Fisfc & Robinson BANKERS Investment Securities HARVEY EDWARD FISS CSORGE H. ROBINSON. Member New York Stock Exchange, CONTROL OF THE L E.&W RUMOR THAT THE PBXXSYLVAXIA COMPANY OWNS THIS ROAD. A. J. Cassatt Succeed Frank Thomson as President of the Pennsylvania General Notes. The Cleveland, Akron & Columbus is now the property of the Pennsylvania. The transfer took place Monday, the details being withheld. A belief prevails that the Pennsylvania Company is also virtually in control of the Lake Erie & Western, although this cannot be confirmed. That it would be .a valuable acquisition to the Pennsylvania is quite apparent. It would give the Pennsylvania its own line between loulsville, Indianapolis and Chicago, and admit the company to considerable new ter ritory which it does not now reach. 3 be Pennsylvania will begin operating the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus on July 1. The road 13 275 miles long, owns thirty-seven locomotives, 2,913 freight cars and forty-seven passenger cars; it fills an important link In the Pennsylvania lines, providing an excellent line between Cleveland. Cincinnati and Indianapolis, running through Columbus. The Cleveland. Akron & Columbus proper extends from Columbus to Hudson, Cleveland being reached by the old management ever the CI rv eland & Pittsburg. For several years past there has ben a close operating agreement between the Pennsylvania and the Brice road; its passenger service, extended through to Cleveland over the Cleveland & Pittsburg from Hudson, and Its freight business for Cleveland was carried over the latter road from Hudson. The Cleveland. Akron & Columbus reached Zanesvllle in its through service over the Cincinnati & Muskingin Valley, which was acquired by the Pennsylvania lines in 1SSS. Cassatt Succeeds Thomson. At a special meeting of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad, held in Philadelphia yesterday, A. J. Cassatt, of that city, was elected president to succeed the late Frank Thomson. James McCrca, of) Pittsburg, first vice president of the company, was chosen a member of the board of directors to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Cassatt's election to the presidency. Mr. Cassatfs election caused a lurprise in railroad 'and flnanciaf circles, as it had been generally anticipated that First Vice President Green or one of the other vice presidents would secure the honor. The board of directors, however, was unanimously cf the opinion that the emergency caused by the sudden death of Mr. Thomson could best be met by Mr. Cassatt, and that gentleman, after some hesitation, concluded to accept the responsibility. The election to a directorship of James McCrea. who has charge of the lines west of Pittsburg, brings to the board a strong railroad man to take the place of Mr. Cassatt In that body. Mr. Cassatt, like Mr. Thomson, has been connected with the company since his boynood, and has a thorough knowledge of the road and its resources and business. In 18x2 He resigned as first vico president of the company, but was subsequently induced to become a director, and since then he has taken a most active interest in the affairs tV c"mPan. J occupying, in fact, the position of managing director. So that, in MeWh2H,11? f fa Mfc Cassatt Is no stranger tedlitle.that he wl called on to perform in his new position. Mr. Casmtt Is perhaps the best known railroad man in the country, and he will undoubtedly bo a leader in trunk-line councils. He is sixty TUSLl and c?mmnced his railroad fer. -J1.11 as rodman or. the Philadelphia division of the Pennsylvania lines. He f.VPu !?5 Ln thd, construction department until when he was appointed superintendent of motive power of the Pennsylvania. In lsl ho was promoted to general superintendent of the road, and in 18T4 was rr.ade general manager of the Pennsylvania llres east of Erie and Pittsburg; later held the position of vice president of the Northern Central, then the Pennsylvania road. Of late years he has given lea attention to railroad matters, but is considered an unusually able official. A prominent railread official says that "at no time in the fcii-tory of the Pennsylvania road has its future been of more interest than at present. It la well known, that in the past Pennsylvania stock and securities have been largely held in Philadelphia. There have been frequent rumors during the past year cr two that New York was endeavoring to gain control of the property, but this movement has not succeeded. The feature that appealed to Wall street most forcibly wa this: Here was a road that, in it opinion, was skinning Its stockholders: the managers of the property were held to be guilty of the heinous crime of earning more than It was worth, which is against Wall street's policy, consequently the death of President Thomson creates a new interest in the future of the road. No one has claimed that he mismanaged the prcperty; on the contrary, ho was instrumental in making it ths best railroad system in the country ns fat as physical perfection is concerned, and its firanclal condition is evident by a profit and loss surplus of S22,413,9tS on Dec 31, last. Thosa opposed to the policy which has been pursued in the pa-t. which was to pay rot over 5 per cent, dividends and to put all surplus earnings back in the property, covering them up