CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN.

There has been n steady accumulation OF Chicago
and Great Western stock in the last few weeks in
the local market. apparently for the account Of
people well informed regarding the prospects OF the
company. Aside from the heavy earnings OF the
road in the last few years. reasons exist for the
purchase Of the company's securities. II may %
said excellent authority that developments are
pending which will add value to the various stock
issues Of the road The nature OF these develop
ments cannot be stated at present. but the buying
the stock indicates that a certain number of
favored operators buying the common stock
and debenture r shares in expectation of an i'm
portant announcement. Regarding the Chicago and
Great Western 1t is interesting note that under
Company the management of the details Of opera
tion Is left with the board of directors but the
board is elected by the whole body of the pro-
prietorship the dehenture and all other stocks
have equal vote in electing the directors. The
company has been spending enormous amounts of
money its property In the last few years As
the company has lines from Chicago TO Kansas
City, ST Paul and Omaha, II is Of great strategic
Importance and would prove a valuable addition
some of the larger companies In that part of the
country In the last three years the greater part
with gravel. except I'm the Southwest: where gravel
is obtainable crushed stone has been used. In
about the time every tie and all the wooden
bridges in the whole line have been renewed, and
in the renewal than half of the wooden
bridges have been made permanent with earth over
stone arch waterways.

DELAWARE AND HUDSON.

f. f. saward. Editor of The Coal Trade Jour
nal says:
There is excellent reason for believing that the
rumOrs in regard to Erie-Delaware and Hudson
matters mean this: The Delaware and Hudson
now sells upward Of half a million tons annually
frCm mires at Wilkesbarre and vicinity the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for shipment
South. and the plan is probably for shipments for
points reached by the Erie Railroad be sold by
the Erie sales agents on a similar basis Thus. il
will be seen that the Delaware and Hudson in no
wise loses its mdNdl ality, and its general sales
agency remains before to for line business.
The advantage to the Erie lies in the fact that 1t
Will absolutely secure for the future the freight
rPon the large amount of coal now shipped West
by 1t for the Delaware and Hudson. and which
might in the event of future results, go 10 the
New-York Central, Ontario and Western any
other road which in future years might secure
trol of the Delaware and Hudson. AT the same
time the coal department of the Eric will derive
such benefit may accrue from the sale of the
Delaware and Hudson coal, and the prestige aris-
ing from such representation. is asset of no
slight Importance. There is good for deny
ing that there is any truth in reports regarding
changes in the railroad department OF the Della
and Hudson.
