SETTLED A RATE WAR
Long : Standing Differences
Between Colorado Roads
Adjusted.
Within Few Days the Rates
Will Be Back on Their
Old Basis.
This Settlement VIII Stiffen
Worlds Fair Rates East
Of the Missouri.
yYY:IJ
Atehison Will Insist on a Re-
ductiOn From Established
Tariffs.

CHICAGO, May 15.-The long-standing
differences between the Colorado Mid
land and the Denver & Rio Grande
have been finally settled, and rates In
Colorado will be restored as soon as it
can legally be done. This means two
or three days before the Colorado rates
will be back upon their old basis, and
possibly ten days before the rate to Og-
den will be put where it was before
active hostilitieS were begun. The mat
ter of running one or two trains each
way every day will be left to each road
to do as it pleases about. and all other
matters not bearing strictly upon the
points at issue Will also be left to the
presidents of the different roads. The
line of the Colorado Midland between
Rifle Springs and Grand junction will
cording to the original agreement made
between the Midland and Denver & Rio
Grande when the former road was con-
structed.
The effect Of the settlement of the
Colorado troubles means stiffening of
worlds fair rates east of the Missouri
river, but they will not reach the point
which it was originally intended that
they should. The Atchison's notice of
withdrawal from the Western Passen-
ger association expires on Saturday,
and meeting of the general managers
has been called for Friday to see If mat
tiers cannot be arranged so that the
Atchison will remain in the association.
The Atchison has all along been in
favor of lower rate to the worlds fair
than that officially adopted by the assoc
citation, and it will now insist that some
concessions will be made to its wishes
in this regard. 1t will ask that the
round-trip rate, Denver to Chicago, be
not over S35, and that from Kansas City
SIS or sic. If it cannot obtain these
rates or their equivalents. its notice of
withdrawal from the Western Passen-
ger association will hold good,and there
will be lively times in rates east of the
Missouri river. The anxiety of the
Burlington and Rock Island for higher
rates will be a potent factor in securing
| the Atchison victory in this respect.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

NEW YORK, Nav l5.-The stock mar
ket was under cloud owing to the de-
pressed condition of the London market,
the bank failures in Australia, the en-
barraSSment of mercantile and banking
concerns in this country and the talk
about heavy exports of gold. Prices de-
clihed sharply and there was heavy
pressure to sell. Rallies occurred at i'll
teryalS, but the market failed to hold
the advance, and the recOverleS only
served to make the bears more agrees
sive. When delivery hour came and no
failures were announced at the board,
the shorts took alarm and started to
cover. At about the same time it
was reported that those interested in
the NatiOnalCordage co mpany had APP
pointed a committee, consisting of
George c. Magoun, Ernest ThalmanD
and q. ii. GOssler, to arrange plan of
reorganization, and that the finances Of
the concern upon investigation were
found to be in much better shape than
had been generally supposed. Cordage
common thereupon rose 81 to IL, and
the preferred jumped 10 to 40. The re-
mainder of the list showed advances on
the lowest figures of the morning of 4
to 81 per cent. and the market closed
firm in tone. The feeling at the close
was more confident than of late, owing
to the absence to local failures, the ease
in money and the receipts of gold at the
subtreasury from Canada and Western
banks.
The Post says: ''For its violent sue
ceSsive fluctuations in all directions to-
days stock market has rarely been par
alleled. The opening recovery was
followed by temporary pause in activ-
ity; this by steady crumbling away
of prices; this again by an equally sud-
den rally. There were in some quarters
obvious marks of quiet investment buy
ing, yet some IF the stocks most high in
favor with investors broke heavily in
the face of it; notably. for instance,
New York Central. The steady and
concentrated outpour Of long stock for
the account of local houses, which
distinguished last weeks mar
ket, was not witnessed today.
What was, however, particularly strik-
ing was the practically uninterrupted
weakness of the arbitrage stocks, re-
fleeing clearly the distress in London.
In the half-hOur before the close the
market suddenly became inactive, clos
ing with the greatest possible irregu-
larity. The absence of organized and
general manipulation for the decline
was so obvious as to explain much Of
the days singular f1uctuation.
