MUST FALL INTE LINE FOR MEALS Service on the Coast Divi- sion Creates Indig- nation. Numerous complaints are being voiced by patrons of the*Southern Pacific Com- pany who travel over the mew coast di- vision line. They claim that a number of changes should be made at once for the comfort of the many hundreds jour- | neying on the road at this season of the year. The chief grievance is the poor dining | car service that is at present in vogue. The trains that leave here and Los Ange- les carry what is known as a cafe car. This car has accommodations permitting fifteen people to partake of meals at one time. The train that arrived here late Friday evening from Los Angeles car- ried more than 400 passengers. During the trip up those who wanted to partake of a meal on the train had to stand in line and wait their turn. As an actual fact the line at the lunch hour was of such a length that those who were at the end of it did not get their meal until 4:30 p. m., which is pretty mearly dinner time. On this trip two women fainted from ex- - | haustion while waiting their turn to get { a meal. The passenger car service on the coast division is also very bad. ‘When the trains leave Los Angeles at this season of the year they are crowded with tourists, who are on their way to San Francisco, Numerous stops are made along the road and by the time a train arrives at Mon- terey the cars are crowded to inconven- ience, There are always at this point many passengers on their way to this city and the conseugence is that a number of them have o cither stand in the aisles or sit | on the arms of the chairs until they zr- rive here. A number of the patrons of the road claim that they will bring the matter to the attention of President Hays unless there is a change for the better. They say that more coaches are needed and that a dining car service should be insti- tuted at once. Master of Transportation Richardson said last evening that the coast dlvision trains at present consisted of seven cars. The cafe cars had been built especially for the coast division service and they would be replaced by dining cars if the immense traffic continued. _He .said the trains could not make the time they do at present if they consisted of more than seven coaches —_——e————— No Pay for Overtime. Auditor Wells vesterday returned with- out his approval three demands for owver- time sent to him by the Board of Public Works. The demands were drawn in fa- vor of George Keeley for 8563, M. Kava- naugh §7 13 and Ed Sweeney $7 87, and rep- Tesents pay for extra sewer work. Wells says that his attorneys advise him that fhe charter does not allow pay for over- time to city employes. He says the men are paid for work on Sundays and holi- Gays and the charter says this shall be in full compensation for their services. ————————— blin Queen’s Bench has decided m?i.,' m« the employers’ and work- men’s act, a barber not a wo! ‘because he must use his brains. husband of Tiliie | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL | 1901 SUMMARY OF THE MARKETS.

The principal destinations were: China, $79%,- 200; New York, $702,922. Dried Fruit in New York. Mail reports from New York say: “‘Prunes are selling freely and 50-60s and 60-70s are firmer. The scarcity of these sizes has not been relieved, and it probabl would have been a difficult matter on Saturday to ‘pick up even a half car of either size from an- one dealer. Holders ask 5%c firm for 50-60s, and more are asking 5%@5%c for 60-70s. There is a firmer market for 90-100s, whica are scarce also. “No_buying from the coast was heard of Saturday and no purchases of association stock have yet been made so far as can be dis- covered. Some association goods, however, are stated to be on the way, and the holders say they believe they will be wanted at full prices when they arrive. Some of the largest jobbers say that the trade must buy association 50-G0s Very soon. "‘_’Rj,hllns are selling in a small way to the J3ast Side trade for the approaching holidays, Valenclas being in most demand. Imported 2-crown and 3-crown Sultanas are firm at sligh:t | advance. Peaches are in a little request at | the low prices and some business is doing in | apricots on @ cheap basis. Sales of five cars were reported, but particulars were not di- vulged. Ralsins are selling slowly and the market is easy, in sympathy with London. Apples are a trifle easier.”” Me:chandise for Vicloria.

