Railway Notes.

Chairman Caldwell has ruled that roads
members of the Western Passenger association
may not ignore the organizations agreement
in selling tickets to Tacoma, Seattle Port
land and other North Pacific coast points in
connection with Alaska business. Some time
ago he was asked if Alaska business was COW
cred by the Transcontinental agreement, and
he ruled that 1t was not. Some of the roads
have taken advantage of this to manipulate
rates to intermediate points, and to prevent
this the ruling was made.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
Intense Dullness Has Ruled Daring
the Week.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Bradstreets fnan-
clal review tomorrow will say: Intense dull
ness has ruled in the stock market during the
week Public and foreign participation have
been virtually non-existent, and the trading
has been entirely in the hands of professional
operators of the smaller type. Uncertainty
about the action of congress on various nnh,
lie questions the lack of any decided revival
or activity in trade and the fact that crop
prospects for the coming season are neces-
sarlly matter of doubt all tend to limit the
speculative market movements. At the same
time the tone has been strong rather than
weak, and the sole features have been sup
Piled by eccentric demonstrations on the part
OF some of the industrial stocks. In all such
cases, the movement-the prices-has been
upward, and the bear interest has been the
sufferer, the noteworthy instances being fur
nlshed by Tobacco and General Electric. AS
already indicated London has not been fac
tor in this market. In fact there is com
plete lull in speculation of any kind there
the glut OF idle money tending to force in
vestment into securities, which have attained
abnormally high prices. British consols this
week sold at 109 1916 ex quarterly interest
being the highest price on record At the
same time that there is some disposition in
London TO pay more attention to the better
class OF American securities the attitude of
congress and fears connected with the ap-
proach OF our presidential canvass seem to
check buying from that source and the fort
nightly settlement on the London stock ex-
change, completed this week. showed a re-
markably small account open in Americans.

Prospects Are for Several Days
Breezy DOinGs When the Mag

& General Traffic Manager H. L. Shute,
of the Great Northern, has gone to New

day to discuss freight matters as re-
CARDS the Pacific coast. Mr.. Shute
will remain in the East several days
and before returning home will be
present at the meeting on Wednesday
of the executive officers of the lines in
terested in the lake and rail freight
meeting. This meeting is held for the
purpose of discussing last seasons
business, and also to take steps look
ing to the caring for business this sea-
son on a better basis.
This meeting, which is considered
somewhat important, will be made up
of managers of lake lines and traffic
officials of the New England and ST.
Paul reads who have been requested
by Commissioner Goddard, of the trunk
lines, to meet the representatives of the
Eastern trunk lines. Chairman Midg-

st Paul & Duluth, and w. L. Martin
Of the 500, to be present.
The request from Mr.. Midgley pro-
vides for the presence of representa-.
tives of all or most Of the Western
freight lines.
The meeting, it is expected, will fix
rates on all important articles on east.
bound traffic for the summer, both by
all-rail and rail-and-lake lines. 1t is
limited by several st. Paul freight men
that some friction exists between the
joint traffic trust and the Northwest
ern lines members of the Western
Freight association, over the issuance
of joint tariffs, and that unless some
understanding is reached a rate wal
may be the result.

Tor It's annual encampment next September
1t was practically foregone conclusion that
the other roads would follow the action of the
Great Western as soon as that line decided il
would make the time limit thirty days, as
asked by the G.. A. R. Many of the roads are
doing this with not the best grace in tbe
world, for they feel that the extension will
cause decentralization in their regular bust
ness that they will feel for some time after the
tickets to the encampment proper have ex-
pired. However, there was nothing for them
to do but follow the lead of the Great West
ern when once it had declared that it would
Recede to the wishes of the Grand Army.

Their Conjunction Seriously De-
presses Railroad Travel

prcsseS IfaNels
Yesterday was a blue day for the railroad
men. Friday at best is not looked forward to
with unmingled joy, but when Friday falls on
the 18th of the month, as it did yesterday,
there is no vestige of joy. People may laugh
at the idea of superstition, but it is generally
conceded that there is no business to be ex-
pected on Friday, as far as starting out on
that day is concerned. This was more than
shown by the departure of the two big trans
continental trains yesterday within fifteen
minutes of each other. Perhaps, owing to the
mild weather the business has started in
earlier this year than usual, for both the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern have
been carrying good numbers bound for points
in the West, but yesterday there was nothing
like the full quota, and, as a result, the pas
senger men wore long faces. AS the super
stition is, of course, general, travel every
week drops off toward the end of the week,
and is, as a rule, best about Tuesday, when
it begins to pick up, and Wednesday and
Thursday.
Even Jimmy Farrell, in the union depot,
hopes it will be a long time before Friday falls
On the 18th again.
