Proposition to Abolish Second-Class and Tonrist Rates Likely to Be Beaten—Personal Notes. It is confidently believed that there will now he inaugurated the most permanent and effective system of rates ever before known to transportation interests. The association plan has been tried for the past twenty-five years and found to be utterly valueless. Millions of dollars have been expended in the maintenance of traffic organizations that never maintained anything. The railroads have submitted to this burdensome system of taxation, and the only good that came from it were understandings in regard to party rates and concerted action in fixing up tariffs for Grand Army meetings and the like. The railroads are competent to regulate their business without the interposition of outsiders, and it is refreshing to know that a movement was recently set on foot in the West where they are entirely ignored. Allusion is made to the meeting held at the home of President Ingalls, of the Big Four, in Cincinnati, which was attended by many of the high officials of the lines in this section who are desirous of seeing rates put back to a paying basis. This meeting is taken as a most encouraging indication that tariff sheets during the year to come will have something of meaning; that they are published for a purpose. The fact that charges are to be increased, and are likely to remain stable, caused a big stir in shipping circles the past week, and goods have been rushed forward in great volume to take advantage of prevailing rates. Bocal freight officials are very determined in their intention to restore rates and treat all shippers alike. Tourist Lares. The movement recently started tn the West to abolish second-class or tourist fares is not meeting with the success anticipated. The disposition to abolish these rates is not widespread, and it looks as if the scheme would be defeated. It has long been contended that if passenger charges could be based entirely upon the first-class rate, one of the chief causes of disturbance would be removed, but it is claimed, on the other hand, that the general public having enjoyed the lower rate for so long a time would set up a persistent and vigorous cry against its abolition. It is further argued that the tourist car is patronized by a class of people who could not otherwise afford the expense of a transcontinental journey; that thousands of school teachers and private instructors, with limited salaries, are thus provided facilities for enlarging their knowledge of the country and communicating what they absorb to the children under their tutelage. In this respect the tourist car has become an element of education. Generally the cars employed in the service are as agreeable to ride in as newly equipped parlor cars, the only difference being in the quality of the upholstering and less elaborate decorations. They have become immensely popular during the last few years. Personal, Local and General Notes. J J Sullivan has been appointed yardmaster of the Big Four at the Belt crossing yards. George R. Bradbury, vice president of the Bake Erie & Western, is expected in the city to-morrow. p Darlow, secretary of V. T. Malott, receiver of the Vandalia, is so ill as to confine him at home. The New York Central in main line and branches has 2,394 miles of main track, and its total capitalization is $251,49<,957.<8. The Pennsylvania will this year expend $1 ,OiX,OOO in reducing grades and straightenins curves between Irwin and Larimer. There were loaded and unloaded at the citv freight depots of the Big Four at Indianapolis in 15'84,088 cars, against *9,634 In 1597. In the year 1898 there were handled at the citv freight depots of the Pennsylvania lines 4;’j'lS,r>64 pounds of freight, representing 42.435 cars. On Dec. 31. on the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, there were employed 2t.004 men. and of that number 16,3>0 are members of the Voluntary Relief Association. The Indiana Car Service Association will hold its annual meeting at the office of General Manager Bacon on Jan. 11, when the annual election of officers will occur. Trains of the Illinois Central now run into X iv-hville Tenn., over the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Ignite, which is controlled by the Bouisville & Nashville Railroad Company. The Indianapolis division of the Central Association of Railroad Officers held their annual meeting yesterday and re-elected 11. Bicknell president and G. B. Staats secretary. There were handled on the Indianapolis division of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton in 1898 61.800 ears, against 59,180 m 189., against 52,420 in 1890, against 50,390 in 1890, and against 55,048 in 1894. The reorganization plans of the Columbus & Hocking Valley will be. made public, it is stated, by Jan. 10. anu it is expected to reorganize the road on such a basis as to make it a dividend payer. A syndicate, believed to be beaded by J. Skelton Williams, a Richmond banker, lias made an offer for a controlling interest in the Seaboard & Roanoke Company, the parent organization of the Seaboard air line. * Repent developments indicate that the Pittsburg & Western, when reorganized, will become part of the Baltimore A: Ohio evstem. The bonds of the road, which a few weeks ago were