A large amount of jealousy and dis
satisfaction exists between the merchants
and their farmer customers owing to the
habit the latter class have of sending di-
rect to department stores ana jobbing
houses the cities for bills iotftgoods. It
is true HAT sometimes this is done, when
the farmer actually has neglected to pay
the merchant for goods; bought on credit
during the summer, and of course it is a
wrong. But on the other hand, the mer-
chants themselves, are not any too care
full in dealing with erch other, or with
mechanics or people in other lines of
business. Then the merchant does not
always look after or encourage his farm.

their produce; he keeps no refrigerator
and in summer he can't handle more
than a dozen pounds of butter: When
he gets in twenty or thirty dozen Of eggs
the farmer has to take his eggs home
again because the merchant has no room
for more. 1t is practically the same way
with potatoes and often the farmerhas no

followed by Oliver and tho traders. There
was so little pressure TO sell, however, that
the declines during tho morning hours were
simply fractional in character
Sugar was weak ON what was claimed to be

suit all tho Graugers were trife lower. The
stock was quito firmly held, however, and no
very considerable breaks were anticipated.
II is believed, however. that the short con-
tracts that are outstanding for Burlington,
Louisville and ST. Paul will present anything
more than traders recession in these prop
.rties. The stocks are legitimately worth
from s. to SO share more than their present
price. and this valuation is based upon imme

Rock Island acted weak today, but good
judges are of tho opinion that it will do much

lection should any raid of proportion be at

moderate recession as the point on which TO
buy the stock.
Traders do not look with favor upon West

high. The short interest Is so lerge, however,
that it is doubtful If any raid of proportions
could be carried out. There is also big short
interest in Missouri Pacific. and many good
judges are advising the long side at least for
"a safe turn.
Chicago Gas showed considerable weakness
at the opening and dropped TO SO7-s. SO

is that the foreigners are taking considerable
