Inquiry among the superintendents of motive power and master mechanics and master car builders shows that not in years In early November have the railroad shops In all departments been as busy as at present. William Garstang, superintendent of motive power, states that at the ten different shops on the Big Four system they are ■working full handed and in some departments overtime, in fact, employing more inen than at any time since 1802. At the Peoria & Eastern shops General Manager Barnard says they are very busy, and their Increased oa|ieity by the building of new shops at Urbana, 111., is fully utilized, these shops employing some 350 men. W. C. Arp, superintendent of motive power of the Vandalia lines, says in every department work is being pushed, more men employed than ever before at the shops in Terre Haute and in somo departments working overtime. H. W r . Watkeys, master mechanic of the Monon, has a full complement of men employed at the new shops in Lafayette and Is getting the rolling stock of the company in excellent condition. A general officer of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg says that at ail shops orders are to work the full complement of men, and at Columbus, Indianapolis, Logansport and Fort Wayne the shops are running full time, at Fort Wayne turning out some new engines and cars in addition to general repairs; in fact, ail shops are rebuilding a number of their locomotives. C. H. Cory, superintendent of motive power of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, states that at their shops they are crowded with work and constantly keep three or four of their locomotives in the shops of the Indiana, Decatur & Western at Indianapolis. T. A. 1-awes, superintendent of motive power of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, says they are employing more men than aver before and pushing things in the way of repairing cars and locomotives. Every inquiry developed the fact that railroad shops were never busier or employing more men, and that such will probably be the case through the winter months. Reports from locomotive works and from car builders show that they are all busy, employing of the work double the force of a year agb. Despite tho fact that more locomotives hav* been built in the last few months and more cars purchased than in any like period in either of the last live years, the orders are coming in so satisfactorily that the proprietors of locomotive and car works express the opinion that there will be no cessation in operations through the winter.

Rate Cutting: and Scalping. The president of one of the most prosperous of the New England lines, in reierring .to rate cutting and ticket scalping, asks: “Did one ever hear of a shipper cutting a rate or a scalper fixing passenger rates so as to demoralize the business generally?” The speaker then added: “The shipper has nothing to do with fixing the charges on his good*, neither haa the soliciting agent, without authority from the railroad he represents. The whole matter of freight rate reductiona ia in the hands of the management. It's the railroads that create these conditions. from which, after a time, they cry out to be relieved of. No one else is to blame, and any attempt to place the responsibility on other shoulders is futile and transparently abortive. The same criticism applies to scalping. The roads ask for con • g less lona 1 aid to escape the ravages of the ticket broker, when they are the very tools employed by the railroads that wreck and demoralize the passenger rate situation. Without the assistance of the railroads what would their business amount to? A few tickets picked up here and there, and possibly now and then a counterfeit. How far would this go as a disturbing element? The truth is plain—it's the railroads playing into the hands of the scalpers that makes these speculators a factor in the rate cutting business.” Personal. l.ncal and General Notes. C\ H. Delhi will succeed C. J. Kingsbury as cashier of the Pennsylvania lines at Alliance. O. <\ C. Hill yesterday succeeded A. Myers as district passenger agent of the Wisconsin Central at Chicago. The chief engineer of the Baltimore & Ohio lines is preparing plans for the building of a large freight depot at Pittsburg. D S. Gray, who represented the Pennsylvania lines on the board ot' managers of the Joint Traffic Association, has gone to New York. The earnings of the New York Central for October were $4.?.80< ahead of October, 1597, aiuk since July 1 an increase of J 544.695 is shown. So much of a success has the cab service of the Pennsylvania road at New York and Philadelphia proved to be that similar service has been extended to Washington. The Wabash is placing n patent foot guard in the frogs of the tracks at the more important yards on the system us a preventive of accident when men are switching. The Indiana Car Service Association handled in October 20.679 cars, the largest business in any month since the association was formed. The average detention of cars was 1.74 days. R. W. Matheison, who represents the Ixiuisville A- Nashville at. Chicago, on Wednesday night was struck by a street car and so badly injured that he is not expected to live. The directors of the Chicago Great Western in this country have asked the directors residing in England to consent to begin Jan. 1 the payment of dividends at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum. One of the new F. L. mogul engines of tbe Panhandle on Sunday hauled a train of twenty