The operating expenses and taxes absorbed 59.22 per cent, of the traffic earnings. The freight business was carried at the very low average of 4.83 mills a ton a mile, a decrease of 27-100 of a mill from previous year. Th.e large mpty mileage, amounting to about 40 per cent, of the whole. Is explained tr the coal tielng a one-way traffic and the cars having to be returned empty. President Carpenter makes a note of the fact that the taxes were. $220,309.97, which was i.H per cent, of the frross receipts from traffic, and represent $15.52 for taxes for every $100 paid out for labor. The traffic earnings were $2fi6,834.56. or 16.C6 per cent, greater than In the previous year. Rail Vs. Canal Transportation. The annual report of M. E. Ingalls, president of the Chesapeake & Ohio, for the year ending June 30. 1839, Is still favorably commented cpon by the financiers and the Industrial press, especially the achievement of the Chesapeake & Ohio In reducing Its freight rates on coal to the seaboard to 2.21 mills per ton per mile and all freight carried over the line to 3.62 mills per ton per mile. Coupled with this Is the Increase In the train load from 399 tons In 1S9S to 423 tons the last year, paying freight for each freight train and this from a rate of 5.36 mills per ton per mile in 1S92. It is stated that in this respect the Chesapeake & Ohio Is far ahead or any other railroad in the world. Other first-class roads move as keavy trains, but have a larger share . of their business In local traffic or high-class freight, while the Chesapeake & Ohio depends very largely upon through hauling of coal from mines to the seaboard and to Its western terminal. In commenting on this report Abram S. Hewitt says that he lias, much to his own surprise, become convinced that the railroad can haul freight at les cost than the canal. The railroad has one great advantage in steady work for Its track and equipment the year round, and employes In large numbers who can be shifted from one service to another according to the occasion. The hauling of freight by rail requires no protection from the weather, no handling but dumpage at cither end. and with a down grade much of the way to the seaboard, has great advantages. But. after all Is said, transportation officials are prone to believe that the phenomenal success attained on the Chesapeake & Ohio clearly indicates that the minimum cost for railroad transportation has not yet been reached. The use of larger locomotives, steel cars, with the best de vices, economical loading and unloading are working wonders on some of the interior roads, as In the case of the coal roads at lake terminals, and transnnrtn , tlon men are of opinion that less Expensive mooes or nanaung ana hauling grain may be devised. Net Earn Inns. The net earnings of the railroads for July, row coming to hand, make some of the most remarkable comparisons ever recorded. On the Pennsylvania lines west the no earn ings for July show an Increase this year over July, 1S9S. of 1331,400. and for the seven . months the net earnings show an increase of $1,136,100: the Wabash nn increase of $46.-u-v. or is per cent.; tne Krie an increase In net earnings for July of $207,0(10. or 30 per aru me exniou or ine isonnwestern lines Is equally remarkable. The statement of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul shows an Increase in July, net. of $237.337,-or very nearly 30 per cent. So far as comparisons fro. however. It Is likely the July net earnngs will make the most striking exhibit of the year. While in the later autumn and "elnter months the companies may make larger earnings than In midsummer, they will have the most active period of lr9 with which to make comparisons, and should such roads as the Rig Four, the Panhandle, the Vandalla. th Cincinnati TTaml! Dayton and the Monon make as favorable net earnings as in the fall and winter of jms it win be due to reduction of cost In operating expenses or better rates. Nevr Wabash Division Point. The Wabash Railroad Company Is begin ning work on some of the extensive lm provements that have been contemplated for a lorg time at Peru. The grounds that have been recently filled with the buildings of the bridge and building department, the car department and the offices from An drews. Ind., are now having another build In g added, which will be used for the gen eral storenouse that will be changed from IJutler to Peru. Next will be the moving of the freight depot from its present location opposite the passenger station to the locality of the buildings Just mentioned and the building of an addition to the freight depot. A coal chute of twenty Dockets will be built .ot the roundhouse and new tracks will be added to the present yards. In addition the extensive new yjyds will soon be comm rnenced on the ground recently purchased by the railroad east of the city. These improvements. With those 1uat romn1rrl will add greatly to the Importance of Peru as a station, a division point and division head quarters. Personal, Local and General Note.

