Th*‘ Proposed Dismissal of Female iia ilw r y Kmploj <*s—Miscellaneuu* and Personal Notes.

The Chicago & Alton, according to the < 'hicago Post, after its purchase is effected in a be managed by a joint board of directors representing the several interests participating in its acquisition. The syndicate was formed, it is understood, by E. H. Harriman, who has represented in the negotiations with the Alton’s owners more especially the interests of the. Union Pacific and the Illinois Central. The Vanderbilts will be interested in the Alton management ihrough their large holdings in the Union Pacific, if not. indeed, as it is reported, ihrough the presence of the Michigan Central as one of the controlling group of railways. The Rockefellers will have a share of the conduct of the Alton through the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and the Goulds will have a corresponding interest through their Missouri Pacific road. It is believed the taking over of the Alton marks the first occasion which these three great financial interests—Vanderbilt, Rockefeller and Gouid —have joined forces in railway direction. The rum.ns regarding a change of ownership more or less disturb the veteran employes on the lines, as all the executive offi- * rs of the road have been with it twenty years or more. Charles Huntington, general baggage agent, has been with the company forty-one years and is the oldest living baggage agent of America. President Rlackstone has been with the company forty years and lias been president thirty-five years. The terms of service of the others arc as follows: James Charlton, general passenger and ticket agent, twenty-nine years; A. V. Hartwell, purchasing agent, thirty-six years; A. Newman, assistant general freight agent, thirty-six years; General Attorney Brown, twenty-six years; George Charlton, assistant general passenger agent, twenty-five years; Colonel Wood, assistant in the general manager, twenty-iwo years; Vice President Chappell. Auditor Kelsey, Secretary Woo l and General Freight Agent Warm each twenty years. Women Employes on Railways. As the order becomes better understood the proposition to dismiss all women employes on the Chicago & Northwestern, the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, the Union Pacific, the Denver & Gulf, the Oregon Short-line and the Northern and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company It is shown to be eiuite a serious matter, e Mainly so if it is to be extended to other i ail way systems, as it may be. On the lo.ais named the number will run up to the thousands. An official of the Union Pacific says that all phases of the subject were ca: fully considered before the verdict ae inst the female employes was rendered. 1 was not disputed that women do their woiK just as carefully and as thoroughly us in*-a. but the charge that prevailed was that tbe capacity of the average woman for work F much less than that of the average man. W hen called upon for extra services they arc soon exhausted and are unable under Me a circumstances to render the character ci services required by the exigencies of the situation. Again, their sex bars them Horn performing certain lines of work liable a( any moment to be required of any clerk in the service of a great corporation. For instance, in the passenger department it is frequently desirable to put men thoroughly familiar with the ticket business on the road in the capacity of collectors, inspectors and as aids to conductors. If a woman happens to be in a position in the j a-senger department where she has the care of tickets she is not available for such a transfer. The s .nie is true of employing a woman as a ticket agent or station agent along the lines. Higher positions in the service are usually tilled from these positions, and of course it is out of the question of promoting to the position of conductors, train disp.'etchers and division superintendents the women who may occupy these lower positions. Steam Motor Experiments. The Pennsylvania system is experimenting with a steam motor on Western branch lines, and in a few days the Panhandle will r reive from the East a motor car for exJ • rimental purposes on the Springfield branch running from Xenia to Springfield, <>.. a distance of nineteen miles. Tests thus far are understood to have been successful, ar.d to have demonstrated that a combination engine and coach is better adapted for branches of steam roads than electricity, while much more economical than steam trains where travel is light. The Detroit E tna Northern is also having built a similar car for branch lines, while other steam t"ads throughout Ohio are giving the syst- rn a thorough investigation. The action is to meet competition of electric roads. A not tier Receiver for the B. A O. S. W. Judge Harmon, receiver of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad, r.ot being a practical railroad man, it was thought it would be advisable to have some practical railroad man associated with him in the receivership. Judga Thompson, of the United States District Court, therefore, yesterday appointed as eo-recciver Mr. Joseph Robin•on, now with the Norfolk & Western. Mr.

