TAItKINGTON Manmccr. TICKET AGENTS UNHAPPY jfo trospect op their receiving UlCillER COMMISSIONS. President Installs and Callaway Say ihere Will lie No Passenger Rate War General Notes. Chairman McLeod, of the Western Paeenger Association, has sent out the following notice, which will make ticket agents unhappy: 'There belnj? many rumors afloat that Increased commissions are to be paid on second-class or tourist tickets to California, and realizing the jjreat losses that follow the roads if there 13 payment of anything other than the normal rate of commission on all business to the West, you are hereby advised that the roads, under no consideration, will increase the commissions, directly or indirectly, and all r.otlces, printed or otherwise, promising or intimating Increased commissions or indefinite reward for business in tourist cars, or any other business, are hereby withdrawn. This Is intended to cancel and withdraw all implied promises to the contrary in a certain red circular issued by the St. Paul Railroad, which has been Interpreted as promising something special or extra on tourist-car business, and it also cancels and withdraws promises of increased commission said to have been Issued by the Burlington road, and all other printed, written or verbal promises or intimations of every kind and character other than the joint schedule of normal commissions effective July 1, 1S33." A Rlfir Enterprise. Angus Sinclair, of New York, proprietor of Lccoraotlve Engineering, and for ten years tho secretary of the Master Mechanics Association, who Is visiting In Chicago, is authority for the statement that as soon as competent men can be secured to be placed at the head of It a gigantic plant for the building of locomotives and other rolling stock is to be established In Switzerland by a company of American and European capitalists. Mr. Sinclair said: "At the head of the company as president is George Burnham. president of the Baldwin locomotive works, and J. S. Brill, of the Brill Company, of Philadelphia, as vice president. Mr. Barby is the managing director and Mr. Siemens, of the Siemensllalske Company, of Berlin, is one of those heavily Interested. The other directors are French and Swiss capitalists, a French banker being the treasurer. From my general knowledge of the business and recent observations in Europe I take It that the building of this plant simply means that the demand for locomotives and rolling stock in Europe Is much greater . than the supply, and that the American locomoUve builders interested see an opportunity to reap large profits by utilizing American methods and machinery with cheap Swiss labor. All of the methods to be employed ara distinctively American." Personal, Local and General Notes. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern wilf J)lace an order for one thousand box cars n addition to those already contracted for. The Board of Trade report shows that Western lines yesterday delivered for inspection 122 carloads of grain, 110 carloads being corn. Two carloads of oats brought to Chicago on Saturday last over the Santa Fe road contained 5,470 bushels, or more than 87,000 pounds to the car. The Monon accommodation put on a few months ago between Monon and Indianapolis is paying so well that it will probably be made permanent. It Is stated that should the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul withdraw its support from the Western Passenger Association the organization would go to the wall. The official figures show that In August there were handled on the Big Four system 673,885 passengers, against 613,317 in August, IS'jS, an increase this year of 00,568. On Monday the Lake Erie & Western will put on its fast through freight trains, in connection with the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, between Fort Wayne and Cincinnati. The Missouri Pacific and the Wabash announce that they will meet the cut rates on provisions to the Southeast recently announced by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. The Indianapolis & Vlncennes brought into IndianipolU In August the largest number of cars loaded with coal of any Aujyust since the road made any pretensions to being a coal road. On the Pennsylvania lines traffic is o heavy and the demand for engines and cars so great that It was considered unwise to suspend locomotive or car repairs for Labor day. J. W. Barnes, for several years agent of the Wabash at Woodburn. was burled on Monday, he dying of typhoid fever. Before going to Woodburn he was an operator at Fort Wayne. The Manchester locomotive works have received an order from the Fitch burg road for six passenger engines capable of making a speed of ninety miles an hour under favorable conditions. On Saturday the Big Four handled on its system 6,301 loaded cars, making it the best day in the road's business. By mistake it was said in the Journal Tuesday that this number was handled in the week endinr Sept. 2. It is likely that the Baltimore & Ohio directors will follow the example of the ITnlon Pacific directors in the matter of dividends on the preferred stock, and that they will begin these distributions on a 3 per cent, basis. General Yardmaster James Russell, of the Panhandle, has arranged to take a long vacation trip. His health has not been very good for some time and he proposes to go West and remain away from duty for three or four months. The gross earnings of the Indiana. Decatur & Western for August were nearly jxj.oo In excess of those of August, 1SDS. The Ohio River road, its new acquisition, helped to swell the earnings and the Sunday excursion business paid better than last year. The Grand Rapids & Indiana gave all its section men between Kendallville and Richmond a free ride to Rome City on Labor day, where they held a picnic at Island Park. Two hundred section men. with their families, availed themselves of the privilege. There were handled at the baggage rooms of the Union Station In August TO.wtf pieces of baggage, against &3,lo in August, lM'S. the month the Knights of Pythias encampment wiS at Indianapolis. In 17 but 60.101 pieces of baggage were nandled at this station. There Is a rumor which seem to have some foundation to the effect that the same parties who own the Erie Railroad will secure control of the Toledo. SU Louis & Kansas City. The Erie could make it a valuable property for that company, as it would let the Erie into St. Louis. The railroads of this State for the state fair this year will make one-fare rate for the round trip from all points in Indiana, tickets to be Rood Sept. 1S-24. inclusive. Special trains will be run on Wednesday and Thursday for tne Sousajland concerts, which will be given on those evenings. JL TL Ingalls, president of the Big Four, cays the rumored consolidation of the Big YiAir ana tne cnesapeake & Ohio Is as far c2s It was three year ago; stlU these, ;Sa It

