BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen
From Wall street.

From Wall street.
New York, April 19.-There has been
a decided inehease in speculative activ-
ity during the past two weeks This
could not be entirely attributed to the
Louisville. and Nashville incident,
though that may have been stimu-
lating factor The principal cause has
been the prospective Improvement in
monetary conditions.
A very important event even from the
American point of view was the repeal
of the War Tax bill imposed at the
outbreak of the war with Spain. This
repeal Of super1uous taxes will of
course check the congestion of funds in
the treasury, which had been a serious
financial menace ever since the war
closed. The only effectual means hith-
erto of releasing funds withdrawn UNI
necessarily by. taxation was by the
purchase of bonds; a most objectiona-
BILE method, because it constantly d.
ninished the basis of national bank
circulation, and so forced a'further ul-
innate contraction of the currency; to
saw nothing of the folly of the govern
neut paying unnecessarily high prices
for its own bonds. The repeal of the
The Savannah morning news., 1902-04-21

war taxes, therefore, removes a serious
clement Of disturbance, which had II
been allowed to continue would sooner
or later have involved the country in
fresh financial spasms. The avoidance
of such contingency is distinct aid
to confidence.
The Louisville and Nashville episode
las developed another very important
fact, viz, that Mr.. Morgan is in COM
plete control of that system. With
masterful sagacity he has evidently
measured the possibilities of further
contests for control in the spread OF
the concentration movement, and with
admirable tact has accomplished his
purpose without dangerous friction.

Manchester, April 20.-There was a
fair amount of inquiry during the last
week, but business was not brisk. The
turn over was small. The continued
advance in the price of raw material
compels producers to decline major
ity of the offers made by consumers.
The dealings in printing and bleach
ing cloths were not small. but sateen
makers enjoyed better business at most
satisfactory prices. Values were firm
all around, but without change from
last weeks quotations.
Yarns were steady and quiet. The
spinners were firm, but orders were
scarce. Prices were stationary.

wiIberforce's Latest In

London, April 20.-"Smoking church
services" are the latest innovation and
promise to spread and attract many
of those who habitually spend Sunday
in the vicinity of public houses await
ing the hour of opening of these places.
Archdeacon Wilberforce of Westmin-
ster started the movement during the
present week. He invited the men who
were fitting up Westminster Abbey for
the coronation to spare part of their
dinner hour to religion, gave each man
an ounce of tobacco and told the men
to come and smoke and make them
selves at home during the service. The
men were delighted by the novel prop
osition and have been assembling daily
in the cloisters to the number of up
wards of one hundred. They join
heartily in the hymns and Lord s
Prayer, occasionally taking a drink
from their beer cans, though they in
variably remove their caps and pipes
during prayers.

CHESTNUT CULTURE.
Methods Employed by PennsyI-
vania Gentleman Who Has
Grove of 2O5 Acres.

Coleman X. Sober, of Union county,
Pa, owns the largest chestnut grove
in the United States, says the Phila-
delphia Press. 1t comprises 205
acres, with over 100000 trees. Mr..
Sober is a wealthy lumberman of
Lewisburg, whose object is to render
profitable the millions of acres of
wild mountain land in the common
wealth. When a boy of IL he asked
his father, while grating fruits, to
graft some young chestnut trees, but
was only laughed at. Five years ago
he carried out his boyish idea, on
land too rough even for sheep pas
ture, the waste of numbering opera
tons, on the sides of Irish valley,
eight miles from Shamokin. Pine and
oak were cut down a generation ago,
leaving chestnut standing. Cutting
these down, young shoots sprung up
which were grated with scions of
Paragon, a crisp, sweet nut, five
times as large as the native chestnut.
This fall Mr.. Sober harvested his first
crop, 80 bushels, worth 81 bushel,
and in a few years his returns will
be by the thousands. In fact, the
estimate for next year is about 1900
bushels, which, at Sc, would be $1S,-
900, from land not worth So an acre
for farming purposes. Mr.. Sober did
the first grating himself, with lit
tie assistance. The last two seasons
he employed eight grafters for five
weeks, each man averaging 300 trees
a day. Ninety per cent. of the CRAFTS
were successful. The groves are pro-
tected on two sides by fire roads,"
and all brush is carefully burned
Game chickens are kept to prey on
the chestnut weevel, and sheep to
keep the grass down. Mr.. Sober ia
vors transplanting seedlings rather
than planting nuts.