loaded refrigerator cars and four cars of stock from Dennison to Pittsburg at an average speed of thirty miles an hour. The new alliances which the Pittsburg & Western has formed with the so-called Price lines will not, it is stated, in the least change the relations of the Pittsburg A Western road with the Baltimore & Ohio. Th address of D. B. Martin, passenger traffic manager of the Baltimore & Ohio, which he delivered before the General Passenger Agents' Association is published in full Ir. thn official Hallway Guide of November. Students will he given a rate of one fare and one-third for the round trip to visit home during the Thanksgiving season, the tickets to be good going after the vacation begins and ending with the termination of the vacation season. The board of managers of the roads comr rising the Union Railroad Company will old Its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday. when the contract for the new loubletrack bridge over White river on the Belt road will be awarded. Passenger Conductors Robertson and Weir, on the la>uisville division of the Pennsylvania lines, and Trainmaster Bennett and t'harles Stilz, general ticket agent at the Union Station left last night for the southern part of the State for a week's bunting. An inspection party consisting of General Superintendent Hill. Chief Engineer Perry, Assistant General Superintendent Uickeil,

division superintendents, assistant engineers and roadmasters is this week making annual track inspection of the Lake Erie & Western. The Pittsburg & Western will probably be double tracked for one hundred miles west from Pittsburg, as present indications are that it will within the next eighteen months have trains of the Brice syndicate as well as the Baltimore A Ohio to haul in addition to its own business. Judge W. J. Lewis, who has been the general manager of the New York, Susquehanna & \\ e.-tern R; i.way i o.npany ,n this ■; Ity for nine years, has resigned and his position will be filled by Capt. W. A. May. superintendent of the Hillside Coal and Iron Company, the title under which the Erie Company carries on its mining operations. F. A. McDonald, city passenger agent of the Big Four, who, while South in the Ini' rest of the company, contracted typhoid fever and has been confined at his home in this city for several weeks, is improving. Yesterday he received a telegram announcing the death of his father at Collingswood, Canada, but was too ill to attend the funeral. It is announced that after the foreclosure sale of the Denver & Gulf and the company i.- reorganized as the Colorado & Southern Frank Trumbull, now receiver of the road, will be elected president. The new company will extend the road from Denver through Wyoming to Fort Worth, Tex., with the intention of extending it to tidewater. New offices of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton were recently opened at Dayton. 0., to be occupied by Wood Patton, ticket agent, and R. H. ’Campbell, freight agent, with their clerical forces. The opening of the offices was made the occasion of a reception and there was a house warming and during the day over eight thousand ladies and gentlemen visited the rooms, each lady being given a handsome rose and the gentlemen punch and cigars. Executive officers of the Western roads met In Chicago yesterday to consider the future of the Western Trunk-line Committee. The uselessness of continuing the association In its present shape was generally admitted. It has not been able to secure the maintenance of rates, and never before has such an unsatisfactory state of affairs existed. Attorneys were directed to meet at once and render an opinion as to how far the roads could go in maintaining their organization without coming into conflict with the law. The National Association of Local Freight Agents is said to be accomplishing more practical good than any other one of the numerous organizations made up of those Identified with the operation of the rail and water lines. The business of the association is to deal with the numerous problems which constantly arise between the ship l>er and the transportation department of the railroad companies and to work out what appears to be the best solution. It seeks to harmonize both Interests and to facilitate their business relations. The last month conductors of passenger trains have been much annoyed by persons who have purchased suits from soldiers w ho have returned and attempt to ride on trains, usually claiming to have lost their furloughs and being anxious to reach some point as soon as possible. The conductors are taking precautions, and when satisfied that the person representing himself to be a furloughed soldier is a fraud he is put off the train. On Train 12 over the Big. Four yesterday the conductor put off three men who were attempting to pass themselves as furloughed soldiers and out of money. There is no longer any doubt of its being the intention of the Illinois Central to build to Omaha. A surveying corps is now locating the line and platting the right, of way between Fort Dodge and Council Bluffs, Denison, la., being the headquarters of the corps. President Fish, Chief Engineer Sloan and General Superintendent Sullivan are arranging to visit Omaha and look after terminal facilities. It is believed that the capitalists interested in the Union Pacific are encouraging the Illinois Central to proceed with the work. It is predicted that Illinois Central trains will be running into Omaha by Oct. 31, 1899.

