AS TO CONSOLIDATIONS REPEATED DEXIALS FAIL TO CARRY COMPLETE CONVICTION. The Modern Tendeney Is to Combine in at Few Larxe Systems, and Thla Seem to Be the Effort. Despite all denials of prominent railroad inen the air Is still thick with rumors of coming consolidations for the formation of transcontinental lines. There has been free talk about the formation of not less than four of such lines. In which the Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Atchison and the Southern Pacific form, respectively, the vrestern termini. As fast as mentioned all these consolldat'on stories are denied; but It must not be forgotten that railroad men are capable of Riving the, ablest statesmen of Europe or America points In diplomacy, a science which, to the layman, wems to depend chlfly on hiding from night your own views and purposes while learning all you possibly can about your neighbor. It Is rare that rumors of coming events, when set afloat, are persisted In for weeks and repeated over and over again, unless there Is pretty good ground for the report to stand upon. True, a prominent railroad man, if hose Judgment In a matter of business would be readily taken, a few days ago declared that transcontinental consolidations were impracticable, undesirable and would prove unprofitable If attempted though he did not condescend to give any clear reason for assuming that ground. v On the other hand, the layman can see many reasons that would seem to warrant the formation of such through lines from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific. Certainly a large urn would be saved In salaries of extra officials; there would be no quarreling over prorating of earnings; there would be perfect harmony In operating the line from ocean- to ocean, .a thing now quite Impossible. If there could be brought about the consolidation of cross-country roads in such a manner as to form, say, four transcontinental lines, not only could they be operated more economically than at present, but ft seems as though it could be possible to bring about an understanding between so limited a number of managers that would make rate-cutting a thing of the past. C. P. Huntington was not long since quoted as saying that the only practicable solution of the railroad problem In this country was the consolidation of properties under three or four managements In as many systems. In no other way, said the veteran, could railway properties be operated at a profit. There Is something radically defective in the present method if only It could be discovered. A few lines are operated at a profit, many more manage to pay the Interest on their bonds and so keep out of receivers hands, while the stockholders look upon their holdings as so much rubbish, and till others are running behind year by year. And this while from many quarters come complaints of oppressive charges by small shippers, though It is well known rates have been cut down to so low a figure that to many it is a mystery how the roads can haul freights at the figures charged anv pay the actual cost of handling, to say nothing of interest or dividends. Most people who ard not In the railroad business will agree with Mr. Huntington, and when a union of lines to form the first transcontinental is authoritatively announced, they will not be in any degree surprised. Shippers will greet such consolidations with approval, since they will Insure stability of rates. There- is nothings that could bring them so much satisfaction as this. Courts Can Ran Railroad. John K. Cowen. president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, addressed the convention of the Maryland Bar Association at Ocean City, Md., yesterday, on the Baltimore & Ohio receivership. Mr. Cowen reviewed the receivership from beginning, and said the results showed there has been evolved a method in American Jurisprudence whereby the courts can take a great property whose administration ia jull of difficulty and can so rehabilitate it that substantial Justice may be done to bondholders, floating debt creditors and stockholders: that this can be done without violating any of the well defined rights of any credtlor and that it la the duty of the courts, in administering these great trusts, to place the property in the position where Its possible earning capacity can be shown correctly and a fair and Just reorganization can be made. S 13,000 Terminal Scheme. Treasurer Charles E. Adams, of the East Boston Land Co., yesterday stated that negotiations were pending whereby Northwestern capitalists hope to acquire large docking properties in East Boston, to be used. It is understood, in handling grain. Treasurer Adams said the deal had to do with enlarging terminal facilities In connection with the railroads. It is claimed there are grounds for blievin;r the report which comes from the West that Investors who row control the grain-shipping business at Detroit. Duluth. Buffalo and Chicago will establish a large plant for handling grain .there, having a capital of $13.0u0.ooo to $20.OW.000 to expend In such an undertaking. It is expected that the transaction will be closed within sixty days. To Parallel the D. A O. 9. V. The articles of incorporation of the St. JJuis, Springfield & Vincennes Railroad Company, a certificate to which was isued yesterday by the secretary of state of Illinois, say that it is intended to construct and operate a railroad from Vincennes, Ind.. to St. Louis and from Shawneetown. 111., to Briringfleld. 111. The contemplated line parallels the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, and It was thought at first that the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern was incorporating under another name, but Frank W. Tracy, former president of the road and still a director, stated last night that the new line was not the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, and that this was the first he had heard of the new company. K- C- P. A G. Certificate Sold. The JSOO.OOO worth of certificates Issued recently by the receivers of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad and authorized by the United States Court were sold' yesterday to the New York reorganisation committee of that road. The certificates were sold at par and will draw 4 per cent. Interest. The fact that the New York committee has secured the certificates is considered a victory for It over the Philadelphia, reorganization committee. The deal was closed by Webster Withers, one of the receivers of the road, and the First National Ban or Kansas City, representing the purchasers. The Terre Haatr Station. The formal opening of the new Big Four depot at Terre Haute took place last evening. CoL E. E. South, general agent, had charge of the dedication. Colonel McLean nenvereo: a snort address and the RfnrrnM id lurniahed the nujic Th division of-

