Autos as Aids to Good Roads.

A recent English periodical finds that
the automobile is doing much to i'm
prove. the character of the rural roads
and that people having desirable coun-
try places for sale or lease have less
difficulty low than formerly in dispos-
ing Of them The auto has made Eng
lish highways fully so per cent better
than formerly, and the Improvement
continues. The good roads division Of
our department of agriculture claims
that what is doing for England in this
direction is also doing for us, says the
New York correspondent Of the Pitts
burg Dispatch. 1t has been noticed,
for instance, that substantially all the
roads leading out of the large cities Of
the country are today in good order.
This is particularly true Of the eastern
and northern central states. From the
Alleghanies to the Mississippi the coun-
try roads in many counties are in eX-
ceptionally fine condition. The farm
ers are paying more attention to this
subject than ever before, not only I'M
der the spur of the owners of autos
but on their own account. They have
been educated to understand that good
roads will help them to get to market
A farmer living ten miles from his
county seat in the middle west and
reckoning the distance by the time it
takes to drive it is able under the i'm
proving highway conditions to reach
town in almost half the time formerly
consumed. The practical value Of this
change he is not long in seeing.

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, November 24--Seiling OF the
December delivery had depressing eff
feet today on the local wheat market. but
prices showed little change. the December
option closing only a shade below the final
quotations of yesterday. Corn was up u.
Oats were a shade lower. Provisions were
2ssa5 to 1915 lower.
Liquidation of December contracts. which
has been the feature of the weeks trading
in the wheat pit continued today IN a lesser
degree. There was also some changing
from the December to the May delivery by
elevator interests. With the exception OF
improved weather conditions throughout the
wheat-growing sections of the country
there was little to encourage the bears.
Receipts In the northwest were again small,

Duluth being less than one-half or what
they were on the corresponding day last

In general was quiet. The market closed

were equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary

HEARD ON CHANGE

With the exception of the movement in
the common stock Of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company there was
nothing Of consequence to mark the week
In the course Of business transacted on the
stock exchange. An advance was made In
that stock of about three points as COM
pared with the price at the end Of the
previous week and at the close of the mar
ket yesterday about half of the advance
had been lost.
The general idea about this activity is
that 1t was brought about by the buying
which was done by one broker to fill a
rather large order. It is said that the order
reached $500 shares and when it was filled
the stock naturally had tendency to get
back to its former level.
The fact that this was not done and also
perhaps the light which this incident
throws upon the probable amount of what
Is known as floating stock In the market
makes the proceeding one of interest to
brokers and those who follow the course
of local securities on the market.
There is no doubt that before the level
of the higher figures was left that album
dant opportunity was afforded for those
who had stock to dispose Of 1t and in large
blocks. 1t was concluded from the cir
cumstance that the supply of stock below
forty-two was exhausted.
1t lis regarded by those who have given
the condition of the market as to the stock
In question any consideration that 1t might
be concluded from the incident that the
holding OF the stock Is in stronger hands
than has been the case and that there Is
In consequence a falling of in the amount
Of the floating stock now on the market.
Capital Traction stock has also attracted
attention mainly because of the effort to
clear the market Of any that might be
there at and below LAG. AS that was done
by broker who Is supposed to be In a
position to know OF the plans Of the COM
pany 1t has led to some talk about how
the company proposes to finance its ex-
tensions past and to come.
The general idea Is that the company
means to issue bonds and give the stock
holders the privilege of subscribing at par.
AS the securities will command premium.
1t is supposed, the privilege will be in the
nature of an extra dividend. It Is also
surmised that possibly some portion of the
proceeds of the bonds will be used to pro-
vide a cash dividend and in that way re-
turn to the stockholders the money taken
from the earnings OF the company to make
the various extensions of the past few
years
Exactly what the extra dividend will
amount to, including both the premium on
the bond and the cash dividend. has not
been figured out in the gossip of the street,
but 1t is not believed generally that 1t will
reach such proportions as would be repro
scented by an advance of anything Ike
twenty points over the present market
price.

Financial News L etter

NEW YORK, November 24.-Two weeks
ago we had 20 per cent call money In wall
street and the wise, conservative bankers
were telling us that we never could have
a bull market going on with such tight
money But, said the bankers. there Is
more money, in the United States treasury,
and Secretary Shaw can very easily relieve
the stringeney over the end of the year by
releasing some of the treasury hoard and
SO establishing a basis for a large amount
of new credit. Secretary Shaw came over
from Washington, talked with some of the
banking people, went back to Washington
and then when all Wall street was waiting
to hear of the immediate release of govern
ment funds Secretary Shaw came out fiat
footed and said that money was really only
tight in Wall street and there was no great
demand for financial relief throughout the
country. The Secretary announced very
firmly that he refused to take any further
measures to relieve Wall street stringency
unless the situation became very much
worse The Secretary's remarks in private
to his callers were put in much stronger
language. He was not going to be made
a. fool Of by Wall street, and the follow
ing business day call money in Wall street
suddenly dropped % per cent to a normal
figure.

trusts and Industrial combinations have
not hurt values. Wall street saw the
Northern Securities Company torn to
shreds without taking dollar away from
the earnings of the three railroads In
cluded in that combination. Wall street
has repeatedly seen the Standard Oil Com
pany brought into court and operated upon
while the Oil trust has gone on paying
from $30.O00.0O0 to $50.o00.000 a year in
dividends Wall street has seen the sugar
trust turned upside down with no visible
effect on the earnings of the refineries, but
never before has the government UNDER
