OLD MIDLAND IS ALIVE GOOD PAY OFFERED FOR WORK OX THE Ml.NCIC EXTEXSIOX. Gossips Still Insist that IugalU Will Shortly Retire from the Dig Four Presidency. The Chicago & Southeastern Is taking on sew life at the Anderson terminal point, and activity yln the Muncle extension is again being undertaken, according to a dispatch from Anderson. Men arrived there yesterday from Noblesvllle and other points along the line, and were sent out on the extension made about a year ago, when it was announced that upon the completion of the road to Muncle it would become a part of the Brlce system. The work of grading and track reached Dalevllle, but all work was stopped after the death of the Ohloan. The representatives of the Crawford system ere offering from 11.23 to 1L50 a day, with a promise of pay day every two weeks. Claims are now made that trains will be running into Muncle by Aug. 15. As to Theoretical Railroad Men. The New York Times, commenting on the much-discussed retirement of President Ingalls from the Big Four, and assuming that the report is true, says that with Mr. Ingalls will retire from the head of the socalled Vanderbilt Uns the last of the theoretical presidents'. The only inference to be drawn from this Is that Mr. Ingalla is not a practical railroad man and that, lacking a thorough training in the mysteries of the railroad business, his career as the head of the Big Four system has been a failure. The Times writer seems to be of opinion that a man cannot succeed in properly discharging the duties of a high office in railroad business unless he has worked his way tip from track walker, or boss of a section gang. While many in fact, most eminent railroad managers have worked their way vp from humble beginnings, it is still true that many have succeeded most admirably without such training. Mr. Ingalls's is i case in point. He made his first appearance in the West in 171 as the attorney for the Bo? ton bondholders of the old Cincinnati. Indianapolis & Lafayette road. As the result of the litigation following the failure of the company to pay the interest on its bonds Mr. Ingalls was made receiver of the road. As receiver he created such a favorable impression by reason of his capable management of the property that when the company was reorganized and taken out of the receiver's hands he was chosen as president of the company, which position he has held continuously since a period covering over a quarter or a century. Under his masterly management the road has grown from a feeble, bankrupt Una of less than two hundred miles in length, to the vast system known as the Big Four, operating lines extending from Cleveland and Cincinnati to Chicago, St. Louis and Cairo, with numerous branch lines which convey Its business Into every part of Indiana and Ohio. It was his successful management of the Big Four which led to his being chosen president of the Chesapeake & Ohio, and the remarkably successful business which that road has been carrying on sicca he became its execu

tive head, fully Justifies his selection for that position. It seems very clear from the results attained that a man may as easily learn how to run a railway system by serving as its president for nearly thirty years as by spending an apprenticeship at straightening lines or ballasting track. LlKhts nt Railroad Crowning. Several months ago the Richmond Council passed an ordinance providing for electric arc lights at the local crossings. The Pennsylvania Company paid no attention to the ordinance and later a number of arrests were made and several fines assessed. The attorney for the company appealed the case and filed an answer to the proceedings, setting out several alleged reasons why the city should not require the lights at crossings. One reason given is that such lights would be bllndlr.tr to the employes of tha road when approaching them and might lead to accidents rather than prevent them. Anothrr reason Is that the city cannot expect the railroad company to light her streets, which. It Is claimed, the placing of lights at crossings would amount to. The court heard arKument on the answer filed by the company's attorney and then took the case under advisement. It is expected the case will go to the Supreme Court whatever may be the ruling of the lower court.

