ROAD LED CARRYING TIIK LARGEST TO XX AGE OF A.W TIME IX ITS HISTORY. Biff Four Official Anxlons Leaf Antomn Earnings Fall Dehlnd Tliose of Same Month) of 1808. On Saturday the rittsbunr. Fort Wayne & Chicago road carried the heaviest business In the history of the line. There was not an idle hit of motive power, and train crews -worked hard and overtime. When the Sunday clearinpr-up began on the eastern division there were accumulations that tested the capacity of all the big yards between Crestline and Pittsburg. Thousands of loaded freight cars were on the road. The tig Conway yards, with a capacity of 2.M0 cars, were crowded. The Alliance, Canton and Crestline yards were also substantially full. Besides the extra business coming to the road, a shortage of motive power has been responsible for the accumulations. Ten new moguls were received for use on the Fort Wayne from the Altoona shops. These locomotives are among the largest ever turned out of the Altoona shops and the ten received by the Fort Wayne are understood to be loaned so as to relieve the immense movement of freight. The big movement on the Fort Wayne, on Sunday, was also felt by other divisions. To avoid needless car shortage by allowing shippers to hold cars given them as long as they wish, tho Panhandle has assigned some of its men to the duty of watching these car and to hurry their loading and unloading. It is a new position, temporary, perhaps, occasioned by the shortage of cars, and those doing the work are expected to facilitate things and to relieve the work of trainmasters and freight agents. Railroad managers have sent out numerous circulars, to freight men urging that this plan be watched carefully. On some of the roads the lost-car man. whose duties Include those of the new positions on the Panhandle, has been a regular employe. The rush on the "West Pennsylvania In freight has caused every piece of reserve motive power to be pressed into service. On Saturday three new class H 3" locomotives were pressed into service. These are big freight engines, being the largest of the Pennsylvania, a short time ago. when they were known as Class "It." The Fort Wayne road, last week, carried . 18.9 per cent, of the eastbound tonnage out of Chicago, leading all other roads. In Danger of Collapse. The Western Passenger Association Is in the midst of anqther crisis, a crisis which may result in its dissolution. Unless the St. Paul line can be induced to return to the fold It is predicted the members of the organization will ignore the rate-maintaining principles of the association and offer competition to that line and the roads which never have been identified with the association. Members of the association, who are meeting in Chicago this week, believe that a preservation of rates wlll.be an Impossibility unless the St. Paul line re-establishes its membership. The Chicago-St. Paul lines met yesterday for the purpose of deVising some means whereby the St. Paul can be induced to re-enter the association. The matter was left unsettled and. the rep- ' resentative of one line expressed himself as having but little hope that It would be satisfactorily settled at this meeting of the association. The threatened collapse of the association may be avoided if all the outside lines become members of the organization. The Milwaukee & St. Paul, the strong line without the fold, agreed to come into the organization, provided the Wisconsin Central, Great Western and Minneapolis & St. Louis lines do likewise. When this proposition was submitted the Great Western voted to agree, subject to approval of the president, as did the Wisconsin Central representative, and the vote of the Minneapolis & St. Louis was withheld. R. S. M. R. A. Convention. There were loO members of the United States Railway Service Mutual Benefit Association present at St. Louis yesterday when President Brown called the twenty-fourth annual convention to order. Mayor Ziegenhein welcomed the delegates and addresses were also delivered by ex-Mayor C P. Walbrldge and Postmaster Baumhoff. President Brown responded. The report of the treasurer was submitted.. It shows a memMxship of 4.2rt), a gain of eighty-eight In the year. There Is a reserve fund of J120.5S2.43. Benefits to the amount of 178,00 were paid the past year. The expenses- or the year, including the collection of twelve assessments, amounted to a little over Tho board of directors presented a report which was an argument against suggested reforms, on the ground that the affairs of the organization are now administered as economically as consistent. The medical department was criticised for not exercising more care In the admission of members whose health Is not good. It was shown that of the forty deaths last year ten died of consumption. The remainder of the session was devoted to discussing features of representatives and minor matters. DIrt Four Earnlngn. Heads of departments of the Big Four are watching' with more than ordinary Interest the earnings from week to week, as last fall they were large beyond all precedent, reaching. In September, 11,452,754. exceeding all former earnings in any one month. In October they were $1,320,025: in November. J1.S1.472. and in December, $l.3.75.71. It will be difficult for the freight and passenger men to meet these earnings of the months named this year. However, the first two weeks of September, this year, an Increase In earnings was shown. The company has some advantages this year. Hates are better and cars are being loaded nearer to their capacity. The company has adopted a new plan to ascertain whether cars are loaded to their capacity. All agents are instructed, every night, to send in reports of the number of cars loaded at their respective stations, the commodity with which they are loaded, and the tonnage of the cars, and if It fall short of capacity there will be trouble for the agent unless a very reasonAble excuse is forthcoming. a a Ratew for Laborers. Passenger representatives of Chicago's initial lines to the South held a meeting In Chicago yesterday and decided to make a labor rate from this city to points on their lines, the rate to become effective Oct. 1. The rate to the gulf ports will be about 116.:) and will be In effect until about March 1. At present there are manv Southern laborers working In Chicago. They came up In the early spring with the intention of returning when the cool weather set in. The?e men are needed in the South now and In view of that fact the road- will crant the rate. In the great pine belt of Georgia and Alabama many lumbermen and foresters are needed and In the plantation tlintrict the interests are suffering for wart of laborer Much work Is to be done on the Ml.iippi levees and the Southern railroad? this winter and many of tho Southern workingmen now In Chicago have contracted to assist In accomplishing it. I'ersonal, Loral and General .Notes. Frank A. WlMon. president of the Maine Central, has sent In his resignation. The business of the Indiana. Decatur & Western has so increased that ;he company

