Local Millers Suffer Through' Action of Hallronds President Inicalls'a Views of the Matter. Amonjr local millers there Is a good deal of feeling over the action of the railroads in charging a lower rate fcr carrying grain than grain products, which Is a serious matter not only to the flouring mills, but the cerealine mills and starch works. While the Interstate-commerce Commission has ruled in the matter, the roads do not heed Its ruling, and last evening President Gent, of the cerealine mills, said that the millers would wait a little longer to see what the roads did, and unless the recommendations of the Interstate-commerce Commission were respected, the millers would go Into the United States Courts for protection of their interests. George T. Evans, one of the oldest millers In the city, said yesterday: "The recent ruling of the Interstatecommerce Commission in regard to export rates on wheat and flour Is thoroughly in line with what the millers and small shippers of the eountry have been claiming during the past few months. There are many things done by railroads which at first glance do not appear reasonable to the public or to the shipper. Further examination shows the reasonableness of the proposition. But why the railroads of the country should taVe wheat at 6 cents a hundred pounds less than flour, and corn at 4 cents a hundred pounds less than corn products, Is beyond the comprehension of the shipper, and the closer the scrutiny the less does there appear reason for it. Even if It Is granted, for the sake of argument, which la yet to be proved, that it costs more to handle flour than It does wheat, I hardly think there is a railroad man that would put himself up to ridicule by saying that It costs $36 more to handle g carload of flour thin It does a carload of wheat between Western points and the seaboard. The action of the railroads during these past few months has had the effect of giving a bounty to the English . miller, the German miller or the French miller. The result has been, especially with our trade to Great Britain, which Is our largest export trade, that millers of the United States have had great difficulty In satisfying buyers as to price. Whatever trade has been done this season has been done at no profit at all, and in many cases at an actual loss in the effort to continue the trade relations which hitherto have been so mutually satisfactory. But if the policy of the railroads Is to continue all this effort will be In vain. Export mills count on a profit of only 5 cents a barrel, but with the foreign miller having the advantage of two prorlts against the American miller the latter will have no show. There has never been a season in the past twenty years when the export trade was so difficult to get as it Is this year, nor when so many mills have been running on part time or shut down that ordinarily are able to run full time. Prom the standpoint of the miller the discrimination by the railroads means ruination. From the standpoint of the public it is arbitrary, unjust and unAmerican. It is quite contrary to the t rirlt of American public policy for the past thirty years that exports of American manufacture should have a tariff placed on them, which Is what the present rate on flour practically amounts to. From the standpoint of the railroads it Is Incomprehensible to the public why such policy should be pursued. The roads are constantly advising shippers that there is a scarcity of cars. It Is well known that there never has been such a movement of traffla in the history of the country, and railroads are absolutely unable, in some Instances, to furnish transportation when wanted. Yet. in spite of all this, the roads are pursuing the policy of carrying a large amount of their freight at such a very low figure as to involve an actual loss. If it Is at a loss, shippers of other products, as In the case of flour, are having to pay for it. The actual drift of the situation is being understood by some of the leading railroad .men in the country, and It is to be hoped the railroads themselves will take action without having to be compelled by a growing public sentiment to do what their own Judgment should have dictated long ago. I lave received a letter from Mr. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four road, under date of July 20. which reads as follows: I have never been in favor of this reduction in the wheat rate. What ought to be done Is to raise It to the same as the flour rate, and I hope shortly the railways will get tired nf their insane competition and restore the wheat rate to a paying basis, and then the flour men can live. I wfll do everything possible to this end.' What Is needed is for a few more men of the power of President Ingalls to Insist that the roads shall be run on a business ba?is, doing away with the faying of salaries on tonnage and putting hem on a basis of revenue. At any rate, something must be done, and that very speedily, to bring about a change in the situation, or one of the country's greatest industries will be absolutely ruined." Doycottt May He Lifted. It is quite probable the boycott against the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf road will be called off by its connections. Counsel for a number of the Chicago-Missouri river roads have, it Is said, advised the officers of the companies to obey the lnjuctlon issued by the United States Circuit Court restraining them from