ganizing the creamery, taking the
stock to build the plant. There is no
water in the stock and they are built
for the purpose of getting all the profit
there is in the business.
Wisconsin's Experience.
The Wisconsin railroad commission
went quite deeply into this matter In
Wisconsin there are many small
crealneries of the cooperative type,
Just as there are in Iowa. The suit
now pending before the interstate COM
merce commission and to be further
heard on Sept. {, was started by the
big plants against the railroads to
compel the railroads to give a lower
rate The small creameries of Wis
consin entered the suit as intervenors
and introduced witnesses to help out
the railroads and keep the rates high.
What the Wisconsin commission which
went deeply into the problem has to
say, therefore. Is of interest in lowe
where the butter and creamery Ques
ton is every day becoming me :
important one to the farmers
The Wisconsin commission an
other things says: "It would seem lt
the central plants are in a sit g IN
that it is almost necessary s e1r
existence to obtain a more = less
complete control of at least nsid-
cradle portion of the variou =. arkets
for cream" And further: The weight
of the testimony as we'll as the fact
bearing upon the situation, thus ap-
pears to support the contention that
the central plants are doing what they
lie a1ir N a tinn of cOIllDp
tition. and that in the long run it is to
practices that they appear to have
adopted towards this end SAVIOR very
strongly of the methods which are
usually attributed to capitalistic mon
opolies under similar conditions. That
many of them are often inimical to the
best interests of the community as a
whole, there can be little doubt"
The commission says further: There
are instances where the difference (1n
price) ranges as widely as to Z
cents, owing to the high prices paid
by central companies seeking to de-
stroy local concerns. These higher
prices invariably discontinue after the
local plants are eliminated"
There Is another phase to this ques-
ton. the question of the relative rates
on butter and cream. The small con-
Germ must of necessity have low rate
on butter, the big plant must have a
low rate on butter and cream. Both
are shippers of butter; only one ships
cream. But the butter of course traV-
els at freight rates on freight trains,
while the cream must travel at freight
ratas on nassenger trains.

HANDICAP DERBY
Novel Race Scheduled, With thirty.
eight Starters - Preliminary Hsats
Necessary-Track Conditions ideal.

p
Readville, Mass, Aug. 25.-Early con-
ditions for the great American trotting
derby, for $4,000, were ideal today. It
was decided that the final entry list OF
thirty-eight horses was too large to
start off in one grand dash, so the
bunch was split up. Two preliminary
heats were arranged with the first
eight horses in each qualifying for
the final.
The conditions for the race were
unique in the history of the American
turf. The contest provided for q
handicap dash race, open to all trot-
ters with marks of 2:15 or better. the
slowest horses being placed a quarter
of q mile behind the wire and the
others Handicapped to the rear accord
ing to their past performances. The
purse OF $4,000 was split up, $4,000
going to the winner; 10000 to the
second; $4,000 to the third; $500 to
the fourth; $500 to the fifth, and
$1,000 to the sixth.
The two scratch horses, or those ret
farthest back in the field, were Son
oma Girl and Sweet Marie. Conditions
for the start Of the race were unusual,
the horses all being placed in fixed
position and required to remain there
practically at a standstill until the
field was sent away. At each mark
was placed Judge who was in direct
communication by means OF . wire
and push button with the principal
starter in the middle Of the track, and
it was arranged that as soon as each
Judge found his horse on the mark and
ready to start he should push the butt
ton. When the principal starter found
all signals had been dropped, the ar
rangements called for his ringing bell
for the start.

Large Brokerage Firm With,
Extensive Dealings on New
York Board Quits
AFFAIRS ARE BADLY MuppLED
Manipulation Of Stock Market on sat-
urday Was Attributable to Firms
Dealings = Sold Short on Stocks -
General Market Not Violently Af-S
fected by Failure.

