BEATING THE RAILWAYS TEAR'S DISCREPANCIES AS REVEALED BY INSPECTION BUREAU. . A .IJadsre to Supplant Cap of Postal Railway Clerk The Chenapeake & Ohio Declares) Dividend. Paul Itainer, chief of the weighing and Inspection bureaus of the roads In the Central Traffic Association, has issued his annual report for the year ending June 3D, and it shows that through the operations of the several bureaus discrepancies amounting in revenue to the roads of $1,770,711.06 have been detected. The corrections Include those on account of -weight, classification and rates. The total Increase in revenue was as given above. The corrections on account of wrong classification and rate amounted to $533,118.96. The cost of maintaining the bureau was $207,363.09, leaving the net actual gain to the railroads through the operation of the bureau, $1,564,143.35. Included In the Increase in weight was 95,351,730 pounds on platform freight that had been billed under weight. The additional revenue secured at Terra Hauta through the operation of the bureau amounted to $107,456.30; at Indianapolis It was $103,583.62; at East St. Louis, $107,397.10-. at Cincinnati, $163,04L96 and at Chicago. $307,043.15. nttsburg shippers were short In the weights they gave to the extent of 54,667.515 pounds, and this, with discrepancies in classification and rates, through their detection, yielded to the railroads an additional revenue of $92,GC0.33. There were several other points where the Inspectors secured for the railroads a greater increase in revenue because of short weights and the other methods of getting ahead of the railroads. The Inspection at Bay City and Saginaw, MJch., combined," detected a weight shortage of 247.133,303 pounds and secured an increase in revenue of $206,093.21. The inspectors are not at all shipping points, and when they are at one of these points a good many cars are handled that are not supposed to be carrying greater weight than the bill of lading shows, while there really is an excess In weight that the shipper is not paying for in a great many cases. The inspectors only .watch for the cars for which short weight has been apparently marked on the bills of lading. They also watch the consignments of some shippers who have the hort-weight nablt. These cars are ordered weighed, and frequently the excess is dls.a at L j.-v r a. liri. . i ... l. covereu to te vj anu w yer rem. uaicver ii la. the correct weight Is ordered placed on the bill of lading and must be paid for by the shippers. July Traillc. The Western lines delivered at the Indianapolis stock yards in July 140,091 hogs, 11,000 head of cattle, 10,&i head of sheep, and 9S4 horses. The first seven months of vthe year the same lines delivered 917,525 hogs, 63,359 head of cattle, 34,601 head of sheep and 17,206 torses. The shipments of July over Eastern and Southern lines were 67.633 head of hogs, 3.961 head of cattle, 7.535 head of sheep and 893 horses; for the seven months the shipments were 415,249 hogs, 20,874 head of cattle, 21,255 sheep and 15.279 horses. The most remarkable feature of the traffic statement is the increase in deliveries of Belt road engines at the local packing houses, the deliveries of hogs for July being 72.452: cattle, 7.047; sheep, 3,382; for the seven months, hogs. 502.276, against 477,C53, with corresponding seven months of an Increase this year of 24.823; cattle, 47.3S5. against 44,044 In 138, an Increase this year of 3,941; sheep, 13,376, against 13,128 in an Increase this year of 24S. ; .Scheme to Save Money. Western passenger managers are agitating a concentration scheme, which, they say, will annually result in a saving to the vvestem railroads or more than S2j0,0Q0 in operating expenses, and a large amount of money and trouble by preventing the demoralization of rates. This scheme calls for the establishment of a common bureau, through which all interline business is to be conducted, similar to the Immigration bureau, which has proved to be one of the most valuable departments of the Western 2'assenger Association's system. The idea is to have a competent passenger man placed at the head ot such a bureau, through whom all foreign business of the connecting lines in the territory of the Western passenger agent should be conducted. It is believed the scheme could be worked satisfactorily in trunk lines. New England, Southern and central territories. Personal, Local and General Notes. F. E. Learnard has been appointed assistant traffic manager of the Elgin, Jollet & Eastern. . . . The advance In pay asked by the locomotive engineers of the Lake Shore road ranged from 4 to S per cent. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton yesterday took out of Indianapolis on its Atlantic City excursion fifty-two people. President Ifarrlman. of the Chicago & Alton, who has been In Alaska for two months, returned home on Wednesday; On Aug. 1 the passenger officials of the New York Central located at Buffalo moved into handsome offices at 219 Main street. L. A. Kolb. traveling freight agent of the Chicago & Rock Island, has been appointed commercial agent of the company at Pittsburg. In the month of July there were carried on the Big Four lines 633,556 passengers, against 5J.1G3 In July, 1893, an increase this year of 77,323. F. C. Darlow, general agent of V. T. Malott. receiver of the Vandalia lines, left list evening for Lake Maxlnkuckce for a lew days' rest. In the month of July there were handled at the city freight depots of the Pennsylvania lines 3.62 carloa!s of freight, a ton nage Of 3o.130.W7 pounds. M. E. Ingalls. president of the Biff Four lines, is expected home from the East to day. Alter a few days stay he will go to me uaine coast to visit relatives. The preferred stock of the Cincinnati. .Hamilton & Dayton la selling above par. and It is stated that the earnings -in July ere equivalent to D per cent, on the com don. . ' In the month of Julv there were trans ferred over the Belt road S2.84S cars, the largest number of any month, with two ex ceptions, since the Belt was built,' twentyiwu years ago. ; John P. Magill. who has been divLdon Xreisrht agent of the Pittsburg & Western i Youngstown, O., has been appointed commercial freight agent of the Baltimroe & Ohio at the same point. Boston capital Ij investtrif In Chicago & Eastern Illinois stock and securities to an . extent never before known, although for years this road has been a favorite with England capitalists. The Great Northern will discharge all Its section hands who are Japanese within tho text tlxty days and employ In their place Americans. Incompetency is given as the reason by the company officials. In tidltlon to 4.000 freight cars, the Baltltaert ce Ohio Southwestern has purchased two new postal cars, sixty feet In lengtX

