FINLAY ACCEPTS WILL ACT AS AX ARBITRATOR FOR PRESIDENTS OF RAILWAYS. New Baals of Differentials, Excess Fares and Other Matters to Re Considered at Seir YoiU This Week. TV. W. Flnlay. third vice president of the Southern Railway, will be one of the arbitrators for the presidents and executive officers of the Eastern trunk lines and their Western connections, to consider a new basla of differentials, excess fares and concessions. Commissioner F. C. Donald and Chairman James Goddard, who were elected June 23 to arbitrate the question with a third man, whom they were to name, have secured the acceptance of Mr. Flnlay and will hold their first meeting at the Waldorf Hotel, In New York, on Thursday. Mr, Donald will leave for the East to-day. Grain Movement Via the Golf. P. II. Goodwyn, general freight agent of the Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe, has this to say regarding the competition for the movement of .the Southwestern grain crop: "The railroads are very much opposed to the Texas commission's views that there should be no difference between rates on grain for export and for domestic consumption; also to the proposition that because grain la being hauled from Kansas City to the gulf ports at very low rates, the xates In Texas should be reduced to a proJortlonate basis. They claim the rates from Kansas City are made in the midst of a strictly competitive territory, with the elexrent of water competition entering Into the situation, and for the purpose of meeting conditions of trade with foreign countries and against the competition of the grain of foreign lands. They claim tht these conditions are not all met with In Texas. "While they are making no threats in the premises, the railroad people say If the railroad cominls.lon persists In Its proposition to reduce the Texas rates to a basis proportionate to the rates on export grain from Kansas City to the gulf, they will pimply have to raise the rates from Kansas City to such a high basis that no grain can move through the gulf ports from that trrltory; They say they are handling this Western grain at a very narrow margin of Froflt. and they can better afford to give t up than to suffer the depletion of their revenues on Texas business. General 'otes. The sale of the Leavenworth. Topeka & Southwestern Is set for the 9th prox. The Southwestern lines will adopt the new mileage book system on the 1st of next month. New steel rails have been distributed through Broadcut on the Pittsburg end of the Panhandle. The Pittsburg & Lake Erie has taken a lease of the Beaver & Elwood for a period of twenty years. The Pittsburg & Western reports its excursion business out of the Mahoning valley the heaviest In Its history. The Pennsylvania reports the quantity of caol and coke originating on Its lines east of nttsburg; for the year to July 8 as 13,tt7.733 ton. The Colorado Board of Equalization reyorts the valuation of railroad property in that State for taxation at J31.S74.4rK;. an increase of about fl.ouo.ooo over the assessment of l$7l. H. K. Shrover. general shop foreman of the Ohio Southern, has taken service with the nttsburg & Fort Wayne. His former Slace Is taken by 8. N. Crawford, late with ae Peoria & Eastern. The Pittsburg Post says accurate records between ml!e posts show that for three days last week the fast trains on the Pittsburg & Lake Erie between Edlnburg and LowelTllle. west bound, made an average of seventy-four miles an hour, and the westtound trains rcade an average of eixty-

four miles between Moravia Station and Leaver Falls. A few days aro Train 11 on the Pennsylvania line made the run between Alliance and Cleveland at an average speed of seventy-two miles an hour. The Santa Fe and Colorado Southern have entered Into an agreement to operate In common between Trinidad. Pueblo and Denver. The freight trains of both roads will use the Southern tracks, while the passenger trains of both will run over the tracks of the Santa Fe. The representatives of the local freight committees of Buffalo. Cleveland. Pittsburg. Wheeling, Akron, etc., at their last meeting decided to recommend a general advance of 20 cents per prross ton on iron and steel shipments from Pittsburg and Buffalo districts to the Northwest. The Panhandie has arranged a fast schedule for the special which is to convey the Epworth League visitors from Pittsburg to this city on Thursday. The run will be made In four hours less than regular time. There will be about two hundred people in the Pittsburg delegation. The statement that M. E. Ingalls was about to leave the Big Four Company to become the arbitrator for the VanderbiltMorsan Interests Is untrue. Mr. Ingalls.

