GOULDS BEING FROZEN OTHER INTERESTS HAVE GAINED CONTROL OP THE ST. L. S. W. ETne Chicago & IlllnoU Will Hold n . Majority of the Stock Rock Island Deal Denied. The New York Journal and Advertiser fays: "The Goulds are understood no longer to have control of the St. Louis Southwestern Railroad. It Is stated reliably that banking houses Identified to some extent with the Chicago & Eastern Illinois now hold a majority interest In the property. Most of the improvements which have been recently made in the way of new equlpxnent, heavier rails and better roadbed have been at the instance of the nev interest now In control. The payment of the interest on the second Income bonds was forced by the present controlling element very much egalnst the wishes of the Goulds, who prefer to keep the money in the treasury. Edvin Gould retains the presidency, but is no longer the active manager of the property, which work now devolves upon the vice president and general manager who was formerly with the Great Northern and who has practically revolutionized the business In the property. The connecting line of about elghty-seen miles, which will run from the northern terminus of the St. Louis Southwestern to the southwestern terminus of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, will. It is expected, be completed within about thirty days. When this Is actually finished through trains can be operated from Chicago to the Gulf over a shorter route than any except the Illinois Central, which, however, has the disadvantage of not having as good port facilities as can be offered by the Southwestern. With the train mileage question the predominant feature of modern railroading the new line will be particularly well equipped, as the improvements on the Southwestern have brought that line tip to date, enabling the running of the heavy locomotives and cars of the Eastern Illinois road over the entire line. It Is authoritatively stated that the Rock Island system does not figure in the new deal.'" The Chlcago-St. Pnnl Meeting. The Chicago Record comments as follows upon the results of the meeting held in that city on Tuesday to adjust the troubles concerning cut rates between Chicago and St. Paul. The Chicigo-St. Paul lines and their allies met and discussed the Seattle rate troubles. The Chicago Great Western was accused of Slaving inaugurated a cut. General Passenger Agent Lord, although his road Is not a mesiber of the association, declined to plead that Is, he refused to say whether his road bad or had not started a rate war. The meeting was short and sharp. If not decisive. There were accusations and counter accusations. After much discussion It was decided to make another effort to bring in the wandering sheep the Chicago Great "Western, the Wisconsin Central and the Ulnneapolis & St. Louis. "Jim Pond, of the Wisconsin Central, was in town, but be kept In the background. Mr. Pond, as Is well known, would like to get into the association. Ilia road has recently undergone a very, drastic reorganization. The tipnhot of the meeting- was that Lord and Tond were given time to Interview their superior officers with reference to their prospective membership in the association. Ohe Minneapolis & St. Louis was not represented in anyway. The net result of the meeting is this:. The $4 cut in the basing rate between Chicago and St. Paul inaugurated by the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul for the purpose of reducing the rate from Seattle to Chicago to meet alleged competition rates Is rescinded and rates are restored to the normal figure. The meeting adjourned to July 2S to hear from tho Great Wfcftem and the Wisconsin Central, and perhaps the Minneapolis & St. Louis. Guatemala Central Sold. President Cabrera, of Guatemala, has advised Consul General Galeclo. at San FranCisco, of the sale of the Guatemalan Central Railroad to a New York syndicate. This road was originally planned by Ruflno Uarrios to extend from the city of Guatemala eastward to Port Barries, where connection can be made with New Orleans trtttr. Practically, when finished, n

would be an extension of the Pacific Improvement Company's road. which connects the city of Guatemala with the Pacific seaboard. There are yet sixty miles of road to be completed. There were three prospective purchasers, one of them being C. P. Huntington and tho others two New York syndicates. Mr. Huntington. It is said, declined to buy the road. WMch of the two New York syndicates is the purchaser President Cabrera does not state in his message. He. however, informs the consul general that, as a reult of the sale, exchange in Guatemala which recently advanced to 54.80, has fallen to $3.fe0.