selling at 65, are now close to par. Samuel T. Fulton, formerly stenographer for the Big Four, who eight years ago went with E S. Washburn, now president of the Kansas Citv, Fort Scott & Memphis, has t)<Hn promoted to assistant to President Washburn. \l \v Mansfield, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, yesterday returned from a trip to Mexico in company with General Manager Borce, who reached Pittsburg last evening. The party has been absent a month. Th, St Bouis & Southwestern, better known as the Cotton Belt, has 1.233 miles of B“rack, and in 1898 spent $1,114,694 for maintenance of way improvements The company has been laying heavier steel rai>, filling trestles and renewing bridges. Wills J. McKinley, for many years passenger conductor on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne A Chicago was buried at New Castle. Pa., on Monday. He died of pneumonia. George McKinley, passenger conductor on the Fort Wayne road, is a brother of the deceased. An order has been issued on the Panhandle that, to guard against fire, hajr’. cotton, flax, tow, charcoal and slnular freights be loaded in tight box cars with the doors securely fastened. This results a car loaded with cotton recently catching Are. Charles F. Wolcott, secretary to A. M. Bchoyer, superintendent of telegraph of the Pennsylvania lines west, has assuroedthe duties of superintendent at Indianapolis of the American District Telegraph Company,

vice Thomas F. Clohoset, who has been appointed general agent of the company for Indiana and Ohio. The Illinois Central officials yesterdav started on an inspection of the Bouisville aivision, where extensive improvements are to be made. Short curves are to be out and grades reduced, the intention being to put the track in such condition that the run from Bouisville tG Alemphis can be made in ten hours. B. B. Osier, Q. C., the celebrated criminal lawyer of Ontario, has been selected by the ‘fand Trunk as its arbitrator in the settlement of the grievances of the Grand Trunk telegraph operators, and he and Mr. Sargent, of the Order of Railway Firemen, who represents the telegraphers, will meet at Montreal on the 6th inst. to select a third arbitrator. The Chicago. Burlington & Quincy's new fast mail train is scheduled at an average speed of fifty-five miles an hour between Chicago and Omaha. The “Q” has carried the through mail west from Chicago for fourteen years, and from this service realizes $1,200,000 a year, but the profit on this business is materially reduced by the expense involved of running high speed special trains. It * s understood that shortly after W. P. r itch becomes general manager of the Soo, to succeed Frederick B. Underwood, D. W. Philbin, of Duluth, will resign as second vice president and general superintendent of the Eastern Minnesota to accept a more Important place with Mr. Fitch, either on the South Shore or the Soo. It was Mr. Fitch who made Mr. Philbin superintendent of the Duluth. Superior & Western. Reader: The Pennsylvania is considered the standard railroad of America, and is undoubtedly ahead of its competitors in many respects, but the New York Central and Rake Shore have superior advantages, owing to more favorable topographical features in the country through which they run. If the mileage of all lines leased or controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is included, it has the largest system in the country. General Passenger Agent Eustis, of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy, has adopted the nontransferable editorial pass system for the papers published along his line, and put it into effect on Jan. 1, 1899. Under the system, which has been tried in the West and will hereafter be practiced east of the Missouri river, each paper published along the lines of the Burlington will be furnished with a nontransferable editorial pass in favor of either the proprietor, business manager or editor. It will be good on all lines of the Burlington, east of the river, and may be used as often as the holder desires. In exchange for this General Passenger Agent Eustis will send advertising matter to the paper for publication throughout the year. ifie New lork Times repeats the story, denied on its first publication last week, that the retirement of Samuel Sloan from the presidency of the Delaware. Eackawanna & YYestern Railroad next month will be followed by the promotion to that office of vv. t. Halstead, at present second vice president and general manager of the road. Mr. Halstead has been connected with the Jjackawanna system continually for about forty-seven years. He tvas fifteen years old when he entered the service of the company and he worked himself up through the various grades of trackman, brakeman, conductor, assistant superintendent, division superintendent and superintendent. Since June 1, ISB6, he has been the general manager of the entire system. The selection of Mr. Halstead as President Sloan’s successor will signify the desire of the dominating influence in Backawanna to continue the present policy of management Mr. Halstead has practically directed the operation of the system for the past few years, and the relations between him and ‘ President Sloan have been entirely harmonious. There Is little difference in the speed