rumors, like that of the consolidation of the Big Four and the Monon, are set afloat every few months without the least foundation. The Southern Railway has Just secured two handsome dining cars, finished in mahogany, which will run between Montgomery and Washington on the Limited. These care have Just been delivered by the Barney & Smith Company, of Dayton, O., and were built expressly for the Southern Railway's Atlanta and Washington run. It Is stated that the freifiht tonnage of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton's Indianapolis division for August was the largest of any month in the road's history. More loaded cars have been handled in a month on this division, but this was when the cars were of lighter capacity and the system of loading was not so methodical as at present. The work of double-tracking the Erie Railway from Kent to Akron, which it was announced some time ago would be done, was commenced on Saturday morning at Kent. The line between Kent and Talmage will be finished before any work Is done on the. division between Talmage and Akron. The double track, it is expected, will be laid by the first of the year. In the month of August the Panhandle took out of Indianapolis 7) carloads of horses, 121 carloads of cattle. 2S doubledeck carloads of hogs, 23 double-deck carloads of sheep, a total of 510 cars for Eastern markets. The Bee-line division of the Big Four in August took out of Indianapolis and from its western division, the St. Louis line. 33 carloads of live stock. S. E. Kirk has been appointed general agent of the Wheeling & Lake Erie freight department, with headquarters at Detroit. He succeeds Mr. Coolidge, who becomes assistant general freight agent, with headquarters at Toledo. Mr. Kirk resigns his position as commercial agent with the Cincinnati Northern, II. C. Warren has been appointed chief dispatcher of the Wheeling. President Callaway, of the New York Central, is paid to be opposed to a passenger rate war between the standard and differential lines, and says the talk of a prearranged attack on the weak lines is nonsensical. Iresldent Ingalls. of the Big Four and the Chesapeake & Ohio, says all reports of a passenger rate war are preposterous. The Grand Army rates may cause some irregularities, but will not precipitate a warfare. The mountains of western North Carolina are a refuge for summer tourists. From every State south of Maryland and east of Ohio the tourists have poured in by thousands and the counties west of the Blue Ridge, in North Carolina, are thronged with visitors. What formerly was confined to Asheville has spread until now It covers every one of the twelve counties lying west of the ridge, to say nothing of the half dozen or more on the eastern side of the mountains.

At New Ycrk yesterday money on call was 503 per cent.; last loan, 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 414 per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business in bankers' bills at $4. 64 4. 64" for demand and at $4.S3U for sixty days; posted rates, $4 84 and $4,874: commercial bills, $4.83. Silver certificates. 531i60c; bar silver. 59 7-16c; Mexican dollars, 474c At London bar. silver closed quiet at 2Sd an ounce. The buoyancy of a handful of Individual stocks gave an appearance of considerable strength and activity to the stock market, but outside of these few stocks the market was narrow and apathetic to the last degree. Shortly after the opening Northwestern was marked up sharply and the usual response was made in other numbers of the Vanderbilt group. Union Pacific also following the lead. As was the case last week, the heavy offerings of Union Pacific brought out on the advance checked the enthusiasm of the buying and operations in that particular group were for the most part discontinued. Northwestern's extreme rise was 45ic, the preferred eight points above the previous sale. Omaha two. New York Central and Union Pacific over a point. New York. Chicago & St. Louis stocks advanced from 14 to 4 points on a rumor that Judicial aid was to be sought to enforce asserted rights to dividends. The coalers were in good demand, Lackawanna leading with a rise of 34. Gains In this group were not maintained entirely. Other railroad stocks which rose a point or over were St. Paul preferred, Colorado Midland preferred. Wheeling & Lake Erie second preferred. Hocking Valley and Chicago Great Western preferred. A and B stocks. Transactions elsewhere in the railroad list were quite Insignificant. There was a slight response in the early dealings to the depression in the London market. The bulk of the trading was In the more volatile specialties. Tennessee Coal was the most conspicuous figure In the day's market. After dropping a fraction it was aggressively lifted by successive stages nine full points and closed at 108, the top price. Colorado Fuel apparently sympathized with Its movement and rose an extreme 5- There was good demand for Republic Steel at an advance of 24 and Federal Steel rose a point. Otherwise the iron and steel stocks showed but a slight response. The New York municipal stocks, including both the gas and traction stocks, were quite buoyant and show gains of from two to five points, the latter in Metropolitan Street-railway. American Tobacco rose an extreme three points and Sugar 1. Chicago Terminal Transfer preferred gained two. Rates for call loans were firm at 3 per cent, or over, and the first deposits of money at the subtreasury for shipment to the South amounting to $100,000 were made in the morning. The decline in the item of "due to other banks' In the statement of New York national banks Is cited to explain In part the recent drain on the deposits of New York banks. A coincident Increase in the same item of the Philadelphia national banks indicates that outside banks have transferred their deposits on a large scale from New York banks to other cities. The explanation is the rule of New York clearing-house banks lately enforced to charge for collection of checks from outside points. The announcement last week of the withdrawal of a prominent trust company from, the clearing-house privileges with its decision to discontinue the practice of charging for the collection of outside checks has brought the subject prominently into notice. One effect evidently will be to shift part of the demand for money to move the crops from New York to other cities which have Increased their deposit account by the deposits of Eastern and Southern banks. The bond market was quiet and changes wore small and mixed. Total sales, 11,435,000. United States bonds were unchanged in bid quotations.

