NO SUMMER DULLNESS RAILWAY TRAFFIC OVER INDIANAPOLIS LINES CONTINVES HEAVY. Total of 39,139 Cam Moved Last Week, Compared irlth 25,012 In the Same Period of 1S9S. The car movement, as reported by the several roads entering Indianapolis shows a continued large business, considerably in excess of that for the corresponding week for several years past. The total number of cars received and forwarded at this point lor the week ending Saturday was 2S.43D. and of these 23420 were loaded. This shows an Increase in loaded cars moved over the number handled for the corresponding week In 1S33, of 3,042. while the Increase over preceding years was over 1507. 2.403; over IStt, 7,270, and over 1S33, 5,761. When It Is borne in mind that the car capacity has been largely Increased in the past few years. It rill be realized that the Increase In business has been much greater than would seem to be Indicated by the number of cars. There Is no special article, aside, from grain, that makes up the bulk of the shipments, which are of the most miscellaneous character. While there Is a large amount of coal, coke and Iron moving west, the merchandise shipments are heavy. The In and out-bound business bears about the usual ratio. The total movement of cars on the fifteen Indianapolis lines for the week ending July 22 Is given In the table following, together with the showing for the corresponding period in the preceding two years: Name of Road.

The Vandalla delivered at the stockyards last week 111 loads of live stock. Only twenty-two miles of the Pittsburg division of the Panhandle remains to be double-tracked. The Grand Rapids& Indiana, the Chicago & West Michigan and the Michigan Central will build a union depot at Grand Kapids. Charles B. Price, late superintendent of the river division of the Allegheny Valley. . has been made general superintendent of the main line. It Is reported that II. A. Perkins, commercial agent of the Rock Island at Pittsburg, has been appointed general agent of the company at Omaha. .Advices from Eastern points indicate that fummer travel has seldom been better Everybody seems to have money to spare and to spend on an outing. J. R. Watson, who has been general passenger agent of the Fitchburg road since 1S83, has tendered his resignation, to take place on the 1st of August. The car movement on the Big Four lines last week showed an Increase of 313 over the number moved In the preceding week, and an increase of 1.S04 over the like week last year. The shops of the Chicago, Milwaukee & bt. Paul are running with a full force. There will be built there 2,000 box cars, in preparation for the expected autumn rush of business. Stockholders of the Boston & Albany representing nearly 40.000 shares have issued a circular protesting against the leasing of the road 'to the New York Central on the basis of an 8 per cent, rental. Thomas Lynch, assistant general passenger agent of the Great Northern, denies the xeport that he was to take General Passenger Agent E. W. La Beaume's place with the Cotton Belt road.' Mr. La Beaume is going to the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf line. tV. ir. Sheldon, locating engineer of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul, says the branch line from Minneapolis to Duluth will be. built within a little over a year. The Burvey has been completed. The estimated cost is about S2O.0O0 per mile. The road will be 160 miles long. The Baltimore & Ohio Is remodeling the dlnlngs cars of the Royal Rlue line, so as to provide each with a table d'hote compartment, and also a cafe In which meals will be served a la carte. The latter compartment will have-easy chairs, tables and other conveniences; where gentlemen may eat and smoke with the same degree of comfort they would find at their clubs. The Chicago Times-Herald of yesterday has this mysterious Item: "A well-known assistant general passenger agent of an J-astern line In Chicago has resigned and his friends are awaiting his return to-morrow from the East to find out the reason Jfhy. His road has been doing a heavy business, and from the Chicago end of the line no one has been able to flarure on the reason for his resignation. It will be known to-morrow." Garrett, superintendent of the mldCle division of the Wabash, will, on Aug. 1. become superintendent of a new division of the Reading, the Philadelphia division. This will comprise all of the territory within the city limits of Philadelphia with a few untTlf"1 eptions. This appointment, which is made necessary by the steadily- increasing business of the company in Philadelphia will not affect any of the existing officers of the Reading. The United States Investor gives the following figures: "The gross earnings of fifty roads for the second week In -uly were $6,02403 against $5,104,382 for the second week In July, ls, an Increase of $327,721. Jorty-flve roads show Increases and Ave decreases. Since Jan. 1 the roads referred to above earned $lil.&S6,$35, an Increase of I13.143.0K) over the 11S.SI1.726 reported for the corresponding period of 1S3S. For the longer period forty-six show increases and four decreases. The National Business League will hold a meeting soon probably in Chicago to consider the pooling question. An effort will be made to frame a bill for presentation in Congress that will sanction pooling under tne control of the Interstate-commerce Commission. Chairman Knappe. of the commission, is known to favor such a scheme, and many prominent railroad men, s well as heavy shippers, see In it the only sign of hone for railroads and the hipping interests. The presidents of the lines running east liom Vrnl!?aKO are to meet in that city on a I to con5lder the general situation, nd. if possible, to agree upon an advance In freights. The interstate-commerce law requires ten days notice of a purpose to advance rate, but as yet none of the lines interested has given any such notice. Consequently it Is not possible that any advance in grain rates can be established on tne 1st of August, as had been proposed. It Is likely this question will be held for the consideration of the coming meeting. Startling developments arc probable In the big railway fight between the Minneapolis 6 ht. Louis and Milwaukee roads at Stone Lake. la., where the Milwaukee Is now in forcible possession of the right of way of the Minneapolis & St. Louis, across which It has relatd its tracks In the face of an Injunction. All yesterday the sherlfT of Jluena lata county, with a posse, , remained in possession of the tracks, not per' f?Atrfverence-from !tfcer force. An attempt tnll fca nado llocday to arrest the 2UU

