NEW ROAD WANTED.
FARMERS In Glendorado Interested in a

Farmers in Glendorado Interested in a
Cutcff Road Across Section Seven in
GreenDusf.
Jens Ford, one of the old settlers who
lives close to the county line over in
section twelve in the town of Glendo-
RADIO. was in Princeton Monday with
cattle for the E. Mark Live Stock Co,
Mr. Ford has always found it profitable
to trade with Princeton merchants and
prefers to trade here rather than in
Foley which is just little closer for
him than Princeton. He is working
hard to awaken an interest in opening
road through the quarter line of Sec
ton seven in the town of Greenbush.
The road was laid out four years AGO
but nothing has ever been done with it
in the way of opening it up and making
1t tit for travel. Mr.. Ford says that as
the roads are at the present time there
are many farmers in his section who
come to Princeton to travel who are
obliged because of the section seven
road not being opened up to travel
from five to six miles around, and when
they have loads to haul and the roads
are not always the best, it is quite a
hardship. He says that efforts have
been made many times to have the road
made passable, and farmers in his Sec
ton have almost given up ever being
a To hn ILL.,
which appreciates the trade from that
section. has been doing a great deal to
have the roads leading to that place
put in good shape for travel so as to
secure as much trade as possible, and
is making a good bid for the farmers
trade. Mr.. Ford says that unless the
business men of Princeton and the town
! board of Greenbush and the county
commissioners join hands and see that
the road is opened up that Princeton
will stand to lose considerable trade,
while on the other hand, if Princeton
and the county and town authorities
are disposed to be a little generous to
that corner Of the township of Green
bush there is bound to be increased
trade from farmers in that section who
with any kind of direct road would
come to Princeton oftener to market
produce and to trade. Of potatoes alone
there would be more hauled to Prince
ton if the road was shorter and more
direct. Mr.. Ford has taken up the
matter with some Of the farmers in his
section and has secured subscriptions
amounting to S73 in work. They have
a lot Of fine gravel that can be used on
the road if it is opened and edgings and
slabs can be secured from an adjoining
mill to help in building the road
through some low places. 1t would re-
quire about $3.50 to build the road and
Mr.. Ford thinks that enough interest
ought to be aroused in the matter to
secure the building of the road, and he
is quite right, for a small matter like
this should not stand in the way of in
creased trade for Princeton. Here is a
matter that the business men of Prince
ton can we'll afford to investigate, and
take such action as will assist the farm
ers to the west of us in getting to
Princeton with the least delay and as
little trouble as possible.

Difficult to Explain Break in Price of
Securities,
IMeyer & Kiser's Telegram.l

Meyer & Kiser's telegram
NEW YORK. Aug. At is a difficult
matter to explain the sharp break in the
price of securities to-day or 10 account sat-
isfactorily for the serious -revulsion of feel
ing shown in the trading. Liquidation of an
insstent character. combined with selling
for the short account and the selling of
stocks hypothetical for loans, conspired to
depress the general list and to establish
very low records for certain stocks. Prima-
rily the weakness in United States Steel
and Virginia and Carolina Chemical and
Consolidated Gas We're the influencing fac
tors which started the decline, but the
whole list speedily manifested weaken
ing tendency that encouraged the bears
operations and neutralized all bullish SEN
timent. Several breaks in the Steel stocks
may be attributed to the general belief
That the present chairman of the finance
committee who in the popular estimat ton,
has stood for continuance of dividends
on the common stock. will be superseded
in a short time by Henry G. Prick, whose
policy. il is believed, will be rather TO cut
the dividend on the common stock or pass
it altogether. In view of the general bear
ish attitude toward the Steel stocks this
would be sufficient TO account for the break
but ii may be said further that certain
loans in which the Steel stocks figure are
still to be closed out The raid on Consoli-
dated Gas was to be expected in view of the
company's announcement of forthcoming
issue of new stock. Standard stocks to-day
were affected with the rest of the list. and
even the good undertone which has been a
feature Of the trading since the suspensions
about ten days ago was lacking. Sucn
stocks as-Baltinore & Ohio, New York
Central Pennsylvania, Illinois Central,
Atchison and Louisville & Nashville showed
losses ranging from ~ to Pa points at
one time during the day. Union Pacific and
Atchison were weak features of the rail
list during the afternoon. Some bearish talk
ON Union Pacific found ready listeners,
but it is certainly not a safe stock to be
short of at the present time. The present
time is one where ultra conservatism must
play its part. Despite the hopes that have
been entertained the financial atmosphere
is not yet thoroughly clear. The monetary
situation is all right, but individuals and
firms in several instances lack necessary
strength. If they are to be forced TO the
wall it will continue to induce nervous
ness.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4-There is an unwel-
come amount of moisture in the spring
wheat belt and some very low temperatures
in the Canadian Northwest, and reports
generally covering this territory continue of
a bullish nature. The frost of the 30th of
July in Manitoba is said to have done more
damage than originally reported Accept
ances OF new wheat continue very light, the
country showing little disposition 10 part
with their holdings. At the same time
there is an improvement here in the inquiry
for No. hard winter wheat and Europe is
said to be awakening to the situation. The
market closed strong at practically the high
point for the day. On every dip wheat
seems to find plenty of friends with faith in
ultimately higher prices.
Corn seemed to be without friends for a
few moments after the opening until an in
fluential interest took the cheap offerings,
which started the short interest created by
the dullness of the past few days TO cover
ing. The small bulls seem to be pretty well
out and their holdings have gone into
stronger hands. The State reports showed
no sensational changes from the July fig
ures. The Missouri condition is lowered
two points, Iowa reports fair progress, but
the crop needs warm weather. The Illinois
crop is very uneven and growth held in
check by recent cold nights and estimates
of yield being reduced.