Robinson was once receiver of the Scioto Valtey Railway and made a fine reputation. This was entirely satisfactory to Judge Harmon and to all others interested. Mr. Robinson qualified and gave SIOO,OOO bond, which was accepted. Application will be made for his appointment in other States, just as Judge Harmon waft appointed. The most satisfactory results from the management of the property by these receivers Is expected. A notice like that issued by Judge Harmon on the Ist inst. was issued by the two receivers. Mr. Robinson will return to Kenova to-morrow, and after arranging his domestic affairs will com** back to Cincinnati to assume, with Judge Harmon, the duties of his office. Personal, Lorn I and General Notes. J. Q. Hicks, genera: yardmaster of the Big Four at this point, is so ill as to confine him to the house. The Pittsburg & Bake Erie has cut down Its running time between Pittsburg and Buffalo two hours. George Dowell, general superintendent of the Monon lines, was in the- city yesterday. He left for iAmisvllle last evening. S. B. F. Morse, general passenger and ticket agent of the Southern Pacific, is visiting friends in Ohio for a few days. Within the last sixty days twenty-five engineers. firemen ond conductors have moved with their families from Andrews to Peru, Ind. r Edwin W’orman, formerly with the Vandalia, has been appointed superintendent of the shops of the Bouisville, Evansville & St. Louis at Princeton, Ind. The receipts from sales of tickets at the Union Station for 1898 exceeded those of 1897 $11,201, and were the largest of any year since that of the world's fair. W. W. Peabody, recently general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, who next week expects to leave for the Holy Band, will be absent six months. John F. Miller, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania Southwestern system, is still confined to the house with grip, but hopes to be about again next week. It is stated that some of the insurance companies will renew the old fight before the Indiana Legislature against the Pennsylvania voluntary relief department. Alva Hewitt has been appointed rate clerk of the Big Four at the up-town freight office, vice J. Ferguson, who went with William Sullivan to Richmond as his rate clerk. On Monday George A. Smith succeeded S. J. Casselty as freight and passenger agent of the Peoria. Decatur & Evansville, and will be given the title of general agent. E. E. Smythe. formerly with the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis, has assumed the duties of assistant general freight agent of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf. Employes on the Southern Railway will henceforth receive the same wages as before the 10-per-cent, reduction of 1893. Several thousand employes are benefited by the action. Notwithstanding the reduction in force of employes at the Union Station, there are now eighty-four men employed at the station proper, and they will receive for December service $3,937. It is stated that, before another year the more important roads will abolish the plan of carrying corpses in the baggage car and will insist that remains of the dead be carried in the express cars. There were handled on the Big Four system in 1898 1,780.715 loaded cars, against 1,661.553 in 1897. against 1,525,050 in 1890. against 1.702,018 in 1895, against 1,513,012 in 1694, and against 1,521,220 in 1853. Daniel C. Prescott, general freight agent of the Maine Central, died unexpectedly on Sunday and was yesterday buried at Portland, Me. He was one of the oldest freight officials in New England.

