The tteven months Mr. Underwood has pent in directing the operating department cf the Baltimore & Ohio Is too short a time a demonstrate his capability as a railroad man. The second year of his jurisdiction "will bring out in stronger relief the meth ods he has introduced and the improve ments suggested. At present the innova lion due to him is that which is called 'single-shovel firing." In other words, it Is Hrlng engines lightly. Mr. Underwood has a corps of traveling enginemen whose duty It is to instruct tho engineers and firemen in the care of their machines. The result is a. saving to the road In the cost or fuel ana increased comfort to travelers. Tne Dene . flcial effect is noticeable where the engines hurn soft cal entirely. One or these, fired ty a man who has been through the course of instruction, w 11 cive little or no smoke. Jt is estimated that 10 per cent, will an nually oe saved by this new metnou. air. Underwood also introduced on the Baltl more & Ohio the pooling system of hand ling locomotives. Under this method the engines do much more service than under the old. when the machine went to the roundhouse at the end of the crew's run and did not come out until the crew did. w the locomotives make much longer trios and the men make the same hours as formerly. The tralnload in July on the first division of the Baltimore & Ohio was 439 tons and on the second 3S1 tons. The for mer figures compare favorably with- those of other roads. For instance, the average tralnload of the Chesapeake & Ohio for the .year ending June 30 was 423 tons, and this read is exceptionally favored with a straight route to the sea, which makes rauling heavy trains comparatively easy. 'Another Advance Contemplated. Freight traffic men are arranging to make another advance on billets, pig iron and other commodities, taking the same rates throughout the territories of the Central Freight and Trunk-line associations. The advance has been outlined to take effect the first of next year. It has been approved by the various freight committees that took Initial action which advanced the rates on these commodities on July 1. Advances aupplemental to those of July 1 are to be come effective from Pittsburg to Lake Erie ports on Nov. 1. The advance proposed, while material, is not a sharp one. at least no more so than was the advance of July 1. . The rates proposed to become effective Jan. J-on carload shipments of fifteen ctoss tons nre $3 per ton on billelts, Chicago to New York: $4.70 on pig iron. Chicago to New York. The rate3 proposed from Pittsburg to Chicago and to New York are $3 per ton on billets and $2.80 on pig iron. The advance is about equal, on the whole, to that of July 1. The present Chicaeo-New York basis Is $4.90 on pig iron, while the rates jrom nttsDurg to unicago ana Pittsburg to New York are $180 on billets and $2.50 on pig iron. There is scarcely a doubt but the Central Freight and Trunk-line associations will approve the rates, possibly at xneir next mommy meeting. Will Not Go to War. President Fish, of the Illinois Central, was in Omaha yesterday. "What will be the attitude of your road, toward the Union Taclflc and the Chicago & Northwestern?" he was asked. "Our position here," replied President Fish, "will be the same as it is everywhere else. We came here to com pete for business. We expect to secure our snare of it. but we do not propose to In augurate any war of rates. We are always prepared to ngnt. or course, but 1 do not anticipate anything of that character here." "It has been generally understood that the relations between the Union Pacific and -Northwestern have heretofore been very Close," was suggested. . "Yes," replied Mr. Fish, "and I do not anticipate that the present conditions will necessarily be disturbed. We are In position to handle certain kinds of freight to better advantage than the Northwestern, we will reach territory in the South which the Northwestern does not touch. On the other hand, the Northwestern reaches ter ritory which we do not and will be able to handle some kinds of freight to better ad vantage tnan we can." Midland Extensions Under Way. . The Chicago & Southeastern, better known as the Indiana Midland, yesterday received at Anderson the rolling stock for Its new Muncle extension, and also pur chased In fee simple the properties blocking their entrance to the city limits of Muncle. It now has a clear right of way to the depot and will go through the residence portion or me city over tne tracks of the L. E. & W. Superintendent Moore expects to be running trains in In two weeks.

