New York. Sept 12-There was contin-
cation of apparently urgent liquidation on
the stock exchange this morning. caused
by covering of short stocks, which speed

There was continued apprehension over
the outlook for money, but the govern

the west were also material factors.
The crop report, though bearish on the
corn crop as whole, showed sharp de,

count for decline of apprehension over
the money market outlook and how far
this feeling was connected with reported
conference of leading bankers, is not GER

that there is a large available supply of
money, at least outside of New York City.
Money rates are easy at interior points
and there is even buying of commercial
paper in the New York market by western
banks. 1t is quite possible also that 4

of the bearish government crop report,

THE PASSENGER RATE CASE.
Governor Russell's Complaint Filed
Before the Railway Commission.
Case to be Heard TOday-Duke's Gift
to Trinity Coolidge.
CSDecial to The Messenger.)


Raleigh, n. C., June To-day Governor
RusselIs complaints were filed with the
railway commission in regard to the re-
duction of passenger fares to 2h cents
first-class and 2 cents second class per
mile. This matter comes up tomorrow.
There are three complaints, these being
against the North Carolina, the Whining
ton and Weldon, and the Raleigh and
CASTOR railways. The complaints say
that the roads thus selected for test
cases are entirely within the state, are
in it's most populous and productive coun-
ties, enjoy the largest domestic or local
travel and have the largest income in
proportion to their value. 1t says as to
the Raleigh and Castor railway, for ex-
tion of 1852, 453, its net profit from oper-
ating expenses was 500, 1897, or Il per
cent, and was over 13 per cent. or the
capital stock.
The governor further says the reduc-
tiOn in rate affects only the local pas
senger fares and will amount to q per
cent. of the local passenger receipts. He
contends that the abolition of free passes
in North Carolina will add largely to
the revenue of the railways, and he fur
Their contends that reduction Of fares. has
always been followed by increased travel,
generally more than counterbalancing the
loss directly caused by the reduction.