of the through trains of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, but under the last schedule those on the Southwestern system are a little the fastest, train No. 14 being the, fastest between St. Bouis and Jersey City. This train runs the 193 miles from Columbus to Pittsburg in four hours and foqty minutes, while No. 2, one of the fastest trains on the Fort Wayne, consumes five hours and fifteen minutes on the 189 miles between Crestline and Pittsburg. No. 14 on the Fort Wayne makes the run from Alliance to Pittsburg in two hours and five minutes, a distance of eighty-three miles, and 14 on the Panhandle makes the run from Dennison, ninety-three miles, in two hours and fifteen minutes, and makes the run from Dennison to Steubenville, fifty miles, in seventy minutes. The limited express trains. No. 5, leave at the same time (9:30 p. m.) from the Union Station. Pittsburg, one for St. Bouis and the other for Chicago. The Fort Wayne train reaches Crestline, 189 miles distant, at 1:50 a. m., and the Par.handle train arrives at Columbus, 193 mile? distant, at 2:15 a. m., so that on this run the Fort Wayne train makes a little the faster time.

An elaborately-gowned woman with an accent as conspicuously District of Columbia as her bonnet was Parisian, was looking over the new books in a famous book shop down on the avenue the other day. She was accompanied by a friend with a similar accent and a similar species of bonnet. One book seemed to touch her fancy. “What is the price of this book?’ said she to the salesman. "Two dollars,” he replied. "Two dollars!” repeated the elaboratelygowned lady, with an air of being ready puzzled, don’t you know. “Two dollars. Won t you tel| me how many francs that is? I’ve been so use*! to the French money I really can t remember how much it ta. Is it 8 or 10 francs?” But tl cn, you know, we Americans are so adaptable. She had been abroad six moaths.

STRENGTH IN STOCKS EARLY” WEAKNESS OVERCOME AND MOST SHARES CLOSED HIGHER. Supporting Factors for tlie Grangers and Specialties—Local Business Opens Quiet. At New York yesterday money on call was firm at 3@4 per cent.; last loan, 3. Prime mercantile paper, 3#3% per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business in banker’s bills at [email protected]% for demand and $4.81%<514.82 for sixty days; posted rates, and commercial bills, $4.81. Silver certificates, 59 bar silver, 59c; Mexican dollars, 46%c. At Rondon bar silver closed steady at 27%d an ounce.

The New York stock market was irregular yesterday, but left off strong, with fractional gains in most shares, with a larger advance in other stocks where interest largely centered. Initial prices were generally higher, but subsequently, the course of speculation was somewhat reactionary, and Bondon sold some 30,000 shares, partly on the Philippine incident and renewed talk of trouble between France and England. Profit-talking sales caused some of the railways to recede from the early best figures, New Y”ork Central being especially weak, although it subsequently recovered most of its loss. American Steel and Wire shares, after opening at improvements, were raided, and the common declined five points while the preferred lost sixteen and then rallied three and one-half and twelve points, respectively. In the afternoon rise there was an increase in the volume of trading. The favorable November statement of Bouisville started an upward movement in that stock of % and a better tone spread to the rest of the list, Reading, Federal Steel, Pullman and American Spirits each in turn becoming strong. Pittsburg, C., C. & St. R., Western Union and Kansas & Texas preferred also displayed strength. Improvement in the anthracite trade because of the cold weather was assigned as a reason for the rise in these stocks, although the advance in the price of coal predicted for the beginning of the year failed to materialize. The increase in east-bound shipments and the rumored restoration of trunk-line rates were supporting factors in the stocks concerned. Money displayed a somewhat hardening tendency, the range being from 3 to 4 per cent., closing loans at the lesser figure. This advance in money was without appreciable effect on stocks, which closed at about the best in many cases. American Sugar Refinery was hammered from time to time on the unsettled conditions of the trade and lest 2 per cent. Railway bonds forged upward on heavy purchases: total sales, $6,101,000. United States threes declined % and the old fours, coupon, advanced % in the bid price. The following table, prepared by B. W. Bouis, Room 11.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE. Trade Opened Satisfactory in New Year Business. In most lines for the first business day of the year trade yesterday was quite active, especially with grocers and commission merchants. Retail merchants had a big holiday trade and ware well cleared of their stocks. In many lines business hardly got in motion, but the general optnion is that the trade of January will be highly satisfactory with the favorable conditions. The local grain market is rather quiet. Receipts are not a a heavy as they should be, and the high price at which corn is selling has driven the local industries that manufacture products from corn out of the market.