finds it must put In additional sidetracks and lengthen sidetracks, at meeting points. Tha Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will remove its headquarters to Cleveland. The promotion is announced of J. G. O'Herne. to be master mechanic of the Lake Erie & Wheeling.

GeneralTrelght and Pase;:er Agent Adsit, or the StJoepn & uranci i3ianu, was in tie city yesterday. The Wabash on Monday received two more large freight locomotives from the Rhode Island works, making seventeen received since Sept. 1. George II.

McLeod, assistant general freight agent of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, who has been on a trip to California, is expected home on Friday. N. K. Elliott, formerly superintendent of the Vandalla. now Interested In zinc mines near Joplln. Mo., has made a success financially through his venture. The Erie Railway Company, which has heretofore paid no attention to handling furniture, has decided to build 200 furniture cars of the largest pattern. District Passenger Agent Algeo, of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, is in Cincinnati to-day for h conference with Passenger Traffic Manager Edwards. To-morrow a party of thirty-one Indlanlans will leave over the Panhandle for Montana on a hunting expedition, going to noted hunting grounds on the Northern Pacific. D. G. Carson has been appointed master car builder of the Buffalo. Rochester & Pittsbure. Mr. Carson has sixty carpenters under him, and in service Is a veteran on the road. The Southern Indiana road is filing deeds at county seats along its line for property It has secured as a right of way into Terre Haute. The company pays cash for the right of way t purchases. George T. Gunnlp. who represents the Santa Fe in this territory, says that by New Year's the company will be running trains through from Chicago to San t ranclsco over its own tracks. The American Society of Railroad Super intendent. will hold its annual meeting in New York Oct. 10. and on the 11th the American Railway Association will hold its semi-annual convention at New York. fharlp IT "Pllr who wn one of the oldest conductors In time of service on the Michigan Central, was buried in Jackson. Mich., on Sunday. He was prominent in the organization of the Order of Railway Conuutiurs. A novel boycott has been instituted at Chicago, the ticket scalpers refusing to handle the tickets of one of the local lines, assorting that It has not paid its agreed commissions, which amount to J3.0iK). to different members of the Brokers Association. The Wabash has planned for a number of improvements at Peru. Ind. The roundhouse at that point will be enlarged to hold seventeen engines, a new coal chute will be erected and tracks are being laid to the ground on which a new freighthouse will be erected. II. G. Stiles, general agent for this territory of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, says that notwithstanding the heavy ton nage they are now handling on the Indian apolis division, which is in excess of any former period, could he get the cars he could do 50 per cent, more business. Oscar G. Murray, first vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio, is pending the company's check renewing the membership of the -.company in the several railroad branches of the Young Men 9 Cnrlstlan Association, which the company has for some years been aiding financially. A. Robertson, acting superintendent of the middle division of the Wabash, has Deen appointed superintendent 11. W. Ballou has been appointed trainmaster of the ninth and thirteenth districts, vice A. Robertson, pro moted. J. w. Evans has been appointed trainmaster of the sixth, seventh and eighth districts, vice H. W. Ballou transferred. The Pennsylvania finding a need of more passenger eirglnes because of the rapid increase in business, will, it is said, build a number of engines still larger than the pres ent Class L machines. The company wants to do away with the necessity of running double-headers, and the only way Is to have engines capable or hauling heavy trains. The presidents of the trunk lines and Central Passenger Association are having considerable trouble to secure a well-at tended meeting. A meeting was first called for Sept. 21. but it was found advisable to change the date to the 26th, and now the meeting has again been postponed Inden nitely. The holidays In New York were one of the reasons that led to the post ponement, , - The monthly report of the voluntary relief denartment of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg for August shows benefits paid as follows: Deaths by accident, 7, J2.7oO; natural. 8. $..250; disablement by accident. 523. J7.283.5!); by sickness, 643, J3.1W.40; total benehts, 123,477.90; total since July. 1, 1S89. to Aug. 31. 1899. death benefits by acci dent, 394. J232.507.19: natural, 1,168. J717.364.45; disablement benefits by accident, 44,673, J686.2O6.10; by sickness, 67,953, JS61.507.47. It is stated that on no road in the country are there as many employes who have been in the service as many years as on the Baltimore & Ohio, and when the order of General Manager Underwood providing for service stripes becomes effective the age of some of the conductors will be a surprise. A gold stripe will mean five years of service and a silver stripe two years. Some of the Baltimore & Ohio conductors will be en titled to from seven to nine gold stripes. A circular will he i?sued to-day by George I, uraohury. president and general man ager of the Lake Erie & Western, appoint lng R. M. Case assistant general passenger agent. Mr. case has for some years been chief clerk of C. F. Daly, general passenger agent of the road, and is also secretary of the local passenger association. Mr. Case began his railroad career on the New York Central, under George H. Daniels, who considers him an unusually competent pas senger man.' Recently the manager of one of the trunk lines had to refuse an offer of $150,000 clean 'money offered by an advertising firm. The agent wanted the use of all the box cars on the road for displaying bills and signs or manufacturing and mercantile concerns. It was a tempting offer to refuse, but, fear lng that the Innovation would finally dis figure every car on the road and make it impossible for the trainmen to read the numbers, the official declined with thanks. It is said that many such propositions have been made to railroad officials, but have been refused on grounds that paper pasted on sides of cars adds to the expense of re pairing, makes the cars look like billboards and conceals the numbers and Initials.

