RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Gross earnings Of United States rail-
roads making weekly returns to "Dun's
Review" continue to show considerable
contraction. the total Of oil roads re-
porting to date for two weeks in March
amounting to SI3,2SO,ss4. a decrease
of 1913 per cent, as compared with the
corresponding period year ago.
Sharp decreases in the South near
~ all the leading roads in that section
Of the country still reporting much
smaller earnings than last year-large-
~ account for the unsatisfactory com
parison Of the statement as whole.
In the West and Southwest, while
fewer roads than of late report gains,
indications pointing TO improvement
are not entirely absent, and only a
few important lines show very pro-
nounced falling off.
Following are given gross earnings
Of United States railroads reporting
for the first two weeks in March, and
loss as compared with the earnings Of
the same roads for the corresponding
period a year ago; also for roads that
reported for the same weeks In the
two preceding months, together with
the percentages Of loss compared with
last year:

GOVERNMENT RONnS-
ROCK ISL. ASKS PROXIES
Go. Follows Usual Course
Despite Previous Calls.

Proxies issued by the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railway Company in
the names of President Nudge, Vice
Presidents German and Quinlan and
Secretary Crosby for the annual meet
ing on April 10, caused surprise in Wall
Street yesterday. when they made their
appearance. in view of the previous
call for proxies by the Sheldon COM
mittee.
Officers Of the company, however,
said that no significance was to be at
tached to the action of the manage
ment. as a similar policy has been fol-
lowed heretofore, and it was not
deemed advisable to omit the usual
call this year. The management, II
was said. has no desire to take sides
between the Sheldon and Amster com
mittees. For this reason the company
sent out proxies in the names Of its
own men.

GEORGE J. WHELAN
QUITS BUSINESS
Announces Retirement Oh 50th
Birthday-Began Busi-
ness in Syracuse.

George J. Whelan, founder OF the
chain of retail tobacco stores known
as the United Cigar Stores Company OF
America, yesterday celebrated his fifth
eth birthday by retiring from active
business. Mr. Whelan was also the
organizer Of the Tobacco Products
Corporation, the United Profit Sharing
Corporation, and represents the con-
trolling interest in the RIker & Hege-
man Drug Company.
While he is seyering his connection
with these companies, it is understood
that this does not indicate any inten-
ton Of Mr. Whelan TO dispose OF his
holdings in his various enterprises.
He frankly states that he has money
enough to quit active business, having
accumulated a fortune. which is ranked
among the largest of the country's re-
tailers.
Mr.. Whelan started in the retail to-
bacco business al Syracuse, y. Y, when
a boy, and soon built up a good trade.
With him soon became associated sew
eral Of his brothers, one of whom, {.
A Whelan, is now president Of the
United Cigar Stores Company. After
opening several stores upstate he con
ceived the idea Of countrywide
chain Of cigar stores.
He went TO James b. Duke and dem
onstrated the practicability of his
proposition. Those who have followed
Mr. Whelan's career express the belief
that his fortune was made when he
convinced Mr. Duke, then president Of
the American Tobacco Company, that
string Of retail stores as a subsd-
iary of that corporation would be
big business getter for the manu-
featuring company. M Whelan is
yachting enthusiast. Up until the out
break of the European war he spent
much Of his time each year on his
Yacht Cassandra. He IL also fond Of
golhng and skating.
A. II. Cosden, a business associate
of Mr.. Whelan, resigned as president
Of the Riker Hegemau Drug Com
pany only last week. Mr.. Cosden also
announced his intention Of retiring
from business.

WHEAT LOWER
IN CHICAGO
Corn, Oats and Provisions Also
Decline, with Markets
Heavy,

Chicago, March 7.-Notwithsta-t
ing indications that considerable ex-
port business was being done under
cover, bears ruled wheat to-day most
of the time. Intervention by Italy and
other heretofore neutral powers seemed
to have approached a little closer, and
the market finished nervous az y 20
lhc net decline. Other staples al
showed losses corn 3s to 12c, oats a
shade 70 / sc, and provisions 20 l5c.
II was authoritatlvely announced
that substantial sales Of wheat for ex-
port, either cash or futures, and si-
most entirely spring wheat, had been
going on for a number OF days and was
again in progress. This information
had much TO do with strong rally
after ar early setback, that was chiefly
due 70 lower prices at Liverpool. Tho
advance, however. brought out 'n-
creased selling, which seemed TO hinge
for the most part on the character o.
cable advices relative 20 impending
probable action by the Balkan States
and Italy. Range OF prices:

Copper shares continued IN high

Ngely employed in the manufacture OF

COTTON ACTIVE
AND HIGHER
More than Receivers Fridays
Decline, with Buying Steady
Right Up TO the Close.

The cotton market showed renewed
strength yesterday, selling back to
within 4 or points Of the high rec
ords established on Friday morning
and recovering ell OF Fridays loss,
with the close steady at q net advance
Of l6 to 10 roints.
The action Of the market suggested
that a considerable part OF Fridays
selling had been inspired by an i'm
preston that reports reaching the De-
partment of Agriculture indicated that
Southern planters were not curtailing
their cotton acreage. Yesterday morn
ing, however, Washington dispatches
were published quoting the Secretary
Of Agriculture definitely to the effect
that he had made no such statement,
and that beyond reports Of increased
grain acreage in the Southern States
his department had no official advlces
concerning acreage. This denial OF
the rumors circulating on Friday may
have contributed TO the relatively firm
ruling of Liverpool, and the local mar
ket opened steady at an advance OF y
10 ~ points. AlteE sei4lhR hbOu' 10 W
10 points net higher prices reacted
under heavy realizing. but the market
frmed up again later on a continued
active demand, suggesting a broaden
ing Of commission house business.
This advance carried October up to
lO.26c. or within 8 points OF Fridays
best level. and the general list sold II
to % points net higher. The close was
only a shade of from the best under
realizing.
Southern spot markets were un-
changed to 1sc higher. and the local
spot market was steady at 10 points ad-
vance on the basis OF S.Goc tor mid
