Important Meeting Helil at Washington on Wednesilit), nt Which Ten Trunk Lliies Were Represented.

The presidents of the ten trunk lines were in conference on Wednesday with the members of the Interstate-commerce Commission. President Thomson was represented by one of the vice presidents, he being detained at home by illness in his family. On Thursday of next week the presidents will hold another conference in Washington with the Interstate-commerce commissioners, who. like the presidents, have taken hold of the proposed reform in earnest. At this meeting on Wednesday there was a good deal of airing of irregularities some of the trunk lines have been indulging in, but the slate was wiped off and every president has pigged himself that if he discovers any irregularities on the part of any competitor the grievance and proof shall be furnished the Interstate-commerce Commission and no rate shall be reduced until the commissioners have thoroughly Investigated the matter and authority to meet any deviation from rates is given by the Inter-state-commerce Commipslnn. On the other band, the Interstate-commerce Commission, in case it. discovers any irregularity, will prosecute the offender to the utmost extent of its power as given by the interstatecommerce act. It will he seen that any general freight agent or his subordinate soliciting agent who cuts a rate will not have to explain to his superior, but will he summoned before the Interstate-commerce Commission to answer for his action. The Interstate-commerce Commission takes the position that there is prosperity everywhere and consequently no excuse for rate cutting. The demand for cars is exceedingly large, the railroads have plenty of business and the volume of tonnage is on the increase. Iti the Chicago and Ohio river territory rates on both passenger and freight 1 raffle are being held to tariff. President Woodford, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A* Dayton, President Carpenter, of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Vice President MeCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines. Vice President McDoel. of the Monon, and President Ingalls, of the Big Four, are under pledge to strictly maintain tariff rates and to resort to no underhanded or dishonorable methods to secure business. The opinion of these officials is that local business on their respective lines should be more closely looked after. The Chesapeake A Ohio. M. E. Ingalls has completed his tenth year as president of the Chesapeake & Ohio road, on which there have been greater improvements in that period than on any like mileage in the country. "When he accepted the presidency the traek was laid with light, rail thinly cross-tb*d, poor bridges tmd but little equipment. Now the track over the mountains and the double traek for quite a distance is laid with rails weighing one hundred pounds to the yard, and < ri other parts of the system with seventy's e-pound rails. There are no finer loeomoA'S than are run on this road, its pas- : eager equipment is second to none and no line makes a better speed record. Wooden bridges have given place to iron structures, and the road, which was ten years ago earning but tt.UOtHOQO a year, is now earning $12.<o*l,ooo a year. In 1808 2,000 new freight cars were purchased and 700 of them paid for. and a number of new engines, interest on <he bonds has been paid and there Is enough money in the treasury to pay Pi per cent, dividend. It is probable that the present year the road will become one of the dividend payers. Freights are moved at a smaller cost per ton per nvie than on any other road in the country. When Mr. Ingalls was elected president the road made, no pretension to being a through passenger Jine and did r.o west-bound freight traffic; now no passenger route is more popular, and its west-bound traffic is heavier than its east-bound business. Personal. Local and General Notes. James Harter, ticket broker, is so ill as to confine him at home. E. M. Newbegin has been appointed New England agent of the Chicago Oreat Western. Traffic Manager Oraybill. of the Tndiansipolis Belt Road and Stock Yards Company, is so ill as to confine him to tils room. Ij. N. Smith, of College Corner, will represent the Kansas City. Pittsburg & <mif lino in central Indiana and Ohio. He is already in the tle)d. Frank EUlmaker, formerly superintendent of the middle division of the Pennsylvania lines, is now general manager of a big system of traction lines In New Jersey. Traffic Manager Rockwell, of the Monon, and General Freight Agent Arnold are making a trip over the lines instructing the agents in the matter of maintaining published tariff rates. It is stated that everything is drifting toward the Southern Railway securing control of the Queen & Crescent, with Samuel Felton holding a high official position with the consolidated lines. The Pennsylvania on Wednesday broke all records, moving through the yards at Mifflin 6,233 cars; there were 102 trains and the same number of engines, and 612 men were required to man them. The Monon was yesterday having more trouble with its bridge over Sugar creek, which is a temporary structure, and yesterday ran its main line through trains via Indianapolis and Seymour. T. P. Scott has assumed the duties of secretary of William Gibson, general superintendent of the Baltimore & Ohio. For some time past Mr. Scott has been with Division Superintendent J. S. Norris. Tiie F. F. V. train over the Chesapeake & Ohio Is scheduled from Cincinnati to Huntington at fifty-live miles an hour, stops to bo deducted, which makes it as fast a train as is the Empire. State express. The receipts from sales of tickets at the passenger station at Connersville. on