Malott has Issued a circular announcing that "the Terre Haute & Logansport Railroad having been acquired through foreclosure sale by the Terre Haute & Logansport Railway Company, It will, commencing Dec. 1 and until further notice, be operated by Mr. Malott as trustee for the owner. All officers, agents and employes of the receiver will, unless otherwise notified, be retained In the service, receiving Instructions, making reports and performing duties ns heretofore. All balances due by the receiver of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company on freight, ticket, mileage and other accounts will be paid by the receiver, and balances due the receiver on similar accounts will be paid to him.” W. 8. Roney, auditor, has issued a circular announcing the change and instructing subordinates as to the method of making reports concerning operations of the road. From Terre Haute to Logansport. Logansport reports that the headquarters of the Michigan division of the Vandalia, now located at Terre Haute, will be moved to that city the first of the year. This move is the outcome of the purchase of the Michigan division of the Vandalia by the Pennsylvania last-month, and is said to be made in order that the operation of the road may be directly under the supervision of the Panhandle division ofllclals at Logansport. Another change which it Is said will be made the llrst of the year will bo the arrival and departure of the Vandalia passenger trains from the Panhandle station In Logansport instead of from the present Vandalia station, on the opposite side of the city. The present Vandalia station, which is anew structure, erected during the past year to replace the old station destroyed by fire, will, it is said, be turned over to Superintendent Hatch and his force when they go to Igansport from Terre Haute and will be used exclusively for the division offices of the road. That the Panhandle Is figuring on extensive changes and improvements in Logansport is known from Its recent acquisition of valuable land lying along Its right of way in that city and between the present tracks and the Wabash river. While 'he company has not yet secured all of the land which it has in view, negotiations are pending and appraisements have been made on much of it. If the company secures all of the land it is after It will be able to take out the dangerous curve in its tracks near the Wabash Railroad crossing, besides adding considerably to Us trackage at the passenger station, which Is much needed in the handling of trains at that point.

Hewitt, auditor of the Big Four lines, will spend this month in Mexico, being in poor health. There is no foundation for the report that the Wabash will move its shops at Fort Wayne to Peru, Ind. The Wabash and Grand Trunk have refused to become members of the reorganized Central Passenger Association. The shops of the Pennsylvania Companv at Fort Wayne are turning out the new gondola cars at the rate of six per day. In the month of November there were handled on the Big Four system 137.422 loaded cars, against 129,758 in November. 1897. The Guarantee Brokers’ Association has set aside $10,006 to tight anti-scalping legislation at Washington the coming session. In the month of November there were handled on the Peoria Afc Eastern lines 15.656 loaded cars, against 13.854 In November, 1897. The Erie Railway Company has decided to utilize Dunkirk harbor and will construct docks, build an elevator and lay ampio yard tracks. Receiver Hunt, in company with General Superintendent Sherwood, is making an inspection of the Toledo, St. Louis Kansas City. George Lovell, general superintendent of the Monon lines, is in the city and will remain until noon to-day. He Is accompanied by his wife. The Chicago & Alton sale will not be made. President Blackstone refuses to sell his stock and advises others not to dispose of their holdings. W. H. Brown, chief engineer of the Pennsylvania, has within the last ten days let contracts for additional improvements which will cost over $1,000,000. The Terre Haute car works have secured the contract to build four hundred of the box cars of the two thousand recently- contracted for by the Pennsylvania Company. C. Lukens succeeded H. T. Hamer yesterday as city ticket and passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines at Pittsburg; Mr Hamer takes charge of the Philadelphia office. The railways having agreed to give reduced rates to the F.pworth League meeting at Indianapolis insures the league selecting this city for its national convention for 1819. Th receipts of the Big Four liqes from the sale of tickets at Indianapolis for November were $5,210 In excess of those or November, 1887. and $12,102 in excess of those •f November, 1896. Jiynes McCrea, first vice president of the Pennsylvania Company, spent yesterday In the city putting the finishing touches to the reorganization of the Terre llauto & Logansport Company. Henry Waite, son of the late C. C. Waite, general yardmaster of the Columbus &

