The Southern Ha II tray Will 5ot Purchase the L, E. A St. L. RoadGeneral and Personal Notes. The war with Spain- brought Increased fcuslness to the "railroads, not. only In the transportation of troops, but In freight. The Southern roads and Western lines have been the most benefited, having the largest business and the longest hauls. In May, 18D8, the first order was Issued for troops for service at Manila and during the last twelve months fifteen thousand volunteers were aent to San Francisco to wait for transports. When tha Western regulars returned from Cuba to the home posts they were ordered to the Philippines, and this furnished additional traffic. Of about 30.000 troops now In service In the Philippines,. fully 2000 were handled by the Western lines, largely via Omaha. The carrying of troops for Cdba did not bring: 'so much money to the railroads, as the distances were not more than one-third as great. The freight business Increased from the lame cause, although, of course, the bulk of It was made up of government supplies for the soldiers. It would be quite difficult to give any accurate Idea of this traffic by the records of tte railroad offices, as It has been carried by tralnload and by single car Iota and has been handled as freight and express. It has been made up of ammunition, guns, wagons, military stores, provisions, clothing and hospital supplies, and there have also been hundreds of horses find mules shipped, together with the freight -belonging to the various regiments of regu lars, who carried all their belongings withthem. In the line of commercial supplies the Increase of business has not been as noteworthy; still, when peace is finally reetored railroad officials express the opinion that freight traffic between this country and Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines will largely increase. Two years ago there were three lines of steamships plying between the United States and Asia: now there are eeven. each having its f reign t-carrylng capacity fully tested. Another railroad official eays the prestige the country has secured will result in Improved business not only with the islands named but in all Oriental countries. A Dlr Week Earnlngt. The Big Four proper in the last week of April made the largest earnings In any week in the history of the road J377.C30tS2, an increase of J50.SW.17 over the corresponding week of 1X& The earnings for April mere not as favorable, the falling off in the first three weeks making the earnings P,1G2,803.., decrease as compared with April, DCS. of $1,961.69. It Is not a very long time since President Ingalls said that when the Big Four proper earned $1,000,000 a month he would be pretty well satisfied. Personal, Loral and General Xotea. The Erie has ordered five new buffet cars built, to be run on is trains between Chicago and New Tork. W. I. Breckinridge has been appointed Chief engineer of the Chicago, Burlington d Qulncy, vice E. J. Blake. For the first time in many years the roads frill this season put on sale tourist tickets from Western to New England points. George W. Klttredge, chief Engineer of the Big Four, has gone to New England for a few days stay with his wife, who is visiting friend there. W. C. Shoemaker, traveling1 passenger agfnt of the Baltimore & Ohio line, has resigned to accept a similar position with the Ceaboard Alr-llne. The Toledo Belt Railroad, which Is practically owned by the Wheeling & Lake Erie, will be double-tracked to accccmmodute its increase in business. J. P. Kearney, who left the Great Northern to take a position on the Baltimore & Ohio, has been appointed assistant superintendent of transportation. P. B. Wittmer. formerly assistant roadxcaster of the West Shore, has been appointed roadmaster of the New York Ceniial between Buffalo and Syracuse. J. M. Daly, who on May l left the Illinois Central to take a position as trainmaster on the Delaware, Lackawanna c Western, will receive 16.000 a year in' his new position. Employes along the line of the tanta Fe tiding on passes have been notified that when the cars are crowded they mutt stand tip and permit passenger.! to octupy the eats. W. II. Northrop, traveling passenger gent 0? the New York Central, has been promoted to be general agent of the passenger department, with headquarters at Williams port. The report that F. I. Pomeroy. general manager of the New York Central fast freight lines, is to be given a more Important position on the Vanderbilt lines is officially denied. It Is stated that the Big Four, according to Its mileage, has the fewest high-salaried general officers of uny road in the country, and the Erie has the largest number, according to its mileage. The passenger officials of the local lines all report an increase in receipts from sales cf tickets at Indianapolis In April over April. 19$: especially was there a large increase In ealof mileage books. The officials of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad have discontinued the local treasurershlp held by Downer Adams at Toledo. It is said the policy of retrenchment will result In other official changes. The through car of the Vandalla between Decatur and Indianapolis has now been on a year and is quite popular with the traveling public, carrying from fifteen to twentyfive passengers each way daily. George Haylor, district passenger agent ef the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton and the Motion lines, accompanied by his wife, will go to SandU9ky. O.. to spend Sunday with his mother, who resides in that city. Contracts have been lt for an Interlocking plant at Crestline, the crossing of the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago and the I3!g Four, and at Shelby, the crossing of the Baltimore & Ohio main line and the Bij? Four. The appointment of W. C. Hayes as locortotlve superintendent of the Baltimore & Ohio will be followed by a change in the rlaa or overseeing locomotives in service, positions of supervisors of engines and

