W. nCI.NC. PUSHED VIGOROUSLY. Indication that the Vanderbiita Will Control a Line from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coaat. The London Statist, In a recent issue, contains a Ions' article concerning the reorganization and plan of management of the Baltimore & Ohio. Among other things It says: 'There Is little or no danger, even In the event of another period of severe depression, of the company being unable to meet Its liabilities. Further, It has been provided with ample capital resources to meet all Its requirements for many years to come. Lastly, during the period of receivership very large sums of money have teen spent upon the property out of revenue. Of course, whether or not the company will succeed In earning large profits for Its ordinary stockholders, more or less depends upon its ability to obtain remunerative rates. At the present time its average freight rate 13 very low. The decline In rates which occurred In 1S03 was, indeed, so serious that the receivers applied to the Interstate-commerce Commission to protect the company against illegal cutting, which action has resulted In the maintenance of rates during the present year. Still there has been no recovery, and consequently the company will not be able to earn as large profits as it would have done had the severe fall In rites which occurred in the second half of 1S3S not taken place. How keenly the Baltimore & Ohio has to compete for business and how essential it Is that its roadway and rolling stock should fce In the finest condition is evident from a comparison of the average rate It obtains per ton per mile with the rates received by the other trunk lines. In the twelve months to June SO last the company received an average rate of .45 cent, as against the Pennsylvania's rate of .49 cent, the .Tew York Central's .So cent and the Erie's cent. The rate obtained by the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, which In future will form an Integral part of Its system, was .53 cent. To work profitably at these low rates It had in, the twelve months to June W last, increased Its average tralnload upon Its main line to 314 tons. On the Southwestern system, however, the load was only 237 tons. The company now possesses a quantity of fifty-ton steel cars, and It is said to be capable of running trains of great capacity." John J. Cowen, receiver of the Baltimore & Ohio, says the recent thorough Inspection of the property has shown It to be in excellent condition. There has been some adverse criticism over the decreased earnings cf the road, he says, in reference to the large decrease In the net earnings of the lines for the year which will end June S as compared with the previous year, and this i? due to the fact that the receivers, In settling their accounts, have charged against the revenue of the year large sums which would ordinarily be extended over a much longer period, lie says the receivers felt justified in doing this because they wished, as far as possible, to close their accounts before turning the road over to the new company. During the year a large number cf old engines and cars, standing upon the books at a high valuation, were put out of use and charged to operating expenses.. He says the company's prospects were never better than now. Judge Taft, of the United states District Court, has extended to July 6 the date for the payment of the claims against the Baltimore os Ohio Railway Company in order that the reorganization scheme might be effected and the property escape sacrifice. MMBMVMMBIBa A Line from Ocean to Ocean. The rumor that the Vanderbilt3 are to control a direct line from Boston to the Pacific coast by absorbing the Boston & Albany, the New York, New Haven & Hartford, the Chicago & Northwestern and the Union Pacific is still in circulation. An Kastern financial paper says the story has gained credence through the advance in prices of the stock of the roads named, the stock of Boston & Albany going from $239 per share to J2C3. the stock of the New York, New Haven & Hartford from $213.50 to $212, Chicago & Northwestern from Jli&.'jO to $153, the Omaha from $102.50 to J10G and Union Pacific preferred from $174 to $ld.50. 'The report that the New York Central had come to an agreement with the Boston & Albany by which the Central would lease the Boston & Albany for a term of i"j years and guarantee 8 per cent, on the etock." says the New York Tribune, "was not a surprise either In railroad circles or In Wall street. That the lease is practically closed was confirmed from a trustworthy source on Monday. I'rcm one of the most Influential railroad officials of the Vanderbllt system some facts were gleaned about the negotiations to secure control of the Boston & Albany. For more than two years "William K. Vanderbllt and his friends have been working to get control of the Boston Ac Albany, as it Is the Central's natural outlet to Boston for its Western business. About a year ago Dr. W. Seward Webb, president of the Wagner Palace Car Company, started to buy Boston &. Albany stock. As this stock is largely dealt in in Boston he authorized a Boston troker to buy all the stock he could find In the Boston market, and did not stipulate a price, but said to get it. In about ten days his broker sent word that he had secured something over a thousand shares and wanted to know if he should go ahead, as the yrica had gone up about W points on these few sales. Then a stop was put to that. The stock was so closely held that many thought control could never be secured. Despite this persistent work has b-en done, and is said to have ben crowned with success. The general opinion In Wall street, although no official confirmation of the transaction could be obtained. Is In line with the information that the lease fcgj virtually been effected.

