Hating This Way and Something
About Roads in General
The Aledo Times contains an article
on Railroad Projects" in which the
Santa Fe and Jacksonville Southeastern
Railway companies fl cure prominently in
the matter of grades, surveys, etc. The
Times realizes the fact that there are even
some chances of the failure of q railway
building project after it has been decided
upon. The most readily built railroads
are those constructed on paper. and
though the extent of those built on land
Is immense and the cities they have
builded are legion the mileage of the
paper railroads is yet greater and the
cities and villages which have thus been
made competing points and division
headquarters outnumber the visible stars.
Continuing the Times says:
With this introduction by our snec;sI

personal inspection of the route. we

TUESDAY. Dec. 10. {
COUNTRY PRODUCE Jobbing Prices)-
The weather this morning proved adverse
to trade. Tuesday is, as rule, one of the
good days of the week in produce lines, but
steady drizzle this morning was an unpro-
pitious factor, and as a result transactions
were light. A decline of 1c per pound on
creamery butter is reported from Elgln.
The drop brings prices to where they were
two weeks ago, showing that the 1c advance
last week was ill-timed. As our dealers
did not change prices last week on the ad-
vance, there will be no change in prices
this week. The tone of markets in tropical
fruit lines shows improvement as holidays
draw near. Apples are heavy stock at
prices quoted. The same is true OF vegeta-
bles. Poultry is il fair supply and prices
are barely steady.

QUICK RALLY IN ALLEGHENY VAL
LEY RAILROAD STOCK.

1t No Longer Goes Begging for Market
Unlisted fractions Maintain Their. Su-
premacy-Trading of Respectable Vol
ume and the Tone Generally Strong.
The sale of the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
and the probability that it will soon be put
in O position to earn something for the
stockholders caused an advance in the
stock yesterday from 10 cents to 20, without
bringing any of it out. At the afternoon
board, after the sale, 1t was offered at 80.
All the features of the market were good.
Trading was comparatively active and
prices strong. 1t begins to look as if the re-
vival had come to stay. The broadening
tendency of the dealing is an encouraging
omen. There was good display of figures
in the bank and insurance sections of the
list, but they were not on satisfactory
basis, and nothing was done.
The unlisted fractions maintained their
ascepdancy Duquesne losing none of its
prominence. OF the old members of this
group Central developed additional
strength. The others were steady. Phila-
delphia Gas finished with slight loss. Lus-
ter was down nearly point. Switch and
Signal and Airbrake were stronger.
Sales at first call were IS shares of Air
brake at 101, so Duquesne Traction at 1S1a, so
Luster at 10, 10 Citizens Traction at 605s, and
10 at 6O1l Second call, 81 Airbrake at 10l,
and 80 Birmingham Traction at 1S1s. Third
call, 10 Duquesne at 10%. 100 La Noria at 80,
and 8 Iron City National Bank at S.

calls are given in the subjoined table:

Take an hour of exercise to every pound
of food.
We are not nourished by what we eat, but
by what we digest.
Dyspepsia is poor pedestrian. Walk at
the rate of four miles an hour and you VIII
soon leave it behind.
If your stomach is out of order, your d.
gestion weak, or you feel chilly at any time.
bear in mind that you need stimulant.
Do not be deceived in regard to stlmulants;
there are many, but there is only one known
to the world to-day, which combines pure
medicinal qualities, with the best efficiency.
That is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
You can well afford to remember this care
fully and act upon it constantly, as 1t may
mean to you as it has meant to so many
Others, health, happiness, strength and q
long lease of life.
Remember always that when any dealer
tries to sell you something in the place Of
what you call for, he has an interested mo-
tive and is seeking to impose upon you for
his own ends.

local feeling was heavy. May wheat went
off about lc
The bulls had some things in their favor,
and especially the decrease OF ss5.OOo push-
els in the amount on passage and the gloomy
reports concerning the condition of wheat
in Kansas and Illinois, but it did not heip
much, and was entirely overshadoweo py
the weak factors. The demand was slug
gish, no one seemingly having the courage
to buy except the shorts, who put out liberal
lines some days ago, and opened on the
break TO secure profits. There was stop IN
the downward course, however, when the
export clearances of nearly 100000 bushels
at New York was made known, and rally
OF &c followed. Late cables we're weak,
however, and the advance was lost during
the last hour The close was ABOUT sc
lower than yesterdays.
Corn was weak. partly in sympathy with
the break in wheat and partly owing to tne
larger receipts than expected and the I'M
provement in the inspection. Prices grad
uaIly declined. December opened 1c lower
at SIC, sold off to 5O1%c within the first two
hours, rallied some, but weakened to bottom
figures again during the last hour, strength
ened with wheat and closed at 81 PC, January
closed with loss of 111ac, but May was only
! &c lower.
Oats very dull and steady without feature.
Hog products were inclined to firmness
Hog receipts were large, but the buying WAS
sharp. The close shows only slight advances
over yesterdays figures.
