may have been more scrupulous in this
regard than those of another; the sub
divisional lines were in some instances
run several years after those of greater
Importance, and the trails may have
been obliterated by cultivationin the in
terval; and the trails may have been,
doubtless were in many cases, overlaid
by later freighting roads, and so their
original character wholly disguised.
The maps do, however, show some
things. They show a radiation of
trails from two Pawnee villages on the
south side Of the Platte, some five and
eight miles below Fremont; another less
distinct radiation from the Otoe village
west of Plattsmouth and third from
point OH the Missouri in Thurston
county, no doubt the place of the
Omahas. No roads appear in the vi
cinity of Nebraska City, though this is
known to have been favorite stopping
place of the Otoes after the building of
the block-house in 1916; probably for
the third of the reasons named above.
None appear in the region about Roca,
where Mr.. Blackman found signs of large
villages, nor any near Columbus, where
Judge Savage found Quivira; would
this be because these centers of popula-
tion go back of the travelling age? The
Platte bottom, on the south side, is full
of them for long distance up, and
there is plain one running southwest
from the halfbreed tract, apparently,
which dates from the 3O's. But the
most distinct and continuous of all is
evidently the old highroad between the
Pawnee villages below Fremont and
those on the Republican river in Kan
sas. This runs east of Wahoo, crosses
Salt Greek very near Lincoln, the Big
Blue not far from Crete and the Little
Blue just below Alexandria, and passes
into 'ansas in the northeast corner of
Repul G ccounty. This is rather singular,
because the Pawnee Republic is sup
posed to have been in the northwest
corner of that county. The trail traced
on the maps is twenty-five miles too far
east to be direct route to it.
A careful scrutiny fails to detect any
indication of trails leading toward the
pipestone quarries in southwestern Min
nesota, whittier all tribes are commonly
supposed to have made periodical pill
grimages for the material for the sacred
calumet. 1t is possible that all the po-
etical legends about this neighborhood
having been a neutral meeting ground
for the different tribes, may have been
pure myth.
Calumet, by the way, seems to be the
biblical SHAWN" transplanted by a
queer freak of chronological fate.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, August 1.-THE Government
crop report had depressing effect on
railroad stocks at the opening and some
sharp declines were made, particularly
in Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Union
Pacific and Atchison. The selling con-
tinued pretty general throughout the
first hours, traders offering stocks down
more confidently when grain prices rose
strongly. Trading then lapsed into semi
stagnation but fluctuations were unimpor-
tant until near the close when the shorts
bought all around and lifted the market
substantially above Saturdays closing
prices. This movement was not suffice
iently explained, but there was a vague
report current that the Steel strike was
settled. Large dealings were made in
the United States Steel stocks at the
opening the first transaction in the COM
mon being 5000 shares at from AZ to 421a.
The fact that the strike order was not
obeyed in some districts aroused bet
ter feeling toward the stock and it was in
pretty fair demand throughout the day.
Final prices for the common and prefer
red were the best and indicated net
gains respectively of rs and points.
Free selling OF sugar attracted some at
tention, the price dropping four points. A
report was circulated that the president
of the company was seriously i'll end
professionals were also inclined to put
out short lines on the strength of the
Forthcoming opposition plant. The stock
recovered two points when the illness OF
Mr.. Havemeyer was denied. People,
Gas showed no trace of its recent liqui-
dation and moved strongly UP ending rs
higher. Western Union was unusually
prominent in the late dealings and inn
proved materially. The late upward
movement in the railroad list carried a
number of stocks up from / to 2 points
above the early prices, with the improve
ment most pronounced in Missouri Pacific,
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, st. Paul
and Atchison. The close was fairly ac-
tive and strong.
The bond market was quiet today and
but few changes Of Importance were
made. Total sales (par value 81, 015 COO.

COTTON
New York August 1.-THE market for
cotton futures opened steady in tone with
prices two points higher to two points
lower, this being in keeping with Eng
lish cables, which showed ,frmer ruling by
the trade there. Soon after the call weak
ness developed under nervous general
selling, brought out by reports of good
rains in all parts Of the central and
western belt, except central Texas,
where drought continued in all counties
with the single exception of Brennan,
which received over half an inch yester-
day. The forecast indicated further show
ers in that region, all of which tended
to make longs uneasy and to create
pTeJuuice III ldNOT VI IL ioWtI net
The selling movement carried October
off to 1922 and January to 1923. 1t was
seen that new cotton was coming in much
more freely than at the same time last
year, that cotton goods markets in this
country were listless and heavy and that
spinners were buying along hand to
mouth lines. In the afternoon the market
turned quite a sharp corner on New Or
leans buying through brokers, and work
ed back to the highest level of the fore
noon. There was little cotton for sale on
the upturn. Slight reactions followed
every lull in the afternoon buying and
at no time were commission houses prom
inently engaged. Belief that tomorrow S
weekly Government report will show a
marked improvement in the crop condi-
ton except over Central Texas, deferred
conservative operators from taking a
hand either way for the time being. The
market was finally quiet, with prices net
one to three points lower.
