ROCK ISLAND WILL
RESTORE OLD FARE
Chicago Lines Hold Conference
and Adjust Rate and
Mileage Trouble.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Western rail-
roads have settled their differences re-
garding mileage and rate questions
and the chances are fair for the ulti-
mate return of the Rock Island to mem
bership in the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION and a restoration of har-
mony.
All this was accomplished at a meet
ing held here today. The mileage ques-
tion was settled by the amalgamation
of the three existing mileage bureaus,
and the adoption of three mileage
tickets, which will result in a test of
the merits of the credential system as
against mileage book good on
trains.
The three mileage books which will
be placed on sale in all Western terri
tory on and after Dec. 1 are as fol-
lows:
/. A new 4,Ooo-mfle interchangeable
credential book, which must be honored
by all roads in the amalgamated bureau
2. The present 2,000-mile interchange
able credential book, the use of which is
optional.
8. A new 2,OOO-mile book, good on
trains, use being optional.
All roads must use ticket No. 1 and
must choose between Nos. 2 and g..
The compromise permits the Rock
Island to retain its 1000 mile or ere
Dental ticket, also permits other roads
to use the proposed book good on
trains, and by the substitution of a
new 1000 mile ticket, the two systems
are fairly pitted against each other.
The Rock Island further agreed to
take out the So rate between Chicago
and ST. Paul on Oct. 16. the other
lines to withdraw the rate tomorrow.
The North Western, Milwaukee and
Rock Island were appointed COM
mittee to organize the new ANAL
gamated bureau. 1t is expected that
other differences between the Rock
Island and the Western lines will be
settled soon, a disposition being shown
| to make certain concessions to the
Rock Island in the military, immigrant
and naval bureau.

Camille WeIdenfeId Brings Suit Against
New York Stock Exchange.
ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 6.-Before the
court of appeals today was argued the
proceedings of Camille Weidenfeld to Sc
cure reinstatement in the New York Stock
Exchange, from which he had been sus-
pended for year from Feb "a, 1903, for
alleged completely in the suits to re-
strain the Northern Pacific merger.
1t was urged by counsel for Mr.. Weld
enfield that his suspension was illegal in
that the members of the governing COM
mittee did not give him fair hearing or
permit him to be represented by counsel,
but had determined in advance of the
hearing to GUST him.
1t was further claimed that the resolu-
ton suspending him had been prepared in
advance, and that the members Of the
committee were financially interested in
the decision.
Lewis Cass Ledyard, for the stock
exchange. retorted that the only ques-
ton for the court was whether Weiden-
field had mischosen his remedy. He as
serted that Weidenfeld should have
brought suit in equity instead of pro-
ceeding by mandamus.

for weeks past that the Standard Oil
faction had arrayed itself against Mr..
Morgan and his friends and would hold
out for reduced dividend. The
unanimous action of the board on this
point, however, disposed of these
rumors.
The regular dividend of ~ per cent
on the preferred stock was declared,
payable Nov. Is. The dividend on the
common stock is payable Dec. 80.
The official statement of net earnings
for the quarter (September estimated)
shows; July, $12,3S4,647; August, $1O,-
91S,174; September, SO 100000.
The statement for the nine months
gives total net earnings, after monthly
deductions for repairs, renewals, main
tenanCe and interest on bonds and
fixed charges of the subsidiary COM
panies, $94,613, $50. Deducting amounts
for sinking funds on bonds of sub
stdlary companies and depreciation and
reserve funds, brings the net earnings
down to $82,211, 692. A further deduc-
ton OF interest on the corporations
bonds, including the sinking funds,
leaves balance of $65,97S,217. Divl-
dends on the preferred and common
shares for the nine months aggregate
$36,629,475, leaving balance of undi-.
vided profits or surplus for that period
of SIS, 24S,742.
Trading in the steel stocks was the
chief feature of the market. The COM
mon stock sold as low at 1917, adj
vanced a full point from that figure,
and closed at 17%, fractional net
gain. The preferred stock, on heavier
transactions, sold as high as sc, but
closed at 64B, a one point gain on the
day. Dealings in the sinking fund
bonds were in very large volume, the
price ranging from II to 72%.

