A TROLLEY CHAT.

Mr.. Harry Perrine has entered suit
for ejectment against the Jersey Cen
tral Traction Company. They were
a nuisance to him. 1t is said they or
dered his workmen to get out Of their
way when they were working for him.
He gave them the right of way on
a road through some property, but it
leads around and passes the cemetery.
In the estimation Of some, all that
the trolley company have been figuring
on was to join the "A. g. 8. trolley
road and get the right Of wa, to the
bridge, and as for the interest," OF
people and property holders that they
cared not for. The parties think that
the borough ought to receive some
benefit from it. W
That idea tallies with what the
Hon. J. Montgomery said regarding
the M. s. S. Traction Company, that
if the Jersey Central went aronnd the
borough them. g s. wouldn't think
of running throught he borough..either,
but would pull up their tracks, as the
little traffic wouldn't count sand they
wouldn't care for that. The position
Mr.. Perrine has taken regarding the
right of way through his property,
will not allow the company to come
down Broadway as proposed BY them
in their application, even if the coun-
Gil grants the franchise for that route
and they will be forced to 60 past the
cemetery or outside of the borough.
There are number of people as
well as some Of the councilmenx who
think that is only bluff. but the
Hon. John M. is very earnest in his
opinion that there is no bluff and that
the company means just what it SAYS,
If the council grants the franchise, as
one councilman says they will, they
are perfectly safe in SO doing as Mr..
Perrine cannot be bought and he
places great obstacle in the way. Is
there another bluff on the other side
of the house? Several Of the council
men are greatly opposed to the route
as laid down in this last application
and yet it is said they will grant 1t.
1t would appear that great deal can
be read between the lines. One party
may be as good at blufing as they
think the other party is.

TRADE CONDITIONS.


n. G. Dun & Co.'s Returns Quite SAT-
isfactOry. s4a
NEW YORK, July 1S.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
At the lowest point on, Wednesday
the average of the sixty most active
railway stocks was $S9.18 SURPRISING
all low records since the memorable
collapse on May 0, 1901, when the aver
age touched $S625. In neither case
was liquidation in Wall street due to
depression in legitimate business, be-
ing confined to the stock market and
financial influences. Conditions con-
tinue satisfactory outside the region of
speculation, many reports indicating
further improvement. During recent
months the two disturbing factors have
been labor controversies and weather
conditions, but each week has brought
better things in. these two respects un-
til the outlook contains much that is
encouraging. Crops are making rapid
progress, and the army Of unemployed
is diminishing s's-sss~
Railway traffic is heavy, earnings
thus far reported for July exceeding
last years by 1876 per cent and those
Of 1901 by 1872 per cent. Extensive
preparations are being made to move
the crops. and 1t is hoped that no block
ades will occur. although there is some
doubt as to whether adequate motive
power can be secured. Retail trade In
seasonable merchandise Is fully up to
the average. and there is less than the
customary midsummer quiet among
wholesalers. while the preparations Of
jobbers and manufacturers indicate
confidence in a large fall business.
Bank exchanges at New York for the
week were .9.6 per cent smaller than
year ago and 1872 per cent less than in
1901, while at other leading cities there
was a loss of 8 from last year and
gain Of 3.4 over 1901.