the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton, for 1898 were :S3 per cent, in excess of 1897 and 14 per cent, ahead of those of IS!':’. In 1896 the Pennsylvania officials at Columbia established a record hv sending east from that point ninety-six trains in one dav. East week the record was broken, nlnetyts.iven trains being sent eastward. Traveling Passenger Agents Orr, of the Southern Pacific; Mart'n. of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy: Bowser, of the Missouri. Kansas r Texas, and Fowler, of the ‘ Illinois Central, are in the city. Tiie roadbed and track of the Big Four lines is now in such excellent condition that but little will be expended in Improvements In that direction, but it is proposed to put considerable money into new engines and cars. Official notice, was received yesterday of the appointment of William S. Bronson as assistant general passenger agent of tin* Chesapeake A- Ohio He is a son of H. M. Bronson, assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four lines. The Grand Rapids & Indiana is handling tnore lumber, coal and Hour than at any time in many years. On Wednesday litis road turned over to the Pennsylvania lines *nd the Nickel-plate one hundred carloads •f flour in twenty-four hours. W. 11. Ha yen, agent of the Monon at Brookston, lad., has resigned to come to

Indianapolis to become secretary of the Monarch Manufacturing Company. He had b< in agent of the company at Brookston for sixteen years. C. H. Kleist succeeds him. John Potter, one of the oldest employes in the shops of the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne <fc Chicago at Fort Wayne. i thought to be fatally ill. He i.- seventy-one years of age, and has long been an expert workman on line work for the interior of passenger coaches, A. N. Brown, who, thirteen years ago. left Terre Haute in enter service on the Santa Fe lines, is now traffic manager of the St. Ixnus, Kansas & Southwestern. On N w Year's day he was presented by the employes under him with a valuable diamond stud. W. H. Brinston, division superintendent of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, whose authority has been extended over the Baltimore A- Ohio Southwestern terminals at Cincinnati, was formerly- a train dispatcher on the Cleveland, Sandusky & Cincinnati road. Receiver Malott. of the Vandalia lines, has purchased from the Schenectady locomotive works four six-w-heel switching engines. This makes eight engines purchased from the same works within a month, the first four being heavy- passenger engines for use on the fast trains. Citizens of College Corner are pressing the management of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton to build anew depot at that point. Tiie present depot was built by J. M. Ridenour when president of the then Junction road. In 1862. and is riot as good a building as many of the barns near the station. Engineer Kelker, on the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago, on Wednesday ran the engine that hauled the fast mail west from Forest to Lafayette. 22.2 miles, in eighteen minutes, making one stop. Kelker is sev-enty-two years of age and has run an engine on that division for forty years. Tiie Pennsylvania is now taking a hand in the fast mail service Beginning with Wednesday, orders w< re issued for the fast mail which leaves New York at 7:15 p. m. to make up as much time as possible between New York and Chicago with safety. The orders say it can overtake a train and pass it. D G. Edwards, passenger traffic manager of the Cicinnati. Hamilton A: Dayton, when issuing new- folders, asks suggestions from the traveling passenger agents us to the needs of the territory to which they are assigned. and in that manner gets valuable iniormation as regards connections, rates and time schedules. Train 24. on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, which is scheduled to cover the 124 miles from Cincinnati to Indianapolis in three hours and five minutes, on Thursday night lost twelve minutes by a hot box just west of Hamilton, and made the run from Connersville to Indianapolis, fifty-seven miles, in fifty-eight minutes, stopping at Rushville. It is stated that Receiver Hunt, of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City, is highly pleased with J. W. Sherwood, general superintendent, and will continue him in the position. The appointment of Thomas Morns as chief engineer of the road, another Big Four man, was a good selection, say railroad men acquainted with the condition of the property. M. E. Newell. Northwestern freight agent of the Lake Shore, will take service with the Vanderbilt consolidated lines and will he succeeded in the Northwest by G. H. Knocke, who formerly represented the West Shore fast freight line on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Mr. Newell is a nephew of the late John Newell, who was president of the Lake Shore. R. W. McKenna, formerly with the Pennsylvania lines, has. after several years' effort. secured letters patent on his whistle used on the rear of trains to warn people of danger, and through this, it is said, will be able to secure at least SIOO,OOO royalty from the roads using it, as it has come into general use. E. M. Johnson, city controller, owns a one-eighth interest in the patent. M. E. Ingalls president of tiie Big Four, expects this year to refund the bonds of 1877, bearing 6 per cent, interest, with a 4 per cent. bond. The road in IS9B earned, above its operating expenses and fixed charges, a 5 per cent, dividend on preferred stock and about 1 per cent, on common stock. With the proposed scaling down of its bond interest the road will, with earnings equal to those of 18348. be able to pay a 3 per cent, dividend on its common stock.

