A NATURAL ACQUISITION ANOTHER. RATE DEMORALIZER TO BE ADSORBED BY A STRONG LINE. Probable Acquisition of the P., D. & E. by the Illinois Central General and Personal Xotea. Rumors of the coming absorption of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville by the Illinois Central havo been persistent during the last week, and with apparent Justification. The line would be a natural acquisition for the Illinois Central, and Its absorption would not only be an unquestionable benefit to the territory directly served by the Evansville road, but it would be another step in the evolution of the transportation system of the country. Never has it been made more evident than during: the last few months that It is the weaker and more irresponsible lines that have to answer for most of the rate demoralization. In bad times, when all roads .alike are fighting unscrupulously for business. It is always difficult to trace any particular demoralization to Its source. Of late, however, the cutting and illegal practices have been almost entirely confined to the weaker roads. Every step In consolidation, every time that railroad Interests become centered In fewer hands, the chances of rate wars and of law breaking are diminished. Nothing of the proposed deal is known In Evansville. A special from that city says: "Receiver E. O. Hopkins is now in New York, and the officials know nothing of the deal. If the Illinois Central has gained control it is through the purchase of the majority of the morteagre bonds of the P., D. & E. Before the Illinois Central can take charge of the road, providing the rumored deal is correct, it will have to be sold and taken out of the hands of the receiver, who is 4he officer of the United States Court. This will take at least six months." IVrsonnl, Local and General Notes. 'Judge Bacon, general agent of the Chicago Si Rock Island, is in the city.

The sal was by order of the UrJtrt States Court. The road extends

from Versailles to Irvine, sixty miles, f nd cost Jl.700.0u0 to build and equip, eight years ago. The Railway Journal for May is out and Is an unusually interesting number, amcng other things presenting a cut of the new building to be erected at St. Louis lor the railroad branch of the Young Men's Crrtstlan Association, to cost $7o.0. Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern Railroad Company, announces that the company has leased the South Carolina & Georgia and will at once take possession. In future It will be known as the Charleston division of the Southern Railway. The Clii-ago & Eastern Illinois is credited by experts with having the best bridges of any road of like mileage in the country. There is not a wooden structure on the entire line. tVery bridge being constructed of steel and of the most approved iattcrn. On May 1 the New York Central put on its Pan-American express, a train wr-ll up In the Central standard, to run between New York and Buffalo, on nearly as fast a schedule as that of the famous Empire State express. Xhe name has been copyrighted. William Baugh. the veteran Vandalia engineer, was taken to his home from the Union Hospital. Terre Haute. While he has not fully recovered his strength, he Is on the way to recovery, and despite his advanred age. will probably be able to resume his duties within a short time. On Friday one of the large freight locomotives of the Chicago Eastern Illinois road hauled a train of sixty-five loaded cars 13.4.7) tons from Danville to Chicago. This beats the record of one of the havv new freight locomotives of the Iake Shore road on what is supposed to be a more level track. The report of the Nrw York Central & Hudson River and its leased lines for the quarter ended March 31 shows gross earnings, increase, $201,545; operating expenses, increase. $..23u; net earnings increase. Jll5.214; other Income, increase. JS01.927; surplus, after paying charges and dividends. $31,64 1, compared with a deficit of $245,323 last year. The Order of Railway Conductors has purchased Lookout Inn. on Lookout mountain, subject to the approval of a majority of the members of the order at the next annual convention. The object In purcnasing the hotel Is to establish a university for the education of. the children of railway rondujrors and an asylum for disabled and aged conductors. Capt. George J. Grammer, traffic rrarf ger of the Lake Shore, returned on Monday frcm New York and denied positively that he has any Intention of becoming general r.'tnagcr of the Monon, as was rumored in certain quarters hee on Saturday While the rumor came from a reliable source rnd seemed backed by a good many circumstances which would give it credence, it now appears to have been voiced by those who were cot in touch with Captain Grammer. The rumor started in Chicago. Mason & Hodge, Louisville, Ky., have received the contract for building a tunnel and reducing the number of curves on the Baltimore & Ohio line near Willow Grove. Ky.. at $95,000. The contract for sixteen miles of second track between Cochran and Milan and for grading at Iuka. Ky.. was lt to the Globe Construction Company, of Cincinnati, at $35,000. and the contract for a change of line from Hayden to North Vernon ha been let to Schuh & Gannon, of Cairo, 111., at $14,000. and for Improvement of Otter Creek at $30,000. The work is to be completed in six and nine months and will reduce the grade to twenty-six feet to the mile. Immigrant affairs seem to be the chief stumbling block In the way of the Western lines reaching a satisfactory conclusion of the revision of the Western Passenger Association agreement. The adjourned meeting of passenger men will convene in Chicago to-day, when the rules of the association and of its bureaus will be taken up. While the articles of agreement have not been finally passed upon there Is little doubt that the agreement will be adopted, and but for the Immigrant bureau question the lines would have a comparatively easy task. So long as the Union Pacific and one or two other lines maintain their present stand on immigrant business It will be hard for the roads to reach any definite settlement of the question. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Fftul road will expend more than $2,500,000 this year on new lines and improvements to the property generally. One million dollars will be laid in the reduction of grades in Iowa and Wisconsin. $500,000 on track elevation in Chicago and another $o00.000 on new ballasting along the various lines. The company will In addition carry out the usual season's work in the way or renewing rails and bridges and repairs to buildings and complete its double track between Chicago and Sabula, la. Fifty miles of new line will be built between Fonda. Ia.. and Spencer. Ia., forming an extension of the Des Moines Northern & Western line and connecting it with the Iowa and Dakota division and opening up a fine section of farming country. A Southern corporation is at work on the surveys for a line to extend from Clifton Forge, on the Chesapeake & Ohio, a connecting point with the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio lines. It now appears) certain that Pittsburg Is to have a new trunk line running direct from Lake Erie to the Florida coast and all the principal cities of the South. It Is a remarkable fact that Cleveland. Buffalo and Pittsburg passengers gding to Florida or any point in the Eastern Southern .States must go three hundred miles west before they can start in the right direction. On a direct line from Cleveland to Florida it is not over five hundred miles, but at present It is necessary to travel one thousand miles to reach the Florida coast from the shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, and Southern people desiring to visit Niagara Falls have to travel one thousand miles and pay the extra fare simply because they have no direct connections.