four slxty-flve-fcot baggage cars, five sixtyfoot combination baggage and coaches, three fcixty-foot first-class coached with wide vestibules and modern in every reject and two combination parlor, dining and observation cars each sixty-seven feet in length. P. Gray, soliciting agent of the Union line at Columbus. O., and son of D. S.

Passenger Traffic Manager Edwards, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, and General Passenger Agent Reed, of the Monon lines, have issued a Joint official circular appointing R. P. Algeo district passenger agent at Indianapolis. The Southern Railway Company has purchased the ' hub track" at Louisville, which has been called the key to the transportation of freight in that city. The Southern has an understanding by which the Louisville & Nashville uses it jointly. John Jennings has been appointed master mechanic of the Lackawana shops at Buffalo and F. W. Williams master mechanic of tho shops of the Oswego and Syracuse divisions. The retiring master mechanics have long held the prwltions they vacate.

W. G. Martin, acting general passenger agent of the Iowa Central, has tendered his resignation and rumor has it that L. M. Martin, general manager of the road, will retire on account of disagreements with New York officials of the Iowa Central. In response to representations submitted by the Lehigh Valley engineers the superintendent" has Issued a notice establishing i rates of pay satisfactory to the engineers, and stating that no man will be discharged or suspended without a fair hearing and investigation. There Is excellent authority for the statement that the Southern Railway has perfected arrangements by which It will get lr.to New Orleans over the New Orleans & Northeastern and will expend a large eum of money at that city in constructing terminal facilities. Atlanta's depot problem has been brought to a head by the state railroad commission, which has ordered every road entering Atlanta to file plans within thirty days for a new passenger station. The roads have thus far failed to agree or submit propositions, to the railroad commissioners. The directors of the Chesapeake & Ohio have declared a dividend of 1 per cent., the first dividend In the road's history, and It is expected the road will now become a 4 per cent, dividend payer. The manner in which President Ingalls has developed this property is a matter of much favorable comment in Eastern financial circles. Russell Elliott, former auditor of the Indianapolis & St. Louis, who went to Phila delphia to have a supposed cancer in his throat removed, has returned to his home In Missouri a sound man. The supposed cancer proved only a tumor, which was removed without much trouble. He has recently become quite wealthy through mining operations in Missouri. The Peoria & Eastern has purchased from the Big Four three of its parlor cars and will convert them into combined parlor and dining cars, to be run on Trains 11 and 18.

