Tourist Agenclei* Not Likely to lie Aliollrthel—Ste;:m Motor* on Suburban Runs—General Notes. ♦ An official of the Pennsylvania road states that within the next two years it is the intention of the company to replace all t ighty-live-pound steel rails with one hun-dred-pound rails and the partly worn rails will go on to the side tracks and the branch roads. The heavy rail is made necessary by the much larger and heavier locomotives the company is putting in service and the use of cars of 100,000 pounds capacity. It takes a railroad man and an observer to comprehend the amazing work done by the Pennsylvania Railroad between Johnstown and Altoona. The newly constructed tracks over which the fast trains arc now running have been built at an enormous expense Projecting shoulders of the mountain have 1 i-tn cut in two, great gaps filled up, and from the summit of the gigantic fold to the level of the sources of the Conomaugn, the line now has a straight course, and tie through west-hound trains fly over the descending grade at a speed of seventy miles an hour. Silurian limestone ballast has been placed on the new fills, and the tracks are perfect. The only thing lacking is the completion of the new improvements on the old Portage line, designed to relieve the present lines, through the Gallitzin tunnel. The wonderful freight traffic of the main stem of the “Pennsy” nowadays is something which can scarcely be realized. On Tuesday the through express. No. 8, passed forty west-bound and tifty-three eastbound trains on its journey from the Pittsburg Union Station to Altoona, and yet the excellent arrangements permitted the train to reach the “Mountain city” on time. The work of grading for the third and fourth tracks between Johnstown and Blairsville Intersection is progressing rapidly, and the rails will be laid next spring. Before two years the Pennsylvania will have a four-track road over the mountains between Pittsburg and Harrisburg and the finest road in the world. More and still greater improvements have been planned by this big trunk line. Mr. Greene’s Resignation. W. M. Greene, before the appointment of Joseph Robinson as coreceiver with Judge Harmon, tendered his resignation as general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railway, as he will in a short time locate in New York. It was the desire of the bondholders and owners of the property and of Judge Harmon that Mr. Greene should be appointed with him, but on account of the rule established by the court that it will not appoint a managing officer of any railroad as its receiver, Mr. Greene could not be appointed. There was nothing against Mr. Greene, whatever in the matter; the court expressly so staled. He will continue as vice president and director of the company, and represent President Bacon and the interests of the reorganization committee and security holders, with his office in New York. He will resume the management of the company’s affairs as Soon as the property is restored to it. If the receivers at any time desire any assistance he will cheerfully give It. Mr. Greene has consented. at the request of both receivers, to remain a short time until they get matters fully in hand.

Tourist AgenrlFN Will Continue. The attempt to prohibit the sale of tickets by tourist agencies is not meeting with unanimous approval, one of its chief opponents being George H. Daniels, general paseenger agent of the New York Central. Ho says he has never known an instance of rate-cutting by them, and he considers them very useful and convenient to the public, as well as valuable to the railroads. If the Vanderbilt lines refuse to discontinue their relations with the tourist agencies the other railroads will not be likely to refuse to supply them with tickets and pay them the usual commissions on sales. "The complaint against the tourist agencies is made only by the differential or weaker lines,” said the general passenger agent of one of the Eastern lines yesterday. “The fact is that the tourist agencies always route business over the best lines. This bars out the inferior lines. Every year they renew their tight on the tourist agencies, but they will not succeed any better this time than they have in the past.” Compulsory Abstinence. The Pittsburg Post says: While it does not appear fair to deprive a railroad man of his morning drum or his eggnog, yet it seems for the good of the service and the reputation of the road that strict antidrinking rules must be enforced. This does not mean that the officials ;*i*i managers will become total abstainers, and fling the demijohns out of the windows of their private cars. They will continue as usual to take a little toddy for their stomach's sake, but it is a case of “Do as 1 say, not as i do,' and what is good for the gander will be no longer good for the goose. The ganders must have their way and the geese must keep their feathers dry or have their quills plucked. Os course, if a man has a bad case of the grip and happens to luvtfe nn original package down cellar he can lock the doors, pull down the blinds and remove the cork gently and take liberal swigs, after which he can preach temperance sermons all along the road and be promoted for strict adherence to the rules. Steam Motor* for Suhnrhan Trains. The Pennsylvania, which has been experimenting with steam motor cars for suburban train service, in competition with electric lines, has had constructed at the Baldwin shops a motor of that class which, it is claimed, gives promise of filling every requirement. It will soon be brought West and put into service on the company's line between Springfield and Xenia. O. The car Is fitted with engine and boiler in the forward part, while the rear part Is tilled with seats for passengers. Being constructed with self-feeding firebox the services of a fireman are dispensed with, and the crew will consist of only nn engineer and conductor. The Detroit iV Lima Northern is als> having a steam motor constructed for suburban service, while other roads are busily enraged In investigating their merits. The C\. I. <& D. has achieved great success in their use on its Cincinnati suburban trains. Ifw Colors for Signaling;. -'*rhe management of the New York, New HaVen & Hartford road is devoting a groat of time to the study of night signals In effort to secure the greatest degree of safejy to its natrons, so far us this result ran !be obtained through the operation of appliances. Immunity from dls*Ktrlis cannot be guaranteed so long as the run, iing of trains depends upon human acc 1P y f but it is the desire of the compat)y l 0 PO pf, r f e< . t its. system that liability , this direction shall be reduced to the tow possible minimum. Experiments are now being tried with yellow for caution, a