waukee workmen for contempt of court. They pay they will resist and serious trouble Is feared.

Is very near completion. The options so far to the trust will average about $5,000 a pot for plants of twenty pots and under and about $4,000 a blower for tanks. At tho most the trust will not control over S5 per cent. Estimating from only such plants as are actually in existence, either complete or under course of construction, there are in this country 2.690 window pots in shape to operate the coming fall 1,249 in Pennsylvania. 1.031 in Indiana. 132 in New York. 126 in New Jersey. 80 in Ohio, 46 in Maryland, 16 In Delaware and 10 in Massachusetts. In the Western district the following Pennsylvania plants will be outside the trust: Belief onte, 8 pots; Courdersport, 24; Falls Creek, 48; Avanmore (2). 30; Du Bols, 10; New Eagle. 10 total, 130. The following plants are in doubt, though there are reports that all will be outside: Mount Jew. ett, 30; Haielhurst (2). 96; Smlthport (2). 50; D. O. Cunningham, Cunningham, limited, and Issen. Pittsburg. 100; Kane. 48; Bradford. 30 total. 354 pots. This leaves 741 pots for the trust In Pennsylvania in the Western district. In Indiana, giving the trust the Hurrle. of this city, and Elwood press. It will have 837 pots. The known independent will b: Upland. 12; Sheridan. 12; Converse (2). ft; Gas City, 10; Dunkirk Window Class Company. 24: Matthews (3). 36; Pendleton. 8. and Union at Anderson, 10, or 136 potf. All these are co-operative but Sharp at Converse and the Union. The doubtful are ten pots at Alexandria, controlled by the Daniel Stewart Drug Company; 12 at Sweetser and the 36-pot Ohio tank at Arcadia. In Ohio the trust will have Flndlay and the two Lancaster plants total, 52 pots; while Barnesville, 18, and Quaker City, 10, will be outside. Therefore. In the Western district 1.630 pots are sure to be In the trust, 234 outside, while 412 are doubtful. In the Eastern dis-' trict the trust is sure of 118 pots. Thirtyfour are outride and 44 doubtful. In the Northern district the trust is sure of 84. with 8 doubtful and 66 outside. The grand total make 1.832 trust. 334 outside and 464 doubtful, giving the trust only 68 per cent. The probabilities are that the larger portion of the doubtful production will stay cutslde. but if the entire doubtful capacity is given the trust it will control but 85 per cent. Besides this there are a dozen new plants over the country building that will operate independent. nesults of Detroit Races. DETROIT, Mich.. July 22.-Nlght was falling fast as the last heat of ten hours' continuous racing was trotted at the Grosse Point track this evening. In spite of two rainy days the entire programme of twenty races was completed and the attendance at the opening meeting of the Grand Circuit was the largest Blue Ribbon record. There were two unfinished and seven untouched races on to-day's programme when Starter Hoyt called the first field at 9:45 a. m.. and to-night all were finished except the 2:10 trot, which had to be decided in Caracalla's favor because of darkness when he had won but two heats. Hal Bs mile in 2:054. made In to-day's 2:10 pace, is the fastest competition mile of the year except the one by Searchlight in 2:05U at Denver. In this event Driver Snow laid Hal B. up in the first heat and when he was turned loose he had no trouble in taking the three next heats. William Mc won the first heat, but the Judges set him back to last for cutting on Edith within the home stretch. Thursday's unfinished 2:15 pace was first pn to-day's card, with but two competitors left. The Maid won all the way. In the Chamber of Commerce consolation Maud Emperor, with one heat won yesterday, could do nothing with Wandering Jew, who took the other two. There was a plunge on J. B.