fleers. Supt. W. E. Bayley. Engineer of Maintenance of Way W. M. Duane and Trainmaster Richard Doyle, were in attendance. Souvenirs were distribute to all the visitors. The new dpot is a o.i'.-story brick arul white stone building, with a large tower at one end.

General otes. President Robinson, of the St. Louis & Fan Francisco, is enjoying a vacation in Wisconsin. The latest Chicago rumor credits the Illinois Central with a purpose to absorb the Peoria. Decatur & Evansvtlle. The Illinois Central's yards at New Orleans will be three miles long and half a mile wide. They are located at a right angle to Instead of parallel with the main track. It is reported that Georg T. Bell, assistant general passenger agent of the Grand Trunk at Montreal. Is to take charge of the east-bound passenger business of the road from Chicago. The Wagner Palace Car Company is carrying 1m) men on its pay roll at East Buffalo, working full time to get out a large number of orders. A year ago the shops employed less than 500 men. The connection between the St. Louis Southwestern (or Cotton Belt) and the Eastern Illinois will he established in about thirty days. This will give the former an outlet via Chicago and the latter a direct outlet to Texas. There is to be a grand union picnic of all the railroad orders, including the engineers, firemen, trainmen, conductors and telegraphers at Connellsvllle, Pa., on the 15th and 20th of next month. The first day will be devoted to pleasure the second to business. The June statement of the St. Louis & San Francisco shows; Gross earnings, $5Sfl.785.1.": net. J2t2.S07.6S. Compared with the previous year's business this shows a gain of $0.5.6 gross and tf3.423.50 net. There were 1.22.13 miles operated la3t year and 1.SS3.K9 this. The officials of the Fort Worth & Denver City Railway are considering a project to haul the freight of the Santa Fe over their line from Trinidad to Forth Worth, where it would again take the tracks of the Santa Fe. The present haul of such freight, via Newton, Kan., is 300 miles longer. The Birmingham & Atlantic Railway, forty-three miles long, the Talladega blast furnace, 8.O1O acres of ore land, 5,000 acres of coal land, with equipment for turning out 1.409 tons per day, have been sold to Eugene Simmerman, vice president of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railway. William II. S. Wright, who has been purchasing agent of the Omaha since the road began operations in 1.V0, has resigned to become Northwestern sales agent of the Illinois Steel Company. He will be succeeded In his former position by Isaac Seddon, who was his chief clerk from the beginning. A passenger train of the Erie, running between Akron and Youngstown, O., a few days ago, met a freight train, moving in the opposite direction, and as they passed the door of a box car swung loose raking the coaches of the passenger train and breaking all the windows, but. luckily, doing no serious hurt to passengers or property. The Chicago & Northwestern has opened a branch from Donlson. Ia., up Boyer river valley to Wall lake. Thft same road is constructing other branch lines, as follows: From Mondamln. Ia.. up Soldier river valley to Wall lake: from Sanborn. Minn., southeasterly to Burt, Ia., and a fourth from Mankato up the Minnesota river valley to New Ulm. The Illinois Central has contracted with the American