who is at Hot Springs. Va.. in reply to a query yesterday, said: "There is not a word of truth In the report." It is reported that plans have been completed to begin on Sept. 1 a survey for an extension of the Kansas Midland from Wichita to Pawnee and South McAlester, I. T.; Texarkana, Ark., and Denison. Tex. Thev?eheme Is to be financed by Louisville, New York and Holland capitalists. Instead of transferring its Allegheny shops to some other point, as was intimated some time ago, the Pennsylvania is preparing to greatly enlarge them and increase the facilities for repair work. Located as the shops are in the center of its greatest freight district, the company finds It is true economy to do the most of Its repair work there, saving the cost of transfer to other points. A correspondent of the Tittsburg Post gives an . interesting account of a trip on the Urslna & North Fork Railway, a feeder of the Baltimore & Ohio, in which the train was hauled by a Baldwin locomotive built forty years ago, and which hauled the first passenger train between Pittsburg and Connellsville on the old Pittsburg & Connellsvllle road. It has been in constant use since first put to work and Is still In perfect condition. . On the heavy grade at Urslna, on the Baltimore & Ohio, where an assisting engine is used, they have the head engine without air brake connections, and the preceding locomotive has the air brake attachments. In some cases, however, for convenience if necessary the head engine uses the air brakes to about the center of the train, where the assisting engine is plactd, and the air brakes on the rear part of the train are manipulated from the cab of the second engine. SALE OF RIPPLE LINE. The Conrt Confirm It Brown from Philadelphia. Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, yesterday approved the sale of the Indianapolis and Broad Ripple Street Railroad to W. F. Brown, who was the successful bidder at the sale on Saturday. Mr. Brown was not present, but was represented by At" torney John R. Wilson. It is said that Mr. Brown lives in Philadelphia. He left the city on Saturday after his bid of $200,000 was accepted by Receiver Cockrum. The latter made a deed for the property yesterday and deposited It with the county recorder. Hugh McGowan, general manager of the Indianapolis Street-railway Company, was present at the confirmation proceedings yesterday, with his attorney, Ferdinand Winter, which fact led to fresh speculation as to the real Identity of the purchaser of the Broad Ripple property. Some one remarked yesterday that the Indianapolis Street-railway Company had certainly bought the Broad Ripple line, as no one else could afford to pay the price that was paid for it. Attorney John R. Wilson said that his client, W. F. Brown, was a rich Phliadelphlan, who has for years been Interested In electric railway corporations. A motion was yesterday filed to dismiss the appeal of the suit of R. S. Taylor, administrator, against the Broad Ripple road, which was taken to the Supreme Court. Account of Mrs. Scarlett Death. Joseph A. Kebler, administrator of the estate of Emma Scarlett, brought a suit for 110,000 damages in the Superior Court yesterday against the Indianapolis Street-railway Company. Mrs. Scarlett was killed by a Brightwood car on Aug. 21, 1897. at Liberty street and Massachusetts avenue. She was driving and her carriage was struck by the jcar as she was crossing the track. The complaint charges that the car was running twenty miles an hour. Wants Off 'evhouse Bond. James Johnson has asked the Circuit Court to release him as surety on the bond of John W. Newhouse, deputy fish commissioner. Johnson says he became surety for Newhouse on the assurance of the latter that William' Spencer would also be on the bond. Johnson says he has since learned that Newhouse did not speak to Spencer about the matter. Johnson charges that the deputy fish commissioner is performing his omclal duties in a negligent manner. A IlarveysburK 3Ians Insurance. Adolph Mann, in the Superior Court, is suing the American Indemnity and Assurance Company on a fire insurance policy which he claims was issued to him on his store at Harveysburg.

The New York stock market yesterday was an aimless and insignificant affair, except so far as the dullness and neglect were significant of the doubtful state of many mlnas over the money outlook. Operations were strictly confined to professional manipulation by the room traders. This kind of trading resulted In only trivial net changes. mo6t of "which were on the side of losses. The range of rrlces was quite wide during the day, many stocks at one time rising a shade over Saturday and then dropping from one to two points. The latter portion of the day was devoted to a desultory covering movement which re claimed most of the earlier losses. Even Brook lyn Transit, which was the center of the day's weakness, recovered to within M of Saturday's close, but yielded sharply to bear pressure in the final dealings. , Labor troubles played a large part In the day's market, Brooklyn Transit being most conspicuously affected by reason of the strike. The stock opened off ITs and Manhattan and Metropolitan Street-railway were keenly affected In sympathy, the former losing 1M and the latter three points. Brooklyn Transit was vigorously supported by Inside interests and quickly rallied a point, giving the short interest, which is supposed to be large, small opportunity to cover. Later the stock fell an extreme 2Vi points when th news came that the street-cap strike In Cleveland had been renewed, as it was feared this might presage a general sympathetic strike. People's Gas and Federal Steel, as being Flower's specialties, were depressed in sympathy with Brooklyn. Federal Steel dropping an extreme 1. New York Air-brake broke twelve points and after vibrating wildly scored a full recovery. American Smelting moved upward on the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court against the constitutionality of the State's eight-hour law, the conflicting interpretations of which led to the smelters' strike. Tin-plate moved up on the wage scale agreement and the advance in the. price of the product. The late weakness of Brooklyn Transit and a break In Sugar of nearly two points brought the most active selling move ment of the day. . when net declines reached a point In a number of cases. Including the grangers and Atchison preferred, and In New York Central reached ISThe failure of the call money market to weaken In srlte of Saturday's favorable bank statement caused uneasiness regarding the future. &fost of the day's loans were made at 4, per cent., and the rate weakened to 2 per cent, only after most of the demand had been satisfied. Rumors of financial difficulties in London causod doubt and hesitation in all the world's great stock markets The rrlvate discount rate there rose to 3 rer cent, and demand sterling and cables on this side advanced M. There were very persistent rumors that gold would go from New York this week; transactions in the New York stock market for London account were, however, insignificant. The absence of any announcement of a gold ship ment by to-day's steamer was a factor In the late recovery of the market. The market for bonds was dull and heavy in sympathy with stocks.

