MAKING SCHEDULE TIME DESPITE THE HEAVY TRAFFIC FAST TRAIXS MAKE GOOD TIME. People In Southi-rn Indiana Anxious for a mv nnl to the State Capital 1'i.rliundlj statement. On of the remarkable features of the situation is that the pawenger service of the ejst-amMvcst line? is so satisfactory when the movement of freight la so heavy The past month, notwithstanding the heavy lrelght traffic and large excursion business, nearly every fast train fro.n east and west arrived at Indiana polls on schedule time. To do this the Panhandle and Big Four are using on their" fast trains the heaviest and fastest locomotives and in many cases using two locomotives to haul them vand make time. At division points every effort is made to get the trains away on .time;" sometimes baggage is left rather than hold the train and load it.- (-ending it on the next train It is the more remarkable from the fact that the trains are )w scheduled to fast and laden so heavily with passengers. Train dispatchers are instructed to exercise the utmost vigilance during the heavy freight movement to keep freight trains frcm in, any manner interfering with the movement of passenger trains, and It is not an unusual thing for one of the fast freight trains, in order to keep out of the way of passenger trains, to run thirty-five or forty miles an hour. One of the oldest train dispatchers in this section said yesterday that In his long experience he had never known it more difficult to keep trains moving on time than during the last three months. 2Veed Another Xorth-anil-South Road. I. 31. Parry and others interested in buildJng the new road from Indianapolis to Evansvillo and other points in the southern part of the State are making an inspection of the proposed line, giving the matter a thorough investigation. Yesterday they were in Evansvilie. The Cannelton Enquirer says; -It Is the dream of this part of Indiana to get a north-and-south railroad. It is a dream that is long in being realized because the natural course of commerce In this country, so long as the West was in course ot settlement, was from east to west- But now that the vacant lands of the West are in a measure taken up another natural force comes into play. It is that people of different climates are natural customers of each other. This is the opportunity of the north-and-south railroad capital sees this, and the prospect for such" roads is brighter than ever betore. Indianapolis is the political capital of Indiana, but In a business sense we are not tributary to i our principal city. Our east-and-west railroads make us customers of Cincinnati. Louisville and St. Louis. It is so wltft tn lower third of the State. In sight of the statue of Indiana on the soldiers' monument te"ltory that does all its trading with Cincinnati. Why? Because Indianapolis has no direct railroad connection. It takes a drummer ull day to get forty miles from Indianapolis, and It takes all the rrortts to pay freights on two or more railroads over which the goods must go. The Indianapolis Southern, recently incorporated, has substantial men interested. Its course would be from Indianapolis through Vi?;AVn,eV. ,n vr.own, county, Bedford. Jl.tchell. French Lick. Jasper and Boonvllle to Evansvilie. Rockport is trying hard to switch the lower end to the Bluff city. Indianapolis seems in a measure to have waed,up to this fact although the Board of Trade seems to be a standing wet blanket for nil railroad projects. Indianapolis is also face to face with a failure of natural gas. She must have access to ccal fields by a direct route. The east-and-west roads are congested with through business. The south is where the coal lies. Something that would beat all these schemes is for some really strong company to get hold of the Air-line. It already has the most direct route to Jasper, and any other road would be compelled to parallel It. If the Air-line was financially able to build from Jasper to Indianapolis it would be right in the swim." Boston fc Albany Factions. The rivalry between the factions of the Boston & Albany stockholders, who are divided over the question of the lease of the road by the New York Central, seems to have developed into a struggle for proxies. The protective committee, which opposed the lease, claims to control 136.000 of the 250.000 shares and it is Insisted that the present board of directors will stand or fall on the question of the lease at the annual meeting of the board to-morrow, although it has been agreed to postpone action on the Issue until Nov. 11. President William Bliss, of the Boston & Albany, yesterday denied the statement attributed to the protective commute- that his name would appear at the head of a ticket nominating a board of directors opposed to the lease. Panhandle Statement. The official statement of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis shows for the eight months ending Aug. 31 a surplus over all charges of V'A.ZK, against 1252,519 In the corresponding period ending Aug. 31. 1MM The publication of these figure, fays the Wail-street Journal, has brought out some buying of its stock, on an idea that the policy of the Pennsylvania might have changed in the matter of nutting surplus earnings into the property. The full figures do not altogether Justify this view. Gross arnina for eight months Increased $1,113.-

024. but expenses increased $300,200, or more than a nominal proportion. The remainder of the gain in surplus was due to the fact that charges decreased $187,479. It may, therefore, be assumed that there has been no change In the policy of putting surplus earnings in the road, although It may be the intention of the company to permit dividends on the preferred Mock. Should the contention of the minority stockholders in regard to the kpral interpretation of the articles of incorporation prevail, there would certainly be large earnings for the common stock. The result of thi3 suit will be awaited with interest. It is understood that the Pennsylvania Railroad regards a victory for the minority stockholders as out of the question. Counsel of the minority stock expresses conlidence that the United States Court will sustain Its view.

