total tonnage. as compared with 26.SS
per cent Of the total tonnage of last
year.
Apparently the increase in revenue
from freight was due principally to
the increase in tonnage of agricultural
products, In consequence of good crops,
and to the increase Of 1855 miles in
the average miles each ton Of freight
was carried. These conditions were
offset somewhat by the decrease in the
rate per ton per mile, and, on the other
hGnd, the expense of transportation
was diminished by the increase of tons
of freight per loaded car.
The average rate per ton per mile
received for freights, for a series of
years past shows a decrease from 3.94
cents in 1867 to 1.003 cents In 1896.
The earnings for passenger traffic
during the year were $6,147, 67S.SS, an
increase over the previous year of
5.04 per cent. The number of passen-
gers carried was 7,427 GA. an increase
of 2.66 per cent. The revenue per pas
senger per mile was 1857 cents, a de-
crease of .039 cents, or 1853 per cent.
In the expenditures pertaining to
maintenance of way and structures
there was an increase over the previ-
Gus year of SGT, 25S,05 The expendi-
lures for maintenance of rolling stock
during the year were $2.942, 294 .65, an
increase of 1856, 9S5.19 over the expen-
ditures of the previous year on this
account, and include the amount of
1852, 705.S1 to replace the loss of equip
ment burned during the year.
The payments of the company for
labor directly employed in it's service
during the year were $12, 400 923. O3 as

NEW YORK, Sept Stock speculation
again today reflected professional manipulation
10 large extent, although some commission
rouse buying was noted. London was again
an uncertain factor, figuring on both sides OF
the account. The movement of prices was
irregular, and in a number of Instances the
variations were wide. Aside from Sugar and
st. Paul. which Jointly figured for nearly
half OF the aggregate dealings, the trading
was fairly well distributed The bullish in
fuences included the declaration of the reg
ular quarterly dividends on Sugar and West
ern Union; statement of operations of the
last mentioned company for the last quarter;
rumors OF a probable extra dividend on the
common by ST. Paul directors at tomorrow 5
meeting, and, late in the day. a break In
foreign exchange rates and a reaction in
call money to per cent. Additional gold
arrivals and the sale by the Bank of En-
gland of $2,129,000 in gold, presumably for
shipment to this country, also helped. The
adverse developments included the failure of
an important financial institution at New
Orleans and suggestions that, as a result of
the heavy demands for gold, the Bank of
England might raise it's minimum rate of
discount. Aside from the causes named i'm
provement in the market for commercial paper
was noted. On the other hand the shipments
OF currency to the interior, principally the
West, are on heavy scale and offerings of
time money are limited. The opening was
characterized by renewal of the upward
movement that had been in progress at the
close yesterday, and the volume OF business
was on fairly large scale. The strength Of
the market continued until near midday
when realizations caused reactionary move
ment In the downward movement West
ern Union, which had risen to 82N, receded
to yesterdays final in the general slump. The
quarterly statement, though fully as favor
able as had been anticipated, failed to exert
any influence upon the price Of the stocks.
On the downward trend, the market became
dull and continued heavy until about deliv-
cry hour, when the break in exchange caused
an improving tendency, resulting in frac-
tional gains all along the line. The movement
was facilitated by covering purchases. The
closing was dull, but steady at the rally, with
prices showing irregular fractional changes

The governments displayed continued
strength, and rose fractionally on sales of

First street, that used to be, means
a legal fight between the city and the
Milwaukee and Omaha roads, If any
effort is made on the part of the COM
missioner to carry out the letter of
the resolution. The manufacturers or
others doing business along the upper
levee are the ones interested in see
ing the street restored. They want
a roadway opened in order that teams
can reach the union depot and the
levee freight houses without the pres
ent drives around via the Seven cor
ners.
The roadway on the levee has been
lost sight of for years. and the case,
If it gets into the, courts, will be an
interesting one, as it will involve sew
eral questions of Importance to the
railroads. The manufacturers claim
that the street has been duly plated
for years, and that hence the city has
the absolute right to open it, when
ever the spirit moves. On the other
hand, the railroads claim that the
street was never plated, and that they
have a right to the strip. The Mil
waukee has had its tracks down for
over a score of years, and the Omaha
for nearly as long. The strip is COW

Western Passenger Association
Lines in Trouble.