as far ns possible no as to show a little more than the dividend earned, now hope that through the change of the presidency dividend will be increased. As the stockholders own the prop, erty and the money was unquestionably arent for the improvement of the same Hhy the diversion is not prorer and for the Interest of the owners of the pronertY is cot altogether clear." Personal, Local and General Note. It was a big day at tho stock yards yesterday. Western lines bringing in lG carloads of live stock. It. P. Caldwell, who goes to the Delaware. T-acjcawanna & Western as general traffic manager, began his railro?id career In the auditor oKiee of the Vandalla at Terr Haute. H-was with the Vandalla from aSTj to 1&1. , Train H, on tve- Rig Four. ye3terdav had tnlrty-revea throusa passengers from Cin

cinnati to Chicago, and the train carried in the trip between the two points 335 local passengers. Receivers Cowen and Murray, of the Baltimore & Ohio, and other oiflcials of the lines are in Chicago. Charles E. Owen, formerly with the Vandalla, is now proprietor of the Iron Springs Hotel, at Manitou, Col. The gross earnings of the New York Central for May were $4,006,124, an increase over May, liiS, of $$3,260. A special train on the Erie Railway on Tuesday covered the ninety miles from Meadviile, Pa., to Kent, O., in ICS minutes. James T. Clark has been elected second vico president of the Chicago. St. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha. The office is a new one. John Butte, at one time an engineer on this end of the Panhandle, is now road foreman of cng ns on ttw Wheeling & Lake Erlo. Charles H. Warren has been elected first vice president of the Central road of New Jersey. He will have charge ot;trafflc and operating departments. J. J. Turner, gener?' manager of the Vandalla lines, returned irom Philadelphia. yesterday, stopping in this city to confer with V. T. Malott, receiver. If. Dixon, an ex-policeman of Logansport, has accepted a position as conductor on the Peoria & Eastern to run between Indianapolis and Springfield, O. Frank Hayes, an old-time passenger conouctcr on the Wabash lines, now residing in Terrall. Utah, is spending a few days with friends in this State. The Pennsylvania road asked for bids for Ji double hopper bottom coal cars. 80.0i pounds capacity, and 5j0 coke cars for service on the lines west of Pittsburg. The commissioner of Illinois have ordered an interlocking plant erected at the crossing of the Vandalla and Ohio river division of the Indiana, Decatur & Western at Casey. The Nickel-plate has of late made great improvements in Its train service, putting on additional local trains, which the people are patronizing in a manner showing their appreciation. James Brown, of New Castle, Pa., a wellknown engineer on tho Pittsburg & Lake Erie, 19 a noted pigeon fancier, and his birds recently flew from Madison, lnd., to New Castle, Pa,, in seven hours. Members of the Western passenger associations have provisionally agreed on a revised draft of a general agreement. It Is still subject to the votes of the absent lines, and an adjournment until June 13 was taken yesterday to allow these votes to be secured. In the month of May the sales of interchangeable mileage in the Central Passenger Association territory through the bureau were 14.317 tickets, the largest recorded in any month since the tickets were placed

on snie. The redemption payments aggregated $131,732. The line of the projected Toledo & Detroit shore-line crosses the tracks of the Lake Shore and the Michigan Central no less than eighteen times, and this extraordinary plan is to be taken under consideration by the state crossing board of Michigan, which has made an Inspection of the situation. It Js understood that, with the completion of the 2.0CO cars the Pullman Company is now delivering to the Big Four at the rate of thirty a day. President Ingalls will cease purchasing cars and will buy no more passenger engines this year, but will probably have built twelve big freight engines of the type of No. 703. Th employes in offices, shops, etc., on the Big Four at Indianapolis will, the last week of the month, give one day to a picnic, Terre Haute having been selected as the point at which to hold it. The Railroad Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association will furnish refreshments, including soft drinks and cigars. The Big Four in the first eleven months of its fiscal year ending with May 31 earned 113,3.591, against J13.110.S7S In the corresponding eleven months ending with May 31, 1838. and against J11.900.4S3 in the eleven months ending May 21, 1897. In 1S37 President Ingalls said if he could get the Big Four to earning $1,000,000 a month he would be satisfied. Now it Is doing much better than that. The monthly meeting of the Central Passenger Association will be held In Chicago on Wednesday. One of the important subjects to be acted on is the adoption of a continuous form of ticket on east-bound business, limiting the ticket to a particular train to prevent manipulation by brokers at Pittsburg and Buffalo, which it 13 possible for them to do under the form of ticket now in use. The Western Car Company, which until sbout a year ago had all its repair work done at the Indianapolis car and foundry works, in this city, has taken up the four miles of