J'; 9 u Aj' superintendent of motive pow- ? T. VJ?6 alalia, has returned from Old 1 oint Comfort much improved in health. H. M. Bronson. assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four, was in Cincinnati yesterday to confer with General Passenger Agent Lynn. On July l the Chicago- & Northwestern wi.l place the Indianapolis territory under wLIns pa,sSfnger Agent Irish. A II. Waggoner will be transferred to Chicago. itho, Pennsylvania Company has established through dally service between Pittsburg and Atlantic City. Panhandle train No. 2 connects with this train at Pittsburg. The directors of the Lake Shore, the Canada Southern and the Michigan Central have declared the regular semi-annual dividends of SJ:, l and 2 per cent., respectively. L. Schuster, passenger conductor on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, who has been some weeks on the Pacific coast, has ieturned, leaving his wife there to recuperate her health. William B. Hunter, who for several years has been the railroad reporter of the Chicago Times-Herald has resigned and taken the position of advertising agent of the Lackawanna lines. The superintendent of the dining car service of the Big Four was in the city yesterday. He says the dining cars on these lines have paid better this month than in any month since operated. The Union Railway Company has been notified by the city of the opening of Sheldon street across the Belt road. The damages assessed against the road are $25; benefits, the same sum. The Wabash earned in the third week of June $302,826, an increase over the corresponding week of 1&8 of $51,867. The Chesflpeivke & Ohio earned in the third week $242,Uy, an increase this year of $10,796. A L. Cunningham, formerly train dispatcher on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, who for several years has been with the Postal Telegraph Cable Company, has resumed his position with Uie Pennsylvania lines In the general ofilces. The Wabash, it is stated, with Its Continental limited for Boston and other New England points, is cutting sharply into the business of the New York Central and the Boston &. Albany. The Wabash reaches Bostcn over the West Shore & Pittsburg road. L At a meeting of passenger agents of San Francisco 3esterday it was decided to abolish the custom of paying commissions to hotel runners, brokers, hackmen and others who have heretofore divided the profits of the passenger business with the railroad companies. The new consolidated freight engine of the Big Four continue to make remarkable records in hauling heavy trains, and so satisfactory is its performance that within the next few weeks probably six and possibly twelve new engines of the same type will bo ordered. On Sunday the Southwestern limited, when on . the New York Central, left Rochester twenty-five minutes luto and arrived at Buffalo on time, covering seventy miles in eighty-three minutes. The train consisted of nine cars, most of them Wagner sleeping cars. At a meeting of the Pan-American Railway Company, held in Cleveland, a survey was ordered made of the route from Tampa, Fla., south to a terminus on the Gulf of Mexico. Work will be commenced on the line as soon as profile maps can be submitted to the contractors. H. Moore, general utility man of the Chicago & Southeastern, was In the city yesterday. He says that the management is expending considerable money in Improvements to the roadbed. Yesterday he returned from southern Illinois, where he purchased 20.000 new crossties. Traveling Passenger Agent Hooper, of the Merchants' and Miners' Transportation Company, Whose steamships ply between Newport News, Norfolk. Baltimore, Providence and Boston, is in the city. This company was established in 153 and has never failed to pay regular dividends. The directors of the reorganized Chicago & Alton met yesterday and authorized the calling of stockholders of the road to meet In Chicago Sept. 7 to authorize the issue of bonds to refund outstanding bonds and for improvements. The matter of new executive officers. It is stated, was not discussed. The manner the Southern Indiana Railwav is reaching westward is creating much interest in the western and southwestern part of the State, and it is stated so much enterprise has been shown by tiie promoters of the road that, would they build to points further west than the road is now located, liberal subsidies would readily be voted. Although still operated by the receiver of the Vandalia, the Pennsylvania Company, which purchased the Michigan division of the Vandalia. is planning to bring the road from Terre Haute to South Bend up to the standard of the Pennsylvania lines. Much is now being dona to improve the property in the way of new steel, new ties and ballasting, and the company expects soon to make improvements at South Bend in its terminals which have been needed for years. Competitors of the New York Central and Lake Shore have been made uncomfortable for ten days past by the report that no excess fare would be charged on the New York and Boston special, which is to cover the distance between New York and Chicago in twenty-four hours. It is stated officially that the report was unauthorized, and tnot an additional charge on all trains making better than twenty-seven hours between Chicago and