Car and Foundry Company for 250 cars of ninety thousand pounds capacity. The Delaware & Hudson has Just closed a contract with the same company for 2x10 cars of ninety-thousand pounds capacity. The sight of a train of cars of this capacity would cause an old-time trainman to think he wasdreamlng. The question of how to deal with clergymen's permits in a way to prevent abuse of the privilege accorded to travelers of this class has not yet been settled. It Is possible that at some time, not very distant, the managers of passenger traffic may arrive at the conclusion that the whole matter is an abuse and that the reason no longer exists for granting reduced rates to any class of people. The Santa Fe tried an oil sprinkler on its sandy roadbed from Los Angeles to Redondo Beach, Cal.. seventeen miles, and found that it worked very satisfactorily. Before the cost of keeping up the good work could be determined, however, the Dustless Roadbed Company, which owns the patent on an old sprinkler, served notice on the road that the machine was an Infringement, and the Santa Fe stopped work. George W. Boyd, for years assistant passenger agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, has Joined the forces of the Southern Railway Company as manager of passenger transportation, air. Boyd, whose home was formerly in this city, took service with the Pennsylvania nearly twenty-five years ago, when his brother was general passenger agent of the company. No person connected with the Pennsylvania was more widely known than he and none more popular. A movement is on foot to form an association of general managers of roads entering St. Louis. The objects of the association will be to discuss all affairs in which the roads are Jointly interested, so that a uniformity of action can be reached. Such matters as subscriptions, settlement of controversies with corporations or individuals and mutual arrangements to facilitate business could also be discussed. A committee has been appointed to prepare a plan and draft by-laws for the St. Louis association. LAxn.?tlceLhas been Pasted In the Baltimore & Ohio shops at Garrett, Ind., forbidding any employe of the company to be a candidate for or to hold any public office of any character. Candidacy for or acceptance of any office will work the discharge of the offender. To some patriots this would seem worse than a war upon organized labor. There are several employes of the company now holding office, including three seats in the City Council, the city clerkship and one membership in the School Board. All these will have to resign or leave the employ of the company. There are no less than seven projects mooted for tunneling the North river to facilitate railroad connections with New York city. They are the Hudson River Tunnel Company (Morton street and Jersey City): Manhattan Tunnel Railway (Chambers street and Wet Broadway to Jersey City): Manhattan and Jersey City Tunnel Company (no termini selected): New York and Long Island Terminal Company (Flatbushavenue station. Brooklyn, to Cortlandt street); New York and Brooklyn Railway Company (no terminals designated): and a seventh represented by Edward Lauterbach. and about which little is known With the exception of the project of the New lork and Long Island Company, none of these enterprises promise to show early refiU 1 13 VITAL STATISTICS JULY 27.

