Selma, July 2S -(SpeciaD- The awarding of the prizes which have been contested for by the companies of the Second Regiment took place this afternoon during the dress parade.
 Previous to the awarding of these prizes several exhibition drills were given by different companies. These drills were witnessed by a larger crowd than there has been present on the parade grounds during any previous evening of the week.

either as cause or an effect of the stirring of speculative activity.
 Opinion over the investment outlook Is still maintained and it Is conflicting factors in this field that account for uneven and irregular movements in the securities market. Activity there has been concentrated in the Hartman n Pacifics, owing to the special develop ments in that group.
 The course of procedure of the au- thorities of these companies has SO far departed from precedent as to throw speculative sentiment into quandary as to what program of market opera lions is in prospect. The approach or the dividend period for Southern Paci- fic and Union Pacific gave rise to the usual active speculation and to tne usua1 variety of rumors as to what the dividend action would be. Skilful opera tors in the market made use or iast years experience to suggest the axe iihood that mystery would De iuaan tained as to the intended divloen1 ois tributions for some tlhe 'o oo s- by possible action. ,.,,,.
 is now known that the executive committee of the companies last year had decided the dividend questioh tbe meeting the formal deciarauon oi the dividends being made by the oLiee tors on August 15, but wltnheiu t'o nublic announcement until Ausust
 The sensational activity "nich oroAo out in the stock market when 1t was announced that dividends on Southern Pacific had been inaugurated at the rate of per cent and the Union Pa cifc dividend had been advanced from 6 to 10 per cent. is well remembered
 It has been the conviction of the present speculative operators that they were following an organized movement based on some such propos- ed sequence of events as last year. Conviction on this point was shaken in speculative circles by the explicit ayowal of the head of the Hartman system that the Southern Pacific div idend would in no event exceed the 6 per cent. rate while practically admit ting the intention to realize the div idend from the present per cent.
 What the stock market enjoyed of reviving influence beyond this was largely due to the easing of the money market from the usual reflux of funds into bank reserves following that of the yearly disbursements. The effect of this on the substantial investment demand has been moderate. The bond market has remained apathetic and nrices have shown no marked improve ment.
 The easing tendency of the local money market was not prevented by some heavy syndicate payments flor in- staIlments due on Union Pacific and Atkinson convertible bonds and Amer ican Telephone stock. The recurrence of obligations of this kind on sub- scriptions already made is characteris- tic of the present investment situa- | tion and there is a vista of such pay ments to be made at intervals for many months in the future. Capital is thus already bespoken as it may accumu- late.

wooden railroad tie and the steel tie f, abandoned.
 A good many freak" tnventions hav< been tried without success such as att tended even the steel tie, with the rss sait that the railroads now seem absot iuteiy welded to the wooden producl by force of circumstances. Efforts arI no" being made to prolong the life of cue wooden tie with some considerable success. ana the railroads are lookinS 10 the future for an inexhaustibIe ann. piy or wood to meet their demands.
 Formerly white oak had the call aI a wood for railroad ties. If now s,,a. piles only half the demand. where il formerly supplied all The rapid exs tension or the railroads calls for mora amaD.i o,,noer every year. and 1t seems only a question or time when white oak will supply less than half the demand liz chief claim to utility lies in its resist. ance to decay and its ability to hold thS spikes. Although at a high price now. It stili remains the most economical for railroad men.
 Wide use and excessive ur... cutting has brought the raiIroads ta the point where they are compeJIed tc accept comparatively inferior ties.
 Ihasmuch as railroad ties have mass over them every year thousands o} trains carrying hundreds of thousands or passengers the seriousness of the situation becomes apparent To the railroads it means an additional out. !as Tor new ties about twice as oft sn as hitherto in addition to the double work entailed in laying them and ths maintenance of an adequate inspection service at all times to which the con. ditions of the ties already down. As substitute for white oak yellow pine has proved the best. and one fifth of the ties bought last year wefe of this material. Cedar. cypress, red wood. tamarack. hemlock and Western yellow pine, until recently seldom used Tor ties, are now coming into general use in those sections of the country where those respective woods abound.
 TO meet the emergency several ex- perimehts are being made In .ha first place the tie-makers are cutting the woods more closely than ever be- fore, for the best grades and even tha tops of trees, formerly abandoned to the elements. are now being trimmed into railroad ties. So fine is the line
 being drawn by them that they ara even saving instead of cutting down their trees to save the waste of tho ax-cut tree.
 Chemicals are being applied to ths ties by the railroads. and, in some in. stances, they have been able to pro. long the life of inferior ties several years and in rare cases to twenty | years. Inferior woods seem to take | this treatment better than others. | The most permanent policy adopted | by the railroads. however. is that of | the actual purchase of forests and their | scientific care. In this the Bureau of | Forestry has taken the lead in setting | forth the advantages of such a plan | and the railroads are needing its ad- l vice.
 They have even gone into the tree- planting business for themselves, and
 during tho past year have set out | thousands of trees. It is predicted
 when the full significance of the policy | grows on the railroads there will b$