Illinois Centrnl to Get the P., D. A E. The Chicago Tribune says: "It Is learned from reliable authority that arrangements practically have been completed that will give the Illinois Central control of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville road, now In the hands of a receiver, but soon to be foreclosed. It has a line from Peoria to Evansville. 250 miles, where It connects with the Illinois Central's Louisville and New Orleans line. It also crosses the Illinois Central's main line and Its Chicago line. The Illinois Central at present has no direct outlet west from Evansville and Louisville, but the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville will give the road outlets both to Peoria and Chicago." The Right of Way Secured. The last foot of the right of way for the extarffion of tho Chicago & Southeastern (Midland) Railroad from Anderson to Muncle was secured yesterday by Superintendent Moore paying 51,200 to Catherine Witt, near Muncle. The track has been completed seven miles east of Anderson, and at this point the spike driving was resumed this afternoon after months of idleness. There is less than a mile of grading to do, and within two weeks a train will be run to Muncie. The shops will be moved ficm Lebanon, and the general offices from Anderson to Muncie, the line extending from Muncie to the Brazil coal fields. St. Lonls and the Golf. J. A. McDuffle, of New York, Is In Mobile completing arrangements for the establishment of a line of steamships between that point and New York. An agreement has been signed with the Mobile & Ohio Railtoad calling for at least a weekly service, lhia will open up a new water route between St. Louis and the Atlantic seaboard, which will become an important factor in the freight rate question, as the Mobile & Ohio is the shortest all-rail route between St. Louis and the gulf. Lively tlme3 are looked for when the new line begins business, which will be some time between the 1st and 15th of September. Coke Instead of Coal as Fuel. It has been decided to stop the use of coal as fuel on the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad and to substitute coke for It on all locomotives. Experiments with coke have been tried for a year. They have proved that it is the cheaper fuel, lasts almost as long as bituminous coal, and has other advantages over it. For the Boston & Albany a year's supply of coke has been ordered, and it is said there is a likelihood of this fuel being adopted by all of the New England railroads. Denial by the Rock Island. The report that the Rock Island road would absorb -the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and St. Louis Southwestern was positively denied by Rock Island officials yesterday. The rumor that the Rock Island was negotiating for control of the St. Louis & San r'rancisco is also denied. General Notes. Detroit business men claim the Michigan roads are discriminating in favor of Toledo In freight rates. C. W. Pitts, traveling passenger agent of the Great Northern, with headquarters in Chicago, is In the city. Charles W. Price has been made general superintendent of the Allegheny Valley, In place of David McCargo, resigned. The Panhandle is doing more business In shipping Southern fruits from all terminal points than at any time In Its history. Colonel W. M. Shaw, district passenger agent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, at Cincinnati, was in the city yesterday on business. The C. IL & D. has put Into service between Cincinnati. Toledo and Detroit two of the finest sleepers ever put into service in the West. The Northern Pacific gross earnings for the second week of July show an Increase of 1114.086, and for two weeks of July an increase of 5194.054. Mr. A. H. Waggener, traveling passenger agent of the Chicago & Northwestern, with headquarters in Indianapolis, will on Aug. 1 be transferred to Chicago. General Superintendent Van Winkle, rt the Big Four, and the minor officers of that company will return from the bi-monthly meeting at Put-in Bay this morning. The Burlington is to build a branch from Hill City to Keystone, the location of the Holy Terror gold mine, said to be the liveliest camp in the southern Black Hills country. The Columbus. Lima & Milwaukee has made arrangements with the Detroit & Lima Northern to use its tracks from Lima to Peoria, O.. whence it will use the Ohio Central tracks to Columbus. H. R. Moore, general freight agent of the Cleveland, Canton & Southern, has resigned to accept the position of traffic manager of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, with headquarters at Chicago. The Chicago & Alton Railroad, in connection with the Union Pacific Railway, has been named the official route of the HooHoos to Denver, Col., Sept. 5. Rate, one fare plus 52 for the round trip. The contract for the building of the new shops of the Big Four at Mount Carmel, III., calls for their completion in ninety days. The shops will have a capacity for the repair of about six locomotives and from four hundred to five hundred cars per month. The gross earnings of the Louisville & Nashville for the month of June were the largest in the history of the road, and if business keeps up for the remainder of the month as well as it has done for the first three weeks, the July earnings will exceed those of June. General Manager Waldo, of the C, H. & D., says the elevator of that company recently burned at Toledo was fully insured, yet it will cost considerably more than the insurance to replacfe the building, owing to the advance In all classes of building material. The management of the New York Central is putting Its trainmen through a rigid examination in the matter of strength and accuracy of sight. No matter how long and faithful the service rendered, an inability to quickly distinguish colors at a distance will secure a black mark for the employe. Aldace I. Walker, of New York, chairman of the board of directors of the Santa Fe system, has arrived at San Francisco, accompanied by Mrs. Walker and their daughters. Yesterday they departed for Honolulu on a three months' pleasure trip to enjoy the first vacation he has taken in three years. The Big Four is contemplating a number of Improvements in the arrangements for handling Its business at Muncie. The business men of Muncie have been asking for these for some time, and Mr. Ingalls has at last taken the matter up. The plans include the enlargement of the passenger station, the construction of a new freight depot and ample bulk freight yards. The laws of .Texas require that the receiver of a railroad shall reside within the State, but tho receiver of the Kansas, PitUburg & Gulf has removed his office to Kansas City, and it is semi-officlally announced that the Texas authorities will take r.o notice of the removal, as the attorney general does not care to become Involved in a controversy with the general government. It Is rumored that the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg and Philadelphia & Reading are to be connected by a line to be built from Wllllamsport to Clearfield, and that a favorable traffic arrangement will be made. Such a line would give the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg and Pittsburg & Western an eastern outlet and would form another trunk line from Pittsburg to the eastern seaboard. Theodore N. Ely, chief of motive pow-ar of the Pennsylvania Railroad, says the company will make no Individual exhibit at the Paris exposition next year. He says they have made such exhibits in past years and find the cost far beyond any benefit derived. The company has been asked by Commissioner General Peck to make a special exhibit in the engineering sections and may do so. S. R. Bullock, who represents Eastern capitalists, and has purchased various lighting plants at Fremont and Fostoria, O., has completed a deal whereby he gets the White Line and the Sandusky, Milan & Norwalk electric roads. The price paid Is JIjO.OOO. The roads will be combined and operated as the Sandusky, Milan & Norwalk Traction Company, for which a franchise has been asked of the Secretary of State. The Pittsburg Post says: The Pittsburg & Western is now moving as much freight as the Fort Wayne. This Is remarkable considering the fact that the P. & W. is a new road and onl ten years ago it was a single track line with no Western connections. Two-thirds of the through freight of the B. A. O. between Pittsburg. Cleveland and Chicago is now passing over this road, and the ore business from F&lrport harbor Is tremendous,