color never before used for a similar signal. Green has been adopted as the standard for safety, and the lanterns are being changed as rapidly as possible. The unfortunate incident at Whittenton Junction set the company irrevocably against white for all clear. IVrwonal and General Notes. The Southern Pacific has placed an order for 1.600 box and 700 coal cars. The Pennsylvania will inaugurate its New York and Florida special on the 16th. J. P. Waldo has been appointed trainmaster of the Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee. Yesterday the Southern Pacific inaogujated steam service between New Orleans and Havana, touching at Key West. The Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern has declared a semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent., and an extra of 2 per cent. Samuel F. Hart, chief clerk in the Panhandle freight department at Dayton, 0., has been appointed local freight agent. W. H. Bronson, superintendent of the Ohio division of the B. & O. Southwestern, has had his jurisdiction extended over the Cincinnati terminals. The Valley road will lay eight miles of second track in the mountains near Wilkesbarre, giving the road a double track on its main line from New York to Buffalo. The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis has abolished the office of general superintendent and placed the management of its affairs in the hands of division superintendents. On the Burlington route two freight engines, running between Hannibal and East St. I>ouis and Hannibal and North St. Louis, double the road daily, aggregating 7,175 miles per month each. Earnings of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois the last six months of last year were $2.303>,768, or $133,4823 more than in the same period of the previous year. Everything considered, last year’s showing is remarkably good. A New York special says J. H. Seaman will succeed the late Calvin S. Brice in control of the Cincinnati Northern. He is now secretary and treasurer of that road, but not connected with any other of the Brice lines. The Pennsylvania is back of a scheme to complete the Richmond. Petersburg & Carolina, now building from Richmond, Va., to Ridgeway. N. C., completing a link between it and the Seaboard Air-line and giving a new trunk line to the South. The, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road has acquired the entire capital stock and bonds of the Des Moines Northern & Western Railroad, a majority of which it has owned for four years. The road will be completely merged into the St. Paul system. Among the changes noted on the Chicago & Northwestern are these: A. G. Tallant, late general freight agent at Pittsburg, promoted to be general agent of freight and passenger departments; Charles Traver, traveling passenger agent at Pittsburg, changed to Cincinnati. The Big Four is making extensive improvements in its Columbus yards. The Fourth-street yards are i>eing enlarged to occupy all the space from Fourth street west to High, a distance of 1,800 feet, and extending north to Swan street. The improvements will necessitate an expenditure of about $30,000, and when completed will give the Big Four model yards and terminals. The plan for the reorganization of the Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo Railway Company has been issued, it provides for an issue of $20,000,000 first consolidated one-hundred-year gold bonds to bear 4% per cent, interest, beginning July 1 next. These bonds are to be secured by a mortgage upon all the properties and securities of the Hocking Valley Company and all other property hereafter acquired by the use of these bonds. By a decision of the court at Lima, 0., the confirmation of the sale of the Ohio Southern Railroad is delayed indefinitely. The court vacated the order of Judge Richie granting allowances under the receivership, which the purchasers claimed were excessive. Attorney Judson Marmon made an affidavit that ho had not been notified of the date on which the court would pass on the claims until it was too late to file exceptions. It is officially announced by the officers of the New York. Ontario & Western Railroad that all the coal properties of the Laeakawanna iron and Steel Company in and about Scranton, Pa., formerly of the Lackawanna Iren and Coal Company, estimated to contain from 25.000,000 to 30,000,000 tons of anthracite coal, have been purchased by parties interested in the New York. Ontario & Western Railroad Company, and the transportation of the output will be secured to that company.