Government Help Is Needed.

The improvement of our country
roads is so nearly private matter
that we need not look for govern
ment help. All the taxes raised in
cities for road improvement are ex-
pended within the city limits, so that
the wealth of the cities would be ex-
empt, except through the possible
channel of state or county aid. Thus,
the expense of making hard roads
would fall upon the farm lands and
personal property outside of the
cities. AS the laws now stand there
is nothing to hinder the making of
good or hard roads wherever the ma
terial is within reasonable distance,
or where we feel like mourning the
necessary outlay of time and money.

Farmer.

FARM TELEPHONE LINfS.
Hints on How to Obtain Rights of
Way, Erection of Poles and
Stringing Of Wires.

correspondent who is interested
in the construction of telephone lines
in the country asks a few questions
which are of legal rather than a
scientific character. They all relate
to rights of way. The following in
formation, printed in reply, is supplied
by the president of a company whose
business it is to build lines of this char
acter for other people.
When there is a cluster of houses,
not incorporated as a village, it may
be well to get franchise from the
town authorities. Indeed, the town
alone can give franchise under these
circumstances. The village has no Off
Gals. The usual place for setting poles
is at the point where sidewalk Tor foot
path) adjoins the roadway. There is.
no law on the subject. 1t is custom
that governs. But it never would do to
plant a pole in the middle of the high
way, nor, on the other hand, would it
be tolerated in the middle of the foot
path. In cities and villages where
there is line of curling it is usual to
set poles just inside that line, in the
outer edge of the sidewalk In the
country the responding place is Sc
lected
A farmer is supposed to control the
property outside his fence, at least as
far as the curb line, and can veto any
scheme to set pole there, if he Sc
riously objects. Sometimes construc-
ton company "steals a march" on him.,
by planting the pole before he can in
terfere. But that is practice not to
be encouraged. But when the consent
of other property owners in the vicin-
ity has been secured, and only one
man stands out, it is not unusual to
carry the line across the street, put
pole or two opposite his land, and then
come back again.
If it is desirable to cross another
telegraph line, without touching either
the poles or wires thereof, one may
do so without saying Shy your leave"
But when a neighborhood wishes to
make use of existing poles, of course
the owners consent must be secured.
In this case, it would be proper to
write to the president of the company.

HIGHWAYS IN EUROPE.
France Probably Has the Best Laws
for Building and Repairing
Public Roads.

Two hundred years ago England
had the worst roads in the world, be-
cause the peasantry living on the
roads alone were required to work
them. In speaking of them Macauley
says "that.a route connecting two
great towns which have a large and
hourishing trade with each other
should be maintained at the cost of
the rural population scattered be-
tween them is manifestly unjust. 1t
was not until many toll bars had
been violently pulled down, until the
troops had in many instances been
forced to act against the people, and
until much blood had been shed that
good system was introduced"
Every class now contributes to the
maintenance of the road system in
England. The French have probably
the most efficient laws and regula-
tions in the world for the building
and repairing of highways. The min
lister of public works has the general
superintendent of all roads and
ways by land and by water. There
are four classes of road recognized
by law, namely: (D national, (2) de-
partmental, (3) military, (4) cross
roads. National roads are built and
kept up by the national treasury
Departmental roads are a charge
upon the departments through which
they pass, and part of the military
roads are kept up by the government
and a part by the departments
through which the roads pass.
The cross roads are kept up by the
communes, though sometimes in
thinly populated regions these COM
munes receive assistance from the
government, especially when these
roads become of Importance.
The national roads are paved like
a street, having an average width of
1914 feet. The departmental roads
are 80 feet wide, and the military and
cross roads are of variable width.
Piles of broken stone are placed at
convenient distances and a man is
constantly employed in repairing each
