fAXXOT VW INTEREST. Brooklyn Fern/ Company Defaults lon First Mortgage Bonds. The Brooklyn Ferry Company, which owns and operates a sy?:cm of *errii» on the East River be tween Brooklyn and this borough, yesterday de faulted on the semi-annual interest, due August 1, en Us consolidated first mortgage bonds, of which HJWIaf are outstanding. At the office of H. 11. Holiins & Co.. through whom the interest payments ore made, '.t was said that the default was «lue to the fac! Hut tike interest, which amounts to $102. C00, tad not been earned. The trouble, it was added, »-as 0a« result of the development of the subway aftel in this borough, rather than of the increased jiaffr over tr.e Williamsburg Bridge, which extends into th part of Brooklyn reached by the several lines of the ferry company. A protective bondholders' committee, composed cf Claries T. Barney, James Jourdan, Joseph J. O'Donchue. Jr. George 11. Prentlss. Marcus Mayer ar.d Theodore F. Jackson, is asking for the de posit of the bonds of the consolidated mortgage of tjje Brooklyn Fern* Company. The Knickerbocker Truft Company has been appointed the depositary, vfcere copies of the deposit agreement may be ob t»ir.P<3 upon application. Any depositors not assent jug to the plan, when formulated, may withdraw their bonds without expense. Sales of the ferry company's consolidated 5 per c«it bonds were made at auction yesterday at 42. coTr-T"' I'-*1 '-* wiTh th« last preceding sale price of 47. On the cm* the bonds were offered at 33, against last Saturday's offering figure of 45. and the bid price declined from 40 on Saturday to 30 yesterday. A representative of the ferry company manage ment «aM yesterday that the opening of' the sub ,-ay bavi decreased the company's gross earnings by or.e-third. and that the payment of interest had ■ fr.a'.:y eaten up the surplus. He adds: There has been a Mil in the last two legislatures for th* purchase by the city of the Brooklyn Kerry Company py=tem. but it has been lost sight of. This default should bring the matter to a bead. ruder the mortgage the trustee is authorized. If default in interest continues for six months, to §t'.l the property. If it is not bought by the city It is u;> la the bondholders to say what shall be <30r.».

The announcement, made by the Pennsylvania Railroad that its rate is re duced from 3}4 cents to II cents a mile, and that the $10 excels on mileage books .is .to go, has stirred, things up here, • and j certain members of the legislature aver that it is only a scheme to ward off coming legislation. Representative H. I. Riley said to-night that he would do all pos sible at the next legislature to force a 1% cent a mile rate through, and Representative Charles H.

Aug. i.— After a further conference to-day the railroad officials who have been ol«- CMMtng with the Interstate Commerce Commission the interpretation and enforcement or Uie rate law adjourned. On behalf of the commission. Chairman Knapp made the following statement concerning the work and rosults of the conference: The railway traffic officials who have been in con ference with the Interstate Commerce Commission jesterday and to-day were r-ommittees representing the \\ cstern Association < roads west of Chicago) and the Southern Association (roads soutli of the >nio and Potomac rivers and east of the Missis sippi*. They su! emitted three, general propositions :n the nature of requests relating to the publication and filing of tariffs and kindred matter under the amended law. which takes effect on August 28. Hrst— That a 1< nger time is necessary than will intervene before the new law takes effect to pre pare and print rate schedules in conformity with the amended statute. Incidentally, they ask to be allowed to publish their tariffs in the various sta tions by placing copies in the custody of an agent and posting a notice that they are open to Inspec tion hy any person who desires to consult them. Second— That the requirement of thirty days' no tice of change in rates be modified so as to per mit changes In export and Import rates on such short notice as may be necessary to