NEW YORK, July 1.-THE trend
OF the stock market was downward
nearly all week. railroad stocks In
particular suffering losses.
The severe arraignment OF the New
Haven in the interstate commerce
commission report sent its issues to
the lowest price in the history OF the
road. A number of other roads, sus-
pected of being financially embarrass-
ed followed in the downward move
ment and practically the entire list
of railroad securities felt the pull
toward lower levels.
Continued delay in the handing
down Of the rate decision by the In
terstate commerce commission was
another depressing factor. Court de-
cisions favoring Union Pacific common
shareholders as against the preferred.
impaired stability to the Hartman
lines, but the Gould lines showed
weakness.
Tho end or the Huerta regime
brought encouragement to the market
but none Of the industrials showed
any decided gains. The close OF the
market today showed some activity
on the buying side and partial recov.
cries but for the most part the mar.
ket was dull sapd weak.

Rate Parity Necessary.

That rate parity with st. Louis
similar TO the one that shippers in
Quincy and Hannibal have for several
years enjoyed is a necessity to ship
pers in both cities was the point that

bureau, attempted to make and it is

shippers was started early yesterday

cal freight commissioner for the ship
pers, will have the heads Of more than
thirty of Quincy's biggest concerns

of G.. n. Brown, United States inter
state commerce commissioner there
for the purpose of hearing the ship
pers' arguments against advanced
freight rates, says the Quincy Wing.
Shipper afte- shipper on the wit
ness stand pictured the possible ruin
of two enterprising and recognized
manufacturing centers in event the
commission upholds the railroads and
permits the new rate schedule to go
into effect. In every case the argu-
ment was based on the failure of Han
nibal and Quincy to maintain a parity
with st. Louis shippers in event the
advanced rates are allowed.
Several shippers testified that the
removal of the parity would mean
death to their business and that in
event they did not close out entirely
they would have to seek locations
where shipping could be conducted on
parity with St. Louis and other
{ places where competition was keen.

would be next to impossible to break.
Every contingency has been pro-

Like Trap to the Mouse.
For an army to venture to Paris is
like mouse walking into trap.
In the second great chain OF forts
there are no less than thirty, each of
which is considered impregnable to
charge by troops or from bombarding
cannon. The defender can stay under
ground practically and yet continue
his fire.
Between the line of forts aid the
outer line are said to lie all kinds of
dynamite pitfalls which can be fired by
electrical wires, as the mines in har-
Dor, should an enemy break through
the outer chain OF forts.
There are some fifty outer fortresses
numbered in the outer chain, lying at
distance of twelve to fifteen miles
from the heart Of the city.
The total area encompassed within
these great Notifications is no less
than five hundred square miles. 1t is
estimated that II an invading army

summer, be grown on the inside of this
outer chain to feed the total popula-