New York will be exacted. The new train wa? put on to meet the competition of the Wabash. The improvements in progress on the Baltimore & Ohio "Southwestern, when completed, will make the condition of its track second to none crossing Indiana or Illinois. A large mileage of new steel rail, weighing eighty pounds to the yard, has been put in and a hundred thousana of new crossties and many bridges. Sidetracks have been lengthened, depots and platforms improved and there has been a general change for the better. The new power the company is receiving will enable it to give competitors competition. It is claimed that when the curves are straightened as planned and grades reduced ten to twelve more cars per train can be hauled over the road with the same cost as the ordinary train of years past. W eekly Crop Iteport. The following is the weekly crop report issued yesterday by the Indiana bureau: "Very favorable weather prevailed for harvesting and growing crops; wind and hailstorms on the 20th did much damage to corn and orchards in localities of the central and northern portions, especially in Grant county. The harvest progressed rapidly; in the southern half of the State most wheat Is in shock and threshing began. In the northern portion wheat and rye harvesting began in only a few localities: the wheat in some fields is very good, both as to quality and quantity: the grains are plump and the beads are well filled: in other fields the yield is poor. Good crops of clover and timothy hay have been housed; there was much white top in the clover fields. Corn grew rapidly and is in good condition: most fields are clean; some have been laid by. Oats are heading and promise well; the straw is short in some fields. Bye and barley yield well. Tobacco is growing nicely, some plants have been injured by insects. Early potatoes promise well; the late potatoes are being planted. All vegetables are in good condition. Apples, pears and plums still promise well, although many apples have dropped off. Berries are abundant. Live stock is In good condition on excellent pasturage." Sheriff White ot Shot. IONDON. Ky., June 2?.There "is not a shadow of truth in the story printed in Louisville to-day that Sheriff Beverly P. White, of Clay county, was shot and killed in Manchester, last evunlng. Everything Is quiet at Manchester.

STOCK DEALS INCREASE SALES OVER. A HALF MILLIOX SHAKES AND FIUCES HIGHER. Another Decidedly Unfavorable Bank Statement Promised This WeekLocal Trade Steady. At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 2Hti3 per cent; last loan, 2i per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 3?;S4 per cent. Sterling exchange was easier, with actual business in bankers' bills at $4.S7?i'g4.SS for demand and at U.'Qi.i for sixty days; posted rates, $1.864.87 and $4.874.83; commercial bills. $4.SC;. Silver certificates, 60f4362c; bar silver, 61Uc; Mexican dollars, 4c The total sales of stocks amounted to 512,905 shares, Including American Steel, 1S,2CO; American Sugar, 30.300; Atchison preferred, 22,500; Brooklyn Transit, 41,200; Burlington, 23,000; Continental Tobacco, 14,100; Federal Steel, 14,000; Louisville & Nashville, 10,100; Manhattan, 28.200; People's Gas. 6.000; Reading first preferred, K.S00; Rock Island, 33,100; St. Paul, 4S.500; Union Pacific. 12,700; Union Pacific preferred, 19.&00; Baltimore & Ohio, 6,20i); Metropolitan, 7,000; Missouri. Kansas & Texas preferred, 6,100; Missouri Pacific, 9,400; New York Central, 35,500; Northwest, 5,000; Pennsylvania, 14.300. The activity in the buying of railroad stocks showed some falling off in the course of yesterday's stcck market, afte an active opening and early buying movement. Demand sprung up again In the last half hour of the trading in full force and carried prices of the railroads to the highest of the day. New York Central was again the center" of Interest in the market, and it was a final f purt of points in that stock that gave the market its strong close. The last sale of Central was at 140V. the highest of the day and 2 above Monday night's close. The late buying of the stock was on a Very largo scale, blocks of a thousand shares and upward showing quite frequently on the tape. Manhattan was also rushed up in the final dealings to HoU on the announcement of the close of contracts looking to the change to electric motive power. The bull leaders were evidently in a concerted effort to make final prices of the day the highest. The separation of the trading in the railroads and industrial stocks was not quite as sharp as Monday. Federal Steel was conspicuous at the opening for an advance of 1V for the dismissal ot the injunction against the payment of the dividend declared on the common stock. Denials from official sources that any labor trouble was impending among tho street-railway employes in Greater New York also gave an upward tendency to Brooklyn Transit and Steel and Wire showed some sympathy with Federal Steel, since the directors of that company had assigned the Injunction against the Federal Steel Company as a reason for not declaring a dividend on their common stocks. Sugar also was disposed to move upward. But the early prices in the steel stocks were the best of the day. and In none of the industrial stocks was last prices the best. The nay's