Morgan Horse Notes.

A very neat catalogue of registered
Morgan horses, owned at Bread Loaf
Stock Farm, has been printed by the
Register Company. There are al of the
consecutively numbered animals, besides
illustrated descriptions of Daniel Lam
bert, Denning Allen, Motion and Rocky
Mountain. General Gates is at the head
of the stud, fee S25, and Duke of Albany,
and the two-year-old colt Thoughtful,
by Thought, out of Columbian Jessie,
are also for service. The latter is a
particularly promising youngster, inbred
to Daniel Lambert. General Gates and
Duke of Albany are both getting most
creditable stock. 1t is probable that
selections from the farm will he sent to
the st. Louis Exposition.
The Trotter and PAGER, one of the best
turf journals in the country, published
in New York city in its last weeks
issue, reprinted the entire chapter de-
voted to the breeding of Seely's Ameri
can, from Vol of The Morgan Horse
and Register. 1t occupied about two
and one-half pages of the paper men,
toned. The editor, Mr.. Toman, said
concerning it:
1--WE present elsewhere, by the court
eous permission of its author, Mr.. Joseph
Battell, extracts from his valuable book,
The Morgan Horse, revealing the evil
dence collected by that gentleman in
support of his theory that Seely's Ameri
can Star was sired by Coburns American
Star he by Cock of the Rock, son of
Sherman Morgan; making the great
stallion, whose blood blended so mar
vellously with that of Rysdyk's Hambe
tonian in the formation of one of the
fastest and stoutest- hearted branches of
the American trotting family, a descend
ant of the famous horses of the New
England hills, rather than the offspring
of the hot blood of the thoroughbred.
We leave Mr. Battels evidence in the
case to be weighed and criticised by our
readers, expressing our own opinion that
it is more conclusive as to the truth of
American Stars ancestry than any thing
we have seen elsewhere on the subject,
and inviting the opinion of any who may
have views to offer"
This publication by the New York
paper Is sure TO elicit an interesting
discussion, which cannot fail to support
the cause of truth. for the long accepted
version of the breeding of American
Star rested upon the flimsiest founda
ton; indeed it was bubble which
burst at the first touch of honest inves-

The volume of traffic now moving is gov

this is due more to a congestion in bust

crippled in handling it's business through
shortage in power and Inconvenience by
lack of sufficient terminals More grain
is being shipped than last month; still, it is
far short of the quantity of previous years
in late October. More hogs are being

meat shipments have increased the present

heavy as at present, and all mills in In

capacity. providing they can get wheat of
desirable grade. The fine weather admits
of free shipments of fruits and vegetables.
and in such lines business is large. Poultry
shipments to Eastern markets have set in
of late quite heavily. The various Indian

The week ended Saturday was disap-
pointing as to volume of business in some
lines, especially the first half of the week,
gave more life to trade and in summing up
the weeks business, the aggregate is fully
up to the usual average and in some lines
is in excess. AS was expected, the increased
strength in green coffee for some weeks has
given a much firmer tone to that market
locally, and it is declared by grocers that
other advances are not unlikely. The sugar
demand is quiet The difference between
the price of refined and cost of raw is so
small that the refiners say there is no room
for any reduction In quotations. Flour is
steady quoted, with no new features ex-
cept that the demand is large. Produce
is rather quiet There were not many
changes In prices of lima beans, and like
articles are very firm at prices quoted.
Tomatoes are in light supply, and fancy
are found on the market, and the season is
practically over. Concord grapes are FAIR
ly plentiful, and are bringing higher figures:

active at unchanged prices. Druggists are
having an excellent trade, prices on all

As a result of the failure of the passenger
officials to grant reduction in excess bag
gage rates the wholesale houses and the
atrical companies determined to meet
the case by lessening the number of trunks
carried Heretofore the statesmen of dry
goods have been going about the country
with three, six. ten, or fifteen trunks, ac-
cording to the line they carried. They
had helpers to pack and unpack the trunks
and often had enormous excess baggage bills
between various points, where big towns
were made. This expense was enormous
and the dry goods men tried to reduce 1t.
The railroads thought 1T was somewhat of
a nuisance-a profitable one. however-and
they refused to lower the rates. The re-
suit is that the dry goods travelling sales
men this year have dismissed their helpers
and are carrying watches or small sam
pies of goods. instead of the larger pieces.
Other lines of business have done the same
thing The samples have been lessened and
the wholesaler Is getting rid of a big ex-
cess baggage bill. This line has been profit
able 10 the railroads. which have reape0
a rich harvest from this trade. The whole
salers and the theatrical companies have
been the big sources of revenue for excess
baggage. The change means loss of thou
sands of dollars year TO the railroads.

The declaration of a dividend of III per
cent on the second preferred stock, the
first ever paid on this issue. draws the at
tention to the interesting history of the
Philadelphia & Reading road, which in
some respects is more sensational than that
of any other railroad in the United States.
The Reading Company was chartered by
the Legislature in 1911 The company en-
joyed brief period of prosperity until 1850,
when the old Reading Railroad was placed
in the hands of a receiver; three years later
the receiver was discharged and payment
of all interest in full was resumed, but in
the following year the company again
passed under a receivership. and in 1887 the
company was recognized and the receiver
ship again terminated. But since that time
competent railroad men have taken hold
and have reinstated the property as
dividend-paying line and of increased i'm
portance as a railroad system. In 1880 A.
A. Mcleod. who was in some respects the
most brilliant railroad man this country
has ever produced, acquired control.
He conceived the ambitious plan of COM
bining all the anthracite coal-carrying
roads and coal-producing companies. Under
his management the Reading again leased
the. Jersey Central in 1892 later in the same
year two Jersey courts declared the lease
turned to it's owners in 1892. Not satisfied
with these properties, Mr.. Mcleod, in the
same year, acquired IOr the fledulnS the
Poughkeepsie bridge and invaded New
England by securing an interest in the Bos-
ton & Maine. The activity of Mcleod
aroused opposition among the powe rful
financial interests, and the Morgan. and
Vanderbilt people. who at first were friend
ly, began to oppose its plans AS result
Mr. Mcleod was unable to carry through
his plans, and in 1898 the Reading again
entered the hands of a receiver. and
through the foreclosure and reorganization
in 1896 the company passed under control
of J. p Morgan & Co.. who largely fol-
lowed the plans formulated by Mr.. Nc
Leod, In 1901, purchasing a controlling in
terest in the Jersey Central for the third
time The Philadelphia & Reading can no
longer be considered an independent prop
erty as In 1903 the Baltimore e. Ohio and
the Lake Shore jointly acquired control of
the company. thereby putting an end to
its independent existence. The company
controls the road and its anthracite coal in
terests. which are under charge of c. f.
Henderson, first vice president of the prop
erty. His policy is dictated by the Balti-
more & Ohio. which represents the Penn
sylvania interest, while the Lake Shore
represents the Vanderbilt interests.
