Commission: 1.-The ownership of stock in
a railroad company by shipper does not
entitle him to any better rates or other
advantages than those granted to shippers
generally, who do not own stock. Any con-
cession to a shipper because of his owner
ship of stock would be plain violation of
the law. If you have knowledge of facts
showing discrimination of this Sort it Is
proper subject of investigation by the
commission"

The MonOn as Viewed by an Eastern
Financial Paper-OmciaI Changes
on the Michigan Central.

On Wednesday the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company made it's final payment upon the
loan Of $40OO0.00O. which leaves s5O.O00000 to
expend in improvements. 1t is understood
1t will be the policy of the management to
make the s50OO0.0O0 go as far possible,
and it will probably be a long time before
shareholders are called upon TO take either
stocks or bonds of the company. The great
task OF constructing the New York tunnel
will be proceeded with deliberately. as will
the Brilliant cutoff at Pittsburg, which is
designed to relieve the traffic and prevent
congestion the main line, which, with
other Improvements designed at that point,
will cost $9.5OO.O0O Last year the company
disbursed $12. 262, 49, in dividends, but the
stock has been increased so that hereafter
the disbursements of dividends at per
cent. will call for slS,000,000 annually. 1t
will be recalled that during the last period
of depression. when many railroads went
into receivers hands and others had to cur
tail or pass dividends, the Pennsylvania
maintained its usual rate of dividends. The
road is undoubtedly more forehanded than
any of the other great systems, and by hus-
banding its means its officers intend that it
shall continue in that condition.

turbed over a report that the Indianapolis
roads will close their freight depots at 1870

closing them at that hour on Saturdays was
up for consideration. but was not acted on
favorably The depots will close on Sat

The wisdom of allowing the West Shore
to conduct an independent individual pas
senger and ticket agency at Buffalo instead
of including that road in the joint agency
of the New York Central that went into
effect May j. is being clearly demon
strated every day TO the great satisfaction
With separate offices the tendency was TO
drive all business, or a large portion of it,
TO the New York Central.
The last rail connecting the Lehigh and
New England with the Pennsylvania at
Stockerton was laid on Wednesday. The
fights are all over, and the Lehigh and
New England now have eighty miles of
railroad and a line through the slate belt

Prosperity Helping the MOnOn.
Wall-Street Journal.

Wall-Street Journal.
Monon presents for May a statement
showing an increase of about per cent. in
gross and little more than per cent. in
net. The showing Is considerably behind
the report for the eleven months, which
shows an increase of over 10 per cent. in
gross and nearly IL per cent. in net.
The Monon earnings reflect in large part
the local traffic conditions that affect the
territory south of Chicago as far as the
Ohio river 1t will be remembered that
during the month of May conditions in the
chicago territory were not at all favorable
TO the creation of traffic, either into or out
of that city. general tie-up of business
and industry was threatened by the rail-
road employees of Chicago. Monon feels
such disturbance of conditions far more
than does railroad upon which Chicago is
merely one of the important freight centers.
Monon depends very largely upon Chicago.
we understand that conditions in the ter
ritory itself were and are all that can be
desired. The business of this road is a.
very diversified traffic, and is not materially
affected by the failure of any one staple
line OF freight.
The same cause that led TO falling off
of local traffic to Chicago was felt also in
the volume OF freight and passenger bust
ness turned over to Monon at the river by
the two great trunk lines of the South. On
the whole, the eleven months statement is
said to reflect much better the business of
the road than does the statement for May.
The South during the past year has been
more productive Of business than ever be-
fore in the history of railroading in the
South The growth of this business pros
perity is due TO the new enterprise that has
developed in all the States south of the
Ohio. 1t is a gradual and conservative adj
vance, prompted by the realization of the
latent resources of the territory. Monon
people say that there is no boom either in
the South or in their own territory but
that there is solid prosperity in all States
adjacent to their lines.