Hickey as road foreman of engines, with Jurisdiction cyer the Cleveland, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Sacdusky divisions, with headquarters at Indianapolis. J. T. Malone la made road foreman of engines of the Chicago, St. Louis and Cairo divisions, with headquarters . at Indianapolis. J. R. Watson general passenger agent of the Fltchburg road, who retired on Aug. 1, has been succeeded by C. Burt, well known in Western passenger circles. For some years past he has been with George Blarchard, commissioner of the trunk lines, as his chief clerk. He is a competent passenger man, having received his education under George W. Boyd, of the Pennsylvania lines, and later under Leslie Farmer, at one time general passenger agent of the Erie. . General Manager Ramsey, of the Wabash, yesterday issued an order appointing Alex. Robertson as acting superintendent of the middle division of the Wabash Railroad, with headquarters at Decatur, 111., vice Superintendent W. A. Garrett, who becomes superintendent of the Reading division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, with headquarters in Philadelphia. Mr. Robertson has been trainmaster of the Thirteenth district of the Wabash, with headquarters in Decatur. ,Tbe appointment of Wilbur Lee, a Western man, as general passenger agent of the Delaware, Lackawana & Western meets with favor among the passenger fraternity of the East. When general passenger agent or tne Jake lvrie & western he ranked among tho most aggressive and popular ui.i-.uii3 in una becuun. iur. j-.ee nas already planned to make Lake HoDatcong. forty-two miles from New York, a popular pleasure resort ana win give New Yorkers fast service. There is another rupture between the Detroit & Lima Northern and the Ohio South ern Railroads which Has resulted in the latter giving the former notice that after Sept. 30 it must discontinue the use of the Southern tracks between Lima. O., and the St. Johns connection, and it will be com pelled to abandon the line entirely or build tracks of its own. The order to vacate is the result of a traffic arrangement between the Ohio Southern and the Columbus, Lima & Milwaukee, now building toward Lima. Within a short time a handsome official badge will supplant the heavy cap now worn by the clerks In the postal railway service; In fact on some of the Eastern lines it In already adopted. The badge is of gold or silver and worn on the outside garment over tne lert breast. The change is welcomed by the postal clerks, since the heavy caps they are required to wear are sources of discomfort. The badge, while Indicating auinoruy. win not interrere wun the comfort of the men. The government furnishes the badge, but the clerks will be obliged to pay, should one be lost, to secure another.

SLUMPY STOCK MARKET

PROFESSIONALS I CONTROL AND THE SHARE LIST INACTIVE. Rumored Decline In Tig Iron Abroad and Orders Sent from This SideLocal Markets Dull. At New York, yesterday, moiey on call was steady at 24 per cent.; last loan, 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4544 per cent. Sterling exchange was heavy, with actual business in bankers bills at $4.86UG4.SCH for demand, and at $4.82;U4.83 for sixty days: posted rates. $4.W4.S4H and $4.8313 to $4.8S; commercial bills, $4.824. Silver certificates, G0H(5ttc. Bar silver. 60Uc; Mexican dollars, 4Sc. At London,, bar tllver closed steady at 27?id an ounce. Yesterday's New York stock market was professional almost entirely, and was dull except in one or two spots. Symptoms of strength were confined to a few of the specialties, notably Tobacco, which made up a large proportion of the day's total transactions. The movement In this stock was attributed to manipulation directed against the shorts, whose efforts to cover helped the advance. Sympathetic strength was shown by Continental Tobacco. Tennessee Coal continued its remarkable show of strength and closed at the highest price at a net gain of 2V$ points. Otherwise the iron and steel stocks were Inclined to depression. Wall street had a rumor that there had teen a slump in pig iron prices abroad,- but this could not be verified. There have been recent purchases of steel abroad, but these were simply the result of the great scarcity and large demand in this country. Dispatches reporting a threatened plague of grasshoppers in Western States were used with effect to depress the grangers. The trunk lines also were heavy. The recent buying by London in the New York market came to a stop owing to the decision of the London Exchange to close Saturday until Tuesday over the bank holi day on Monday. The bears made a successful attack on Brooklyn Transit, People's Gas and Rock Island early in the day, thus increasing the tendency to reaction. The market had its periods of strength, sustained by the move ment in Tobacco, firmness in Sugar, strength in Rubber and General Electric, and a few of thef railroad stocks. The strength was not maintained and the iso lated railroad stocks, such as St. Louis Southwestern and some of the Southern stocks, which showed small net gains, were so nearly inactive as tn have little effect on the general list. The undertone of the market was heavy until the close, notwith standing a sudden marking up of Brooklyn Transit. The retention, bv the Bank of England. of its opening rate of discount, instead of an advance, failed to nave a very reassur ing effect. The private rate of discount In London advanced a fraction above the bank rate. Sterling exchange in New York re sumed, its downward course, notwitnstanaing the advance In the London private list and the announcement of a shipment from London to San Francisco of $1.206.6j0 in old. In Paris rentes the tendency was ownward again. These incidents are ac cented as admonitions that if exchange here falls to the gold import point London and the continent win sell securities ratner than part with gold. The decline in the local money market was arter most or me aay s DUBlnes8 was over, ana was witnout signin cance. Kansas City. Pittsburg & Gulf con tinued in demand and gained per cent. net.

