FUNDS FOR THE ALTON.
Loans From the Rock Island and
Union Pacific Roads

CHICAGO. June 2S.-The Rock Island and
the Union Pacific roads have made loan to
the Alton road 81 10000 and have agreed to
make further loan. If necessary not to ex-
coed 100000. The loan was negotiated by the
Alton to pay for extraordinary improve
ments" which it is desired to make this
year. The Alton preferred getting ths load
from the two roads named rather than to go
into the money markets at this time. 1t is
probably the first loan of this kindly one
railroad to another to obviate the-necessity
of asking the public to take any more
railroad securities. The loan is secured by
notes which will mature in fifteen years
Five per cent interest will be paid.
The improvement contemplated by the
Alton includes track elevation in Chicago
yard improvements to cost several hundred
thousand dollars and cutting down grades
and improving curves on several portions
OF the system g.. !
A story that E. H. Hartman had loaned
H.CG0.0o1 to the Alton board to prevent the
company from passing a dividend is en-
phatically declared to be false. John r.
Mitchell president of the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank. and director Of the Alton,
declares that Mr. Hartman has not loaned
single dollar to the Alton road nor does
he contemplate SO doing.

Rockefeller Is Optimistic.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-Wiiliam Rookie
Teller was asked what he thought of the
business prospects. He said:
II think the situation which has prevailed
for several months past is wearing itself
out very rapidly and that the prospects for
the future are good.
II see no signs of general reaction in
business. Some of the merchants and OH
ers may have a little setback in bu: mess.
but 1t should not be important.
Concerning the railroads. their earnings
continue to make astonishing gains. How
ever, 1t would be a great deal better for
them If their business w,re running 10 per
cent to Is per cent lower. In that casa
there would be more profit for the railroads.
There Is more business than can be handled
economically

WHEAT ABOVE 81 IN CHICAGO.
sharp Advance Sudden and Unex-
pected by Traders,

CHICAGO, June 28.--wheat yesterday
afternoon passed the dollar mark. the Sep
TENDER option selling on the floor of the
board Of trade for 81 and the December de-
livery for $1.0Sk
The sharp advance was unexpected to the
majority OF traders, and 1t came with
startling suddenness. The advance was
caused by the report Of a statistician
who last April estimated that the winter
wheat crop would be 1926 bushels
This estimate was based or the expectation
that Kansas would produce 60, 100000 BUSH
els. A supplemental report was issued by
the statistician declaring that the crop will
probably fall 10000, 900 bushels below this
amount because of the damage sustained in
the Sunf1ower state.
This statement caused shorts to cover
actively, and as there was but little wheat
for sale the price advanced rapidly. Much
Of the advance was lost because Of profit
taking sales. the final quotations for Sep
TENDER and December being, respectively.
80 cents and $1.O1N.
NEW YORK, June pa revised estimate
OF the winter wheat crop by a Minneapolis
crop expert sent the price of wheat soaring
upward yesterday afternoon, and within
an hour an advance of Az cents q bushel
was recorded. September options touched
$1.O6 The sharp upward movement was
accompanied by turbulent scenes on the
floor of the exchange as the shorts hurried
to cover their contracts

COL. BRYAN AFTER HUGHES.
Caustic Comment on His Rate Bill
Veto

LINCOLN. Neb.. jung Recommending
on Gov. Hughes veto of the two-cent rate
bill w. ]. Bryan says:
IF Gov. Hughes had been as anxious to
do justice to the people as he Is to guard
the railroads against injustice he would
have signed the bill and given the courts of
New York chance to suspend the law If
it made an unreasonable reduction in the
earnings Of the roads,
He confesses that he has made no inyes-
tigaton, and he does not know whether the
law is just or not, but the protest of the
railroads has more weight with him than
the opinion of the representatives of the
people in the New York legislature
He refers the question to his public utili-
ties board, which he Is to appoint, but II
in the appointment of the members of this
board he is soictous about the railroads
as he Is in his veto message the people
cannot expect a great deal from the board
He seems to be afraid that the railroads
might retaliate by introducing economies
in the service and readjusting rates, etc
He seems to overlook the fact that under
any efficient regulation of railroads the gov
eminent, state and national, is able to COM
pei the railroads to meet the demands of
the public If the people are to rely upon
regulation they will have to have more
courageous representatives in Office than
Gov. Hughes"