McADIE, Forecast Official. # & — Associated Banks’ Statement. i # NEW YORK, April 6.—The weekly state- ment of averages of the Associated Banks shows: Loans, $904,440,600; decrease, $12,449,- 300. Deposits, $985.781,300; decrease, $18,601900. Circulation, $31.78L700; increase, $146,700. Legal | tenders, $69,402,500; decrease, $2,967,700. Specle, | 152,560,500 decrease, $3,710,300. Total reserve, § decrease, $6,275,000. Reserve re- quired, $246,445,325; decrease, $4,625,47: Sur- plus reserve, $5,871,975; decrease, $2,052,525. The Financier says: The changes in_the leading items of the Assoclated Banks of New York for the week ending April 6 are heavier than for a month or more past. The current statement covers a full week, aithough for two days of this period the stock and com- merclal exchanges were closed. The exMibit reveals a further decrease of 3$2,052,525 in_ex- Cess reserve, bringing the total surplus above requirements to $5,817,915, the Jowest figure touched since December § last. The cootrac- tion was due mainly to a loss of $6,678,000 in specie and legals, and the latter, in turn, re- flects in full the operations of the bank with the treasury and the interior. It should be understood that the drain on the banks by reason of gold exports, etc., counts to the full amount in the statement, while on the other hand recelpts probably show only aver- " 'The week, however, was characterized by several temporary transactions that cut into the banks' totals. The gold exports have alrcady been mentioned. In addition a | deal of currency has been flowing out of New York in payment of sales of gilt-edged secu- rities in_this market, and the treasury has also profited by reason of unusual sales of | stamps and payment of taxes, etc., at this center. The banks. therefore, have been put to an unusual draifi, but the reduction of the ican item $12,448.300, with the fall in deposits of $18,501,900, offset nearly two-thirds of the cash loss. With reference to the changes in the leading items it is to be moted that sev- eral large banks are responsible for the beaviest decreases. These institutions repre- sent the syndicates which have figured in deals of varlous kinds for some time past, and is to causes incident thereto that the bulk the week's can be attributed. As the general effect of the statement on current money market it is idle to speak efsas Local bank clearings for the past week we:e | length. It will not be surprising If the reve- lation of the low state of reserves in New York causes an advance in call loans early apprehend much change in time money rates unless it be in short loans. The larger 'anks seem to have the situation in hand. and if general belief is correct no incentive to mark rates bevond & minimum figure exists. It does is inevitable for the time being at least. * | {New York Grain and Produce. # 3+ ! | * NEW TYORK, April 6—FLOUR—Receipts, 64,932 bbls.; exports, 10,116, Weak and lower to sell, with trade light.

These prices were % to 1%c higher than the close the previous session and marked a com- plete recovery from the demoralizing break of the first two sessions of the week. Phillips the bull leader, who i¢ credited with having control of the market, bought moderatély: fir customers and declared that he sold nothing. The demand was broad and heavy for country Interests, and at times frantic from local shorts. “The aggregate amount' of the day's transactions was undoubtedly enormous. For a few minutes at the opening offerings were light, but they became freer soon. Longs, profiting by recent experience, realized that the market still has two sides and took profits. There was, however, no indication of any bear movement, but, on ‘the contrary, some of the shorts who covered were those who had led In the raid Monday and Wednesday. The mar- ket yielded with ‘the greatest stubbornness. Shortly before noon May touched 4ic. From this it reacted to 4414@idlic and closed e higher at 4iléc. The strong opening was due to wet weather West and to light = offerings. The reaction was influenced to a moderate de- gree by the pronounced weakness of wheat, But sentiment, which apparently had returned to its previous bullishness in the mafority of cases, was malinly responsible for the tone of the market. The pit was jammed full, and despite the activity of wheat and oats, the coarse cereal held the speculative leadership of the floor. -Receipts for two days were 515 cars, 107 of contract grade. The wheat market was a striking contrast to corn. It was easy at the opening, weaker as trading progressed and weaker at the close. May opened unchanged to %c lower at 12%c tc 72 for one brief moment, supported by the corn strength. There were no cables and the array of news offered anything but cheer to the holders. Argentine shipments were 1,696,000 bushels and Snow’s crop report averred that in twenty years the spring growth had never been better at this season. ' “The new century opened,” sald this report, ‘‘with wheat in un- excelled condition and an acreage the largest on record.”” Added to these was the expecta- tion of bearish statistics Monday. The light- ness of Australian shipments and reports of a sharp cash inquiry and heavy flour sales did_little to check the decline. = Bears ham- mered the market down to 7lc during the first two hours. At this point stop-loss orders were reached and & further slump to 70%@70%c fol- lowed. The close was weak, 1%c lower at 70%c. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were equal to 676,000 bushels, while primary receipts were §22,000 bushels, 'compared with 559,000 bushels lact year. Minneapolis and Duluth re- ported 498 cars, against 360 last week and 463 a year ago. Oats were comparatively quiet. There was a heavy commission house demand as well as covering by shorts, while local longs did most of the selling. The reaction following the open- ing was in sympathy with wheat and corn. May sold between 26%c and 26%c and closed a shade higher at 25%@25%c. Provisions, especially pork, were easier on liquidation by longs, although there was noth- ing of a particularly bearish character appar- ent on_the surface. Trade on the whole was duil. May pork closed 3ic lower. May lard closed The down and May ribs closed 7o de- pressed. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles— Open. High. Low.

