ARE FIRM
 IN GRAIN MARKET
Strength in Cash Wheat Reflected in Futures
 Advances

Chicago August 17.-The grain markets were quiet and firm today. the close be- ins from ssc to 1s9ssc. Provisions closed 5c up. Trade in all pits was slow.
 Strength in the cash wheat market, based on decreased receipts and foreign demand, was reflected in the futures by advances all along the line. Minneapolis, which ruled strong all day, thus giving color to reports of disappointing yields in the northwest, was an influence, es- pecialfy as many 'speculators believed a reaction was due after the recent con- tinuous decline. Receipts at Minneapolis are increasing, but the quality is said to be below par Canadian reports were rosy. one expert stating that, harvesting was in full blast in Manitoba. and reit- erating that there had been little dam age from black rust. A constantly in- oreasing quantity of wheat in western Canada is escaping unscathed daily.
 Cash discounts on September are dis- appearing rapidly, the trading going into December and May options. Five loads were reported for export, but there was growing apprehension as to the effect of thO i<i6iisii Stilho OH fAf1cflCdu STdln markets September sold between 90lh0 9o14c and s9M@s9hc, closing close to the top.
 The close in the corn pit found prices at the top for the day. While there was considerable display of strength, the vol ume of business transacted was small. although there was a report that one of the larger speculators was. picking up a line of December or May. Arrivals from the interior continued liberal. and the de- mand in the southwest where markets were weak. was said to be insufficient to prevent accumulations. The cash demand here was slim. September sold between 647s@65c and 641ac. and closed at the top.
 Oats displayed more strength than any other market on the floor, owing to light receipts and rains. which are putting an increasing proportion outside contract grade. Cash oats in the sample market were AGahe higher. September sold be- tween 42c and 4Nssc, closing at the best price.
 The provisions pit was deserted most of the day. but prices held steady in sym- pathy with corn. January pork closed 5c over yesterday at 1s.9Oc. September lard, PEG higher at sS. .s5, and September ribs, Sc up at $9.o71a

TEXAS FAVORS ROAD
 BUILDING BY FALL
Roads Were Once Built by Private Corporations, and Later Main.
 tained by State

San Antonio August Especial )- Since the good roads agitation has be- come so general in Texas many plans for building highways have been sug- gested. Many counties have voted large sums in bonds for road purposes. Some citizens who have given much thought to the matter believe that the best method Is that adopted years ago in some of the older states, and there Is considerable talk about having the laws of the state so amended that private corporations may build highways and es ta blish toll system.
 In advocacy of this plan, attention is called to the splendid roads In num- Der of the eastern and north southern states. particularly Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. It is maintained that 1t was the toll road system that gave those states so many fine roads. It is pointed out that the famous Louisville, Lexing- ton and Nicholisville turnpike, and the historic Bardstown road in Kentucky were built and maintained for years as toll roads. Stretches of the Old Ma tional road are referred to as an ex- ample of what the toll system did for highway building in the early days. Many of the best sections of this great highway were let out to private conl- panies which maintained the toll sys- tenn.
 It is also noted by those who advo- cate the toll system that after time when it became clear that the toll roads could be maintained cheaper by taxation than under the old toll sys tenn. these roads were bought by the states and made free roads. But the fact remains that 1t was the old toll system that gave the best early-day highways.
 Attention is also called to the fact that the modern road builders are inn proving those famous old roads by add ing oil to them and thus eliminating the dust nuisance which has from the | very beginning made travelling over the smooth surface of these old toll roads | more or less unpleasant at all times. | It may transpire that an effort will be | made to have the legislature in the | near future make it possible for private | to build and maintain toll | roads in Texas. A resolution presented | in Congress some days ago providing | for a series of national roads radiatng | from Washington, D. C., to be main- | tained by the toll system has strength | ened the toll road notion in this state.

FRESH EGGS ARE
 HARD ID OBTAIN Demand for WatermelOns and Cantaloupes Re-
 mains Steady

Thursday was quiet day with the ma Jroity of the merchants Of Morris ave- rue. The poultry dealers experienced good trade, much better than that of V ednesday. but the supply is small and receipts were of very little importance. The markets are almost bare on fresh eggs. It is probable that the merchants will lay in a supply of cold storage stock. ss they are finding great difficulty In se- curing shipments sufficient to satisfy the local trade.
 The demand for watermelons and can- taioupes remains steady. Farmers neigh. boring the city are keeping the trade pretty well supplied, therefore the pro- duce dealers are not buying much stock.
 California fruit is being shipped in steadily. Yesterdays arrivals consisted of pears, grapes and plums. and a small lot of peaches The fruit is finding an easy market at fancy prices.
