The I’nnhnutlle EarninK a Handsome Prolll—Pennsylvania Own* 70 Per Lent, of the Panhandle Stock.

The oldest of the passenger and freight officials say that in their railroad careers they have never known both passenger and freight rales to be so strictly maintained as at present. The passenger agents no longer call on people who intend traveling, and freight solicitors do not visit shippers, and, finding they are not sure c-f the business, ask for some delay in selecting the route or in naming the rate that they may consult with their superiors, but simply say, "We would like the business, but our instructions are to adhere strictly to tariffs if we expect to hold our places.” One of the fast-freight-line officials said yesterday: *‘i am confident our competitors are holdi#k rates, as a number of our old shippers who have neglected our line for some months are now coming back and without hesitancy giving us their business.” - The tenor of the remarks of a half dozen freight qffleials at this point is that for*once shippers of Indianapolis have been placed on a fair basis with those at Chicago, Peoria and St. lands. The most striking feature of the situation is the firm stand the passenger men are taking. The rules as regards transportation are being strictly adhered to, theatrical troupes, delegates to conventions arm tourists all being obliged to meet the requirements oi the agreement among past- nger men as to numbers and free transportation to be furnished.

What the CominiMloner* Dill Say. There seemingly being a misunderstanding as to what position the interstate-commerce commissioners have taken regarding the efforts of the presidents of the leading roads Os the country to bring about u restoration and maintenance of rates, an official who was present at the conference between the commissioners and the presidents of the trunk lines was asked to state what the commission said, to which he responded: “One power that is vested in the commissioners beyond dispute is the right to investigate the question of rates in any way they think best, and to require railroad men and shippers to testify as to facts. The commission does not propose to inaugurate proceedings against individuals or railroads, but intends to satisfy itself as to facts and then make them public, so that those who were discriminated against or felt aggrieved might, with the information thus given, take whit (ever action they deemed necessary; and, further, that the commission has assurances from some of the railroads that they would aid in this course.” Reply of 11. A O. Receiver*. John K. Cowen and Oscar G. Murray, receivers of the Baltimore & oiho Railroad, have filed in the United States Court at Columbus, 0.. their answer to the cross petition and motion of John Robinson, of Mount Vernon. 0.. who wanted the receivers removed. The receivers admit that Robinson did secure a judgment in the Knox county courts for $1,999, which is still unpaid. They deny that they are not performing their duties as receivers as required by law or •re guilty of malfeasance in discharge of their duties either in matters set forth in the motion of Robinson or otherwise. The receivers claim that through their counsel they have offered to compromise and settle tic judgment of Robinson on the same terms offered to and accepted by other judgment Creditors, but Robinson has refused to accept less than the full amount of the judgment. They want Robinson to file his claim like the other creditors in the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Murylund. Official Clinngei on the D. A 1,. \. With the advent of F. E. Dewey, the new general manager of the Detroit & Urn a Northern Railway there will b< a reorganization of the traffic department of the road, the changes all being effective Feb. 1, being made with u view to retrenchment. D. kC. Copies. general passenger agent, and 11. A. Wilwon. traveling passenger agent, both with headquarters at Detroit: C. W. Morroff, fclty passenger agent at Columbus, and h\