FlKht to Enter Storm Lake. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Taul and the Minneapolis & St. Louis roads have forces of track layers face to face, fighting for the right of way through the town of Storm Lake. Ia. Both roads are building new lines into the town. The Minneapolis & St. Louis got the right of way first, and three weeks ago its rival hastily built across the line. The court enjoined the St. Paul and ordered the tracks removed, which was done. Yesterday the St. Paul put men to work again to relay the line. Both roads rushed forces to the ?oene and work Is .usnended, each force watching? the other and a clash Is seriously threatened. Personal, Local and General Note. Superintendent of Motive Power Garstang, of the Big Four, went East yesterday. The bi-monthly meeting of the Big Four officials will be held at Put-In Bay to-day. The C, II. & D. had 41i) passengers from this point for its Niagara Falls excursion yesterday. TRe Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis had Just 993 excursionists to Cincinnati on Sunday. Oklahoma is preparing to ship a train of fifteen carloads of grain through to New York, via Chicago, with brass band accompaniment and a general hurrah. The commissioner of the General Land Office has issued a patent for Atlantic and Prescott Railroad lands covering 101,231 acres in the primary limits in the Prescott district. Arizona. During the last six months the Western roads delivered 123,137 cars of grain In Chicago. With the exception of last season, which brought 111.717 cars, this was the largest for many years. The Illinois Central Railroad has completed arrangements with the Pullman company for the equipment of th ChicagoNew Orleans. St. Louis-New Orleans and Cincinnati-New Orlenas trains with new twelve-section drawing room cars, having all the modern improvemente. George W. Stevens, of Toledo, who recently resigned as superintendent of motive power of the Lake Shore road, was presented with a diamond shirt stud, a cutglass punch service, an easy chair and a traveling case by the employes of the department. They raised 1100 for the presents. Every time President Callaway, of the New York Central, and President Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania, get Into the same State the story Is repeated by some enterprising reporter that the two great railroad systems are to form an alliance. The latest report la that Callaway, Cassatt and Vanderbilt are to meet In New York this week and consummate the deal. It. is reported that a company, headed by Edwin Woods, of Chicago, has been organized to build a railroad from Memphis to Knoxville. Tenn Mr. Woods writes a Knoxville man that he has disposed of $12.ono.000 worth of construction bonds to Boston capitalists. He says there will be a beeline between the two cities and It will be running in two years. It is styled the Tennessee Eastern and Western Railway. The Union Pacific has decided to make Its Omaha-Ogden line a double-track road. During the last three or four years the Union Pacific has steadily increased the tonnage of its trains, and only the very best power and the largest locomotives and cars have been used. But, in spite of the Increased number of cars in a train and the increased amount of freight hauled by one engine, the number of trains has continued to increase. The July number of the "Book of the Royal Blue" is designated as a "special G. A. R. number" and is accompanied by a bircTs-eye map of portions of Virginia, Maryland. Pennsylvania and West Virginia, showing the -location of battlefields reached by the Baltimore & Ohio line?. It contains an interesting sketch, showing the relations of tte B. & O. to the civil w,ar and a description of the battle of Gettysburg by Thomas E. Jenkins. The article is profusely Illustrated. Applicants for passes on Wisconsin railways now have to establish their good character by signing the following declaration: "I herebv declare that I am not a member or employe of any political committee, nor a candidate for, nor an incumbent of, any office or position under the constitution or laws of Wisconsin, or under any ordinance of any town or municipality of that State; and that this pass was not requested by and is not for the advantage of any such person or persons." Illinois Central representatives say that from present indications there will be a heavier movement of grain to New Orleans the approaching season than ever before. The company has recently Improved its facilities at that port, so that it can now handle about twice the quantity of grain with the same engine power that it could before. In this way the Illinois Central while adding to the value and productiveness of its own properties, is preparing for what seems to be the inevitable rate struggle between the Atlantic and gulf ports. The notice of the Chicago & Alton stockholders meeting, for Sept. 7, to authorize the loan of J40.0u0,000 on 50-year 3 per cent, bonds states that the proceeds of these bonds are to be used in funding the company's Indebtedness and procuring funds for completing, furnishing. Improving, operating or malntalng its railroads or extensions thereof. There will also be submitted at such meeting the proposition to execute a mortgage to the Illionls Trust and Ravings, Bank, as trustee, to secure the payment of said issue of $40,000,000 face value of bonds, with power to issue additional bonds under said mortgage as may be hereafter duly authorized by the stockholders. The Burlington & Missouri Railroad is bragging over an unprecedented feat In freight business. It recently moved the courthouse of Boxbutte county, Nebraska, from Hemingford to Alliance, the location of the county seat having been thus shifted. The courthouse has a heavy truss roof with a heavy hard pine frame. As there were two cuts to pass through the building was1 raised on timbers high enough to clear the banks, and when ready to start it was fifty feet from the track to the top of the deck on the building. The weight of the building is estimated at one hundred tons. It was hauled on four 50.000-pound capacity trucks. The building was moved at the rate of six miles an hour. Six hours after leaving Hemingford the building was clear of the tracks at Alliance. The general passenger agents of the Chl-cago-St. Paul lines will meet to-day at the headpuarters of the Western Passenger Association and make an attempt to remedy the rate situation. It looks as though the effort would be in vain. Some of the weak lines refuf e to join the Western Passenger Association, as they say it would only hamper them, while it would not deter the strong lines from doing as they pleased. It Is said some of the strong lines have positive proof that a number of the socalled weak lines have cut rates, but they dare not present the matter before the Interstate-commerce Commission because thev fear the culprits have equally strong evidence to present against them. Thus "conscience doth make cowards" of the lines which are professing a strong desire to put an end to scalping rates. Pensions for Veterans.