P. Crommell. In charge of the steam shovel on the T. II. & L. division of the Vandalla. last week loaded 237 cars with gravel ballast In eight hours, but on Tuesday of this week broke that record by leading 204 cars In six hours. It Is creating some surprise that the Big Four, which is generally found in the rear rank In east-bound tonnage, last week car ried out of Chicago 15.537 tons, or 14.8 per cent., being second in the list, the Michigan Central carrying 16,023 tons, or 15.3 per cent. The Southern Railroad has decided to re store the cut of 10 per cent, made in 1S96 In the wages of all the employes on Its system, embracing trainmen, office men and officials In all departments. President Spencer, It Is said, will make the announcement about sept. 10. Freight traffic on the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago has been so heavy of late that It has led to a large number of promotions In the freight service. Men who have been acting as brakemen for years have been advanced in considerable numbers to be conductors. Morris McDonald, who, a year ago, left New Albany, Ind., to accept the position of general superintendent of the Maine Central. Is making an excellent record on that road, having cut down the operating expenses and at the same time increased the efficiency of the train service. Mr. Charles R. Hudson, who resigned as assistant general freight agent of the Santa Fe, will, on Oct. 1, become general freight and passenger agent of the Mexican Cen tral Railroad. Mr. Hudson will succeed Adam Hoffman, who was compelled to give up work on account of 111 health. In the annual report of the Erie considerable attention Is paid to the Improvements and betterments made on the system since tne last annual report was made, it 19 a noticeable fact that the Erie is making re markable progress since the present man agement has had charge of Its policy. The new owners of the Chicago & Alton talk encouragingly of the future proeDects of the road. The present management are prepared to spend millions of dollars In Im provements. The roadbed will be rebuilt, the rowing stock ana equipment renewed and many important connecting lines provided. Daniel Mackfee and Frederick Flfer. the car thieves Detective Gradv. of th Ble Four, arrested, are now tn Jail at LawrenceDurg, ind.. not being able to furnish the bond the court required.

One Hundred Per Cent. Hartford Courant. President Charles Kendall Adams, of Wisconsin University, Is one of the prominent educators of the country and It behooves him to remember the fundamentals when dealing with higher themes. Arithmetic Is fundamental and "per cent." Is one of Its details. President Adams In an article in the new Atlantic. Freaking of the advances of rrodern civilization, says that there are cities in which in the past twenty-five years the death rate has been reduced "20. DO or even 1U0 per cent." We should be glad to receive further Information regarding those places where the death rate has declined 100 per cent. They must be pretty healthy. It means that they have no death rate at all and so nobody dies there. It Is surprising to find so prominent a man using such loose language and so well-edited a magazine as the Atlantic letting the slip co Into tycu

Silver certificates. SSfiWc; har silver. 58 13-lc; Mexican dollars, 47c. At London bar silver closed at 27d an ounre. There were many items In yesterday's news which favored an advance in the price of securities on 'Change. They were ef fective early in the day, but proved powerless to sustain prices. The higher level and gains, except in a few cases, were pret ty generally wiped out before the close. The Improvement in speculative markets abroad gave an upward impulse to prices at the opening. Iondon bought quite freely of fa vorites among the internationals. The buy ing from this source is attributed to the operations of a prominent New York operator making a holldy sojourn in London. After the orders for London account had been ex ecuted in this market, the railroad stocks fell somewhat Into the background, and the Industrials were brought forward. The lead ers of the group, especially the Tobaccos, were under rather severe pressure and showed sharp declines. Later there was some Improvement on the strength of the strong showing made by several railroads In July earnings. . Burlington was the leader, with an Increase in the surplus after charges of over $30,000. The Central ot Georgia Railway formed a marked exception, with a decline In net earnings of near ly $25,000, compared with July of last year. Lackawanna was marked up on the settlement of the dispute with the engineers, and there was some sympathetic strength in the other coalers. Meantime, the short Interest In Consolidated Gas showed signs of dis tress and marked up the stock 8, ex-dlvl-dend. The bears were inclined to cover sympathetically In the other industrials, but realizing in Continental Tobacco preferred, on the declaration of the first dividend. causeu mem to decline again. There was continued strength in the Republic Steel stocks, but the promising movement in Federal Steel late yesterday was promptly met Dy realizing to-aay, and the stocks of that company were heavy all day. Steel and Wire failed to show any response to the ad mission or tne stocks to the listed department of the exchange. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois stocks showed individual strength, and the common gained 6V& and the preferred 4i. Colorado Midland preferred and Rio Grande Western common and preferred were strong. The persistent heaviness of the market and the marking up of call loans prompted a general selling movement in the last hour which sent oft prices to the low point. There was a slight hardening In railroads, but the industrials were attacked again in the final dealings. There was no apparent resumption of operations by the organized pools recently active. The scarcity of money was attributed to preparations for the regular monthly settlement. But the New York banks continue to lose cash to the sub-treasury on account of customs and international revenue payments, and there is a balance of shipment to the interior over receipts. New York ex change at the principal interior points con tinues at a discount. Exchange both on London and Paris receded a fraction.