Persistent bear pressure in New York stocks yesterday caused much stock held for a rise to be thrown over, resulting in a considerable break in the specialties and a decline of about a point in many of the railway stocks. The market was broad and unusually active during the liquidating process. Ixmdcn was a seller on balance. The variations in the early quotations at New Y’ork were small, but an unsettled feeling soon set in on evidence that many of the. specialties which have recently been market leaders showed lack of support. There were temporary rallies, one at about midday, bringing prices back to Thursday’s closing figures. Chicago appeared to be a moderate seller, while Washington houses seemed purchasers. At one time or another a pronounced strength and material advance were shown by Colorado Southern. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. Southern Pacific, Western Union, Colorado Fuel and Iron, Rubber. Tobacco, Sugar. Chicago Gas, New Y'ork Air-brake and Manhattan, although the advances in these stocks were partly eliminated, while in the case of Manhat, an and Chicago Gas they declined below Thursday’s close in the heavy liquidation of the last hour. Wheeling & Erie and Ontario & Western were also strong spots. The weakness of the Flower specialties, including New York Air-btake, which lost an caily rise of 6 points, and Brooklyn Transit, which declined 5% from the top. Federal Steel and Chicago Gas receding 2 points, were features in the late decline. A disquieting feature of tiie late trading was a sharp advance in call money, which immediately dropped hack, however, to normal figures on the appearance of a considerable supply. Western Union’s strength was accompanied by gossip that an agreement had been made with the Postal Telegraph Company regarding rates. Talk about the possibility of a rival refinery closing down because of the unprofitableness of present business was simultaneous with a rise of 3 points in Sugar. Considerable irregularity prevailed in the bond markets, speculative issues favoring a lower level in sympathy with the course of stock prices. Total sales, $5,660,000. United States twos, registered, and the fives, coupon. advanced % and the threes and the fives, registered. <4- The old fours, registered. declined % in the bid price.

SMALL WHEAT DEMAND BEARS WERE \OT MOLESTED AND CAUSED A MARKED DECLINE. ChicaKO Tntilers Fonr Liberal Miipinents from Argentine and Russia— Fork's Ilia: Slniuii. # CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—Absence of fresh buyins: orders to-day in the face of heavy liquidation caused a break of considerable dimensions in wheat, corn and provisions. Oats ruled firm and closed unchanged. May wheat lost %'h%c, corn %c, pork 30c, lard 12V 2 c and ribs 5@7%c each. Reports of damages in Argentine crops and unexpected strength at Liverpool after a a *c decline yesterday started wheat strong. May oi>ened : 2 e higher at 7175©717*c and as calls had been sold very freely around 71b>t: sellers of those privileges took fright and in the endeavor to procure wheat they expected to need for delivery on calls May was bid up to 71%<§71*4c. Traders, who had not sold calls were largely In the majority, however, and came into the pit with more wheat than the shorts could absorb. Under this ardent selling the opening strength quickly evaporated and the price of May dropped back to 70>4c. Chicago received 109 cars, of which six graded contract. Receipts in the Northwest were 442 cars, against 428 cars last week and 333 cars a year ago. The seaboard clearances were liberal, 615,000 bushels, but not heavy enough to impart bullishness to the market. Liverpool was V4d higher and New' York reported fifty boatloads sold for expert. The news and conditions of a bullish nature had little influence, however, and the only matters to impress the crowd were probabilities of Argentine and Russian shipments on a liberal scale in the near future. There was a dearth of outside trade, and about the only support the market got on its downward course came from holders of put priveleges. May had one or two sickly rallies, from 70y 2 c and then took another plunge to %c below its previous lowest point, selling at 69%'&69%c. The mark.et became heavy later, but toward the close some covering by shorts caused a slight reaction, and May closed at 70<g707ie. Corn opened strong with wheat and traders for a time bought freely to cover short sales. May opened 7&c higher at 37®3774c, and was bid up to 37 , *c. When wheat began to slump the crowd began to sell short and May soon slid off to 36V 2 c, closing at 26V'!' 36%e buyers. The trade lacked individuality and was entirely of a local character. Receipts w ere 651 cars. Oats were influenced to quite an extent by the weakness in w'hcat and corn, but was the finest of the three. Elevator interests sold quite freely, yet the market absorbed all the offerings and remained firm. Receipts were 179 cars. May opened higher at 27 1 4'27%c, then declined to 27c and closed at 27®27 1 4e. Poor quality of hogs received at the yards was responsible for a strong feeling in provisions early. Liquidation for outside account with the weakness in grains was more than the market could stand and prices declined sharplv. May pork opened 5®7%0 higher at advanced to $10.42V then dropped off to $lO buyers, the closing price. May lard started 2V"5c higher at $5.77*2®5.80, sold to sstßo, then declined to 15.62 V. at the close. May ribs began 2!> up at SS.O?V rose to $5.12V sold down to $4.9< 1 /2 and closed at. $4.97%@5.