A REACTION IN WHEAT THE CHICAGO BI LLS DUMPED THEltt HOLDINGS AT A PROFIT. Many Professional* Put Out tlie Usual Line of Shorts—-Corn and. Pork Weaker. - CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—The new year on ’Change commenced with a lot of profit taking by bulls. Declines in all the grain and provision markets resulted. Wheat lost l%c, corn va@lc, oats, and provisions 5® 10c. Wheat at the opening and for a few moments following showed comparative firmness, though not as much as was expected from the strong curb markets prevailing since Friday. Opening unchanged, at 71%@ TlTkc, a very moderate buying demand, most of which came from the outside, sufficed to advance the price to 72%c. That was the turning point. Liverpool was only Id higher. Northwest receipts for the holiday interval were 985 cars, small compared with 2,090 last week, but large enough to attract attention. Chicago receipts were 188 cars, ten of contract grade. Paris was reported 55 centimes lower. Argentine crop reports were favorable, although the advices were to the effect that the harvest would be late. There was nothing oppressively bearish in the news, but shortly after the opening it became evident that most of the heavy bull traders were convinced that a reaction was due and that the ruling prices justified profit taking. There was also the selling of wheat by that class of speculators who invariably put out short lines after Jan. 1. Eull news wasj plentiful later in the session, but In the meantime the selling movement had become general, professional short sellers adding not a little to the weakness the market developed by pounding it vigorously. Before noon a very material decline had taken place. May declined to 71V4c, recovered to 71%@71%c under the usual covering by scalping shorts, then declined steadily to 70%c, reaching that price shortly after noon. Weakness that developed in corn was given a good deal of attention by wheat traders and affected prices more or less. Expectations in regard to the visible decrease were realized, the final figures shewing a decrease of 1,590,000 bushels. This rather startled the market after the decline and resulted in a slight improvement in prices during the last half hour’s trading. Clearances from Atlantic ports for two days were 1,376,000 bushels. May ralied to 70%@70%c, and closed at that price. Corn was active and weak. The feature was the closing of a large line of long corn, showing good profits, and which, rtming in on a market naturally a little wobbly, caused a sharp break in prices. Cables weie weak and lower and receipts were large, 963 cars, with to-morrow's estimate .still heavier. Export sales and cash demand nere we*e both small. May ranged from 37 to TBVls@33*ic, and closed %@le lower, at 37Vs@37 l 4c. The market for oats reflected corn in every* particular. There was heavy liquidation by the same parties who were selling errn, and the market was weak from the start. Receipts were also a pressing factor, amounting to 41(5 cars. There was some improvement in tone late in the session, part of the decline being recovered. May ranged from 27*4(0 2764 c to 28V4c, and closed %(q%c lower, at 2764 c. Provisions until late in the day showed a good deal of firmness. There was a very good outside demand for pork and lard, and those products especially showed strength. Selling by packers, however, was heavy, and longs realized on some large lines. The market finally broke in sympathy with wheat and corn, but toward the close support again developed and part of the decline was recovered. At the ciose May pork was about 10c lower, at $10.4764; May lard 5c lower, at $5.85, and May ribs 7*/4c lower, at $5.15.

BOSTON, Jan. 3 —The wool market here continues steady and a fairly good business is In progress. The stock of wool held in this market by dealers 6hows a slight increase over a year ago for domestic wools, but a slight failing off in foreign wool.