track on-which it stored cars awaiting repairs and will have no more work done here. Tho track taken up paralleled the Peoria & Eastern tracks frcji the east end of Massachusetts avenue, extending nearly to Brightwood. Complaint Is made of the sleeping car accommodations furnished the Knickerbockerexpress over the Big Four. The business would justify the running nightly of a sleeping car between Indianapolis and New York. People come to Indianapolis off the Peoria & Eastern to take thls'train, and often can get no sleeping car accommodation, and rpace is wanted nightly at Anderson. Muncie and points on the Bee-line division as far east as Bellefontaine. The condition of Andy Walker, the veteran Vandalla engineer. Is so serious that fears are felt for his recovery. Mr. Walker Is sixty-eight years old and has been an engineer on the Vandalla since April 5, 1870. Previous to that he was for many years engineer on the old Indianapolis & Madison road between Indianapolis and Madison. Mr. Walker is at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John M. Cllft, at Thirteenth and Sycamore streets. His wife has been dead for some years. Terre Haute Gazette. The Southern Railway has for a number of years operated a first-class vestlbuled train between New York and New Orleans, via Washington and Atlanta, known as the Washington & Southwestern Limited. The equipment of this train consists of Pullman cars, drawing room cars and dining cars, but the Southern has still further Improved the' service by placing on this train the latest style Pullman library and observation cars. These cars are Pullman's latest build, and altogether the train is now one of the most delightful operated in the United States. The Menominee & St. Taul Railway Company has been organized, with a capital stock of $2,000,000. It will build a road from Menominee. Mich., to St. Paul, a distance of 3ft) miles. The incorporators are Ex-Congressman Samuel M. Stephenson and others, of Menominee: Wellington R. Burt, of Saginaw, president of the Ann Arbor Railroad, and Henry V. Ashley, of Toledo. The officers are: President. S. M Stephenson: secretary and treasurer. Joseph Fleshelm; general manager, H. W. Ashley; general counsel. N. L. Smith, of Toledo.

Late yesterday afternoon occurred one of the slaughters of the Innocents around the Sugar post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange which have come to be looked for as periodical incidents in the history of the exchange. For weeks there have been direful predictions that the end of the Sugar company as a dominating factor in the refining industry was at hand, the fight of its life was on its hands, that the suspension of dividends was Imminent to carry on the war, and all sorts of disastrous predictions. Gentlemen surpored to be versed In the inside affairs of the company have either been silent with an expression of plaintive sadness, or have freely admitted their conviction of the truth of the worst that could be said. Many persons, attracted by the prevailing high level of Sugar, considering these conditions, have sold the stock very liberally with the expectation of buying back when the collapse came. A great many of these bought their stock to cover short contracts yesterday at a level nearly 20 points above that at which the direful predictions had carried it. Inside interests became averse to selling and held out tenaciously for the higher price. This exciting and painful incident closed a day of uniform strength throughout the market for securities. The action of the market was very similar to that of Thursday, the early strength centering in the New York Traction stocks and grangers. The bears made an ineffectual attempt to check advance by raiding down Continental Tobacco over 3 points. They turned Sugar backwards 1 points, but without marked effect on the general list. Later there was realizing In the New Y'ork Traction groups, with reactions of about a point. The vigorous strength developed by coalers again turned the market upward. The same thing happened in the last hour, when the professionals took profits In Sugar and the Traction stocks. The recovery began in some of the obscure stocks. Des Moines. Fort Dodge, rising 4V4 : Consolidated Gas, 8 points, and the Wisconsin Central, new issues, 2f2H- People's Gas and Steel and Wire also came late Into the advance, the latter on a published opinion ty a director in favor of a dividend on the common stocks. Then came the rush in Sugar, which made the last prices the highest of the day. The net gain in Sugar is 68; in Brooklyn Transit, 3 points; in Metropolitan Street-railway, 5: Manhattan, 4 points; in the coalers, from li in Delaware & Hudson and New Jersey Central to 4 in Lackawanna; In the grangers, from Pi to 4 per cent., and in many staninrd stocks a point or over. The announcement of further shipments of gold was without the slightest effect on the market as was the continued large selling for London account.' An Improved tone for the copper properties was an incident In the day's market. Anaconda rising 2. The market for railroad bond? was rataer more active and prices tended upwards. There was very large buying of the Reading and Colorado Southern issues. Total sales, par value, $3,135,600. United States fives advanced H. hut the threes declined in the bid price.

The Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will cay of the wool market: The market is very much more active than last week and this activity Is due. not to speculation, but the legitimate demand from manufacturers. Clay worsteds and serges have been advanced from 24 to 5 per cent, this week and the improved condition of the dry goods trade has cent these men Into the market. Medium wools have not advanced, but territory wools of fine medium grade are now selling at 45047c. Clears and purchases have been made in Texas and Idaho at prices equivalent to 50c, landed in Boston. The export movement is stopped, but only because domestic manufacturers have at last waked up to the fact that there is actually a famine in fine wools abroad and that the wools now here cannot possibly be duplicated at anything like their present cost. The sales of the week are: 5.837.000 lbs domestic and 7S1.000 foreign, a total of 5.958.000 lbs. against 4.016,000 last week and 1.274.000 for the same week last year. The sales to date show an increase of 41.189,100 lbs domestic and 12.340.000 foreign over the sales to the same date In 189R.

THE SLUMP IS IN ORDER

LACK OF SUPPORT PERMITS DCARS - TO FORCE WHEAT TO 73 7-SC. 'o Change In the Foreljgn News of Rained Crop In Roumanla Pro- . visions Weaker. CHICAGO, June 9. Fear of a bearish government crop report was again a millstone around the necks of wheat speculators to-day. This and estimates of an enormous winter and spring wheat yield clipped He off July and UHc off September wheat during an exceedingly dull session. Corn and oats were also very dull and declined about Vc each. Provisions closed 24319c lower. For a brief period Immediately following the opening wheat showed some degrees of steadiness. This was due to the Kansas crop report making 25.000.0CO bu the maximum possibllty of that State's yield, and to the continued Russian damage reports. But the steadiness was not of long duration. Opening at 747s75c, July, after a few transactions at those figures, slowly slid off. There were slight reactions at times, caused by covering by shorts, but the tendency In the main was steadily downward, and before the noon hour the price had reached 744c. The Northwest was a free seller on the decline Eesides the natural feeling of bcarishness caused by the government report due to-morrow, the market was much depressed by Snow's crop report, which said that 550,000,000 bu was a conservative estimate of the probable yield of winter and spring wheat this year. These figures were far over the average production for several years past, and made the market susceptible to any selling pressure. Liberal Northwest and local receipts were a factor. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 550 cars, compared with 538 last week and 238 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 86 cars, three of contract quality. Estimates on the visible supply were for an increase of about 1,500,000 bu, compared with a decrease last year of 2,900,000 bu. This also had its effect. Argentine shipments were 1.096,000 bu. against 264,000 bu last year. The seaboard claimed as high as seventy loads taken for export. After noon there was some improvement. Liquidation was checked by a number of complaints from Indian rTerritory, Kansas and Nebraska of too much rain, and the market received substantial support, the first In some time, when private cables were received from a prominent Chicago grain dealer, now in Russia, confirming the worst reports as to the condition of the crops of southern Russia and Roumania. Previous to this time the market had declined to 73c, but during, the last half hour's trading a recovery to 74HT4Hc took place. That was the price at the close. Corn was dull and a little lower throughout Commission houses were moderate sellers and buying was scattered. Complaints of too much rain in the corn belt had a steadjing Influence on prices. Cash demand was rather .poor. Receipts were 561 cars. July ranged from 32Hc to 33Ti34c, and closed Vic lower at 33c. Oats were dull and a shade lower. Crop reports were somewhat bullish, but sympathy with wheat was fhown in the class of selling. There was little cash demand. Receipts were 216 cars. July ranged from 23(23Uc to 23S23Vsc. and closed H'SVic lower at 23&c. .... Provisions weie practically at a standstill during most of the session. There was some commission house selling of pork, and the decline that followed was shared In a degree by other products. Packers also sold moderately. Buying was- scattered. At the close July pork was 10c lower, at I8.0.H.
