FTwo "Western Bureaus Fas Out of Ex istence Jane Earnings the La r fire at in History of the Roads, Tha Central Freight Association lines have agreed to start a crusade to break all unauthorized tariff. They all stand for lower rates; for those who get the benefit there ts good and sufficient reason for them, aJthough there may be competitive points that are clamoring tor like rates. The rates are duly filed and are Id accordance with the provisions of the interstate-commerce regulation, but they are hardly the thing -when an effort 13 being made to make the keynote of freight transportation "no discrimination." The various freight committees throughout the territory of the Central Freight Association will attempt to Investigate these matters, and eventually the big ehlpper will find that he must pay the same rates as a small one. regardless of competition at his shipping point. This matter lias beon taken up by the Central Freight .Association. It will be an uphill task and ;"will take time, but the freight traffic men ,are confident of seeing It a success. It Is r. commercial boom which affords an opportunity for the railroads to legitimately in- . crease their revenue and reap some benefit of the prosperity. During the demoralization of rates last season every line put in a tariff that was duly published but. not authorized by the traffic association. The movement now Is to abolish this tariff, which Is a discrimination to a certain extent, and which is Interfering with the proper revenue. rasstnig Ont of Existence. ' On July 1 the Western Trunk Lines Committee and Southwestern Freight Bureau will pass out of existence. The executive officers of the Western lines last week reached the conclusion that, as the extended term of the four commissioners vvouid expire on July 1. it would be well to "wind up the affairs of the committee at that time. An office, or bureau of information, however, will be kept up and it will be a medium for the publication of joint tariffs or rate sheets. This bureau will be incharce of Commissioner II. II. Courtright. The status of the Emigrant Traffic Xtureau Is likewise to be determined before the Western Passenger Association la Tlaced upon Its feet again. The executive officers ,of the Southwestern lines decided to abolish the conference committee on and after Sept. 1 and the attitude of the Southern Pacific now looks to the immediate dissolution of the bureau. A meeting of the traffic managers will be held In St. Louis on the second Tuesday in July, when the executive officers will be assembled in that city 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 tor a bureau of information, In charpc of a aecretary. and it will be known as the Southwestern freight committee. It U also proposed to keep up the Southweju-rn .Weighing and Inspection Bureau. v Gratifying Reports of Carnlngi. The earning reports for June show larger Increases over the corresponding period last year than any month this year. Almost without exception the roads, not only In this section, but North and South. East and Wwt, have reported Increased earnings over last year and also over 1S37. According to Dun's Review the total gross earnings of the roads for June are 10 per cent, over 1S97 and 11.3 per cent, over 1592. some of the leading atystems. the grangers, the Central Western, and Pacific roads showing the largest gains. The Southern roads report very much larger earnings than in lsy2. while ome Southwestern roads report small losses. Seventy roads vhlch have reported to the third week In June show an Increase of 12.83 per cent, over the corresponding period In June. ISO. With uch surpluses flowing In and conservative dividend rayments. a great improvement in the condition of properties may be expected Id the future. Meeting of Presidents. A meeting of the presidents of the railroads In the Trunk-line Association was held in New York yesterday. Among those present were A. J. Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania Company; S. R. Callaway, of the TSew York Central; G. B. Murray, of the Baltimore & Ohio; M. E. Iiigalls, of the Bfcr Four, and pome of the executive officers of the road?. J. V. CJodird. commissioner of the association, pn-ilded. No deflr.IIe action was taken in regard to the easthound freight rate situation. The whole tut;Jsct was referred to a committee of rep

resentatives of Western roads leading out of Chicago, which will meet at an early date In Chicago. No action was taken on the alleged cut in the grain rates. Commission Increased. Railroad ticket agents in the entire territory west of Chicago will have their incomes materially Increased after July 1. At a meeting of the general rassenger agents of forty-four roads In Chicago yesterday It was unanimously agreed that on and after the above date and until further notice agents should receive liberal commissions for selling tickets over foreign or connecting lines. The commi.sions will run from 2T cents to U per ticket, the average being about 51. Between two thousand and three thousand agents will be benefited by the action of the pa?.ecnger managers. Under the new agreement all roads will pay the fcame commissions. The lowest commission that will be paid will be 25 cents, on tickets from the Missouri river to common points averaging two hundred miles west of there. The highest will be 54, on tickets reading from St. Louis, Cairo, Memphis and New Orleans to Pacific coast points. Personal, Local and General Notes. W. E.

C Eckle, foreman of the Panhandle shops, has resigned to take a position in the pattern department of the Panama Railroad Company. The fight against scalpers, which has been renewed in Western passenger circles, bids fair to be more of a success than any former attempt in this direction. Thu new passenger coaches Just built by tho Wagner Palace-car Company for the New York Central, to be run as the Empire express, will carry comfortably eighty-flve passengers. The colored Methodist churches will hold a picnic at Bethany Park to-day and have chartered from the Indianapolis & Vlncennes twenty-five coaches. The train will be run In two sections. T. J.