meet the competition of foreign carriers. Third— That In the case of Joint tariffs, which are usually issued bm the Initial carrier, the terminal charges, as «r storaee, switching, etc.. be published and filed by the delivering roads. It was understood by those present, and st?ted distinctly by the commission, that it has no dis cretion under tho present law. and consequently e;->n make no order In regard to any of the matters discussed until the new law takes effect. Moreover, as only thre" members of the commission were present, which is less than a majority as the commission will be constituted under the new law, it was announced that no opinion would be expressed or ruling made until the questions were considered hy the entire commission. It was, however, intimated by the commissioners present that tho carriers should use their best efforts to pri'jiare tariffs in compliance with the law. and that If fuithor time became necessary It would probably he allowed. It was also suggested that a new committee or sub-committee be appointed by the carriers, which should represent the roads generally through the country- for further con ff-ron<-e with the commission from time to time, as might he desired, with the view to co-operation with the commission, and In aid of uniformity of method and practice. There was a general ex change of views respecting various matters con nected with the subjects above mentioned, which will be further considered by the commission. RAILROAD 14,000 FEET ABOVE SEA. Denver. Aug. I.— The Argentine Central Rail road, from Silver Plume, on the Colorado & Southern Railroad, to the summit of Mount Mc- Clellan. was opened for traffic to-day. This road reaches a point fourteen thousand feet above the sea level, and is the highest traction road In the world, with the exception of the Peruvian Central, in the Andes. TRADE IN CHICAGO. [By Trlp>:rav>ri to The Tribunal . • Chicago. Aug. 1. -Bearish sentiment in wheat was slightly modified by advices from New York reporting between 50 and 75 loads taken for ex port. Considerable business was also worked In the local market, while Kansas City reported sales. of 3.000 bushels of hard wheat by way of the Gulf, (losing prices wer* V to %c lower. Corn recov ered fractionally late in the day, closing to lower. Oats averaged %c lower finally. Provisions were weak. Wheat was firm and in better demand at the out ret. The general news was anything but encourag ing, and the market was uull near the close, when bearish sentiment yielded somewhat to New York advices of exports there. Local receipts were 297 cars, with 56S cars estimated for to-morrow. Open- Ing sales of September wheat were 74 1 c to 74\,c, but after touching 74"» c, it turned weak, and before noon had fallen to 73% cto 73»£c. Owing to the severe decline in wheat, the hears to-day gave their attention to corn. Aggressive short selling by some of the larger houses started a break which threw the trade into a lot of stop loss orders, resulting In considerable demoralization. There was a fractional recovery at the elcse. Local receipts were 121. with 117 estimated for to-mor row. The cash demand was fair, with samples i^c to 1r lower. September sold from 31 l to 31% c off to SOY.-c and reacted to 30";4c. The certainty of big crops in the Northwest and the pressure of new grain growing daily caused the development of much weakness in the oats market. Liquidation by big and little holders was on a large scale. Local receipts were 167 cars, with 245 cars estimated for to-morrow. - Shipments hence. 159.000 bushels. September 1 corn, which wild as high as 50?sC to 50Vs<'. broke to 48»4c, and May *old from 4RV. off to 48% c. Provisions were active, but the market had a de cidedly weaker undertone. Liquidation was gen eral. " The heavy run of hogs scared some of the holders into selling. September pork sold from 516 VlV> off to $16 25 and reacted to $lfi 42^. Sep tember lard sold from $8 67% off to $8 6*. and Sep tember ribs sold from $X 95 off to $8 S2V 2 . Hogs receipts were 28.000 head and prices at the yards were steady to 5c lower. CABPBT CLEANING.

