A TRANSFER SYSTEM
between the lexington and BELT Lines
and the Columbia Railway.

between the lexington and BELT Lines
and the Columbia Railway.
Residents along the lines of the Ecking-
ten and Belt street railways and the Co.
lumbia street railway will be glad to know
that negotiations are in progress between
representatives of the two companies for
the purpose of establishing a system of
transfers. While 40 definite arrangement
has yet been made. 1t is thought that a
transfer system will be adopted and that it
will go into effect on the 1st of October.
If this is the case. it is said that trans
fers will be given at 18th and New York
avenue by conductors on the Belt road
and on the Columbia road transferring
passengers over these respective roads.
There will also be a transfer privilege
at 9Th street and Massachusetts, avenue
where the lexington road crosses the
Columbia road. 1t will be readily under
stood that this extension of the system of
transfers will prove of the greatest benefit
to the patrons of both lines, and the an
nouncement that an arrangement has been
made will, no doubt, be received with great
satisfaction by everyone.

Outflow Of Gold Likely Soon to
End.
EARLY INCREASE IN COTTON EXPORTS
improvement in Anthracite Coal
Business.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September 27.-In sympa-
thy with q higher London market initial
figures reflected fractional gains over last
nights closing prices, but the volume of
business, outside of the specialties. was
unimproved. The engagement of $780,
900 gold for consignment to Hamburg by
tomorrow's steamers attracted a profess
sional selling movement at the conclusion
OF the first hour, which sharply depressed
values at all points of activity. This ship
ment completes the original order for two
and one-half millions, cabled earlier in the
week, and is believed to mark the terminal
ton of the gold effiux. Rumors that dou-
BILE the amount would go out were not
generally credited, as the condition Of the
exchange market does not Justify such
action at this time.
The continued shipment Of currency to
New Orleans foreshadows an early in
crease In cotton exports. which will bring
into the exchange market a liberal supply
of drawings against such shipments and
depress rates comfortably below the ex-
port point Within the next few days IL
is estimated that gold can be purchased in
Europe at a saving of the commission now
being paid on this side.
The anthracite coal trade shows unmis-
taxable signs Of improvement, and is sure
to become an important factor in specula-
ton. Readings reorganization plan will in
all probability be announced next week and
will contain many desirable features. The
buying of this stock during the last few
days has been of superior order and an
important advance is likely to follow official
confirmation of present expectations. Lon
dons purchases of this stock alone during
the day were estimated at 5000 shares, and
the local demand was proportionately as
large.
Distillers was again factor of the days
transactions, an advance of 1 IL per cent
resulting from a liberal volume of business.
The important developments referred to
from time to time during the recent ad-
vance in the price of this stock are ex-
pected to be among next weeks early an
nouncements. Alliances with opposing
factions are believed to be among the most
significant features Of the proposed an
nouncement. together with certain favor
able legal concessions. An advance in the
rates for refined sugars of certain grade
and prospects of general advance and an
increasing demand encouraged some good
buying of American Sugar during the early
afternoon.
The transactions in railway shares were
for the most part without significant fea-
ture, owing to the purely professional
character of the trading
The general speculative situation reflects
a steady growth in the direction Of i'm
provement, the naIrowness alone being ia
harmonious with actual conditions. The
settlement of existing doubt in relation to
anthracite coal matters would in all like
lihood supply the stimulus now lacking,
ano this result seems among the immediate
probabilities

Here is a suggestion that may
save some business man money.
A business man advertises for
profit-not to see his name in
print. ...
Advertising that does not be-
get profitable results is dear at
any price.
Advertising space i'll one pa
per costing fifteen cents a line
may be profitable investment,
while in another space at a cent
a line may be excessively dear.

ers are the prosperous concerns

Senator Martin believes in lodging that

The Agreement.
Edwin McNulty, who also worked there,
gave similar evidence concerning the hours
employed. The agreement, he remem-
bered 1t, was that the men should work
twelve hours or less and should waive all
rights under the eght-hour law.
Witness was employed by Mr.. Ben. Nc
Waugh, and he received Is cents an hour for
the class of work he did.
He did not know what had become of the
contract.
Benjamin McVaugh was put on the stand
and he testified that he was employed by
the defendant. He had the agreement re-
ferred to and left it in his coat pocket at
the building. What had become of it he did
not know.
Witness said he was employed by his
brother. but what his brothers connection
with the work was he did not know.
The money he said, came to him from the
Philadelphia office, and sometimes to his
brother. and he (witness) paid the men.
A newspaper publication of the text of
the agreement was shown Witness and he
said 1t was substantially correct.

Benjamin McVaugh when he went to get
some information about Mr.. Linthicum's

of the men who had quit work. 1t was his
custom, he said, to pay men in full when
they were disc harged, but when they left
they had to wait for pay day Mr.. Nc
Waugh told him that the men had no kick
coming to them. that they had signed an
agreement waving their rights under the
eight-hour law. Witness made copy of
the agreement, which was read as follows:
I've. the undersigned employees of Frank
