The Pennsylvania, with the completion of
the New York terminal, expects 10 obtain
an immense amount of suburban traffic.
Thousands Of people who use the ferries
now to Jersey City and other nearby points
will find the Pennsylvania service through
the tunnel much more convenient and
quicker, and the earnings from this source
are expected to reach a large amount.
Many OF the railroads are giving atten-
ton TO the new order of the Southern Rail-
way, which purposes to furnish TO engineers
and conductors annual passes over the road
on the basis of service, on the grounds that
better results will be obtained through the
hearty cooperation of the men, but there
are many railroad executives who hold this
action TO be il-advised and claim to see In
it another concession to the men which will
encourage them to demand still more.
The New York Central is beginning to
clear up its congestion at East Buffalo. 1t
Is claimed that the blockade between Buff
falo and New York reached 10000 loaded
cars. The cause assigned for the conges-
ton was SnOWStormS, extreme cold, lack or
motive power and heavy traffic. For some
weeks past the cold has made it impos-
sible to load locomotives heavily, and nearly
three times as many locomotives are re-
quired to take care of the traffic as in
moderate weather, and it is said it will be
several weeks before the congestion is en-
tirely removed.
Chief Engineer Kent, of the Monon, was
i'm the city yesterday. He states that the
company will this year buy 5000 tons of
new steel for one of the branches. The
main line is being laid with steel rails,
weighing seventy-five pounds to the yard,
well ballasted and well crosstied. The
principal work to be done for his depart
ment this season is in the new yards at
Hammond. Nine miles OF track have al
ready been laid and thirty more are TO be
laid before the work is completed, and a
roundhOuse with a capacity to house fif-
teen locomotives will be erected.

The Baldwin locomotive works has begun
work on the recent order from the Santa
Fe for fifty locomotives. Ten of the num-
Der will be monsters, even larger than those
delivered to the Santa Fe a few months ago,
and it is expected that these locomotives
will prove the beginning of an epoch in rail-
road freighting which may result in the
abolition OF thousands of smaller and
weaker engines. 1t is claimed that these
locomotives will be able to pull $4,000 tons
of dead freight on a level. The weight of
pounds, the tender weighing 100000 pounds,
making q total of 10000. Their speed will
be much greater than freight locomotives
now used in pulling the ore trains of the
Santa Fe, and their cost will be a third
more than the best freight engine yet built.
From the time the first cast was made until
the first shipment shall start for the South
west, fifty days will have elapsed. The
Baldwin works now has a force of about
1,60O men at work on these engines. AL
though the same width as the smaller en-
gines and adapted to the same tracks, the
type is much longer and higher. The most
distinguishing feature besides the size are
the tandem cylinders and the immense driv-
ing wheels. There are five pairs of drivers
and at the extreme front of the engine is
q pair OF pony wheels. The other forty 10
cOmotives will be of the balanced compound
type, similar in many respects to the
French engine. The drivers of these en-
gines will be seventy-nine inches in diam
eter, the cylinders fifteen and twenty-five
inches, with twenty-SiX-inch piston stroke.
They are designed 10 attain a speed of
eighty miles an hour and to be used exclu-
sively for passenger trains. The passen-
ger engines, including the tender, will weigh
10000 pounds. All are TO be delivered in
April.

AMERICAN STOCKS ABROAD.

Reports that more American shares would be
listed on European bourses have led bankers
to discuss this week the question as to how
far it would be possible TO stimulate trading

the market facilities. While this action always
has sentimental effect, IL was pointed out that
il would not be sufficient to create a demand
for our stocks abroad. The opinion prevailed
that. aside from occasional speculative buying.
the mere fact that a security had been listed
on a foreign Dourse would not attract for il in
vestment support. Aside from inducing spcu-
Iative purchases such action would have little
influence.
Foreign bankers will be very glad. however.
to have more American stocks listed abroad.