trains have been abolished and traveling engineers substituted, who will report to the new official at Mount Clare, Baltimore. The Vandalla will change time on Monday, May 14, and on that date Trains 3 and It. which now run only between Indianapolis and Casey, III., will resume running between Indianapolis and Effllngham, thlr ty-two miles further. Instead of taking off the through car Service to Detroit from Columbus over the Toledo & Ohio Central and Lake Shore the service is to be extended to Point aux Barques, over the Grand Trunk and the Flint & Tere Marquette. The Baltimore & Ohio is negotiating for control of the Columbus, Lima & Milwaukee road. It is now nearly completed from Continental to Lima. O., and the grading is completed and the ties distributed for the extension to Defiance, O. The Southern Railroad Company has rejected the option given some time ago by the holders of the bonds of the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis Railway. The reason assigned is that the aggregate price is higher than the company feels justified in paying. It is said that the deal which Is pending regarding the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City has real foundation, and that the next twelve months will see thin road put In a condition which will make It a much more effective competitor of the Wabash than at any time since operated. Commencing with Sunday the Knickerbocker express over the Big Four will haul a through sleeping car between St. Louis and Boston, the car returning on the Southwestern limited, making the fastest time in both directions made by any read between St. Louis and Boston. To-morrow another sleeping car will be put on by the Big Four between St. Louis and New York oa Its night train out of St. Louis. The revised agreement of the Western Passenger Association, adopted on Wednesday, differs In many material points from the draft agreement submitted at the recent meeting. The most Important clause of the new agreement which has been eliminated is that providing that each road shall deposit to the credit of the chairman a sum of at least S00 as security for paying the fine and penalty for any breach of agreement. The St. Louis. Iron Mountain & Southern has been managed by the Missouri Pacific since the acquisition cf the former road by Jay Gould, some years ago. The recent exchange of the bonds of the Texas & Pacific for Iron Mountain bonds indicates a closer connection between those companies, and it Is rumored that the Iron Mountain will soon be taken from under the management of the Missouri Pacific and operated under that of the Texas & Pacific. The option which the Lima Northern hao on the Michigan division of ths Cincinnati Northern has. expired and will not be renewed. The Cincinnati Northern wanted more for the road than the Lima Northern would pay. The Lima Northern desired. a transmichigan outlet, and it was proposed to extend this branch and build a ferry. When the estimates were submitted to the New York people they decided that the price was too high, and the matter is abandoned for the present. The Union Railroad Company has put in at Delaware street a substantial crossing for carriages and heavy drays. A four-inch plank, resting on broken stone foundation. Is made even more permanent by the placing of an old steel rail against the plank in such a manner as to protect the crossing against battering, leaving the usual width between the rail proper and the plank-pro-tectlng rail, it being of ample width not to interfere with the movement of trains. It Is a new idea, and thought by civil engineers to be of great advantage. The Pennsylvania Company employes Christian Association at Pittsburg has, since Jan. L Increased from 230 to 358 members. While all employes of the Pennsylvania Company are at liberty to use the reading room free of charge, $1 per annum is charged for a membership ticket, which entitles the holder to the use of the baths, circulating library, gymnasium and telephone. Over one hundred papers and magazines are constantly on file in the reading room. Within the last twelve months 200 volumes were added to the library. E. E. Betts. superintendent of car service of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway at Chicago, accompanied by his chief clerk, Frank Marsh, will visit the Big Four car service department to-morrow with a view of adopting the Cavanagh patent foreign car record case, which does away with took records and automatically locates foreign cars by divisions and terminals. Mr. G. II. Waldo, superintendent of car service of the .C, H. & D. at Cincinnati, examined the case yesterday, and the probabilities are that company will give the new system a trial. . - Western passenger men yesterday wrestled with the rules of the Immigrant bureau. If they can reach some agreement upon these the hardest part of their work will have been done, and they will be in good shape to take up the whole question of the revised agreement of the Western Passenger Association. The lines have now passed upon the rules of all the other bureaus of the association, and they will be printed and submitted for final approval. Another general meeting of the Interested roads will be held In a few days, when the revised agreement and all the revised rules will be discussed with a view to securing the final adoption.