STOCK TRAXSFKIt TEST. Defendant in Case, Based on 'Lap, ■ ' Alleges Unc6nstiiulionalihj. : Irving K. Farrington. a stock broker, living at Orange, N. J., was brought before Justice Giegerich. in the Supreme Court yesterday, in cus:oiy of Patrolman Louis Menschlnsr. by whom he ' ha-'l been arrested and taken before Magistrate Brecn. on a writ lof habeas corpus sue:: out by his coun sel, Horace E. Parker, the arrest and commitment having been made to test the validity of the Stock Transfer law. passed by the Legislature last ses sion, and amendatory of an act passed in the pre vious year. " ... Farrington was arrested on a charge of violating the law by selling and dvliverlng to Donald C. Catlln on July 26 shares in various corporations without making any memorardum of sale, and without affixing to the certificates any stamps, a* required by the new law. The complaint against him was made by Catlln to have the constitu tionality of the law tested, the feeling of many brokers being decidedly against it. -Assistant District Attorney *'Johnstone appeared to oppose the writ, and by agreement between him and Mr. Parker the hearing .was adjourned until this morning. *■ '■' It is maintained that no tax in any case should be imposed whore the stock dealt in is not of the par value of $100 per share. Farrington. in his petition, admits that he de livered all the certificates of stock without giving any bill or memorandum of the sale, and without paying any tax on making such sale. He alleges that his imprisonment is illegal, as being In violation of Section 1. Xrtiole 14 of th- Constitution of the United StaU-s. as it deprives him of his property without due process of law. He says that the law is in violation of Section 6. Article 1. of the constitution of the State of Xew York, as depriving him of his property without due process of law. and of Section 10. Article 1, of the Constitution of the United States, as an ex post facto law. The law, the petition sets forth, is grossly un equal In its oneration and arbitrary ln its dis crimination against tne owners of stock of the par value of less than $100 a share. Farrington says that If the law is binding upon corporate stock having a l<?ss par value than $100 a share It would be Impossible for brokers or members in the business to purchase or sell such stocks and maintain business within the State of New York, and it would be necessary for them to transact their business outside fne state and to become liable on office and other leases, and that It would be practically impossible to deal in such storks tn thin state. The District Attorney will file his return to the writ to-day. PLANS SUBPHISE FOR PACKERS Secretary Wilson Starts on a Hi) of In spection. Washington. Aug. I.— Secretary Wilson left here to-day to pay a visit of inspection to several slaughtering and packing houses in the East. It was not announced what cities he would visit, be cause. It was said, to do so would defeat the object he has in view. On leaving his office the Secretary gave instructions that to all Inquiries regarding him the answer should be that he had gone away and it was not known when he would return. IRON ANP METALS TRAD?.. "The Iron Age" says: Confidence in a prolongation of the existing pros perity in the iron trade has been reinforced by the remarkable showing of the United States Steel Corporation's statement of earnings, as well as by the actual market developments of the last month. Leaders in the trade now speak with less reserve concerning 1907. after having for some time limited their predictions of good times to 1906. July book ings of the 9teel Corporation were at a greater rate than th« average for the first six months, and were in excess of shipments for the m>nth. In the East the buying movement ln basic Iron, that was well under way a week ago. carried the total pur chases of the fortnight above 125.000 tons. Home esti mates reaching 150.000 tons. The remarkable fact about It is that consumers provided for their needs for the balance of the y*ar with an advance be tween the first and last buying of but 25 cents. Con servatism prevails, and It la expected that the cor poration's purchases of Bessemer Iron for the last Quarter will be made at about W cents above the 17 25 valley basis of the last contract. Finished material market shows unusual midsummer activ ity all along the line. [By Telejrraph to The Tribune. J Cleveland. Aug. I.— "The Iron Trade Revelew" to-morrow will say: The very heavy specifying by nearly all users of iron and steel products is a very prominent feature of present strong cold irons. Much heavier con tracting has characterized some other periods, hut the tendency not to specify on contracts when business declines Is well understood in the trade. When, however, specifications are received in the great volume In which they an; now coming in there can bo no doubt of genuine prosperity. One of the largest independent interests reports that in July the specifications received were the heaviest in any month In its existence. This is only one of many indications that the Steel < "or poration. with Its unprecedented earnings, has no monopoly on prosperity. Present conditions are remarkably freo from un favorable features, hut the time has undoubtedly arrived when it would be well to consider some quotations, especially on pig iron, with allowances. The very high prices occasionally named generally come from contractors who liavi* disposed of their products for the remainder of the year, although in some capes buyers have been willing to pay lib erally for prompt shipment. Tho heavy buying of basic pig Iron in Eastern Pennsylvania has been a prominent feature. Th« aggregate amount is about 100.0.0 ton?. In Chicago there has lieen heavy liuylng of foundry grades, aggregating seme '0.000 tons. In all centres the market lias been very strong, with a tendency to advance. The old material market, which has been the one wtnk feature for many months, shows decided In dication* of improvement, and there seems to lie a prospect that dealers aim to set their share of i>r« valllnf," prosperity.
