JACKSON AND METROPOLITAN.
Order to Disclose Arrangement for
Federal Receivershfp.

NEW YORK, December 25.-On the APP
pllcatton of Attorney General Jackson
through his special counsel. Herbert r.
Lmburg. Justice Greenbaum. in the su-
preme court. signed yesterday an order
directing Herbert H. Vreeland and the
other directors Of the New York City
Railway Company to appear before John
Frankenheimer, as referee, at Franken-
he1mer's Office, % Broad street, December
81. for examination concerning the events
which led up to the application to the
United States circuit court for the ap-
pointment of receivers for the company.
The directors. under the order of Justice
Greenbaum, must produce the books and
records of the company, especially the
book containing the minutes of any meet
Ing Of the directors since September 1 re-
ferring to any plans for the appointment
of receivers.
The application is the first move made
by Jackson since Justice Seabury acceded
to his request for the appointment of
state receivers for the railway company.
In the papers filed with Justice Green
baum Jackson repeats his former asser-
ton that there was collision between the
directors and counsel for the company to
have receivers appointed by the federal
court before Jackson could get a hearing
in the state courts.
1t was said yesterday that an appeal
would be taken from Justice Greenbaum's
order and stay obtained meanwhile.

Man Proves That Pennsylvania

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. j., December
&-The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
can be compelled to move the elevation
wall supporting its four-track main line
In this city, according to verdict given
by jury in the circuit court before
Judge Lloyd here yesterday.
Robert Hartmann, foreman in a local
factory, sued the company, alleging that
when the tracks we're elevated in 1902 the
railroad company placed eighteen inches
OF its stone retaining wall on property it
did not own and which is part Of lot
since purchased by Hartmann. The suit
was for ejectment, no damages being
asked.
The case hinged upon rival survey maps
The railroads engineer Asher Atkinson,
produced map by which it was shown
that the railroad, under a condemnation
proceeding of 1888, was entitled to all the
land 1T used for the elevation wall. The
plaintiffs engineer, Josiah Tice, produced
another map. according to which the line
under the condemnation deed was a foot
and half short Of the present line Of the
wall. 1t was shown that fence had
been torn down on the Hartmann prop
erty while the elevation work was In
progress, and had been put up again at
the expense Of the company. Hartmann
maintained that the line Of the fence was
moved.
The railroad will appeal the case unles
Is sustained Mr.. Hartmann can force the
railroad to either move It's wall or pay for
the land the jury says the company I'm.
lawfully seized.

garding the purposes of the meeting, and
that II an agreement should be reached In

ing sent to the policyholders.

FISH FINDS ALLEGED JOKER.
Thinks Cromwell's Pledge Was
Changed for Court Record,

CHICAGO. December 25.-An alleged
Joker discovered in the stenographic
records Of the trial Of the Illinois Central
injunction suit caused furry in the
Stuyvesant Fish camp yesterday. 1t
consisted of four significant words quail
flying a promise to the court by Attorney
William Nelson Cromwell. E. H. Harri-
mans personal counsel.
Mr. Fish and his attorneys did not
know Mr.. Cromwell had made the reser-
Walton until they saw it in the typewrit-
ten report and were then loath to be-
lieve it. They declared Mr.. CROMWELL
promise was as follows:
II say, your honor-well, I give you my
personal word-that no transfer of stock
will be made until your honor's decision
has been given in this case" and to this
there is added the qualifying phrase,
without your honor's permission
1t Is the contention of the Fish LAWYERS
that the words were spoken In a lower
tone than the rest of the sentence.
Agents of the former president sought
afidavits from persons who attended the
court session at which the pledge was
given to the effect that the words were
not audible to them.

