number of these have purchased small

Corbin road on the Spokane & Occur
d'Alene tracks.
Temporary traffic arrangements
have been entered into between the
two local railroad companies whereby
the Spokane International is to use
the tracks of the Graves road pending
the completion of its own road to this
city. The latter is now this side of
Athol, Idaho, and construction work
is being pushed toward this city. 1t
has feen not made known where the
two lines will meet.
The statement made few days ago
by General Superintendent Z. j.
Roberts of the Spokane international
that that road would enter the city
within 30 days was evidently founded
on the arrangement just made public.
AS a fitting celebration of the
opening of service on the new road
the private car of Division Superin-
tendent Erickson of the Canadian Pa
cific at Cranbrook, B. c., will be at
tached to the freight train when it
reaches that city, and it is expected a
number of prominent citizens of
Cranbrook will come through to Spo-
kane on it.
Judge j. c. Wilson, who will be
one of the party from Cranbrook,
states that the new line will do big
J freight Business and will be invalua-

EXTRACTS RECEIVED
BY The GAR LOAD
ALABAMA GROCERY COMPANY RE-
cEIVE AN UNUSUALLY LARGE
SHIPMENT OF FLAVoRlNG Elk
TRACTS FROM ST. LOUIS CON-
Germ.

While passing through the freight yards
of the Louisville and Nashville railroad
yesterday, an Age-Herald representative,
who has been connected with the whole
sale grocery business for number of
years, was confronted by remarkable
example of the wonderful growth of the
wholesale grocery business of this city.
A box car of extraordinary length had
just been switched onto a sidetrack for
the purpose of unloading. On each side
nearly forty-five feet long, bearing these
words: This car Is loaded with Cook $
Pride flavoring extracts, for the Ala
bama Grocery company, Birmingham,
Ala"
AS the representative had never before
heard of such a thing as a straight car
load of havoring extracts, he proceeded
to investigate the matter and upon in
quiry found that this remarkable and UNI
usual shipment had been made by the Ed
ward Weston Tea and Spice company of
ST. Louis, Mo-. the early part of the
week, and that it represents but one of
two large shipments of these high grade
extracts, which this st. Louis concern
had made to the Alabama Grocery COM
pany within the past thirty days.
Forty-three thousand and two hundred
bottles of this one brand of extract is
exactly what this car contained. A stu
pendous amount, truly.
This is pretty strong evidence of Bir-
mingham's rapidly increasing Jobbing
trade and one can safely estimate that
all branches of business are progressing
at the same rate.

STEEL TRUST LIQUIDATION
Two Billion Is About Total Shrinkaae
of Shares Within Past go Days.
Financlers Keeping Eye
Well on Market.
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, July A.-(speciaD Most
traders in the stock market who we're
strongly bullish when stocks averaged 20
points higher, are uncompromisingly
bearish at the slight recovery from the
inside quotations last week. Three
months ago they could see no reason
why prices should not keep going right
up; now they refuse to recognize any
excuse for recovery in market values
The mere fact that there has been
total shrnl1age of about $2,0o00OO,OOO in
the quoted prices of securities within
the last ninety days, and that the mar
ket, therefore, must be that much nearer
bedrock makes slight impression. The
country at large seems to be fairly rev
cling in prosperity, yet the rank and file
of traders cannot get it out of their
heads that something portenteus is hang
ing over the market. All they can see
and~know positively is that there has
been heavy liquidation of stocks for in
side account since the spring boom. The
speculative end of their argument is
grounded almost entirely on the chances
of tight money during the fall and win
ter months, and on a reasonable certainty
that the political campaign this year will
be unusually full of ginger with radi-
calism in the forefront of agitation. The
stock market is likely to remain in a
professional rut for some time, although
forces seem to be working for general

The Steel Trust.

The prospect of agitation for tariff re-
vision is not the only disturbing thing
confronting the steel trust. 1t is face
to face with the new rate law. which
distinctly and directly prohibits corpora
tons from engaging in the dual role of
manufactur and that of COM
mon carrier. The steel trust owns 1000, =
100000 tons of Lake Superior iron, be-
sides 145O miles of railroad and Great
Lake fleet by virtue Of which it obtains
a freight advantage of $40 per ton over
competitors on practically every ton of
pig iron 1t uses. The steel trusts out
put is now on a basis of about 1L0Oo.o 600
tons of pig iron per year. Stated In
gross, this represents an advantage over
competitors of about $25 100000 per annum
In the matter OF transportation IF obliged
to part with its Transportation asset and
stand on an equality in that respect
with it's business rivals in the iron and
steel trade, 1t would sacrifice In a large
part the advantage of $40 per ton,
which it now enjoys The item of $23,-
600 900 a year on any major percentage
thereof would he an important matter
in the income account of the steel trust,
overwhelmingly gigantic though it is. In
the very first section of the newly en-
acted rate law, 1t Is specifically stated
that the provisions OF the act shall APP
ply to ANY corporation and to any COM
mon carrier or carriers engaged In the
transportation of passengers or property
wholly by railroad Tor partly by railroad
| and partly by water. when both are used
under the common control, management
| or arrangement for a continuous carriage
or shipment. from one state or terri
tory of the United States or the District
| OF Columbia, to any other state or terri
| tory Of the United States or the District
| of Columbia"
Further along in the same section is
found this iron toothed paragraph which
| seems to have been constructed with
special view to its application to the
equal force to every corporation trans
porting its own products in competition
with the business of the general public
| The paragraph reads Prom and aft
| er May /, 1908. 1t shall be unlawful fol-
any railroad company to transport from

| Columbia, to any other state, territory
or the District of Columbia. or to any

/ featured products thereof. manufactured

authority, or which it may own in whole

SWALLOWS A PIN.
Atlanta Girl Had Just Taken 1t From
Her Shirtwaist.

