Refined sugars were advanced 10 points at
New York yesterday Canned goods are not
changed, although one jobber puts ii, the
flirting damsel canned tomato, is again
coquetting with the trade" Some packing
concerns anxious to convert a portion of
their stock into ready cash, have made

tendency to depress the market. but local
quotations for No. / standards have not
been changed
Dried fruits are holding firm at quota
lions. On Commission row Irish potatoes
are firmer, and with cooler weather prob
ably will advance. Dealers are cautious
about storing, owing to the fact that con-
siderable off stock is arriving, the warm
weeks past not having allowed the pota-
toes to mature properly, and they spoil
quickly. Prices at shipping points have ad-
Vanced, but locally are not up in accord
ance with country figures, jobbers fearing
to so boom the market here as to encour-
age shipments of stock which may not ar
rive in good condition. Sweet potatoes have
advanced slightly, but the demand is not
as strong as it was earlier in the season.
Cabbages are in large supply and move
slowly. The apple market is overstocked
and prices are weak. Storage rooms are
crowded and holders are anxious to sell all
new arrivals quickly. Fresh eggs are scarce
Hens are not productive, the moulting sea-
son being longer than usual, and supplies
come in slowly. Poultry is firm. Turkeys
bid fair to be in good supply for Thanks

The Mileage Book.

The mileage book system is now becom-
ing well established, and this is largely due
to the persistent efforts of the commercial
travellers associations for reduced rates.
These associations were aided materially in
the downward tendency of rates as compe-
tition has increased and equipment i'm
proved. There are those who favor max
ing cents a mile the regular rate, and
doing away with the mileage book. The
mileage book system came in when the
railroads granted reduced rates to ship
pers, and was then extended to include
commercial travellers. There also came a
ruling of the lnterstate-commerce law that
reduced rates should apply to all passen-
gers, and, to protect the passenger earn
lngS from going below a profitable basis,
the roads placed such restrictions upon the
use of mileage books that the books are
in very little demand by occasional trav-
elers. These restrictions will lessen until
mileage book tickets will represent cash.
for, as roads gain position where two
cent a-mile rate is profitable, the owner
ship of the mileage book will not be ques-
toned The interchangeable mileage syS-
tenn Will also steadily spread, for the COM
munity of interest policy has evidently
come to stay. An agreement between pres
ldentS will influence every department OF
railroads. The movement, however, to
have mileage books good over trunk lines.
Central Passenger Association lines and
Western Passenger Association lines does
not meet with favor with either CONNER
cial travellers or shippers, as II requires
too much money advanced for the use of
a book larger than two thousand miles.
In fact, books containing one thousand
miles are the most popular, and will likely
continue So

WAGES OF RAILROAD Men
FORTY PANHANDLE CLERKS AT
WORK FIGURING THE NEW SCALE.
The Mileage Book System Now Well
Esta bIished-Freight Congestion
Reported Mt Many Points.

General Superintendent Ralph Peters, Of
the Pennsylvania Southwestern system,
left last night for Pittsburg to be present
at a meeting to-day of the officials to dis
cuss the new wage scale. which went into
effect, dating back to Nov. /. Over forty
clerks have been at work for a couple OF
days in Columbus adjusting the wage scale
TO the advance. The Columbus Dispatch
says: 1.-The figuring of the advance in
wages of the shop employees is very COM
plicated matter. The increase will AFFECT
over six thousand men on the Southwest
system, and will mean an increase in the
operating expenses of the system of $4,000.
The wages Of each of these six thousand
men will have TO be increased. In figuring
increasing wages. the wages at December
81. 1901, are taken as the basis Thus the
wages of those who have received an adj
vance since this date are not affected. In
figuring the advance in wages of men who
are working on the piece-work plan. the
prices paid for piece work are not advanced
and will not be for some time, 10 per cent.
being added TO the total wages of the men
at each payday. The piece prices have not
been advanced since December 81, 1901, and
this plan will receive an increase. 1t is
understood that the position and not the
man Is increased. That is, If a man has
received a promotion since Dec. 81, 1901, the
amount paid to the position which he now
holds Will be advanced 10 per cent.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-11-19

The following circular letter to heads of
departments was issued yesterday by the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad officials.
with reference to the increase in the wages
of its employees: Taking effect Nov. 1,
1902, the wages of all employees will be
equalized with those paid by railway COM
panies in this vicinity. Detailed instruc-
tions will be supplied on application" The
increase VIII rot take the form of 10 per
cent advance all around, as was the case
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
for the reason, it was said, that many
Reading employees are receiving higher sal
aries than those paid by the Pennsylvania
and other roads in this section.
President Ramsay, of the Wabash Rail-
road has made an offer to striking en-
pIoyes of shops in Springfield, ILL., j. b.

of cents an hour to all employees receiv-
ing less than 80 cents per hour. Those re-
ceiving more than 80 cents are to be ad-
vanced l cent per hour. Helpers are to be
given one-half cent advance. The shops
here have been idle for the past three
weeks The strikers have not yet taken &C
ton on the offer of an increase. They ask
an increase of cents per hour for boiler

Double Track Line to st. Louis.

Within few months the Chicago & East
ern Illinois will have the only double-track
line between Chicago and St. Louis. This
fact was disclosed yesterday by proofs of
new maps of the Frisco system which is in
course of preparation. The new map shows
the Chicago-St. Louis line, which will form
a connection with the Eastern Illinois and
Frisco proper. The engineering department
of the Eastern Illinois is now preparing to
begin the building necessary to complete
the line. The Big Four figures in the mat
ter in so far as the new construction will
give that company line between st. Louis
and Indianapolis sixteen miles shorter than
the present line and double-track facilities
nearly all of the distance. The Eastern llli-
nois will build double-track line from
East ST. Louis to HilsbOro, and single
track will DE constructed from Hillsboro to
Pana, between which points the Big Four
line extends. From Pana the Eastern Hi
nois will build to Findlay, ILL.,, where con-
hection Will be made with the present East
ern Illinois line to Thebes. The new St.
Louis-Chicago line will be in operation be-
fore the opening of the St Louis fair.