As has been the case for somedays, the extreme heat has checked trade In a number of lines, yet conditions all favor an active fall trade. In prices, yesterday, there were no Im portant changes. The market is overstocked with cantaloupes and a cheap grade of apples, but good fruit sells at good prices. Lemons ar in active request and prices firmer. Other lines are without feature.

WHEAT LOST STRENGTH

LAUGH RECEIPTS AMD LACK OF DESI AM) CAt SED A DECLINE. Reports of Crop Damage Were Plentiful, but "Without Much Influence Other Markets Higher. CHICAGO, Aug. 3. The influence of iarfre primary receipts and lack of foreign demand proved mightier than the reports of crop damage In wheat to-day and caused a decline of H'Sic. Everything else on the floor showed some degree of strength, corn and oats closing a shade higher and provisions 5312!ic higher. Longs in wheat struck a snag at tho be ginning of trading In the shape of lower quotations from Liverpool. As the local market showed a substantially rally yesterday, at least no weakness was looked for n foreign markets and the Liverpool de cline, slight though It was, resulted in an initial loss here of about ic September started at 6969c. The absence of for eign demand for American wheat was again noticeable, but after the first selling move ment had ceased this was lost sight of in the continued reports of domestic crop damage, which were so serious as to cause the market totally to yesterday's closing price. The damage was reported as being particularly heavy In the Red river valley and estimates placed the total area affected as high as 130.000 acres, with probably $1.600,000 worth of growing grain destroyed. Later cables showed some rally in foreign markets and this also encouraged buying. Northwest receipts were moderate. Minneapolis and Duluth reported arrivals of 229 cars, against 392 last week and 77 a year ago. Chicago receipts were ninety-four cars. ten of contract grade. The total of primary receipts, however, was large, 653,000 bushels, compared with 375,000 a year ago. Export clearances from Atlantic ports were large. 705,000 bushels. Previous to this announce ment the market reacted from 70 cents, which point was reached shortly after tho opening, to 6H"S69bc, but the liberal clear ances caused a moderate covering move ment, which again sent the prica up to about 69c. There were many minor rallies and reactions, but during the afternoon the market gradually tended downward. The seaboard reported little foreign demand and this, coupled with the continued large primary receipts, apparently had a good influ ence on longs, for considerable wneat was put on the market. The market was quite weak toward the close. September declining to eofigc and closing at 69c. Near the close Minneapolis wired that new spring wheat was offered to arrive there In two weeks. Corn in the main was fairly active and firm. Reports of damage by hot weather in Kansas, firm cables and light receipts caused a good rally early, shorts covering freely. Clearances were large and the cash demand good. The late weakness in wheat affected corn and most of the advance was lost, but the market closed steady. Receipts were 343 cars. September ranged from 30c to 31c and closed at 30V&c Receivers were the principal tellers. The market for oats was dull and unlntersetlng. Prices were influenced almost entirely by other grains and the range of prices was narrow. Changing from September to May was a feature. May weakening slightly under the selling, while September and December were a shade hleher. The country was a fair seller. ShOTTTers wero buyers. Receipts were 427 cars. September ranged from l$U19sC to 19Bc and closed a shade higher at ll3c. The improved yellow fever situation caused a better feeling In provisions and the market was strong and fairly active throughout. Opening at a slight advance a good rally followed on liberal buying by shorts. The close was strong at or near tho best prices. There were indications of renewed outside Interest.
