TIIE INDIANAPOLIS

THE RAILWAYS IN 1901 MO HE LOADED CARS HANDLED, "WITH INCREASED TONNAGE. lnenger Truffle Henvlent in the History of IndinnapoIIa Lines Hard Year on. Scalper. -The following exhibits, compiled from official records of the fifteen railroads centering at Indianapolis, show that there were received and forwarded at this point in the year 1901 a total of 1.391.S34 cars. 1.1K516 being loaded. 579,733 being handled In the first six months of the year 556,783 In the last half. In the total and car movement a decrease is shown pared with the previous year, loaded cars an increase is shown. Ing these calculations It should as cornwhile In In makbe borne In mind that fully SO per cent, of the cars now handled by Indianapolis lines are of larger capacity than the cars formerly In use. The railroad companies, especially the Big Four and Pennsylvania, have adopted a system of loading cars through which every foot of space is utilized, and careful estimates show that from 10 to 12 per cent, larger tonnage is loaded per car than in 1900. In analyzing the exhibit it is seen that the largest number of loaded cars handled in any month. of the year was 106,681; the lightest month of the year was February 83,727. The exhibit of 1901 would have been much larger had the roads been able to furnish the cars which shippers would have loaded. An analysis shows that in local business more cars were handled than in any former year, so prosperous have been, the various industries of Indianapolis. There is a marked decrease in eastbound shipments, largely In grain, a falling off of fully 60 per cent, being shown the last half of tha year. The shipments of cerealine products were about the same as either of the last three years. Shipments of dressed meats are increasing with each year, Indianapolis in the last few years having made remarkable development in this direction. In westbound the entire year the volume of traffic exceeded that of any former year, and four months of the year official statistics show that the westbound tonnage of the Pennsylvania and Big Four lines was heavier than the eastbound. This, of course, is due jto the light grain movement. Shipments of anthracite coal have been heavier the last three months than in either of many years past. Last year the anthracite coal strike cut down this traffic. Central Traffic Association lines have handled a larger tonnage of soft coal than in any year of the last thirteen, owing to the fact that natural gas is failing to such ail extent that not only manufacturers but private residences have to resume burning coal. Another feature of this year's business is that the North and South lines show the largest increase of any year in their history, due to the Increased shipments of green stuffs, fruits and the like of Southern production to Northern markets. The wholesale houses on South Meridian and Pennsylvania streets shipped full 10 per cent, more goods than any former year, and on inbound business there was an increase of 3 to 5 per cent. The iron works, such as the Malleable, the Atlas engine, the Dean Brothers. BrownKetcham, E. C. Atkins & Co., Nordyke & Marmon, the Parry Manufacturing Company and furniture manufacturers made the heaviest shipments of any year in their history and enjoyed the most prosperous year since their respective lines of business were established. The Increase in through car movement was chiefly -with the Big Four, the Pennsylvania and the Lake Erie & Western. The Lake Erie & Western through its alliance with the Lake Shore Increased its loaded car movement out of and into Indianapolis several thousand cars. The Monon had a prosperous year, handling at this point over 1,000 more loaded cars than in 1900. The Indiana. Decatur & Western had a bad year, owing to the failure of the corn crop in the territory from which it draws its business, and for the last seven months of the year shows a decreased movement from week to week practically. The Cincinnati, Hamilton oi Dayton handled fewer loaded cars at this point than in 1100, but II. G. Stiles, general agent, said that tonnage shows up a little heavier in every line except grain, and the better wheat crop of last year overcame the shortages in other directions. For a couple of months its traffic to Toledo in wheat has been quite heavy. The Pennsylvania, the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, the Monon and the Big Four each now have extensive bulk tracks at Indianapolis, their capacity being fully 2.000 cars, and this has proved of great convenience in loading and unloading heavy and bulky freight. The shipments of Hour and provisions from Indianapolis were slightly in excess of those of 1900. The shipments of cerealine products were about the same as either of the last three years. The car famine, which has been troublesome the crenter nnrt nf tViQ curtailed traffic perceptibly, and the condition of locomotives tended to decrease traffic. A general superintendent says that his line would have handled certainly 25 per cent, more business the last half of the year had it been adequate to moving the business offered. All the Indianapolis lines have experienced trouble from car iionrtse, anu muse wnicn nave shown a lighter traffic than in 1900 three months of the year experienced trouble in getting cars. Coal traffic with the Vandalia, the Indianapolis & Vincennes and the Big Four lines through the late fall months was limited only by cars which could be commanded. The roads named, had they been able to furnish cars, would hAve moved at least a third more tonnage of coal. Street Improvements were not carried on upon so extensive a scale as usual through the year, which curtailed local business somewhat. The commission houses, although prices have ranged high, have been large shippers most of the year, their business each year increasing. The stockyards had a busy year, handling more cattle than in any former year and averaging well with former years in the number of hogs. The business of private industries has forced the roads to work more engines and switching crews than in former years. One of the best points in the business of the year, say freight officials, is that business has been carried at nearer full tariff rates than in any year of the last twelve While rates have been demoralized at other points It is claimed they have been well maintained at Indianapolis. The official report of Charles Stilz. general ticket agent at the Union Station, for the year ended Dec. 31 shows that the revenue from this source was $101,473.65 in excess of that of 10 and $153,696.65 in excels of 1S99. It is four years since Mr. Stllz was appointed general ticket agent, and every year has shown an increase over previous years, so steady has been the increase in travel. H. M. Bronson. assistant general passenger agent of the Rig Four, says that for eight months of the twelve their business shows a handsome increase it being over $70.0o0 in excess of 1300, which was one of the best years in the road s history. Aside from its Pan-American business and Sunday excursion business, an increase in passenger business is shown until Indianapolis has become one of the best paying stations on passenger business on the Big Four's lines. C. F. Daly, general passenger agent of the Lake Erie & Western, says their line had no reason to complain of the volume of business. Its local traffic was fully 10 per cent, in excess of lifV), and its Sunday excursion business the most profitable of any year since It was Inaugurated. W. W. Richardson, district passencer agent of the Pennsylvania, says both the Panhandle and the Vandalia show considrrble Increase over 19oa, but njt so marked as it would have been but for the Buffalo Exposition, which curtailed traffic more or less to the pleasure resorts of the Atlantic seaboard; nevertheless, he is well satisfied with the exhibit of 19 A R. P. Algeo. district passeneer aent of the Monon and the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, says he has no reason to complain of the results at Indianapolis with both lines, more especially the Monon. this road having done better at Indianapolis than in any former year since opened for traffic, its receipts from sales of tickets increasing fully IS per cent, over those cf previous years. Regarding the C. H. & D. the exhibit shows something of an increase over 13of. an exhibit so satisfactory, under conditions that prevail that it is very gratifying to Passenger Traffic Manager Edwards. In 1900 the C. H. & D. was fortunate in being so located that It handled 'an extensive convention business. This year it had none of these conventions to draw from. In 19f0 the C. H. i D. had three Niagara Falls excuruiona which were decided successes. The