Van Winkle, general superintendent of the Big Four, favors letting time schedules stand from year to year unchanged. The traveling public will soon learn the schedules and will appreciate their stability. Tracks and power are now in such condition that weather plays a very Insignificant part in checking the movement of passenger trains. In the winter one or . two less cars are hauled to a train, which is an advantage in the way of not disturbing timetables. The officials of the coal roads'in this State and Ohio say that the report sent out from Toledo to the effect that the lake coal rate was to be advanced is a mistake. An effort along that line was made, but it met with defeat. It seems that last spring, when the Hocking Valley was disturbing rates, it Introduced a rate far below what the other lines were granting. The other lines met it rpr a time, and then all restored tariff. While the rate was down the Hocking Valley made a number of contracts covering the entire year, and hence cannot now raise the rate because it has contracted to carry more coal than its equipment will allow. This action has hampered the other roads so that they are almost powerless, and any effort to advance rates. must necessarily meet with defeat. There have been several efforts to push the rates up, but the result has always been failure. VITAL STATISTICS- SEPT. 29. BlrthN. James H. and Annie George, 1317 East Nineteenth street, girl.

B,REAK IN THE MARKET

WIDK RANGE IX CHICAGO TRICES, CLOSING AT DECLINES. Effect of the Senntlonnl Rulare in N'ew Orleans Cotton Local Valuex Harden Considerably. CHICAGO, Sept. 29. September trading was prominent In all the grain markets today, and prices covered a remarkably wide ransc. Heavy covering by shorts In corn advanced September nearly 2c, but It closed at .;c decline. September wheat broke 2q cn liberal offerings; December closed Uc lower; oats closed Uc lower for September, and a shade lower for December. The excitement In the New Orleans cotton market caused free covering by shorts early in the day. Provisions closed unchanged to 5c lower. Early trading in wheat was without feature. The market opened at practically unchanged values, and for some time kept within an extremely narrow range, with what little trading there was doing confined principally to scalpers. A bullish sentiment was shown by traders, and before 11 o'clock the market had become fairly active. No important advance occurred, however, until the New Orleans cotton market was put into a state of excitement by bogus cables, and the wideness of prices there waa sym-j-athized in by wheat shorts, the deferred futures scoring a good advance on free covering. The critical state of affairs In the Transvaal had some Influence, though there was some disappointment over the eMght advance at Liverpool. Light primary leceipts also attracted a good deal of at tention, increasing the belief that winter wheat supplies were low. An active demand was reported for flour from both the United Kingdom and the continent. The market was strong and active until late in the sessicn. Shortly before the close the market became weak, and prices declined rapidly. An increase in the stocks at Minneapolis and Duluth, Indicating a good increase In the visible next week, was a factor toward the end. when it became known that the New Orleans cotton advance was bogus, general selling and disquiet resulted. September was not heard much of until near the close, when from a premium of lc it dropped to a cent discount on free offerings by long Interests. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were W9 cars, against 94S last week, and 1.266 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 361 cars, one of contract grade. Total primary receipts were 974,000 bushels, compared with l.f42.(K a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 273.000 bushels, light on account of the New York holiday. December opened unchanged at 73c. It advanced to 74gc during the excitement over cotton, and declined to 73fv738c. closing at that price. September fold as high as 747c, ana declined to s372ct where it closed. Corn was nervous and irregular, the market, like wheat, being affected by the New Orleans cotton excitement. Shorts were heavy bidders for September early in the session, and prices advanced sharply. Late futures followed the advance to a certain extent, though inclined to drag a little on the prospects of an early marketing of the new crop. When the artificial caue of tho New Orleans advance became known there v.as a general letting go. and prices dropped rapidlv. the market becoming heavy toward the close. Receipts were 906 cars. The cash deJiand was reported good. December ranged from 25"jc to 30c, and closed .lower at 30c. September ranged from 22c to 34Uc and closed lie lower at 32ic. Oats, in a general way. followed the other grain markets. Trading was influenced pcmewhat by the cotton Jump. September advancing 9e early on free covering by shorts, the deferred futures also acting strong. Everything turned weak late In the session, early buyers selling freely, and the market closed easy nt declines. Receipts wfre L9 cars. The cash situation had some influence on earlv trading. December ranged from 22,i'j22c to 231Rc, and closed a shade lower at 227sC September ranged from 22ic to 22"tc. and closed c lower at 224 c Provisions were rather dull and Irregular. Some strength was shown early with the grain market, but later liquidation of long stuff resulted in slight declines in pork and ribs. The weakness at the stockyards had some effect. At the. close January pork was 5c lower at $3.7.": January lard unchanged at $G.6212. and January ribs 2c lower at $T.10.

