The wisdom of the general passenger
agents in making the limit for tickets for
the holidays eleven days was plainly dem
0nStrated by the volume OF business ham
died. In no former year was travel OF this
class so extensive. large number of
trains the last three days were late in ar
irving, owing TO frequent stops for passen-
gers, and with the numbers who took pas
sage, a delay of two or three minutes at
a way station means late trains at termin-
ais. 1t further demonstrates that the
steam roads. when they meet rates Of troll
ley lines, will secure their share of business.
There is talk of changes on the Chicago,
Burlington e. Quincy. President Harris of
the Burlington, when asked il the selection
OF Daniel Willard to be second vice pres
ident of the Burlington meant that changes
would be made in the operating force, re-
piled: MIR. Willard has been selected to
MI the position formerly occupied by Mr..
Elliott and with exactly the same power.
1t Will be for him to say when he gets here
anu LOOKS over the ground Wnetner any
changes are necessary" Another official
says there is a strong possibility that the
operating department OF the Burlington
may undergo a severe overha uling and that
several old master mechanics may be re-
tired. There are likely to be several
changes among division superintendent
and there is strong probability that the
road will be redivided for operating pur-
poses into lines east and west of the Mis-
souri, river.
An official of the Pere Marquette, in
speaking of that line getting into Chicago,
said that it's alliance with the Lake Shore
Is the ideal one The fact that 200 miles
of railroad tributary to large railroad
center like Chicago did not have an en-
trance is like stopping the Pennsylvania
at Elizabeth, N. j., or the New York, New
Haven & Hartford at Hyde Park. Up to
had no return freight from Chicago and
has been unable to transact any business
with the roads centering at that city; the
line had to send its Chicago freight over the
Michigan Central and the return freight
the Michigan Central has carried over its
own line as far as possible and then turned
Ii over, whereby the Marquette secured
little more than a switching charge. The
Pere Marquette has been paying $350,o00 per
annum to the Michigan Central and getting
very little out of it. Under the
| rangement by which the road enters Chi
cago over the Lake Shore it costs less than
$4,000 per annum and places the Pere
Marquette in a position to largely increase
its earnings.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
HOLIDAY CONDITIONS PERvADE THE
MARKETS EVERYWHERE.
More IdIeness in Industries than for
Years, but Trade Collections Are
Improvfng-Money Easy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say: Holiday conditions pervade the mar
kets. and most OF the exchanges are closed
until Monday. Manufacturing plants are
stopping for inventories and repairs. in
many cases the extent of idleness being
considerably greater than for the corre-
spending season in recent preceding years.
There has been liberal volume of bust
ness in holiday goods. but reports are some
what conflicting in comparison with 1902.
An encouraging sign is the Improvement in
collections.
Railway traffic was not seriously i'm
peded by recent storms, owing to better
methods OF operation, and earnings thus
far reported for December exceed last
years by per cent. Agreements are being
made with little friction as To wage reduc
tions, except in the case of coal mining, and
several idle plants have fixed the date for
resuming work. Few labor disputes are in
progress, and steel producers look for much
new business early next month
Engagements of gold were checked by a
sharp recovery in foreign exchange, al
though receipts have raised treasury gold
holdings far above all previous records, and
money is unusually easy for the season.
Owing to the decrease in speculation, bank
exchanges for the week were 1871 per cent.
smaller than year ago at New York, while
at other leading cities there was "A gain of
% per cent.
Leading interests in the iron and steel
industry brought more stability to the situ-
alton by deciding against any further reduc-
tons in quotations, and there are numerous
indications that prospective purchasers do
not intend to delay placing contracts beyond
the season of inventories and repairs. Elk
pressions of opinion are heard in many
prominent markets that orders will begin
to appear about the middle of January, and
a liberal volume Of business will be placed
for work to be done early in 1904.
Failures this week numbered 2S4 in the
United States, against 200 last year, and
twenty-five in Canada, compared with
twenty-one a year ago..

WILL EXPEND LARGE SUMS
ELABORATE TERMINALS FOR PENN
SYLyANIA AND LACKAWANNA.
Important Changes Rumored on C.. II.
& Q.-The Year 1904 Promises Well
for Locomotive Works.

