SAYLES, 135 East Market St. MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE SUCCESSFUL RAILROAD MEN BEGIN AT THE BOTTOM AND WORK UP. Common Time and Common Fare to Be the Nlotto of the Vanderbilt Lines —General and Personal Notes. A railroad official who commenced as office boy, but who now holds an important position and is an unusually capable railroad man, said yesterday that he was afraid that many of the young men who are being turned out of the universities and colleges as full-fledged railroad men would be disappointed when they ventured into railroad service, as they will aim too high. Already he had received several applications for positions from young men who have been educated in these technical schools, and from the tenor of their application, either in person or by letter, one would think they could step on a locomotive and run it as well as the oldest engineer on the road, or enter any line of transportation and perform the duties of a veteran in service; but they will have to learn that, while their technical education may in time he of benefit, in the beginning it will be of little avail. A man must begin at the bottom rung. It is experience and cjose attention to duty that puts a man Ln line of rapid promotion. If one will study the railroad situation he will find that 95 per cent, of the men who make a success in railroad work are those of years of experience, commencing in the yards, switching or carrying the rod, surveying a railroad line, in the engineering department, or as messenger boy in some superintendent’s office or at some telegraph office; the other 5 per cent, reach office through nepotism or favoritism. “The trouble.” said the railway official, ‘‘is that the students of colleges will not take the position of a fireman, brakeman or yardman. but want to step into good positions without experience.” The Pioneer of Progress. One of the speakers at the banquet given by the Republican Club of New York city for Senator-elect Chauncey M. Depew was George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central, who, after appropriate remarks regarding the senatorelect, said: “It is to my mind peculiarly fitting that just at this time, when transportation is occupying so large a place in the public mind, not only in this country, but in every country on the globe, the Empire State of the Union should select as its representative in the most important legislative body in the world a man whose whole life has been spent in the closest association with the transportation interests of the country, and that, nowithsanding the prejudice which has so long existed in the minds of many otherwise fair-minded rnen against railroad officials as such, the representatives of his party have paid a railroad man the unprecedented compliment of a unanimous vote for the most important position within their gift. It is a fact not generally known that the two men who are nearest to the Czar of Russia, and who perhaps have a greater influence than any others in shaping the internal poliev of the present government, are M. Witte, ‘the imperial minister of finance, who sixteen years ago was a station agent at a small station on one of the railways of Russian Polandthe other is Prince Michel HilkofT. who forty years ago was learning the trade of a mechanical engineer on an American railroad, and is to-day the imperial minister of wavs and communication of the Russian empire and one of the Cabinet of the Czar Before the railroads were built it took a week to go from New York to Buffalo nearly three weeks from New York to Chicago; at that time no one would have though of taking a trip from New York to the Pacific coast, except a few of the hardiest of pioneers, and when the goodbyes were said it was expected on both sides that it would be forever. To-night if you place a letter on the Pacific and Oriental mail train, which leaves Grand Centra) Station at 9:15. you may be sure that your correspondent ln San Francisco will be reading it Sunday night—four days from New York.” The Mon mi' Svit* City Branch. The Monon engineers yesterday completed their survey to Switz City. The proposed new railroad leaves the Monon at Cloverdale, in Putnam county, and runs in a southwest direction to Patrieksburg, in Owen county, thence to Olay City, in Clay county, thence by way of Alum Cave, in Vigo county, to Dugger, in Sullivan countv. and from there to Switz Citv by way of Linton. Greene county. It passes through the center of the greatest coal field In Indiana. and will connect with Ihc Monon at Switz City. It is generally believed that the Southern Indiana Railroad will be extended to Linton from Elnora early in the spring, and perhaps to Terre Haute. This Will give Linton four railroads and will make it the largest town between Indianapolis and Vincennes. Linton now has eight large coal mines, which have a daily capacity of 225 cars, and the coal industry is in a very prosperous condition. The miners in and around Linton are receiving over S3OOOO per month and they are generally satisfied with the present scale of wages. Nev Sleeping Cur Patent. A dispatch from Muncie last night says: **Dr. William T. Eustes, who has invented many valuable patents, the latest of which la a combination day and sleeping car. is being swarmed with offers from the two big Bleeping-car companies and several railroad companies who desire the patent exclusively but the doctor has not decided whether to sell the patent or accept some of the many offers of capitalists to establish u factory