D. Buskirk, general agent at Cincinnati, will also retire from the service of the road. C. A. Chambers, general freight agent, will add the duties of general passenger agent to his position. Other changes are expected on the same date. Personal, Local and General Note*. Controller McElevey, of the Pennsylvania Company, was in the city yesterday on official business. W. C. Arp. superintendent of motive power of the Vandalia, is so 111 as to confine him to his room. ft is stated that General Passenger Agent Caples, of the Detroit & Dima Northern, will retire on Feb. 1. C. L. Allsberry. of Shelbyviile, Ind., has been appointed agent of the Big Four at Fowler, vice O. C. Minor. The shortage of the agent of the Big Four at Fowler was the first shortage of an agent of the Big Four lines in the last ten years. The Big Four has awarded a contract for two new steel bridges over the Cuyahoga river, near Cleveland, on the Bee-line division. P. D. Plank has been appointed master mechanic of the Louisville Henderson & St Louis, vice D. Vanalstine, whose resignation was recently noted. .Tames MeCrea, first vice president of the Pennsylvania Company, was in the city yesterday for a conference with Receiver Malott, of the Vandalia lines. The Order of Railway Conductors. Division 103. will hold a special meeting on Sunday, Jan. 29, at 2p. m. Grand officers will he present and important business transacted. Daniel Johnson, representing the Union Pacific road, is in the city. He reports the passenger business of the Union Pacific as being heavier than in January of last year. The auditors of the several roads centering here yesterday examined the accounts at the Union Railway ticket office and the books of the auditor of the Union Railway Company and Belt road. S. W. Green, chief electrician of the Chesapeake & Ohio, has. through his agents, secured the contract for equipping the trains of the Norfolk & Southern road with his patent electric train signal. The Ohio Falls car works are crowded with buisness. In addition to several large orders for cars heretofore noted, it has this week received an order from the Texas Pacific road for 400 freight care. On Tuesday the friends*of T. J. English, who, on Feb. 1. will leave the Big Four as superintendent of the Cincinnati & Sandusky division, to go with the Baltimore & Ohio, gave him a banquet in Cincinnati. Excess fares on all trains which make the run between Chicago and New York in less than twenty-eight hours either way are to be strictly enforced. They had been quietly dropped, except on the limited trains. The January number of the Big Four Industrial Series is just out. It contains view's of the new interlocking plant at Greensburg, Ind., of the ticket office at Cleveland and a cut and a description of the new Big Four passenger locomotives. Robert J. Baldwin, of the general offices of the passenger department of the Pennsylvania lines west for twenty years past, has resigned to take the general managership of a mining interest at Apex, Col. George Porter succeeds Mr. Baldwin at the general offices. The steadiness of the Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton securities and stock is matter of comment, it not yet having felt the effect of the stock boom. The preferred stock, a regular 5 per cent, per annum dividend payer, is selling at S9O and the common stock at $33. It is said the Pennsylvania now owns a sufficient amount of the securities of the Panhandle lines to fully control it, and that the present upward movement in the Panhandle stock is unnatural, as the Pennsylvania also owns 70 per cent, of the common and preferred stock. J. C. Neal & Cos. a day or two ago got hold of one of the big 80,000 pounds capacity cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad and loaded from their elevator at Bunker Hill 1.500 bushels of corn for Indianapolis, the largest quantity of corn, it is claimed, ever loaded into a car in this State.

J. B. Townley, receiver, and Frank E. Dewey, the new general manager of the Detroit & Lima Northern, are this week making an inspecflon of the property. The Stillwell interests are just now predominating in backing the road. J. T. Odell is with the inspection party, representing Stillwell injerests. The Wabash has more business and more cars than it has engines to handle it, and on its side tracks at Peru, Andrews and other division points has a congestion of traffic. At Peru the company has secured the tw’o side tracks, of the Erie & Western for a few days to be used until the congestion is relieved. T. J. Kizer. stock agent of the Big Four at the Indianapolis stock yards, has just completed his first year in that i-osition. He has largely increased the business of the company, some days thirty-five to forty carloads of stock being shipped East over the Big Four. In December the average was twenty-three carloads per day. Andy Walker, the oldest engineer in time of service on the Vandalia lines, is ill with rheumatism, and is now at Indiana Mineral Springs. Mr. Walker's first >v°rk was a{* an engineer on the Madison <Kr Indianapolis road, he commencing in 1852; a few years later he went to the Terre Haute & Indianapolis. He has been a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers since 1864. President Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, when asked regarding a dispatch from New Haven that he was being considered in connection with the presidency of the New' York. New' Haven & Hartford Railroad, said he was not a candidate for any position in the railroad service, and he did not believe the reports were anything more than idle rumor. The Erie management announces the foV lowing transfers and promotions: Washington Lavery. assistant superintendent motive power Brie lines west of Salamanca, transferred to similar position on the lines east of Salamanca: George Donahue, present master mechanic at Meadville, to succeed Mr. Lavery’; Willard Kells., present master mechanic of the Chicago & Erie at Huntington, transferred to Meadville; J. McLaren, present foreman at Chicago, to succeed Mr. Kells; M. Mercatoris, present foreman at Youngsitown, to succeed Mr. McLaren. The representatives of several “Western railroads which have been in session at Chicago for nearly a week trying to reorganize the Western Passenger Association adjourned yesterday without having arrived at any definite arrangement. Certain transmissouri roads stated they could not become members of any passenger association including the roads east and west of the Missouri river, as they claimed the business could not he divided satisfactorily. The meeting was adjourned subject to the call of the chair. Chief Engineer W. T. Manning, of the Baltimore & Ohio, has invented anew rail that experts say has many points of interest to railroad owners, the principal one being its economical feature. Manning has evolved a plan which, he asserts, will reduce the cost 37 per cent, per ton per year. He adds materially to the life of the rail by placing additional metal in the head and on the side upon which the wear comes. The new' rail will be given a thorough test oti the Baltimore & Ohio, the receivers having ordered 1,000 tons from the Carnegie Steel Company. The Pittsburg & Western has also ordered 500 tons.

