The Panic and the Railroads

Few people who are not directly con-
nected with the railroad interests Of
this country appreciate how seriously
they were affected by the panic at the
close of last year IL came at time
when the development OF our railroad
system, in the extent Of its mileage,
the magnitude of its rolling stock. and
the enormous extent of its freight and
passenger traffic, had reached a point
that was undreamed of a few years ago,
even by our most optimistic railroad
men. In spite of the fact. as shown by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
reports. that there were over 223. 900
miles Of line in the Country served by
nearly 1000. 900 freight cars OF 20, 900. :

SEVENTEEN SALOONS
ASK FOR LICENSE
SEVERAL or THE NUMBER WILL NOT
TAKE CARD YET
DEPENDS ON HOW THINGS TURN
n Mines Continue TO Work More Licenses
win be Asked For-Big Deficit
inlncome

The special session OF the city council
called for the purpose OF passing on
liquor bonds was held last Wednesday
night and fifteen bonds were presented
for approval. To this number must be
added the two approved at the last
regular meeting. making seventeen In
all.
A number OF bonds were presented
with the idea of having them approved
but no licenses 10 be taken out until
the principals are assured of the turn
that affairs will take in the commercial
World. II the mines start to ship their
stockpiles or II ii is assured that they
will continue 10 work as they are now
working, the principals will take their
red cards. otherwise none will be asked
for.
One potent influence in bringing
about this result is the decision OF the
brewing companies not to pay any more
licenses for retail dealers. IL is claim
cd that an iron clad agreement has been
entered into by which the big companies
band themselves together TO abrogate
the practice Of furnishing licenses for
irresponsibles with view to elevating
the standard of the saloon and thus
meeting great deal of the adverse
criticism from the temperance advo-
Gates
One OF the agents for the brewing
companies stated that the only consid-
GRAFTON upon which the brewing COM
panies will advance money on licenses
is good security.
This curtailment in the number OF
saloons will mean the diminution in
the amount OF the city's revenue to the
amount of about 81, 900. Last year the
city received from liquor taxes the sum
Of $40. 600. This year, supposing that
fifteen OF the number take out license.
the receipts will be 81. 500 TO which
must be added the small tax paid by
the brewers agents.

Earnings Show Heavy Falling OF
From Last Year

The iron market is on the qui vive.
There Is general air of expectancy in
evidence In every report from the iron
centers this week. Most people believe
that the deadlock between sellers and
buyers, which has hem the reigning
feature of the market since the first of
the year will soon be broken by drop
in the price of pig iron.

the large interests TO hold TO the estab-
lished prices and they may yet succeed

may be likewise successful in financial
operations have caused some improve
ment in the settlement in the iron
world. but actual conditions are not
better. as slight increases in some lines
are offset by decreased activity in other
products
A crisis is imminent in the pig
iron market. Owing to the. general
circulation of the report that powerful
interests are in favor of adopting a
new schedule based on $40 90 Birming-
ham, which would result in selling pig
iron In many parts OF the country al
less than cost, only such buyers as were