somewhere in the gas belt and build the ears himself. The best offers have come from the Pullman Company and the Big Four Railroad, but he has a pocket full of letters offering him transportation to different cities, where the officials of other roads desire to know the particulars of the invention that seems of such great importance. Railroad men who have examined the models of the patent’say that the invention is a remarkable one.” Personal, I.oral mill General Note*. The heads of departments on the Big Four will to-day hold their regular monthly meeting In the city for conference. The Schenectady locomotive works expect to ship two of the large new passenger engines building for the Vandalia lines by Feb. 15. The Monon lines earned in the second week of January $55,163, against $49,431) in the corresponding week of 1898, and against $43,032 in IMG. H. F. Houghton, superintendent of the Chicago division of the Big Four, has so far recovered from his recent illness as to be at his post again. The Wabash will this season complete the laying of its main line between Peru, Ind., and Detroit, with steel rail weighing eighty pounds to the yard. The Lake Erie & Western earned in the second week of January $62,647, against $55,562 in the corresponding week of 1898, and against $62,731 in 1897. Isaac Bromley has been appointed general advertising agent of all the consolidated lines of the New York. New Haven & Hartford. The office is an important one. The improvements that the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago has under contemplation at Allegheny will cost $1,500,000. The new- bridge across the Allegheny river will be included. Western lines yesterday brought in eigh-ty-seven carloads of corn for Indianapolis industries. Shipments of corn this week promise to he the heaviest at any time in some months. The engines the Baldwin locomotive works are to build for the Erie road will be of the Vauclain type, have 22 by 26-inch cylinders, a driving wheel six feet in diameter, with 82,000 pounds resting on the drivers. The common stock of the Big Four yesterday touched the highest figures since issued, $56 per share. It has been predicted this month it would go to S6O per share. The preferred stock yesterday reached S9B per share. The earnings of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines are said to be highly satisfactory at present; especially is tiie*r coal traffic large, and for several months it has exceeded that of any fall and winter of some years. The business of the Panhandle at Columbus, 0., has so increased that the engineering department has been instructed to lay out a larger system of tracks and to make surveys to see what additional land needs to be purchased to enlarge the yards. Passenger men seemingly are carrying out their instructions as to strict maintenance of tariffs, more strictly, if possible, than are the freight men, and many persons who have been favored with half or shaded rates on some slight excuse have to pay full tariff rates. Frank Janes has been appointed traffic manager of the American Linseed Oil Company. Mr. Janes, from 1875 to 1892, was division freight agent of the Pennsylvania lines at Toledo, and later general freight and passenger agent of the Findlay, Fort Wayne & Chicago. The fact that General Manager Halsted, of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, has declined to accept the presidency of the road with the retirement of Samuel Sloan, is giving the officers and employes on the lines much anxiety, as most of them have been on the road from boyhood. J L. Grav, general manager of the White Pass & Y'ukon road, writes that the line is completed from Skaguay to White Pass, and work is being pushed on the extension to Selkirk, a distance of thirty-two miles. Over 6,000 men are employed in construction of the line, which is being built with money furnished by English capitalists. The Big Four has under contemplation the laying of a second track on ten or twenty miles of the division between Indianapolis and Cincinnati this year. Forty-three ot the 110 miles will then be double track. It is President Ingalls’s intention to make the line double track between Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and all improvements along the road are made with this expectation. Dr. Talbert, medical examiner of the Indianapolis division of the Panahandle lines and of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, last evening went to Vincennes to pay SSO) to Mrs. John Murdock, wife of a ilagman on the road, he being a member of the Voluntary Relief Department and dying of pneumonia. He was one of the oldest employes on the Indianapolis & Vincennes in time of service. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton has the plans for its new city freight depot at this point completed. The structure will parellel the Monon city freight depot between New' Jersey and East streets, and the ground purchased from the Indianapolis Carpenters’ Union will be utilized for a s\stem of bulk tracks. The bulk tracks will be used jointly by the Monon and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. Chauncey M. Depew denied yesterday the story that the New York Central was planning a transcontinental line. The report was that the Central was about to purchase the Northwestern road, and have a route from New York to Buffalo, the New York Central; Buffalo to Chicago, the Lake Shore; Chicago to Omaha, the Northwestern; Omaha to Nampa, Ida., the Union Pacific; Nampa to Portland, the Oregon Railroad and Transportation Company. It is stated that I* E. Dewey, on becominer general manager of the Detroit & Lima Northern, will generally reconstruct the heads of departments and introduce entirely new methods. His experience has been entirely on Eastern lines, and he is more like, ly to get valuable new ideas on Western lines than he can bring from Eastern ideas. The most competent railroad officials now on New York and New England roads were educated on Western lines. The Seaboard Air-line has given notice that it will cut rates from Atlanta and Athens to Portsmouth and Norfolk from 2a to 20 cents per hundred, beginning ( Feb. 1. The Southern gives evidence that it is the fight to stay, for authority has been secured from the railroad commission to reduce the Brunswick-Savannah rate from 19 to u cents which preserves the differential or b cents which originally existed between rates to those ports and the Norfolk-F ortsmouth rates. The Central Georgia will again reduce its rates to Savannah. General Passenger Agent Ruggles, of the Michigan Central, w'hen asked to explain why that road and the Shore had withdrawn from the Chicago Railway Passenger Association, the oldest organization of the kind in the West, said: "We do not propose to be party to any association punishing a rate sheet which implies a recognition of the differential fare principle, or which can possibly be construed as an •itrreement between roads to maintain cerffin mtes. The motto of the Vanderbilt lines is to he ‘common time —common fare, time—common fare.’ ” That the Erie Railway proposes to maintain rates Is evidenced in the following circular letter sent out by D. I. Roberts, general passenger agent of the Erie lines East and WesT ’im and after the 22d inst the Erie Railroad Company assumes full responsibility for maintenance of rates on tickets y of its issue from points in trunk line territorv to destination, and in order lvft there mav be no deviation from published fares connecting lines are respeetmilst S not °ei t h e'r ment of commi^on g to the agent or^lnwn""rates on'tickets of this company’s issue Your full co-operation in this matter win be appreciated.” SALES OF HEAL ESTATE.

At New' York yesterday money on call was steady at 2%@3 per cent.; last loan, 2% per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 2%®3*i per cent. Sterling ’exchange was steady, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.84%@4.85 for demand and at $4.52%®4.83 for sixty days; posted rates, $4.83% and $4.85%; commercial bills, $4.80%® 4.85.

Speculation in stocks yesterday passed previous high record marks, both in volume and in prices attained. Transactions in stocks figured for 1,020,00) shares, and the sales of bonds reached $9,u46,000. Trading was furious at the opening and the hignest prices were reached in most stocks on the initial bulge, with advances of 5 to 10 points in some cases. There were subsequent violent breaks on enormous realizing ot protits. 't he market then became quieter until another exhibition of strength in the afternoon, when the coalers and Gould stocks got to tne best. The bank statement, whien seemed to assure easy money, was tne mainspring in tne market’s strength. London opened firm, but declined on operators taking profits and then steadied on curb transactions. The extent •of the public’s interest in the market was reflected by the congestion of business on the Stock Exchange and in the commission houses. For instance, it was announced to a broker’s customers to-day that all orders would be taken subject to delay, as their representative on the floor was unable to attend to all of their business and that floor brokers were refusing orders, as they had more on their hands than they could execute. It was the usual thing to refuse to accept stop-loss orders, as the