During the meal Mr. Grant sat as silent as a statue, and m!ght have sat there the rest of the day had not one of the editors passed through the room and recognized him. "Yes.

BULLS' DAY DECIDEDLY

S3IART UPTURN IX NEARLY ALL STOCKS WITH A WIDE RANGE. Industrials Fluctuated Wildly, Closing with Fresh Advances Local Markets In Good Form. At New York yesterday money on call was iiSS per cent.; last loan, 5 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, SHU per cent. Sterling exchange was weak, with actual business in bankers bills at $4.87& for demand and at $4.S54.S51J for sixty days; posted rates, $1.834.81, and $4.SS34.SSH; commercial billj, $4.854.85. Silver certlflcites, 62Q62Uc; bar silver, 61gc; Mexican dollars, 48c. At London bar silver closed quiet at 2S'4d an ounce. Total sales of stock amounted to 652.2S0 shares, including; American Steel and Wire, 27.600; American Sugar, 45,100; Atchison, 4,00); Atchison preferred, 17,300; Baltimore & Ohio, 5.G00; Brooklyn Rapid Transit, 10100; Burlington, 3),200; Chicago Consolidated Traction, 8,100; Chicago Great Western, 3,&00; Colorado Fuel and Iron, 4.200; Consolidated Gas, 1S.S0O; Continental Tobacco, 40.20; Denver & Rio Grande preferred, 4.9); Federal Steel, 34,500; Federal Steel preferred, 6.70); Manhattan, 31,000; Metropolitan Street-railway. 40.000; Missouri Pacific, 39,300; National Steel. 7,900; New York Central. 6,500; North American, 3.800; Northern Pacific, 8.8CO: Ontario & Western, 6.200; Pacific Mall, 5,500; Pennsylvania, 10,300; Reading first preferred, 10,500; Rock Island, 5,400; St. Paul, 1S.W0; Southern Pacific 33,400; Southern Railway preferred, 6.60O; Tenneseee Coal and Iron, 50.9U); Union Pacific. &.- 60o; Union Pacific preferred, 8,5u0; United fitates Leather preferred, 3,700; Western Union, 3.SW0; 8ilver Bullion, 45.000. New York stock prices ranged over a wide radius and ended with good gains for the day. A considerable advance, ranging from 1 to 4 points In the specialties, occurred in the first half hour, aided by purchases of round amounts of the international stocks for London account. Stock values then suffered on a continuance of Monday's heavy liquidation and receded sharply, the specialties losing from 2 to nearly 6 points. By noon liquidation had practically ceased and there were rallies which among the specialties ranged frcm 34 to W. The standard railways moved far less except for Burlington and Delaware & Hudson, uhlch made net gains of li and Zi, respectively. Among the specialties the net gains extend to 14i in Air Brake, 6?i in Metropolitan, 3 in Manhattan. 3B In Brooklyn Transit and an everage of 2 points in Federal Steel, Sugar, National Steel and Tennessee Coal and Iron. Call money rates ruled at about 5 per cent, most of the day and their steadiness was a source of confidence, as was the easier tone In sterling exchange, which was attributed to London's purchasing of stocks. -Another reason which might be assigned for the rally was the fact that the Ford franchise bill would not figure in the tax levy for this year and the hope of those interested in the securities affected that the delay of a year might bring about a modification of its provisions. The sharp speculative contest between the bulls and bears in Brooklyn Transit, which ultimately resulted In favor of the former, was, because of its great .activity, a sentimental Influence in favor of taking the long side In other properties. The dissemination of a story that the Sugar insiders were indisposed to come to terms with present rivals because of the fear that other syndicates stood ready to start up a new opposition was supposed to have something to do with the dip in Sugar, but the readiness of a large house to absorb offerings brought about a rally In which the earlier loss was more than recovered. Besides the tax franchise bill, the gas rate war induced liquidation In Consolidated Gas. but covering of shorts and other purchases caused the stock to rise above Monday night's figures. The rapid fluctuations, with alternate pronounced weakness and strength, caused a reduction In the outside interest and left the market much of the day In the hands of the professionals. Late in the afternoon, when the market broadened out and a general movement was under way, activity of commission houses was again noted. The market left off strong at generally the best prices. Some recessions occurred In the bond market in sympathy with the early liquidation In stocks, but there were later partial recoveries. The total sales, $2,525,000. United States threes, coupon, and the new fours, coupon, declined in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W.