STOCK PRICES FELL OFF

EARLY STRENGTH "WAS DISSIPATED LATE IN THE SESSION. Dullish News) Pretty Thoroughly Denied and There Was a nosh to Unload Local Trade Active. At New York, yesterday, money on call was 3UtM per cent.; last loan, ZVz per cent. Prime mercantile paper, ZMQlVi per cent. Sterling exchange was heavy, with actual business In bankers' bills at 5U744.8?H for demand and at 5181'94.S4Vi for sixty days; posted rates, J4.S5 and $4.86; commercial bills, J4.S34.83U. Silver certificates, 605Clc; bar silver, 60Uc; Mexican dollars, 4Sc. At London bar silver closed quiet, at 27 11-lCd an ounce. Thero was not much change In the character of Hie trading In securities yesterday. Ther -as a period when the market made some show of strength. In sympathy with an upward movement in a group of individual stocks, but a violent slump in American Malting wa. sufficient to put an end to the rise and wipe out pretty much all of the previous fain. General Electric rose 1H on the opening quotation, Pennsylvania showed signs of strength early and there was a conspicuous absorption of Rock Island, which was attributed to the operation of a pool. Buying from the same source was supposed to account for the advance of In People's Gas and for the vigorous upward movement in the Gould Southwest stocks. The t. Louis Southwestern Issues were the most conspicuous as to activity, the preferred rising 1. Kansas & Texas common advanced nearly a point, the preferred about 2 points and Wabash preferred Hi. At the same time Chicago & Eastern Illinois Jumped 3 points. Wall street's explanation was that the St. Louis Southwestern was to be acquired by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the combined properties then absorbed by tne Hock Island. President Edwin Gould authorized a denial that he c.ontemplated selling his holdings in St. Louis Southwestern. Utterances to the same purport by Rock Island officials were published. About the same time came disclaimers from the Ogden Gas Company interests that they contemplated selling out to People's Gas, and People'3 Gas l03t practically all of its gain. There was a violent break of 8U in American Malting Dreferred and 2 in the common, which completed the unsettling of tho market. Prices drifted away to the lowest of the day and were not much affected by a spurt m the late dealings in Lake Erie &. Western, which rose on the common 1 and in the preferred 3 points. American Car preferred was also marked up New York Central was decidedly heavy all day and lost over a point net. St. Paul, Minneapolis & Sault Ste. Marie common was conspicuous for a rise of 14. and the preferred advanced a point. The money market was inclined to firmness and there was some calling cf loans, which necessitated a shifting, though no great difficulty was found in securing accommodation. Much doubt is still felt as to the extent of the demands which will be made on" New York to move the crops. Discounts in London were further advanced and tho Bank of England continued to buy gold in the open market, besides receiving consignments from Germany. Sterling exchange in New York responded with a fractional decline. The Southwestern railroad mortgages showed some strength, in sympathy with stocks, but otherwise bonds were dull and rather heavy. Total sales, par value, 5-.623.000. United States threes, coupon, declined U, but the new fours, registered, advanced M, and the old fours, registered, i in the bid price.

