MILEAGE BOOK CHANGES.
An Arbitrary Rule May Be Dropped
This Year.

The ruling made in Chicago on Thurs

mileage books will in all probability

houses and travelling men especially in
the West.

Gently applied for mileage books for
their travelling men who are out on the
road. They have been advised that the
rules of the association require that
each ticket shall be used by one person
and that person must sign his name to
1t in the presence of the agent selling
1t. The opinion is expressed that this
rule is arbitrary, is likely to work III
jury to the roads enforcing it and
therefore likely to be dropped from the
catalogue.
1t is likely then that there will be
meetings held to settle the demorali-
cation caused by mileage tickets and
eventually mileage books will be on
sale to whoever has the price regardless
of signatures or other minor details as
has been the custom for some years

FAST FREIGHT REDUCTIONS.
Not In Traffic Rates, but in Western
Stats.

There is weeping and crashing of
teeth among the fast freight line
agents and employees. From reliable au-
thority the G o b e learns that the
statement printed in this column some
weeks ago is correct in every detail
and that the fast freight lines intend
to release many of the agents, al
though it may be a month before for
NAL action is taken.
Worse than that, it was stated yes
terday that a number of the lines are
to be dissolved or discontinued, among
them the Interstate Dispatch, Midland
Line, Central States Dispatch, Com
mercial Express line, West Shore and
Reading Dispatch.
The Merchants Dispatch, Red and
Blue lines and other fast freight lines
more familiar to st. Paul shippers are
not to be included in the above, al
though it is understood that the forces
are to be materially reduced, and the
rate-making power is to be taken
away from them.
This reduction affects at this time
only the Western representatives of
the big Eastern shines which are in a
pooling agreement.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-R. G. Dun 6
Co.'S weekly review Of trade tomor-
row will say: 1.-THE commercial fail
ures during the complete year 1895
number 1887, as against 1885 in 1894,
slightly. greater, $173, 196, 900 against
$172,9S2,856, SO that the average per
failure is $13,724, against s12,4 5S in 1894.
The bright promise offered by a large
decrease in the first quarter was fol-
lowed by a small increase in the Sec
ond. and third quarters, and a large
increase in the last quarter Of the
year. In that quarter also the de-
ferred liabilities to each firm in bust
ness increased, and also the proper
ton of deferred liabilities to payments
through clearing houses.
Remarkable contrasts are shown
this week in prices Of materials and Of
manufactured products. Compared
with Jan. 1, 1895, prices of manufact-
ured products and of materials rose
for pig iron 751 per cent at the highest
point, but only 81 at the close. while
manufactures of iron rose 53.7 at the
highest point and 23.5 at the close
Anthracite coal rose 1873, but closed
80 per cent lower than Jan. 1, 1895.
Cotton rose 64.7 per cent at the high
est point and Al at the close. but
cotton goods only 1913 at the highest
and 14.5 at the close; leather, 4S per
cent at the highest and PA at the
close, and boots and shoes 27.9 at the
highest and 12.46 at the close. Woods
rose II at the highest point and SO
at the close, but wooden goods only
rose one-eighth of 1 per cent at the
highest point, closing a shade weak
er; silk, 14.3 at the highest point and
1917 at the close. The comparisons
cast much light on the depression and
increase in failures during the last
quarter.
Produce markets have been the
theater OF surprising changes, which
nave influenced all business The acre

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Bradstreet's
New York stock market review says:
EARLY in the week Wall street was
confirmed in it's belief that the gov
eminent would issue 100000, 900 Of 4
per cents to provide gold for the treas

ment followed that J. P. Morgan & Co.
were forming a syndicate to subscribe
for this amount, with the further priv
ilege or obligation (as it may be re-
garded) to make a supplementary Is
sue Of a like sum. 1t also transpired
that the syndicate had been largely
over-subscribed; that foreign interests
have taken part in the operation to
and unknown amount, and that banks
and institutions throughout the coun-
try, as well as in this city, have shown
marked readiness to surrender their
gold holdings for a share in the new
bonds. These developments have
checked the depressing influences that
affected the stock market and caused

NO CONFLICT THERE.
Judge Jenkins Says Judges Agree
As to Receivers.

Judge Jenkins, of Milwaukee, who
appointed Messrs. McHenry and Bige-
low receivers of the Northern Pacific
road, had the following to say after
reading the telegram dated at Seattle,
and which appeared in the Glob e.
which set forth that he was the STUN
bling block to the bringing about Of
a united receivership for the Northern
Pacific
There is no controversy whatever
between the judges over this Northern
Pacific receivership, and the statement
that there is a conflict is erroneous
1t is purely and simply a question of
primary jurisdiction. That is the sub
ject for determination, not the ques-
ton of the personality of the receivers
There is no controversy so far as we
are concerned over the makeup of the
recelvership. All we want to consider
is the matter of jurisdiction. That is
all there is to it."

NEW YORK, Jan. IF reports are

Palace Car company mileage for haul
ing its cars over the Erie tracks. Fur
ther than this, it has leaked out that
the Pullman people were brought up
with round turn when the road
went out Of the hands of the receivers.
When the change took place the old
contract with the Pullman company
for the use of it's cars was abrogated.
and the company notified that unless
the sleeping cars were to be run over
the line without charging mileage their
use would be discontinued. The Pull
man people were given forty-eight
hours to decide whether or not they
would accept the proposition, and in
the meantime the Wagner Sleeping
Car company was notified to have f1f-
ty cars ready for instant use. But be-
fore the forty-sight hours had expired
the Pullman company had accepted
the situation.
