RAILROAD NOTES.

Sir William Van Horne. president Of
the Canadian Pacific Railway COM
pany. when asked regarding the al
legged cooperation of the Grand Trunk,
Canadian Pacific, and Michigan Cen
tral Railway companies in building the
proposed $3,O00,0OO bridge from Windsor
to Detriot. He said: 1.-THE Canadian
Pacific has had nothing to do yet with
the undertaking, but, II built, there is
little doubt that all the railways CEN
tering at Detroit will make use of it.
The Michigan Central has never COM
municated with us on the subject, but
l know it has been wanting to do some
thing OF the kind for years, as the
traffic has practically outgrown the ca
pacity Of the ferry boats" He said
that u tunnel was first spoken of, but
its practicability w3's too uncertain to
justify undertaking the enterprise.
Such q tunnel, ba;ne SO long, would
render lines usi:g /" unpopular, as pas
sengers would m".h rather cross a
river on a br.GtS. than under it by
means Of tunIH.
Progress Is rs;ia'te In the reorgani-
cation Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road company and it Is expected that
the outlines of plan will be announced
before great while. a member of the
organization committee says:
1.-THE affairs of the company are not
in such an unfortunate condition as
has been reported by those who pre-
sumo to base their statements upon the
experts examination. As matter OF
fact such progress has been made by
the committee that it can be stated that
interest on all classes of the funded
debt of the company will be paid reg.
ularly hereafter. There is q good
chance, too, that the floating debt may
be successfully managed in the same
plan was adopted in the case of that
road.
1t Is understood that the soft coal
pool is being RAPIDLY consummated and
that without a doubt It will be declared
operative April !. Prices are to be ad-
vanced some % cents per ton over cur
rent figures. OF this amount from to
Is cents per ton will go to the railroads
through increased freight rates.
-
The Chicago and Ohio River Traffic
association will go out of existence on
April !, and thereafter will form
component part Of the Central Freight
association, which will take the place
of the Central Traffic association.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS.
Wall Street Revicw.

New York, March l6-Speculation at
stock exchange to the regret of COM
mission houses continues narrow and
professional. Today the transactions
We're 1864 shares. There was little
news afioat to affect speculation outside
or the publication of the Northern Pa
ciiic plan of reorganization. Even the
effect of this important announcement
was only passing In its character. This
probably can be explained by the fact
that the provisions of the plan are so
far reaching that the street, quick as
1t Is to discount future events. has been
unable to fully grasp the subject mat
ter. The assessments on the stock.
however were considered heavy and
some Of the holders of the third mort
gage We're of thr opinion that theie in
terests had been sacrificed for the con-
soils. The first effect of the pubcilation
of the plan was a decline in the common
to 19s and In the preferred to 11A. The
cOnsols IS on the other hand, rose from
451a to 49iaG4SX. The Northern Pacific
issues were not particularly in stock
market, but in the bond department the
dealings in the issue Of the company
footed up in a grand total of $S.OSs, 900.
The general railway list presented little
of interest. At the opening the tenden-
cy was downward, but after moderate
reaction the market improved. The In
dustrials monopoiized attention. To-
bacco which has been sold right and left
of late took on considerable strength
and gradually worked at 1l4A eX-divi-
dend of per cent. rose to 1155s and
closed at HAS. The law just passed by
the reichstag was considered favorable
to American retiners. General Electric
rose to 37Ss and later receded to 36M 1868
on realiZations. Leather preferred
jumped from 6lA to 63la. and later
yielded to 81. Laclede Gas at one time
was in a sharp demand, rising to 29b
for the common and "a for the preferred.
with q subsequent reaction to 2SH and
81 respectively. In the last hour of
business the market was firm in tone,
the strength of Tobacco and the steadi-
ness of Northern Pacific preferred hav-
ing had good effect. Speculation left
off firm. AS q rule. however, the rail-
ways showed losses of A@A per cent.
The gain in the Industrials ranged from
* to z per cent. Pacific Mail lost lB

A Hazleton dispatch says: The OLD
Rack Mountain colliery, which was
abandoned twelve years ago by the
Buck Mountain Coal company, again
gives promise of being the most pros
porous mine in the region. About two
years ago. Eckley Il. Coke made an eN-
animation of the place. The geologi-
cal history of the strata was better
known to him than to anyone else, ana
he felt convinced that 1t would he worth
reopening the mine. and he according
ly negotiated a lease for the Cross Creek
Coal company. Since Mr.. Coxe's death
the latter company has followed the
lines laid down by him. A new plane
was built, a tunnel driven to give II
natural drainage and Stripping
opened. A railroad over which the coal
was to be carried to Eckley was also
built. Prospectors were also at work
searching for new vein which Mr..
Coke felt sure existed. Last night the
workmen discovered this vein and 1t is
even richer than anticipated. From the
borings 1t measures 12i feet in thick
ness. Independent of the old works.
which 1t was proposed to reopen and
strip the outcroD, the new vein will
warrant expensive shafting and means

deserted.
