trade and market men stocking UP. In
prices there were no changes from the re-
vision of Thursday. Irish potatoes rule
weak at quotations., but commission men
are reluctant TO let the figures down on
any article. Green tsuf of all kinds is in
abundant supply. Beans and green peas
are selling fairly well at easier prices. Cab
bage is in better supply and is selling low
er. Receipts of Strawberries are quite lib
eral, some good stocks coming from Ten
nessee. Oranges are steady. the supply be-
ing sufficient TO meet the demand, which
is slowing down somewhat. Lemons are
firm, but bananas are i'm good supply and
are selling freely. Green apples are in
light supply and choice fruit sells at the
best quotations readily, largely to the fruit
stands. The produce market is active with
no accumulation of eggs, poultry or choice
butter. plenty of poor butter being Of
fered. Poultry dealers are surprised over
the manner prices are maintained, but see
no relief until receipts increase. which may
not be for some weeks. That there is no
accumulation of eggs is not so much of a
surprise as they are in a considerable
measure taking the place of fresh meats.
Druggists report trade good. Linseed oil
is unsettled and advanced a cent a gallon.
Staple groceries are firm and business is
good. Travelling statesmen who came in

WHOlSTOGfTTH MONON?
STILL 4 QUESTION OVER WHICH
THERE Is MUCH SPECULATION.
Rates on Dressed Meats md Live
stock to Re Advanced July 1.-The
VIII Get Into Detroit.

Large blocks Of stock of the Monon are
changing hands from day to day. and it is
evident that some syndicate is after the
road; whether it be the Southern Railway
or the Louisville & Nashville is the alb
sorbing question, the belief being that the
Louisville & Nashville will secure control
of the property whenever it changes hands.
That ii is the natural northern outlet OF
the latter road is apparent, and if the l.. az
n. should secure the Monon il would great
~ increase the traffic of the former and
give the l.. & n. connections at Chicago
and business from Chicago which would
greatly increase the business of the Monon.
as frelghts for the South now divided be-
tween two or three lines would naturally
go to the Monon. Shipments of dressed
meats from Chicago to the Southern States
are made by trainload daily. Much of the
lumber from the South would be turned to
the Monon by the L. & N, which now gives
this freight to other lines. 1t is stated that
control of the property cannot be secured
at less than par for the stock, but at the
rate the stock is now selling control may
be secured at a less rate. The belief is
that should the Monon change ownership
w. H. McDoel will be placed in charge, so
much has he done TO make the road val
liable, taking 1t when the poorest road IN
Indiana and making it equal TO its COM
p~etitOrs I'm condition and properly e%quipping
II until 1t stands in the front as a north
and-south line. Should the Monon go to
the Louisville & Nashville ii will mean that
the Southern Railway will seek as Its
Northern ally the Cincinnati. Hamilton &

To BE m wabash Interest.

With the statement that the Detroit &
Toledo Short-line will be completed from
Trenton to Detroit, giving another road be-
tween Toledo and Detroit, comes the report
that the Wabash is behind the enterprise.
The Detroit Tribune says: "The Shore line
is double tracked from Toledo to Trenton.
and is built on a private right of way, fitted
for both a steam and an electric railway.
When it is completed to Detroit il is said
that the whole road will be taken over by
the Wabash. 1t is to the interest of the
Wabash people not to buy the Shore line
until it is completed to Detroit. Contractor
Strang already has options on part of the
right of way from Trenton TO Detroit, and
he can finish the road cheaper, probably,
than any other party. Opposition of various
kinds might develop in case IL were def
nitely given out that the Wabash were
going TO build the road that would make
II more costly to complete than under the
present circumstances. The Wabash has
been anxious to secure a road from Toledo
to Detroit for some time, and circumstances
appear to indicate that Ii is about TO realize
its desire this summer said a Wabash
official. There is little doubt but that II is
behind Mr.. Strang in completing the Shore
line, which. when finished. will, in all prob
ability. be turned over to that company at
a price satisfactory to the creditors of the

Freight traffic on the st. Louis. Kansas
City & Colorado Railroad, recently pur-
chased by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cihc, was suspended yesterday as the re-
suit of war declared by the Wabash Rail-
way Company and the Terminal Railway
Association. said the st. Louis Dispatch
last night. Orders a been issued to
the terminal employees not to handle any
business for the Colorado railroad which
comes into st. Louis over Wabash tracks.
The situation is believed to be due direct
ly to the fight between the Mississippi
Valley Trust Company, representing the
Terminal Railway Association, and the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad
to secure control Of the Virgins ferry
property. which would give the Rock Island
the terminal facilities here. Twenty cars
of the Colorado Railroad Company, loaded
with freight and ready for delivery, are

streets, st. Louis.