Despite the warm weather, wholesale dealers in all lines confess to the existence of a gratifying volume of business. There has never been a season within the memory of the oldest house on the street when trade has continued for so long a period to give satisfaction, both in volume and conditions generally. There has been a sharp falling off In receipts of both wheat and corn, due not so much to the lower prices as to the fact that tnere is no longer storage room available, the elevators being full. There was no change In Quotations for wheat or corn yesterday, but oats went off c.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the wool trade: "The wool market continues strong and there is still a good volume of business in progress. Manufacturers, however, have not purchased during the past week quite as freely as previously, although the transactions of the week aggregate more than an average week's business, amounting to over seven million pounds. One feature in the situation is the fact that the buying is now almost wholly for consumption, speculation being less of a factor in the trade than for several weeks. The larger portion of the business done during the past week has been In Territory wool, as usual, although there waa a good demand for fine Australian wool, but, as has been ' previously observed, the market is pretty well cleaned up of this class of wool." The sales of the week at Boston amounted to 6,549,000 pounds domestic and 722,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 7.271.000, against a total of 10,164,800 for the previous week, and a total of 4,875,000 for the corresponding .week last year. Sales since Jan. 1, 1899, amounted to 157,047,000 pounds, against 65,993,810 pounds last year at this time. ST. LOUIS. July 28. Wool Best grades active and firm; others slow. Prices unchanged.

CROP DAMAGE EXPECTED

CHICAGO TRADERS HELD ALOOP FROM THE WHEAT 3IARKET. The Lead in sr Cereal Gradually Advanced a Half Cent Corn Higher Provisions Scored Losses. CHICAGO, July 26. Apprehension of damage by the hot, dry weather prevailing throughout the country strengthened wheat and corn to-day. September wheat closed with a gain of UQHc and corn ic. Oats closed unchanged. Provisions suffered from liquidation. Tork lost 12H1?lSc. lard 5 7c and ribs Ic. Wheat started strong at TlsC and gradually rose to TlSic, an advance of He over yesterday's close. The strengthening influences were strong Liverpool cables, continued light receipts and unfavorable crop advices from the Northwest, where hot winds were said to have inflicted a good deal of Injury on growing wheat. After the first buying rush was over, however, the trade became dull and September sagged back to ilVic. The decline was helped by weakness at Paris and the alleged splendid outlook or the French crop. While reports of damage to spring wheat were very numerous, yet there were enough promising a good crop In the aggregate to make traders cautious. The lack of Inquiry for cash wheat was another reason for the majority of traders electing to await further developments. The range amounted to only 4c during the entire session, with the trade of a professional character and nine-tenths of it of a local character. September closed at 71Hc. Chicago received 121 cars, 8 of which graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 3S5, compared with 476 the corresponding day of last week and 113 a year ago. The aggregate at Western primary markets was 779,000 bu, against 1,000,000 last week and 605.000 bu last year. Exports of wheat and flour from Atlantic ports equaled 226,000 bushels. Reports of possible damages from heat and lack of rain strengthened corn. Receipts, 608 cars. Primary receipts were large and clearances rather light. September opened a shade higher at 3?c, sold sparingly at 32c and advanced to 33c at the close. A good demand from shorts caused a rally In oats early, but this was all lost on later profit-taking. Receipts, 215 cars. September opened a shade lower at 19Vc. advanced to 1&19c and closed at 1919bC. Large receipts of hoss and lower prices at the yards weakened provisions. Selling: on stop loss orders waa again a feature. On the break packers took hold freely and Sart of the decline was recovered. Septemer pork opened from 10c to 15c lower at 28.758.80, declined to 2S.65, advanced to 8.82Va and closed at J8.75f S.77. September lard opened 5c lower at $o.355.37Vz. rose to 25.40 and declined to $5.35 at the close. September ribs opened 2H5c lower at 25.10 5.12. sold, at 25.1265.15 and closed at $5.07.

The difference for over a week has not exceeded 5 per cent, on any kind and reached tha highest point Tuesday, when ail of the offerings sold at J4.SOft4.S5, largely W-Ki, the light grades and pigs selling as a rule for the most money. Shippers of fresh cows and springers should be more careful about handling this kind of stock at this season of the year by taking them off grass, for at least. two to three days before shipping and putting them on dry feed, thereby clearing their system of tbe green food and grass and save many arcow from having the staggers, which Is the result of shipping direct from the pasture during hot weather. Prices of hogs are-fully 75 cents higher than a year ago at this time, $4.80(14.85 against for heavy and $4.1034.15 tor light grades. Yearling lambs are also much higher at J3.ZVg5.50, against $1.654.85 last year. Spring lambs were 4.50$ last year, against JOG S.40 this year for common to best. Elsewhere. CHICAGO. July 26.
