LIGHT FREIGHT TRAFFIC

port-Nr. Lynch Takes Optimistic
View of Passenger Affairs.

The train records Of the Indianapolis
lines for the week ending May IA show
but little Improvement in business over the
preceding weeks of the last sixty days.
CONTRARY to expectations, there has not
been. the anticipated revival in business.
In some lines there was a better call for
cars last week than in any previous week
since Jan. /, but the lines of traffic were
rather limited. The carriage manufac-
turers, the furniture manufacturers, the
cerealine mills and flour mills made fairly
heavy shipments. and there was some i'm
provement in shipments of live stock. The
manufacturers in most lines are doing
about their normal business. but there is
no accumulation of delayed freights. as
the case at the corresponding period
last year. The roads are handling less
material for the interurban lines than last
year Last year hundreds of carloads of
material for interurban lines was being
shipped into Indiana weekly, while this
year they will not amount to ten carloads
weekly, and under present conditions this
is quite an item. Iron industries are hav-
ing rather quiet time. and their traffic of
late years was an important feature. Lo-
cally, the merchants are doing good bust
ness, especially grocers, who are shipping
more goods than usual at this season. of
the year. The sugars are beginning to
move as the fruit season comes on, and
from now on there will be increased ship
ments. The fruit and vegetable Gamers
are beginning to ship some of their goods,
and from now on their business will in
crease. Despite the light traffic rumors
are heard of rate cutting. For the first
time in many years freight officials are

freight agents to in no case shade rates.
and for this reason every merchant and
every manufacturer feels that they are
| treated on the same basis as regards rates,
which makes il much pleasanter for the
general freight agents than to be having
abuse heaped upon them on account of
some line cutting rates until there is no
money in the business. The following table

Pleased with the Outlook.

of the Big Four, says: From what l have
CLEANED in my travels through the country
and from conferences with other officials,
1 believe firmly that the worlds fair bust
ness will be stupendous; it will astonish the
world For several years the railroads have
been educating the public into travelling. II
has not been so long ago that a man would
almost make his will before he took trip.
OF recent years there has come a change
and now it is the most ordinary thing for
one to take a trip every few weeks The
cheap excursions. and particularly, in some
portions of the country, the Sunday excur-
siOns, have been the means of bringing
about this change. L think the traffic to the
fair will not be heavy for a month from
now but from that on until the close of the
exposition there will be an immense bust
ness"

LONDON STOCK MARKET.

LONDON, May 15.-The feature of the
week on the Stock Exchange has been the
strength of all the high class securities.
and events generally have been favorable
TO the markets. 1t is believed that Japan
could easily place another loan here, and
the success of the present issue has con-
tributed to the confident feeling, which has
been greatly assisted by the signing of the
convention with the Chinese government
for supply of labor to South Africa
Most of the markets participated in the
rise in prices, but the American section
proved an exception. The unfavorable in
huence affecting Wall street, the gold ex-
ports and the unsatisfactory crop. reports
had weakening influence here. Mexican
Railroad issues attracted great attention,
and there was a substantial rise on the an
nouncement of the dividend.
