ILLINOIS CENTRAL
DIVIDEND REDUCED
Stock as Result Declines to
105 1-8, Its Lowest Price
Since 1896

New York, July S0.-The moderate set
back recorded by yesterdays stock mar
ket became more pronounced today when
some of the speculative favorites sold
TO 4 points under their recent high level.
The movement was unsettled throughout,
the only exceptions to the downward drift
being Erie firsts preferred, a few southern
and southwestern railers and minor indus
trials
Such improvement as was shown on the
opening derived its impulse almost en-
trely from the favorable quarterly state
ment issued by the United States Steel
corporation. Steel rose ia points In Lon
don, that market following the move
ment here with purchases estimated al
5000 shares. In the local market Steel
failed To equal Londons high price. Heav-
mess in Union Pacific, Canadian Pa
cific and Illinois Central reduced opening
gains to mere fractions.
The weakness of Illinois Central was
explained before noon, when ii became
known that the dividend had been cut
from per cent TO a per cent basis. The
stock speedily declined to 105ls, its lowest
price since 1896, while Union Pacific, whose
income is directly affected by its holdings
of Illinois Central, was weakest of the
leaders at that time
In the final hour the market reas-
sumed its recent midsummer dullness.
London's settlement was carried through
without strain. and the Berlin and Paris
markets were featureless, save for some
the heaviness in stocks. Sales of govern
The general bond list was affected by
the heavines in stocks. Sales of govern
ment IS were made in round amounts at
s5a., the recent low price. Government IS
and Panama 2s were 4 per cent lower on
the bid. Total sales, par value, aggre-
gated 81, 666.000.

WEATHER FAILS TO
AFFECT THE MARKET
Wholesale Trade Good,
Prices Steady With Ade-
quate Supplies

Morris avenue business continues
good. The rain of Tuesday seemingly
had no effect. good or bad. on trade.
The merchants are optimistic as usual
and say they have no complaint
In the produce line business yester-
day was as good as 1t usually is to-
ward the end of the month. Prices in
this line are unchanged and the supply
is equal to the demand
In the fish line snapper is said to be
very scarce. A small shipment was re-
ceived yesterday. but 1t is thought this
will have but little effect toward cas-
ing the market.
Corn maintains its high record price
of 90 cents. No change was yester-
day noted in the grain market. Busi-
ness continues brisk and the supply
adequate.

Editor Piue Bluff Graphic,
Dear Sir
It appears from editorials In the
Commercial of Saturday afternoon,
and the Graphic Sunday morning last,
that each of these papers, are oppos-
ed to Recount of the ballots cast
in the recent primary election; how
ever, no real reasons were assigned
why the Committee should not do SO.
Certainly, Mr.. Brewster, who has
heretofore been the exponent of fair
elections, will not oppose recount
of ballots by the Committee, because
no injustice can be done anyone by a
recount. lIf mistakes have been
made in the count, whether inten-
tional, or unintentional, ] no honest
Democrat can object to having that
corrected, or if illegal votes have
been cast, certainly, no honest Demo-
crat would object to having the
boxes purged Of those illegal votes no
difference for whom they are cast;
and disruption of the Democratic
party of dissatisfaction in it's ranks
will result more quickly and more
certainly from a refusal on the part
of the officials of the Democratic
party to correct errors, if any there
be, than TO refuse to do SO. AS has
been truthtully said, ut is never out
OF season to do right
Our Committeeman should see to
it that any errors made in the elect
ion should be corrected, and illegal
ballots 50 far as known oe not count
ed and when they have done that, no
difference who should be the nominee
of the Democratic party for any Of
flee, honest men will be compelled to
say to that Committee, well done
thou good and faithful servants; and
a United Democracy will go to the
polls at ..le next general election and
cast. their ballots for candidates
whose nominations have been made

vass today. If the sub committee
reports majority for Mr.. Brewster
it believes he should have the office
of sheriff and the same thing applies
to every other successful candidate
for county and township offices.
There are absolutely no reasons
why the recount should be conduct
ed. The Democratic party is bigger
than any one man. We would take
the same position if any other de-
feated candidate would insist on a
recount, because we know that the
eection was fair and that a recount
will not ia any way change the re-
suit in any contest.

His Own Bills.

Butchers are not generally credite;:
with an especially sensitive tempera
ment, but New York has one me,nbe,
Of the guild whose skin must be ex
traordinarily thin. At any rate, he
goes to unusual lengths to exoner ats
himself from the charge Of extortion
Above the cashiers window he has
hung this sign:
IF prices are high don't blame me
They have hit me, too. Here 3 the
meat bill of my own family. Read
It." Then follows an ltemized &C
count Of the chops, steaks. roasts and
cats meat consumed by the butchers
dependents in one week. The prices
recorded are sufficiently altitudinous
to appease the most disgruntled Gus
toners. and they settle their own billie
with good grace.
