The local freight agents meet again. this after

The Management of Railways Drifting Into
Competent Hands.
Every Important change in the management
of the leading railways of this country demon
strates the fact that practical railroad men only
are wanted to control the railroad interests of
the country, and the time Is near at
hand when neither wealth nor nepot-
ism can place incompetent men in responsible
positions. The retirement of VIM. H. Wander
bilt fully vindicates the above statement, as he
has stepped to one side that a man who has
come up from the bottom round of the ladder
may assume control of the immense Vanderbilt
railroad property, and probably there are not
E.. half dozen men anen IN, IN 'he United teSl
a position as Ia ]. H. Rutter. 1t will be
noticed, also, that Jay Gould, Gowen and
other men of like character aud position, are
tightening their labors, and show IA disposition to
entrust their various railroad interests in the
hands of railroad men who are fitted 20 control
the operation of their respective systems
through large experience. While the railway
magnates above named hold within their hands
the power to name the men who shall take the
burden off of them, they give suoh successors
full power to control their properties, ana ex-
peet good results.

largest boats that could pass through the We'll

the new steamer Frost will be finished and take
her place in the line. This addition will increase
the capacity of the line to twentyfOur boats like

New YORK, Aug. 21.--Wall street was
largely in possession of the bears again
to-day and their manipulation caused a
feverish market on the stock exchange.
The session opened with an ur settled feel
ing, Slayback selling Louisville & Nash
vile, l.. L. White selling st. Paul, and
everybody selling Denver. The fire in the
Unions Office deprived the market of
talk was very demoralizing and in the
midst of it Denver was sold down on stop
orders to 214.
After the first hour Slayback and others
mashed Louisville s. Nashville down.
Quiet buying continued. Towards noon
the market began to improve slightly, and
during the middle hours was active and
strong, later becoming very dull. There
was great deal of interest regarding the
presidency of the Denver road.
W. l.. Scott said there is no trouble in
Denver finances and that the interest will
be promptly paid. F. Lovejoy, formerly
of the Adams express, has had the offer of
the presidency, and would fill the position
well if he would accept it. Sidney Dill
Ion, Jas. F. Joy and James D. Fisk, presi-
dent of the Marine bank, were all men
toned at different times during the day as
presidents of the Denver. There was good
buying in st. Paul at 1O2. Alton earnings
for the second week decreased $4,000; I'm
ion Pacific for eighteen days in August
decreased $18,OO0;B urlington,C edarRapids
& Northern, $4,000. The short interest
that was about closed cut on Saturday is
again very large and all stocks are lend
ing freely.
The result of the days's dealings
was Louisville 8, Nashville lost

Minneapolis u st. Louis preferred de-
clined &c while Denver q Rio Grande