IRON TRADE OUTLOOK.
Cleveland Reports That Improve
ment Is Expected in 1908,

meuC Is expected In 19O6.
CLEVELAND, December 25-The Iron
Trade Review Thursday will say:
The iron and steel trade at the close Of
one of the most remarkable years in its
history, in which prosperity was suddenly
paralyzed, looks forward to a mild and
conservative improvement after the first
Of the year. The producers are in better
condition to maintain prices at this time
than they were In 10000 and some prog
ress has already been made toward a re-
adjustment to permit of business being
placed early an the new year.
Some of the more highly fluctuating
commodities have reached prices which
experience indicates are likely to prove
close to bottom. Southern pig iron has
been sold at sl3 at Birmingham, but fur
naces will not sell for any extended de-
livery at this price. although rumors of
lower prices have been followed by dis
play Of eagerness to buy. Inquiries for
pig iron have increased and about 1900
tons have been sold at Cincinnati. The
first reduction in finished or semi-finished
steel has just been announced, the Car
negie Steel Company having fixed the
price on sheet bars at so, just 81 lower
than the price for the fourth quarter of
1907. 1t is expected that there will be
other reductions, but not of a radical ma
ture.

OLD DOMINION ASKS MORE.
Demands $1,000, 900 More From
Bieelow and Lewisohn.

BOSTON. December 25.-The Old Do
minion Copper Mining and Smelling Com
pany has appealed from the decree Of
Judge Sheldon OF the Massachusetts, su-
preme court, holding that it is entitled to
recover 81, o29.6o0 alleged to have been
diverted in the form Of secret profits by
Albert s. Bigelow OF Boston and the late
Leonard Lewisohn of New York.
Bigelow and Lewisohn were the promot-
ers Of the company and its president and
treasurer. respectively, up to 1902, and the
alleged secret profits were found by Judge
Sheldon to have been derived by them
from the sale Of the Old Dominion Com
pany OF Baltimore and other mining prop
critics.
The company, in it's appeal to the full
bench. claims 81 0O0, 600 In addition to the
amount granted by Judge Sheldon, with
interest from September, 1895. Judge
Sheldon held Bigelow liable for the diff
ference between the market value OF the
property he and Lewisohn turned over
to the company and the market value OF
10000 shares OF stock which they received
In return for that property.
The company claims the difference be-
tween what Bigelow and Lewisohn ac-
tually paid for the property they turned
over and the market value OF the stock
they received from the plaintiff company
in return therefor.

GAME BIRDS SLAUGHTERED.

NEW YORK, December 2s.-Oficials Of

WHAT THE BROKERS THINK.

A. o. Brown & Co.-The banks have
gained in their subtreasury operations,
and In the absence Of unfavorahle news
meantime there should be more activity
and an Improvement in sentiment on
Thursday.
Dick Bros. & Cove believe that next
year. after highly-important political
changes have been made, we shall have
real Christmas, nor do we expect to
have to wait year for better things.
3. F. Hutton & Cove cannot see any
incentive to buy securities for anything
more than small speculative rally with
the outlook for earnings in the next six
months. Too much optimism is evident
on the results of cheap money later as at
fecting industry favorably.
Miller & Co.-Good railroad stocks are
intrinsically cheap, and that, in our opin-
ion, tells the story.
today's stock market might be regarded
as OF no significance so far as the trend
of future events Is concerned. It must be
remembered, however. that monetary con-
ditions are still initiating against any
pronounced Improvement In prices, and
conservative interests are inclined to
await the outcome of the year-end adjust
ments before taking decided stand On
the stock market.
Marshall, Spader & Co.-some changes
In the commercial world OF Importance
are expected, and 1t Is not Impossible to
conclude that financial stringency will be
the final cause Of further liquidation Of
institutions.
Bartlett, Frazier & Carrington-The
failure of an interior bank Is nothing to
be excited about. for the locality has
marked it failed for these many months.
Cotton and wheat are both moving and
the faster the better. There has been a
cut in railroad wages, but 1t has not
been in the operating departments. There
Is nothing to say on the stock market as
to particular issues, for there practically
has been no market today In either bonds
or stocks.
J. 8. Bache g. Co.-Speculative opinion
seemed to favor higher prices after the
ments will have been completed. Tho
banks would be In a stronger position
then with money rates easier. The close
was without feature.
