FEATURES OF TRADE.
European Shortage of Cereals
Worked for More Than Was
IN IT, AND PRICES ON THE DECLINE
Light Hides and Calfskins Dull, and Steer
Hides Higher.
HARNESS LEATHER MOVES FREELY

OFFICE OF PTrTsBURG DISPATCH.
SATURDAY, Sept. II.
The feature of the week in trade lines has
been the steady decline of cereals. Short
European cereal crops were evidently
worked by the bulls last month for more
than facts justified. We are now having
the reaction from the too high prices of Au-
gust. Wheat which under speculative in
fuences went to 81 10, is now down to 81 90.
Flour has found a lower level under the in
huence of declining wheat, and prices are
25c per barrel lower than they were week
ago. As will appear by reference to market
columns, receipts of grain and hay for the
week have been unusually large.
Hay, oats and mill feed have been steadily
gravitating toward a lower level all the
week, under the influence of heavy receipts
In produce lines we note a firm market for
dairy product, at higher prices than ruled a
week ago. Peaches have the lead in fruit
lines. Other fruits are slow and dull. Nege-
tables touched their lowest point for the
season this week. Gardeners lament the dull
ness of trade. Their loss, however, is the
consumers gain. Not for many years have
farm and garden products been so low as
they are at present.
Hides and Calfskins.
Light hides and calfskins are dull and
slow, and heavy steer hides are strong at
shade higher prices. Receipts of common
and low grade cattle have been unusually
large at our local yards of late, and the ef-
feet is seen in the abundance of light weight
hides and the scarcity of heavy weights.
Heavy steer hides have well nigh ceased to
be quantity in our local markets. The
few that came to the front are very active
at prices quoted, which are Lc per pound
higher than a week ago. On the other hand
buff hides and calfskins are very dull and
inside quotations rule.
Following are prices paid by Allegheny

OUR HOPES NOT "BLITED."

Columbus, a town shaded with for.
est trees and fragrant with roses, and
flowers of every cline, is passing
through the shadow of adversely.
Her hopes are blited and prospects
gloomy. Her business men are ever
anxiously looking TO see the hayseeds
roll into town to give their business q
little boom from day TO day. But we
are sorry to note that some still hang
to the ragged edge of despair.-Colum-
bus Modern Light.
We question if this picture is true,
but even if it is the Modern Light
shows very poor taste in exhibiting
such a state of affairs TO the outside
world. Now look on this picture
Baxter Springs, town shaded with
beautiful forest trees, fragrant with
innumerable flowers, luscious fruit,
priceless health restoring springs,
lovely girls and fine trotting horses,
has passed through all her trials and
tribulations without a murmur, and
with prospects brighter than ever, her
hopes un-"blited," everything serene,
she is entering into season of unlim-
tied prosperity, business activity and
financial success. Her business man
is too busy to watch the shay seed roll
into town." but when he does cast his
weather eye out on the street he sees
good many sleek looking teams with u
couple of Clydesdale or Kentucky
colts alongside and he sees Mr.. Farm
or with basket of eggs (l5 cents
doz.) on one arm and bag of great
big new potatoes on the other ready to
make swap" Us lbs. of sugar for
dollar with him.
The Modern Light has either got
hold of the wrong town or the wrong
set of farmers. Neither the Cherokee
county farmer nor the Cherokee coun-
ty merchant is hanging on to the ''rag-
ged edge of despair" Our merchants
are doing a better business than they
have done in the past ten yenrs and
the former comes to town and trades
lust as lie always did, and always will.

his old friend the town merchant, puts

other bee sting remedy and goes out Of

tented farmer man.

FOR THE HONOR OF OUR TOWN

FOR THE HONOR OF OUR TOWN,
There is no longer doubt that
many thousands Of people will cele-
brate the national holiday in Baxter
Springs. A large number of these
visitors will sec our city for the first
time aud il stands to reason that we
should endeavor 10 make a favorable
impression on all our guests and en-
terrain them TO the very best of our
ability.
In order to bring our celebration to
successful aud satisfactory issue re-
quires not only money but work. The
barbecue must be forthcoming in
good shape; the street parade should
be a successful feature of the enter.
tainment; the vocal and instrumental
music should be first class; the speak
ers should be on hand promptly and
every feature of the entertainment
should be carried out as advertised in
the program.
There is no question as to the speak
ers, the barbecue and the music, but it
devolves upon the business men of the
city to say whether or not the street
parade will prove effective. If each
merchant would spare the time to rig
up some sort of vehicle and make
display of his goods he would not OH
ly be well repaid in advertising his
business but would add materially TO
the entertainment of our visitors.
Our merchants seldom have so good
an opportunity for advertising, aud
they certainly ought TO feel sufficient
interest in the honor of the city to
take this trouble.
We are requested by the committee
to ask all those who are willing to help
out the good cause to report to j. Fl.
Humphrey, who will hare charge of
the business mems parade.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.
Every city and town of Importance
has its building and loan association,
and experience has shown that these
institutions are of great benefit to the
town and its people. They enable the
poor man to build houses at about the
cost of rent, and thereby in a few
years own his property and cease to be
a renter. We understand that some OF
our citizens arc making arrangements
to organize a home building and loan
association in Baxter Springs, and we
wish them all possible success, as no
enterprise or movement can be made
in our beautiful city which will be Of
80 much benefit to our citizens and do
so much toward imI rowing our town.
