The stockholders of the Wheeling
Bridge ard Terminal Company, now
controlled by the Pennsylvania Rail-
way Company, met at the local Office
OF the Company in this city, yesterday
afternoon at two o'clock, and trans
acted a very considerable amount OF
business, including the election OF q
new Board of Directors. The new d.
rectorate is composed Of Messrs. JOS
eph Wood, James McCrea. J. T.
Brooks and L. L. Gilbert, all of Pitts
burg, and Mr.. ]. d. Culbertson, of this
city.
1t was decided to extend the Penn
sylvanil pension system to the Ter
minal employees, and also to give the
men entrance to the Pennsylvania
beneficial system, which is generally
the same as that in vogue on the Bal
timore snd Ohio.
AS t, other business transacted
there was a singular reticence, fire.
quent enquiries being %unavailing as to
tangible results. 1t was, however,
stated that no report in figures was
referrel to, save, perhaps, in very
general terms as relating to the vol
ume or growth of business.

NEW YORK, March 2s.-Despite a
loss of five shillings in the price of
pig tin in London u market for that
metal on the spot articles showed con-
tfnued f1rmness owing to a lack of
selling pressure with final figures on
the basis of SIC 1925 so. The future
delivery. however, displayed easness of
undertone owing to prospects for an
increase dn supplies. The close at
London showed spot to be e116 Is Cd
and the future option G144. The
same narrow ~featureless market was
prevalent to-day for copper that has
been the case for some time. Prices
were nominally unchanged. At Lon
don an easier market was noted, spot
closing at eco SIS Cd and futures at
E70. Lead was dull at 81 371s. Spell
ter dull and without quotable change.

PennsxlYanta,. PIans.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-It develops
that Pennsylvania plans for captur-
ing a portion of the shipments OF mer-
chandise from Greater New York as
we'll as New England will entail an
expenditure of between $4,000. 600 and
IS, 900, 900 in terminal improvements
around New York harbor. The com-
pany has secured land at Greenyille
on the Jersey shore which Is in direct
line witt Harlem and within easy
reach of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. To I'LL
in this tract will take about eight mil
lion cubic yards of earth. Work Is at
present in progress and so far 5000
have been expended. Freight trains
will be switched off the main line at
Naverly, thence over the meadows.
There will be four piers, each 120 feet
in width. The piers will be 400 feet
long. In addition, there will be four
transfer bridges SO that entire trains
can be run to the waters edge and on
to floats to be transferred to any part
of New York harDor. There will also
be grain elevators and docks for larg-
est steamships in the world. 1t can be
stated on authority that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company does not pro-
pose to tunnel under the Narrows on
account of engineering difficulties.
Great improvements are contemplated
on the Long Island Railroad but these
will be made and paid for by that
company. Pennsylvania does not pro-
pose 4 belt line system in Brooklyn
as present terminal facilities are am
pie to meet requirements OF business.

Wall Street Journal.
The announcement by J.. P. Morgan
& Co., that the voting trust of the
stocks Of the American Bridge Com
pany has been dissolved, and that the
stocks will be delivered in exchange
for the trust receipts is regarded as a
preliminary to the acquisition of the
American Bridge Company by the
United States Steel Corporation.
This view seems to be sustained by
the language of the advertisement
having now sold and disposed of all
the shares of said steel stock acquired
by us. as syndicate managers under
the agreement of May 4, 1900.'

CHICAGO, March 28.-Speculative
interest IN change was again focused
on corn to-day and the market, after
establishing a new high record for
Ma ydelivery, closed 1sc over yester-
day. Other markets were dull, wheat
closing unchanged. Oats were a shade
up, and provisions 2k@5 to 25c de-
pressed.
Corn opened with sentiment only a
shade easier, although the rather bear
ish ensembl of news might have ex-
cuSed crater weakness. TIL weather
was improved, receipts were liberal
and containd a largely increased pro-
portion of contract corn, while cables
were Indifferent. Notwithstanding
this array of considerations, the mar
ket opened unchanged at Aye, and in
a few minutes touched 42h@Bc. On
reported freer country offerings the in
itial irmness was replaced by a tone
of greater ease, May dropping to 1873.
Here the market turned and began
that steady appreciation which culmin-
ated in a new high record price for
May delivery, doing it In the face of
strenuous efforts of the bears. The
bull leader was the only moderate
buyer, but outsiders who seem to be
the stauncheSt bulls in the market
were purchasers, and May, during the
afternoon, touched Acc. The close was
strong, %c over yesterday at 42Bc.
Local receipts were 1873 cars, 81 of
contract grade, while at primary
points receipts were $4,000 bushels,
compared with 774,0 900 bushels a veal

