RATHER BULLIsH TEMPER.
BrRdstreet's Summing Up of Stock
Market Conditions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say: A
rather bullish temper prevailed this
week, in spite of the continuance of mar
row professional speculation. \ slight
relaxation of call loan rates, which.
though by no means general nor to all
appearances apparently permanent, re-
suited in quotations of 12035 per cent
toward the end of the week. had a good
effect and supplemented the favorable
conclusions of Wall street about the
crops and their results in connection with
railroad traffic and earnings.
There was disposition to take an eX-
aggerated view of the significance of the
secretary of the treasurys order to re-
sumo the issue of gold certificates to the
extent of $40 000,0 600 The plausible view
of this matter is that it is an experiment
which, if successful in relieving the de-
mand for notes, will be followed by a
return to the more or less unrestricted
issue of the certificates in question. The
market, however was influenced for =
moment by unfounded reports that the
plans OF the treasury included an in
crease in the governments national bank
deposits, or other measures calculated
to help the money market while subject
to the pressure of the crop movement.
combined with the augmented demands
arising from the activity of business.
Increased interest IS SHOWN IN the con-
dition of Western banks, and in the ques-
ton of how far they can provide the
money needed to harvest and move the
crops without any large demands on New
York for assistance, the matter being
emphasized by the fact that considerable
amounts of money from other cities are
said to have beeh loaned in New York
this week. The further decline in eX-
change and the probability of gold inn
rte -.
port movement begins was an additional
reason for the increasing indifference
with which Wall street regarded the
question of higher money rates as an OBJ
stacle to a further exhibition of bullish
speculation. Consequently, the firmness
of time money, which has been held at
412d5 per cent, had decidedly less in
fiuence though in conservative quarters
the necessity of caution is urged, in view
of the high prices for securities and the
probability that more money Will COM
mand permanently better rates.

WE ARE BEHIND.

To whatever cause it may be due, the
interest in the establishment of good
roads has increased remarkably within
the past few months. The increased
interest is not confined to any one To-
cality or section. 1t extends all over the
country, but seems to have found its
Northwestern limit at the boundary lire
of the state of Minnesota. Iowa, Wis
consin and Illinois are we'll in advance in
! the movement, while in the East and
South the work in its practical aspect is
advancing apace. In kentucky the 1nove-
ment is in active progress, and there are
already hundreds of miles of well built
! roads in the adjacent states of Tennessee
/ and North and South Carolina The eff
feet in the South is making itself visible.
| Knoxville, Tenn, for instance, has one of
the best if not the best, local markets
in the South. This fact is now generally
| conceded to be due to the excellent con-
dition of the country roads in that vicin-
| ity, Knox county having more good roads
In the advancement which is being
made in the East New Jersey may be
said to take the lead. The construction
of the macadam roads in that state last
year was eighty-seven miles. The chief
| trouble now lies in the inability to con-
| struct roads enough to meet the public
| demand in that state. A system of con-
| tinuous avenues has been adopted, so
that lines of good roads are now nearly
completed through the heart of the state
Atlantic City and Jersey City are now
united by such roads, while many lateral
roads join these main ones and run out
to county seats and important towns.
Farmers, who at the outset of the move
ment went into court to save themselves
through mandamus proceedings the in
creased expense of such roads, are now
enthusiastic in support of them, and it
is highly probable that the popular de-
mand for a state appropriation of at
least 1000 for good roads will be
adopted.
The progress of the movement in the
Middle Western states is indicated by the
fact that between Sept and %
there viii be twelve good road conven-
lions held in the state of Illinois alone,
one being a state convention to be held
at Springfield on the last date named.
The others are all district conventions,
each covering several counties They
will be attended by prominent speakers.
They are all held in prosperous and pro-
gressive cities, and the railroads in each
case have given reduced rates to them
So also in Iowa and Wisconsin good
roads conventions are being provided for
at several points the dates, however,
having not yet been decided upon
Strange as it may appear at first
thought, the best friends Of the good
roads movement are the railroad corpor-
atoms. But these concerns know how
materially the movement affects the gen.
eral welfare and how greatly localities
are benefited by it. Hence their interest
in the movement. It would be an ex-
ceedingly gratifying circumstance if the
railroads or some other equally strong
influence could be induced to take the
necessary steps to awaken the people of
Minnesota from their strange indifference
to this important subject.
