Down in the Colorado rainbelt most
OF the farmers who are putting in fall
grain are drilling 1t in corn ground
They propose to leave the cornstalks on
the ground to catch and hold the snow.
The settlers have learned that the corn
ground retains moisture better during
the fall and winter than that which has
been in small grain because Of the
deeper tillage incident upon the use
OF listers and subsoil plows. Some
growers are 30 imbued with this idea
Of cover protection that they put in
cane seed with the wheat in the expec-
tation OF getting a growth OF the sor-
plum sufficient to hold the snow and
thus protect the winter wheat.-Vleld

HEAVY SALES OF STOCKS THAT
VASTLY PUZZLE WALL STREET

New York. Sept. 29-Wall street
spent another gloomy day yesterday
which was devoted mostly to trying to
puzzle out where the unending stream
OF liquidation came from and what
caused 1t. Information on the subject,
or even authoritative opinions were ex
tremely hard to get 1t is pointed out
that the great bankers and capitalists
were not heard of in warning last year
during the high range of prices, while
they were seeking a profitable market
for their holdings at that level. From
this 1t is inferred that the buyers of
class which decides market movements
would not be heard of melting others
to buy II they were themselves seeking
securities on cheap terms in the pres
ent market
There is, in fact. rather a notable
lack of public quotations of authorities
pointing to the cheapness of stocks,
which has been heard from time to
time during the course of long de-
cline and at price levels considerably
above the present. But it is equally
true that men seeking a market to re-
alize ready money at forced sale of Sc
curities are not likely to miss any
means of concealing their transactions.
The source of selling orders in the
present market is battling mystery.
and differences usually drawn from the
personality of the brokers employed
are almost invariably at fault
The conditions which prompt the
liquidation and probable limits of this
extent are consequently the subject of
grave disauiet and apprehension. 1t
was the failure of stock jobbing opera

Berlin. Sept. 27.-A high speed trial
over the Zossen experimental electric
railroad yesterday resulted In attaining
q speed Of 1T miles per hour. Every
part of the 100-ton car was intact. and
the roadbed was not affected.
Tho fact that the machinery and the
roadbed were not impaired gives every
hope of attaining speed at the rate Of
126 miles per hour.

tions that brought the early selling.
and the losses reported were almost
wholly on paper. as previous gains had
been. But later episodes represent the
failure of enterprises in which extern
sive capital has been embarked. at
demonstrably unproductive employ
ment. Capital thus sunk is capital
lost.
Comptroller Ridgeley's opinion, ex-
pressed before the Maryland and
Washington bankers. that "a large
percentage of the loaning power has
gone into unproductive interests"
formulates the dread of Wall street
over the present situation. The re-
action IN the iron and steel Industries,
the high interest rates, especially on
mercantile paper. and the curtailment
of production in other lines, caused the
fear that other extensions have spread
to the industrial and commercial
lines. representing the additional ''un-
productive interests" to be followed by
liquidation and contraction.
The present course of the banks is
directed toward conserving the COM
mercial and industrial needs of credits
and to this end they are inexorable to
all promotions and financiering pro-
jects. The miscarriage of these pro-
jects is still the cause of most of the
liquidation.
While the great majority of Wall
streets prominent men show decid
ed disinclination to talk for publica-
ton, inquiry among the very highest
financial interests elicits statements
that nothing of serious or untoward
character is apprehended.

President at Washington.


Washington, Sept. 29.-After an alb
sence of thirteen weeks at Oyster Bay,
President Roosevelt returned to Wash
ington yesterday. His special train ar
rived at O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The President was accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Alice Roosevelt
and other members of the family, and
by Private Secretary Loeb.
The President was greeted BY sew
eral hundred people. who cheered when
he entered his carriage. He also was
met by Postmaster General Payne
Colonel Symons superintendent \ OF
public buildings and grounds, Chief
Wilkie of the secret service and other
public officials. The President and
family drove direct to the White
Hous. The trip from New York was
uneventful.
1t is the Presidents present inten-
tion to return to Oyster Bay early next
summer. In the event of his nomina-
ton for the presidency he will remain
there throughout the summer and au-
tumn, until after the November cleo
tions. AS yet he has perfected no
plsns for the presidential campaign.
He has no intention of participating
actively in it. 1t is likely, however.
that he will deliver some addresses at
Oyster Bay.