reraonal, Loral unit General Xotea. II. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four, has returned from the East. T. Dickinson, fonnn.y a locomotive en gineer on the V"t Xlior?. n.'i bo'.-n appointed master mechanic of tho Rutland & radian road. During the state fair the Monon delivered at the grounds 210 carloads of stock, machinery, etc., forty-two more than for the fair last year. General Manager Pomeroy. of the New York Central fast freight lines, was in the city yesterday, en route from St. Louis to Cincinnati. On Sunday the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines took out of Indianapolis eleven well-filled coaches for Madison and ten for Louisville. The official classification committee will meet in New York. Oct. 17. to draft the new and amended classification rule, to take effect the first of next year. Alex. Perris. a colonel In the British army, stationed at Lucknow. India, is in the city visiting his sister, wife of Passenger Conductor McGill, of the Big Four. The Chesapeake & Ohio is erecting at Newport News a grain elevator costing -"A).000 and ap. leva:eJ structural work .? Ricl-mond, Va., costing Sl.SOO.OuO. Harlow C. Vorhees. son of first Vice Pres ident Theodore Vorhees. has been appointed freight agent of the Philadelphia & Reading, with headquarters at New York. George Graves, superintendent of the Indiana, Decatur & Western lines, Mho has been resting at Port Byron. N. Y., for a couple of weeks, will reach home this morning. It is stated that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has dcMcd to build the FhorJ cutoff from Storm lake, to the Iowa & Dakota division at Rock valley. It will require the construction of eighty miles of new road. A circular will be issued to-day appointing Federlck Zimmerman general Eastern freight agent of the Michigan Central, with headquarters in Buffalo. Mr. Zimmerman is rromoted from a clerkship in the general offices. Employes of the Laciuw inna object to being paid in checks, and brought the matter before the attorney general of New York, who decides that payment In checks Is not in compliance with the law and that employes must be paid In cash. An Eastern financial paper says the failure to place young Cornelius Vanderbilt in the directorate of the New York Central is construed as Indicating that William K. Vanderbilt is to have general control of all the Vanderbilt interests in future. Freight officials in Buffalo have been asked to bid on the transportation of 13.ad0.000 baskets of grapes, which will fill about 4.D00 cars. The shipment are from the Brockton district, N. Y. The grapes are shipped to the West as far as Denver, Col. The Republican Iron and Steel Company has dismantled one of its? mills at Alexandria. Ind.. and will ship the old material to Sharon. Pa., as scrap. There were forty carloads and there is quite a strife between the roads to see which will get the business. Coal operators on the Indianapolis & Vlncennes complain of the trouble they experience in getting coal cam It is stated that they would load fifty to seventy-five cars more a day were they furnished. This has always been a great drawback to the operators on the Indianapolis & Vincennes. After all the bluster about the Monon stock changing nazals but 3.120 shares have been sold in the last three days and the stock Is dropping hack to the old figures. The control of the property will not change hand?, said one of the hih officials, unless some syndicate wants it bad enough to pay the, owners" figures. , Indications now are that the controversy between the Chicago & Southeastern and two land owners near Muncle. which de lay the road getting Into Muncie, will be wdlusted this week. The company has decided to build its roundhouse and has pur iha?ed ground, but has done nothing as to a passenger station. The fijcht between Memphis and Burling ton roads over Kansas City-Omaha differ entials has been called off. the presidents of the roads taking a hand in the matter. As a result notice 1h given of the cancellation. vn Oct. 1. of all packing house rates from Kansas City to the Southeast. als from Omaha to Me mphis and points beyond. The Vandalla claims to have the fastest freight service, size of train considered. The train Is hauled by one of the ten-wheel freight engines adapted to either freight or passenger service, hauling thirty loaded cars to a train, leaving Indianapolis at 7 p. m. and reaching St. Louis at fait) a. m.. covering the 240 miles in ten hours and fifty minutes. An Eastern paper says that in the event of Ice President Hall receiving the pref erence for the presidency of the New York. New Haven & Hartford it need not be a surprise if General Manager Stevens, of the Chesapeake & Ohio, is Induced to go with the New Haven road, although Mr. Stevens emphatically says he has no intention of making such a change The loaded car movement on the Big Four system Is now averaging o.aOO a day. ana tnis neavy tramc is being moved with out any congestion. Superintendent