new FAST FREIGHT LINES
TIE LACKAWANNA COMPANY FORMS
NEW TRAFFIC ALLIANCES.
Indianapolis Lines Make Poor Earn
ing ENhibits-Reason for Michigan
Ccntrars Fast Run.

Effective on June a new fast freight
line organization will be established be-
tween the Lackawanna and its Eastern
connections and the Lake Shore and the
Michigan Central. The organizations will
be known as the Lake Shore -Lackawanna
Fast Freight Line and the Michigan Cen
tral-Lackawanna Fast Freight Line While
there has been a considerable exchange
of traffic and cordial cooperation between
the Lackawanna and the Lake Shore and
Michigan Central, up TO the present time
there has been no Laclxawanna fast freight
line operated over these roads. The result
has been to place the through line thus
formed by the Lackawanna at a material
disadvantage with its trunk line competi-
tors who have such organizations in opera
ton, and it was for the purpose of over
coming these disadvantages and for
Strengthening the relations of these COM
panies that the new line is to be formed.
1t is expected that the result will be par
ticularly beneficial in view of the estab-
liShment by the Lackawanna of its own
commercial agencies at several points in
viduality in the Central West and North
is TO defer, for the present, at least put
ting in the expensive machinery usually
attached TO fast freight line organizations,
the expectation being that under plans pro-
posed the business can be handled just as
satisfactorily and more economically.

The marketing of hogs is of larger vol
ume, the total thus far this week indicating

yesterday were 5000 larger than week ago
and about the same a year ago.
Combined receipts of cattle for three days
show a gain of about 200 over the same
time last week and a corresponding inn
provement over the same period a year
ago. The receipts yesterday were about the
same as a week ago, and show very little
Thus far this week the marketing of sheep
and lambs shows an increase of about 100
over the same time last week, but de-
crease of nearly 200 compared with the cor

yesterday were quite small, but equal to a
week ago and 200 less than year ago.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPO-
LIS. May u-Hogs-There was another
good run of hogs to-day and the receipts
now are making an average of about 6,oys
which Is fairly liberal for this time in the
year. Thre were a few who believed that
there were not as many good hogs to-day as
yesterday, rather than the proportion
was little smaller, but generally the quail
ity and conoition of the offerings was re-
ported satisfactory and considerably better
than the average represented short time
ago. The market opened with only a fair
request from outside sources, and with the
supply evidently large enough to meet the
requirements. and lower prices reported
elsewhere. the bidding here was lower. 1t
cannot be said. however, that prices offered
were unreasonable, and with local packers
showing disposition TO be good buyers
decline Of fully &c in prices was readily ac-
cepted and the early market was active on
that basis. Subsequently, however, with no
increase in the demand from shippers, pack
ers discovered that there would be more
hogs than they really required, and they be-
gan asking further concessions in prices.
This statesmen were reluctant in granting,
but finally they were forced TO accept a fur
ther cut of nearly sc. Therefore. closing
sales were right around 10c lower than the
same class Of hogs sold on the high market
yesterday. AT the decline all local packers
were in the field, and. being free and liberal
buyers, a satisfactory clearance was made.

market to-day were not seen alike by all

quirements: The market opened with buy

was evident that they expes / some con-
cesSlonS In all departments. Statesmen were
rather inclined TO be reasonable, but the de-
mandS or the buyers were such that their
terms could not be accepted readily, and,
therefore, ii required considerable time to
consummate sales. There was an inclina-
tion to pay reasonably satisfactory prices
for few selected cattle in their class, but
aside from this sales from the start in all
departments We're usually right around 10c
lower than yesterday. 1t was evident that
the cow stuff was suffering more than any
other class of cattle, but there was also al
most an equal change in prices Of the steers
that were not fancy In quality and condi-
tiOn- As there has been almost a gradual
decline in the market thus far this week,
dealers are rather inclined TO make their
comparisons with the close of last week. 1t
was the general opinion to-day that prac-
tically all the fat steers and cows offered
We're selling 25c lower than last Thursday,
which the high time in the week, and
l5c TO a0c lower than the close of last week.
Cattle of only fair quality, or a little below
the requirements in fat. are showing more
change than the prime stock, but the mar
ket Is not nearly as good for any class as il
was last Thursday. Another thing TO be
taken into consideration is the fact that
buyers are more particular in making their
selections. and, therefore they are probably
getting a higher grade of cattle at the
prices than they did a week ago. The bull
ma-ket started about steady to-day, but
subsequently, was lower, with some sales
showing sc change from yesterday. There
was another liberal supply of calves, and
the market generally was quoted around 75c
lower, making decline of fully 81 in prices
since Monday. The demand for feeding
cattle to-day was not as good as yesterday;

outlet and prices generally were less salts

The Eastern press is very complimentary
regarding the appointment of Colonel Sam
uel Moody to be general passenger agent
of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burg, vice e. A. Ford, promoted to passen-
ger traffic manager. Colonel Moody is un-
questionably one of the most energetic
and popular passenger men in the country,
has had many years of experience in rail-
road business and has steadily advanced by
reason OF the brains and energy displayed
in his work. In his position he will
have larger scope for the display of his
talent. and both the railroad and the pub
lie VIII be benefited by this deserved pro-
motion. 1t Is really an application of the
merit system in the railroad service. Pop
ularity naturally goes hand in hand with
ability, and business qualifications, be they
what they may, would be of little service to
a company unless the official was also a
master OF the fine art of making friends for
himself and for the company and of hold
ing them when secured. No passenger Of