The continued warm weather, coupled with the fact that It was the last day of the month, caused trade yesterday to be rather quiet, ' although In most lines the business of the month fully reached expectations. In soma, lines 10 to 20 per cent, more business was done than in August, 1893. The wholesale grocers enjoyed an unusually large business for a summer month. Ihe dry goods houses did fully 15 per cent, more

business than in August last year. Wholesale druggists, leather dealers and confectioners report their business considerably in excess of last year, and the business of the Iron and hardware merchants was phenomenal. Produce men had a busy month and paid better prices for poultry, eggs and butter than In any August- for years. On Commission row a good deal ot stuff has been handled and very fair prices realized. .Some days the market would become overstocked and prices broke, but as a whole their business was Quite satisfactory. The grain market through the entire month was disappointing, receipts falling short of the demand. Millers have experienced considerable trouble getting wheat and corn to keep their mills In opera ttvri.

LISTLESS DAY IN WHEAT

INCREASING RECEIPTS AND A DISPO SITION TO UNLOAD DEALS. Prices Gradually SaR-fCed and FinallyClosed H-4c Lower 4)ther 3Iarkets Syxupnthlxcd. CHICAGO. Aug. 31. Listless and heavy under a burden of large and Increasing receipts, the wheat market mored sluggishly, with a ,c range to-day, and closed at the bottom, under yesterday's last price. Corn, oats and provisions followed the greater market, corn losing Uc, oats and provisions laMtC December wheat started below yester day's last price, at 7Uc. The predicted freer movement of wheat toward primary Western markets, more especially In the Northwest, was being realized to some extent. While to-day's receipts were still much smaller than those of last year, they showed a steady increase. Chicago got 157 cars, compared with 193 the year before, and Minneapolis and Duluth reported ZjO .cars. A bearish telegram came from Winni peg, declaring that Manitoba and other British Northwestern provinces would show a crop of 50,000,000 bushels of fine wheat. There was no export business here, and longs showed a tendency to let go of their holdings In the absence of encouraging news. The speculative business was small and traders generally Inclined to await the result of to-morrow's deliveries on Septem ber contracts. December sold from 72Vic down to 714 c, with Infrequent rallies, and closed at the bottom. Corn tamely followed the lead of the wheat market despite encouraging news regarding the shipping demands. Local receipts were 621 cars, and the aggregate of primary Western market receipts was C25.000 bushels. December opened unchanged at 2Mc, sold down to the half and finished at 238c. September opened Uc lower, at 3u-)ic, ana closed at jyHc. There was little business in the oats market exclusive of exchanging. Trade was light in volume, and although September at times showed some strength, it was largely because of the nearness of that month. The December option was easy tn sympathy with its sister market. December opened unchanged at 194c. sold between 19c and lc and closed at the opening figure. Sep tember nnisneu witn hc loss. The provision market followed the tendency of the market for live hogs. Hog prices at the yards were 10c to 20c lower, and hog receipts for the day were 23.00u. This, with the weakness in grain, put provision prices down several notches. Pork closed 24S5c lower for October and 7c for January. Lard lost 2Uc for October and January, and ribs, more steady than the otner. lost lic per hundred pounds.
