INTEREST WANTED
AMONG THE COUNTY
APPLE Growers
b. & o. Trying to Stimulate In
terest In Chicago Show.
EXHIBITS TRANSPORTED
FREE OF CHARGE


Board Of Trade and Railroad Com
pany Want Berkeley County to Be
Represented at Chicago Land Show
Exhibits viii Later Be Shown
Throughout the Country and State
To stimulate interest in the Chica-
go Land Show, which is being put on
by tn Chicago Tribunn, Mr. Theo. F.
Imbach, travelling agent of the agri-
cultural bureau of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad company, is in the city
visiting the different apple growers.
The show will begin November Il 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
b. & 0. over $500 10 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 a great
impetus.
1t seems that the Berkeley county
people are averse to ending their
fruit exhibits to Chicago, because
they say that they can sell their fruit
at home and thereby add to their pro
fits. In case they send exhibits to
Chicago, it is argued, their profits are
somewhat reduced.
Thi argument the Board of Trade
and the railroad company are seeking
to overcome as they believe that by
properly advertising the fruit raised
in the state that purchasers will be-
come more numerous and that grow
ers will realize more for their pro-
ducts because the competition will be
greater.
In the West the apple growers do
not sell directly to the wholesale deal
ers but to the consumers. Thus they
realize almost double what they
would have had they sold their crop
to the wholesale men. Last year the
railroad company traced Il barrel Of
Berkeley county apples, which had
been purchased for $3.50. to its des-
tination where it was disposed of for
SIS. This shows what competition
will do if the fruit is well advertised
In addition to the fruit exhibit,
there will be Is different kinds of soil,
all Of the minerals found in the state
and two bears which were caught in
Tucker county, on exhibition.
Immediately following the show all
of the WesI Virginia exhibits will be
placed in car, and shown through
cut the country The first section
visited will be New England. and af
ter the country has been traversed
they will be brought back to West
Virginia, and exhibited in every city
and town in the state.

THE STOCK MARKET
By Hugh M. Creighton

~ 4 u 4 4 Z !: 4 !. 4
The fact that the money market has
been able during the past ten days to

paper without any advance in rates.
would seem to indicate that the high
rates for call money viii be temporary.

terror which has depleted the New

THE STOCK MARKET.
The trend of prices continues to de-
pend upon financial conditions more
than all other factors combined. This
wa sexemplifed 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 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
Q 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 floods in the middle west
which seriously affected the roads op-
Grating in that territory. To arrive at
a fair estimate of the outlook for the
present year, the present outlook must
be compared with the factors which
caused last years decrease. In max
ing such a comparison it is plain that
the railroads can expect 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 whole it would seem fair
to estimate that railroad net earnings
this year will be larger than the year
just past. Seasoned dividend paying
stocks like Pennsylvania-C. & N. w.
Northern Paciic-Great Northern,
Pfd.-Baltimore and ohio--Atchison-
Southern Pacific and Southern Ry.,

consideration on any material decline
in price between now and the middle
of October.

The enormous Development In the

These are determined upon by long
series of conferences with expert

nerve racking process requiring quite
as much attention as particular wo-