The Western Passenger association
is Investigating the action of the 500
in making a rate of $1S to New York
and other eastern points. The avidity
with which the offer has been accepted
by dozens of travellers was cause
Of anxiety among the other lines. At
the Chicago meeting Of the association
the 500 claimed that it's action was
purely one Of self protection. A move
of that sort was absolutely necessary,
it is claimed, to secure a share Of
the eastern travel which was being
driven to other lines on account of the
deadly work of the scalpers. No
action was taken on the matter.
Chairman Caldwell has been instruct
ed to find out what the eastern roads
will do about it.
The scalpers doing business in st.
Paul have demoralized the affairs of
the Western Passenger association and
until after the end of the month, there
will be one continual worry. The
scalpers have hundreds of tickets on
hand to every possible point in the
Northwest, and all over the country

DULUTH, MIMI, Sept. 9--The market was
fairly active today. The Michigan crop re-
ports went to hold up early in the day. Later,
when Bradstreet's report, showing in
crease in the visible, came in, there was
drop. The cash demand was strong and prob
ably caused the upward turn toward the
close of the morning. The opening was at
579ac, and this was the low point. The market
went to 53c and then fell off again to 577sc,
but jumped to 5S5sc, closing with that figure
asked. Cash sales were 400, 600 blu, all to the

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-All grain and pro-
vision markets opened Arm today and gained
strength as the session advanced. Expecta-
lions of a bullish crop report caused enough
covering to advance December wheat 1ac.
Corn closed S-16c higher for September, but
unchanged for later months. Oats advanced
about &c and provisions 71ac to 121ac. Wheat
opened firm, although the immediate figures
were shade under yesterdays final quota
tions. Initial sales of December were made
at 57B@5Sc, yesterdays closing price being
5Sc. There was somewhat of disagreeable
shock to many of the traders who have SO
persistently played the bear side, relying on
the uncertain political situation and the heavy
Northwest receipts to help them to prosper
ity. In this latter expectation they were not
disappointed today. Nine hundred and twenty
carloads were reported from Minneapolis and
Duluth against 1923 carloads on the cor
responding day of the year before. Perhaps
the main reason for the f1rmness was the
strength of the New York stock market The
absence of any general demand from abroad
brought on free realizing and consequent
decline in prices. The total of wheat and
flour cleared from the Atlantic ports only
amounted to 121, 900 bushels. The Michigan
state crop report confirmed the previous esti-
mates of the shortage of the crop. The final
strength which closed the market at call
prices was caused by general covering by
shorts. who feared that the government fig
ures tomorrow would bull prices. New York
reported that Is boatloads had been placed
for export, principally from outports and
including three boatloads at Duluth. Deem
Der sold from 577sc, where it had dropped
from 5Sasc and retained its strength to the
end, closing firm at 5S1ac. Corn was steady
at a shade under yesterdays closing price,
during the greater part of the session, but
tribe frmer near the end, in sympathy with
wheat. May opened unchanged at 23Hc, fuc-
tuated between 23%c and 24c, closing steady
at the opening price. September did better,
closing 3-16c higher. Oats started easy,
but quickly frmed and closed firm and higher.
Quite fair business was transacted. May
opened a shade lower at 1890, and advanced
to 1s&c, where it closed. Provisions have
evidently reached a point where short sellers
are adverse to doing business in their line.
Trading was very moderate, but the DISPOSE
ton Of the crowd was to buy and conse-
quently firm undertone was observable. A
fair advance was established for the day JAM
uary pork closed 12Ac higher at $6721a; jan

CAR FERRY RATES
To BE Discussed by Western Freight
Association.

A meeting of the Western Freight as
ISOLATION is to be held in Chicago to-
day, and the old matter of the Michi-
gan Car Ferry company's rates from
Chicago to ST. Paul wifi be considered.
Nothing has been heard of this mat
ter for ten days, but during this time
the ferry company, and the Lake
Michigan and Lake Superior Trans
portation company have been getting
lots of business at ten cents per hun
dred pounds.
The fight has developed some very
amusing situations. The normal 500
rate from New York to st. Paul via
Lake Superior, is "a cents per hun
dred. Owing to the cut rates in eff
feet, the 500, it is said, finds it cheaper
to send their steamers from Buffalo
direct to Chicago, and there load their
cars and send them to st. Paul via
the car ferry company's boats, making
a saving Of 20 cents, and securing that
much more profit.