STOCKS CLOSED HIGHER

AFTER AX EARLY DECLINE THERE WAS A RALLY IX THE LIST. Apprehension on Account of the Money Situation Abroad Retards Speculation Local Trade Active. At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 3H'?4 per cent.; last loan, 4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, ZMQV.t rer cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business In bankers bills at $i.871.87 for demand and at $4.S4UIS-H& for sixty days; posted rates, $4.S5Vi and $4.8614; commercial bills. 14.81S4.84,. Silver certificates, G0Q61c; bar silver, 60 G0c; Mexican dollars, 4Sc. At London bar silver closed steady at 27Hd an ounce. There was little change in the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, business continuing at the same low ebb as during last week, which was the smallest week's business of the year. A break in Consolidated Gas of 2?i and a decline of over a point in Sugar turned prices downwards in the morning, but the bears were not disposed to be aggressive. Late In the day an active demand developed for New York Central, which lifted that stock IK from the early point. The whole market hardened in sympathy, Pennsylvania being conspicuously affected. The only fractional losses were thus wiped out and final prices were a shade above those of Saturday, as a rule. There were a few wide movements in the prfces of individual stocks. Manhattan Federal Steel, American Oil preferred and Lead were heavy at one time and General Electric fell off a fraction but later rose over two points, closing at 121. Pittsburg, C, C. & St. L., St. Louis S. W. preferred, the Iowa Central stocks, the Pressed Steel Car stocks and a few others made some display of strength. The money markets of the world show continued relaxation from the recent strain, discounts in London and in Berlin declining an additional fraction, but, while anxiety over the money outlook is for the moment relieved, there is a general feeling that higher rates will rule In the near future. Local money lenders are disinclined to lend money on time at present rates, believing that higher rates will prevail later. Owing to the activity of trade both In England and Germany and the large speculative commitments at Paris and Berlin, there will undoubtedly be a demand to borrow the credits established by the United States on account of food exports. Such loans were made on a large scale last year, but It Is evident that higher rates of interest will be required to prevent the calling home of this country's credits during the coming months, owing to the Increasing demand at home. It is this situation which has caused a halt in speculation in securities. Boi'ds were dull and narrow and changes In pi Ices were mixed. Total sales, par value, $1,650,000.

Monday's Trade Gives Promise of a Good Business for the Week. While the volume of business on the street yesterday was only of moderate proportions, there was enough to indicate that the trade for the coming week will be fully up to the average for the first three weeks of the month. Never has business been in a more healthy and satisfactory condition. Sales are liberal, prices are phenomenally steady, and collections have seldom been more rrompt. In country produce It will be noted that, as predicted, poultry and eggs are lower. The receipts of poultry are liberal, which accounts for the decline In price, while eggs have to be scrutinized more closely. Receipts of wheat have fallen off. the inspections In for yesterday numbering more than one hundred cars less than for Monday cf last week. Receipts of corn were more liberal, and prices for all grades are off c, while wheat remains unchanged. The secretary of the Board of Trade furnishes the following quotations: Wheat No. 2 red. 67c; No. 3 red. 6466c; July, 67c; wagon wheat, 67c.

