SHOWING IN ITS ANNUAL REPORT
FAvORABLY COMMENTED ON.
Canada Southern a Valuable Link Of
Vanderbilt Lines-The Southern
Pacifc's Fast Train.

Eastern papers are speaking I'm compli-
mentsry terms of the annual report OF
President McDoel, of the Monon. The
Financier says: "Monon has established a
splendid record. The physical condition of
the property is being steadily improved.
and it's own earning ability beyond its
strategic value will doubtless make it a
good investment for its late purchasers.
When Monon was reorganized in 1897 there
was little equity in the stock of the railway
worth preserving. Since that date and I'M
der the present management the property
has been operated under such improved
methods that gross earnings have increased
over so per cent. and maintenance expendi-
lures show that the amount put back into
the road during this period has increased
100 per cent. The demands of increasing
traffic have been economically adjusted, so
that operating expenses show only frac-
tional increase Conducting transportation.
which four years ago required 30 per cent.
of gross earnings, shows q per cent. during
the year just closed. The successful con-
clusion evident in the last annual report
should be gratifying to the management or
the property"
The United States Investor says: 1.-The
comparative statement Of traffic statistics
shows that the rate per ton per mile was
.757, as against 1871 last year. The tonnage
per train was 313.O6, as against 2s1.24 the
previous year. The tons of freight carried
one mile increased 63.572. 22S tons, to 49,,
go, 146 tons. While the increase in net earn
ings is not large, there Is ground for en-
enlargement. OF course We are comparing
this years earnings with the year which
was considered the banner year for Mo-
non. The company has started its new
fiscal year with earnings ahead of the same
period a year ago. Next spring 1t is the
intention of the company to build eighty
five miles of new road from Indianapolis to
Linton, Greene county, Indiana, which will
open up promising agricultural and tim

Comment on the Wabash Report.

Wall Street Journal
Within a remarkably short time Wabash
has secured an attractive position In the
trunk line territory and has aroused the
interest of the public as well as the rail-
road world. Advance sheets of the thir-
teenth annual report, covering the fiscal
year ending June so, show decided in
crease In gross earnings. large amount
expended to improve the physical condition
of the property, an enormous growth of
traffic and some important changes In the
included at first in the plans formed by
the Goulds TO Develop their interests, and
previous to the acquisition of Wheeling &
Lake Erie this road was considered in the
public eye as being comparatively unim-
portant. Wheeling & Lake Erie runs from
Toledo southeast TO Wheeling, w. Va.
From Steubenville, o., a line sixty miles
long is being built into pittsburg This
move into the greatest freight producing
territory in the country Is considered one
of the most important made by any rail-
road in years. Millions have been spent in
getting an entrance into Pittsburg, and
terminal plans call for the expenditure of
some 100000 more which will place Wa
districts of Pittsburg and south of the Mo-
nongahela river. BY operating in har-
mony with Vest Virginia Central and
Western Maryland, Wabash will have the
shortest route between Omaha, Kansas
City, Chicago and the Underwater terminal
at Baltimore. The latest purchase of Ann
Arbor through the Fuller syndicate was
made for the purpose of feeding the trans
continental line soon to be established.

Executive officials of the Western lines
are considering the advisability of abolish
ing exchange passes in Western territory.
j. T. Harahan, chairman of the Chicago
pass committee. has written a letter to
Chairman Mahoney, of the Western pass
committee, asking him to call a meeting for
the purpose of considering the pass agree
ment for 1903 In the letter Mr.. Harahan
suggests that under existing conditions il
might be best to abolish all exchange passes
In the entire Western territory from Chi
cago to the Pacific coast and from the
Canadian border to the gulf. Mr.. Harahan
points out that the pass agreement is like

During 1902 the trunk lines have maintained
their travelling men in Western territory at
the expense of the Western lines. The
Western lines have at the same time been
compelld to pay for all travelling men i'm
trunk line territory. This, Chairman Hara-
han asserts. Is manifestly an injustice and
one under which the Western lines should
not rest the coming year.

The bad weather has begun to affect

slight. Never before, said wholesale gro
GER have prices ruled so steady month after
month in their line Of trade, and the dry
goods houses report prices as ruling un-
uually steady. There are some slight
changes in the way of adjustment, but not
of any great Importance. On Commission

little change, the supply of fruits and veg