Plows of American manufacture have not had up to the present tims a good market in Russia, but other agricultural Implements and machines of American manufacture have a monopoly of the market. As an instance of this a recent report to the Philadelphia Commercial Museum from Odessa says that American horse hay rakes have driven out English rakes entirely and have been sold in southern Russia for the last twenty-five years. All kinds of hay and manure forks of American make have been sold in Odessa for years past and have supplanted almost everything in that line made in Europe. From the intermediary of a large importing house at Hamburg an extensive American manufacturer of axes, hatchets, picks, shovels and spades Is represented. This Hamburg house gives readily six months’ credit and takes all risks upon Itself, terms v. hirh American wholesale firms have generally refused, hence the slow introduction of their goods in Russia. The Hamburg firm purchases in the United States and then sells again to Russian firms through their commercial travelers. Goods sold in that way are unduly high In price, and if the business could be done direct with the United State® it probably would be largely Increased. There has been some sale for American clocks, but the trade in that line of goods does not seem to have Increased much in the last ten years. Not Iv rohnble. Kansas City Journal.

SURGING STOCK PRICES GE.NER %L FEELING THAT AMERICAN SECURITIES ARE RISING. ♦ Industrials Take a Back Seat and Railroad Shares Make General Advances—Local Trade Quiet. ♦ At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 2(§2% per cent.; last loan, 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 3®4 per cent. Sterling exchange was weak, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.85*4® 4.85*/a for demand, and at $4.82® 4.82*4 for sixty days; posted rates. $4.83®4.83*£ and $4.86@ 4.87; commercial bills, $4.81(&4.81%. Silver certificates, 60*/ 2 bar silver, 80*/ic; Mexican dollars, 47c. At London bar silver closed at 27%d. The total sales of stock on the New York exchange yesterday were 733,500 shares, including: Atchison, 10,200; Atchison preferred 75,020; Baltimare & Ohio Southwestern, 8,200; Canadian Southern, 4,610; Chesapeake & Ohio, 3,660; Burlington, 23,575; Denver & Rio Grande preferred, 7,000; Louisville & Nashville, 19,720; Manhattan, 11,920; Metropolitan Street Railway, 5.908; Missouri Pacific, 7,550; New York Centrai, 7,530; Northern Pacific, 41,220; Northern Pacific preferred, ex. dividend, 10,420; Northwest Terminal, 3,750; Rock Islanu 9,620; Union Pacific, 19.020; St. Paul, 69,165; Southern Railway, 3,412; Southern Rallw'ay preferred, 14,416; Union Pacific preferred, 37,820: Wabash preferred, 3,325; Tobacco, 14,550; Bay State Gas, 4,000; Federal Steel, 13,620; Federal Steel preferred, 26.520; People’s Gas, 15,120; Colorado Fuel and Iron, 3,675; Pacific Mail, 3,965; Sugar, 56,720; Tennesse? Coal and Iron, 6,480; Leather preferred, 4,950; Rubber, 5,540; Chicago Great Western, 4,600. Prices surged upward on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday with what can only adequately be described as a rush and a roar. It was a day of furious activity throughout in all departments, and the closing w as at sterling point and the best prices of the day. The greatest interest and activity was shown in railroad securities of all classes, and nearly all of those which were traded in show at least 1 per cent, higher for the stock. Tne majority shows gains of between 1 and 2 per cent. This rate of increase is raised to between 2 and 3 per cent, in case of Atchison preferred, Rock Island, Baltimore & Ohio, Denver & Rio Grande preferred, Union Pacific preferred, St. Paul & Omaha, C., c., C. & St. L. and some of the specialties. The Oregon Navigation stocks, both common and preferred, show gains of 4 per cent. The industrials and other specialties fell into the background, both relatively and absolutely, and w'ere almost totally neglected until the later dealings. Sugar, Brooklyn Transit and the Federal Steel stocks tnen sprang into activity and scored substantial advances before the close. In the case of some stocks high record prices were made, and in the case of many others the high prices of the year, which prevailed about the Ist of September, were about approximated. Atchison preferred, Baltimore A Ohio, Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific stocks reached their record prices to-day. There can be no doubt that the strength of the market is attributed to the feeling of relief that the unsettled doubts and uncertainties over the election are a thing of the past and to