Stock nnd Investment Securities Examined Free of Charge. Traders* Building, : : Chicago MONON ANNUAL MEETING a NO CHANGE IN THE DIRECTORS OR IN THE OFFICIAL BOARD. Better Resnlts Shown tlie last Year from Operation of the TANARUS., P. A TV. —General and Peruonal Notea. a The stockholders of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railway held their annual meeting in this city yesterday. Two directors were to be elected, and Crawford Fairbanks, of Terre Haute, and John A. Hilton, of New York, whose terms expired yesterday, were re-elected, as was the official board of the last year. Vice President McDoel said the report that John Greenough was to retire was a mistake, and arose from the fact that Mr. Greenough had announced that he would retire from business, but not from the directorship of the Monon, in which he is largely interested. Eighty-six per cent, of the stock was represented at the meeting. The earnings, etc., of the road for the fiscal year ending June 30 were published in the Journal on Monday. The company, last year, operated 636 miles of main line. During the year three miles of new sidetracks were put in, 3,770 tons of new heavy steel rail laid, 252,034 new ties put in and ninety-six miles of road reballasted. The company owns eightythree locomotives. During the year 312 freight cars were equipped with airbrakes and automatic couplers and five new engines were purchased at a cost of $60,900. Samuel Thomas, president, in his report, says: “The results for the year as given are highly satisfactory, as you will find upon examination, the earnings exceeding those of any year—with the exception of the world’s fair year—as reported by the old company. It will be noticed that the net earnings exceed the fixed charges $89,129.26. This is the result after setting aside $20,500 each month for the “replacement account.” or $13,000 more than was usual under the management of the old company. This is charged to operating expenses for iteplacement account. The physical condition of the property and its equipment is first-class, which accounts, in a measure, for the increase in earnings. In accordance with the terms of the refunding mortgage, $489,000 was received in cash as a special fund for improvement to property from the reorganization committee and $594,701.17 was expended on that account up to Dec. 31, 1897. With our track and equipment in good shape we are looking forward to doing an increasing and profitable business. W. H. McDoel, vice president and genera! manager, says: “The plan of reducing grades between State Line and Monon, commenced last year, has been continued and will be completed by Sept. 30. The reduction In grades, and improvement in equipment, has enabled us to increase our tonnage per train from 2U0.91 to 230.07. Average tons per car was 14.48 against 13.64 the previous year. The number of tons of freight carried one mile show an increase over previous year of 72,446,380 tons. The rate por ton per mile was .750 agalnßt .839 in 1897. The decrease is explained by the large increase in low class # tonnage, and very lowseaboard rates which have affected north-umi-south-bour.d traffic. The average earnings per passenger train mile, including mall and express, was 94.18 cents. The rato per passenger per mile waa 1.921 against 2-034 in 1897. The reduction is accounted for by the large excursion business between Chicago nnd other points and Cedar Lake, rates generally having been fully maintained. Last February—contract was made for 250 forty-foot, forty-ton-capacity ilat cars, and 50 thirty-ton stock curs, total cost $122,625. payable 10 per cent, cash, and the balance In sixty monthly payments with 6 per cent, interest. These cars have ail been received since the close of the year and are now In service. New station buildings were erected at Belt Junction. Indianapolis, Orleans. Greencastle, Harrodsburg. Campbellsburg. Cedar Lake, and freight houses at Hammond and New Albany. New oil and supply house was erected at Indianapolis. and a small station building and. ice--1 ouse at Lafayette.” In speaking of the rumor sent from Chicago, to thu effect that there would be several changes in the directory and that Mr. McDoel would succeed Samuel Thomas as president, Mr. McDoel said there was not the least grounds for the statement. The statement that President Thcmas hat! sold his interest in the road to other parties, he •aid, was equally untrue.

Outlook for Rolling Stock Orders. The Railroad Gazette has collected and will publish, on Friday, an article entitled, "An Outlook for Rolling Stock Orders,” giving data from the railroads of the United States showing the number of cars and locomotive* that will probably be bought by them before the end of the year. The letters received; indicate that American builders of steam railroad equipment will probably receive orders for ninety-six locomotives, 7.659 freight cars and fifty passenger oars, in addition to what may be bought by new railroads, which are not yet running. Electric street railroads, operating 6.500 cars, expect to buy 02> new cars Nine railroads now building, with a proposed mileage of 020 miles, expect to order :*> locomotive®, 1.650 freight cars and 162 passenger cars, but lust what part of these will be bought this year cannot he gained, & the rate at which the equjfl

ment will be ordered depends entirely on the progress of construction work. Annual Report of the TANARUS., P. A YV. E. F. Leonard, president and general manager of the Toledo, Peoria & Western, which Is owned jointly by the Pennsylvania Company and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, has Issued his annual report for the year ending June 30, which shows the following: From passengers $253,782 Inc. $19,381 From freight 607.459 Inc. 79,189 From mails 26,831 Inc. 1 From express 15,000 From other sources ... 79,576 Dec. 4,803 $982,650 Inc. $93,769 Op. exp. and taxes .... 755,388 Inc. 50,856 Net earnings $227,388 Inc. $42,913 The charges against net income in 1898 were $195,800 for interest on bonds. $11,014 for interest on debenture scrip, $14,859 for interest on current liabilities, and $l4B for interest on equipment notes. The deficit in income account is therefore reduced from $250,483 a year ago to $244,915. Personal, Local and Geileral Notes. It is stated that within two years Omaha will have two more roads—the Illinois Central and the Chicago Great Western. A local firm yesterday received hogs shipped from Bints, on the Eikhorn Valley road, fully eight hundred miles from Indianapolis. Joseph Flood, a freight conductor on the Baltimore & Ohio, through the death of an uncle in New York lias inherited a fortune estimated at SIOO,OOO. The Schenectady locomotive works yesterday notified the Big Four that to-day they would ship the two large passenger engines ordered sixty days ago. On Oct. 1 W. H. Lewis, treasurer of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville, will have held that position forty years, he being first elected In October, 1858. Judge Field, general solicitor of the Monon lines, stated yesterday that at no time in the existence of the company has it been as free from litigation as at present. O. P. Barrett, traveling passenger agent of the Mexican National, was in the city yesterday. He states that every year travel from the United States to Mexico is increasing. W. T. Elder, traveling freight agent of the Baltimore & Ohio, who recently underwent a painful surgical operation, was yesterday reported to be as comfortable as could be expected. Benjamin Gerard, formerly passenger conductor on the Pennsylvania lines, has commenced at the bottom again as switchman on the Grand Rapids & Indiana at Grand Rapids. It is stated that M. F. Bonzano, who last week resigned as superintendent of the Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking road, will accept a more important position on the lowa. Central on Oct. 1. So much has the Wabash increased its freight car equipment that the item of car hire, which cost the road $468,558.74 in the year ending June 30, w r ill be cut down about 50 per cent, the present year. E. B. Gates, ticket agent of the Michigan Central at Kalamazoo, has been retired and is succeeded by R. R. Wheeler, of Saginaw; George J. Sadler, ticket agent at Battle Creek, has been succeeded by E. L. Mosier, formerly of Jackson. U. L. Truitt, who has for some time past represented the Chesapeake & Ohio passenger department at Chicago, goes to New York as Eastern passenger agent, and W. E. Conklyn. traveling passenger agent, succeeds him at Chicago. H. M. Bronson, assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four, yesterday reoeived_ from some person in New Castle, Ind., 25 cents, the sender stating that he had consecrated himself to Christ and His service, and this was money he owed the company. D. T. McCabe, freight traffic manager of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, and J. B. Hill, general freight agent, are this week going over the Southwestern system, traveling on a special train and stopping at all stations to talk with the agents. The Big Four has found it necessary to add a fourth switching crew to its Anderson yard force. The three were working day and night and still could not keep up with the business that was being hurried in and out. The business of the Eig Four at that point is greater than ever known before. At a meeting in Cleveland of the passenger agents east of Chicago it was decided to restore the tariff rates except as to the differential allowed the Nickel-plate, which was slightly decreased. The object in view is the killing off of the scalping business between Chicago and New York, and it is thought that this move will do it. No matter what comes to the Baltimore & Ohio, a prominent railway official says, Oscar Murrav will continue at the head of the property which he has been so instrumental in developing since becoming connected with the road. Wm. M. Green, as general manager, has made a good record in the operating department. The Pennsylvania road realizes the value of the western connections it owns or leases, as from these it is now deriving its heavy freight business and is not so dependent on traffic from the large cities as it would be but for its extensive system of roads in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Never in its history has the Vandalia furnished as much business to the Pennsylvania as for five months past. A local freight official, in speaking of the fact that Philip Armour has become interested in the Baltimore & Ohio, said that were he to turn his immense business to that road it would be a serious blow to some of the trunk lines he has so liberally shipped over heretofore. The change, he said, will certainly give the Baltimore & Ohio large prestige with some of the largest shippers at Chicago. A committee of the Order of Railway Conductors on Tuesday held their conference with officers of the Lake Erie & Western in their efforts to have three discharged conductors reinstated, and it is said their labors w ere in vain. Roundhouse rumor has it that this will lrad to a strike. If there is any road in the country that has little fear of strikes it is those under the general managership of George Bradbury. A number of passenger men are in the city who represent foreign lines. Os the number are F. L. Harris, general agent of the Mobile & Ohio; Louis Rausch, traveling passenger agent of the same iine; R. C. Jones, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, and L. W. Landrqan, of the Columbus & Hocking Valley. All report passenger business over their lines largely in excess of the corresponding period last year. A. J. Smith, secretary of the American Association of Genera! Passenger and Ticket Agents, has sent notice to all transportation lines that the forty-third annual meeting of the association will be held In Detroit. Tuesday, Oct. 18. The annual address will be delivered by D. B. Martin, passenger traffic manager of the Baltimore & Ohio lines. Ticket scalping and the abolishing of cheap excursions are among the subjects to be considered. W. H. McDoel. vice president and general manager of the Monon, recently visited the home of his boyhood. Goffstown, N. H., where he was entertained by Colonel Shirley, the man who first gave him employment and who paid him, when he left his employ, $2. On arriving at Goffstown Mr. McDoel was much surprised over the manner he was received. At the home of 001. Shirley he was ushered into a room where a large table was loaded with elegant bouquets, and soon the associates of his boyhood began to come and an enjoyable time, ending with a banquet, followed.

TOWARD BETTER PRICES ♦ MONEY RATE EASIER AND THE STOCK MARKET ADVANCING. Some Foreign Selling of American Securitiea Without ElTeet on This Side—Local Trude Active. At New York yesterday money on call waa easier at 2015 per cent.; last loan. 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4@5 per cent. Sterling exchange was weak, with actual business in barkers’ bills at $4.83% for demand and at $4.£1%@‘1.81% for sixty days; posted rates, $4.82%@4.83 and $4.85; commercial bills, $4.80%® 4.81. Silver certificates, 61%®62c; bar silver, 61 5-lSe; Mexican dollars, 47%c. At London bar silver closed steady at 28 5-16d an ounce. Total sales stocks, 395,100 shares. Including 13,259 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. 23,695 Manhattan, 51,274 Northern Pacific, 6,062 Northern Pacific preferred, 4.779 Rock Island, 8.610 Union Pacific, 15,270 St. Paul, 16,490 Union Pacific preferred, 4,6(4) Wheeling & Lake Krie, 10,140 Cotton Oil, 6.690 Tobacco. 7,070 People’s Gas, 7,820 General Electric, 103,622 Sugar, -10,266 Leather preferred and 3.200 Rubber. The course of Sugar on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday Indicated that the long bear turn In that stock has come to an end for the present. Dealings in this stock continued to absorb an important proportion of the total transactions. EfTorts to hold the money rate proved unavailing in view of the disparity between the New York call money rate and other markets and call loans on the board fell to 2 per cent. Asa result of relief from these important reactionary tendencies, the market was strong and recovered quit* generally from Tuesday’s decline. But the strength waa confined largely to spots and the market Is still in the hands of professionals and reflects no outside interest. There was still some apprehension that the rally in Sugar might be simply the result of manipulation directed against a larg* bear account. The sudden plenitude of money was also looked at somewhat askance and with some remains the fear that a further flurry In call money might be possible. The fact that money has been easy to obtain for several days in almost all markets, but not on the Stock Exchange, encourages this feeling. But the call money market was unable to withstand the Influence of the various agencies which have been at work for Its relief. The subtreasury had another debit balance of nearly $2,000,000 at the clearing house, reflecting in part the presentation of checks for the anticipatory October payment of interest on government bonds. Transfers of currency from New York to the West through the subtreasury amounted to only SBO,OOO. There were further engagements of gold In London for import, resulting in a sharp rise of %@1 per cent, in the money and of %®% to 2%@2% per cent, in the discount rate in that market. The stiffening of the London money rate begot dullness in the stock market there, the heaviness extending to the American group and resulting in some selling for London account in New York. Except for one .or two instances, this selling was without much effect. A number of stocks responded sharply to special causes, as for instance Manhattan on the return from Europe of the dominant capitalist; Brooklyn Transit, on talk of the absorption of another line; General Electric, on the belief that it would benefit from the recent cembination of electrical interests, and Leather preferred on covering of shorts, who misapprehended the meaning of the new leather company announced Tuesday. The coaters. Cotton Oil, Rubber, New York Air-brake and some other specialties showed conspicuous advances. In the railroad list, outside of Northern Pacific, dealings were not large, but prices in a number of cases advanced a point net. Last prices were the best and the market was strong and the most active at the close. Prices of bonds recovered In the late dealings from an early tendency towards decline. Total sales, $1,610,000. United States fives declined % and the threes, when issued, 44 in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODICE. Trade Active, with Priees Firm and Unchanged. In most lines the activity of several days past In trade Is still noticeable and prices carry a steady tone at the several revisions of Tuesday. Fruits and vegetables, on lighter receipts, carry j a much stronger tone and choice fruit is bringing good prices. All vegetables are firmer. The effort to spring priees on potatoes, contrary to exi>eotattons, has proven effective and present indications are that potatoes and apples are to bring much higher prices than last year. Poultry is easier and eggs firm at the advance of Tuesday. Sugar still has an upward tendency. Provisions are moving well at unchanged prices. The local grain market shows more activity than last week, still receipts are far short of what they should be to make an active market.

Found h Parse Containing: ijKiI.OOO, SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 21.—George Mulligan. a miner who recently returned from the Klondike, lost a purse containing |61,000 on a street car a few days ago. It has been found and returned by John Donahue, the gripman of the car. With the exception of S4O in currency the money was in checks, one of which was a draft for $57,000, issued at Dawson City on the Bank of British Columbia in this city. Mulligan, who was so lucky as to recover his fortune, left S2O at the curhousc for the hottest gripman.

NERVOUS GRAIN MARKET WHEAT STRONG AND WEAK BY TURNS, AND CLOSED LOWER* Corn Wn<t Hammered and Scored a Decline, While Provisions Fell Oft on Yellow Fever Talk. * CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—Wheat was strong to-day at the opening and weak at the close. Heavy outside buying and large export sales were sustaining influences, but realizing by the local holders proved too much for the market to stand up under. December closed at %c decline and September %c lower. Corn was easy, but lost only a small fraction. Oats were strong under covering by shorts and advanced %@%e. Provisions were dull and weak, closing 2%@10c lower. Wheat was strong at the opening. December, which closed yesterday at 63%c, started to-day at 63%(fi 63Uc and advanced in a very few minutes to 63%®63%c. A slight reaction then took place, the price dropping to 63%®63%c, but the market almost Immediately turned strong again and before selling became heavy enough to affect prices December had advanced to 63%c. September, though inactive, was also very strong, opening %c higher at 67c, and advanced to 67%c. The main feature of the strength was the heavy buying of a prominent St. Louis speculator, his purchases during the first hour’s trading being estimated at 1,500,000 bushels. The character of the news was rather encouraging to buyers. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 912 cars, against 91S last week and 853 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 212 cars. Liverpool cables showed strength in that market and a strong continental demand for wheat was reported, with prices higher. Duluth reported cash wheat in good demand and %c higher. After the first hour's trading the market began to weaken. Offerings became much heavier and general, nearly all of the local holders who have been buying for several days putting wheat on the market. Later Liverpool cables showed a less of some of the advance there. Atlantic port clearances were moderate, 285,060 bushels, compared with yesterday's heavy clearances, but this amount was not very encouraging. A gradual decline took place, December getting down to 63%c. Here another buying flurry developed, sending the price back to S3%c, but the bidders at that price were deluged with offerings and the price quickly broke to 63%c. For some time the market fluctuated rapidly within a narrow range under active scalping, but did not develop any real strength again until near the close, when the announcement that seventy loads of cash wheat had been worked for export rallied the December price suddenly to 63%c. It dropped again to 63%c and closed rather nervous at that figure. September sold as low as 66%c and closed at 66%c. Corn was dull and heavy. The market showed strength around the opening, but this was largely in sympathy -with wheat. There was some changing from September to December. The country reported selling new corn, to arrive in November and December. Receipts were 493 cars. Clearances were small and cash demand slack. The market became easier late in the day and closed rather weak. December ranged from 29%0 to 29%c and closed a shade lower at 29%@29%c. Oats were strong, notably so for September, and the volume of trading was considerably increased. There was large buying by one or two leading commission houses and offerings were light. Cash demand was good. Receipts were 272 cars. The market felt the late wheat break and best prices were not maintained. May ranged from 22%c to 22%c and closed %c higher at 22%@22%c. September closed %c higher at 21%c. Provisions were again very dull and with the exception of a slight show of strength early in the session, rather weak. Cash demand was good, but yellow fever talk had a depressing effect. Packers were moderate sellers of ribs. Speculative demand was light. December pork closed 10c lower at $8.17%, December lard 5c lower at $4.72%®4.75 and January ribs 2%c lower at $4.67%.

Dry Goods. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—There was continued inactivity In the dry goods market to-day. The quota of buyers in the market was very small and their operations confined within narrow limits: The market gained very little in mail orders, many road salesmen having returned to the city after only partially successful trips. The reports from the South that yellow fever has broken out temporarily stopped heavy trading in these quarters. Staple cottons show little improvement or change In any department. Brown goods are firm and inactive in all lines suitable for American consumption. Expert goods are the subject of a good general inquiry. The Chinese trade is not so active as last week, but after the recent, heavy exports great results are not expected for some time. Bleached cottons are quiet in nearly all divisions. Print cloths show a weaker market. Odd goods have fallen off in quotations perceptibly. Extras have been sold outside the Providence and Fall River markets In considerable quantities at 2c. Wool. LONDON. Sept. 21.—At the wool auction sales to-day 13.123 bales were offered. Competition was spirited ard the advances of yesterday were firmly held. Better scoured merinos were eagerly competed for and greasy was quickly absorbed. The offerings of cross-breds were large and the finer grades showed a hardening tendency. Choice scoured ('ape of Good Hope and Natal sold from old rates to 5 per cent, higher. The continent was again a free operator.
