others will scrap it out for the

undecided. Behind the bat there

the inactive railroads and industrtalS

Southwestern opened off points.
The stock market lacked sufficient re-
silency to throw off the effect of depres-
sion in the foreign market which caused
a break at the opening here and prices
remained below Fridays close through
out the morning. Trading was on com
paratively small scale. The crisis in the
stock proceedings on western roads de-
tered traders from renewing bullish oper-
ationS and in the absence of definite de-
velopment the bear party was unusually
slow to act.
Following the partial recovery after the
opening, the tone of the market became
heavy again when selling orders were ex-
ecuted in Atchison, Reading and Lehigh
Valley, which sold point below Fri
days closing. Little pressure was exert
ed against the general market and the
whole list rose vigorously before mid
day. Bonds were steady.

assembly. The scheme. which was
merely in the nature of a suggestion,
was to move the Chattanooga & At
lanta terminal of the road rent the
valuable land they now occupy and use
the money thus realized in building
the road to the Atlantic coast.
The Western & Atlantic is owned by
the state of Georgia, and is under lease
to the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.

and the legislature is after a plan to
handle the property to the best public
interest. The road is 1877 miles long

headed by Representative Hooper

The fact that the amount of wheat on

however, tended to maintain a strong un-

that the farmers must Immediately
change their bushes methods and as
sist one another or they will soon be

pointed out that the farmers are los

value of their holdings while the
trusts, on the other hand are gaining
q like sum.
United States Senator T. P Gore,
who followed Brooks, took up the
cudgel for cooperation and his
speech was confined mostly to ampi-
flying the statements of Brooks.

TELEPHONE on GRAND TRUNK.
Old Morse Telegraph System Replaced
on Big system.

Montreal, Que, Sept. 5.-The tele-
phone is to replace the old Morse tele-
graph system on the lines of the Grand
Trunk railway for train dispatching,
according to an announcement by w.
w Ashald, superintendent of te1e-
graph. The Grand Trunk is the latest
big system to adopt the new method
of transmitting train orders and re
ports, which has spread over thOus-
ands of miles of railroad during the
last three years. Great impetus to the
movement was given by the American
Railway association in 1908, when it
recommended the substitution of the
telephone.
Railroad men declare the telephone
method of giving train orders is far
superior to the dot and dash system,
as it saves time. gives the dispatcher
the use of both hands, and permits his
calling any station on the line by
means of his ''selector'' apparatus
without disturbing any other station.
The Grand Trunk has had two tele-
phone circuits in use for eighteen
months.