Disquietine Rumors on Change.

[Albert r. Thompson & Co.'S Wire.l
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The stock market
suffered again to-day from more genuine
liquidation forced by the calling of col
lateral loans and further indefinite rumors
adverse to holders of large blocks of various
securities. Tie general DECLINE was also
augmented by bear attacks subsequent to
the report that President Schwab, of the
United States Steel Corporation. had ten
dered his resignation, which would be ac-
copied at the meeting this afternoon, and
that III. c. F'rick is TO be advanced to a
prominent position on the executive COM
mittee, if not promoted to succeed Pres
ident Schwab. 1t is argued that Tricks OBJ
lection to paying dividends on the common
is a strong bear card on this security,
which is specifically stated to be the cause
of much selling of the common to-day. The
whole list closed weak and 1t is hard to
differentiate the bear selling from genuine
liquidation without further information as
to the real situation here. An opinion as 20
the immediate course of prices is worth
less

Travelling Statesmen Are Securing
Substantial Fall and Winter
Orders-Produce Market Active.

The month of August has opened up
under more favorable conditions than had
been anticipated and all lines of trade are
reporting good business prospects for the
month. The dry goods houses report their
travelling statesmen as securing good fall
and winter orders and the mails are bring
Ing in orders for immediate delivery in
larger numbers than usual in August. One
reason assigned is that there is a tendency
To an advance in prices on all lines of dry
goods. especially cotton goods. Drugs is
another line of trade which is very lively.
The four large drug houses all report more
orders than usual at this season of the
year and prices are ruling steady and firm,
linseed oil having ruled quiet for several
days. The millinery houses report trade as
starting in quite briskly for so early in the
season The confectionery houses report
their trade improving and prospects good
for a large fall and winter trade and an
especially large holiday trade. The iron
and steel trade the last few days has in
creased In marked degree and orders for
iron and steel and like materials are com.
ing In freely. The season of the year has
come when these dealers have a good many
orders for wagon materials from country
merchants and wagon builders and their
trade generally is improving The flour
market continues to show considera HE
activity and prices are very firm. on Com
mission row II was rather quiet day
Stocks held are quite large. but with the ex

little accumulation of old stock some very
choice apples are coming on the market
and the Irish potatoes received are of ex-
cellent quality. In fact the time has been
reached when most OF the receipts are well
matured and Of desirable purchase. The
produce market is quite active. There is a
big demand for poultry, as the receipts are
unusually light for the season of the year
prices are firm at quotations. Butter. un-

gratifying surprise.

NERVOUS WHEAT MARKET
FLUCTUATING PRICES CLOSE FIRM
AND AT AN ADVANCE.

a Slight Reaction. ,

CHICAGO, Aug 4.-The grain markets
were rather weak early in the session. but

wheat being up sc. September corn 1z9&sc

closed easier, the September products being
unchanged to nc lower
Wheat was in fair demand at the start by
local traders. who were influenced by the
continued rains in the Northwest, and open
ing prices were firm. with September easier
than the more distant deliveries, opening
shade lower to nc higher at 79ssQ7s3.c and
soc. The early strength was soon lest, how
ever, owing to the weakness in corn and
September being down to 79lsc. Prices
fiuctuated nervously the greater part of the
day, but an expected advance in the North
west markets. with more damage reports
from that section, together with bullish re-
ports from Europe. caused a strong tone
late in the session. and the close was near
the top September closing at SoSsc, gain
of 5sc, after it had sold UP TO SSsQsOi2c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 2l6,0O0 bu. Primary receipts were Sl. 800

worlds visible supply. as shown by Brad
streets, decreased 1,613,000 blu. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts OF lag cars.
which, with local receipts of 1S3 cars, % OF
the three points of $50 cars, against Sl2 cars
last week and 719 cars year ago.
There was a moderate trade in corn. Sep
TENDER was sold quite freely early in the
day, and this selling pressure depressed the
more distant months, but later a good de-
mand developed which caused rally. The
chief bull factor was the Missouri crop re-
port, although the late strength in wheat
was also factor. The close was strong,
September 1kQ5sc higher at 5214q52ssc, after
selling between sic and 523sc. Local re-
ceipts were sos cars, with % of contract
grade.
Disappointing threshing returns were
largely responsible for the firmness in oats,
though the scarcity of offerings helped
prices. While trading was not on large
scale there was fairly good demand

3324c and 1880 September closed A@Ssc
higher at 3414c. Local receipts We're S9S

Provisions were strong early, due to an
advance of from &c to 15c in prices at the

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS.
Aug. 4.-Cattle-Recepts, $50: shipments. 1000.
A mixed lot Of cattle were represented, and
there was quite scarcity of stock that was
fully up to the requirements of buyers at this
time Most OF the consignments were cattle that
were a little below the standard in quality, flesh
or weight, and great many were on the stocker
order The market opened with fair inquiry
from local packing houses for steers, heifers and
cows that were thick fat. good weight and OF
prime quality. Any that answered that descrip-
ton sold at strong prices compared with yester-
day, and more satisfactory than last Friday
but hardly up to the expectations OF statesmen
and owners. On account of the liberal supplies
in the East there was practically competition
from shippers to-day, and this. of course made
local buyers more independent Cattle that were
below the requirements in any particular were
badly neglected from the start; it was extremely
difficult to transfer any of this class at steady
prices, and doubt quite sacrifice would have
been necessary to effect clearance. The condi-
tions were not altogether the FAULT of the mar
ket, but largely due to the poor class of cattle
represented. While statesmen realized about
what they expected for the best selections the
market for other classes was so unsatisfactory
that the inclination was to report general condi-
tions below expectations: Quotations:
