President Callaway Statement Termination of Baltimore fc Ohio Receivership Corven Xoir President. Directors of the New York Central &, Hudson River Railroad Company- met In "New York yesterday. After the meeting the following statement was given out by President Callaway:' "At a meeting of tho board of directors of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company the leas of the Boston & Albany Railroad Company to the New York Central & Hudson River "Railroad Company for a- period of ninety-nine years was unanimously passed, and Fresldent Callaway has been notified that similar action has been taken "by the Boston & Albany Railroad." Supplementary to the foregolnr an otBclal assertion was also made that the terms of this iV-year lease provided for a guarantee by the New York Central of 8 per cent, annual dividends on the $25,0C9,0K of capital stock of the Boston & Albany This merger Is one of the most important railroad events of recent years. The scheme was planned and carried out by William K. Vanderbilt so quietly that less than a half dozen persons connected with "the New York Central system knew anything about It until it was made public. J. Pierpont ilorgan and H. McK. Twombley were associated with Mr. Vanderbilt In arranging the details of the transaction. Ono of the most interesting features of the meeting was the presence of C. S. Caseatt. president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Vice President S. AI. Prevost. of tho same system. The' relations between the New York Central and the Pennsylvania managements have been very friendly In recent years, and as evidence of their desire to maintain these relations the New YorK Central people invited President Casatt to attend yesterday's meeting and satisfy himself as to the character and purpose of the Boston & Albany merger, buch directors as were present at the meeting were in perfect accord with Mr. Vanderbilt's views. W. K. Vanderbilt, J. Pierpont Morgan and II. McK. Twombley were the Innuential factors in the meeting. The other directors present were President Callaway. E. V. W. Roslter. C. C. Clarke and H. J. Hayden. Assurances were given President Cassait that the New York Central in obtaining control of the Boston isc Albany had no intention of assuming an aggressive attitude toward the Pennsylvania road. He declined, however, to say anything regarding the subject under discussion. The New York Central ofricers wete equally reticent on this point, and in a general way they declared tnat there would be no break in the friendly relations existing between the Vandertllts and the Pennsylvania people, and that there was no expectation that there would be any friction in tnat quarter. President Callaway said thai the 'Boston & Albany lease as approved by the respective boards of tiirectcis. however, would have to go to the stockholders tor tatincation, and meetings of the New York Central and the Boston 4c Albany stockholders arc to be railed without delay. Simultaneously with tne meeting of the New York Central directors in New York the Albany directors came together in Boston, although President Bliss was In attendance at the New York meeting. The directors of the Massachusetts road after a short conference passed the vote recommending the lease with the proviso, however, that an 8 per cent, dividend payable quarterly should be guaranteed by the New York Central road and also that $4.0tfi,nut) In mon?y or property should be reserved by the Boston & Albany road. This sum consists of the trust improvement fund of the road and other funds and property which had been laid by for improvements and other special expenses. If the road is turned over to the New York Central It will not be necessary to apply these funds to the uses for which they were originally designed. This sum of JI.OOO.OOO, invested at the current rates of interest, would mean a return of at least one-half of 1 per cent, additional to the stockholders, so that the proposition, stated broadly, is that tho stockholders of the Boston & Albany will derive net dividends of 8'i per cent, on their lease. Of course this recommendation may b affected by various after considerations. In the first place, it must be accepted by the stockholders, who will vote on the proposition at the annual meeting to be held Sept. 27. Then it must be approved by the Legislature of this State. All these preliminaries being favorable to the consolidation, probably July 1. ijo. will find the lease in operation and new tenants in control. Vice President Hayden denied that the Vanderbilt interests were unfavorable to the development of Boston or that the company had reached the limit of. Its capacity for handling grain. It is assumed from the action of the directors that the lease is assured. They have quietly ascertained the sentiment of some of the heaviest stockholders and have been guided by that. To ascertain the wishes of a majority of the stockholders would be quite a complicated task, however. The holdings have been split up into small parcels and are distributed throughout the State nine-tenths of them are. at any rate. It is said that there are o.OOti people in Massachusetts who have holdings of less than twenty shares each. In many families the stock has come down from two or three generations. It has been a favorite investment for trustees.

End of R. JL O. Receivership. The receivership of the Baltimore & Ohio TUllroad terminated at 12 o'clock last night and the property was turned over to the stockholders without formal ceremony. The new officers are: President; John K. Cowen; first vice president. Oscar G. Murray; second vice president and general manager, Frederick D. Underwood; treasurer, W. II. I jams; secretary, C. V. Woolford; general attorney, Hugh L. Bond. Jr.; board of directors. William Saloman. chairman. New York; Jacob II. Schiff, New York; James J. Hill. St. Paul; Edward It. Bacon. Neurone; Norman 11. Ream. Chlcasro; James fitlllrnan. New York: Edward 11. Harriman. New ork: J. Kennedy Tod. New York; Charles Steele. New York; Alexander Brown. Baltimore: If. Clay Pierce. St. Louis; H. Crawford Black and John V. I Flndlay. Baltimore. Tho executive committee is composed of William Saloman. chairman Jacob H. Schlfr. James J. Hill. Edward Bacon. Norman B. Ream, Edward II. Harriman and Charles Steele. John K. Cowen and Oscar Murray were appointed receivers for tne. company Feb. IKS. by the United SUtes Court for the district of Maryland, The receivers decided that the only wise course to pursue was to practically rebuild and re-equip the railroad. The physical corHtlon was had. Its equipment antiquated an inadequate to handle business, and Us inJuRicicney was turn hm to seriously Injur the revenues. The receivers' plans were discussed bv the security holders, and, as a l.?rge majority agreed to the obtention of eni'"s-h funds to place the road in a condition To handle its - S

traffic, they obtained permission of the court to issue certificates for the purchase, by mevns of equipment trusts and receivers' certificates, of new cars and locomotive;, and to Improve the physical condition of the property. The, reorganization pian. as prepared by Itsi homager?. Speyer Bras. & Co.. of London: Speyer & Co. and Kuhn. Loeb & Co., of Ntw York, and ; ho advisory committee, On Louis Fitzgerald. F. It. Bacon. Henry Budge and W. A. Reed, gives the company the follorv1r.fr new securities: Prior Hen C: 1 er cent, gold bond $70.X),0f"; first mortgage. 4 per cent, gold bonds, $1.000 XiO; 4 per eent. noncumulajL'v preferred stock. $10.rj.oiQ; commoD stork, IC5.CO0.C00. On June IS tho preferred stock was increased to tfX'.Ooo and the cemmon stock to Sl.VrfX'.OOfl for the purpose of carrying out the pLn of reorganization of the Baltimore fc Ohio Southwestern Railway. The plan also provided for tho payment In full of all receivers' indebtedness, the entire floating debt of the company, represented by promissory notes and negotiable obligations and of all car trust obligations, enabling the company to begin the fiscal year of 1SM-1W) with all obligations ',aid. For the reason that itorganJzation was (possible without a foreclosure, the; original charter of the .company remrJns in force, and the next annu-il meeting of the stockholders will be the sevemythird. The new stock of the company Is held by interests which cannot fall to be of great help to the property, much new capital has been Invested in the securities, and there Is a sufficiency of money for still further improvements which are In progress, with a view to still further reducing the cost of transportation. President Cowen has Issued a circular announcing the retention of all the employes of the receivers in service of the company. No official changes of importance are contemplated. Improved Management. A recently published statement of the bus

iness of twelve leading companies for IK'S, as compared .with 1STC. shows that while the passenger earnings fell off 11 per cent, and the freight l.S per cent., the working expenses were reduced 8.2 per cent., so that the net earnings exhibited an Increase of per cent. A decrease in working expenses and an increase in net earnings in spite of a reductkm of gross earnings these arc facts which imply Improved management, and. as a consequence, improved Investments. There are encouraging Indications that the apparent hopelessness of finding a way to regulate railroad competition does not necessarUy carry with it the impairment of working profits. Experience Is demonstrating that the railroads, taken as a whole, may be increasing their dividend paying capacity In the face of the most reckless cutting of rates. Signed by All Roads Except Three. The revised. Western Passenger Association "agreement adopted by the executive officers a week ago becomes effective today. Three of tho roads between Chicago and St. Paul the Chicago Great Western, the Wisconsin Central and the Minneapolis & St. Lvulehavo not yet signal the agreement. It is probable, however, that they may be Induced to become members at a meeting to be held in Chicago July t. The lines that are parties to the agreement comprise all the roans between 'Jhlcago, St. Louis and Colorado common points. The new agreement is much stronger than the old one. It provides for the maintenance of local bureaus in Chicago. St. Louis, Kansas City. Omaha, Council Bluffs. Deg Moines. St. Joseph. Atchison. Leavenworth, St. Paul. Minneapolis, Denver. Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Dealing with the ticket brokers or facilitating ticket-brokerage business in any manner is prohibited. Personal, Loral nnd tieneral Notes. W. H, -MtDosI. -prudent of the .Monon linen, returned yesterday from New York. C. E. Schaff. general manager of the Big Four lines, spent yesterday in the city. There is but littl" doubt remaining as to the consolidation of the Cleveland & Canton and the Wheeling & Lake Erie. On July a personally conducted special ttaln. carrying 110 people, will leave over tho Vandal la for Pacific ccaft points. The gross earnings of the Indiana, Decatur & Western for June will be between $5.0 and $r.500 larger than in June. 1S0S. J. A. Barnard, general manager of the Peoria, & Eastern, who has lecn out on tho line several days, returned last evening. It is stated that R. G. Erwln. vice president of the Plant system, will be elected president, succeeding H. B. Plant, deceased. On Tuesday cars were handled through the Mifflin yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad. This indicates an enormous traffic. Warren E. Moore, of Lafayette, and Purdue University, will to-day take a position with the engineering corps of the Illinois Central. It is stated that the negotiations pending through which the Ohio Southern will control the Columbus. Lima & Milwaukee will be completed before Aug. 1. On Wednesday the construction of a Belt road at Hamilton. O.. was commenced. It will connect with all the roads the principal manufactories of that place. The Wabash, from Andrew to St. Louis, Is now laid with new steel rails weighing eighty pounds to the yard, and next year the Detroit division will be laid with a heavier rail. The new postal car built at Brlghtwood for the Big Four is so satisfactory in its construction that yesterday an order was given to build two more of the same pattern at these shops. District Passenger Agent W. W. Richardson, of the Pennsylvania and Vandalia lines, yesterday moved into his remodeled quarters and now has as fine a set of offices as Indianapolis affords. Nat M. Brig-ham has been made tourist agent of the Santa Fe Pacific, with headquarters at Flagstaff. Ariz. Mr. Brlgham will have charge of passenger traffic to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The Ohio Southern has announced that It will require prepayment of freight charges on shipments of fruit, melons and vegetables to all points on and via its line, and will not accept a guarantee of charges. To-day there will be a reduction In rates on provisions for exports to the basis of 20 cents per 100 pounds. Chicago to New York, making the rate 1$ cents from Indianapolis. This Is a reduction of 2'j cents. J. F. Youse. formerly with the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton at Indianapolis, has been appointed freight agent of the Columbus & Hocking Valley at Columbus. W. P. Porter succeeds Mr. You.se as agent at Wellston. A person well informed stated yesterday that he had the best authority for stating that the Lake Erie & Western i as likely to get control of the Pennsylvania road as in the Big Four to get control of the Lake Erie & Western. The official report of George Haylor, district passenger agent of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton and the Monon, says the receipts from ales of tickets last month over the Monon were fully 40 per cent, in excess of those of June, l&S. It was reported in Wall street yesterday that the reorganization committee of the Columbus. Sandusky & Hocking, of which Louts Fitzgerald Is chairman, has found it inexpedient to carry out the proposed plan of reorganization and that It has been abandoned. It Is stated officially that the train run between Cincinnati and Chicago over the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, the Indiana, Decatur & Western and the Monon, via Roachdale, is on a paying basis, carrying fully 600 passengers per month in each direction. A preliminary statement of the New York Central shows that while its gross earnings for the year ending June 30, 1MO. increased but fcJOO.tM). its operating expenses were cut down, as compared with the previous year, ll.3Tw.000. and the property maintained at its excellent standard. Oregon Short-line time card No. 9 shows twenty-four passenger trains into and out of Salt Lake City on week days. The Rio Grande Western has twenty-two. the Salt I.ake & Oregon sixteen, and the Salt Lake & Ixis Angeles ten. making a total on all roads of eighty trains. A special train of five Pullman cars, four day coaches and a baggage car. carrying some four hundred people to the Saengerfest meeting in Cincinnati, made a remarkably fast run over the Pittsburg & Lake Erie, covering the sixty-eight miles between Pittsburg and Younstown in one hour and forty minutes. Frank Reed, general passenger agent of the Monon lines, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Reed states that In the company's fiscal year, which ended yesterday, the passenger earnings of the .Monon lines will be 7.0 to t7ii.jo larger than in the year ending June -X iv.w. The Monon Is having big business for Cedar Lake Park, last Sunday carrying fully 5,0uu people to that pleasure ground. The annual picnic of the Big Four employes will be held at Crawfordsville. on Wednesday. July 32. About ten thousand peopb: are expected to attend. This Includes the employes of the Big Foar Railway Cumiany and their families and friends. A band of music will be one of the features and a programme has been arranged which Includes bicycle raees. foot races, gmes. music and dancing. The Yo-mg Men's Christian Association will furnish refreshments on the train both going and coming. The train will be ruu over the Peoria & Eastern.

SQUEEZE IN CALL LOANS

SPIRITED KIDDING FORCED JIOXEY RATES TO IS PER CEXT. Heavy Decrease In Bank Reserves Expected in To-Day's Statement Local Trade Quiet. At New York yesterday money on call was strong at ZG12 per cent.; last loan, 'J per cent. Prime mercantile paper, Zifa per cent. Sterling exchange was weak, with actual business In bankers bills at 4.S7V41H.S- for demand and at $I.S5U'4.Kls for sixty days; posted rates, 4.tr i-SOTs and $i.S6; commercial bills, Silver certificates, &Ufi61c; bar silver, 6)'4c; Mexican dollars, 4S,,sC. At London bar silver closed dull at 271i-16d an ounce. The total sales of stocks amounted to 521 shares, including: American Steel, 3,800; American Sugar. 13.900; Atchison, 6.000; Atchison preferred, 20,300; Brooklyn Transit, 16,:'); Burlington. 42,000; Federal Steel, 3,200; Louisville & Nashville, 7,700; Manhattan, 2.3.700; Northern Pacific. IS.0'0; People's Gas. C.C.; Rhode Island, 20.400; St. Paul, 2S.100; Southern Railway preferred, 4.W); Consolidated Tobacco, 3,000; Metropolitan. 3,000; Missouri Pacific. 1,100; New York Central, 25,tt; Pennsylvania. I.); Tennessee" Coal and Iron, 3.200; Union Pacific, 7.300; Union Pacific preferred, 2,300. There was a remarkable demonstration of the underlying strength of standard railroad jtocks on New York 'Change yesterday in spite of the happenings which the, bears have been relying on to put down prices before the triple holiday. The squeeze In the money market proved more severe than for many months, the rate for call loans Sniping" at one time to 12 per cent. Loans made yesterday carry over until next Wednesday and the shifting incident to the heavy demands on the eve of semi-annual disbursement caused a very active bidding for money. There was beside the natural hesitation on the part of most operators to making large commitments on the eve of the holiday and the general tendency to close ur accounts. This kept the market very d'l'l through the early part of the day, and prices were disposed to sag. The opening was indeed a fraction bf low Thursday night for most of the railroads and a liquidating movement in Sugar and the City Traction stocks pulled the railroads back again after they had first started up again. But during the second hour of the trading a very determined and confident demand sprang up for St. Paul and New York Central after the latter stock, which was dealt in ex dividend, had fallen off i below Thursdaynight's level. This demand grew and spread through the most prominent stocks on tho list, including the leading trunk lines, the grangers, the Pacifies and one or two of the Southwesterns. The manner in which this buy ing ignored the flurry in the moneymarket Indicated that it came from sources not dependent on the ordinary resources of the banks. Notwithstanding the strength of the movement in these few stocks the general market continued very much neglected and little changed in price. The total sales for the day were considerably below the average for the week and dealings were almost wholly concentrated In the few stocks which developed so buoyant a tone. In these the strength continued with a very slignt reaction at the close, the level of prices being lifted for them 1 to 2'z points abovo Thursday night's level. Numerous blocks of l.Oiv) shares and upwards of Pennsylvania wee taken on the rise The Industries were almost wholly neglected. Sugar recovered from Its early weakness and closed about a point higher. Leathr preferred and Anaconda and Tennessee Coal were also strong. The Traction stocks were notably weak, Brooklyn Transit being most keenly affected. A feature cf the early market was the number of eash tales of gllt-edgeJ preferred stocks. There was quite a long list of stocks 'telling ex dividend. Including the Vanderbd'.s, Rock ls'Jtnd ard Atchison preferred. The .riost of these more than recovered their llvidend on the day's trading. All opinio.is teem io agree that a very iieavy decrease ip cash will be shown by to-day's bank statement, some estimates running as high as JIO.oooKV). This includes $7,000,000 of the gold shipments, a loss t tho subtreasury on account of the covernment's small expenditure this week and a net loss for the New York banks on the Interior movement of currency. Besides this, tne speculative activity of the week foreshadowed an expansion in loans and a sharp decline in surplus reserve. Thne was con siderable activity In ine bond market and prices as a rule are higher. Total sales, par value. $2,372,000. Government bonds are un changed. The following table, prepared by L W.