Hocking Valley road at Columbus, 0., is to be promoted to trainmaster of the Northern division of that road. Central Passenger Association lines are voting on a proposition to give excursion rates to Washington Dec. 14 and 16, on account of the annual convention of the George Washington Association. It is stated that it is practically certain the Southern Railway has secured control of the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis, and will make it a much more important line than it has been heretofore. Charles B. Price has been appointed acting general superintendent of the Allegheny Valley Railroad. The appointment is made because of the continued ill health of General Superintendent David McCargo. The Plant and Flagler systems are engaged in a fierce war for passenger traffic from Northern points to Cuban ports, and a demoralization in rates is likely to result. Thus far, however, both lints are living up to tariffs. J. W. Shannon, an air-brake export of prominence, died at Buffalo on Monday. He spent many weeks in the West, instructing employes of the Pennsylvania and the Wabash lines in using and repairing the Westinghouse air-brake, which he represented. Frank Reed, general passenger agent of the Monon lines, was in the city last evening. He says the passenger business of the Monon for November was much better than in November of 1897. South-bound the road is doing a very satisfactory passenger business. W. K. Vanderbilt, accompanied by C. E. Bchaff, general manager of the Big Four lines, arrived in the city about noon yesterday and immediately left on a special train over the western division of the Peoria & Eastern. To-day they will make a run over the Cairo division. From a private source is learned that W. 11. Davenport, commercial agent of the Union Pacific at Los Angeles, will receive the appointment of general freight agent of tiie company. Since the resignation of T. M. Schumacher much interest has been manifested as to his successor. On Sunday the Wabash ran a freight train on fast time from Chicago to Buffalo, carrying 1,980,009 pounds of Hour, loaded in thirty-three cars. At Buffalo the West Shore took the train, and made a fast run to New York. It was consigned to Europe and sent in one shipment. David William Ross, of Chicago, and Miss Adele Dillard, of Memphis, were married in the latter city Wednesday night. Mr. Ross is an official of the Illinois Central Railroad and the bride is the daughter of Captain John W. Dillard, one of the wealthiest residents of the Bluff City. R. M. Cairnea, engineer on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, who lies at his home, in Crestline, fatally ill, is believed to have been in the service of that company longer than any other of its engineers, he running the engine that hauled the first construction train on the eastern division. F. T. Hatch, superintendent of the Michigan division of the Vandalia, says the report that with the reorganization of the Terre Haute & Logansport the offices of that division will he moved from Terre Haute to Logansport is at least premature. It may be done, he says, but no action has yet been taken. J. R. Cavenagh, superintendent of car service of the Big Four, is testing anew seal for cars made in Hastings, Mich. To lock and seal cars no punch or pressure of any kind is required. The lock is made of tin. and one end is inserted into a catch which securely holds it and cannot be broken without detection. The Evansville & Terre Haute’si surplus over fixed charges for the year ending June 30 was $127,472. and its gross eaming3 for the first seven months of the current year were $72,000 ahead of las/t year. The company has no floating debt. The property is owned practically by the Standard Oil interests, which have put it in fine condition. It has been decidedi to consolidate the passenger and freight agencies of the Pennsylvania lines at San Francisco, and Mr. A. S. J. Holt, at present agent of the Star Union line at Cincinnati, will be appointed Pacific coast agent for the above purpo*e, taking effect Jan. 1. Mr. William Debell, at present district passenger agent at San Francisco, has resigned. The car and paint shops of the Lake Shore road at Norwalk. 0., were closed yesterday, throwing forty employes out of employment. Hereafter all car work east of Erie will be done at Depew, the passenger car work at Norwalk will bo transferred to Cleveland, and the freight car work to Air-line Junction. It is stated that the large shops at Adrian, Mich., will be consolidated with th® shops named on Jan. 1. Tho Baltimore & Ohio did not pay the semi-annual interest due yesterday on the $4.,>00,000 first mortgage 5 per cent, bonds of the Schuylkill River East Side Railroad. The property is operated by the Baltimore & Ohio and the principal and Interest is guaranteed by the latter corporation. Tills Is the first time that this interest has been defaulted during the receivership of the Baltimore A Ohio. Officials of the company explain that there are no funds with which to pay the interest.

ADVANCES IN STOCKS LONDON TURNED BUYER, WITH FRESH DEMAND FOR SECURITIES. Long List of Gains in the Share List from Inditlvitlnal Causes—Local Trade Outlook. At New York yesterday money on call was steadier at 2%®2% per cent.; last loan. 2MrPrime mercantile paper, 3*4<64*4 per cent.