London Market. LONDON. Arril 6.—Tha tone of money was easier to-day. The release of Government aivi- | dends partially relieved the short loan pressure and documents were steady. Business was quieter than usual on a Saturday since the quarter-turn and money was more stringent. The expected keenness has been intensified since April 1 by the Bank of England declining to lend on shorter periods than a week, Insisting on 41¢ per cent. About two-thirds of the in- Gebtedness, amounting to several millions, had to be renewed April 2, only to be liquidated with the release of home and Indlan Govern- i ment dividends, though easier rates were an- ticipated. Payments for the final installment of £3,450,000 exchequer bonds of the issue of April 12 will again send borrowers to the Banmk of England, especially next week, being the set- | tlement, nor can marked relief be expectsl | from Government disbursements pending the | Eggs, dull; { budget. The opportunity is open for many clearances of prosnectively dutlable goods Im- mediately and thereafter revenue collections will shrink. The coming loen will soon absord | the excess of disbursements over income and | the market doubtless will have to rely on the jbank for a very large sum. With loan calls of seven millions monthly spread over eigh: | months a_continued distirbance of the money market must encue, involving tank control. It will possibly be found, however, that the maintenance of rates will attrict foreizn money, the prospects of which are increased.

This will be the last opportunity to buy Government stock cheap. | The reduction in the bank's supply of bul- lion this week was due to the large sums sent to the provinces. The report that another ha'f- million has been shipp>d from India is un- founded. The balf-million now expected next week. The accumulation of silver by the Indian Treasury does not point o an early renew of purchases in London on account of the In. dian Government. Apparently the amount held l‘s n,l"algy all the currency the department cares o hold. Chicago Livestock Market. CHICAGO, April 6._CATTLE—Receipts, 200; nominally steady.

Attorney Thomas F. Prendergast filed a petition yesterday with the Board of Su- pervisors signed by a number of whole- sale butchers, asking for the modification of the present pound ordinance in order that their business may not be harassed by the officers of ‘the pound acting in pur- juance of the regulations. The petition is signed by B & McCormick, William Taafe & Co., H. Levy, B. Salles & Co., Clayburgh & George, J. G. Johnson, Charles Rosenberg and Miller & Lux. ‘They represent that the pound ordinance works a hardship and is in restraint of the trade of wholesale sheep butchers in South San Franciscosor the district set apart for the preparation of meat for the people of the eity. That the ordinance is unreasonable and injurious to the interests of the petition- ers was made evident, they say, in the recent summary impounding of a flock of sheep near Hunters Point. That a repe- titlon of such proceedings may not hap- pen, the petitioners ask that the pound or- dinance modified by eliminating there- from the provisions which forbid Ing or herding animals on unfenced lots, so that the ordinance may not apply to the southern suburbs.
