SAYLES, 135 Last Market Street. L. E. & W. IMPROVEMENTS TUB COMPANY'S TRACKS WILL BE PUT IX FIRST-CLASS CONDITION. Tbe Baltimore & Ohio Receivership Drawing to a. Clowe Three Michigan Roads to Consolidate. There Is excellent authority for the ftatetnent that the Lake Erie & Western lines will be put In first-class condition. The Brice syrvtlcate. former owners of the property, were easer to continue the Lake Erie & Western as a dividend-paying road, and unquestionably tied the hands of General Manager Bradbury in the matter of expenditures, while the new owners are allowing him to expend any sum of money he thinks required to place the road bed and equipment in condition to compare favorably with other roads crossing Ohio and Indiana, Some have thought that in the past Mr. Bradbury has been too much of an economist for the good of the road, but this state of affairs was largely due to the position the owners of the road had taken. It is now proposed to properly ballast the road, lay a large mileage of new rail and putln'many thousand new ties. For years the main line of this road suffered from high waters; now the waterways are ample and no trouble has been experienced for two years In that direction. Not only will the Lake Erie & Western main line be improved, but the Indianapolis and Michigan City division will also be brought up to a good condition. North of Peru there are now rails which were laid during the time that David Macy was president of the Indianapolis. Peru & Chicago, now the L. E. & W. property, and through, improvements to be made at Michigan City the last named division will be made a more profitable line. As a passenger line there are but few pieces of road that pay better returns on expense of operating than does the Lake Krie St Western between Indianapolis and Michigan City. Change on Two Road. There will be a general reorganization of the passenger department of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton beginning June 1, the first steps of which were announced yesterday. The Detroit and Toledo departments will be combined, with G. II. Gillam, of Detroit, in ciiarge. J. C. Winans, department passenger agent of that division, will be reassigned. The entire department will be reorganized according to statements given out at Toledo yesterday. A long list of changes in personnel of the Mobile & Ohio was announced yesterday by President Russell.

With the signing of the petition by Judges Goff and Mcris the Baltimore & Ohio is in position to issue its new securities and it Is anticipated that with the beginning of Its fiscal year. July L the road will be taken out of the hands of the receiver and Receivers Cowen and Murray will at once as iumt their respective positions as president and vice president of the reorganized company. The reorganization has been effected without resorting to foreclosure proceedings, and the reorganized company will continue to enjoy the privileges conferred by the old charter, chief among which Is a large exemption from taxes. The road Is navr practieallv owned by New York and Chicago capitalists. Personal, Local and General Notes. The Peoria & Eastern now buitls all the cabs for its locomotives of steel boiler plate.

Chief Engineer Quinn says the next piece of Important work the Baltimore & Ohio will undertake will be to double track the road from BeUalre to Cambridge. P"ads of the Central Freight Association av abolished the rule of giving the uame

On the Chicago division of the Panhandle, on Tuesday, twenty-ftve firemen were laid off for an indefinite period, fifteen engineers were put back to firing and six regular firemen weie placed on the extra list, on account of the falling off in business on this division.

It Is stated officially that in 1SD3 there was not a passenger train run on the Big Four that did not average over l per mile run In passenger fares, most of them doing much better. The Southwestern limited and Knickerbocker express trains pay the bestover 52 per mile run. The late Roswell P. Flower owned the controlling interest in the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. There is some speculation as to the future of the road, as his death may open the way for the sale of these securities to parties who have, for some years, been trying to get hold of the road. It is reported In Wall street. New York, yesterday, on what was said to be trustv orthy authority, that a contract has been siened by the Chicago & Alton and the Chicago Terminal Transfer Company by which the Chicago & Alton obtains the use of the latter s terminals in Chicago.

President Fink, of the Norfolk & Western, says the story that this company was to purchase the Cincinnati.

