FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MODERATELY ACTIVE.
Stocks Moved with Irreguiarity and
 with UnimPertant Changes.

New York, March 1-Traasaetions in stocks in the two hours of business were moderately active, but price movements showed great irregulartty, with unimportant changes in the larg- CT number of Issues at the close, Reading being the chief exceptionI This issue. in the face of the an nouncement of suspension of work at the anthracite coal mines, enjoyed a maximum advance of more than two points Holders of stocks of the coal carrying companies are not at all ex- eroised over the present difference be- tween the miners and the operators. while the general investment and financial community sis losing no sleep over the final outcome Of the unfor tunate situation.
 Coal strikes come and go, and the chief sufferers are the miners and the ultimate consumers. In the present ease it is not believed the trouble will run for any length of time, while it Is thought that consumers will not suf- fer as much as in past strikes, owing to the season of the year and the fact that the producing companies have enormous supplies of coal on hand. While Reading presented net gain of points, such active stocks as Copper, Union Pacific, and United States Steel showed small fractional losses. The Allis-C Chalmers issues were strong features; also the
 Hill shares, Utah Copper and Third Avenue. The general market pre- scented few interesting movements but sentiment as rule appeared to De bullish.

should not place our road where we
will encounter steep hills when we
can avoid them. But after the road
is located line of levels should be
run over the route, especially in rough
country, and grade line can then be
determined that will be easiest on the
traffic. In laying this grade line we
should cut the top of the hills and
where possible fill in the low places at
the bottom. 1t is wonderful how much
this cut-and-fill method will improve
a road at small cost.
There is an old saying that "a chain
is no stronger than its weakest link"
The same is true about road. If a
man lives ten miles from town, and
there is just one hill, or one mud hole,
or one sand bed where he can pull
only half load, he must load for that
place when he leaves home.
When grade gets sleeper than five
feet or six feet to the one hundred
feet it becomes serious hindrance to
traffic.

Good Roads Question
In BraZOS County
By ROBERT ]. POTTS.

In former article l divided the
road question in Brazos County into
three main points, as follows:
l. Can we make good roads of the
materials that can be had in this com.
munity?
2. What will 1t cost and how can
we get the money?
8. Do the benefits justify the ex.
pense and the trouble?
In that article I discussed the sec.
ond and third points as fully as space
would permit. 1t was shown that the
best and fairest way to raise the
money is to borrow it on bonds voted
by the people and issued by the com.
missioners' court. 1t was also shown
that the benefits from every different
point of view-whether educational,
religious, social or financial-amply
justify the expense and the trouble OF
doing the necessary work.
