RAILROAD CHANGES

When the Wisconsin Central line is
taken over by the Canadian Pacific.
which will be formally announced in
three or four weeks, the mileage of
the Wisconsin Central line between
St. Paul and Chicago will be Short
ened forty miles. This will be done
by cutoffs from Owen to Spenser,
Wis.,, fifteen miles in length, and an
other from Mukwanago on the main
line to Grand Rapids on the Nekosa
branch. which will then become a
part of the new main line. This lat
ter cutoff will be lbs miles in length.
When this work is completed the
Wisconsin Central will have a Chi
cago-St. Paul line almost as short as
that of the St. Paul road and shorter
than that of the Burlington. ssF y
Complete consolidation of the two
Hill lines, the Great Northern and
the Burlington, is persistent rumor
coming from st. Paul.
The two roads are at present under
one management, but have been
working with separate general Office
forces and officials. The plan as out
lined. indicates the concentration Of
the two Offices under one force in the
twin cities.
Hill interests have rented three
floors in the building adjoining the
Burlington offices in Chicago. These
will be used for Great Northern off,
cials. Many vacancies at present ex-
listing at the Burlington Office force
are being taken care of by Great
Northern employees.
With the new passenger service it
is said Mr.. Hill has concluded to
abandon Pullman sleeping cars on
the Burlington and substitute his
own Great Northern equipment.
The Great Northern has always oper-
ated its own sleeping cars.
The opinion now prevails that Mr..
Hill is planning to cut loose entirely
from all other roads in this and con-
centrate his efforts on those lines he
actually owns or controls. He figures
that with through lines between
Chicago and the Pacific coast, one to
Colorado and the addition Of the Col
orado and Southern, he will be in a
position where he will gain more by
working entirely by himself. than
through the dependencies of inter-
changing traffic with other roads.

A COLD JANUARY

The state hospital weather report
for January is an interesting mum.
Der. The record shows that there
were 18 clear days, 13 cloudy and
partly cloudy days and 3. IS inches of
snow. In the matter of temperature
the month started in with Is degrees
below zero on the first Of the year as
q minimum mark. On the 3rd it
rose to 10 above as a minimum and
from that date to the 18th the mer-
cur was>below zero every day being 80
below on the 5th the coldest day In
the month. On the 18th it was 6
above zero and continued for II days
above zero until the 29th. The last
three days Of the month closed with
the minimum record Of IL, q .and 10
below zero. Probabilities are that
this period of cold weather will make
the end of the extreme cold Of the
present winter, as February begins
milder and more agreeable with the
mercury well up on the scale.

MUST PAY FOR PATIENTS

Fargo Call: The law compelling
counties to pay $50 every six months
for the care of patients committed
from such counties to the feeble
minded institution, was yesterday
held to be constitutional by the su-
preme court, in decision handed
down in the suit against Cass county.
The refusal of this county TO pay the
amount provided by statute resulted
in a suit being started in which
County Auditor Arthur. G. Lewis
was made defendant. The case was
carried to the supreme court, Asst.
States Atty. Richardson holding that
the payment Of this amount consti-
tuted double taxation. in that a gen.
eral tax is levied for the mainte-
nance of these institutions. At the
present time there are but two pa
tients in the feeble minded institu-
tion from Cass county and the case
was fought on the principle only.
Every county in the state was inter-
ested in the action and watched the
proceedings closely.
Now the question arises, does the
same ruling hold good in the case of
the state insane asylum? The law
relating to this institution is quite
similar. Cass county has refused to
pay for the care Of patients from this
county and there is now bill against
the county for about $40, If the
county is forced to pay this, it is
quite likely an effort will be made to
collect the individual bills from var
ious relatives Of the patients.

NEW YORK. January 19.-On a consid-
erably reduced volume Of business the
stock market today f1ucuated irregularly,
and for that matter, except in the cases
of a few of the speciaities, scarcely at
all. The latter class of stocks was gen
orally strong and extensive advances
were scored at one time or another dur
ing the business session in Chesapeake
and Ohio, Norfolk and Western, Wiscon-
sin General, preferred, and Illinois Cen
trail.
Nothing beyond a repetition of the ru-
mors. thus far unsubstantiated, regarding
Norfolk and Western accompanied the
exceptional strength in that stock. Such
shares as Union and Southern PACING,
Reading and St Paul moved within the
most narrow limits.
The local traction shares were generally
steady, but even in that quarter price
movements were also characterized by
considerable irregularity.
In the industrial and miscellaneous
group Amalgamated Copper upon occa-
sion reflected severe pressure. further
reduction was made today in the quota
tons for copper metal and according to
authoritative statements trade conditions
are more depressed than has been the
NeSe for several months. American COT
ton oil and the stocks of the same classl-
fication were strong again. The United
States Steel shares were fairly active,
but also fluctuated within small frac-
tional limits.
No Defined Influences.
There was no news either of general
or particular importance to which the
movements In the market at large or
thnSa in Dartic,Ilar stocks could be re-
ferred.
London houses were buyers mere
upon a small scale. although the Lon
don market was generally heavy. and
its tone was said to be in a measure
influenced by the pronounced weakness
in copper metal. Approximations of a
further advance in the discount rate of
the Bank of England likewise cut some
figure in the tendencies of the London
stock market

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

today's proceedings at the meeting OF the
stock exchange did not indicate great
interest in the market and in consequence
the amount of trading was small There
was but slight change made in the quota
tons, which is not an unusual circum-
stance in this market which has the
faculty Of standing still developed to a
high point.
1t was noticed. however. that the
per cent bonds of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company sold shade of
from the selling price of yesterday, which
was also a small decline from recent
figures.
No change was made in the figures for
the common stock. while there was a
slight recession in the bid price for the
preferred stock.
The quotations in the case of the securi-
ties of the Capital Traction Company re-
NAMED about on the same level as that
Of the closing prices Of yesterday.
Nothing in the figures in the bank stock
and trust company list Indicated any fur
Their developments.
Quite an advance was made in the bid
for the stock of the Second National
Bank. bringing it up to 1921. with the
asking price at 10. but such an advance
is looked upon al only following the usual
course adopted in the quotations for
securities of this class, that is. having
the market figures OH per cent return
basis.
Nothing happened in the case of gas
stock. which pursued the usual course,
taking in all offerings of that stock with
in reasonable distance of the current
market figures The latter have been
steadily on the ascending scale, and now
they have reached the 70 level. at which
quite good deal of stock was taken
yesterday. and today a couple of hundred
shares went at the same figure.
At the close he bid was 20 and the
asking price 70ls. The attitude In re-
gard to this stock generally speaking
seems to be one of waiting. although
there seems to be an unlimited market for
all offerings at a constantly rising scale
of prices.