confidence that the generally prosperous condition of the country Is sure to assert itself and lift values to a higher level. There was a spirit of abounding optimism abroad and everything was ignored, except the most favorable incidents in the outlook. The marked falling off in the export demand for wheat and the resulting fall in price had no effect. The unfavorable conditions of the trunk line situation, which caused declines for New York Central tend Pennsylvania in London, received no attention and the prices of those stocks were advanced over a point net. Baltimore & Ohio rose 2%, and Norfolk & Western preferred was at one time up 3%. Reports from the iron trade of a drift towards a lower range of values, w'hich might ordinarily be expected to have a marked effect on the stock market, were passed unnoticed. St. Paul’s first week statement, although it showed an Increase of over $21,000, was much less strong than several of that road’s recent returns which have passed unnoticed, yet there was an eager demand for all of the grangers, which made the group the leaders of the market in point of activity. The Atchison securities held foremost place, and all of them advanced strongly, the preferred Us*ng fjsPer cent., with a stock issue of over $120,000,000 to move. Northern Pacific preferred more than redeemed its quarterly dividend and Union Pacific preferred was heavily bought both for home and foreign accounts. London buying was again a marked feature, and commission house business was on an enormous scalf, fairly taking the market out of the hands of the traders and eating up all offerings to take profits without appreciable check to the day’s continued adVfIIICG The day’s business in bonds holds the record in the volume of transactions. All classes of mortgages were in demand, but the reorganization Issues continued the favorites. There was, however, a well distributed business in high-grade bonds and many speculative issues were brought forward in the movement. Total sales, $10,045,009.

Heavy Rain* Cheeking Trade—Price* Continue to Rnle Steady. Three days of rain in this section in the last four days has tended tor check trade in several departments. Business has been secondary to election with many merchants. All are confident that with fair weather trade will be fully up to expectations, so favorable are the conditions generally. Changes were of no marked importance. Dry goods, staple groceries, in fact, every article which comes into daily consumption is taking on a stronger tone. Confectioners and dealers in fancy notions are already feeling the approach of the holidays in their sales. The local grain market is dull. Shipments are light, so bad are the country roads and so unfavorable the weather for moving grain.

Richard O. Meredith and Sarah E. Hower. A “Dlscharsre” Clerk. New York Commercial Advertiser. He is an employe in one of the big department shops. He is a very useful person to the firm. They call him the ‘‘discharge clerk.” When an aggrieved customer calls to tell the superintendent that the goods sold to her as "all wool” haven’t a particle of wool in them and shrunk up to nothing when they were washed the superintendent looks grave. He sends small boys after frock-coated men, and the frockcoated men discover that it was Smith who sold the goods, and, shocking to relate, represented them as “all wool.” The superintendent listens to the report and says: “Smith! Outrageous! This Is the second time he has made such a mistake, the blockhead. Send him to me instantly.” Up comes Smith, flushed and apprehensive. “Mr. Smith, are these goods pure wool?” Smith looks at the fuzzy fabric and stammers something incoherent. "No excuse, Mr. Smith. You were warned. This is the second time in six months. The firm’s reputation cannot be injured by such crass carelessness. Please see the cashier this evening. We will dispense with your services after to-day.” The customer is usually sorry for Smith. She puts in a little plea for leniency, but the superintendent suavely assures her that such a state of things could not be tolerated by a reputable house. Some other customer might be unintentionally imposed upon and then where would be the fair fame of the house of Jingles & Ribbings? The customer goes away with her pure wool goods or a credit check, much impressed with the sterling integrity of Jingles & Ribbings. As for poor Smith, he goes back to his den and calmly resumes his regular work until called again to be summarily dismissed. It is said that one man held the position of discharge clerk for so long that when he actually was sent away he fainted from the shock. Pensions for Veterans.