trading was tote violent to guarantee their execution. ' As an incident conveying an impression of the extent of the early advance was that a customer that had, given an order to sell a block of an active issue received $2u,000 more than the order called for, owing to the violent rise while the order was being executed. Large operators w r ere believed to have realized heavily in the early dealings, but there was said to be considerable taking back of stock in the afternoon that had been sold earlier, and round amounts of stock were covered by ihe traders. Some of the more rensatmnal movements were an advance of 19% in Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago A St. Louis tc )8, a decline of 1$ and a net gain of i%. Canada Southern advanced 10%, reacted 10 and gained 3%. C., C., C. & St. L. rose 8%, dropped 4 points and closed within one of the best. New York Central advanced 1%, fell back 5% and ended with a net loss of %. Manhattan rose fractionally, broke 3 points, rallied 4% and closed vs up. At one time or another in the trading ‘here were extreme advances in the following stocks, not previously enumerated: Reading first preferred, 7%; seconds, 3; Pennsylvania, 6%; Twin City Rapid Transit, 5%; Ontario & Western, 5%; General Electric, 4%; Lackawanna, 4%; American Malt, 4*4; Lake Shore and New York, Chicago & St. Louis first preferred, 4 each; International Paper, 4%; New York Central, 4%; St. Louis & San Francisco second preferred, and Delaware & Hudson, 3 each, and Northwestern and Western Union, 2%. After the early rise the heavy selling movement dropped prices rapidly. Brooklyn Transit. Union Pacific, St. Paul, New York Central and many other stocks yielding front 2 to 5 points. The market became dull in the afternoon, but livened up later under the leadership of the coalers. Enormous purchases of Reading carried the price up 7% and other coalers were lifted from 1% to 4%. The movement spread to Ontario & Western which jumped 5% on transactions of over 200,00) shares. The belief seemed to be that the company would benefit by the better conditions which were said to exist in the anthracite coal trade. It was said that a plan for harmonizing the contiicting interests in the trade had reached a preliminary stage. Grangers were rather quiet in the afternoon. Speculative interest centered in the specialties. Notwithstanding the undertone of strength in speculation many shares closed notably lower. The more prominent were Union Pacific preferred, Omaha, Federal Steel, Brooklyn Transit, Consolidated Gas, New York Central and Glucose, which were off from 1 to 1%, while New York Air Brake suffered a loss of 3%. The strength in Pittsburg, Cleveland, Columbus & St. Louis was said to be founded upon confidence that the legal position of the minority stockholders would lead to the beginning of dividends within a comparatively short time or in the sale of the minority holdings in blocks. The extraordinary spurt in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Ix>uis was on a statement that the Vanderbilts had acquired the property. In some quarters the denial of the reported plan of the controlling interests in New York Central as far as they relate to other railroad properties were regarded as technical. The market closed strong. Railroad bonds showed considerable strength during the forenoon and record prices were obtained in many issues. In the subsequent dealings the market displayed considerable Irregularity which continued to the end. United States old fours, coupon, and the fives, coui*on, advanced % in the bid price.

Oat* 3-8, Mess Pork 12 1-2, Lard 7 1-2 and Ribs 5. ♦— CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Wheat speculators, affected by the excitement in Wall street to-day, ignored all bearish news and, under the vigorous buying that prevailed, May wheat closed at an advance of l%c. Corn was aided by the same indefinite, but powerfully effective speculative sentiment, and advanced le. Oats benefited to the extent of %c and provisions gained 12%c in pork, 7%c in lard and 5c in ribs. Higher cables from Liverpool and nervousness on the part of shorts started wheat firm. May opened %®%c higher at 7.@ 71VsC and made a further advance during the next few minutes. Wall-street securities were as active as ever, and showed the same remarkable tendency to advance that has been the wonder of onlookers for three weeks back. The wheat speculators here could not help being influenced bullishly by such an exhibition of unexplainable strength, and as the session advanced the market became very strong. VV oriu s shipments of wheat to Europe last week amounted to 6,406,020 i bushels, and all but 1,208,0C0 of that was from American ports. The visible supply inert'ased 338,000 bushels, compared with 655.060 decrease the corresponding week last year. As an increase of 1,0(X),000 bushels had been expected the bulls became more active than ever and a little more was added to th* price, May