board of trade, and w. C. Edgar, of a
local committee, who explained the ar
rangements for the entertainment of
the delegates.
In the afternoon Mr.. Stebbins pre-
scented his report as secretary and
treasurer. The membership of the as
ISOLATION he announced as 255, a gain
OF seventy-five during the past year.
The principal point of his report was a
recommendation that there should be
an inspection which would include the
sealing of grain in cars and a more
extensive use of truck scales. Mr.. Steb-
bins also advocated improved grain
cars.

He said, "in regard to wheat, COM
mercial estimates of productions for
the past year, ending with the crop of
1902, indicated an average of $40, 000, 600
bushels. The exports average annually
1S6, 100000 bushels. This leaves an av-
erage Of 4O4, 000,000 bushels for domes-
tic purposes.
THE average annual area in wheat is
40,500.000 acres. On the basis of pro-
ductton and distribution for the past

ten years, the disposition of wheat has
been 5S per cent for domestic consump-
ton, 10 per cent for seeding and 80 per
cent for exports. The production of
corn during the past ten years shows
an average of 1882, 100000 bushels. The
exports of this grain average $4,000, 900
bushels, leaving an annual average of
100000 bushels for domestic pur-
poses. Concluding, Mr.. Murray said:
Government Reports MaIigned.
So long as there are manipulations
Of markets; spectators who employ
experts to report the condition of crops
in prearranged manner to serve a
defrauding scheme; traders who secure
newspaper interviews calculated to
have market influence; men who will
assume TO have tips relating to forth
coming official information that are
manufactured to serve an unrighteous
purpose-so long as those and kindred
elements are conspicuous In the mar
ket, 1t may be expected that meritori-
GUS work on the part of the govern
ment officers in furnishing agricultural
information and statistics will be sub
1ect to unkind treatment and be held
up as having faults which do not eX-
list, and as not deserving af the conf
dence to which they are entitled by
men governed in such acts and methods
by motives of selfishness not akin to
honesty. while commanding power for
securing undue advantage over others.

The stockholders of the Minneapolis &

but as there was not a quorum present
the meeting adjourned to a later date, to
reconvene in New York, at which time
officers will be elected.
The annual statement shows decrease
in gross earnings of 275,367.75, and a
707.71. The net earnings for the year
decreased $211, 660.14. There was an in
crease in the passenger earnings of $685.
453.07, but this was more than over
come by the decreased freight earnings.
Freight earnings were seriously de-
creased by reason Of poor crops in Iowa,
resulting from the excessive rainfall and
early frosts of 1902 in that territory.
There was also some decrease in freight
earnings because of the loss of the Rock
Island connection at Albert Lea, the bust
ness between Rock Island local stations
in Iowa and the Twin Cities being now
handled by the Rock Island company north
of Albert Lea, instead of by the Mime
apolis & st. Louis, as heretofore.
Ehe work OF revising the graues ana
alignment of that portion of the road be-
tween Hopkins and Chaska, Mimi, which
was begun in the spring of 1902, has been
continued during the fiscal year and should
be completed by the first of November.
When this work Is finished 1t will result
in economy in the operation of the por-
ton of the road over which traffic is more
dense than any other. There was eX-
pended for additions and improvements Of
permanent character during the year,
and charged to capital account, the fol-
lowing sums:
Reconstruction of line. Hopkins to Chas-
ka. 1928, 800 10; betterment and improve
ments $50, 214.65.
Improvements are in progress at Albert
Lea in the way of yard revision and the
construction of a commodious concrete
roundhouse that will cost about SIS, 600.
The company is also building a new
freight house and some additional yards
at Fort Dodge, Iowa, at an expense of
about $35, 600.