canceling Joint tariffs and prorating arrangements. It is also reported that the alleged boycotting lines have been advised not to answer or fight the Injunction, but to continue prorating relations with the Gulf road and allow the temporary restraining order to be made permanent. Officers of the Chicago-Missouri river roads were to-day served with the court's order. Taxpayers Object to Subsidies. The election in Noble township, in which Wabash Is situated, and Waltz township, same county, on the proposition to vote 3,000 in the former and 110,000 in the latter to the Kokomo. Wabash & Northern electric line, was defeated yesterday in Noble township by only votes In a total of 2.200. and by 10. votes In Waltz. The company is composed of Wabash and Kokomo bus ness men, and the defeat kills the project. Personal, Local and General Notes. Amos Blanchard. treasurer of the Bo ton Sc. Maine, has held that position since C. II. Harking has been appointed commercial agent of the Baltimore & Ohio at Chicago. Barney. Smith & Co.. of Dayton, are building ten new passenger ccaches for the Lake fchore road. In July the Chicago & Eastern Illinois earned net $177,600, an increase over July. IMS. of WS.S74. ' Y. T. Hatch, superintendent of the MlchiEan dlvizlon of the Vandalia. is visiting ut is old home, Haverhill. Mass. By Nov. 1 the Chicago. Burlington & Qulncy will have abandoned twenty-three miles of Its present main line track between Chicago and Ottunawa, la., and re

duced the distance three and one-half miles. This company is now expending J2.OJ0.O0O in improvements on its main line. General Manager Schaff, of the Big Four, is planning for an extended Ashing trip to Northern Lakes and Canadian waters. J. S. Sweeney will to-morrow succeed Major I line as trainmaster of the east end of the Chicago division of the Big Four. The car works at Jeffersonvllle, Ind., have secured a contract to build one thousand ventilated cars for the Southern Railway. George T. Bender, general utility man of the Big Four, returned yesterday from a two weeks' vacation spent at Hot Springs, W. Va. Under late deals the Columbus & Northwestern has passed from control of the Lima Northern into the hands of the C. N. Haskell syndicate. A steam shovel baa been put in operation on the east end of the Peoria &. Eastern, and four construction trains are distributing gravel ballast along the line. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois will place Its telegraph offices along the line In the Interlocking towers, as has already been done at Hoopston and Watseka. The federated board of" the brotherhoods of conductors, trainmen and telegraphers on the Big Four will meet Sept. 4 to take up the question of an advance in pay. John Nelson, engineer of maintenance of way on the Cincinnati end Sandusky division of the Big Fcur, has resigned to accept a position on the New York Central lines. The car works at Jeffersonvllle, Ind., are being enlarged and new machinery put in. About sixty men are now engaged in repairs to the plant, which now has plenty of work. E. F. Fuller, who for many years was division freight agent of the Pennsylvania line, now living at Morrow, O., is very 111, having on Sunday suffered a stroke of paralysis. Wages of firemen on the Bl? Four wsre advanced with those of the engineers, the firemen receiving 53 per cent, of such sum as is paid per one hundred miles run to engineers. Travel to Philadelphia, passenger men think, will be the heaviest in years for such an occasio i, the low rate and limit of the G. A. It. tickets making the trip quite popular. The Chicago & Alton has made W. F. Coulter commercial agent of the road, with headquarters In Columbus. This is the first location of commercial agent in Columbus of any Western road. It is announced that the Lackawanna, which has the shortest line between Buffalo and New York, will put on a fast train which will beat the fast schedule of the Empire express on the New York Central. An effort is being made to induce the city of Muncle to become interested in the extension of the Chicago, IndUna & Eastern road, Harry's Drew's enterprise, to that city, Muncle to give a reasonable subsidy to secure it. President Hill, of the Great Northern, has decided to create the position of general manager and will appoint his son. J. N. Hill, at present vice president of the Eastern Minnesota road, as general manager of the Great Northern system. The Haskell & Barker car works at Michigan Citv are dally turning out a train of

palace stock cars for the Denver & Rio Grande. Next week they will commence the building of the last five hundred cars for the Lake Erie & Western. According to the statement of the Financial Chronicle 172 roads earned the first half of 1S99, gross, $520,558,717, an Increase over the corresponding period of IKiS of $31,781.631. The same roads earned net $155,816,629, an Increase this year of $11,242,792. The Michigan Central Railroad cut the freight rate on oats and oat products from Chicago to the seaboard 2 cents on Monday and yesterday all the other roads concerned met the cut. To-day the Central Freight Association, in session in Chicago, will consider the matter. Shops of the Big Four will be kept busy this fall and winter, as in addition to the repair work at Brlghtwood two hundred new furniture cars will be built, and 150 coal cars and 150 flat cars will be built at the Lindale shops. The material for this new rolling