Trade Rather Quiet, with No Fluctuations in Values to Note. As might be expected following a holiday and with the thermometer at 90 or more in the shade, trade on the wholesale streets was quiet. Even wholesale grocers, who have had the busiest year in their history, admitted yesterday that business was dull, and there were no changes in prices calling for special mention. Dry goods, drugs, leather, hide and iron and hardware markets are all in strong position,' and with cooler weather and more activity in trade it need not be a surprise should there be further advances in all the above-named lines. There is some complaint on Commission row. Receipts of fruits and vegetables are large and so apt are they to decay this warm weather that retail merchants buy from hand to mouth, letting each day take care of Itself. The poultry and egg market is firm at quotations. The local grain market shows a little more activity. Receipts of wheat, - corn and oats are not up to expectations nor sufficient to supply the local demand. Track bids yesterday, as reported by the secretary of the Board of Trade, ruled as follows: Wheat No. 2 red, 66c; No. I red, 2ffG5c; September, CCc; wagon wheat, 67c Corn No, 1 white, 32c; No. 3 white tone color), 32c; No. 4 white, 2931c; No. 2 white mixed, 32c; No. 3 white mixed, 32c; No. 4 white mixed, 29tf31c; No. 2 yellow, 32c; No. 3 yellow. 32c; No. 4 yellow, 2931c; No. 2 mixed, 32c; No. 3 mixed. 32c; No. 4 mixed,. 2921c; ear corn, 31c.

HEAVY WHEAT RECEIPTS

TWO DAYS' ACCUMULATION RESULTED IN FEARS OF A DECLINE. Corn AVns Reported Injured by Hot Winds and Showed Some ImprovementProvisions Firm. CHICAGO, Sept. 4. Weakness in the Northwest and heavy receipts at all points were mainly responsible for declines of 0c in deferred futures in wheat to-day. September was in good demand and closed c higher. Hot. dry weather caused an advance of 0cln corn. Oats closed unchanged to c higher and provisions about 7c higher. The first impulse of traders in wheat was to buy, slightly higher quotations from Liverpool snd other foreign markets overshadowing for the time being the heavy receipts everywhere. The result was an opening advance of about 0c in December and c in September. December starting at 71071c and September at 6S?c. A short period of realizing followed, during which December declined to 71c, but the steadiness displayed by corn and some rather bullish reports on the condition of the spring wheat crop sent the price back to the opening figures, where they held for a short time. Everything else in the way of news favored the selling side and before 11 o'clock the market began to weaken and from that time to the close deferred futures exhibited more or less weakness. September, however, was quite steady. The elevator people were buyers of September on account of the small carrying charge and the premium between September and December was reduced to lc Marked weakness developed in the Northwest and a good many selling orders came from that section, which Influences local trading. Both Duluth and Minneapolis declined faster and further than Chicago and predicted a continuance of heavy receipts. This, with the poor cash demand, had a marked Influence on trading in December and May and made those options the object of considerable liquidation and short selling. Speculation at times was nearly at a standstill, which made the cash weakness more apparent. Toward the close there was a tendency to cover by shorts, who had sold earlier In the day, and this caused slight rallies. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 2.200 cars for two days. Chicago receipts were 253 cars. Total primary receipts were 2.021,000 bushels for two days, against 3.059.000 for the corresponding days a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 1,194,000 bushels. The seaboard made no mention of export demand to-day. December declined to 70c and advanced to 71c where it closed. September closed at 69c Corn showed considerable firmness In view of the enormous crop estimates, and after a period of weakness early, ruled higher to the close. The weather In the corn belt was dry and hot and there was apparently some apprehension of damage, complaints of which were numerous. September was especially strong. The cash and export demand was excellent. Receipts were 1,500 bushels for two days. December ranged from 2Sc to 29c and closed 0c higher at 29029c Oats were steady, but very dull, prices keeping within a narrow range. The market in general followed corn and closed at a slight advance. There was some buying by September shorts. The shipping demand was fair. Receipts were 874 cars. December ranged at 2O02Oc and closed at 20c a shade higher than yesterday. September closed c higher at 19c. . Provisions were steady, notwithstanding lower cables and reports of yellow fever cases at Key West. Selling waa light and scattered and the demand fair. The strength of corn helped the market, everything closing- firm at advances.