LIVE STOCK DISEASES. Smnusury of tile Conditions for tlic Year .Inst Ended. “The veterinary department of the Experiment Station at Purdue University,” said Prof. A. W. Bitting, “has been keeping careful observation upon the occurrence of the diseases of domestic) animals in the State, and a brief summary of the conditions for the past year shows that the greatest loss has been caused by hog cholera. The disease has been general all over the State, but has not so completely devastated all the herds in a given locality, as is often the case. The total loss is probably more than 900,000 hogs, valued at more than $5,000,000. The disease has subsided somewfiat at the present time. The station has used 4,300 pounds of ‘guaranteed cholera cures’ in the past two years without finding a practical remedy. “Cattle were affected by an unusual number of diseases. Contagious sore eyes existed as an epidemic during the late summer. While it did not cause many fatalities. it resulted in much loss in delaying the fattening process and in a diminished! flow of milk. A few weeks later an epidemic of sore foot and mouth disease occurred, also causing considerable loss. Within the past few weeks several hundred tatalities have resulted from eating spoiled corn and fodder. This loss is erroneouvsiy attributed to ergot. Ergot, however, never occurs on corn, and as far as experiments have shown the corn smut does not produce any known disease. The disease is probably produced by some product of the decomposition of the corn. “Tuberculosis has been found w r here it had not been supposed to exist, and requests for tuberculin tests are constantly being made. The station, however, is not prepared to conduct these tests. Symptomatic anthrax caused considerable alarm in some localities. “Sheep escaped disease, as a rule, during the summer months, but late reports indicate some trouble may be expected this winter. Horses have been practically free from epidemics.” VITAL STATiSTICS-JAN. 5. Heaths. Edward McPherson, two and one-half years, 1315 Pleasant street, croup.

MORE GAINS IN STOCKS MOST OF THE NEWS WAS OF A NATURE TO ENCOURAGE HULLS. Specialties Were Particularly Buoyant anti Advances Were Marked —Local Trade Active.

At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 2%®3 i>er cent.; last loan. 2% per centPrime mercantile iaper. 3®3% per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.84%@4.84% for demand and at $4.81%®4.82 for sixty days; posted rates, $4.8213 and $4.85%; commercial bills, $4.5*>%®4.81%. Silver certificates, 59%®60%c; bar silver, 59c.; Mexican dollars, 48%c. At London bar silver closed at 27%d an ounce.

Southwestern preferred, 11,140 Chicago Great Western. Notable gains were recorded in the specialties and some railways on New York Exchange yesterday. The announcement of gold engagementa of a million and a half overcame the reactionary tendency of the forenoon and set the market forging upward, which continued to the close. The conditions of the exchange and money market do not seem to warrant the expectation that the import of gold will be a sustained movement, the theory being that our large balance of trade would not be drawn on largely while money can be loaned at more profitable rates abroad. A lower range of London prices gave a declining tendency to early transactions here. Manipulation of the specialties—Tobacco, Brooklyn Transit and People's Gas—gave better tone to the railways, but on profit-taking there were some very substantial losses. With the announcement of the gold imports in the afternoon the bulls had thrown away, especially in Manhattan, General Electric, Brooklyn Transit, Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. I-ouis and Colorado Southern. The railway shares moved rather sluggishly until late in the day, when an active demand arose for Louisville, Rock Island and the Southwestern group, excepting Texas Pacific, which broke badly at the end. On the publication of a report that Manhattan Elevated was to be electrically equipped by General Electric these stocks, which had each advanced five points, presumably on early information of the reported deal, receded sharply on profit-taking. The purchase of coal lands in Pennsylvania by parties friendly to the Ontario & Western, which, it was inferred, would largely increase the traffic of that road, .rendered that stock active and strong. Reports of the possibility of Brooklyn Union Gas increasing its dividend rate and forming advantageous alliances bettered the price of that stock five points. There was nothing in current news to account for the rise in Chicago Gas except talk of continued good business. Hocking Valley securities were weak on the publication of the reorganization plan, which the movement in the company's stocks and bonds indicated was more drastic than expected. The common stock dropped l%c, the preferred 4, the 6 per cent, bonds 22 and the fives 10, with a subsequent recovery in no case except the fives, which regained 3% of their earlier loss. Brooklyn Transit was very strong, rising 3%. Late in the day it was said that while the contract to equip Manhattan electrically had not been given, confidence had been expressed by General Electric interests that they would get the contract. The bond market was under pressure during the forenoon, but in the late session heavy purchasing orders were distributed, which carried the level of prices above yesterday’s close and imparted a strong tone generally. Total sales, $5,566,000. United States new fours, coupon, reacted 14 and the threes %. The new fours, registered, and the old fours, registered, advanced % in the bid price.

