Rumor has 1t that there soon will be
several important changes In the rofl-
cial forces Of the Pullman Palace Car
Company. Having secured absolute
control OF the company's stock, the
Vanderbilt interests are in a position to
dictate the policy OF the company. and
it was said that they contemplated
more or less OF a shake-up in the upper
ranks. Having gained control OF the
stock, the Vanderbilts will make a
strong effort to take the several inde-
pendent sleepIng-car companies under
their wing. consolidating them with
the big consolidated company. Recent
developments have prompted some
railroad officials to predict that before
another year is gone there will be but
one sleeping car company In the land.

THE RAILROADS..

The iactlvity Of the Wheeling s Lake
Erie securities has been the cause fora
great deal of comment in the edsl shys
1.-THE Cleveland Leader. Last week the
first mortgage bonds were so active
that rumors were started that some
deal was on which would affect the fu-
I.ture OF the road. the belief being that
some other property either had control,
or would soon control;it. 1t seeuS,hqw-t
ever, that the demand for the seeGfft-
les was due very largely to the flnar.
cial showing Of the road. First mort
gage bonds started out at 1o9 and be-
fore the week ended had gone first to;
Ill and then to llS y. The extension IS
also showed u big Increase. going up
six and one-half points. s, L =. /,
The fact that the report Of this road.
(which has not been looked upon with.
any too much favor Of late, should
suddenly show earnings enough to
make a sensational demand for It's Sc,
.curities possible is taken as one Of the
biggest achievements OF the year. When
the Wheeling bought In the Cleveland.
Canton. & Southern many were doubt
full of the outcome. They looked upon
It as a freak Investment, in which there
was no Immediate hope OF realizing on
the outlay. Some even went 80 far as
to assert that unless the combined
property went Into the hands Of some
other road 1t would be back whence II
cnme, in the hands OF n receiver, before
the year was over. The management
has shown the capabilities Of the prop
erty in such way asSto startle Some
OF the fnanciers, and among them some
OF the scoffers.
When President Blickenderfer OBJ
tained the money with which is to
make some badly needed Improvements
and TO give the road some new equip
ment, which 1t was sorely in need Of. he
started to do the business that has
since put the road squarely on its feet.
The increase In the earnings for the
year than the one just closed were
enormous. and Inc prospects are Tor
more business this year. than the one
Just closed. Business promises to be
equally as heavy as it was alyear age,
and an added advantage Will be gained
by an absolute maintenance of rates.
The past record and the prospects for
the future have persuaded some Of the
eastern banking houses that this prop.
erty is coming into favor, and several
Of them are said to have recommended
the securities to their customers,
The heavy trading in the extension
bonds has also put the road on even
firmer footing than its big Increases in
earnings did, as It gave the operators
some money for. s.ill further Improve
ments upon which they have been
counting. s.
