LACKAWANNA POLICIES
AGAIN UNDER ATTACK
Norris and Essex Protective
Committee Hits Failure to
Call Meetings.

A circular issued by the protective
committee OF the stockholders OF the
Morris and Essex Railroad Company
enters a vigorous protest against the
evils OF interlockirg directorates.
The committee. whose chairman IL

The circular complains that the Lacka-
wanna has called Morris and Essex
stockholders meetings only once In four
or tvesycars, whereas the laws OF New
Jersey and the bylaws of the company
both call for nnual meetings.
The circular says In part: "If the
~Lackavanna had been actuated by the
motives that should control Individual
trustees II would have submitted to your
representatives.. or 10 a court or some
other tribunal such as the Interstate
Commerce Commission or the Public

was selling at about SO cents when the
crops foundation was not equal to that
OF the present and subsequently there
were further declines Of about 10 cents
a bushel. The downward tendency was
effectively checked by enormous foreign
buying and the outbreak OF the war.
The visible supply was reduced $780,
900 bushels yesterday to $4,000, 900
bushels. This small total presages some
active buying OF new wheat for mills
when the movement commences in
earnest. Milling interests are hoping for
n dry harvest. The lowest visible on
record was 5,S90.000 bushels on August
20, 1898. A year ago there were 23,-
100000 bushels in the visible supply.
Corn-The apprehension over tho
start OF the corn crop was intensified
yesterday. Rains fell in the eastern
belt and In scattered western districts.
Inc crop needs several days OF clear and
warm weather to permit OF the compile
ton OF planting and field cultivation.
Much OF the buying during yesterdays
session was for the account OF shorts.
although In instances the advices were
sut'ciently serious to induce outside
speculative demand.
n moderate demand for actual con-
sumers was also inspired by the un-
settled weather conditions. This would.
uouotiess, nave been more active but
for the prospect of improved weather
In the near future and assertions that
larger farm offerings would follow a
stretch OF satisfactory climatic condi-
tons.
The break in the wheat list was the
principal depressing factor in the late
trade. More was heard OF Argentina
underselling America by s cents a bushel
in the Liverpool market. Bids for
Argentine corn laid down at domestic
seaboard points. however, are still 4 to
10 cents out OF line.
Oats.-The settings against the NOV
ing new crop was reflected In the lr-
regular price changes OF yesterday.
For a period the entire market was
aided by the pronounced strength of
corn. Some advices OF late oats harvest
in sections of the central West and
runors OF export business served to In
duce some short covering. No important
foreign takings were traced, however,
and In the afternoon operations there
there was a moderate setback due to
tho further declines In the wheat mar
ket. The visible supply was reduced
2.600.0 900 bushels TO a total Of $500, 900
bushels. against 1900, 900 a year ago.
Provisions.-The weakness in the
provision markets was again attributed
to hedging against the large hog move
ment, liquidation and bear pressure.