QUICK RALLY IN STOCKS

Silver certificates, 60R8lc; bar nilver, COc; Mexican dollars, 4Sc. At London bar silver closed quiet at 27 11-1M an ounce. The New York stock market continued narrow and professional yesterday until the last hour, when there developed more animation and strength than had been noted for many days past. The late movement peemed to start with strength simultaneously displayed by Lake Erie & Western, Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis and Pittsburg & Western preferred. These stocks gained from 1 for Lake Erie & Western to four points for Pittsburg. Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. The marking up of Sugar an extreme and the rise in New York Central to 140 helped on the movement and the general market arose above Wednesday night's level. Quite an active demand sprang up for the grangers and lifted Burlington over a point. The activity of the market did not become general, however, and gains were not at all uniform. The traders were bearish in the early part of the day, but finding that prices tesisted pressure, they turned to the long lde, encouraged by the strength of special stocks. The movement In Rock Island and the Southwestern stocks showed some diminution under profit-taking, but Kansas & Texas preferred retained Its strength and advanced over a point. Sugar also showed an advancing tendency from the first and Louisville & Nashville, which sold ex. dividend of 2 per cent., regained 1H of that amount. There was a midday adVance in the Tobacco stocks, which helped on the upward movement, Continental common rising 1; the preferred and American Tobacco a point. The malting stocks recovered smartly from Wednesday's prices and Laclede Qas Jumped 3V4 points. The developments in the money market begot Increased confidence. Yesterday and Wednesday there have been large loans made on time In the Stock Exchange, from which it Is argued that operators feel the possibility of a demand for money that may stiffen call rates and desire time loans on securities they are trying to hold for a long pull. The fact that the Bank of England did not increase its discount rate served to lessen anxiety on the money question and the weekly exhibit of that Institution showed the open market had been able to reduce Its loan obligations to the bank very heavily. The sharp fall in French rentes and reports of a political crisis In that country were without much effect in New York. The money situation was somewhat relieved by the transfer of funds from the subtreasury to the banks on the payment for the new custom house site In New York and it became known that the government had ceased for the time being its weekly withdrawal of deposits from the New York banks, which have been at the rate of $1,000,000 a week for come time past. The Juno statement of earnings completing the fiscal year for a number of roads were favorable factors, especially that of St. Paul, showing an increase In the net for the year of $1,379,693. The bond market did not show much response to the strength In stocks and fractional declines were the rule. Total eales, par value, $1,610,000.

The monotony of the last two weeks In local trade circles continues, but as It is a monotony of considerable activity no complaints are forthcoming. In every line business is fairly good mora than usually so at this season of the yearand the tone is strong. Except In a few items in country produce, quotations hold steady, with an upward tendency In most lines. The local elevators being full of wheat, no bids for track stuff are made.

BETTER CROP WEATHER

BI LLS TOOK THE ni.NT EARLY AND HELPED SEND WHEAT DOWN. Coarse Grain Weaker In Sympathy with the Leader, and All Mar Lets Scored Declines. CHICAGO. July N 27. Improved weather tor the crops caused the downfall of the grain markets to-day. Wheat dropped a cent and the market closed weak at Tac for the September option. Corn lost ic, and oats c. Provisions recovered from a spell of weakness and closed without material change. Cooler weather in. the Northwest and lower cables started wheat on a downward course at the opening, and with the exception of Uc rally from the bottom near the close on buying against puts, the market ruled exceedingly weak throughout. A poor cash demand and Increased domestic receipts also contributed to the decline. September opened "kSc lower, at 70Tst?71c, sold sparingly at 71c, declined to 7O8S"0,,xC, and closed with buyers at 705ic Chicago received $6 cars, two of which graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 3S2, compared against 91 for the same day last year. Primary market receipts aggregated 872,000 bushels, against &49.O00 a year ago. Export clearances from Atlantic ports were equal In wheat and flour to 410.000 bushels. Heavy rains throughout the West, where claims of danu.ge by drought have been numerous, weakened corn. There was a selling rush at the outset, and only occasionally when some shor would endeavor to cover did the market show any degree of steadiness. Export demand was good, but any effect this might have had was counteracted by enormous primary Western market receipts. Receipts here were 610 cars. September opened itfiic lower, at 31H32c, sold sparingly at 22c, declined to 3114c and closed at Zlc. The December option closed with a loss of lMc Liquidation Induced by favorable harvesting weather, liberal receipts and the decline in wheat and corn weakened oats., Receipts were 3G5 cars, of which 172 were new. September opened He lower, at 19U19c, advanced to declined to l&Uc, and closed at 19Vigl99sC Higher prices for hogs and buying by packers sustained provisions. There was a dip early In sympathy with the weakness In grains, but this -was all recovered near the end of the session. September pork opened a shade higher at $3.774, declined to $8.63. and advanced to SS.75 at the close. September lard opened a shade higher at 15.35 (S5.37H, sold at So.37Vk declined to SS.33 5.32H. and closed at $5.35. Ribs were dull within a narrow range.
