Two of the largest financial institu-
tons Of the state the City National
and the Galveston National banks,
have consolidated, the name of the
new institution being the City Ma
tional Bank of Galveston. The CONSOLE
dation gives the two banks assets of
about 100000 dollars. William l..
Moody, Jr., Is president of the new
bank, F. G. Pettibone Is vice president
and T. Hanson is cashier. The Texas
banks are the heart of our financial
system and are a necessary and pow

Bad roads tend to isolate rural con-
ditions. They render it more difficult
to pass about, impede travel, restrict
intercourse. interfere with school at.
tendance and church going, promote
illiteracy, and are in many other ways
a hindrance 10 progress.
The federal census reports show
that SO per cent of the Texas farmers
are white and II per cent negro or
non-white. In 1900 the color line stood
81 per cent white and 10 per cent ne
gro. The farms operated by white
farmers increased 59,911 during the
past decade, and the number of farms
OF negroes and non-white 4276. The
white farmers operate 365,565 farms
and the negro farmers 69,S12 farms.
Good roads bring about better con-
ditions of country life. Not only do
they lessen the expense of marketing
the crop, but they make country life
less irksome. They bring the farm
and the town nearer together. Meas
ured by travel, the town may be two
hours distant on bad road and only
one hour distant on a good road, and
in carrying load to market the
farmer may make one or two trips,

The Scotchman scratched his head

KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. IA
Cattle prices spread out more last
week than any week before this sum-
mer, the best cattle selling strong to
25c higher middle and lower grades
15@30c lower. Some of the thin light
weight quarantine cattle were pun
ing one of the few opportunities that
have come to them this summer to
bear down prices. Nobody believes
the depression will stick because ev-
erybody thinks cattle supplies this fall
are going to be slim all around. At
Chicago last week 5000 range cattle
from the Northwest arrived, while a
year ago the same week $4,000 came
in and two years ago $4,000 We're re-
ceived. Today there Is turn for the
better here, market strong to 1Oc
higher on all kinds, the rise extending
to the lower grades, which were ham,
mered last week. The run here is A.
600 head, including 100 carloads OF
quarantine cattle. A string of twenty
six cars of Texas steers sold here to-
day at $3.50, and fair to good Okla
homa steers brought $4.75@5.50, a few
down to $500. Dry lot steers are &C
cumulating value rapidly, top natives
here today at 1855, best heifers quota
BILE up to 1925. These are alluring
prices to feeders who are taking out
desirable feeding steers at S5.OO@5.9O.
Improving crop prospects encourage
the buying of stock steers, which sell
at $3.75M5. 25. Grass steers from ma
tive territory reached S6.75 today,
bulk at $525@6.35. A shipment of
Wyoming grass cattle is here today,
embracing horned beef steers, 1860 TO
1900 pounds, at $5.00@5.40, grass cows
at $4.25@4.S5, and few grass year.
lings, $50 pounds, at the big price OF
$625. Calves remain steady, best
$500.
The smallest hog supply of the year
came in last week, yet buyers had the
temerity to try to depress prices. No
body expected such a spectacular rise
as has been witnessed in the hog mar
ket in the last month, and it doesn't
set well with the packers. The big
fight they put up last week prevented
any advance, and it even paved the
way for a decline, which went into
effect today, 5@10c. The run today is
only 1000 here, top $3.50, bulk $1,000
7.45. The cause of the scarcity of hogs
now is said to be because too many
light hogs were shipped to market in
May and June.
Sheep and lambs took on new life
the middle of last week, and the close
of the week showed gain of 25@4Oc.
Run is 10000 today, market strong.
The first decent Utah lambs of the
season arrived late last week and sold
at $715@7.25. Eastern Colorado al
falfa fed lambs, GO pounds, sold at
Sis today, and ewes in the same
shipment brought $685.. Arizona lambs
bring up to $500, natives about the
same price. There is a growing de-
mand for feeding and breeding stock,
and some feeding wethers have
hands at $685., breeding ewes
up to 1855, in the last week.

1t is difficult to see one of the new
skirts that is not trimmed in some
fashion or other, no matter how simple
the decoration. Because lace is to be
so popular the lace braids are in great
vogue and they make splendid addl-
ton to anotherwise plain material In
connection with the talk about frllls
and founces, it may as well be eX-
planned in the beginning that the term
is elastic 1t embraces everything
from the ruching of half-inch wide
Valenciennes to the knee-deep flounce
and the former, by the way, are set
onto the new frocks in festoons or
scallops rather than in straight lines.
Perhaps no lace has profited as
much as Chantilly in the lace revival,
for in both black and white1t has had
a pronounced vogue, and it Is going to
be used in great quantities in the
early fall, and perhaps during the win
ter, lust as il has been during the sum-
mer. In connection with white satin
and chiffon, black Chantilly is extreme
ly effective and combinations of this
kind are among the most liked in
Paris.