stock Is now being purchased. The Vandalia Is tearing down some old buildings at Brazil preparatory to the erection of a better depot at that point. No point on the road is more In need of such an improvement, and the business the road gets there entitles Brazil to better accommodations both for passenger and freight. F. H. Short, treasurer of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, has been connected with that company In an official capacity since February, 1S&2. and in 1857 was elected treasurer of the road, which position he has held since, except from 1874 to 1S77, when he was three years president of the company. The Pennsylvania Is about to commence the building of another branch railroad, the eastern terminus of which will be Cresson and the western Dunlo. The survey for the new road was made early In the spring, and a draft of the line then run was made and is now being put In shape for contractors to bid on. W. D. Wilson, president of the National Association of Railway Agents, gives notice that the fourth annual meeting of the above association will be held in the city of Detroit on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 24, 25, 26 and 27, next year, and It is hoped the members and those Interested in its success will aid the officials la making this the best meeting yet held. The shipments of stone over' the Monon from the Bedford quarries are said to be the heaviest In years and, with Its new track open. It hauls in either direction, with Its big locomotives, fifteen to twenty more cars. A large percentage of the shipments at present go to points In Pennsylvania and New York, and quite a sprinkling to Boston, while to the Northwest shipments are again becoming heavy. The increase in passenger traffic on the Chesapeake & Ohio the last two years has been fully as remarkable as was the increase of the freight traffic of the road with Its opening of Newport News as its export point. Much credit Is due to Harry Fuller, the general passenger and ticket agent, and C. B. Ryan, Western general passenger agent: both have been untiring in developing the passenger business of the line. Mr. Fuller for several years represented the Erie Railway at Indianapolis and on June 1, 1SS1, accepted the position of general passenger and ticket agent of the Chesapeake & Ohio. The New York Tibune says this morning: "It was reported on Thursday that a New York representative of the Vanderbilt intereats was negotiating for the Western Maryland railroad as a tidewater outlet. It was said that the syndicate would, if it secured control of the road, make it the outlet for a new trunk line to the West. At the Grand Central Station officials o? the New York Central cald that the railroad was not negotiating to acquire the Western Maryland property. It was also denied that the Vanderbllts were after It. It was said, however, that certain capitalists identified more or less with the Vanderbilt lines might be taking an interest In the road. At the next meeting of the Western Passenger Association the report of the committee on interchangeable mileage tickets will be discussed. This committee was appointed several weeks ago to ascertain whether any Improvements could be made In the present ticket. Regarding the matter a prominent traffic official of one of the Western lines says: "There have been several attempts to Introduce various new forms of mileage tickets, but the present interchangeable mileage ticket system In use on Western lines has been so satisfactory to the majority of the railways and to tht majority of persons, both commercial travelers and others who make frequent and numerous trips, that there will be little or no change, except, perhaps, a slight Improvement In the character of the ticket. The principle, however, should be the same. The present ticket gives to each railway line an absolute check upon its own revenues and secures to each line the entire revenue to which it is entitled In the sale of interchangeable mileage tickets. Any change to the old system of mileage of a mileage strip ticket might, perhaps, embarrass the holder of such a ticket. The objections which commercial men urge to the old mileage strip ticket Is the fact that the railroad companies receive advance payment for a ticket which might not be used within the year, and that the railroad companies have an undue advantage In having money to use at Interest before performing the service. The mileage book In use on the Central Traffic Association lines, after all the objections made to it. seems to plea?e the purchasers of mileage as well as any form yet used." Corn Is King. Have you heard of our wonderful corn this year? They say It will go sixteen pounds to the ear. That Just a glance at it will fatten a steer. And that we can't husk It till next crop Is here. Out in Kansas. They say that the stalks reach as high as the well. You wouldn't believe It; It's no use to tell. Some ears er a large as a th!rten-inch hell. And there nil be corn both to burn and to sell. Out In Kansas. They're Iroklng for giants, who reach high enough. Without a stepladder. to gather the stuff; Our court of visitation ran't run a Muff And get cars to haul it. and that's where It's tough. Out in Kansas. Perhaps 10-cent corn you'll be able to buy There's millions of wads in It. then, you'll descry ; And when It ts fed to the stock bye'and bye, li t downtrodden farmers will be octopl. Out in Kansas.