HEAVY GRAIN MARKET

LARGE IXCREASC IX TUB VISIBLE SUPPLY DEPRESSED WHEAT. Oats Were I'nder Pressure find the Cutehlni? of Stop Loss Orders in Provisions Caused a Decline. CHICAGO. July 24.-A large Increase in the visible supply caused a loss of an early advance of c in wheat to-day, September closing unchanged at TOTOHc Corn closed a shade higher and oats HSUc lower. Provisions collapsed under the execution of stop lors orders. Tork lost lQlTlic, lard 10c and ribs 5c. Unfavorable weather in France and Germany, in connection with complaints of rust from the Dakotas and larger world's shipments than expected started wheat strong. The loss of nearly a million bushels of wheat in an elevator fire at Toledo added to the bullish sentiments. September opened liHc higher, at TO'ic cold sparingly 1-lCc lower and advanced to TOlaSTOUc Speculation was slack, however, and when an increase of 1,467,000 bushels In the vlvlble supply was reported the price slipped back to iCHc. A low cash demand. Improved weather in the Northwest and reports that harvesting had begun in Minnesota also had a depressing influence. There was a temporary rally near the end of the session, but for all the advance there was more for sale than the aiarket could absorb and September closed with sellers at TO'iTOHc. Primary Western market receipts were 933,000 bushels, compared with 756,000 bushels last year. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour equaled 43S.OOO bushels. Chicago received 128 cars, and Minneapolis and Duluth 565. The world's shipments of wheat and flour for the week amounted to 7,104,000 bushels and the' quantity on ocean passage decreased 1,080,000 bushels. An Increase of 69,000 bushels in the visible supply wiped out a feeble rally In corn. Cash business was curtailed by the smallness of country offerings. Receipts, 624 cars. September opened unchanged, at 31S1TbC. advanced to S2c, declined to 31?ic. and closed at 31c. Favorable crop reports and large receipts weakened oats. The visible supply decreased 94,000 bushels. Receipts, 212 cars. September opened unchanged at lSc, advanced to 19fil&ic, declined to 19c, and closed at 19HlHic. Better prices at the yards started provisions firm at a moderate advance. Selling by packers, however, started a decline, which met numerous stop loss orders ird a decline followed. September pork epened a shade higner at J9.20, advanced to declined to $9, and closed at $9.0L14. September lard opened unchanged at $5.57, iose to $5.57&fc'5.60, declined to J3.45G5.47H. and closed with buyers at $5.47.

Shiel & Co. Antl-Truat Live Stock Market. ' Indianapolis. July 24. Receipts were lighter all around the last weelc than were anticipated and pricea higher owing to the light receipts. It looks now as It the hogs were not in the country or the advanca of 70 rents the last two weeks would have brought them in. We are not likely to see much if any lower prices the next two months, as there ts good demand East for the product, especially the part that is consumed fresh. We ar not receiving one-fourth enough to supply the demand. We bought all J. Davis & Co. received last week except what they used on order and aoli them some. A very largo proportion of the receipts this time of year go n order. It la useleM to have stock pass through here to be sold In Eastern markets, as the b dyers who buy In thesa markets order here when they cannot get stock: there. The trust Is getting very shaky and we look for break la the near future, A number of firms are getting tired of the yoke of oppressloa and are going to Crete themselves and aell their stock in the open market to the highest and best buyer. The new stockyards our friends are constructing axe progressing rapidly and the cost of labor alone was cloee to 32.000 last week- They will have the new yards completed and ready fog burlness not later than the first of Beptember. They will be the best yards In the country and will have capacity for all the business that comes. They will be sble to do the same amount of business In half the time and on half tte STace that other yards do.