The Wabash fast mail now leaves Toledo an hour earlier than formerly, blit has added several new stops and does not reach St. Louis any earlier than before the new schedule became effective. The Chicago, Fort Madison & Des Moines Railroad was sold yesterday, under an order of the Federal Court. It was bought for $150,000 by Jesse A. Baldwin, of Chicago, for the bondholders' committee. A. <J. Talent, of the Chicago & Northwestern. on Jan. 1 became general agent of the freight and passenger department or the road for territory between Columbus and Pittsburg and Pittsburg and Harrisburg. Charles P. Clark, president of the New Y’ork, New Haven & Hartford, will ask the directors of the company, at their meeting next week, to grant him leave of absence in order that he may take a trip to Egypt. The January number of Locomotive Engineering was issued on time, notwithstanding the fire ana consequent inconveniences, the editor and manager having shown an enterprise which will be appreciated by its readers. W. C. Arp. superintendent of motive power of the Vandalia, was in the city yesterday, last evening leaving for Schenectady to complete the plans and specifications for four large passenger engines Receiver Malott has contracted for. Fire in the paint shop of 'he isashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Road at Nashville yesterday destroyed ten coaches, including President Thomas’s private car and 'be \ i y car of the road. The loss on :he build’ng is estimated at $20,000, and on rolling stock $37,000. An adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway Company was held yesterday for the purpose .I electing directors for the coming year. It was decided to take no action at this time, and the meeting was again adjourned vr. til Feb. 5. Joseph Keavy, division freight agent of the Big Four lines, and his clerical staff yesterday moved their furniture and supplies from Benton Harbor to Indianapolis, and will occupy five rooms in the fourth story of the Ingalls block. This change brings several families to the city. Frank Irish, traveling passenger agent of the Chicago & Northwestern, who a few weeks ago was severely injured in a railway wreck at Rahway, N. J.. is so much better that he has been removed to his home in Pittsburg, but. it is said, it will be several weeks before he will be able to get about. The statement that the Indianapolis division of the Central Association of Railway Officials re-elected the old officers was correct. except that J. W. Riley, superintendent of the Peoria & Eastern, was elected president, being advanced from vice president, and A. A. Zion was elected vice president and George Staats secretary and treasurer. Representatives of the New York and Chicago press and of Harper’s and McClure’s magazines applied for permission to ”ide on the fast trains run from Chicago to Omaha over the Chicago. Burlington &■ Quincy and the Chicago & Northwestern, but the rules of the United States postal service excluded them. Tatcal freight officials were yesterday surprised to receive a notice of a reduction in rates on provisions, for export only, to the basis of 25 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New York, which would make it 23 cents Indianapolis to New Y T ork. 21 cents to Philadelphia and 20 cents to Baltimore or Newport News. There is no secret cut, but an open rate. The Monon has about completed a very important improvement by which it does away with a bad grade in the vicinity of Bedford, Ind. It has built seven miles of new road, from Harrisburg to Smithville, and will run all its through freight trains over this now track, using the main line inly for passenger trains and local freights. The track is up to the best standard. The company is again agitating the building of a road from Cloverdale to Switz City. A trestle on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railway, near Lavvrenceburg, Ind., was burned early yesterday, making a gap of eight feet. It is at a point where a westbound train could not have seen it in time to stop and a wreck in such a case would have been unavoidable. The fire was discovered by Operator Fisher, of the Big Four telegraph office. Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern trains are running over the Big Four tracks until the trestle can be rebuilt. C. W. Shaw, of Bloomington. Ind.. one of the promoters of the Columbus, Bloomington Terre Haute Railway, has been in Columbus for several days awakening an interest in the project. The City Council of Columbus will this evening vote on giving the company the right of way and terminal facilities at that point. Mr. Shaw is confident the road will be built this season. The commissioners of Bartholomew. Monroe. Frown. Owen, Clay and Vigo counties will be asked to call a special election in each of the townships through which the projected road will be built. The promoters ask fora 2-per-cent. tax. The distance from Columbus to Terre Haute is eighty-five miies. x OYSTERS GROWING SCARCE. Chfxnpenkr Buy Cannot Supply Demand of Western Cities. BALTIMORE. Md„ Jan. 4.—An oyster famine is threatened. For the first time the oyster beds of the Chesapeake are failing to supply the legitimate demand. There has been since Thanksgiving an unprecedented demand for oysters from Chicago. Cincinnati and other Western points, and oysters were never so scarce in this city as now. The result is that Baltimore packers are in trouble. They are unable to fill their orders, or to buy in sufficient quantities. Prices have beer run up because of these conditions to a point 20 per cent, higher than at this time Inst year. Oysters have risen in price until they are now selling at 70 cents to $1 a bushel.

BULL FEVER RAMPANT NEW YORK STOCKS BOOMING AND SHORT INTERESTS CAUGHT.

