Panhandle improvements.

Orders nave been issued by the Pan
handle Railroad Company that, beginning
yesterday, all classes of locomotives will
be able to use the Monongahela bridge from
Pittsburg to Birmingham. The old bridge
has practically been replaced by a new
one, and the work has been tedious. With
the resumption of heavy traffic facilities
at Pittsburg have been considerably en-
larged, and on Saturday for the first time
the heavy Ed passenger engines were run
by the Panhandle into the Union Station.
Arrangements ave been made with the
Pittsburg division to take care of these
locomotives at Twenty-eighth street, here
tofore they have been cared for at Sheri-
dan. Conveniences are extremely limited at
Pittsburg, and il is understood that the
Panhandle has prepared plans for a modern
roundhouse and shops at Skully, where a
freight yard is being constructed by the
Pittsburg, Carriers & Youghiogheny
branch. With the new Monongahela bridge
the new wings to the new Ohio connection
and the Brilliant cutoff the Panhandle
business will be diverted In so many direc-
tons that 1T will be necessary to have
ample shop accommodations. The Pan
handle bridge across the M~onongahela was
raised several feet in order TO meet new
grades which will be established.

The National Association of Manufacture
ers of Steel Products has petitioned the rail-
roads for special concessions in freight
rates similar to those which were recently
granted the steel manufacturers on export
products. This association is composed of
concerns located all over the country and
having an extensive trade not only in the
United States but abroad. 1t is hardly prob
able that such a petition will be enter
ment when a reduced rate for iron and
steel for exports was granted. inquiry was
made of a prominent traffic official what
action would be taken by the road If such a
request were made. His answer was that
it would not be granted and that he had
already formulated an argument. against
question would have to be met sooner or
later.

Mr.. Fee Is Optimistic.

Charles s. Fee, general passenger agent
of the Northern Pacific. was in the city
yesterday the guest OF John Turner, district
passenger agent of the road. Mr.. Fee
reports the passenger business of their lines
as being especially promising. Already
fifteen special trains to the Pacific coast
nave been arranged for, stopping at yell
ial trains will be limited to $50 passengers,
and in that manner it is expected TO pre-
vent the hotels in Yellowstone Park being
crowded. He says travel on the Northern
Pacific is largely in excess of any former
year at the present time and 1904 will Doubt
less break all records. The growth of local
business has been remarkable. New towns
ready located are increasing in population.
The freight business of the road is limited
only by cars to load and engines to haul
the freights.

HANDLING OF CARS
AN IMPORTANT ITEM.
Much Is to BE Gained by the Various
Interests Getting Together.

1t Is apparent that it is desirable that
shippers and the roads centering at In
dianapolis and all lines traversing In
diana should reach a better understand
ing as TO the handling of cars. Both ship
pers and railroad officials admit that the
superintendent of the Car Service Associa-
ton is. in the main, right in enforcing the
rules of the association. but in some par
ticulars his rulings are arbitrary. Were
the three interests to get together and dis
cuss the matter it might prevent bitter
feeling towards the roads on the part of
shippers over the per diem question and
other matters connected with the present
hostile agitation which is among the pos
sibilities unless an agreement is reached.
The fiscal year just closed was the first
year when freight cars have been charged
for on the per diem basis as against the
cld-fashioned mileage basis. With most
roads it resulted in a handsome saving i'm
the item of expense called car service, but
a saving so general. it is argued, must be
special thing to which the per diem plan for
settlement OF freight car service charges
calls attention. There are some roads.
especially the New England, where the
aggregate losses will not offset the aggre-
gate gain on other roads-that is, the losses
have not all been borne by the delinquent
railroad or those roads of limited terminal
facilities. A large part of the savings
through the operations of the per diem
bureau nave been drawn from the public.
not by exacting higher charges or giving
less of essential service, but by abolishing
the useless and wasteful detention of cars
which can be OF use to the shipper or the
consignee. Railroads do not build freight
cars for warehouses and auction rooms,
or as is often the case, to store fruits and
vegetables and other lines of freight until
the consignee can dispose of them. The
public, as well as the stockholders, are
interested In the elimination of waste for a
service which costs the railroads more than
1t benefits the public. The movement of
ordinary freight on express time, with un-
due extension of free lighterage or switch
ing limit. has grown to be an abuse, and
the per diem rule goes far to adjust the diff
ference. Under the per diem rule, if lived
up to, shippers and consignees will be bene-
fitted and the railroads be able to supply
cars in much greater numbers.

FOREIGN VIEWS OF THIS

prosperity. and have suggested that investors
In railroad securities might do well to pay par

THE IRON N STEEL TRADE.
1T is now freely recognized in the States that
the spell of abnormal prosperity for American
iron and steel industries is over for the time
being. With characteristic courage and true
commercial insight, manufacturers there are not
attempting TO disguise this unpleasant fact. but
are making every effort To INT them
selves and their works to the new conditions
which have arisen. The leading trade journals
speak openly OF the rapid decline of consumption.

LOWER COTTON PRICES.
Bearish Feeling Abroad Was the Big
Factor Yesterday.
[By A. r. Thompson & Co.'S Wire.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE cotton market ig-
nored the disappointing cables this morning and
opened active and higher. The chief buying mo-
tive was advices from the South denoting a good
market for spots. with spot markets generally
firm. Private advices from abroad indicated a
bearish feeling on the part of foreigners, and
houses here with Liverpool connections were fair
ly good sellers throughout the day. Large esti-
mated receipts for tomorrow had a depressing
effect and induced further selling OF n general
character, but late in the session the market
steadied somewhat. Trading sentiment Is consid-
erably mixed. and in view of the growth of bear
ish ideas a reactionary movement does not seem
improbable. On any good decline to around the
12c level we advise purchases of the spring and
summer months.