Atlanta, Ca, July 2l.-(Special.)-
ouch, I've swallowed a pin" was the
startling statement made by Miss Bes-
sic Irelan, an employee of the Block Candy
company, while at her work yesterday
afternoon.
She was holding the pin in her mouth
and suffered great agony for a short
while, the pin becoming lodged in her
throat. Miss Irelan is but 16 years old,
and but recently began working at the
candy factory. Yesterday afternoon
shortly before o'clock she removed a
pin from the shirt waist she was wearing
and put it in her mouth.
Almost Immediately she grasped her
throat and cried out that she had swal-
lowed a pin She made several unsuc-
cessful efforts to reach the cause of the
terrible pain In her throat, but was un-
successful A cab was called and she
was sent to Grady hospital. In the mean
while the pain In her throat had ceased
and physicians at the hospital stated that
the pin had passed on into the young
girls stomach.
Provided Miss Irelan suffers no fur
Their from the presence of the foreign
object In her stomach, no operation will
be performed, but IL the pain returns,
an operation will be performed at Grady
hospital.

AS Common Carriers,

1t will doubtless be urged on behalf of
the steel trust that its railroads and
lake fleets are legitimately part and par
eel of its mining and manufacturing
business and on that account exempt
from the provisions of the rate law.
on the other hand 1t is argued that every
foot of railroad owned by the steel trust
built under the state charters must for
that reason If no other come under the
head of common carriers" an obligation
from which the properties cannot free
themselves. This may or may not apply
to the lake fleets owned by the steel
trust although 1t is understood that they,
too, make pretence of being engaged in
the general transportation business, as
evidenced by published freight schedules.
etc.
Judge Gary, chairman of the executive
committee went on record in a law suit
against the steel trust with an estimate
of the value of the railroads and lake
fleets of the corporation at about $780,
100000 The trust railroad mileage is In
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wis
consin. Michigan and Minnesota.
It is more than likely that the mystic
rious inside liquidation OF steel shares
that has been going on for a month or
more is traceable TO an uneasiness over
the phase of tho trusts future as re-
yealed in the extracts from the new rate
law as quoted above. Within the last few
days there has been a very general deliv-
cry of certificates coming from inside
sources the sale of which had been pre-
viously carefully concealed until the sell
ers were ready to get out from under
cover.
A dozen or more railroad and manu-
featuring corporations are In the same
boat with the steel trust, and there has
been heavy inside liquidation in these
quarters as we'll, notably in Pennsy1-
vania, Erie, Reading, Chesapeake and
Ohio, Norfolk and Western, Union Pa
cifc, Southern Railway and Baltimore
and Ohio. There is the very evident ne
cessity on the part of these and other
corporations to either 'beat the rate bill''
within the next twenty-one months or
comply with its provisions prohibiting
them from operating in competition with
the public, from which they derive all
the special privileges they enjoy. In the
final analysis 1t will doubtless be shown
that large part of the shares sold on
the market decline witnessed during the
last two months is for account of in

PARLIAMENTARY UNION

The most important business Of the con-
ference eenters around two propositions
of Mr.. Bartholdt. submitted in behalf
of the American delegation to the Brus-
sells conference of 1905. The first proposes
an international congress. and the sec
ond model arbitration treaty to be
submitted to the next conference of The
Hague. The reports of the two commit
tees appointed at Brussels just issued, ia
yors both propositions with certain modi-
ficahons. The arbitration treaty favored,
represents a compromise between the
proposals of Mr.. Bartholdt and those of
Ernest Won Plener, formerly Austrian
minister of commerce, and make arbitra-
ton on an appeal to The Hague COM
mittee obligatory in a number of specified
cases. It excludes questions affecting vital
interests, national independence, or SOW

upon the specification of these features
IN order to meet the objections of the
American Senate to granting the execu-
tive unlimited authority to arbitrate.

During the Entire Session the House
Has Been at Bitter Odds With

St Petersburg, July 22,-The Russian
Parliament which has been dissolved by
imperial ukase was constituted May 10.
1905, amid scenes of general rejoicing.
The speech from the throne read at the

The reorganized council of the empire

tines and Buriats in attendance.
On the third day of the sitting in the
lower house the first signs of the oposi-
tions antagonism to the government
when the demand for amnesty and the
Polish campaign for autonomy began,
and when on May IS the reply of the
lower house to the address from the
throne was adopted opinions became gem
eral that this would cause a conflict with
the crown because OF Its radical demands.
During the entire session the lower
house has been at bitter odds with the
ministry and has demanded It's resigna-
ton and the formation of a cabinet
from members of the majority. Time and
again there has been rumors that the
Emperor, because of the radicalism of
the OPPOSITION, intended to dissolve Par
liament and rumor has had it that troops
would be called to forcibly eject the
members IL they hesitated to obey an
edict closing the house.