MONEY BOUNDED UPWARD

LAST CALL LOAX IX XEW YORK WAS SO PER CEXT. Statements of Railroad Earnings Added to a Strong; Undertone Local Trade Good Prices Stiff. At New York, yesterday, money on call was strong at Gfi20 per cent., the last loan being made at 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, Per centSterling exchange was steady, with actual business in bankers' bills at Jl.SGtH.S for demand and at J4.814 4.81Ti for sixty days; posted rates, J4.W and J4.86; commercial bills. J4.S164.81U. Silver certificates, 60c; bar silver, 5Sc; Mexican dollars, 47Uc. At London bar silver was unchanged at 27Hd an ounce. The stock market continued dull and list less in character yesterday. Several favorable incidents imparted an undertone of strength and discouraged operations for a decline, but the soaring tendency of the money rate discouraged all speculative de mand on the long side and the day closed with nearly all stocks showing losses. The incident which attracted most attention was the engagement In London of Jl.000,000 In gold for New York. Prices rose to the high est on this announcement and for a num ber of stocks reached a level above Mon day's close. iMoney, however, rose upward by quick stages to 20 per cent., and the heaviness of the market was renewed. The gold engagement, in face of the firmness of exchange, is obviously based on the expectation that the money rate will continue high until the receipt of the gold here, when the profit of the loaning rate may make good the loss Involved In the simple im portation. The course of the local money market yesterday contradicts the assertions made Monday that the higher rate was due to manipulation. The present and pros pective condition of the money marKet is undeniably light. Rates advanced not only at New York, but at other domestic points both East and West. New York exchange at other points shows continued pressure on this center. The announcement tnat more gold is on the way from Australia to San Francisco had no effect, the promisea relief being so remote. The fact of a three days' holiday approaching had its influence also on the prevailing dullness. The weakness in foreign stocK markets was an influence in New York only indirectly and so far as It was a deterrent to gold imports. The series of railroad statements which ap peared yesterday was a real and effective prop to the market and undoubtedly induced some good buying from substantial interests such as are not dependent on borrowed money. The overnight statement of St. Paul for the third week in September showing an increase over last year's unprecedented level of $52,000, led the list. Even more striking was the statement or the Atchison system for August, showing an increase in the income from operations or 5708,823, a result in large part due to the heavy decrease In operating expenses, in the cases of the Erie and the Southern RailWay, in spite of liberal increases in operat ing expenses there was an increase in net earnings for the former of J221.3ii2 and for the latter of 130,3o. Business on an tne trunk lines was reported on an unprece dented scale. These facts gave the under tone of firmness to the market, the stocks especially affected being those whose reports were published. The day's net declines reached a point In only a few cases. A number of the industrial specialties were at one time 1 to 34 points below last night. but covering by the snorts worKea a partial rally. Brooklyn Transit continued very active, though American Tobacco exceeded it and was well sustained after an early de cline, rising to a point over yesterday and closing with a net gain. The bond market was dull and prices were lower. Total sales, par value, $1,320,000. United States twos advanced old fours, coupon, i and the new fours H in the bid price.