[email protected]. Silver certificates, 60%c; bar silver, 58%c; Mexican dollars. 48%c. At London bar silver closed at 27%d an ounce. Total sales of stocks at New York yesterday amounted to 736.700 shares, /including 17,620 Atchison preferred, 4,415 Central Pacific, 3,052 Chesapeake & Ohio, 6,630 Burlington, 6,506 Louisville & Nashville, 10,520 Manhattan, 10,570 Reading preferred, 6,325 Missouri Pacific, 6,675 Missouri, Kansas & Texas preferred, 6,820 Northern Pacific, 6,405 Reading, 8,820 Rock Island, 14,720 Union Pacific, 29,520 St. Paul, 8,62 e Union Pacific preferred, 28,775 Wheeling & Lake Erie, 4,170 Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred, 3,900 Paper, 7,203 American Spirits, 51,620 Tobacco, 81,820 Steel, 29,620 Steel preferred, 13,920 People's Gas, 10,825 Pacific Mail, 3,003 Pullman, 3,032 Rope and Twine, 28,120 Sugar, 3,500 Tennessee Coal and Iron, 6,420 Leather preferred, 3,020 Western Union. New York stocks were reactionary in the forenoon yesterday, but forged strongly upwards in the afternoon, led by high-priced specialties, including Brooklyn Transit, Sugar and Tobacco. The opening was irregular, with a tendency both in New York and in London to take profits and prices reacted moderately after the initial trading. Professional traders sought diligently to reach stop-loss orders. Many shares eased off considerably, but a number of stocks showed marked resistance, notably Brooklyn Transit, Pullman, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis and Great Northern preferred. St. Paul maintained a point advance on its remarkable statement for the fourth week in December, showing an increase of nearly $252,000 in gross earnings. A better feeling developed in the afternoon arid continued until the close. Brooklyn Transit made a total gam of eight points on its showing of an increase of $664,657 in its gross earnings for the year. There were insistent rumors of a pending deal which insiders would not discuss, but there were intimations that the control of surface and elevated lines in Brooklyn might come into the hands of the company. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis advanced four points on confident buying which, it was conjectured, was due to a desire of the parent company (Pennsylvania) to form a closer union with its Western lines. While there were gains in many cases and the closing was strong, the advances in standard shares were generally moderate. The rise in wheat stimulated interest in many of the Western railroad shares. The advance of five points in American Tobacco was unaccompanied by any new developments in the property. There were large purchases by interests identified with the company and the movement was thought to foe manipulation against the short interest which has recently been created by the formation of rival concerns. The Reading stocks were pressed for sale in the early hours and declined sharply. These shares failed to respond to the subsequent general show of strength. The bond market lapsed into dullness, but there is no abatement of the recent pronounced strength. Total sales, $3,355,000. United States twos, registered, declined % and the threes and the new fours, registered, % in the bid price. United States new fours, coupon, advanced 14. I’he following table, prepared by L. W.

ClenrinK-Hoii*e Record Ilroken. At New York—Wednesday was a record-breaker in the New York clearing house, both in amount of exchanges and the magnitude of the balances. The highest former exchanges were beaten by about $20,000.'00. the record now being $315,236,183. as against $295,000,000. the highest exchanges heretofore on record. The balances were $17,163,312, as against the largest heretofore of $17,000,000. At Chicago—Clearings, $29,890,442; balances, $1,980,914. New York exchange, 15c premium.

Warm, rainy weather is not what is desirable to make business good in January and in all lines It was rather quiet yesterday, but prices are well held, the changes in values being slight from day to day. The wholesale grocers report all staple articles, unless it be sugar, as very firm. Dry goods men speak of prices as hardening. On Commission row vegetables are selling at low figures for a winter month, while fruits, especially apples, rule unusually high, as most of the stock comes from the New England States. As ut-ual following tire holidays, poultry is weak and the egg market easing up somewhat. Provisions are moving fairly well at steady prices. The hide market is more active and prices unchanged. Coal is In active demand at prices quoted. Koed merchants are doing little. The leather and iron markets are both in strong posit on. In other lines there are no new features. The local grain market shows a little more

activity, the higher price for com increasing shipments. The local demand has fallen off. prices being too high. Track bids, yesterday, as reported by the secretary of the Board of Trade, ruled as follows: Wheat —No. 2 red, 69%c; No. 3 red, 64%#68%c; December, 69%c; wagon wheat. 69c.

