10000 SHARES SOLD.
Record of One Days Trading in
A. T. & s, F. Stock.

A New York stock exchange dispatch
says: Atchison was practically the only
stock that showed any activity whatever
today. The total sales amounted to
about 100000 shares, of which Atchison
contributed 900 shares. Only one
other stock, Rock Island showed sales
amounting to as much as $1,000 shares.
The sharp strength of Atchison last Fri
day while the rest of the market was
depressed had excited unusual interest,
and rumors had been circulated that the
company was to be absorbed by the
Pennsylvania. Atchison opened strong
to-day, and during the early trading ad-
vanced over a point to 6S1s, the highest
price touched on the present movement.
Around 6S heavy selling caused a de-
cline of nearly points from the highest
and closing with a net loss for the day.
The cause of the recent activity and
strength, it may be stated on positive
authority, was the extremely large short
interest existing in the stock ten days
ago. This alone was estimated to be
fully 100 900 shares. For some reason,
which Wall street has never been able
to clearly explain, Atchison has always
been one of the faVorite stocks to sell
short.
Several weeks ago, when the rumors
were being circulated of serious damage
to the crops, a large number of the pro-
fessional traders sold Atchison short as
a hedge against their other holdings. AS
a result of this selling on the part of
London and domestic spectators very
large short interest had accumulated
Last week several large operators or
ganized a pool to force this short in
tereSt to cover. 1t was said at the time
that it was the intention of this pool
to force the price to 80, but judging
from the character of the selling today
the pool has already succeeded in exc

SMALLER THAN EXPECTED.
Rock Island Earnings on Common
Stock Will Be z 1-2.

Advance figures given by the Rock
Island officials show the earnings for
the year to have been around 71s per
cent. on the common stock of the New
Jersey holding corporation, which is
about half of that which enthusiastic
interests declared would be shown. but
then the prediction was made when the
stock was being placed on the market,
and due allowance was then made for
that feature of the exuberant state
ments The detailed figures have not
been given for the several properties,
but the Rock Island direct group shows
surplus to the common stock issued
against the original holdings, of So 1885,,

added the s1,s73,OOO liquidation of the
Choctaw bonds issued for the control
of that property. which raises the total
to III per cent
The estimates do not include the
Frisco earnings or the securities issued
against them. On the basis of Frisco's
earnings there is an additional balance
of S1,70S, 736. which equals 1853 on the
entire common stock of ss9. 932. 300.

ROOTED CARSON OUT.
One Explanation for the "Resigna-
ton" of Kansas City Official

w. S. Carson, the former superin-
tendent of terminals of the Missouri
Pacific railway in Kansas City, who
was recently transferred to Little
Rock, Ark, has resigned. His place is
to be filled by F. E. Cory, formerly
trainmaster of the Iron Mountain at
Wynne, Ark. w. S. Carson is the man
who ran the fifteen locomotives on the
Missouri Pacific bridge when the flood
swept through the Kaw valley last
June 1t was his foresight which saved
the bridge. When it was announced
not MANY weeks later that Mr. Carson
was to be transferred to Little Rock,
it caused general surprise. as the posi-
ton at Little Rock was less important
than that in Kansas City. Railroad
men said it might be the first step in

QUEER SITUATION.
California Citrus Fruit Difficulty
Takes an Unexpected Turn.

1t will be remembered that a year or
more ago the initial railroads in Cali
fornia assumed the right to route the
citrous fruit movement regardless of the
wishes of the shippers. 1t also will be
recalled that in the case submitted to
the interstate commerce commission the
decision was against the railroads and
that an order was issued directing them
to observe the shippers directions in
this regard. This order has been ignored
by the railroads and now a new phase
of the question has appeared 1t is a
common practice among railroads to
hold themselves absolved from loss or
damage which occurs on the line of a
connecting road, but, regardless of this
rule, the Southern Pacific has been sued
in a case of that kind. 1t must be con-
fessed that there is good ground for
such action. If the railroad assumes the
right to select the agencies by which it's
contract is to be carried out it must
also assume responsibility for the negli-
gence of such agents. 1t is very possible
that it may be able to reimburse itself
by a claim against such agent, but, so
far as the shipper is concerned, there
can be no doubt as to where his remedy
lies. Having no voice in the selection
of the route he can only look for in
demnity to the carrier with which he
contracted for the through service. The
whole question presents many points of
interest and the outcome will be looked
for with some anxiety.-Railway Age.

Great $13,ooo,ooo Cutoff Across
Salt Lake Nearing Completion.

Oficials of the Southern Pacific an
nounce that the lob miles of railroad
known as the Lucin cutoff, which is be-
ing built across Great Salt Lake at an
estimated cost of $13.000.000, will be
ready for operation within the next six
months 1t is expected that the actual
running time between Ogden and san
Francisco will be reduced more than
two hours as the result of the improve
ment. More than four hours are now
consumed in covering the 146 miles OF
mountainous road around the north end
of the lake from Ogden to Luc1n and
hereafter trains will reach the same des-
tination over railroad built straight
across the lake. 40 miles shorter and
nearly straight
The cutoff is regarded as a remark
able feat in railroad construction and
has been in progress OF building for
several years. Mountains of earth and
rock have been used in filling the cause
way across the lake and piles go feet
long have been driven into the bed of
the lake. Spliced on top of one another
in order to get through the false bot
tom. The roadbed when completed will
be approximately IA miles long, reaching
from the east shore of the lake at a
point near Little mountain. directly east
for a distance of eight miles to Promon-
tory point. The latter is of rock forma-
ton and is four miles wide The fill
starts again on the east side of this and
where the water reaches a depth of %
feet From the west side of the lake
the fill extends a distance of eight miles,
where the water is of such depth that
further filling is impossible.
For the entire distance of IA miles the
fill rises above the water to a height of
from IA to 16 feet. 1t is from 20 to 60
feet wide on the top and slopes away
easily to the water line. This work has
required the operation of seven great
steam shovels. each of which lifts five
yards of earth a a time.
The construction of the trestle work
on the cutoff is another interesting fea-
ture of the undertaking. Twenty eight
miles of piling will have to be driven
when the cutoff is completed and more
than IS miles of this is now standing.
The distance across the lake is % miles
and for Il miles of this the water is too
deep to permit of earth and rock filling.
Three thousand men are now at work
on the cutoff in an effort to complete
the work in schedule time.