FEEBLE WHEAT SUPPORT CHICAGO BEARS FORCED SHARP DECLINES AND THEN COVERED. Later in the Day Buying Order* Became Numerous and Prices Advanced—Pork Scored a Loss. CHICAGO, Jan. s.—Outside support was lacking to-day and a wave of local bearish sentiment caused sharp declines in both grain and provisions. May wheat closed %@%c lower. Corn and oats lost %c each, perk 15c, lard 10@12%e and ribs 7%@10c. Wheat started firm, but very dull, with few orders from outside. The firmness was only momentary, however, for a good deal of wheat called at the close yesterday had fallen into weak hands and was for sale the instant the price showed hesitation. As long as the market was left in the control of the local professionals the tendency was downward. May, which opened Vie higher at 71@71%c, was hammered down to 70% c before there was any symptoms of recuperation. The recovery was brought about by buying orders commencing to tumble in from outside sources, Induced apparently by the threatened cold weather damage to winter wheat and reports of heavy exports from Atlantic ports. The foreign buying became so persistent that shorts were forced to cover and May was gradually bid up to 71%e. Liverpool was %and higher and receipts were comparatively small, Chicago receiving 104 cars, of which only one car graded contract. Arrivals in the Northwest were 114 cars, compared with 414 a week ago and 357 for the corresponding day last year. The shipments of wheat and flour from Atlantic ports were heavy, aggregating 1,017,0*0 bushels. St. Louis wired that good, soft red winter wheat there was very scarce and that reports from the country described wheat in the fields looking very bad. New York reported a good continental demand for wheat and fifty boatloads sold for export. Under such influences the market held fairly steady until within half an hour of the close, when the buying from outside subsided. The local speculators flooded the pit with long wheat and also sold for the short account. The market became quite heavy under this pressure and May was forced down to 70%@70%c and closed at 70%c. Improvement in the weather, which was favorable for a large movement in the country, weakened corn. Receipts at primary ports were large and clearances moderate. Yesterday's buyers turned sellers and as the demand was not sufficient to absorb the offerings, prices were steadily forced downward. The want of shipping facilities was also a weakening factor, as much corn bought for export could not be forwarded for lack of cars. Receipts were 542 cars. May opened %<• lower at 37%@37%c, gradually declined to 36%c and closed at 3G7W3Bc bid. The declines in the leading grains and a poor cash demand caused a heavy feeling in oats. Liquidation of long property and numerous selling orders from the country caused a sharp decline in prices. Receipts were light, 128 cars. May began unchanged at 27%c and sold off to 27%c, the closing price. There was more or less liquidation in provisions, particularly by certain traders in flour. As the market started out handicapped with enormous hog receipts and a decline in the coarse grains, prises were forced off all around. The demand for products was slow. May pork opened a shade lower at $10.42’,[email protected] and declined to $10.30. May lard began unchanged at $5.55®'5.87% and sold off to $5 75. May ribs started a shade higher at $5.15 @5.17% and declined to $5.03. Estimated receipts for Friday—Wheat, 75 cars; corn, 700 cars; oats, 185 cars; hogs, 35,000.