Houghton, of the Chicago division, reports an easing up In the car situation which enables the Big Four to come nearer filling its orders for empty cars; still, at way stations, much complaint is heard. The Lackawanna propose to get 'he go.will of editors of newspapers along its line. and to that end has extended to them free transportation to witness the Dewey parade on Friday next. General Passenger Agent Lee says: "It is hoped that those who ac cept this Invitation may not only enjoy the spectacle of the parade, but also the goodfellowship resulting from a reunion of neighborly workers. Leonard's Railway News: "The West hns been stirred up over the announcement th n Western lines are just now seriously thinking of abolishing free passos iuring the year. This is an old, lime-honored project and should not cause needles. i'lr,rm. The pass system has no good reason for its existence, but its abolishment is a thing of the remote future. Let us hear something about advancing rates. The rush of the excursion business now being over the Big Four yesterday com menced taking its passenger coaches into the shops at Brightwood at the rate of five at a time for repainting and general re pairs. About twenty-five of the best coach es will be remodeiei and made full vestl bule. The company now has several f ullvestibule! parsenger trains and they are appreciated by the traveling public. The fast passenger engine of the Monon. No. Ill, came out of the shoos at Lafayette last week, being overhauled and seventv fcur-lnch driving wheels put under it. This engine made its first run over the Monon with the fast express. June 2S. 197. Up to Sept. 1. 1K?9. it had made a trip over the road every day and about two-thirds of the time has doubled the road, running n miles In the twenty-four hours. This, General Superintendent Lowell says, 13 a record It will be difficult to excel. The newest railway employes co-cpera tlve Institution has been started by the cotton-belt men. the employes going into the banking business. Intending to pav -peclal attention to savings deposits. An office will be opened at Pine Bluff, Ark., a capital cf 0.000 Is authorized, and of this amwt J112.000 has been paid In almost exclusively by employes of the Cotton-belt read. It is proposed to pay 4 per cent, annually rn time investments. R. M. Golbraith is president end J. D. Boyce secretary and treasurer of the association. C. F. Daly, general passenger agent of the Lake Erie & Western. Is much elated over the success of their excursion Saturday night from Indianapolis and Intermediate points on their line to Chicago. This road of late years has annually run ore of these excursions, always carrying a good many people, but this year exefeded all others. From Indianapolis proper fully 3.300 people were carried. The train was run in ten sections, the last reaching Chicago at 7 o'clock a. m.. Sundav. From Indianapolis and points beyond nearly 3.0j0 people were carried to Chicago. Incorporations.

CALL LOANS 12 PER CENT.

OXLY SUSTAINED A SHORT TIME BY 3IAMPVLATIOX. Little to Encourage Those In the 'ew York Stock Exchange "Who Believed in Enitler Conditions. At New York yesterday money on call was firm at SVzfilS per cent., the last loan being made at 6 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 536 per cent. Sterling exchange firmer, with actual bus iness in bankers bills at $tKv8tjl.K for demand and at S4.S1T4.&2 for sixty days; posted rates, $4.83 and II.SGU; commercial bills, $1.81. Silver certificates, 5DtI59ic; tar silver, 5Sic; Mexican dollars, 474 c. At London bar silver was l-16d higher at 27Ud per ounce. Students of New York stock market cy cles have observed that a violent movement In either direction is certain to overrun it self. Thus, the forced liquidation of the last few weeks has excited a horde of bear followers. When the liquidation had spent its force the short contracts of the bears were left overcovered and the demand from that source worked a sharp rally. In the normal course of things a period of dullness was due, and it arrived on time yesterday. With money still light no new speculative demand Is to be expected Immediately. On the other hand, speculative accounts on the long side have been pretty well shaken out and the bears are rather chary of making venturesome incursions into grounds that do not promise large returns. But stagna tion of demand means declining prices. though the progress may be but slow. The conviction is not strong that the process of loan contraction is completed entirely. A study of the detailed statement of the clear ing house banks reveals the fact that the surplus is made up of the holdings of a few of the clearing house Institutions, while the majority of them are still below their legal reserves. There was a sharp reminder of this condition of affairs in the last hour of the trading yesterday, when call loans were suddenly marked up to 12 per cent. The quickness with which they receded, however, to 6 per cent, again