line in the Lake Erie & Western system proper, and but few roads in the country make as even earnings from year to year. Its gross earnings for the year ending Dec. 31. 1897, were $3,439,396; I**6, $3,344,273; 1895, $3,519,104; 1894, $3,345,403; 1593, $3,512,620, and in its net earnings the exhibit is fully as striking, being as follows: 1897, $1,463,282; 1896, $1,427,015; 1895, $1,602,961; 1894, $1,479,562; 1893, $1,463,878. P. A. Bonebrake, superintendent of the Indianapolis division of the Panhandle, has become well settled in his new position. He states that notwithstanding the heavy traffic of two months since he was promoted there has been no friction and the relations between the officials of the division and the trainmen are of the pleasantest character. The Brown merit system has seemingly been shelved, Mr. Bonebrake having a system of discipline which he thinks better. The Pennsylvania has abandoned the collection of 10-cent excess fare from trainpaying passengers on account of the internal revenue commissioner’s decision that the rebate check requires a stamp. The Chicago & Alton has the advantage over most other roads. Passengers must show their tickets before they can go through the gates to the train, and no one is more pleased over the plan than the passenger conductors, they now having no anxiety lest their positions be jepordized by a spotter. For over one hundred miles east of Chicago the Lake Shore lias locust posts and woven wire distributed to be put up and inside of six months the road from Chicago limits to Cleveland will be inclosed by a neat, safe, practical and economical fence of galvanized wire. The Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago and the Panhandle are also fencing their main line in the same manner. It is estimated that within the next twelve months ten thousanu miles of fencing of this discription will be erected. The stockholders of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville will nold their anneal meeting in this city to-morrow. There have been so many rumors as to the road changing hands that whether there mil be any change in the board of directors is a matter of some interest. It is understood that John Greenough. who has been a director of the company for many years, will retire, as he is retiring from all business so that he may have no occasion to worry over the flucutations of railroad properties. E. W. McKenna, formerly superintendent of the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis, says that hie process of making over steel rails is a complete success, and the mill for that purpose at Joliet, 111., although a large establishment is inadequate to do the work offered. The general presumption has been that rails lose by use a considerable portion of their metal, rendering them incapable of being used again. The fact is proved, however, that the rail** lose only a very small proportion of their metal, only becoming unserviceable from the displacement of the metal on the tread of the rail, the usual loss not averaging more than one pound per yard—that is. a rail of seventy-five pounds section or seventy-five pounds per yard, and weighing originally 750 pounds, on being removed from the track will have lost but one to two pounds of metal per yard, the "scrap” rail accordingly weighing from 730 to 740 pounds. But in this most recent, or McKenna, process of producing such rails, a further reduction of section fsi made in the manipulation of the rail, equaling two and one-half to three and one-half pounds per yard; and thus it is that a rail of sev-enty-five pounds section, after having served its original life, can be renewed, weighing seventy pounds to the yard—from two to five of such renewals, in fact, being practicable.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1898.

A REACTION IN STOCKS MARKET STARTED STRONG, HIT SOON FELL UNDER BEAR ATTACKS. Money Market Attracting More Attention than Shares in Wall Street —Local Trade Active. At New York yesterday money on call was firm at 4@4% per cent.; last loan, 4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4@5 per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.83%@4.84 for demand and at $4.81%@4.82% for sixty days; posted rates, $4.83*4 and $4.83%; commercial bills, $4.85. Silver certificates, 60%@61%c; bar silver, 60# 60%c; Mexican dollars, 47%c At London bar silver closed firm at 28 3-16d an ounce. Total sales of stocks, 398,400 shares, including 5,392 Atchison preferred, 3,800 Baltimore & Ohio, 10,400 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, 3,700 Louisville & Nashville, 5,470 Manhattan, 7,285 Reading preferred. 5,700 Missouri Pacific, 37,200 Northern Pacific, 7,507 Northern Pacific preferred, 10,590 Union Pacific, 14,845 St. Paul, 15,430 Union Pacific preferred, 21,900 Tobacco, 9,255 Chicago Great Western, 8.900 People's Gas. 5,370 General Electric, 146,400 Sugar, 3.458 Rubber. The New York stock market started off yesterday morning as if it had shaken off the incubus of the recent tight money scare, but the marked weakness of Sugar, which made up two-fifths of the total transactions, unsettled the tone early and carried prices below Saturday's level. The decline was quite steady and general fpr the remainder of the day. Evidently last week’s sharp recovery was the result of extensive covering of short lines by speculators and the general speculative public is now prepared to pause and take breath to study how far the last oscillation of the market has brought prices to the true level of values. It is more and more evident that the late apprehension over a squeeze In money was largely fictitious. How far the efforts to manipulate the money rate were influenced by the natural deßire of money lenders to obtain better rates and how far by a purpose to a reaction In the stock market cannot be definitely ascertained, but it might be ascertained that very powerful financial Interests, who have a dominating voice in the control of vast surplus capital, had taken their profits in stocks and were willing to see a reaction. It is obvious, however, that their motive in taking profits must have been a conviction that prices were equal to or in excess of their true value. The problem of the speculator is whether conditions have so far changed as to have increased their value. The monthly report