The Boston Cbmmercla Bulletin will say to-morrow of the wool market: The wool market this week, fortified by a stead llr advancing. Market In London, ha presented a very firm front. Prices have been raised to correspond with the advance abroad and have been maintained with a doggedness that has had a tendency to somewhat reduce the volume of sales. although this week's sale reach no small figure. The bulk ot the sales were made prior to Monday, since when there has been a rather quiet but firm market. This, despite the exceedingly bullish news from London, where it is asserted that we have pot begun to appreciate the state of things yet on this side. The high rates obtaining on money recently have undoubtedly aerved to re

duce the buylnr on speculation. At every pclot there is the same pervading firmness noticeable, with holders quite content to wait until buyers come to their terms, as they have previously. Sales cf the week were 6.C11.000 lbs domestic and rsC.OCO lbs foreign, a total of 6.S97.000 lbs for this week, against a total of 10.920.9W lbs last week and a total of 1.367.OC0 lbs for the corresponding week last year. The receipts to date fhow an Increase of 2S4.1C4 lbs domestic, a decrease of 31,721 lbs foreign against last year.

LOCAL GRAIX AD TRODICE. Cold Weather Is Increasing Trade Handftoniely Price Very Firm. On the wholesale streets and on Commission row the activity which has prevailed for some days past Increases with each day. The cooler weather evidently brings the stimulant needed to give snap to the trade, the dry goods houses. the milliners, the hat and cap dealers, confec tioners and merchants on Commission row being the most benefited. Hardly an article can be named on which there is not a tendency to a hardening of prices. This ts especially noticeable In dry goods, leather, poultry, eggs and fruits. The flour market, the provision market and the bide market are In strong position at recent advances. The coal market Im becoming very active, and an advance in prices of all kinds of coal between now and Oct. 1 is assured. ay local coal dealers. The seed market is active and prices firm at the advance of Tuesday. Other lines are without special feature. The local grain market shows a little more activity, and as the local car situation Is salt to be easing up somewhat larger receipts are looked

fer. All cereals are In active request at the following range of prices, as furnished by the sec

The attorneys who represent the Marlon Trust Company In the Washington Savings and Loan Association receivership are preparing to bring several suits which will probably have to go to the Supreme Court for final settlement. The Marion Trust Company, as receiver of the "Washington Saving and Loan Association, will be the plaintiff. The suits will be brought for the purpose cf trying to recover dividends which it is alleged have been Illegally Issued. The receiver for the Washington Savings and Loan Association was appointed lat summer, about three months after the association had consolidated with the Equitable State Budding and Loan and the Commercial Building and Loan Association. The attorneys have permission of the court to bring these suits and one of them will be filed probably within the Tiext lew days. It Is claimed the above-named associations before the consolidation were in the habit of declaring 8 and 10 per cent, dividends when they really had no funds from which dividends could be properly paid. Theee dividends. It is averred, were paid out of the funds set apart for making loan?, and were thus illegal. The attorneys say that all three associations paid out' about $25,000 in this way. The questions that will be involved in the?e suits have never been settled in this State and the attorneys want to get tnem uerore tne supreme Court as soon as possible. - Uovrdy's HlRht to Defend Ilia Honor.
