The steel and iron securities were drop
ped yesterday as q leading feature of the
market They opened at the highest prices
cf this movement but tumbIed somewhat
rapidly after the first hour Of the session.
Federal Steel common went back TO 5S ] 4
from 50 IL and Wire common declined
TO A. 5-S from so Both of these securities
closed the session at near the low prices
Of the day. and the others Of the steel
group acted in much the same fashion.
Tennessee Coal and Iron, however. was
buoyant closing at 1l9. the highest price
Of the day. The Wire securities are un-
doubtedly heavy drag on the other stocks
OF the group. but the street persists in
feeling Of exceeding hopefulness regarding
the Federal Steels.

The statement as a whole for the month
and for the year is most gratifying one,
although expenses OF operation have been
very heavy owing TO increased cost of ma
terials. Pennsylvania like all the other
systems, will benefit immensely by an ad-
vance in rates which now seems certain.
The Pennsylvania directors did not increase

The earnings statements OF the day were
all extremely favorable In addition to
those Of the Pennsylvania Railway the
Louisville and the Norfolk and WesteI n
published yesterday morning the monthly
statements of Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific were also given out. Both of the
latter were all that had been predicted. and
perhaps q little more than had been ex-
pected Southern Pacific's increase in
gross Tor the month Of September was
$l.G44 g54. and its increase in net for the
same period, S533, ,677. The Increase in net
earnings from July ! to October ] was
81, ,1gS. 775. The report OF the Union Pa
cifc shows an increase in gross earnings
for the month of $345.S37. and an increase
in net Of S2C8. .426. The present showing OF
the Union Pacific means something be-
tween . and per cent earned on the COM
mon stock after all charges and the diyi-
iend on the preferred have been paid.
Neither the Southern Pacific nor the Union
Pacific securities showed much activity
Yesterday but prices We're higher at the
close than they were at the close on Tues
day and the outlook in them is und0ubt-
sdIy as fine as for any stocks on the board.
Many believe that Southern Pacific is TO be
advanced to so in the next SIX months, and
are buying il now with that figure in view.

Sandy Hook. n. j., Oct. The

the starting line to-day all hands
agreed she was being beautifully hand
led and that she would be able to hold
her own, and so it appeared from the
E,rin's deck until suddenly the toy
mast snapped. At this time 100 glasses
were levelled on the racers from the
Frin's deck. Suddenly some one shout

Some Promotions.

New York, Oct. 1S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The be-
lief at the war department is that the
series of promotions and retirements fol-
lowing Skaters removal from the active
service will result in General LaWton
getting the brigadier generalsllp, and
that the next vacancy in hat rank in
January, 1900, following the retirement
of General Anderson, will be filled by
General Macarthur. All the present
general officers of the regular army will
retire before General Lawton with the
exception of Brigadier General Wade,
who ~retires April IA. 1907. General Law
ton will retire one month earlier. Should
anything happen to General Wade, Gen
eral Lawton, by his appointment now,
would be the immediate successor of
General Miles Upon his retirement in
1869, and would have command of the
army for nearly four years. Whether APP
pointed now or in January, General Mac
Arthur, if he lives, will be sure to be
the commanding general for at least two
years. There is a strong movement on
foot to nave General Wood, the com
handing officer at Santiago. appointed
to the present vacancy, but at the wal
department there is NJ expectation that
he will come in ahead of Generals Law
ton and Macarthur

1.-The Chances of the Men.

New York, Oct. 1S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The au-
thorities have generally deprecated the
action of General Otis in directing the
movement of General Schwan to the
south Of Manila and General LaWton to
the north, when it is very we'll under
stood that the climatic conditions are
not such as to permit satisfactory cam
paisnirg. 1t is apparent from Otis Off
cial dispatches that he never had any
serious intention of directing the occupa-
ton Of territory south Of Manila, though
it was the understanding of tho officials
that such occupation o occur in the
important towns captured in the north.
The purpose of the movement under
command of General SchWan, as cX-
planned by General Otis, was to disinte-
CRATE the insurgent forces and destroy
their stores.
The blockade of ports under control of
the insurgents is said to be in accord
ance with the Instructions given by the
president. Reports received from Rear
Admiral Watson show that both rice and
hemp nav appreciated in value more
than 800 per cent. Surgeon General
Sternberg says that so far as he is in
formed the hospital accommodations are
large enough. In any event he has sent
ample medical supplies and medical at
tendants to the Philippines for the needs
OF the troops, as well as their prospective
needs in the coming campaign.

HERE AND THERE.

