BAD ROADS AND tilati PRICES.

Men who have closely studied the
markets have observed that during
certain seasons of the year when
the roads have been particularly
bad over q large area the prices OF
ceatain commodities have been af-
fected, and have risen in value in
response to decreased supply. In
such case the farmer able to put his
produce upon the market, when HE
neighbors could not do likewise,
has reaped the benefits. 1t natural
ly follows then the better the con;
ditions of the highways ID. 4 certain
locality the better able are the

An eastern friend says among
other things the following: II have
received several Letters from coun.
try merchants In Illinois and other
parts of the West complaining that
their business 10 threatened with
ruin because of the plan of the post
Office department to introduce par.
cells post delivery of merchandise
by the rural carriers. They claim
that the big mail order houses are
behind the movement and that their
motive is to extend their trade. The
country merchants seem to be I'M
der delusion that the postoffice
department lie prejudiced against
them and is regardless of their
rights. They claim that the great
department stores of the cities and
the trolley lines have destroyed the
business of the small dealers, and
that there 10 comparatively little
"neighborhood trading" any more;
because woman in the outlying
wards and suburbs of the city can
jump on a car and ride down town
for 5 cents to big department
store. where che can get a large va
riety and a lower price than the
email shopkeepers can offer. And
now 1t is proposed to ruin the trade
of the village merchants and the
email towns by furnishing a special
delivery system among their cns'
TONERS for the benefit of the big
stores In the cities. "This ALA m
does not seem to be we'll founded
We heard similar lamentations
when electricity was introduced as
motive power. We were told that
there would no longer be any de-
mand for horses. But the facts are
that horses of all kinds bring high.
er prices today than they ever did
and that there is greater demand
for them, Notwithstanding automo.
biles and trolley care. The census
returns chow that the "neighbor.
hood shops" have not been ruined
by the department stores, but have
increased in number very rapidly,
and no village merchant should get
nervous over the parcels post prop

proba BILE that, sooner or later, rural
delivery carriers will be authorized
to handle packages OF merchandise
originating at the places from
which their routes start, and that
will throw the country trade back
into the hands of the village mer-
chants and enable their customers
in the country to send In their or.
ders by telephone or mail and have
the goods delivered at their doors
without going into town. "The com.