There were gains of 1 to 11)4 points in stocks on ’Change yesterday on transactions in excess of 1,000,000 shares, which were widely distributed, many usually neglected shares figuring in the total. The market here opened hesitatingly in sympathy with the irregularity in London, which was a seller of some 20.000 shares in the first hour. The effort of this selling was but slight, owing to the support given by leading interests. The professional element relieved the pressure, which it had been exerting on the market and turned buyers. The commission business was in a fair volume and was disposed to follow advances whenever they occurred. London took back some of her earlier sales on noting the improved tendency. Influences bearing on the situation were the handsome increase in gross earnings for the third week in January shown by the St. Paul. Missouri Pacific and Canadian Pacific. There were a number of very interesting features in the market after the first hour. Metropolitan Street Railway started a sensational advance, which eventually reached 11% points above. Tuesday night’s closing. Manhattan sympathetically made an extreme gain of three points. These movements led to a revival of rumors that Che relations of the two companies had been placed on a more harmonious basis. The impression in the street that in spite of the denial progress is being made in the Vanderbilt plans for bringing the collateral parts of their system into closer financial relations, was partly founded on the extensive and apparently solid character of the purchases of Vanderbilt stocks. In this group extreme gains were made by New York Central of 5%, Northwestern 3V4 and Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis 7%. Union Pacific preferred made a rise of 3)4 on revived belief in the so-called Vanderbilt transcontinental deal, while Lake Erie & Western preferred was up 6)4 points on the idea that the road was being acquired in the interest of the New York Central. The interest switched then Into the low-priced shares, and rises of about three points occurred in Rubber. Chesapeake & Ohio. Pacific Mail. Canada Southern. Chicago Great Western “A” and Rio Grande & Western preferred, while the extreme advance in Toledo & Ohio Central, Rio Grande & Western common and Tennessee Coal and Iron reached five points. The strength of the Rubber stocks was on dividend gossip, that of Pacific Mail on reports from Washington as to the disposition of Congress to subsidize American shipping. Continued talk of the prospect of rehabilitating in the anthracite coal trade brought a rise of from 1 to 2Y4 in the coalers. The grangers likewise were up from 1 to* 2%. except in the case of Northwestern, where the advance was larger on investment and speculative absorption because of increase in earnings. New' York Air-brake bounded up five points and Twin City Rapid Transit eight points. The large and confident purchases of Cleveland. Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis and Chesapeake & Ohio encouraged the idea that the oft-reported “Big Four” deal was on foot again. The closing was firm, well up to the top figures. The bond market developed marked strength as the day progressed and closed active at about the best. Total sales, $5,900,000. Government bonds were unchanged on bid prices.

They were rampant after the opening and

caused quite a great deal of excitement. The crash was stupendous. Members were lifted off their feet and clouds of dust filled the air. The carrying over rates were very high and settlements were incomplete. The Clearing House had the most difficulty in coping with the crisis. The advance continued on the street, where American securities rose sharply. Wednesday’* Bank ( I caring*. At Chicago—Clearings, $22,683,871: balances. $2.839,697, New York exchange, 10c premium.

A trip through the different departments of trade yesterday developed little, that is new. On on the wholesale street and on Commission row a very healthy volume of trade was in progress and with not an important change in values. The flour market carries an easier tone; the hide market is active, but prices fail to improve with the increased activity. Eggs are firmer. Poultry weak at quotations and receipts daily one the increase. There Is considerable activity to the provision markets, but hog products of all kinds rule low. Receipts of hogs at the yards are heavier than in January last year. Wholesale grocers are enjoying an active business. Prices on all staple articles except sugars are very steady. The local grain market Is active. Receipts of corn are large and other cereals light, but all in good request at the following range of prices on track, as furnished by the secretary of the Board of Trade: Wheat—No. 2 red, 70c; No. 3 red, 65@69c; January, 70c; wagon wheat, 70c.