gave the high er rate the appearance or being manipulated. Borrowers sometimes hold off till late in the day in a hope of getting better terms, but yesterday they found offerings largely curtailed, while their necessities were still unsatisfied. The rate was down to 52 per cent, earlier In the day. Hie flurrv in the last hour caused the most active 'selling of stocks of the day. Those who reason that the point has been turned towards easier money conditions found-little In the day s occurrences to encourage them. New lork exchange was heavy at practically all Important interior points and shipments to the interior continue. The New York subtreasury also continues to abs-orb funds from the banks. The lame supply ot gold certificates now available, far from, improving conditions in New York, rather aggravates them, as it simply facilitates the movement to the interior. A firmer tone of sterling exchange precluded hopes of an early gold movement. Discounts In Berlin stiffened sharply and sterling exchange there fell a fraction. Discounts in London responded with a rise of a fraction. No marked strength was manifest in stocks at any time during the day, in spite of the bidding up of Brooklyn Transit and Leather preferred. The specialties show the " sharpest lo"ses, reaching between two and four points In a number of Instances. In the railroads the grangers were most affected, but a number of other representative stocks are down as much an a point. Bonds were not as weak as stocks, as there were a number of firm spots in the. market. The total sale?, par value, were Jl.2i0.C0O. United States twos declined onequarter and the old fours registered advanced one-eighth In the bid price. Following is a list of stock sales, with the closing bids: Closing Sales. bid.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE. Trade Opens Active, tvlth Stendr and Firm Prices. On the wholesale streets and on Commission row yesterday there was a good deal of activity, Some cf the activity was, of course, due to filling delayed orders taken during state fair week. Still mail orders were quite liberal. The traveling salesmen, most of whom rtmained in last week, started out yesterday morning, expecting to have a brisk week's trade. This class of business men say they do not remember a time in years when it has been so easy to sell goods. One reason is that the retail merchants are in much better phane financially and another is that on nearly all lines of staple articles the tendency Is for higher prices, and the retail merchants for that reason do not hesitate to buy quite libera uy. in prices tonlnv tber wfrf no Important chance, although In some lines of dry goods an aavance in iw ri future is propabie. un t-ommissnon row me receipts of fruits and vegetables are quite large, cm vttvi an a t I va Hemnnd there Is no large ac cumulation.

WHEAT WAS STRONGER

RALLIED FROM THE OPENING WEAKNESS EARLY IX THE DAY. Heavy During Order Received from Sonthwrnt and Cnr Were ScarceOther Grnlna Strong: In Sympathy. CHICAGO, Sept. 23. With the exception of a short period of weakness early in the session wheat was strong to-day and closed at Tsflc advance for December, and !Vc for September. The strength of corn, a email visible Increase, and a recovery in cables helped, but the strength was mainly In Increased trade and timidity of the bear crowd. Corn was strong and advanced c Oats advanced HSVc and provisions closed unchanged to higher. The opening In wheat was weak, with no especial important trade. Both local professionals and outsiders were sellers in a moderate way, and for a short time prices showed a drooping tendency and ranged slightly below Saturday's close. The weakness was mainly on account of a decline at Liverpool, though this was expected to follow Saturday's decline here. Receipts at most- Western primary points were heavj though they did not reach last year's totaL This fact, however, was lost sight of for the time being. The narrowness of trade at first rendered the market susceptible to trivial factors, but later cables showed a complete recovery from the opening decline. with a slight advance in some futures. This was a cue for local traders, and prices immediately felt the effect on the Increased buying. As the session progressed, trading became much broader and more general. Heavy buying orders came from the South west, St. Louis sending bullish dispatches concerning demand from country millers and failing supplies. Scarcity of cars was reported In the Duluth region, with a heavy flour business. The visible supply state ment, which was expected to show a heavy increase, fell short of exnertatinns hv a long ways, the increase being but 400,000 Dusneis. ine gradual advance In prices brought early sellers into the market, but little wheat was offered for sale, the bear crowd being apparently timid about selling in tne present condition of the market and prices were bid up sharply before offerings became liberal enough to supply the demand. The market