HEAVY WHEAT MARKET

OPENING PRICES THE HIGHEST, WITH THE CLOSE 1 3-SC LOWER. Visible Supply Increased and Dear Were Loaded with Ammunition for a Raid Previsions Stronger. CHICAGO. July 17. Heaviness was the characteristic of the grain markets from start to finish to-day. Wheat declined lc, corn lc and cats c Provisions Tiled moderately active and closed 205c higher, the latter for pork. Wheat opened weak and 0c lower for September at 72072c. The opening quotations were the highest of the day. Excellent weather for spring wheat, heavy domestic receipts and a decline cf ld at Liverpool furnished the bears with a surplus of ammunition and they used It with good effect. When the visible supply report was completed, showing an Increase of 643.000 bushels, compared with a decrease of over two million bushels the same week last year, long wheat was thrown on the market regardless of price. Primary Western markets received 1.133,000 bushels, compared with 468.000 a year ago. The English visible Increased 542,000 bushels, against 112.000 decrease last year. Atlantic clearances, wheat and flour, amounted to only 26S.00O bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth received 756 cars, against ninety-four a year ago. Chicago received 109 cars, compared with ninety-eight last year. This summary of figures was altogether discouraging and under its influence and that of the promising prospects for spring wheat the market ruled very heavy, September selling down to 71c and closing at the bottom of the day's range. Corn ruled heavy. Influenced by fine growing weather and liberal receipts. Several local long lines were liquidated on the decline. Cash dealers reported only 40,000 bushels sold. Local receipts were 513 cars. The visible supply decreased 329,000 bushels, against 2,865,000 decrease last year. September opened 0c lower at 33033c, declined to 32 033c and closed with sellers at 33c. Oats were weak and lower on favorable weather and sympathy -with wheat and corn. Only 50,000 bushejs were sold for export. The visible decreased 859,000 bushels. Receipts at Chicago were 196 cars. The. visible decrease served to check offerings. September opened steady at 20c, sold at 20c, declined to 20c and closed at 20c. Provisions were firm, notwithstanding the weakness of cereals.- Opening prices showed some improvement, due to an advance of 5c In hogs. The market was loaded with long stuff on the advance and most of the early advance was wiped out before the close. Outside speculative and cash demand continued good. September pork sold between $9.1209.25 and closed 5c net higher at $5.15. September lard sold between $5.45 05.52. closing 2c net higher at $5.47. Sep tember ribs sold at $5.1?05.25, closing 2c net higher at $5.17. Estimated receipts for Tuesday Wheat, 145 cars; corn. 730 cars; oats, 300 cars; hogs, 24,000.

Indianapolis. Ind., July 17, 1S99. We had good receipts last week, but nothing . like enough to fill our orders. It shows clearly now why the Stockyards Company took our assorting pens away from us, and that was to give them to scalpers, to make the country believs they had large buyers here. Last Saturday wo bad to handle 2.231 hogs In pens that would not hold much more than half that number. The parties that got our pens bought about 1.800 hogs, and sold about L100 of them to packers, and this Is not an uncommon thing. When we were competitors of these same packers, before they put us out of business, last year, they would not buy a few hogs of as. If we had any left, unless they bought them 5c or 10c less than the market. They had not bought L1W hogs or us In six months before they put us out of business. The bosses compelled us to buy their whole string st one price, and, when we had begs left we had no orders for, they always fixed It so we had to dispose of them at less than the market price. Now the yard company, packers and scalpers, who wanted to get rid of our competition, look like they wanted to make this a scalping market, snd the yard company is a party to it. It takes a , very bright man to buy and sell In the same market and make a profit, unless there Is a dull lot of buyers or a dull lot of salesmen somewhere.. We quote, to-day, mediums and heavies at S4.32i.464.S74. and lights at I4.32H94.35. These quotations are for mixed hogs, with a dock. Good pigs selling as high as light hogs.
