everywhere. Percival Lowell, of the Chicago,
Burlington Quincy, is yet young man. who

j. N. Mccullough, nrst VIee-presldent OF the

ten days of each month looking over the roads
which constitute the Pennsylvania system west

the condition of the crops and the prospects for
buainess, he Is said to be as we'll posted as re-
CARDS the condition of track of the several d.
visions and of the equipment as are the division
superntendents Since Manager MoCrea took
hold, however he has turned over many matters
to him to look after which before occupied
much of his attention. Mr.. -McCuHough's long
continued service with the Pennsylvania COM
pany has made him one of their most valuable
men, and no important step Is taken, aggressive
or progressive in character, until he has been
conferred with, and his advice is usually fol
lowed.

mIssIssrPpI VALLEY LuMBERMEN

The adjourned meeting of representa-
tives from the lumber district of the Missis-
sippi Valley called some days since
to receive and consider the responses
from that section to the proposition
for more harmonious action be
tween the lumbermen of Chicago and
competitive points, was held at the office
of the Lumberman's Exchange, Chicago.
yesterday There were present Messrs. j.
N. Gould, of Moline, chairman of the com
mittee; w s. Yeung, Clinton; s. B. Gard
ner, Lyons; G. w. Cable and G. S. Shaw
Davenport; NJ III. Moore Dubuque, as a
committee, with the Hon w. T. Price, of
Unity. and d. G. Spaulding, of Black
River Falls, joining in the latter part of
the conference. 1t was resolved to recon-
mend to to the trade of Chicago and com
peting points the adoption of the following
action
Eesogoed, That uniformity in list Domen
clature is desirable, and this committee
recommend that the same be undertaken
with the Chicago list as basis. Altera-
tions if any are desirable, TO be suggested at
a convention of the trade to be hereafter
called.
Resolged, That we recommend the adop
ton of uniform schedule of weights as
basis for delivered lists. placing joist aud
scantling up to AKA at 2, 400 pounds; tim
Der, ?, $50 pounds; surfaced timber, and
II inch, at |, $50 pounds. leaving the bal
ance of the schedule now in vogue at
Chicago unchanged
Res0toed, That in publishing price lists
in Chicago and at all other points on the
Mississippi river or competing points, we
will make the same equal at the times,
based on the list of weights this day
adopted Cor to be adopted at a convention)
and the actual RACES of freight to the point
named, and that when change is made in
the official list at each point it shall be the
duty of the trade at such point to notify
other points of such change at the earliest
possible moment.
ResoJUed, That we recommend that each
section make its own rate of discount for
cash, and that the rate given in Chicago
shall not exceed 2 per cent, and at river
points and points tributary thereto or com
peting the rate shall not exceed per cent.
1t being distinctly understood that these
discounts will be allowed only on pay
ments made within ten days from date of
invoice.
Resotosd, That the secretary be instructed
to communicate this action to the various
competing points, asking that they will
appoint delegates to a general convention
to be held at Chicago Wednesday. March
21, at which final action may be taken re-
garding these recommendations.