srot well above calls, and sellings against those privileges checked the advance for e time, but near the close of the session shorts again bid pxlcea up sharply and the close was strong at close to top figures. Minneapolis and Duluth re ceipts were 1.391 cars, against 1,452 last week and 1,603 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 232 cars, two of contract grade. Total primary receipts were 1,534.000 bushels, com pared with 1.792,000 bushels last year. At lantlc port clearances -of -wheat and flour aggregated 776,000 bushels. The seaboard re ported only nineteen loads engaged for ex port, but was a good buyer in this mar ket. World's shipments were 7,500.000 bushels, or about 1,000,000 bushels over estimated weekly requirements. December wheat opened HfiUc lower at 72Hc. It sold at 72c, then advanced to 73c. A reaction to 72c was followed by a steady advance to 73rc, the market closing at 2ic. September closed HSc higher at 74c. A feature of the late advance was the strength of corn. Nervousness over September corn shorts had considerable Influence on wheat s-pecu lators. Corn was active and strong, after a short period of easiness at the opening. The weakness was mostly in sympathy with wheat. Receipts were heavy and local stocks increased 1,069,000 bushels;, but this did not affect prices. Shorts In September were evidently apprehensive of a corner and were active bidders all day. The price reached S5c. for there was plenty for sale and the advance was checked. Deferred futures were strong in sympathy and good advances were scored all around. Receipts were 1.657 cars. September ranged from 34c to 3oc, and closed higher at 3Tc. December ranged from 29?ic to SO'ic and closed fic higher at 4c. Not much was done in oats.. The market was easy early, following other grain mar kets. but later firmed up and closed at a slight advance. Trading wa? exceedingly narrow all day and mostly of a scalping order. The cash demand was only fair. Re ceipts were 452 cars. December ranged jrom 22c to X.WiZ?jc, and closed fttfttc higher at 22Tc. Frovisions were quiet but steady. The meat market showed easiness with grain at the start, but another good advance in meats at Liverpool and the later strength of grain markets resulted in a recovery of the slight declines and small advances were scored In some product. 1 nere was moaerate selling of general products by packers. At the close, January pork was SQTic higher at $?.S0; January lard unchanged at $5.52Vi and January ribs 2Q5c higher at JRsn"mated Receints for Tuesday Wheat, corn and oats not reported: hogs. 23,000 head.

Antl-Trnst Lire Stock Market. Indianapolis, Ind.. Sept. 2S. 1$9. Recelrts of hoga all around the past week hav been light In facu much lighter than wa anticipated and the markets shade stronger on all grades. Thera la a verr strong demand for fresl product, especially in the lat. ana strong oruens In the West, as the Eastern markets ara not getting ar.ywars near enough to supply tbe demand. We could have used about all the hoga here IX w could have pot them, but you are aware that th Trust, cr combine of commission men. has not eold ua anything for m. rear. In their organization they have a fine of $100 cn anyone mat aoea any bus'lnesa with us. There are three-fourths cf tha firms that would be rlaJ to do business with urn. but they do not want to pay $;oo fine for every sale they make to us. J. Davis r co., a iewi month ago. had the courage to break away frcm the Trust, and we Hare t&ken cat of them ever since. They, with a number of others, are goina to the new yards, where there win ne no flne Imposed on anyone that do business honorably. Everyone will be invited to come there) with his stock, and sell It himself, or come tber and bur stock, and. all commission men that want to come there and embark tn business can coro there, without paring $500 Into the Tru?t treasury. When a buyer buya stock there he will get what he bought. A week before we were put out ot business we bought 10.(KO pounds of light hogs, which were telling at 10c per hundred more than, heavies, and when, the weigh ticket came In for collection we found they had weighed ua 29.0X pounds, and the same day we bought 12.000 pound and got 26.000 rounds. The very chairman of tha committee that waited on us that wanted ua to weigh on scales that we knew were not correct, and we have good reason to believe they knew1 they were not correct, was seen turning In a hor after we had sorted them, and we wanted to know what he was doing. "He said we bad missed one." AU this kind of lrregularltr baa) been encouraged. In place of being discouragwd, by the bosses. The new yard company has prom ised to be open for business on Tiday, ept- zr. which we have no doubt they will be. We will endeavor to notify you a few days before they open, by mall. We quote to-day: Choice mediums ana neavies, with a dock. $4.67 to $4.80. and 150c to 180s at $4.67 to $4.M; mixed light Yorkers, with phr In 110 pounds up, $4.60 to $4.70.