The following letter from a young BoS-
tonian in business in Ponce reveals some
of the practical difficulties arising from
the mingling of army regulations and
civic affairs:
You know, I suppose, what is being
done for the relief of the sufferers. but
here everything intended to help them, in
order to come in free. has to be turned
Over to the army officials, and these are,
as usual and always, proving themselves
entirely incompetent and worse than use
less. They are no good themselves at
such work, and they will not allow Any
thing to be done by those who are good
for something. They tie themselves Il
everything about them up in a mess of
rules, regulations and red tape that it is
next to impossible to do anything at all.
Mrs. and I spent this morning in one
of the worst of the outlying districts. We
were informed that food had been sent
them and that all that was needed to be
done was to distribute tickets to those
in need. These tickets state name and
number of people in the house, amount of
| food needed per week and length of time
they are to receive assistance. These
tickets are not given to anyone able to
work. or to anyone having someone able
to work for them. When we got there we
found that not a pound of food had been
sent. we gave out tickets to a dirty
smelling crowd all the morning, telling
them food would be sent out next day.
On arrival at Ponce we found that the
reason none had been sent out was be-
cause of lack of teams. The one firm in
town owning teams asked only IS per
day, and this was refused by the officer
in chaige. because he thought they
should haul the stuff for nothing. and this
in spite of the fact tht Mr.. - offered 20
pay for the team himself. They will not
give us the food and let us transport it,
and they will not do anything them
selves. They also make San Juan the
Headquarters for distribution. because
army headquarters are there. notwith-
standing the feet that the needs there. as
compared with the Ponce district. are
almost nothing. They insist upon an Of
ficer being present whenever food is be-
ing distributed and there are not half
enough officers to go around, conse-
uuently everything is being delayed and
people starving. We spend our spare
time in cutting up cloth for clothing for
the poor, but no one can tell when We can
get out to them. Unless the army people
have done something for the outlying dis
tricts I am afraid things will be very.

RAISING NEW ROSES.

Meehan's Monthly For those Who de-
sire to experiment with raising new var
ieties of roses, a variety known as Gem
The pollen ha strong tendency, and the
pistils are also healthy and vigorous to
such an extent hat it frequently bears
%abundan seed vessels of lJs own. 1t
can therefore play an important part
either as a male or female parent in
crossing for new varieties. There are
some roses that it would be very desir-
able to imprOve; but, on account of lack of
vitality in some of the organs it is inn
possible to improve. The common GRIM
son Boursault is one of this character.
Any one who would take it in hand to
imI w and really effected an improve
ment, would make a fortune. 1t is Of
the hardest of u roses, and yet of a
very remarkably vigorous character.
When in bloom, With it's multitude of
bright crimson flowers, it is a source of
genuine pleasure to the lover of roses.
But it cannot be improved because it's
stamens are always without perfect
pollen. The anthers are there, but they
do not produce a single pollen grain. If,
however, it was taken in hand by some
enthusiastic rose grower, the pollen of
some strong, hardy variety used to ferti-
lie the flowers, it might possibly be i'm
proved: indeed, the probabilities are all
in it's favor. The raising of new roses,
at any rate, is very interesting employ
'ment. aEd the American gardener would
find it to d materially to his gardening
pleasures.

HAVE NO MORE SAY IN RE- GARD TO THE COTTON
 BELT INTERESTS.
EDWIN GOULD PRESIDENT
Still, But is no Longer the Active Manager Of the Property-The
 Southwestern Up-tO-Date.

New York, July 27.-The Journal and Advertiser says:
 The Goulds are understood no longer 10 have control of the St. Louis Southwestern railroad Got ton Belt). luis stated reliably that banking houses identified to some extent with the Chicago & Eastern Illinois now hold majority interest in the property, Most of the i'm provemenrs which have been recent ly made in the way of new equip meut, heavier rails and better road beds nave been at the instance of the new interest now in control. The payment of the interest on the second income bonds was forced by the present controlling element, very much against the wishes of the Goulds, who prefer to keep the money in the treasury.
 Edwin Gould retalns the presiden- cy, but is no longer the active man ager of the property. which work now devolYes upon the vice presi- dent and general manager, who was formerly with the Great Northern and who has practically revolution ized the business in the property.
 The connecting line of about eightY-seven mics, which will run from the northern terminus of the St. Louis Southwestern to the southwestern terminus of the Chi cago & Eastern Illinois will, it is ex. pected, be completed within about thirty days. When this is actually finished, through trains can be op eraSed from Chicago to the Gulf over a shorter route than any ex- cept the Illinois Central, which, however. nhas the disadvantage Of not having as good port facilities as can be offered by the Southwest ern. With the train mileage ques- tion, the predominating feature of modern | railroading, the new line viii be particularly well equipped, as the improvements on the South westion have brought that line "up to date, enabling the running of the heavy locomotives and cars of the Eastern Illinois road over the entire lEe.