At New York, yesterday, money on call was steady at 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4U'&5 per cent. Sterling exchange was easier, with actual business in bankers bills at $4.S6U'4.SCi-i for demand and at l.S3iiJ.S3ti for sixty days; posted rates, $4.84 and $4.871y; commercial bills, $4.82Vi. Silver certificates, SSUfiGOc; bar silver. 534c; Mexican dollars. 474c. At London bar silver closed dull at 27?jd an ounce. Prices in many prominent railroad stocks show losses of $1 a share and upwards as a result of yesterday's trading on 'Change. There was a disposition in the early hours of the day to contest the decline, and the effort was assisted by several strong features in the list. But the persistent heaviness of railroad stocks and the manifest exhaustion of the buying demand discouraged the bulls and turned the scale in favor of the bears. Stocks In which the manipulation by bulls has been recently evident, showed a conspicuous lack of support. Conspicuous in this class was Louisville & Nashville, Northern Pacific, Atchison preferred, B. & O. and Western Union. Several of the minor stocks which have been under recent manipulation also suffered severely. Some opposition to the early heaviness resulted from the active demand for the Republic Steel stocks on the strength of yesterday's declaration of a dividend on the preferred stock and semi-official intimations of very large earnings available for the common. The common advanced at one time 24) and the preferred 4 per cent. Steel and wire was also marked up on predictions that the listing committee of the Stock Exchange was disposed to list it. These two facts gave strength to the iron and steel stocks. In the railroad stocks the Chicago Great Western stocks showed strength, the "B" preferred rising i points. There was demand for Kansas & Texas preferred and gains shown by Wheeling & Lake Erie and Hocking Valley. In the local New York traction stocks Brooklyn Transit was lifted quite aggressively, and Metropolitan Streetrailway and Manhattan showed sympathy. There came a covering movement in Tobacco after a sharp fall, and Sugar showed strength from the same cause. But these elements of strength were quite insufficient to Induce a renewal of buying in the general list on any large scale, and prices continued to drift away under dribbling offerings. The declaration of a 2 per cent, semi-annual dividend on Union Pacific preferred stiffened that stock and caused a momentary check to the downward movement, but wnen the bears perceived the continued heaviness they attacked the market in the late dealings, making the closing active and weak at about the lowest. The few earlier gains were mostly wiped out, those remaining being largely reduced. The weakness on foreign stock markets on account of the acuteness of the Transvaal situation was an Influential factor in the day's weakness, London sales on this side were estimated at 30,000 shares, covering the entire list of international stocks. The fall of a fraction in the actual rates for sterling exchange in face of this liquidation from London caused renewed uneasiness over the local money situation. Rates for time money were appreciably firmer, and no call loans were made below 3 per cent. The bond market was rather quiet and price changes were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,430,000. United States government bonds were unchanged on bid quotations. Following is a list of Etock sales yesterday, with closing bids: Closing Sales. bid.

