BIG HAY CROP.
Is Selling for $1 Ton in Litchfielt

Is Selling for $1 a Ton in Litchfield.
 The hay crop is so large this season in Litchfield county that hay in some sections is offered, standing, for $1 a ton, and goes begging at that price. Old hay in the barns is also so plentiful that it is unstable in many instances, where it is from ten to fifteen miles from Winsted.
 One farmer living over the line in Massachusetts told the writer Thurs day that he had barn full of old hay he could have if he would come and take it away, and he had also, he said, two or three big fields of new hay still uncut, which he did not propose to cut, because he didn't know what to do with it, if he did cut it, and he could not sell it at present prices and get enough to pay him for the labor of cutting, curing and handling it.
 One reason for this state of affairs is the enormous crop, another is that farmers have sold off a good deal of stock at good prices for beef and veal and have less stock to feed it to, in the way of cattle, and another reason is that electric cars and bicycles have killed good hay markets in the cities and towns by lessening the number of horses owned in livery stables and car stables.

The Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 3.-There was V no asm in the stock market to-day as a result of the peace news The market broadened out materially and was con- dently strong all day, but inquiring ob- servers feel considerable doubt wheth- CT the peace prospects had much to do with the rise Of much more effect is the generally growing conviction that the dullness of the local money market
 is not at all due to sluggish trade con- ditions but rather to the abundant SUD- plies of money at interior points to meet the requirements of expanding
 business and the movement thus far of the crops. Yesterdays gold inl- ports resulted in stiffening foreign ex-
 change and in appreciably easier money rates for time loans. Exchange experts are not able to figure any profit
 on the gold import operation at the present level of exchange and these
 operations must be accepted as antici- pative of future conditions. If the inn
 porters anticipated higher money rates abroad they would probably leave their
 funds there without drawing the ex- change. It seems doubtful also whether
 the present low rates of money here
 would themselves invite such an opera
 tion. Prospects of an enlarged demand
 through awakened business activity
 must be looked to to explain the pres
 ent gold movement The general tenor
 of talk heard in Wall street is all of
 expected increase of trade and indus
 trial expansion. The growth of the
 west bound freight movement and fa-
 vorable reports from experts in the
 different trades are accepted against
 the shrinkage in the grain movement
 and resulting decrease in earnings on
 some of the western railroads. State
 ments of earnings for the fiscal year
 are being brought out simultaneously
 with those for the month of July and the heavy outlay for betterments and
 Improvements shown by these exhibits
 indicating possible economies in the future serve to neutraliZe the decrease in current earnings The general view in the street Is unmistakably bullish. The general strength of the market was taken advantage of to realize profits in some of the recently manipu- lated industrial specialties, but there was a broad and comprehensive de- mand for the standard stocks, the grangers and the fayorite dividend payers leading.
 Dealings in bonds were also active and widely distributed. A feature of l the day was the rise to par of the Northern Pacific fours. This is one of large class of similar bonds issued | recently for congratulations which have been favorites in the bond mar lzet. The Northern Pacific mortgage is i the first of them to rise to par. There was very large absorption of other | railroad bonds which have been gain | ing added security from the largely | increased earnings by railroads in the | last fiscal year.

TH1RTy-oNE PIECES OF ROAD
Accepted by the State Highway Com
 rhiaaippar

Accepted by the State Highway Com
 missioner.
 Highway Commissioner Macdonald has not yet appointed q succession to Chief Clerk Allen, who entered Monday upon his duties as postmaster at Mid dletown. Commissioner Macdonald has accepted thirty-one pieces of road, built under his supervision since last April. The law requires that the towns shall keep their roads in repair, but the com missioner says he is poWerless except to suggest proper methods to keep them in shape. He has no right to repair them and charge the expense to the towns If they do not keep them in good condition. He thinks such law would be for the interests of good roads. No penalty is attached to failure to repair state roads.
 It is a good time now to remove brush and other Instructions from wa terways along the highway, the com missioner says, and cut down weeds which collect water along the shoulder of macadam roads. Such Instructions prevent the water from falling to the gutters, and new gutters are made be- tween the crown and old road, which undermine the shoulder and ravel out he best stone road.
 Cutters, If not kept clear of ob- structions, are liable to clog, and water overtlows the road, cutting it out, and requiring many dollars for repairs. Commissioner Macdonald knows of a case where little twig, not removed from the gutter, caught grass and sand and stopped up a gutter, turned the course of the water and gullied out q road, doing considerable damage.
 Wild carrots have begun to blow. Commissioner Macdonald says if every body would cut these carrots down, in two years they would be practically ex- terminated. The trouble is that some of them are not cut and they blow to adjoining lands.