The 100000 improvements planned by
the Pennsylvania at New York city and
by the Lackawanna are on an elaborate
scale. The Pennsylvania station proper
will cover two blocks between Seventh and
Eighth avenues and Thrty-frst and Thir-
ty-third streets. The remaining two blocks
will be used as train yards beneath the
surface, while above ground ii is said that
the new uptown postoffice may be built.
This plan may be blocked by the property
owners and tenants in the vicinity, who
are already considering the drawing up of
a petition to the city that it make OF the
surface of the two blocks a large pleasure
park. The final plans OF the station have
not been announced and the architects say
that such plans as they have at present
may be altered, but as far as can be
learned the structure will be something
after this fashion: The building will rise
only sixty feet from the surface, but from
the lowest floor to the roof it will have
height of one hundred and sixty feet. Its
capacity will be twice as large that of
any other station in the world, and the
trainshed will have twenty-five tracks. 1t
will be 500 feet long and 400 feet wide, thus
having a total frontage of $500 feet. The
facade Will be of granite with great pillars
at regular intervals. The roof will be of
granite and iron. The entrance will be on
Seventh avenue, and entering this way you
will find yourself In a long arcade. fianked
with shops of all sorts. Stairways, esca-
lators and elevators will carry passengers
TO the waiting-room, seventeen feet below
the surface Of the street. and beneath this.
forty feet underground, will be the train
shed. The trains will continue under
ground to Long Island City, where they
will be shifted and returned. The power to
be used In the underground system is cleo
tricity. There will be an easy incline for
carriages. leading from Thirty-fourth street
to the platforms. Thirty-second street, be-
tween Seventh and Ninth avenues, will be
closed. This privilege together with the
franchise. cost the railroad company 81
65O,oo0 and the company agrees to make
payment for the franchise in a sum to be
readtusted every twenty-five years, and
which will begin at so cents, rising in
ten years to 81 per foot for every mile of
track that it may lay in the city limits

Lackayvanna improvements.

With the return of President Truesdale
from abroad, it is announced that work
will begin at once on the LackawannaS
terminal at New York city. The building
will be entirely of steel, and will be one of
the most modern and complete ferry
houses in the city. A unique feature of
its construction will be the exterior, which
is to be entirely of copper. There will be a
central door, surmounted by dome 1855
feet high. Three ferry-slips will be pro-
vided, afrording frequent service, not only
TO the Lackawanna Railroads Hoboken
terminal, but also to Fourteenth street,
Hoboken. There will be waiting-rooms
on the first and second floors. and as soon
as the road secures its new fleet OF double
decked ferryboats passengers will be able
to board the boats direct from the upper
floors. The building will have four arched
entrances, with a covered archway fifty
feet wide. This will enable vehicles con-
tanning passengers to secure ample protec-
ton in Indictment weather. Ii Is planned
also to have surface cars traverse tracks
carried beneath these arches SO that pas
sengers may be delivered direct 10 the en-
trance of the building.
1t is probable that before these plans are
completed additional buildings for the ac-
commodation of railroad traffic will be de-
termined upon, which will make the
length of the structure approximately 600
feet. The work is to be pushed with all
possible speed, and it is hoped that the new
ferry will be in operation in less that a
years time.

And other peoples, too,
When ran against a Prejudice,
That quite cut OF my view.

Ny path quite clearly showed:
Ny strength and time were limited,

And there that bulking Prejudice
Sat all across the road.
So / spoke TO him politely
For he was huge and high,
And begged that he would move BIT
And let me travel by.
He smiled. but for moving
He didn't even try.
And then reasoned quietly
With that colossal mule:
The time was short. no other path.
The mountain winds were cool

In ecstasy OF woe.
The mountain mists were rising fast.
The sun was sinking low.

Good Year for Locomotive Building.

Indications are that the coming year will
be a busy one for the locomotive works,
and there is likely to be a sharp advance in
stocks and securities of locomotive works.
due to the knowledge that several of the
big railroad companies are insufficiently
equipped with motive power and will be in
the market for a large number of locomo
tives. 1t is stated that a considerable part
of the new issue of bonds of the Santa Fe
will be expended for new locomotives The
Missouri Pacific, the Louisville & Nashville,
the Baltimore & Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the
Erie, the Lake Shore, and, in fact, all the
Vanderbilt lines will be liberal purchasers
Of locomotives. The American locomotive
works now has the most complete plants of
this character and is under one of the best
arrangements of any industry in the coun-
try great deal of money has been put
into the property from earnings, thus in
creasing the capacity of the plant. The
character of the business is such that prac-
tically no bad debts can be made; the COM
pany has no monopoly. 1t is an independent
manufacturer of locomotives. Many rail-
road companies build their own locomotives
so far as they have facilities. but the Amer
lean Locomotive Company depends upon the
excellent character of it's output and it's
complete facilities for turning out locomo-
tives which cannot be excelled.

of the brush is attached to a hollow handle
at the end of which is tube connecting
with the vessel containing the paint to be
used. This vessel Is closed tight and to the
upper part is connected a small pump-a BIZ
cycle pump will fill the bill
The painter gets his brush in position and
pressing the pump handle forces air into
the paint vessel or can. This causes the
paint to flow through the connecting tube
to the hollow handle and by that route to
back of the brush where it is distributed by
numerous small outlets to all portions of the
brush. When more paint is needed another
slight pressure the pump forces addi-
tional coloring fluid to the brush.