The Erie road by circular announces that ice will be furnished on perishable shipments of the third class and higher when In refrigerator car3 and quantities of ten thousand pounds or over per car. This month the Union Pacific has received from the Brooks locomotive works eight twelve-wheel locomotives of the largest type, and forty-two more of the same type are to be delivered within the next sixty days. The Southern Railway Company announces the appointment of J. II. , Barrett as general superintendent, J. A. Dodson as superintendent of transportation and D. W.

Unless there is a change in the , programme, President Ingalls, of the Big Four, Vice President McCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines, and other high officials Interested in the Union Railway Company will meet here on Saturday. Passenger officials of the transcontinental lines credit Indianapolis with having sold more tickets to the national education convention, to be held at Los Angeles, than any other point in this territory, not excepting Cincinnati. A meeting of the New York Central and the Boston & Albany Railroad representatives will be held at the Grand Central Depot in New York to-morrow to consider the question of leasing the Boston & Albany road to the Central. Ex-Commissioner Mldgley, of the exWostern Freight Association, has returned to active railroad matters and has written an article entitled, "A New Departure In Railroad Management." urging a radical change in the present rate-making policy. The Gulf. Colorado & S.inta Fe Is making preparations for running some of the fastest and best equipped trains that have ever been run in Texas. The company has spent of late large sums of money in straightening curves, new grading and ballasting with rock. II. G. Stiles, general agent of the Cincinnati.

He states that to-day, at several points, the elevators will begin to carry the new wheat. The passenger department of the Big Four, in advertising Its Fourth of July service at one fare for the round trip for a distance of 200 miles, names places where celebrations are to be held.

The stockholders of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad met yesterday and authorized an Increase of the preferred stork from 340.000,000 to JW.OOO.OQO and the common stock from $23.Ou0.0OJ to $43,OOO.CDO for the purpose of carrying out the plan of reorganization of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railway. Sensational papers are saying a good deal about a passenger rate war between the strong and weak Eastern lines. In speaking of this yesterday a passenger official said the day of settling rate questions by the ridiculous process of revenue wasting is past: more modern, more enlightened methods are available. On most of the through fast express trains on the Pennsylvania and Vandalia lines between Pittsburg and St. Louis wide vestibule Vandalia combination cars are now being used. The Vandalia has been building some fine coach equipment for Its through trains, and It adds much to the appearance of tho Panhandle trains. In a paper presented to the Master Mechanics Association at Its annua! convention last wrek It was stated that there are In the United States at the present time, in round numbers. ZHjOO locomotives, 33.000 passenger equipment cars and 1.230,000 freight cars, worth probably JOOO.OOO.OOO. and that there Is spent annually In keeping this rolling stock in repair about JG0.O00.000. There is a possibility of the Ohio Southern having more litigation to face. Bondholders in the East have filed a petition tc have the recent sale of the road to New York parties set aside. It is charged by the petitioners that the purchasers bought oft prospective bidders before the sale, and there was no competitive bidding. The road old at exactly the upset price fixed by the court. Walter Bridges, of Chattanooga, has brought suit against the Southern Railway Company to test its right to refuse to receive baggage for transportation from any except a regular transfer company witn which the road has a contract. The railway officials say they cannot afford to accept baggage from any carrier except the owner or one authorized and under bond. The question Is a new one. It is stated that the appointment of E. T. Postlethwalte. assistant to the president of the Pennsylvania, to the superlntendency of the mall service on thr.t great system, presages the extension and improvement of that source of revenue to railroads. Within the past few months there have been changes in the trains over the Pennsylvania system which have made the service much better and have made it a good second to the Vanderbllt Hues in handling transcontinental mall. Representative of the Southern and the Louisville & Nashville Railroads held a conference In Birmingham. Ala., yesterday and the property of the Birmingham Southern was formally transferred to the other two roads. The piice paid was ll.100.OK). The securities were deposited in New York several days ago.