On the wholesale streets and on Commission row the activity of last week and of Monday was still apparent, and present-Indications are that the volume of business for September, 1899. will be largely In excess of September, 1898. if not larger than in any month in the business career of our wholesale houses. Especially are the dry goods houses, the hat and cap dealers, the milliners, the confectioners and grocers crowded with business. The latter, however, have for months past been doing the largest business, say the oldest wholesale grocers, since Indianapolis made any pretense of being a , jobbing center. Eggs and poultry are in good request at the prices quoted. The flour market is quieter at unchanged prices. Provisions are moving mora freely and a tendency to better prices.

LOWER PRICES QUOTED

PROFIT TAKING THE FEATURE OF ALL GRA1X MARKETS. Wheat and Corn Dropped In Conse quence Out Advanced, Rut Later Declined to Openlncr Quotation. CHICAGO, Sept. 26. Profit-taking was the feature of all the grain markets to-day and material declines In wheat and corn resulted. Oats closed unchanged. December wheat declined 4c and September wheat c. Corn closed He lower. Provisions closed with Insignificant changes both ways. Opening prices in wheat showed practical ly no change from. yesterday's closing fig ures. Trading was light at first, with tho professional element inclined to sell on the theory that the recent advance had about reached its climax. Commission houses had fair buying orders from the country. Early statistical news was decidedly bullish and soon after the opening a marked falling off in offerings took place, with an increase in the demand and a fair advance resulted. Some nervousness was shown by September shorts and the spread between September and December widened at one time to lc. Rumors were current of a squeeze In Sep tember wheat and an increase of only 433,000 bushels in the contract stocks tended to increase the uneasiness of shorts. Nevertheless the professional element continued to sell and though offerings were well absorbed for some time the short selling and profit-taking ultimately weighted down the market and in the afternoon prices slowly declined. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 929 cars, against 1.3S5 cars last week and 1,716 cars a year ago. Chicago receipts were 52S cars, eight of contract grade. Pri mary total receipts were 1,196,000 bushels, compared with 1,727,000 bushels a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour aggregated 541,000 bushels. The seaboard re ported 29 loads taken for export. Bradstreefs report on the world's visible suddIv made the increase 3.335.000 bushels. This was much larger than was looked for and the market soon after its announce ment became heavy, with increased general selling. Liverpool was strong and $jc higher. This had considerable lnnuence on the early strength. December opened a shade lower at 734"3Hc. It advanced irregularly to 73c and later declined to 7Sc, closlhg at that price. September sold be tween 74c and 7Hc and closed ftc lower at 74c. Cnrrt trn a milt nHv The market parlv was stronjr. principally in sympathy with wheat. There was plenty or long corn ror sale, holders of December and May espe cially taking profits. September was offered liberally at 35c by concerns supposed to be bl(t holders. The market was heavy late in the session with prices gradually declining under liberal selling. Receipts were 1.11S cars. The seaboard demand was sharp. December ranged from 30c to 30c and closed hie lower at 30c. September ranged from 34c to 35c and closed yc lower at 344c. Oats in a general way followed other pralri markets with a good-sized trade. Early a good advance took place and good! general buying, but later profit-taking, which started whwi other markets turned downward. Tesulted in a loss of all the ad vance. The market received support from heavy clearances. The receipts were 273 cars. The cash demand was good and 200,000 bushels were taken here for shipment. Provisions, in the main, were firm, with fair trade. Heavy sales of lard for export were reported, which made packers large buyers of October product and resulted in a steady market all around. There was a disposition to sell January on tne small rallies. Liverpool reported 6d advance on hams and bacon. At the close January pork was unchanged at $3.7o; January lard. zWw Sc higher at $5. 55 5. 57 and January ribs Zc lower at 15.10.