JODRXAL, WEDNESDAY,

Indiana, Decatur & Western a little more than held its own in the passenger business. In fact, all the roads. Sunday excursion business included, had a very satisfictory year. Without question, there has never been a year in which passenger rates were so well maintained as the one Just closed. The interchangeable mileage books, after a test of four yeirs, have become popular with traveling salesmen-, so modified have been the rules regarding their use, and but few, if any. would like to return to the old mileage ticket method. The excellent business the roads have done during the year just closed gives evidence that there is more money in the country, and people are returning to their old habit of traveling more extensively. Passenger Business of 11)01. . The volume of passenger traffic in 1901 exceeded the most sanguine expectations of general agents. Previous year was a recordbreaker, even exceeding the year of the World's Fair. 1S93. but 1901 shows a marked improvement over the preceding year. The first four months of the year travel was light and fell below that of 19"0. but beginning with May it improved until in July, August and October it reached the largest volume in the history of the roads. Every line had increased its equipment for various reasons, the Big Four especially on account of Buffalo exposition business, and the sleeping cars also did the best business in their history; dining cars were more liberally patronized than in any former year, and receipts from excess baggage were considerably in excess of previous years on account of the busy times with traveling salesmen. The excursion traffic exceeded that of any former year, and patrons of Indianapolis lines have no occasion to complain, as on 134 days out of 365 reduced rates were given on account of some convention, celebration or current event. The Sunday excursion business was carried on to a larger extent than in any former year. General passenger agents who have carefully investigated the matter conceded that it cuts Into regular travel somewhat, but the revenue derived therefrom overbalances the shortage caused in regular travel. The trolley lines have cut into regular travel of the Big Four somewhat, but it has not been as noticeable as it would be were passenger traffic at its normal condition, as it interfered more especially with the business, of the Big Four's Cleveland division, but this division had the Pan-American exposition travel to overcome the trolley line business. A Hard Year for Scalper. The traffic of the ticket scalper and Its results for 1900 were far from satisfactory. The general passenger agents have surrounded them with such a menace on all sides that it is practically driving them out of business. The interchangeable mileage book is now In such shape that they can utilize it but little and not at all without running considerable risk. The failure of Congress last year to pass a bill to prevent scalping of tickets gave them some encouragement, but they cannot do business with any pleasure or good financial results without difficulty. They manage to get a little out of the Sunday excursion business and occasionally from some person who has a ticket he does not wish to use, but the roads are redeeming such tickets to such a large extent that it cuts off this method of supply. The Central Traffic Passenger Association tests the market frequently and the weak as well as the strong lines give the scalper a cold shoulder at present. Every year it becomes more difficult for them to transact business with profit. Indianapolis now has but two scalping offices that are open continuously. There are others that open on Sundays and handle only excursion tickets. The large number of excursions into Indianapolis during the summer months enables them to get a little money out of that line of business. Still, it is up-hill work for them to make both ends meet.