New York, Aug. 25.-A. o. Brown Il
Co., one Of the largest brokerage
houses of the city, announced it's sus-
pension on the stock exchange this
afternoon. The transactions Of the firmJ
in the remarkable stock market Of last
Saturday have been under investiga-
tion by authorities Of the stock ex-
change, and today it was announced
that the transactions had been made for
the firms account under the rule which
provides that where firm is unable
to deliver the stock sold to another
broker, a. purchaser may buy in the
stock at the expense of the firm failing
to make the delivery.
At the height Of the boom in the
markets several years ago the Brown
company did an enormous business
said to have been larger than any 9th
er brokerage house at the time. There
were five branch offices in this city
and many others thruout the country.
The firm was organized in 1902. The
members are A. o. Brown, g. Leo
Stout, E. +. Buchanan, Samuel c.
Brown and w. Rhea Whitman. A rep-s
resentative of the firm said: "The al
fairs of the firm are badly tangled and
it was felt necessary to suspend In Or
der to straighten them out"
D. w. Noel has been named as ass
signee. No statement Of assets and
liabilities Is yet available, but 1t i3l
presumed the figures will be very large.
The effect of the suspension upon the
stock market was not SO violent az
anticipated by those who know how
large an amount Of stocks the Brown
company owed to other firms. Tho
volume Of trading increased rapidly,
but prices vacillated, and there was nO
general movement in either direction
At 2 o'clock. the market was quiet.
Firm Sells Short.
"A member of the firm said the fall
ure was not serious one, and the
firm hoped to pay a hundred cents on
the dollar, and resume operations be-
fore long. He said that of the enorm-
Gus business done Saturday, delivery
was made yesterday Of 277,000 shares.
No deliveries were made today, leav-
ing a total of between 100000 and
soc, 900 shares undelivered.
at is believed the liabilities Will
amount to several million dollars.
E. E. Buchanan, a member of the
firm, denied that heavy operations on
the exchange Saturday were for the
account of Thomas w. Lawson. OF
Boston.

BACK IN URUGUAY

supper and turn In for the night on
a pile of half-cnred hides.
AS far as surprising any really wild
life is concerned, you will come eight
or ten years too late, for the days
when the Uruguayan Indians ran
down avestruz (South American os-
triches) and broke their legs with the
bolas and when bands of itinerant
gauchos ranged through the land and
roped and killed the half-wild cattle
for their hides and horns alone are
gone never to return. The run" and
the "drop-gate' are rapidly replacing
the bruising method Of roping and
throwing in the handling of cattle,
while hides and horns are supplied
almost entirely through the regular
channels of the slaughter houses OF
the freezers and meat extract works.
The old "criolla' cattle, too, through
the constant crossing with imported
t, stock, are fast pressing, and stocky,
heavy bodied, shortlegged Durhams
and Aberdeen Angus are now placidly
grazing in the hill and river meadows
once ranged over by the gaunt bone
racks that the last two decadesr have
seen stripped for the extract factories.
The Uruguayan stage driver uses
horses in much the same way that
some people use whisky. II one four
doesn't seem to produce the effect he
desires he adds another four. and
then four more. and so on indefinitely.
This tendency of the Uruguayans to
use many horses has a decided bear
ing on a line of trade that is of i'm
portance to the United States-that
of agricultural machinery. Thus
American harvesters, class of ma
chine that is rarely used beyond the
limits of a single "estancia," have
the market practically to themselves

FOX IN STREETS OF CITY.
Marketmen Take Up chase-Refuge
on House Tops.

During a recent run of the Essex
and Suffolk foxhounds the good people
of Wivenhoe had the novel experience
of seeing their town invaded by
hounds and huntsmen and OF looking
on at the death of reynard in one OF
their streets.
It is not long since the New Cut was
the scene of an even more startling In
cident, when full-grown fox suddenly
appeared trotting along the middle OF
the street when marketing was at It's
busiest. To a man every coster de-
serted his barrow and with cries OK
"Tally-ho!" joined IN the chase. Dash
ing toward Blackfriars. road the fox
soon doubled, and darting under q
fruiterers barrow sought refuge In
wheelwright's yard, where he was
found firmly wedged in the spokes OF
a cartwheel and carried off in tri-
umph by a secondhand furniture
| dealer.
A fox was recently chased by the
Belvoir hounds into Aslackby village
and went to ground In the churchyard;
| another sought refuge on the house
tops in Hullavington village and was
dislodged by means of ladder, while
still another was killed in the dining
room Of Gayhurst house, the residence