 Washington Correspondence Chicago
 Daily News
 Shortage in railroad ties Is becoming a serious problem to the railroads of the United States. Only recently the Forestry Bureau of the Department of Agriculture predicted a lumber famine in the country in seventy-five years if the present consumption of lumber was maintained under present conditions or preservation of forests and manufac- ture of output. When it is realized that the railroads used last year 103,- 000.000 railroad ties. averaging about thirty board feet each, and that this number of ties aggregates more than 5000, ,000, 900 board feet, or one-tweifth of the sawn lumber produced in the en- tire country in one year. the problem can be better understood.
 That such a shortage has been fore- seen by the railroads Is manifested by their almost frantic efforts in the past to find a substitute for wood from which to make railroad ties. A few years ago a steel tie was invented which it was predicted would produce a revolution in the business. A seri- ous accident on the Pennsylvanla Haii- road during the past winter. which was ascribed to the use of steel ties on curved track, resulted in their dis ] placement and a return to the ole

THE STOCK MARKET


 New York. July 27.-The slusgishnsss of the Hartman Pacifics which has been in evidence ever since the dividend rate on Southern Pacific was made definitely known was continued restraint on the market today. Prices fluctnated unevenly over . narrow range and trading at times was nearly idle. The complexion of the bank statement was not liked. the growth in de- posits through the heavy surplus from the gain in cash which was nearly as large anticipated.
 Bank clearinss for the week show an ex- mansion over last year and 1t Is significant that while New York clearings for five days are $70.000. 900 less than last year. those for all cities outside the seven leading re serve centers are >65,000,000 greater than last year. thus reflecting the widespreaao a distribution of the activity. The week expansion of New York bank loans Is at tributed to a transfer of loans from uus' companies to banks. induced by the unprot- itable rates of money on call. |, There was some recovery in the Ere Is- sues from the recent weakness. Frmhess in United States Steel was attributed 10 eA- pectation of . very favorable report for tne July quarter to be published next week. cot ton carriers and industrials showed some special strength. Changes at the end or ths day were small and the tone irregular: Total sales of bonds par value were $SSe' 900.

 New Orleans, July 27.-The expiration of another week finds the undertone of the market to be very steady notwithstanding. be very dull Compared with the closing level of last Saturday there has been no appreciable change in values, October clos ing at 12. 09-1O today vs. 12. O. this day one week ago The weather has been the sus- tainins feature of late hot wave having covered the entire southern country since been predicting showers for the drought sections of tho wstern half of the belt. no rain of consequence has materialized. in fact Texas has had little rain. Arkan- sas and Oklahoma none at all, and very lit- tie has fallen in the Mississippi valley. the only section receiving temporary relief be- of Alabama Temperatures were much above normal in all districts of the belt. especially in the valley and in Texas the imum of e7 degrees for the period of, the a2nd to the 26th of July. which is higher by three degrees for the past ten years and higher by ten deErees than in the big crop year of 1904.
 The easier opening of the market today was due to local showers in Tennessee. Ala bama, and in sections of the eastern belt. and to probabilities of cooler weather and showers throughout the belt over Sunday. It is probable that the more favorable Chronicle weather and crop report for the week. which was inconsistent with the off cial record. and the off-week for spinners' takinss. which were only 1os.ooo vs 15s.ooo last year, were instrumental in affecting the market unfavorably. During the past week sales of spot cotton at Liverpool were large for this time of year. 3e,o00 American vs. 23, 900 one year ago. and private cables of today reported spinners calling for cotton. which accounts for the English market hav- ing closed firm at expected decline of one and one-hak points. The August Blu reau crop condition report is hanging over the market and has checked speculative buying. The New York Journal of Commerce published good accounts on progress of crop in Mississippi and Tennessee. but the plant is small, in Mississippi. three to four weeks late and it is said by The Journal that the weevl has appeared in Tennessee Dr. L. Hunter. the United States Entomologist has made a very alarming statement the weevil in the Southwest. The substance of which shows following conditions at close of