At a meeting of the stockholders of the Great Northern Railway, held at the general offices in St. Paul, the executive staff was reorganized. No announcement was made as to president, but the following were chosen: First vice president, J. N. Hill. St. Paul; second vice president, R. I. Farrington. St. Paul: third vice president, E. T. Nichols, New York; fourth vice president, J. W. Blabon, St. Paul. R. I. Farrlngton's election as second vice president was unexpected. It is expected that Mr. Farrington will have almost exclusive control of the financial and accounting departments, relieving Mr. Hill of the general control he has exercised In the past. E. T. Nichols is now secretary of the Great Northern in New York, as well as treasurer. It is the first time the Great Northern has ever had a vice president in New York. J. W. Blabon will have charge of traffic matters and will assume the duties now filled by Darius Miller, who goes to the Burlington. Heretofore the traffic department has been In charge of the second vice president, but now that officer will look after finances. First Trnln on Feb. lO. General Manager W. I. Allen, of the Cincinnati, Richmond & Muncie Railroad, was In Muncie yesterday and said the date had been set for the completion of this- new road and the establishment of the through train service from Cincinnati to Chicago.

BEST YEAR YET KNOWN INDIANAPOLIS MERCHANTS DID A FINE BUSINESS IN 1001. Steady, High Prices the Feature, Except in a Fevr Linen Year-End Conditions in the Cereals. With most of the merchants of Indianapolis, yesterday closed one of tfie most prosperous years in their history. Trade was especially good with the dry good houses, though the margins on which sales were made were small. As the aggregate of business was very large and bills are well paid up, the net result is very satisfactory. Druggists had a good year, and except in linseed oils and a few other and minor lines, prices were steady and at a profitable level. Trade in leather has been very good, with a fair margin of profit, but business in hides has been disappointing, with prices irregular and generally demoralized. Confectioners have felt the current prosperity to a marked degree. Flour has fluctuated but little, and provisions have been active at good prices, for both domestic and export account. The high price of cerealine products has had a large influence to keep flour steady at Its present comparatively low range. The produce market has been unusually steady and profits have been fair. Choice butter, eggs and cheese have been in large demand at good prices, but there has been a superabundance of poor stock. The poultry market has compared favorably with former years. Seed merchants have been hampered by an irregular market, but the aggregate of sales was large. Dealers In iron, steel and hardware have had an unusually good year. Prices have been hard at a generally high range, brought about chiefly by the great demand. Practically all the advances of the fore part of the year were held to the close. Summing it all up, Indianapolis merchants have transacted the largest business in their history, with a greater aggregate of profits and with fewer bad bills than ever before. Indianapolis Grain Market. The local grain market continues active .as has been the case since the first of December, prices ranging higher and being firmer than at any other period of the past year.

Dec. 31.-Burglars at an early hour to-day blew the safe In the postofflce and general store at Nottingham, a suburb. The explosion awakened Postmaster Iloose, who. with several citizens, opened fire on the cracksmen as the latter were leaving the building with their booty. The burglars returned the fire and fully two dozen shots were exchanged After a long running fight, however, the robbers escaped. A bloody trail showed that at least one of their number had been badly wounded. The value of the plunder secured is not yet known.