Trade Good for Xenr the Close of a Month and Prices) Firm. Trade on the wholesale streets yesterday was quite active for the last of the month. The fact Is that retail merchants are in such shape financially and there has not been a time In years when so many retail merchants discount their bills. The leather market is in strong position at the advance of Monday, when hemlock sole, oak sole and harness leather all advanced a cent. The dry goods market maintains its strong tone and in the drug line better prices are ruling. The hide market is very firm at the advance of c on Monday. Other markets are without epaclal feature. The local grain market is moving along much in the rut of st viral days past. Receipts, while being better, are not equal to the local demand.

WHEAT AVERAGED WEAK

SLIGHT RECOVERY AT THE CLOSE OX WORLD'S CROP ESTIMATES. Shorts, Also, Were Not Anxlons to Take Long Risks on Lower Prices ProTlalons Unchanged. CHICAGO, Aug. 2D. Wheat averaged weak to-day, but closed at substantially unchanged prices. Expectations of Increased Northwest receipts was still affecting the bulls, but shorts were disposed to take profits. Other markets were uninteresting. Corn closed He lower for September and unchanged for December. Oats declined Vc in September, closed a shade higher for December. Provisions closed unchanged to 2Hc lower. "Weakness was shown by wheat at the opening cf trading. Liverpool reported a decline of id, while the Northwest advices told of perfect weather for harvesting operations and also said thai new wheat would move freely from no on. Longs were the principal sellers. They were apparently afraid of their position under the favorable crop conditions and liquidation from that source forced prices downward slightly from the opening decline. The break in prices was taken advantage of by shorts, who covered quite freely, and a slow recovery in prices ensued, the advance bringing both the September and December options back fairly within yesterday's closing prices. An interval of extreme dullness followed and prices for an hour or more varied little. The general tendency was in the main downward, the sepculative market being influenced to a certain degree by the early slack cash demand. The weakness became more pronounced in the afternoon, though the declines were small on account of the lack of trading either way. The Northwest waa weaker than the local market and some selling came from that direction. Late In the session the market was influenced by the Hungarian minister's estimate on the world's wheat crop, which put the amount at nearly 90,000,000 bushels under the theoretical requirements. A fair amount of buying followed this announcement and best prices of the day were reached. There were plenty of holders willing to part with their wheat at the advance, and the close found the market steady, but on a slight downward turn. Bradstreet estimated the world's visible decrease at l,&oou bushels, about what wa9 expected. Minneapolis and Duluth receipt were 581 cars, against 3U6 last week and 859 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 192 cars, four of contract grade. The total primary receipts were G06.O0O bushels, compared with LXJ,000 a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 2SS.000 bushels. The cash demand here was slow and offerings generally freer. New York put the export engagements at twenty-flve loads. September opened Vic lower, at 6SC3T4c. It declined to C0c during the nrst hour, soid as high as) lOc and closed at 70c. December opened Wdc lower, at 7l(71c. It declined to 71 He and reacted to HWaRUc, closing at 72c. Corn was irregular. September was weak early with wheat and on the more liberal offerings, but it rallied later and closed about steady. The new crop futures were steady all day. Trading was extremely narrow and price fluctuations in all speculative futures were small. Local receipts were 448 cars. Elevator people were tne principal sellers. There was some talk of too much hot weather. September ranged from 3uV4c to 39&31c and closed He lower, at 30!ic December closed unchanged at 2SHc. Oati, In the main, followed corn. September was weak early, but recovered partly and closed fairly steady. Country offerings were freer and the cash demand not so good during the morning. Elevator people sold. Cah business improved later and 200,000 bushels were reported worked. Trading wasi mostly in the way of changing. Receipts were 777 cars. September ranged from 19;c to I9ti20c and closed He lower, at 19fiftc. December closed a shade higher, at l!S&19.ic. Provisions were steady most of the day. Weakness was shown at the opening, in sympathy with the grain markets. Shorts were moderate buyers of the September Kroduct and with light offerings prices ruled lgher until near the close, when the demand slackened and prices fell off. The close was steady, September pork unchanged, at $3.23; September lard, 2Hc lower at $5.22 and September ribs 2Ho lower at J5.17H.