Yesterday’s New Y'ork stock market was again largely influenced by the state of the foreign money markets. Discount rates at foreign centers underwent a still further increase, and the accommodation of these demands by American capital was evidenced by an advance of %c in the actual rates for sterling exchange at New York. The resumption of the process of loaning abroad promptly put a stop to the demand for gold In London for export to the United States, engagements already made being canceled. The subsidence of apprehension on this account in London resulted in considerable buying of stocks in the New York market for London account. Though there was dullness in the standard stocks in New York, prices were firmly held, apparently on the supposition that the money difficulties abroad were in a way to be worked out satisfactory, which is confirmed by the retention of the existing Bank of England rate. Meantime si>eculation turned into the channels of the industrial specialties. There Is a long list of these showing very material gains, but each was influenced by individual causes, either real or fictitious. Sugar advanced on the belief that the regular dividend would be declared next week, Rubber on the reported demand for the product, Consumers’ Gas on rumors of pending consolidation of gas interests, Linseed Oil on tho report of a plan for reorganization and so on through the list. The strength in Consolidated Gas seemed to have a sympathetic effect on the gas stocks generally. In the railroad list, while prices generally advanced, the number of stocks to show conspicuous strength was small. It included Central and Southern Pacific, giving color to reports of a plan of settlement of the government claims; Oregon Shortline, on the measure for absorption by Union Pacific, and Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf and Chicago & Alton, gains in tho latter two cases not being retained, however. Louisville & Nashville and Baltimore & Ohio showed strength. Net gains outside of the industrials are mostly fractional. There was a good demand for bonds and conspicuous gains in some instances. Total sales, $4,370,000. United States new fours advanced % and the threes, old fours and the fives, registered, % in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W.

A big trade is looked for the next three weeks, preceuing the holidays. Seldom are fluctuations as few as in November and higher prices are now Indicated. Os late there has been a decided improvement in business with the commission merchants and this month promises further improvement. The produce market is fairly active and chickens and eggs are very firm at quotations. Fruits of all kinds are selling well and at good prices. An Inferior grade of apples w ill bring $3 a barrel and some are selling ns high as }4 a barrel. Low prices in vegetables still prevail and will ccntinue probably through the winter months.

GRAIN PRICES BOOSTED SHORT DELIVERIES AND EXPORTS G AVE BILLS A CHANCE. ♦ Wheat Opened Strong nt Chicago and Closed a Cent Higher—Provisions Advanced in Sympathy. CHICAGO, Dec. I.—An almost total absence of deliveries on December wheat contract and heavy clearances and seaboard engagements gave wheat bulls to-day the incentive they have been waiting for to boost prices. Compared with yesterday the final figures show' an advance of %(&lc. Corn advanced oats closed a shade higher and provisions 2%@10c higher. Opening trades in both December and May wheat were at a substantial advance, December starting %c higher at 65%i@66c, and May %c higher at 66%<566%c. As to December the strength was due principally to the fact that deliveries were practically nil, which removed a source of much apprehension. Bulls in May had for their comfort an entirely unexpected show of strength by Liverpool, cables reporting %'qi %and advance at that market before trading commenced here. Another noticeable feature was the smallness of the Liverpool stocks of wheat, 528,000 bushels, a decrease of over 80,000 bushels for the week. The Indication of the hand-to-mouth policy of foreign traders and the fact that Europe is practically dependent on this country for supplies, reminded shorts that an ugly situation would ensue should Northwestern receipts drop off sharply at the close of navigation, and sent many of them to cover. Northwest receipts were 1,405 cars, compared with 753 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 142 cars, sixteen of contract grade. After the first few minutes trading the market became very dull and prices dropped off somewhat in consequence. December, in which scarcely any trading was done, declined to 65%c and May to 60Vs<§66 1 /4c. But before 11 o'clock trading commenced to broaden out under the influence of some very bullish figures regarding the foreign demand for American wheat and the latter part of the session was marked by more activity than has been shown any time this week. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour footed up the enormous total of 1,635,000 bushels. Primary receipts were heavy also, 1,647,000 bushels, but this fact was apparently ignored. The seaboard reported seventy loads taken for export, a feature of which was heavy engagements for Adriatic ports which Russia should be supplying. There waa a steady demand from shorts anxious to cover outstanding contracts and a good deal of outside commission house buying. The market continued to advance until about half an hour from the close. May getting up to 67c and December to 66%c. At the top, however, selling, which had been scattered up to that time, became quite heavy and some reaction occurred. The close was firm, May at 67%c and December at 66V 8 c. Corn was strong, though not particularly active. There were no deliveries in December contracts and that and the strength of wheat gave the market a firm opening and with the exception of a slight reaction soon after, caused by selling against calls, the strength was maintained to the end. Trading, however, was not heavy enough to cause much advance. The seaboard reported seventy loads taken for export. Cash sales here were put at 250,000 bushels. Receipts were 254 cars. May ranged from ?4 1 4<334%0 to 34%c and closed higher at 34%. Oats were Ann, but dull, the market being without special incident. There were no deliveries, which helped prices. There w r as some selling by longs, but cash demand was good and prices held well. Receipts 179 cars. May ranged from 26%c to 27c and closed a shade higher at 26%c. Provisions were fairly active and strong. Hog receipts were again very heavy, but traders paid very little attention to this. Packers sold freely the first hour, but the market absorbed all offerings readily and at the close showed a substantial advance. There was a broader general trade. At the close January pork was 10c higher at $9.27%: January lard 10c higher at $5.10 and January ribs 2%<&5c higher at $4.67%<f}4-70.
