Receiv er Receiver Felton, off the C, S. fc II., Refuses to Step Oat. Tile annual report of the Pennsylvania Comnany stows that the average rate re ceived per ton per mile on all lines was 6 mills, as against 6.1 mills for 1W. .With no reduction In the cost of movement the result was a profit of but 1.6 mills per ton per mile, against 2 mills for the preceding year. The entire cumber of passengers carried was 16,370,011, an Increase of 837SG. The rates on passenger traffic were also re duced, but owing to economies effected in the cost of movement the results show a 6light profit as compared with a less during the receding year. Two hundred and seventy-three miles of track were ballasted iwith travel. 112 with cinder and eighty-three with st6ne. while twenty-nine mile3 of eidings were constructed on the Northwest vstem. and twenty-four miles on the soutnwest system. New steel to the amount of 43,743 tons was laid and 1.7S9.44J lies. There was an average increase of the train tonnage on the Northwest system of over twentv-thrw and one-half ton. The Penn sylvania Company purchased within the year, when they became do $2,600,000 or second mortgage 7 per cent, b nds or tne bt. luls. Vandalia & Terre Haute, and these ere held In the company treasury. There were various other important- financial transactions. The outlay on capital ac count within the year was connnu rcuuuy to the expense of elevating the tracks ol the Fort Wayne ai cmcago. A Splendid Property. United States Investor. Under the management of Receivers Cowan and Murray, with the advice and as sistance of Mr. Bacon and other New York men of large inlluence and experience, a vlgorouj policy ha been pursued, and the property has been brought up from a state of wretched inefficiency to one of excel lency. The Baltimore & Ohio Company has never before in its existence had such a representative and influential board of director as at nresent. The eentlemen compo.nlrr the new board are not only thoroughly Versed in railroad attairs and finance, but are in position to command business for the road. Further, they are largely mieresiea in the securities of the company, and may le expected to get the best result. possible ut of the property. The reorganization of the DroDerty has been accomplished with a minimum of loss to security holders heretoiore uiiknown in such cases. Not only have ail the bonds and stocks of the mala line been well cared for. but those or the divisional and leased roads have been liberally provided for and settlements very advantageous to holders have been accomplished. The Baltimore & Ohio Is a splen did property, and In the hands of a contervative ana progressive management i expect to hear greai things of it m the future. Hates on Iron to lie Advanced. Leonard's Railway News of New York says to-day: "All the rail lines between New York and Chicago comprising what was formerly known as the Joint Traffic Association have decided to advance rates on pig Iron, billets, etc.. effective July 1 r.ext. This decision Is the result of the re cent advances in the prices of Iron and neel. and enables the lines to place the rate upon this commodity on a, basis in effect iirior to the dtiTession In the iron industry during the past few years.

L has been in service on the road since the company was organized, beginning as a teamsUT. The Wabash will build a new -passensrer station at Qulncy, III., nearer the center of the city. The Chicago. .Burlington & Qulncy HI mxt week move Into its new passenger station at Qulpcy. In the month of May the Indiana Caraenice Association handled 2.213 cars, with an average detention of but l.i3 days, against J..1iW cars In May. W. with an average de-

ttntion of 1.83 days. Clifford Abbot Robertson, formerly a con ductor on the B. & O. S. W.. died at his home In Mitchell. Ind.. Wednesday. He was a Mason and Knight of Phythlas and belonged to the O. R C Judge Fit Id. general solicitor of the Mo non. who whs Injured in the accident on the InuianatoIls & Vlncetmea on Tuesday, is confined to the house by his injuries, but hopes to be about in a short time. The naKJenger department of the Wabash lines has- established a summer tourist department of general Information. General Passenger Agent Crane is making special efforts to supply accurate information in thL direction: It Is definitely settled that the Wabash will build the sixteen-mile link needed between Qulncy. 111., and East Hannibal this season. When completed the Wabash will have eleven milea the shortest line from Qulncy to. Kansas City. The Financial Chronicle computes the gross earnings of 115 roads for the month of May at IrS.SWl, an Increase over the corresponding period of 1&8 of f3,0G9,323. The same roads show an increase from Jan. 1 to May 31 of 110,851,874. A friend of the C. H. & D. expressed symrathy with President Woodford over the rumor that 153 miles of the C, H. & D. f as to be paralleled by an electric road. Mr. Woodford smiled and remarked "the road was not yet built." The Santa Fe Railroad Company has let a comprehensive contract for electrical equipment of its shops at Fort Madi.on. Ia. This is the first Instance in wnicn a railroad repair shop has introduced electricity on so large a scale. Efforts to wine out the weighing and In spection bureaus and consolidate the work with other departments have proved failures. The inspection and weighing bureaus are the most profitable to the road of any organization that has been formed in late years. Since the election of Mr. Cafsat as presi dent of the Pennsylvania lines several large blocks of Panhandle stock nave cnangen hands, and it Is said the buying Is being carried on by Mr. Carley. who some months ago identified hlmse'.f with Panhandle stocks. The receivers of the Baltimore & Ohio and other officials who have been inspecting the lines for several days past included the Pittsburg & western lines in tneir trip. It seems definitely settled that the Pittsburg & Western will remain a part of the Baltimore & Ohio system. Col. William Shaw, district passenger agent of the Chicago. Burlington & Qulncy. was in the city yesterday looking atter iis Angeles business to the National Educa tional Association, which will meet at that place next month. He says Inquiry for sleeping car space indicates more people are going than had been expected. Charles Merrill. Western passenger agent of the New York Central, was in the city yesterday. He states that the best evi dences ot prosperity he sees are In the increase of travel, not only regular business, but excursion and tourist travel. He thinks the travel to pleasure resorts this season will be 60 per cent, greater than last year. Samuel Felton. who was appointed re ceiver of the Columbus, Sandusky & Hock ing" road several months ago by Judge Taft. of the United States District Covrt, declines to turn the property over to 11. Monserrat. who was a few days ago appointed receiver by a Judge of the state court, and the situation Is becoming quite interesting. The car department of the Vandalia Is turning out at the shops in Terre Haute some highly creditable work in remodeling several coaches and converting tnem into full vestlbuled coaches, to be run on the trains between St. Louis and New York. Supeiintendent of Motive Power Ash, in their rebuilding, has introduced some new and valuable improvements. A. S. Ingalls and S. W. Hayes, of the Big Four, and J. W. Hunter, of the O. TL & I., met at Winchester yesterday to discuss several improvements which the two roads have under contemplation at that place, among them being an Interlocking switch and a union freight depot. The Big Four will likely erect a new passenger depot one square east of the present one. The remains of Cyrus Dickson, an official of the Great Northern, who died at Spokane on Sunday, will arrive In the city this after neon. aeeomDanled by several renresenta tives of the Oreat Northern line. Tney wm be taken at once to Crown Hill Cemetery for burial. Local railroad men, friends of the deceased, will see that suitable services be held at tha grave and appropriate floral emblems furnished. The fast mall train over the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has now been on be tween Chicaago and Denver three months and but twice has arrived at destination late, and then only a few minutes. En gineers claim that, if necessary, tne run between the two cities can be made tnree hours quicker than the present schedule, which requires a speed of seventy miles an hour much of the distance. The protest of the merchants of Chicago, St. Louis and New York before the lines of the Central Passenger Association against the abolition of low excursion rates for their meetings has resulted in an agreement of the railroads to continue excursion rates for all meetings to be held during the present year, but with the distinct understanding that after lK no low rates are to be granted for any merchants gath erlng. The ticket scalpers at Buffalo, N. Y., who had anticipated a harvest on account of the Shriners' meeting at mat city, nave been battled. The tickets on whteh the Shriners traveled have the ironclad signa ture and descriptive character, making it impossible for any one to sell or transfer the ticket without detection. If the railway men find that the ticket has been sold they refuse to stamp tne return portion, which makes it valueless. The Chicago. Burlington & Qulncy has set aside $,000,000 for improvements. This is exclusive of the cost of building lines ia western Nebraska and Wyoming. The most Important improvement is completing Its double track between Chicago and Omaha. With the exception of a stretch of fifteen miles this company now has double track 232 miles out of Chicago. All of its Illinois track is double, and 155 miles in Iowa will be double track within ninety days. Yesterday the Interstate-commerce Coramission began taking testimony at St. Louis relative to shipping rates, domestic and foreign. The most important feature of the session was the statement of A. Lrew, general freight agent of the M., K. & T. Railroad, to the effect that negotiations are now in progress for the establishment of an immense line of steamers, to run between Galveston and all foreign ports. James) Haggeman. solicitor of the same road, con tended that under the present arrangements the company s export business was not con ducted at a profit. For the annual convention of the W. C. T. IT., to be held at Seattle Oct. 17 to 26, the Western lines have agreed to make a rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip. The same rate will also be appnea to roruana and Tacoma, Tickets will be sold Oct. 14. in and ifi. with a final return limit to Nov. iti. stnnovers either going or coming will be allowed at points west of the Missouri river and St. Paul. Similar rates from the West have been made for the annual convention of the Young People's Christian Union nf the United Presbyterian Church of North America, to be held at Pittsburg Aug. 2 to 7. An Important ruling has been made In the Cass Circuit Court affecting railway companies. During the strike of 18. Ullerich und Smith, two Wabash engineers, were dis charged, and they later brought suit for xr,.ooi damages. The complainants alleged that the schedule of wages posted In the stations and other places on the property of the company amounted to a contract, and that the company violated said contract when the two men were discharged. Judge Chase, of Logansport. before whom the case came on Tuesday, held that the schedule of prices did not amount to a contract, ana the plaintiffs' attorneys took the only course left open to tnem, to nie an amended com plaint. At rt meeting of the executive officers of the Southwestern lines, held in St. Louis, it was determined to take steps for the dissolution of- the Southwestern bureau. Previous to the meeting the executive board had decided to abolish the conference committee on and after Sept. 1, and the attitude of the Southern Pacific. In sending a notice of withdrawal and demanding the return of Its deposit, now leads to the dissolution of the bureau. A meeting or tne trainc managers was called for the second Tuesday in July. when the executive officers will be assembled in St. Ixuis for the monthly conference on the general rate situation with one or more members of the Interstate-commerce Commission. The traffic men will then adopt a plan for a bureau of Information, in charge of a secretary, and it will be known as the Southwestern Freight Committee, rlmllar in Its aims and purposes to the Trans missourl Freight Committee. It U alfo proposed to keep up the Southwestern weighing and in spection bureau. While acting a peacemaker between John Moore and Chris Craft at Rockhouse, Letcher county. Kentucky, William Maggard was shot ded by Craft, who fled to the mountains with an Infuriated posse- In pursuit. If caught bs wLU bs lynched,

The public continued to holl aloof from the atork market jeterdajr and dealings were almost wholly professional. There was the temblanoe of strength at one time, due to sympathy with the activity In a small gToup of Bpclaltle. which wera bought by large interests more or less idntlfld with them. Trices of the group were advanced and the traders bought the general lift, causing small advances all around. But the rise failed absolutely to Invite any outride buying and the Hupportlng tactics were abandoned during the course of the day. The listless condition that ensued was such as to Invite bear aggression. But the bear party apparently suffered from the seasonable lassitude as much as the general rublie and the operations were not pursued with any rigor or determination. However, the gains at one time established were practically all wiped out hefore the close and net losses are the rule, most of them being restricted to fractions. Sugar ruled above Wednesday's level, rising at one time nearly four points, but closing with a net gain of only IS The Federal Steel stocks. Brooklyn Transit. People's Gas, Manhattan and Consolidated Gas also enjoyed ifceir period of strength. There was an early break in the Den ver & Rio Grande Ftocks and Colorado Fuel weakened late in the day on account of the labor troubles over the new eight-hour law In Colorado. American Smelting stiffened two points on a few isolated transactions, the officials of the company professing to feel no uneasiness over the strike and alleging that It came at a good time. Amer ican far showed losses of three and two points, respectively, for the common and preferred utock and, Pittsburg. Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis moved in an erratic manner three points over Wednesday's prices. The belief that the outward movement in gold Is not yet concluded added to the disinclination to buy stocks. The preliminary trade statement of the Treasury Department for May discloses that the total exjorts for the fiscal year for the first time fell below those of last year at the end of May to the extent cf something over $3,000,000. ttut the exports in June of last year showed a heavy decrease from those of May, so that the June exports of this year, which are running much nearer to last year's level, mar bring the total exports for the fiscal year up to last years' unprecedented figures. The continued high level of Imports compared with those of last year will cause a marked diminution in the country's favorable trade balance for the fiscal year. But It is now evident that the trade bal anca will be between twenty and thirty millions over the half-billlon-dollar mark, which is far above the record of any previous year, except 1S98. Wall street Is still unable to decide whether this enormous credit balance has been all liquidated by the buying of our own securities from the foreign holders and the mystery sur rounding the gold movement has added to the p'izzie. Railroad bonds continue to show sympathy wltn tne neavy tendency in stocks, many declines be lng shown on tho day's business. Total sales, par value. $2,679,679.

HEAVY WHEAT DEMAND

SEVERE CHOP DAMAGE STOIUKS FROM RTSMA DEIXG VERIFIED. September Ilerame Active and Scored a Gnln of 1 7-Se, Closlnsr at Top Prices Other Markets Higher. CHICAGO. Jun 11 An advance of lTc was scored In wheat to-day. Russian crop damage was the main feature of the advance, drivlrg shorts to cover ar.d caufing the broadest market in several days. Corn advanced 4e. oats 41 Sic and provisions 24je. The first half hour of the session in the wheat fit was marked by a good deal of apathy on the part of trader, notwithstanding the almost sensational character of the news aftectmjf the Rutslan crop. The opening in September ranged from 764c to 774c. compared with yesterday's closing price of 764c There was no great buying demand at first and for nearly half an hour the price hung around those figure. Then the market began to broaden, and, once started, the buy ing Increased until the demand was the heaviest seen in the pit for several days. Xews regardIrjr the condition of the Rutlan crop, for some time more or lea of a factor, dominated everything else in influence. Becrbohm's statement that the wheat crop was an entire failure In a Large area north of the Black sea was confirmed from many different sources during, the day, pri vate cablegrams being in some cases even more gloomy in character. The first bulge carried Sep tember to 77c. This was call price and selling against those privileges caused a slight reaction, but before noon offerings from this source were twamped by the rush of buying orders and the price continued to advance until September had reached 784c. This was 14e above yesterday's final figure and proved tempting enough to bring large quantities of wheat on the market, which crved to check the advance. Complaints of too much rain in the Fouthwest were numerous. Northwest receipts were 417 cars, against 927 last week and 117 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 146 cars. The seaboard reported about twenty loads taken for export. Atlantic port clearances amounted to 206,000 bushels. New Tork rejrted bids for barley to All Russian contracts. The cash demand here was rather slow. September fluctuated between 784c and 754c during the last half hours' trading and was bringing 7?4 at the close. There was a Arm, active market in corn. Trading was influenced partly by the strength of wheat. There was a good cash demand here and selling against country acceptances was light. News of the destruction of the barley crop In six provinces in Russia helped the advance. Receipts were 600 cars. September ranged from 344c to 354c and closed 4 4c higher at 35c. Oats were in active demand and a good advance was scored. The cash trade was large, one Arm reporting 720.000 bushels sold for export In the last two weeks. Receipts were 199 cars. Shipping houses were. large buyers. September ranged from 214c to 22c and closed '3c higher at im2l4c Provisions were only moderately active. The market opened firm and slightly higher with the strong hog market. Selling by packers caused a slight reaction, but later the strength of grain helped provisions and prices again advanced, the market closing at about the top.
