THE PATHFINDERS

Loretta. Tenn, August 1l.-tspecial)-
After three days of the hardest rains
ever seen In this section of Tennessee,
and especially near Lawrenceburg, the
red clay road became practically impass-
able. for traffic, but the pathfinders In
the Flanders Electric coupe came through
and excited the countrymen as nothing
else could have done.
The streams were badly swollen and mud
holes deep. The days work netted 81
miles with about as many steep hills and
a dozen deep fords. Through these fords
and through the deep sticky clay roads
the pathfinders Travelled steadily and
comfortably.
Lawrence county, in which 40 miles of
today's trip was made will spend $780,
go on roads at once and promise TO have
an excellent pike for the big tour. Some
work is already being done. The route
followed is to be known as the Jack
son highway from Nashville to New
Orleans via Memphis and Jackson, Miss.
Tomorrow the pathfinders travel in
three states, Tennessee. Alabama and
Mississippi. passing through Florence and
Sheffield to Corinth, Miss. With better
road condition promised ahead, Pathfinder
Westgardi and Photographer Spooner,
both veteran tourists, said tonight that
today was terribly hard pull, but COM
fortaoly made in the Flanders electric.

UPWARD TENDENCY
IN STOCK MARKET
Large Amounts of Securi-
ties Held by Banks
Are Sold

New York, August 1.-THE upward ten
dency of the stock market during the
week betokened a feeling of contentment
in the speculative community with the
course of affairs. The irregularity and
restraint of the upward movement, how
ever, reflected occasional garnering of
profits and caution about straining the
resources of the money market, now ex-
pected to diminish in a short time. The
question of whether commercial and in
dustrial activity may not in sense
prove detrimental rather than helpful ID
securities is inviting attention of specu-
1ators.
Since the loaned up condition of the
banks was revealed by the controllers
abstract of national bank reports 1t is
known that large amounts of securities
held by the banks have been sold. This
is especially true of short term notes of
corporations. Money markets In London
and Paris are committed extensively 20
holdings of new issues of securities.
Forced liquidation which would unsettle
securities there would necessarily affect
the New York markets.
The New York market is actuated by
the expectation that coming requirements
from the interior will make heavy de-
mands upon it. Spectators feel cores
pondingly cautious about extending them
selves in spite of the temporary ease
of call loans, attributed to the increas-
ing of funds kept available for fresh re-
quiEements
The government crop report confirmed
the confidence in the growing promise
of cereal crops, supplemented as 1t was
by favorable weather conditions since
the date of the estimates Rains in
Texas also brought cotton into the list
of helpful factors. The good prospect
of the crops was confirmed also by the
reports of the expanding mercantile de-
mand. The feature of the steel and iron
trades was the awakened activity in the
demand for pig iron, a department of
the trade hitherto laggard in way
doubtfully accounted for. Premiums were
still demanded for prompt delivery of
finished steel. The United States Steel
untitled order" report came too late to
affect the stock market, but moderate
increase had been expected.