REALIZING IN STOCKS

rniCES IX A M'MDER OF THE SHARES CLOSED A TOIXT LOWER. London Traders Were Active Bidders for Americans for a Time Local Markets Continue Firm. At New York. Saturday, money on call was nominally 3Q4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, ZiY2 per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business in bankers' bills at $4. S7a'7i 4.874 for demand, and $1.S4H'84.S4 for sixty days; posted rates, J1.S334.S6; commercial bills, $l.S3Vi. Silver certificates, COgSlc; bar silver, 60Hc; Mexican dollars, 48c. At London, bar silver closed firmer at 274d an ounce. The New York exports of gold and 6llver to all countries for the week aggregated: Silver bars and coin, $345,425: gold, $2,100,417. The imports of dry goods and merchandise for the week were valued at $9,060,641. The Imports of specie were $102,752 gold and 19S,200 silver. Te New York weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus reserve, increase $1,356,850 Loans, decrease 8.828,600 Specie, decrease 2.664,40) Legal tenders, increase 1.015.300 Deposits, decrease 12.031.30i) Circulation, decrease 22,600 The banks now hold $12,055,600 In excess of the requirements of the 25 per cent. rule. The New York Financier says this week: "The reduction of $12,000,000 in the deposits of the New York banks last week lightened reserve requirements about $3,000,000. The Institutions, however, according to their current statement, lost $1,649,100, cash, and for this reason the Increase in surplus reserve was only $1,356,850, which brings present holdings $12.053.600 above legal requirements. The decrease ln loans was nearly $9000,000. In the last three weeks the banks' have contracted outstanding loan obligations no less than twenty-six millions. In the same time deposits have been decreased nearly twenty-seven and one-half millions, while the cash in bank had remained stationary. It will be seen reserves have been strengthened at the expense of outstanding commitments, and the process does not appear to have reached an end yet. There Is no question, however, that the banks are now gaining cash, even if the statement does indicate otherwise. The known operations of money last week were decidedly In favor of the Institutions, the loss of three-quarters of a million to he treasury having been offset by the gain of something like two millions to the Interior. The current exhibit does not reflect this, but It is to be said the losses shown can be traced to two or three large banks, the remaining members having really strengthened their positions. As to the outlook, the opinion Is that there Is nothing in the situation at present to warran an undue expansion in bank figures. The liquidation which began with July has run Its course to a large extent, and while the present Is a mldseason period, the movement of money, will probably continue this way for some little time. Foreign exchange authorities agree that gold exports, except as ppeclal transactions, are at an end, and while the crop season is near at hand, it is not anticipated the demands this year will cause much of a drain from New York. Interior bank reserves are above the average, and this, coupled with easier rates for money abroad, and the certainty that exchange will rule ln favor of New York with the coming grain exports, seems to favor a relaxation rather than a rise In rates here for the time being." Saturday's New York stock market was an unimportant, even an Insignificant affair. London manifested some continued interest in American securities, marking up prices rather above the point reached on this side, even on the opening rl3e. The opening advance at New York quickly succumbed to the sympathetic influence of a reaction in Sugar, which lost something over a point. Heaviness in a few other industrials helped to hold back the market. But the bears were no more disposed to operate than the bulls and the market suspended near Friday night's level. The bank statement brought a realizing movement which carried prices off in some cases a point from the best. Rock Island and a few other stocks which have been going up for several days being most affected. The offerings were well absorbed and the short session ended with quotations not far from. Friday night's prices. The oppressive heat prevailing had something to do with the extreme lassitude of the trading. The American Linseed Oil and Iowa Central stocks showed good advances in prices, and the Fort Worth and Denver City first mortgage bonds rose li on the acquirement of trackage rights between Denver and Pueblo from the Atchison by the Colorado & Southern, which controls the Texas road. The bank statement showed the surplus reserve increased by reason of a contraction In loans, as was expected, but the loss of over a ment is reflected in the bank statement. The million ln cash was a disappointment. In view of the low prevailing rates for money at interior centers, it was expected that funds would have been attracted to New York during the week, but no such movehigh rate for sterling exchange causes some anxiety, as well as bewilderment, ln view of the lower discount rates ln London and the well-marked disposition of London to buy stocks ln New York in the last few days. The sterling rate has only yielded a fraction and still hovers within a cent of the gold export point. Net changes in prices of stocks for the week are mostly small and show both gains and losses. There were some sharp losses in the early part of the week and the movement after that was irregular. It was the smallest week's business of the year. Even dealings by professional operators had dropped to a minimum. Looking back over a period of a month it is easy to discern that the best Judges failed to correctly estimate the world's needs for money and the release of large sums, which was confidently expected after July, has been successfully retained from day to day and from week to week. Large loans were repaid to the Bank of England in the first days of July, but before the week was over the market was again a borrower from the bank and has been ever since, at rates up to 4k per cent., as against the bank's official minimum of 3H per cent. Only In the last three days has there been any marked relaxation ln money stringency at the British capital. It has been obvious, as the situation developed, that London and the continent were going to be more dependent on the United States- for relief than was contemplated, and the continued hardness of money here has aroused doubts as, to the avalliability of that relief. The situation is conclusive evidence of the continued strong influence of America in the money markets of the world. The industrial activity in Germany, especially in iron and' steel, and the speculation on the Berlin Boerse have kept money high at Berlin. In Great Britain Itself there have been expanding trade and interior demand for money beyond what has been counted on, and the call of a portion of the Japanese loan pinched the London market. In the face of these conditions, when London saw the money rate In New York holding high and very slow to yield, the speculation in securities came to a standstill, not only In London, but on the continent and ln New York. The largeness within which the money paid ln dividends and Interest on July 11 has reappeared in New York bank deposits, while It delayed relief, is evidence of the widespread distribution of securities. Several large financial transactions have made demands on New York banks, including the flotation of the tube combination, temporary loans to the New York city government and the Mexican loan. The unexampled activity in all branches of business and industry makes use for the large funds at interior points, which would otherwise find their way into New York banking deposits, but which only a high rate for rr.oney ln New York now serves to attract. Nevertheless, high-class bonds, railroad, state and municipal, continue at record figures and capital is evidently abundant as never before. The conserva tlve clement views with equanimity the failure to arouse a rampant speculation ln securities, and holders are apparently well satisfied to hold at present prices. The strct-rallroad strikes In the Brooklyn and Manhattan boroughs of New York aroused some anxiety as a possible symptom of general unrest among wage earners. This has been an Important factor in discouraging active operations in the stock market, while so many favorable conditions seemed to presage that rise ln prices. Dealings in bonds have been dull and some Issues fell away in price, but others moved upward on active demand. United States registered threes and fives advanced . and' the old four, registered, M, and fours,-coupon, In the bid price. Ciofilrif Sales. b!. Atchison 1.300 yjvK Atchison pref 7.0W tii

