Wheat closed at an advance owing mainly
TO rust reports from the Northwest and pre-
dictions Of showers In that section Saturday,
which caused not q little nervousness among
the bears. Early in the day prices declined
fractionally owing to good weather over both

selling for the decline by pit traders. Com
mission houses sold for long account on the

HURTS NEW HAVEN ROAD
HARMS NO OTHER LINE
What Other Railroad Men Say About Breaking of
 Per Diem Agreement.

New York, Aug, Tn the opinion of prominent officials active in the af-
 fairs of the American Railway asso- citation, the New England railroad will lose more than 1t can gain by with drawing from the association and its per diem agreement, while no serious results to other roads will be caused. |The basis of its action is that the Con- |necticut railroad law allows shippers 96 hours of free time in which to get cars
 loaded or unloaded. The new rule of the per diem agreement which became
 effective July 1, makes the charge for
 the detention of foreign cars 50 cents a day instead of the former charge of |25 cents. The New Haven argued
 that this rule, in conjunction with the
 Connecticut statutes, imposed upon it too severe a burden; that on account of the many comparatively large cities
 in it's territory, 1t partook largely of
 the nature of terminal road.
 'If the New Haven should persist in refusing to come in, under an agree mer4 specifying a per diem which all
 the other parties to the agreement con-
 slider to be fair charge for the use of foreign cars, the western roads can load for points in New Haven territory. On account of the great number of
 constantly using, that road would be
 at a disadvantage in such a contest. Hence the motive for the New Haven's s notice of withdrawal is obviously the belief of it's management that such withdrawal will furnish lever with which to work for easier terms to that road.'
 It is believed that the Car association will not force the issue, but will try to
 make some compromise. It has been suggested that the New England rail- roads are not wholly defenceless in the matter because the freight must go into New England; that the outside roads would never find it profitable to
 keep their freight cars out of New
 England merely because the New Eng Hand roads refuse to pay per diem charges at the rate of 50 cents, Yet the fact remains that 1t has been
 done once under different circum-
 stances in an equally important con-
 troversy and the New Haven found it
 could not carry into effect certain traf- flc plans that had been formulated.

GIRL SHADOWS WOMAN.
Mrs, Hopp, Wanted for Theft,
 Watched While in Saloon.

Mrs. Kittie Hopp, who has been rooming at the home of Mrs. Mills, 31 Warren street, was arrested yester- day by Sergeant Dennehy and De- tectie McAvoy on a charge of theft. She is accused of stealing @ pocket book containing two rings and $1O in money, also lot of clothing and fancy articles, all belonging to her landlady.
 It is claimed that the pocketbool5 was stolen on July Is, and Sergeant Dennery recovered ring from a pawnshop which he claims is one of those stolen.
 The sergeant says that Wednesday Mrs. Mills went to the dresser in Mrs, Hopp's room and found one of the drawers filled with lot of Mrs. Mills clothing, towels, doilies, etc. She notified the detectives yesterday morning, and when they arrived she said that Mrs. Hopp had evidently seen them coming and had climbed out of a lower window. She said that Mrs, Mills had sent her little girl to follow the woman.
 The detectives waited over an hour for the return of the girl, and then, after getting the child's description, they went looking for her. They found her shadowing the saloon near the corner of Fair and State streets and she told the detectives that Mrs Hopp was inside. The detectives then went into the saloon and ar- rested the woman. Mrs. Hopp de. clares that she Is entirely innocent and that she never stole anything ir her life. She protested strenuously against her arrest.

STEVENS HERE TO WORK.
Ex-Panama Engineer Operates New
 Haven ROad as Vice President.

uuNcu HOhu HIS bicS EIeStueHte
 John F. Stevens, ex-Panama Canal engineer, yesterday assumed the office of vice president of the New Haven road and took charge of the operation of the entire system. His office in the local building on Meadow street was opened yesterday morning and Mr. Stevens, in President Mellen's absence. is the authority and actual head of the road.
 MT. Stevens was appointed last month by President Mellen. Vice Pres ident Stevens has completed the work of appraising the properties of the New Haven road, and it is expected that this information, which he has gather ed and compiled, will be given to the public in the near future by President Mellen.
 It is, in brief, work of revaluatlon of the system, and from so eminent an authority as Mr Stevens will be re- ceived with much interest by the inan- cial and railroad world. No one seems to have much idea as 10 what Mr. Stevens will place the value of tho properties of the New Haven road.

BETTER GAR SERVICE.
New Schedule to Lighthouse
 Considered Necessary.

Travel has been so heavy to Light house Point since the five-cent fare was established that the Connecticut company is now planning to give pa- irons of the road better service, es- pecially on Sundays and holidays.
 It is proposed to run three cars every twelve minutes, which will be possible when the new feeder wire Is strung up. The double-tracking was finished last week, and cars are now running over the new rails. The power is lacking for quicker service on account of the feeder wire not be- ing ready for use.
 Efforts will be made to institute the new service one week from next Sum day. This service will only be order ed during the busy hours of the morning and afternoon,
