GOULD'S FINE HAND.
Its Manipulation as Shown in the
Coal Traffic.


Coal Traffic.
CHICAGO. July S.-W Western roads are
much exercised over their loss of the
hard coal traffic from Eastern mines,
which seems to have been almost com
pletely monopolized by the Missouri
Pacific. During the two months from
May 10 to June 80 the shipments of coal
from the East to Omaha and beyond ag-
gregated 1852 cars, of which 454 cars
went over the Missouri Pacific, leaving
eight for all the other lines. During
the same period the Missouri Pacific got
30S of the 400 cars destined to South
western points. This coal comes from
the Lackawanna mines, in which Jay
Gould is interested, and tile competi-
tors of the Missouri Pacific have no
doubt that he is throwing the business
to his own road by an advantageous
manipulation of the rates. A complaint
is to be made to the board of commits
sioners of the Western Traffic associa-
ton,

issued a statement charging that the

management had issued over sl1, 900, 900
more bonds than was warranted by the
mortgage. The mortgage provided that
the bonded debt shall be limited to
$4,000 per mile. So far 40 miles have
been constructed, calling for the issue
of S3,500,000 in bonds. The company,
however, has issued $4,000, 900
in bonds, and justifes itself
by asserting that the line when com
pleted will be 600 miles long and that
the bond issue on the system would
then be only $4,000 per mile. The
bonds, which were placed at 80,
now have no market value and the COM
pany has floating debt of 5000. 900.
The committee, it is understood, will
bring legal proceedings against the
officers.