WHEAT SAILS UPWARD WAI.I. STREET JOINS THE BILLS AND M W Ft TI RES TOl CH 73 C. * Market Cloned W ild at t litengo >vith Aluny Baying Orders lmilled— Provisions Inrliiiiiged. * CHICAGO. Jan. 25.—The Wall-street Heal in wheat merrily continued its upward course to-day and some of the gayness of spirit touched the traders in corn and oats. May wheat, after a slight dip early, closed l%c higher. Corn left off at an advance of Oats were benefited %@%c. Provisions are about unchanged. The early Liverpool cables showed that market was making but little response to the advance here yesterday, and this put something of a damper on bull enthusiasm at the start in wheat. May opened %®.%c lower at 72%@73c, and, with more sellers than buyers, it sunk slowly to 72%e. At that point, however, Wall-street bulls sent buying orders and the price soon bridged the gap between 72%c and yesterday’s closing quotation, 73%c. Chicago receipts were 138 cars, against 27 a year ago. and Minneapolis and Duluth got 356 cars, compared with 257 for the corresponding day the previous year. Aggregate receipts at Western primary markets were 662,000 bu, against 304,000 bu a year ago. The comparatively heavy receipts were as little regarded as the unsympathetic character of the Liverpool market. The bulls in wheat, paraphrasing a well-known rhyme, altered to apply to present conditions of heavy receipts, were individually saying, “What care I howmuch they be while Wall-street buyers stick to me." With that refrain in mind and with the desired evidence that New York buying orders could still be relied on they hoisted May wheat to 73%c before the session was two hours old. Clearances of wheat and flour from Atlantic and gulf ports were equal to 418,000 bu, considerably under their recent volume, but that and everything else suggestive of caution in buying was disregarded. A report was current about a half hour from the close that 120 boatloads of wheat had been taken at the seaboard for export, and on that information. which would, if correct, have justified all the prevailing bullishness and encouraged more, the price of May was run up rapidly from around 73%c to 74%c. It had, previously sold as high as 74c, but had reacted %c on some profit taking. The news of the heavy export business proved too good to bo true, and the price slid quickly back again to 73%c on a contradiction. It was discovered that instead of 120 boatloads of wheat being disposed of for export, the message should have read 120,000 bu corn. That the market, however, was running on lines thoroughly independent of export business or other such ancient traditions was quickly demonstrated. The price was on the boom again, with the crowd going frantic in an endeavor to take on fresh obligations, and as the bell sounded at the end of the session May wheat was selling at 75c. with several large buying orders left unfilled. Corn received a good speculative support and was strong in the main after a short period of weakness at the start. The market could not help being influenced by the bullishness of wheat, and made the best prices near the close. Old-time bull leaders came into the market again and bought heavily. A dispatch from New York said the demand from the continent was better than at any time for a month and at a higher premium for spot than previously. Receipts w-cre 408 cars. May opened %'n %e lower at 37%@37%c, and sold sparingly at 37%c. From that it rose to 38%c and closed at 38%c, sellers. The oats market was strong and showed rather more Independence than usual. Prices were strong from the start, although liberal offerings from commission houses were encountered. Receipts were 130 cars. May opened a shade lower at 27%'1127%c, sold at 27%0. then improved to 25% 4 ®28%c and closed at 28%q28%c. Good foreign demand for provisions, including lard, was offset by heavy receipts of hogs. A disposition on the part of holders to sell was manifested and the strength of grains did no more for thp market than to cause the early loss to be about all regained. May pork opened 7%®12%c lower at $10.304t 10.35, and rose to $10.42V 2 , the closing price. The range in lard and ribs was narrow.

AT NEW YORK. Ruling; Price* in Prmlnce at the Seahoard’s Commercial Metropolis. NEW YORK. Jan. 2T*.—Outsiders got under the wheat market again with a vengeance to-day and lifted prices over 2c a bushel from early morning transactions, closing them practically at top and Rfefil%c higher than the previous day. In fact so active was the demand that it kept right along after tfie close, advancing May to 791,4 c on the late curb, or %c higher than official closing figures. To-day's strength was entirely a matter of sentiment backed up by heavy outside orders with Wall street understood to be liberally interested in hoisting the prices. No one pretends to say where the present boom will end. There was a good deal of unloading to-day, but demand kept feverish and easily absorbed ail offerings before they had a chance to affect the market. A question of considerable interest is the attitude of foreign houses who are believed to stand heavily short of the market. Should the advance force covering by this interest sensational features would doubtless result. From tne i ow point of Ttvtic May advanced steadily to .B%e. closing at 78%c.

BOSTON, Jan. 25.—'The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow-: The demand for wool is still quiet. Manufacturers are not buying liberally. The clothing trade are holding off from purchasing, and will continue to hold off as long as they think that it it Is for their advantage to do so. The remarkable strong position of the market abroad has very materially stiffened the ideas of holders of wool here, especially %-hlocd stock, and prices are really firmer than they have been for many months. There has been more activity in Texas wools the past week, the transactions of the week aggregating about 275,600 lbs. Territory wools have been in fair demand, whereas but little business was reported in pulled wools. The sales of the week on the Boston market amount to 2,869,060 lbs domestic and 655.000 lbs foreign, making a total of 3,524.000 lbs. against a total of 2,885.500 lbs for the previous week and a total of 5,138,000 lbs for the corresponding week last year. Sales since Jan. 1, 1899. amount to 13,216,000 lbs, against 19,473,000 lbs last year at this time.
