That reminds me Of a conversation I
overheard at a concert Wednesday evening.
The persons who conversed were two young
women. and one OF them did most OF the
talking.

family ever were in trade. Somehow. it's

Unable 20 EouaIixe Export Rates.

Eastern and Western freight men have so
far been unable TO agree upon any plan for
equslizing export rates through all ports
and gateways. The Western men met at
Chicago again yesterday and decided TO re-
fer the whole question back to the execu-
tive officers. They agreed that the only way
on through rates to Europe. and on those
lines made certain recommendations to the
executive officers. They advocate the ap-
pO.ntment of a joint agent, who should name
the through export rates every day, arriv-
Ing at such n rate by taking a combination
OF the lowest grade made through any port
or gateway. This would not apply to grain,
which the lines say cannot be hauled on
through tariffs. but would cover flour. pro-
visions and practically everything in the
bulk line.

General and Personal Notes.

An Eastern financial paper devotes a
lengthy article 70 the present policy of
managing the Wabash. most of the oom-
ments being Of a complimentary character.
Among other things the article says: "Op-
Grating results have revealed continuous

vital Importance Of the trainload question
he should read Mr.. Ramsey's report for 1897.
or that of General Manager Kendrick. of the
Northern Pacific, last year. The gross earn
ings Of the Wabash Company In the nine

very nearly 10 per cent. more than in the
first three-quarters Of the previous year.
The annual interest. at all events. is safe

debentures receive interest only II earned.
Two series of obligations are being paid off

the year $3.50. 900 in equipment notes. extend
ing over a period of twenty-four months
and payable in monthly installments of
about $4,000 each. The last note will be due
in June. 1900. The money with which to pay
these notes is charged to operating expen-
ses. month by month. and the twelve
months will take care of half of the s3 600.
In the nine months to April 1 operating ex-
penses took "a per cent. of the earnings.
This unusually high ratio was due solely to
tire continuation of large OUTLAWS for better
nlentS in the several maintenance depart
nlents. The company put down, last year,
~ miles of new rails, on practically one
tenth of It's mileage, chiefly OF eighty
pound weight. and had unusually heavy
equipment expenses because of the opening
of the Buffalo division. The policy has been
continued throughout the present year. and
the increase of 81. 225,O00 in expenses, against
q gain Of S934.0O In gross earnings, Is thus
fully accounted for. Work on the building
of the missing link in the Des Moines divi-
sion, between Moulton and Abba. Ia, is
about TO begin. Its length is twenty-seven
miles. In case the Wabash loses the Eel