of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, just issued, throws light on the money question. The amount of circulation, after deducting sums in the treasury on Aug. 1, was $162,727,205 greater than one year before. Saturday’s treasury statement showed that the cash balance in the treasury had increased since that time a little over $53,000,000. This would leave an increased circulation for the year of about $100,000,000, not counting the imports of gold and . the increase in hank circulation since Aug. 1. Neither does this take account of the large amount, in the last few weeks, of government deposits with the banks. There is room therefore for a very largely increased use of money in the country in spite of the treasury’s absorption by the loan. The actual surplus reserve of New York banks, although reduced to less than $6,000,000, also requires some qualifying considerations. For one thing the government deposits are secured by government bonds, thus obviating the necessity of actual cash reserves to secure them. Some of these banks do not report their government deposits at all in making out clearing statements. Furthermore, the surplus reported is above the 25 per cent, requirement, although the state banks are required by law to maintain only 25 per cent, of reserve. These facts explain why the measures of relief offered by the Treasury Department have not been availed of. Bonds were dull, but yielded slightly In the late trading. Total sales, $1,965,000. Government bonds were unchanged. The following table, prepared by L. \V. Louis, Room 11, Board of Trade, shows the range of quotations: Open- High- Low- ClosName. ing. est. est. ing.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE. The Week Open* wlfft Active Trade and Sternly Prices. On the wholesale streets seldom is there more activity than that apparent on all sides yesterday. For some days past it has been more like a holiday trade than at a time when business is supposed to fbe in its normal conditions, and prices carry a steady and on most articles a strong tone. The present week promises to be one of unusually good business for September. Dry goods houses, boot and shoe men. hat and cap dealers and milliners will share in the improvement. In no fine were there changes of importance. Poultry, eggs and butter are in good request at the prices quoted. Peaches and apples?' in fact, all fruits are selling at better prices. It ‘.a thought that the advance in Irish potatoes will be short lived, as all reports show that the country has raised a good crop. The local grain market showed a little more activity, still receipts are fight and the flouring and cerealine mills are troubled to keep up their stock Track bids, as reported by the secretary of the Board of Trade yesterday, ruled as follows: Wheat —Nc. 2 red, 64Vic; No. 3 red, 59 , - t @<*3tßc; September. 64c; wagon wheat, (Sc.

HEAVY WHEAT RECEIPTS —a LARGE INCREASE CAUSED WEAK MARKET AND A DECLINE. ♦ Surprising Increase In the Vi*ille Supply Almo Assisted the Benrs— Provisions Weak anti Lower. CHICAGO, Sept. 19.—He%vy receipts and a large Increase in the visible supply had a depressing effect on wheat to-day and resulted in a decline of about He in both the September and December options. Corn was heavy with wheat and declined He. Oats closed practically unchanged,* after an exceptionally dull session. Provisions were weak throughout and closed 5@7%c lower. Wheat experienced some hesitancy after the first hour's trading. Receipts in the Northwest •were exceptiona’ly heavy, Minneapolis and Duluth reporting 1.993 cars, against 1,143 last week and 1,338 a year ago, and though the crowd was in a measure prepared for this, yet enough liquidation and short selling resulted to cause prices to sag for a time, December, which opened unchanged at 62%@62%c, declining to 62He. This show' of weakness was only temporary, however. Notwithstanding the heavy Northwestern receipts, prices at Duluth, especially for c-ashNvheat, were firm and this fact caused a bullish feeling to gradually develop. Besides the firmness of the Northern market, prices here were helped to a certain extent by the small Russian shipments, 1.2C0.0C0 bushels, and the receipt, both here and at New York, of numerous foreign buying orders. Many of the early sellers turned buyers, and in the absence of any particular selling, pressure December soon recovered its early loss, advancing to 62%c before the demand was satisfied. For some time after that price was reached the market ruled very dull, but was steady until after the visible supply statement was completed. This showed an increase of 1,782,000 bu, making the total 10,188,000 bu, compared with 17,140,000 a year ago. The figures were a distinct disappointment to bull leaders, as an increase of not over 500,000 bushels was looked for, and the market was affected at once. After the liquidation that resulted the price for December sagged to 62%c. After noon the market became very dull again and continued so until the close. The price in the meantime dropped to 62c and hung around that point, the lowest of the day, for some time. A little better feeling developed late in the session and December recovered to 62%c, which was the closing price. Not much was done in September. The price ranged between 65%c and 64%c and closed at the low point. Corn was dull and inclined for the most part to follow wheat. It was firm early, due partly to light receipts, 563 cars, but when w heat turned weak corn did likewise. Shipping demand was moderate. The visible increase was 1,887,000 bu, somewhat more than expected. December ranged from 29%c to 29Hc and closed He lower at 29%c. Oats were very dull. Considering the weakness of other grain markets, however, oats held very steady. There was a good cash demand. The market was uninteresting throughout, trading being almost entirely of a light scalping nature. May ranged from 22Hc to 22%c and closed a shade lower at the latter figure. September and December showed no change. Market for provisions was weak from the start and substantial declines took place, due principally to the yellow fever reports from the South. Speculative market was moderately active, but cash trade was light. Hog receipts at all points were liberal. December perk closed 2%c lower at $8.25, December iard "He lower at $4.72%@4.75 and January ribs 2Hc lower at $4.70.
