NARRoWNEss OF MARKET SHOWN IN SMALL NUMBER OF FAV-
 oRITES TRADED IN
UNION PACIFIC SCARS TO SKI
COPPER HAS GOOD DAY BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD-GRAINS
 ON ToBOGGAN

NEW YORK, July 2l.-The general tone of the stock market is dominated as yet by the action of one or two of the favorite speculative stocks. The favorte since the end of last week has been Union Pacific. Today United States Steel reasserted its earlier domi. nant influence, but this time on the side of reaction.
 The congestion of dealings in few stocks is evidence of the narrowness of the market. Union Pacific rose as high as 199lb in the first hour, establishing a new high record and giving hopes 10 those who have predicted that the price will touch double par.
 The adverse effect of selling Unit cd States Steel proved too much for Union Pacific and it shared in the later weakness of the general market.
 The storm reported from the Texas coast had some depressing effect on Southern Pacific and was growing in fiuence on the whole market.
 Bonds irregular. Total sales, $4,096,- 900. United States bonds unchanged.

WHEAT WEAKER

CHICAGO, July 2l.-Wheat was weak all day and at the low point prices were from lA to 2Is below the best figures of the session. The feature of trading was the unloading of large line by prominent bull, whose sales, together with those of his immediate followers were estimated at very large figure. The low point of July for the day was 1l52. September at the same time sold off to l0S%.
 The close was exceedingly heavy with July 1l5as to F and September loS%.
 The buying of a large line of the September delivery by prominent shorts held the corn market strong the great CT part of the day, but the market fin ally yielded to the severe slump in wheat and closed at net declines of & to @ to si cents compared with the final figures of the previous day.

When six months old the little daugh- ter of E. N Dewey, a well known mer- chant of Agnesville, Va, had an attack of cholera infantum. Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy was given and effected a complete cure. This remedy has proven very successful in cases of bowel complaint in children and when given according to the plain printed directions can be relied upon with perfect confidence. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take, which is of great importance when a medicine must be given to young children. For sale by all drug gists.

TERRORS OF THE
SALT, SALT SEAS

A Washington exchange says:
Travellers returning from the four
winds were discussing the terrors of
the sea over the bumpers and bowls
at the National Press Club. The VIC
ious choppiness of the British Chan
mel, the ice-tipped waves of the North
Atlantic, the non-Pacifc typhoons of
the Pacific. the monsoons of the IN
dian ocean. and the hurricanes of the
caribbean set were subjects for
thrilling tales of salt-soused adven-
ture. Then up spake Louis Brown
low. the newest and youngest emu
lator of Cook and Magellan, after this
fashion:
Last March ] enjoyed a fourteen
day trip from Port Said to Colombo
in the North German Lloyd ship
Zietan. 1t was perfect weather when
he left the Arabian port of Alden and
set out over the treacherous waters
OF the Indian ocean. That night, ac-
cording to custom. the deck steward
served lemonade at 10 O'Clock. ! was
standing at the rail in conversation
with a young lady. We drank lemon
ade and sat the glasses on the rail
the ordinary narrow rail. not more
than five inches in width. Next morn
ing | found the glasses still there.
The passengers persuaded the OIL
GERS to direct the crew TO leave them
where they were. For seven DAYS
those two tumblers remained on that
rail while the nip ploughed through
CLASSY sea and the wind merely a
gentle zephyr. The ship was as steady
as cathedral"
There were no more stories of the
,errors OF the deep.

RUuD ROADS IN MERCER.

The proposition of bonding the
county for the purpose of construct
ing macadamized roads from Bluefeld
to Princeton, from Princeton to Ath-
ems. and from Bramwell to Princeton
should meet with the hearty approval
Of the tax payers of the county un-
der proper conditions. 1t is estimated
that it will require an issue of $780,
600 to properly construct these high
ways. It has been suggested that
should the county court submit this
question to a vote of the people that
the order should provide for the ex.
penditure of this money by a bi-par-
tisan committee, naming each mem
Der thereof. This committee should

pie of the county have absolute con.

expenditure of a pro rata share OF
this money in each of the several
districts as eacn district will be COM
PEELED to contribute it's pro rata pore

bond issue.
1t is necessary to issue bonds to
construct adequate roads over the
rounty. The road levy will be INSULT
eient to do tbs for years to come.
TO have the principal thorough
fares of the county converted into
macadamed roads would be a long
step in the direction of progress for
this county. The assessed value Of
Inc property of this county is above
$30,O0O.OOO. The burden of paying
interest on a bond issue OF $4,000
you'd fall very lightly upon the
property owners. The increased values
Of property which would accrue from
the improvements Of the main thor