A Matter of Pronunciation. Washington Special. Over in Brooklyn there is a Republican congressman of the name of Israel F. Fischer. He is of the Jewish race, and a sharp, bright man. In his district there is a colony of Hungarian Jews numbering several thousand voters. After the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt for Governor Mr. Fischer and his corps of "spellbinders” went about through this Hebraic colony making speeches in support of Colonel "Rosenfeldt.” The result was a perfect frenzy of enthusiasm for the "Rough Rider,” who was adopted as a member of the tribe. It was as much as a Tammany orator’s life was worth to attempt to make a speech for Van Wyck. They were not to be betrayed into the support of anybody against their beloved “Rosenfeldt.” Geography. Detroit Journal. "Well, what is an island?” asked the man upon being informed that his son had now taken up the study of geography at school. "Land entirely surrounded by water,” replied the boy. "That is not correct,” said the man. "An island is lßnd surrounded by water on all sides except the upper side. entirely surrounded by water is suburban real estate.” Then the man remarked to his wife that schools were too theoretical; there was need of an admixture of practical kuowledge in their instruction.

A WEAK WHEAT MARKET MORE PEACEFUL EUROPEAN REPORTS AND I*OOR CASH DEMAND. Leading Cereal at Chicago Declined Over a Cent on Gencrnl Selling —Prov isions Unchanged. CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Wheat to-day closed at a d<cline of KftU/fcC. The more peaceful tone of European political advices and a poor cash demand made a weak market all day. Corn lost Vi'9?c. Oats closed a shade lower. Provisions are practically unchanged. Wheat started weak. Opening transactions in May were at 66%4166%c, compared w r ith yesterday's closing price of 6ti%(jri66%c. and a further slight decline soon occurred, several small lots changing hands at 66@66%c. The trade was untier the influence of Liverpool. That market was quoted %and lower, and advices from there attributed most of the decline to the peaceful tone of Lord Salisbury’s speech last night. Traders there had been expecting something entirely different, and with the strain relieved gradually dropped. New York reported a small demand from foreigners for American wheat, but this was looked for, it being argued that, with the European war cloud removed, the buying from that side would be confined to current wants. Northwest receipts were fairly heavy, Minneapolis and Duluth reporting 1,027 cars, against 1,201 last week and 970 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 524 cars, sixty-seven of contract grade. Up to 11:30 o’clock tho trading was dull. There was some buying against puts, and this and more favorable seaboard advices as to the foreign demand sustained prices. Cables announcing closing quotations abroad, however, knocked the pinning from under the market and prices dropped in a hurry. A 50 centimes decline in American wheat in Antwerp, equivalent to 2%c a bushel, started free selling, the price of May tumbling to 65Vic befoie it was discovered that the reported Antwerp decline was an error. The market stiffened up a trifle after that, but soon weakened again and remained so to the close. Kansas City reported a sale of 100,000 bushels spot wheat at 5%c below Chicago prices, said to be a greater discount than has previously ruled this season, and this took the enthusiasm out of buyers. Atlantic clearances were 875,000 bushels. Primary receipts amounted to 1.510.000 bushels. Seaboard reported fifty boatloads taken for export. May was quoted at 65%@65%c at the close, with more sellers than buyers. Corn was dull and lower. Receipts were heavy, notwithstanding bad weather, and cables were lower. The trade had also in mind the government report, due to-night, and expected to be bearish. There was considerable liquidation by scattered longs and prices ruled lower from the start. Receipts were 764 cars. Seaboard demand was good. May ranged from 3374 c to 3374 c and closed %®%c low’er, at 33(4® 3374 c. Oats followed wheat and corn and ruled slightly lojver. There was a moderately large business done. Liquidation by prominent local traders was a feature. Cash demand was very poor. Receipts were 302 cars. May ranged from 24% to 2474 c and closed a shade lower, at 24%c. During most of the session provisions were dull and weak. Starting steady with an improved hog market, price* weakened rapidly under selling by packers and material declines were recorded. Later in the session the market became firmer under covering by shorts and declines were recovered. At the close January pork was unchanged, at SB.SO; January’ lard unchanged, at $4.9274, and ribs a shade lower, at $4.5774.