DULL TRADE IN STOCKS

The New Yerk stock market was of a highly professional order yesterday, and although support appeared from time to time In particular stocks, the tone was weak practically throughout the day. The grangers, coalers and a number of specialties, particularly Brooklyn Transit, People's Gas, Sugar, American Steel and Wire, Continental Tobacco and Anaconda, were especially weak. The feverlshness of prices, accompanied by bear pressure, induced considerable liquidation. London was a purchaser of moderate amounts, but not enough to sustain the international stocks. While the bank statement can never be forecasted with any accuracy, it is known that the banks on out-of-town express movement and subtreasury operations sustained a loss in cash of about $X),0u. This, together with the understanding that tomorrow's statement would not rellect the So.000,000 debit on account of the Spanish Indemnity payment, led traders to assume that the showing will not be altogether favorable because of the financing of Industrials and the subscriptions to the Amalgamated Copper Company. The understanding, however, that the subtreasury will cash 310.000,000 Indemnity warrants next week was regarded as likely to make a large addition to the loanable funds, which will be reflected In subsequent bank statements. Domestic news was scant, but the possibility of British complications over Transvaal affairs received tome notice. There was some liquidation of marginal holdings by speculators discouraged at the seeming lack of Inside support in certain properties and the confident operations of the bears. The market closed weak at about the lowest. A fairly good tone was maintained throughout the day in bonds, which moved Independently of the stock trading, although few prominent issues were under pressure. Total sales, $2,655,000. United States threes, the new fours, coupon, old fours, registered, and the fives, registered, advanced B in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis. Room 11.

I07S LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE. Fine Weather and Easy Money Mar ket Iloomlng Trade.' On the wholesale streets and on Commission row yesterday trade was very active and if this fine weather continues and the crop outlook continues to improve Indianapolis merchants will experience the largest May business In their history. With the improvement in the crop outlook and the easy tone to the money market conditions are certainly very favorable to the expectations cf the most sanguine. In prices yesterday there were no changes f importance, but firm prices were the prominent feature. The local grain market is moderately active and receipts are not what they should be to meet even the local demand.

Corn declined c and oats W(PMc. Pork closed, a shade higher, lard a shade lower and ribs unchanged. Perfect weather and liberal Argentine shipments for the week Induced liquidation and short selling in the wheat pit at the opening to-day, and the market continued to sag under Its load until the close.

Favorable seeding weather and fears of a tie-up In the lake traffic weakened corn. Short selling was heavy. Cash demand poor. Receipts, 132 cars. July opened a shade lower, at 34VbC, declined to 3ac and closed with buyers at 3i33c. . Oats declined, owing to heavy receipts and selling by elevator concerns. Receipts, 2SG cars.