The Ruincft of June Highly Satisfac tory Value Sternly. Yesterday rioted the best June trade that IndianaiKjlis merchants have enjoyed for years; probably never before have all classes of mer chants realized as good a business as during last month. Stocks cf retail merchants were low, bills were well pld and there was a healthy movement in all lines. Seldom have prices continued as firm and steady. Tfce only changes of Importance were In dry rods. Iron and steel products. All fctaplt groceries nd provisions ruled steady and

sales were large. More wool was handled last month than In June last year. The leather market was active, hides dull and hay broke In prices. Eggf. foul try and butter all brought better prices than in June. 1S95. On Commission row

fully one-third more- business was done than in June last year. The local grain market was rather quiet. Farm ers are too busy to bring their grain to railway stations. There were but few changes In values.

AFRAID 'OF HOLIDAYS

TRADERS EVEXIXG VP CONTRACTS RATHER TIIAX HOLD OVER. Wit eat Fluctuated -Within Narrow Limits and Closed Slightly Illeher .Provisions Advanced. CHICAGO. June 30. The shadow of the coming holidays was heavy on the wheat market to-day and kept prices wumn narrow range. The close was at a shi improvement over yesterday. Corn cloi HTllic. higher for September but unchangfr for July. Oats closed unchanged for Sep tember but fic lower for July. Pro visions advanced 2WI"c. Wheat started with a degree of steadiness that was somewhat surprising, in view of the half-deserted condition of the pit. Liv erpool followed closely the decline of the local market yesterday, and both local and Northwest receipts were liberal to a degree that under ordinary conditions would have caurcd weakness. But shorts showed a tendency to get out of the market over the coming holidays, and there was buying by that class of traders at Hrst. September cpened a shade over yesterday's closing price, at "VHc. This " rrice changed very little for about half an hour, when substantial support was given the market by Snow's crop report on the condition of spring wheat. This was unfavorable, putting the condition at under 9") per cent, and reporting a good deal of damage from rust and excessive rains, especially in Nebraska. As spring wheat prosperity had been one of the leading- planks in the platform of wheat bears for some time past, news of this kind caused p. noticeable . Increase in th buying demand, and the only time during the session caused the market to assume some degree, of activity. The price quickly responded to the demand. September advancing to 74'c and holding close to that price as long as the buying lasted, which, however, 'was not very long. Before noon the market had taken on the dullness always shown prior to holidays, and from that time until the close trading was narrow and fluctuations small. Considerable weakness developed on the continued heavy primary receipts, the total being placed at 677.000 bushels, compared with 138.000 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 502 cars, against last week and 52 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 123 cars, fourteen of contract grade. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to but 70,000 bushels. The seaboard reported fifty-one loads taken for export to-day. Feptember sold as low as 73 i?i73?sc at one time, but at the close had rallied to 744fi74v4c. and showed some steadiness at that figure. Corn was lairly active and irregular. There was continued liquidation in July, which kept the price of that option down while September was" advancing slightly. Snow's report made the condition of corn 86 per cent. Receipts were liberal, being cars. There was a good cash Inquiry here and at the seaboard. September ranged from 23Tic to 34'4c and closed U'&Hc higher, at 34Uc July closed unchanged at 33c. Oats were moderately irregular and active. Receipts were 269 cars. Crop advices were rather more favorable. September ranged from 2Vllc to 21!gc and closed unchanged at 21s4v July oats closed lower, at 21'8fr21Uc. Provisions were almost at a standstill. Some strength was shown at the opening on the steady hog market and on a general demand from packers, presumably covering. This demand kept up throughout the session. At the close September pork was 5c higher, at $8.43; Septetnber lard 2'c higher, at $5.20, and September ribs a shade higher, at .87Vsfi4.SO.
