YOIIK , May 4. Mr Jny Oould sat In
ils ofllco in thu Western Union building to
day uud talked to a Sun reporter about some
natters which aio of great Intotost to the
luanclal and railroad wet Ids. "I think , "
said Mr. Ciould , "that the meeting of the
Western Traillo association on Wednesday
will bo an until olj harmonious 0:10. I have
leard of no tallroads whoso action is apt to
bo of a different character. 1 think tl.ut the
I'soclallon will bo pioduetlvo of gloat good. "
"Do think " asked "that
3 oil not , ho was ,
jeforo gi eat results can eomo from the asso
ciation it will bo necessity to start It on now
Inos such , for Instanceas the establish-
nent of Joint agencies for the handling of
competitive business ! "
"It will not be noceisnty , " said Mr. ( Jould ,
' 'to si ail the association iiuow lu order to ac
complish this. In fact ( giundedly ) I thltiK
t ijiilto possible tint the voiy point of joint
igencles will boeiy seriously considered at
Wednesdays meeting. The association
should prove a poweiful intluoneo for good
and the effect of its fututo actions should bo
strong. You remember that when it was
'oiined It caused n tut n in the tide It has
undoubted ! } a\ oiled a pinlc. Thu Interstate
commerce commission has declined pooling
llogal that is , the dlIsion of money after it
tas been cained. Indeed , there woie grave
luostlons among railroad mo i as to the
egalltj of this before. Tito apportioning of
tralllc Is a dillct out in itter and the con i ts bao
aheady decided the principle to bo n legal ono
n a somewhat nnalgous c.iso the cast ) of an
express company making a contract with u
iidlroad for tiansaction of Its business.
Ibesu Joint agencies would bo Indoiiendent.
The head of c u.li ono would appottloa oft the
justness equitably to the roads concerned , I
don't S.CP how any tioubic could aiisothrongh
: ho p i } mout of unlawful commissions bv cor-
, , iln lallioads. In our boutbwcstcin associa
tion wo had no trouble of that kind Uockly
statements would bo submitted by each of
the agencies to the vanoiu roads , showing
each one's share ot business. Theio
would bo no Inducement to cut
rates I suppose that the present
weakness in the stock iniikot ntisos from
.he OXDOHS of gold , which hnvo caused a
tightness in the monox market. Mj trip to
: ho west made mo feel very hopeful. 1 found
the crops In line condition and the pcoplo
onoi ally encouraged 1 ha\o not sold anj
stocks and all tt'o securities I hold are inven
toried very much hlphur fiiiteud of being a
seller I have been quite an cxtcnstvu buyer
and at no previous time in twelvu months
have 1 held so much stock as I now possess.
I have added to my holdings , especially of
Missouri t'acitlc , and hnvo not sold am thing.
It Is n long time to wait until December , il ,
ind It is Impossible to say whether wo shall
iiavo nctlvo money this year , but money will
bo comparatively easj until late in the fall ,
and even then wo mu\ not experience the
sllehtest stringency , especially If Uinopo
buys our brcadstuffs , and thoio are moro
than reasonable prospects th.it It will. I feel
convinced that mutters aio on the mend and
that the present Is not simply n bull move
ment , but the \ear will bo a bull ono. "
President Marvin Hughitt of the Chicago
.t Northwestern , speaklnc on the same sub
| ect , sa'd ' : "There will ho no tioublo in the
western association. The meeting \Vodnes- -
day will , I think , bo n serious disappoint
ment to all who harbored n belief that a
chaotic condition of nffalis would result fiom
a conference. The railioad compmlos aio a
unit on the question of maintaining talcs and
doing business ou a sound basis. The Mis
souri Pacific mutter will not lead to distill u-
unco E\or > thing will go peacefully. "
Albert Keep chairman of the Cnicago &
Northwestern , who will bo at tbo meeting of
tbo Wcstcin Tronic ; association , taUos n most
liopoful \ low of the existing condition. Ho
sold : "Tboio Is no icason to expect nnj dls
turbanco. Theio will bo nothing but good
feeling , I think "
President Sidney Dillon of the Union
Pacific sajs that ho looks for n most harmoni
ous mooting aucl thinks thoio will bo a full
attendance.
Mr , Coppell , chairman of the Denver &
Kio CJrandc , u > of the opion that the meeting
of the advisory board of the Westeiu Traffic
association will bo haunonlous. Thu difler-
cnt companies com satisfied , and it is cni-
dent that the ncoplo of the country served
by tno roads are awake to the fact that It Is
to their interest primarily that the roads
must live. The fate of all adverse threatened
legislation is the best evidence that the people -
plo , shiupois and iceelvcis tue in accord with
the lailioads , and though there Is ability to
do moro business , jot theiu is no cutting of
rates and consequently all customers are beIng -
Ing treated alike to their advantage.
Western I'.iHHoiiKor AsHoclatlon.
CuicAdo , May 4. Much attention attaches
to the May meeting of the Western Passen
ger association , which begins tomorrow , for
Lho reason that everybody ox pacts the Chicago
cage & Alton to ralso a great disturbance.
Uveryoody may bo greatly fooled unless It
becomes necessary for the Alton to defend
Itself by measures to w bleb. It lias not here
tofore resorted. Ofilclals of the Alton say
they will net disrupt the association
unless forced to oy other lines , Thus
far the boycott of the eastern
roads has cost them no business
and no rocnuo and they have no icason to
complain on that score. If the board of rul
ings Is confident that the boycott will suc
ceed , the Alton corpoiatlon Is Just as confident
It will not. A railioad man who sympathizes
with the Alton said today tti.it ho believed

WHILE
YOU
WAIT
It is a well known fact that we never mark goods up. "When we
advertise anything at a price , that's the price so long as the goods last.
We don't sell anything cheap for a day or two , or three , and then raise
on the price after that. That may be all right from one point of view ,
but not from ours. We sometimes advertise an article for say thiee
days , ; we do this as we think that that time will see them all gone.
Should any remain on the fourth day you're welcome to them at the
same price , but thai seldom occurs. About a month ago we put in stock
a large quantity of unlaundried
They are not worth fifty cents , but are worth thirty-five to forty. We
find that -when a man will pay that price he'll invariably go a little
more and buy a fifty center. When any article in our stock don't sell
as it should , we've got a happy way of making it. We mark 'er clown ,
