AUTO HAS RAISED
PRICE OF SHOES
Large Amount of LeVhsr Used On
Cushions Has Been the
Cause

People who own automobiles can
receive with some equanity the news
that they by diyerting to the holster
ing of their cars much Of the leather
that was formerly made into shoes
have everybody pay more to keep
their fet off the ground. They can
console themselves with the know
ledge that the wear on their own foot
gear is less than it used to be and
that their shoes will last enough long
er to make up for the increased price
That consolation, however is not
for others, more numerous but not so
fortunate, who neither own nor ride
in automobiles. These. as they pay
higher prices for the shoes to which
they are accustomed or the old prices
for shoes of poorer quality, will pom
der deep the gloomy mystery why it
is that in the case of leather, as in
not a few cases nowadays, Increased
demand has not had its orthodox and
once usual effect of stimulating pro-
duction.
1t still stimulates prices in the good
old way, but we are gravely told that
the stock raisers of many places are
now passionately growing assorted
cereals, to be pulled and shredded and
faxed and otherwise bedeviled for the
lazy housewives breakfast table Per
haps that's true, but the enlarged con
sumption OF these aerial substitutes
for real food has not cheapened any
thing else on the domestic bill of fare
so again the explanation takes us no.
where except to that stolid and i'm
permoable actuality of our age, the in
creased cost of living.
About that increase there is no
doubt and, as in case of other NAL
aides, the fact that many cures afe,lofr
fered for it only shows that sthe right
one has not been found.
AS the manufacture of automobiles
increases there is no more leather s1s,
ed and the result has been an increase
in price. This increase comes harder
on the poorer classes who are com.
PEELED to walk because they cannot
afford machines. A local dealer is au,
thority for the statement athati the
price of shoes will continue ito in
crease for the same reason, this year

The fact that the money market has

TIE STOCK MARKET.

Inc trend OF prices continues to de-
pend upon financial conditions more
than all other factors combined. This
wa seXemplified by the equanimity
with which the result of the Vermont
election was accepted In fact the
Street has not yet decided what is to
be considered good or bad" news
politically. In the meantime, the mar
ket 81 fairly steady with tendency
to seek a lower level, due in a great
measure, to lack of leadership uncer-
tainty and undecided opinion among
the traders. However, the tendency
of the market can be attributed to but
one factor, viz; the rates for money;
and because the demand for money
bids fair to continue throughout Sep
TENDER it seems highly probable that
prices will work lower The market
has already discounted the splendid
agricultural prospects There is no
apparent source from which favorable
stock market news might emanate.
THE OUTLOOK FOR RAILROAD
SHARES.
A summary Of the net earnings of
the railroads of the United States for
the fiscal year ending June 30, shows
a material decrease in net earnings.
Many causes throughout the past year
contributed to this condition. The
most important factor was the in
crease in employees wages which ex-
banded operating expenses Other fac
tors were the stagnation in CONNER
cial and industrial business, and
strikes and foods in the middle west
which seriously affected the roads op-
Grating in that territory. To arrive at
= fair estimate of the outlook for the
present year the present outlook must
be compared with the factors which
caused last years decrease In maxi
ing such comparison it is plain that
the railroads can expect a material
increase in tonnage becauesse of a
general Improvement in commercial
business and large agricultural yield.
AS against this, evidently there will
be no reduction in wages this year,
and there may be some advances.
Taken as a whole it would seem fair
to estimate that railroad net earnings
this year will be larger than the year
Just past Seasoned dividend paying

Judge Pendleton Says Democrats Are
Stronger Than Ever In His
County.
County.

Parkersburg, w. Va. Sept. 6,-The
Democratic situation in Roane county
is exceptionally good, according to
Judge Pendleton, who spent yesterday
in Parkersburg, and was a caller at
State headquarters.
There is not a Democrat in Roane
county that I have heard of who is
not supporting the Democratic
ticket enthusiastically" said Judge
Pendleton. ION the other hand, the
Republicans in that county are great
ly divided, some of them being friend
ly to Col. Roosevelt and others to
President Taft The difference be-
tween these two factions, so far as |
can hear, will extend to the State and
Congressional tickets as well as to the
national ticket, and the Republican
candidates for these offices will lose
the votes of many Republicans.
Il believe that Homer DePue will
get the largest vote ever given to a
Democratic candidate in Roane coun-
ty Among his neighbors, whether
Democratic or Republican, he will re
ceive almost an unaniomous vote.
THE vote given to Congressman
Hamilton two years ago in Roane
county will be increased by several
hundred votes this year. Mr.. Hamil-
ton is much stronger in Roane coun-
ty this year than he was two years
ago.
1T looks to me as though Roane
county would go very close to giving
Democratic plurality for every can
didate on the ticket"

visiting the different apple growers.
The show will begin November II and
continue two weeks.
Mr. Imbach has been designated by
the company to see what can be done
the Berkeley county along that line,
and during his stay here he will visit
those who had exhibits at Pitttsburg
last year and try and induce them to
become interested in the Chicago af-
fair. The West Virginia exhibits at
Chicago will cost the exhibitors moth
ing, as they will be in charge of the
State Board of Trade and the B. & O.,
and they will be transported there
free of charge.
The exhibits from this state Will
cost approximately $4,000, half of
which is being borne by the railroad
company for the purpose Of exhibit
ing to the country what the state pro-
duces. Ten booths have been assign
ed to this state.
Last year at Pittsburg, it cost the
3. & o. over 5000 to have the West
Virginia exhibits there, but the com
pany realized that it was money well
spent, as it was not long until capital
began coming into the state and bust
ness along all lines was given great
impetus.
1t seems that the Berkeley county
people are averse to ending their
fruit exhibits to Chicago, because