Wheat was dull, narrow and unin-
teresting. Much OF the time business
vas at a s~tandstill, while ira lers
turned a wistful eye on the superior
animation of corn. Aven reports Of
Hessian fly damage were received With
apathy. Heavy receipts and the weak
ness of the export situation, the mild,
clear weather and optimism of the
Price Current report combined to
create a bearish sentiment. 1t was
judged unwise to tempt fate too far
with the bullish corn market, SO close
a neighbor to May, having opened
a shade to hc lower at 75Bc to 75Al
&c, declined to 1850. Near the close
the market rallied in sympathy with
corn, and closed unchanged at 1870
76c. Exporters reported twenty loads
taken. Seaboard clearances in wheat
and flour were equal to SCI 900 BUSH
els. while primary receipts aggregated
74S,00o bushels, compared with 554,-
900 bushels a year ago. Local receipts
were &c cars, none of contract grade.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 364
cars. against 81 last week, and 1876 a

Oats were in excellent demand for
shipment. but for future delivery bug
mess was sluggish. and prices appear
ed to be in need Of all the strength
corn could lend. Receipts here were

Republic Iron & Steel.

Wall Street Financial.
While Republic Iron Steel stocks
have risen somewhat since the i'm
rrovement in the iron and steel bust
ness has taken place. their advance
has not been remarkable. 1t is said
that there has been some buying of
these securities by people who sold
their holdings of the companies going
into the United States Steel Corpora
ton because of the belief that Repu5-
Nc stocks will be more active in the
market as a result of the reduction in

STOCKS-The market continued
highly professional to-day and dis
tinctly two sided. The outside specu-
lative public is still on the side of the
bulls and that element Of the specula-
ton continued to have the situation
well in control. Any new point of
strength which they developed was
pretty well assured Of a respone from
the following of smaller spectators,
who keep the current market going.
The selling to take profits continued
very large and was so skillfulIy man
aged as to do little damage to prices
but there was a bear element among
the traders and they made occasional
demonstrations in the market when
the burden of the realizing seemed in
a way TO overcome the advance. The
bear element however, attracted lit
tie outside following and their opera
tons were not conducted with great
confidence. The most prominent po-
sition in the trading was still held by
Northern Pacific and Burlington and
the constantly recurring strength of
these stocks made ar effective sup
port for the whole market. In the
same degree their many reactions on
profit taking affected the speculative
tone. Burlington opened under pres
sure, and after having advanced to a
record price at 171h. closed with a net
gain of only Is. Northern Pacific al
so made a new high record price at
95h and closed with a net gain of Ia.
There were renewed reports to-day OF
a plan to retire Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, and reports still persisted of
an agreement for consolidation of
Northern Pacific and Burlington. The
course of the steel stocks upon the
entry of the United States Steel Cor
poration stocks when issued) into
the unlisted department of the ex-
change was a Strengthening influence.
Although there was large selling to
realize in the stocks, ample support
was forthcoming and the common was
run up some 2 points Eve yesterdays
price On the curb and the preferred
rather more than that. The stocks of
the constituent companies were
strong in sympathy, the common and
preferred stocks all rising from 2 to
Us.
There were other points OF special
strength. such as Western Union, Man
haitian, the Wheeling & Lake Erie
stocks, showing gains of from 2 to ga
and Lackawanna, which mounted nine
points to far above the highest pre-
cedfng price. Outside OF these indi-
vidual stocks there were few that rose
at any time as much as a point over

prominent stocks were constantly held
back by the pressure of realizing. The

growing day by day that the govern
ment will refrain from any further is
sues Of consols until after the war is
over. 1t is believed that the govern
ment has practically decided not to
borrow any more in this way. because

Knoxville, Tenn, July 3O.-A spe'
cial to the Journal and Tribune from
Crossyille tells Of the killing OF Po-
liceman Pink Pass and W. 4. Knox
and the fatal wounding of Shirley
Pass, son Of the policeman, in 3
street fight at Isoline, Tenn, mining
town eight miles north of Crossville.
Policeman Pass went into section
Of the place known as negro town TO
auell disturbance and became en-
gagged in a row with Knox, who pulled
an ugly looking knife. The police
man then shot him dead. Chief OF
Police Hill ?. Lowery and L. i. Swof-
ford started for the scene of the dis
turbnnce to arrest Policeman Pass,
bxt were met by Shirley Pass and
were told not to go. They had wards
and the officers were ordered back
by Pass, who fourished pistol.