WHEAT MOVED UPWARDS

OPENED A CENT HIGHER AND RETAINED 3IOST OF THE ADVANCE. Chicago Dears Became Suddenly Tan-Ic-Strlcken on Fears of Crop Dam- . age In the Northwest. CHICAGO, July 22. Wheat on the Board of Trade lost about half of an early advance of lUc on predictions of relief from the hot weather in the Northwest. September closed He net higher at 70Vi'S70!ic. Corn, cats and provisions closed unchanged, ahd provisions very near yesterday. Wheat opened strong on reports of extreme heat in the Northwest, a condition injurious to spring wheat in Its present state. September began at an advance of lc. with the bulk of trading at 70Tc A further advance was scored Immediately to 71Uc. A cool wave was sighted by the weather prophet in the far Northwest, but unheeding that shorts rushed to cover. The average maximum temperature reported from South Dakota and Minnesota was 100 degrees. Thtre were also reports of damage from rains ln parts of the West and Southwest. The seaboard reported a good export business. Selling against calls and official predictions that the cool wave would move southward soon checked the rise. Shorts recovered from their fright and resumed selling with such success that at the end of the short session c had been clipped off the September price. Receipts at primary points were 671.70S bushels, against 369,343 last year. Duluth and Minneapolis reported 400 cars, as compared with 611 last week and forty-three a year ago. Local receipts were seventy-nine cars, five of which were contract grade. September closed at 7O1i70;c, a net gain of c. Corn opened strong in sympathy with wheat, September 4trc up. Reports were uniformly favorable for crop prospects, but the sympathetic impulse carried September up to 32VbS32Uc There had been considerable realizing on'the bulge, and when wheat began to decline corn followed. September closed weak at 314$31c. Receipts here .were 586 cars. Oats ruled dull and easy. September opened a shade under yesterday at 19!c, sold off to l$WGl$c and closed at 19"ftc, sellers. There was a fair cash demand. Receipts were IS cars. Provisions opened strong with hogs 10c up. The weakness which later developed in corn was communicated to provisions, and the early strength was dissipated. September pork closed unchanged' at $9.17 9.3); , September lard steady at $5.574. and September ribs steady at 15.224 bid.