WHEAT TURNED UPWARD QtlfK RECOVERY FROM THE EFFECTIVE BEAR RAID OF TUESDAY. Export* Heavy and Cold Wave Indication* Gave the Bull* the Necessary Courage—Pork Steady. + CHICAGO, Jan. 4.— Heavv exrort clearances, diminishing receipts and predictions of a cold wave caused a sharp advance to-day in wheat. May closed with a gain of %c. Corn advanced %c and oats %c. Pork lost 2%c, lard advanced 2%c and ribs are unchanged. The Liverpool wheat market was the chief Influence here at the start. Cables here came Id lower for futures. Such apparent eagerness abroad to emphasize the weakness in this market caused the selling out of a heavy line of long wheat here. May opened a fraction lower, with sellers at 70%c down to 70%c. So much was for sale that the price was forced down to 70%c before intending buyers could shout bids. The Atlantic port clearances, however, began to have a bullish effect, when Philadelphia reported 370,000 bushels, w T heat and flour, shipped for export. When other seaboard cities swelled the total exports for twenty-four hours to over 1,100,000 bushels the feeling of speculators found expression in a quick advance to 71%c. Kansas City wired that the day’s receipts were not sufficient for local milling requirements and Minneapolis reported such urgency in the demand for to-day's offerings of cash wheat that the price was advanced to a slight jaemium over the May delivery. Chicago receipts were 205 cars, of which ten graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 584 cars, as compared with 353 last year. The general response to inquiries concerning future country movement of wheat in the Northwest was that it was likely to be still smaller in the near future. Atlantic port clearances when finally reported in full aggregated 1,300,000 bushels. Bradstreet’s report of changes for the week in the world’s visible showed an increase of only 377,000 bushels, compared with five times more than that a year ago. Reports of a cold wave from the North, which it was claimed would cause severe damage to the winter wheat, has a strengthening influence. The market near the close became very bullish. Shorts covered freely and there was heavy buying for the long account, which resulted in advancing May to 71%c. That was above call price and realizing on privileges caused a slight reaction near the end, May closing at 71%(&71%c. Wet weather, which was considered likely to curtail receipts, strengthened corn. There was also a good export demand. Prices sagged a trifle early on scattered selling from the country but when the price got around 37%c the old-time bulls took a hand and a quick rally followed. Receipts were liberal, 1,075 cars. May opened a fraction higher at 37%#37%e, sold sparingly at 37%c, gradually rose to 37%c, then reacted to 37%@37%e at the close. Oats ruled active and higher. The advance was due to a good cash demand, moderate receipts, unfavorable weather and the advance in other grains. Receipts were 310 cars. May opened up a fraction at 27%#27%c, weakened to 27%@27%c, advanced to 27%c and closed at 27%c. A disappointingly heavy increase in the stocks of hog products for December depressed provisions early. At the resulting decline commission houses had numerous buying orders and packers, who were free sellers, turned buyers, the consequence being a recovery of practically all the decline. May pork opened 7%@17%c low’er at $10.30 and advanced to $10.45. May lard began 10c down at $5.75 and improved to $5.87%. May ribs started 10c lower at $5.05 and rose to $5.15.

BOSTON, Jan. 4 —The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the wool trade: While the volume of transactions the past week has fallen far below that for the corresponding period last year, nevertheless the’e has been more than the usual amount of activity for th opening days of the year. The market has been influenced by the holiday season and by th* fact that everybody's attention has been more or less devoted to closing up the books for the year. The next event which everybody is looking forward to is the opening of the heavy weight season. which will probably take place within the next two or three weeks. There is a feeling of mild hopefulness on the part of the wool trade as regards the character of the next good season. The sales of the week in Boston amount to 3,079.000 lbs domestic and 717.000 foreign, making a total of 3.796.000 lbs. against a total of 3.795,000 for the previous week and a total of 7,650,000 for the corresponding week last year.
