TEXAS CAPITAL PLACED
IN NEW RAILROAD PROJECT

Austin, Tex, July 25.-It is con-
servatively estimated that there are
more than $500 900, 600 in cash on de-
osit in the national, state and private
banks of Texas. Most of this money
is seeking investment. 1t is proposed
that a portion of it shall be used for
the construction of new railroads in
this state. phe plan is being tried in
two setions of Texas. In the Panhan-
die region a railroad called the Pan
handle Short line is being built from
Hereford to San Angelo, $50 miles.
The promoters of this enterprise, in
stead of attempting to finance the
road in New York or other money
centers. went among the people of the
section through which the road was to
pass. II is announced that they have
already sold bonds to local citizens suf-
ficent to pay for building a good part
of the line. Confidence is expressed
that the remainder of the bonds neces.
sary to build all of the road will be
sold to Texas people. In the north
eastern part of Texas a similar project
Is on foot. A corporation which is
called the Peoples Railroad company
has been organized for the purpose of
building a railroad from Tyler, Tex,
to Canton, distance of thirty-five
miles. The people of Smith and Van
Zandt counties, through which the road
will pass, have raised $3.50, 900 in cash
by means of personal subscription for
use In building the road. In this in
stance no bonds will be issued. Each
subscriber to the building fund is CIV
en- capital stock In the company, ac.
cording to the amount OF his sub
scription.
In addition to these two projects,
the state of Texas itself is building a
railroad thirty-five miles long to con
meet the state penitentiary at Rusk
with the international and Great
Northern railroad at Palestine and
with the Texas and New Orleans rail-
road at point six miles east OF Rusk
The legislature appropriated $150,OOI
to build this extension.

SHEEP-There were six fresh cars re-
ported in today, but they were mostly di-
rect to packers OF consigned to eastern
points, so that there was nothing Cf con-
sequence on sale. The receipts for the week
show a considerable gain over the previous
week and over a year ago
Under the influence of large receipts both
here and at other selling points, the mar
ket has reacted sharply. The decline at
this market amounted generally to l5d25c
up to Thursday. On Friday the receipts
were light and buyers bought the few loads
on sale at a little stronger prices, so that
the feeling at the close Of the week is quite
good and operators on the market are an
tictpating good prices for desirable killers
next week. Still at the close OF the week
the market is generally 15d25c lower, I'M
less IL might be on the very best grades,
which are perhaps not that much of.
Next week will be the last of Lent, after
which there ought to be a better demand
and a good firm market in consequence.
The fact is sheepmen are feeling very hope
full as to the future OF the market. and
while occasional reactions are to be ex-
pected as a matter of course, everyone is
looking forward to the maintenance OF
good, strong prices throughout the balance
Of the season.