business, as a whole, was, however, larger than for some time past, and was remarkably well distributed throughout the railroad list, reports of earnings from all sections emphasizing the effect of those received Monday. The movement in New York Central separated Itself more from other members of the Vanderbllt group than was the cae Monday, and the assertions of the bull traders that the buying was for account of outsiders was given color by the presence in the street of W. K. Vanderbllt, an event always made much of by the bulls. The increased speculative activity can hardly fall to call for Increased loan accommodations, nnd this is expected to add to the already unfavorable bank return for Saturday, in which gold exports of $7,500,000 already engaged will have to figure. The heavy dividend and interest obligations to be met on July 1 will also make heavy temporary demands on the money market. The possibility .of a squeeze In the circumstances is taken 'into account by some observers. But it was noticeable that yesterday's hardening of money rates in New York resulted in a fall in the rate of sterling exchange, although the rates for money in London were also higher on the demand incident to the SfOck Exchange settlement. London bought ttoc'xs in New Ycrk, which 13 sail to represent bear covering on the settlement and which had its influence in lowering the rate of exchange. But whatever temporary flurry may occur in the New York money market, the July disbursements will undoubtedly bring relief. The?e are estimated at $H5,ooo.ouo at New York, at $20.0O),000 in Boston and at $l4.v0o,00.) in Philadelphia on account of Interest and dividends. There was a larger proportion than usual of the transactions made on three-day contracts. The bond market showed increased activity and strength, in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $2,527,000. Lnilfd States twos advanced i and the threes Va In the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. . Louis, Room 11.

FIRST UPTURN IN WHEAT

AFTER SERIES OP DEAR DAYS I. i WHICH PRICES FELL 5 CEXT. Indications that HeaTy Receipts In JVortutrest Are About Done Dull Sentiment in Provisions, t CHICAGO, June 27. Prospects cf relief from the heavy burden of wheat at Western points and an Increase in the cash demand turned a weak market into a firm one today and resulted in a closing advance in the September option of U'3?hC over yesterday. Corn and oats were very firm, corn closing sc higher and oats He higher. Provisions advanced 2a3c. Tho action of wheat at the opening and for a short afterward was anything but encouraging to the bulls. There was the same story of weak English and continental markets, and the same reports of heavy receipts at primary points that have caused wheat in the past week to break a good 5c The opening trading in September was at 73!i7CHc, compared with yesterday's closing price of 74U74HC The liquidation for a time was heavy, holders of July options being especially prominent in the selling and a further decline to TSc took place. This proved to be the bottom, however, and the stubbornness with which the market resisted any further paring of the price gave the first ray of encouragement to the bulls. Buying against puts stopped the decline, and moderate coverings by shorts resulted in a gradual advance to 73c. Before noon buying was Increased by advices from the Northwest that receipts at the two big receiving points will probably show a Ltaterial falling off next week. The local cash demand showed Improvement, 210,000 bushels being worked. Further improvement in the shipping demand was indicated by the fact that New York was about 7c over Chicagov a shipping difference. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 730 cars, against 720 last week and 65 a year ago. Cnicago receipts were 194 cars, 29 of contract quality. Total primary receipts amounted to 1,001,000 bushels, compared with 147.0UO bushels last year. The seaboard reported thirty loads taken for e-xporL The West and Northwest reported too much rain. The market during the afternoon advanced t0'74&c, but received a temporary setback from Bradstreefs figures on the visible, putting the increase at 1,433.000 bushels. This caused renewed liquidation in a moderate way, but offerings were well absorbed, and the market soon became steady again. September was bringing 74!5c at the close. The market for corn was quiet, but firm, mainly on yesterday's large cash business. The demand to-day was rather slow and receipts were large, 1.2tf cars, but country offerings were small. September ranged from 34Uc to 34c and closed c to 9sc higher, at 3434c. Oats were dull, but steady. There was a good demand from the country and from shorts, and this helped prices. Cash demand was slow. Receipts, S&7 cars. September ranged from 212 to 21ic Provisions were firm, largely on the heavy shipping business, and prices ruled a trifle higher. Possibility of a spread of the stockyards strike was a bull factor to-day, driving some shorts to cover. Trade was dull throughout. At the close September pork was 6c higher, at $8.274: September lard 2H oc higher, at $5.17. and September ,rlbs 2&tf5c higher, at Estimated receipts for Wednesday Wheat. 110 cars: corn. 750 cars; oats, 20 cars; hogs, 22.000 head.
