FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, August 23.-There were
elements OF uncertainty in the outlook
both for financial and general affairs
which accounted for a hesitating move
ment of stocks this week. The doubt
full factors had special force in view
of the extent TO which the recent rise
in prices had predicted a clearing OF
the financial horizon. The strained
relations between the United States
and Mexico. the continued drought in
the Southwest. and the imminence of
the interior crop-moving demand for
cash were the dominant influences on
securities.

interests in Mexico responded CON
spicuously TO the varying news of the
week The Mexican position. however.

special stocks as shown by the SEN
s'tivenesS of foreign stock markets TO
the news.
Foreign financial authorities report
vague apprehensions of foreign de-
faults. The disturbing news from
Mexico, Venezuela and the Balkans had
q direct interest to lending institu

influence on the renewal of sales from
those sources in the New York mar

GOOD ROADS PAY.

The direct effect that changing bad roads
into good roads has upon innd values and
marketing prices. as we'll che general
economic welfare OF the community, is
shown In several concrete illustrations which
were gathered by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. In Lee County. Va,
a farmer owned 100 acres. which ne offered
to sell for si.s0o. In 1903 his road WAS i'm
proved. and although the farmer fought
the Improvement. he has since refused $4,000
for his farm. \ nearby tract or lSS acres !s
said to have been sold for $1,000. After road
improvement. the same farm sold for $1,000
In Johnson County. Ala. the people voted a
bond Issue for S25o.0c0 for road Improvement
The selling value at that time was So to SIS
per acre. The selling price is now from SIS
10 s25 per acre.
In another state. two farmers living at
equal distance from cotton market. learn
cd by telephone that cotton had gone UP in
price 81 per bale. The farmer on the bad
road hauled one bale OF cotton, which was
all he could get that road. The other