J. E. Price, general superintendent, and Lv B. Archibald, superintendent of parlor car. sleeping and dining service, all officials of the Intercolonial Railroad of Canada, a line 1.600 miles long, owned by the Canadian government, are traveling in a special car and making an inspection tour of the railroads of the United States. Never in the history of railroad shops have they been as Bteadily employed and giving employment to as many men In spring and summer months as at present. Passenger and freight departments are working to their greatest capacity In re-, pair work and equipping cars with airbrakes and automatic couplers. The Pittsburg Pressed Steel Car Company will commence at once additions to the recently acquired Fox pressed steel plant at Jollet. It will be enlarged to four times its present capacity at an expenditure of $500.00i) and will give employment to 2.000 men.

"The Idle Lays of a Fanner Boy," and will dedicate the volume to the wives of the farmers of Kansas.

Invaluable barnyard fowl. The first stanza reads a a follows: "The man behind the gun has had his day; Been mustered out and spent his ray; The man behind the plow is on his legs; But the hero is the hen upon the egs.''

Yesterday ended on the Stock Exchange with bears apparently unopposed and in complete possession of the market. They made a fierce attack on prices along the whele line in the final hour, after evidence of realizing at various points In the list had become quite palpable. The largest volume of profit-taking sales came on the market after quite an extended list of . railroad stocks had been taken In hand and pushed up to a decidedly higher level. This movement in the railroads continued after the leading specialties had begun to go down and gave a suggestion of a shifting of speculation by taking out profits from the specialties and putting them Into railroads. But the railroad list succumbed to the late attack, many stocks losing between one and two points and Burlington dropping 2V4 below the high point cf the day. Practically all the earlier gains in the railroads were wiped cut. though email net advances remained in a very few cases. Prices were marked up at the opening to accommodate the outlde public, who were coming in to buy after yesterday's notable advances. The demand from that source was soon satisfied and prices yielded and the market fell into dullness at the decline. Losses were sharpest, of course. In those stocks which have been rushed up during the last few days. Railroads showed a pretty good resistance and Manhattan was notably strong, touching 114. Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie, which had not moved In a long time, became briskly active, the common stock rising lO'fc and the preferred 7. As the day progressed a large demand sprang up for Atchison preferred, the grangers. Union and Northern Pacific and other standard railroad stocks. Very heavy blocks of Atchison preferred were taken on the rise and the prices In a number of cases advanced over a point. Anaconda Mining also enjoyed a gain of 3?4 points. It was under cover of this movement in the railways that the realizing of profits In the specialties was in progress. Nearly all the Flower specialties, together with Sugar and Tobacco, began to sag under the weight of the sales. In the attack which the bears were thus encouraged to make on the market Sugar and Metropolitan Street-railway dropped over seven points, Brooklyn Transit 44 and a number of other specialties two points or over. There was a momentary rally, but prices plunged downward again and the closing was very weak and unsettled. Sugar alone rallying over a point on the taking of profits, but the prices generally ended at the lowest of the day. There was nothing in the general news of the day which seemed to Influence the trading of the day unless It might be a further hardening In the rate of exchange, which continues to rise and is near the gold Import point, in spite of the continued ease of money and the apparent abundance of funds both here and la the interior. There was no diminution In the heavy demand for the new bond issues of some of the railroads, notably the Central Pacific reorganization issues. Prices of railroad bonds held notably firm. Total sales, $S,020,oco. United States threes advanced H in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W.

Fine Weather, Good Trade and Detter Collections the Features. Conditions could hardly be more favorable to trade than those wh'.ch prevailed yesterday. Ths weather was fine, orders for goods were large and a number of buyers were in, and what is a pleasing feature of business just now is the promptness with which ell bills are paid. Retail merchants all over the country who draw their supplies from Indlanapollj seem to be in better shape financially than at any time In years. The outlook for a good wheat crop is helping matters somewhat. Then last year's crops are selling at good prices, which is an important matter. In prices yesterday there was not a change calling for special comment. On Commission row, on account of large receipts, fruits and vegetables were selling somewhat lower, but this is expected. The local grain market Is still rather quiet, with light receipts. An improvement In receipts is looked for within the next ten days.