advancing to 71%c. The seaboard clearances of wheat ana uoui at tne Atlantic seaboard amounted to 788,000 bushels. Chicago receipts were 189 cars, of which one-quarter graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth received 848 cars, compared with 786 a week ago, and 425 for the same day last year. Primary Western receipts were 996,000 bushels, whereas on the corresponding day a year ago but 484,000 bushels came to hand. During tne afternoon the indications were very apparent that Eastern operators with stock market profits were buyers of wheat here and local shorts made their peace with the market and went long. On this renewed demand May advanced to 71%c. On the bulge there was heavy selling by commission houses, but when the offerings were finally absorbed without setback to the price, May took a jump to 12Ca~2%c.. The market was stronger in the last half hour than at any time in a month and May closed at 72c, buyers. An increase in speculation and a decidedly firm undertone were developments in corn which were attributed directly to the rapid pace of the New York stock market. The rally was momentarily checked by the large visible increase. 2,699,009 bushels, and by the increase in stocks here of 1,238,000 for last week. The great strength of wheat near the close caused an access of energy to be displayed in the buying of corn and the close was at the top for the day. Receipts were 517 cars. May opened %#;,4c higher at 37%#37%c and improved to 38c, the closing figure. Oats shared in the general bullish feeling that prevailed on the floor. Trade was of a fair volume and pretty well scattered, although buying by shippers was conspicuous enough to be a feature. Receipts were 177 cars. May opened higher at 27%c and advanced to 28c, the closing price. The strength in grains and the influential buying developed a strong undertone in provisions. There was a little realizing earlv, but offerings were readily absorbed, and the session ended with an advance all around. Estimates of stocks for the month show an increase of 15,000,000 pounds in ribs, 38.000 tierces in lard and 17,000 barrels pork. May pork opened unchanged at $10.2214# 10.25 and advanced to $10.35, the closing figure. May lard began unchanged at $5.82%, sold at $5.8(1 #5.82%, advanced to $5.92)4 and closed at $5.90. May ribs started unchanged at $5.1214, sold at $5.10#5.12%, then improved to $5.17%, the closing price.

AT NEW YORK. Advance of 1 1-4# 1 1-2 e In the Price of heat— Other tlnntntinns. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—There was an advance of 1%@1% in the price of wheat today, attended by more active speculation, particularly in the last hour, when the top notch was reached. A prominent part taken by outsiders in buying operations led to the natural conclusion that the public was at last getting interested in wheat and would become the foremost factor in regulating prices, in face of the well-known bearish attitude of foreigners or any other consideration calculated to affect adversely the evel of values.

Union Stock Yards R. It. Shiel A to.’* Antl-Tra*t Live Stock Market Report. Indianapolis, Ind.. Jan. 23, 1899. W© had good receipts to-day for Monday—two cars more than one-third of all hogs here. It is marvelous, the steady increase in business. It is just lour months since the trust passed their resolution putting us out of business. Their main reason was that we would not buy culls and wagon-slop hogs at the same price as the very best hogs. They had passed one rule after another and we submitted to them. One was demanding us to weigh on scales we knew were not correct. These scales have since been taken out and repaired but they found they could not be repaired right, and they had new ones put in. We were buyers only up to then, but appealed from the Trust to the country shippers, ami they have coma to our rescue manfully. The first two months w© received 295 cars, and we then predicted that w© would receive 800 the next two months, and we went 'way over our predictions. The third month we received 470 cars and the fourth 499 cars, making a total of 1,364 cars in four months, and lt that time we shipped out 860 double-decks. We have hand ■<l 2,224 cars in and out. Now we predict, and e cannot be mistaken, that in four months mo.e we will be handling one-half of the stock coming to this market. The country shtpikts that commenced with us are still with us. They are ell pleased, and our Eastern customers ha* but one complaint, and that is we do not get enough hogs, and they luive sent their orders elsewhere. We are a regular commission firm, and buy and sell both. The Trust often sells hogs at 10c less than we would be glad to pay for them. To-day we could have used all the hogs here at 5c more than the Trust sold them for. We quote: Prime. 250 to 350 averages, at $3.77%®3.85. and 200 to 230 at $3.72%@3.77%, and 160 to 190 at [email protected]%; pigs and light Yorkers at [email protected].