An effort was made yesterday to repeat the demonstration of strength in the New Y'ork siock market which was given by the outburst of -.ctivlty and strength which carried pricef. to the highest in the closing dealings Tuesday, but with only partial succes. (Manhattan was rushed up to a final quotation of !19, which was 1 above Tuesday night's rrice, as New York Central wa3 rushed up late Tuesday. The sympathetic effect on the general list was far below that of the New York Central movement. Decidedly the most significant feature of the day's trading was the cessation of the upward movement in New York Central and affiliattd stocks. There was an active opening in the tock. caused by the accumulation of commission-house orders, which was attracted by the recent strong upward movement of the stock. It was advanced early in the day almost a point. The demand was evidently satisfied for the time being and the movement lacked snap. Tl price was allowed to lag. There were rlous factors of strength in the day's developments, which prevented a break In the price of railroads, but there was obvious profit-taking at some points and the day's advances are small, except in a few cases. The rally at the close did not bring prices back to the top level. The most potent influence in favor of the bulls was the favorable disposition manifested toward American securities in the London market. This was in face of a tendency to dullness and depression in the general market there. The takings for London account in this market were estimated at 35.000 shares, or upward, of various stocks. The demand wras mobt eager for Louisville &. Nashville, which rose nearly 2 points on the London market. Various rumors were in circulation of an anproachlng increased dividend rate to account for the rise. Southern Railway preferred was strong In sympathy. The effect of the London buying was shown in a drop in the actual rate for demand sterling to $l.S7i, thus precluding the likelihood of further gold exports at the present time. The local money market also remained steady, in spite of the activity of the speculation in the stock market. Statements of railroad earnings, which were received during the day, continued the extraordinary favorable showing. The cash demand for wheat and the buying for export were sustaining factors in the granger group, even though the decline In the heavy Northwest receipts was reported to have set in. In view of these continued strong features in the situation an effort was made to shift the speculative activity In the lower grade of railroad stocks, when it was seen that New Y'ork Central had become quiescent and profits were being taken elsewhere. Southern and Western railroad stocks were the favorites. Finally the industrial stocks, which had been entirely neglected, were taken In hand for a rise, under the encouragement of .he strength manifested in Sugar and American Tobacco. They proved rather heavy to lift and dropped off in' the last hour. Continental Tobacco and Federal Steel being especially weak. The firmness at the close was on short covering, induced by the final spurt in Manhattan. Railroad bonds were moderately active and strong. Total sales, par value, J2, 745, 000. United States threes, coupon, declined In the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11.

BETTER WHEAT DEMAND

SIGNS OF STRENGTH AGAIN NOT1CEADLE IN CHICAGO 3IARKET. Some Evidence that Heary Receipts In the Northwest Will Fall OS Provisions Ttronger. CHICAGO. June r?. Domestic crop damage reports brought the dominant factor in the wheat market to-day, but trade was small and the market closed at an advance of only He. Corn declined ttftUc under heavy receipts, oats advanced c on bullish foreign advices and provisions advanced Z? "Hc, with tho advance in hogs. Conditions at the opening In wheat favored higher prices. Liverpool showed a liberal response to yesterday's advance here, opening HHHd higher and maintaining most of its advance. Continental markets were also higher. A decided bull factor was the falling off in Northwest receipts, Minneapolis and Duluth reporting arrivals of 431 cars, compared with 713 last week r.nd S2 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 152 cars, 21 of contract grade. This was in line with the predictions made by the Northwest yesterday, and influenced the market enough to keep prices on the upgrade for about halt an hour after the opening. Then the weakness at St. Louis, which was thought to be due to expectations of large receipts of new wheat in the near future, and favorable weekly crop reports, started a moderate selling movement which carried prices considerably below the opening point, and gave the old familiar appearance of weakness to things in general. September opened at 74H ic, compared with yesterday's closing price of 74&C. It advanced to 74v5 744c, then gradually slid oft until 1ic had been reached. At tltis point the market took another turn, and until within about a half hour of the close, though extremely quiet, was strong. St. Louis weakness was said to b2 due entirely to local elevator difficulties, and not to fear of heavy new wheat receipts. The chief element of strength came from the part of the country which has been responsible for most of the weakness of late, the West and Northwest. Crop advices from all sections of the spring wheat country told of damage from rust and from wet weather, followed by the heat of last Sunday. The Illinois state report estimated 51 per cent, of the crop lost, and the condition of the rest only 33 per cent. The natural inclination of the market to rally was enhanced by these reports. Covering by shorts and investment buying continued until September had advanced to 744'&75c, when a realizing movement set in which continued to the close and which cut away a good part of the advance. Aggregate primary receipts were 972.000 bu, against S2.000 bu a year ago. Atlantic port exports were DG8.000 bu. The seaboard reported 30 loads taken for export to-day. September closed steady at 744c. Corn 'was dull and heavy. The market started steady with wheat, but the liberal receipts, 810 cars, favorable crop conditions and heavy estmlated receipts to-morrow started an amount of liquidation that the market could not stand up under. Clearances were light and the cash demand poor. September ranged from 344S4gC to 34-c, and closed lower at 34c. Oats were exceptionally dull but firm. Crop bulletins reported damage from drought in Eastern States and too much moisture In the West. Foreign advices were also bullish. There was some July demand from shorts. Receipts were 24S cars. September ranged from 214c to n22c, and closed c higher at aiS21c Provisions, though dull, were strong. Hog prices were higher, and this, with the strength of wheat and the good shipping demand, kept prices firm and a little higher. Trading consisted mostly of changing from July to September.
