BUSINESS CONDITIONS
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE.

The marvellous recuperative
powers of this country are fast
overcoming the difficulties
brought about by the war.
This wa. came on US like an
earthquake. II disturbed every
channel OF commerce. IL caused
even the most prosperous under
takings 10 give pause.
But soldiers must eat. and
there are just as many mouths 10
feed and bodies ~ clothe now as
there were when Germany cross
ed the Belgian frontier and when
the French made their dash into
Alsaee. All those that have been
killed have been replaced as
food consumers by the infants
passing from n liquid TO solid
diet.
Our southern people are al
ready beginning to profit from
the lesson they began to learn
in August.
There are more green fields in
the south than there have been
before for many years.
Ia these fields rye and oats
aud wheat are growing and next
year, instead o. having 10 buy
great quantities of animal food
from the north, we will have To-
cal supplies.
The quickening Of manufactur-
ing OF the wholesale business will
follow the ectivity in the de-
inand for food products. The Sc
.ail business will necessarily inn
prove.
The man who is holding his
money, waiting to grab up some
thing At u rliinOus price, IL a
dronc AN burden in the cOmmun-
ity. II he is truly wise he will
invest that money now.
II he has vacant piece of
property in Hickman which he
intends later 10 improve, he can
improve that property more
chcaply now than he can twelve
months hence.
If people who have money owe
large or small bills and are saw
ing that money for rainy day
they will postpone the rainy day
by paying their bills
II the grocer or dry goods mer'
chant collects his bills in reas'
enable amounts. he is in a posi-
ton 10 extend further credit. foi
he in turn pays his bank and his
wholesaler and manufacturer, wh'
in turn pay their banks. The
banks then are in position q
enlarge their credits.
If everybody then bucks mp an'

THE movement already starte,
toward hesier things will be nc
celebrated and when this greal
war is over and the world gets u

PATRONS PAY TAX.

Fire insurance companies in
Kentucky have directed their To-
cal agents operating throughout
the state to collect the war tax
of one-half to Iper cent from
the insured. The state rating
board refused to make an order
TO this effect, but the insurance
companies probably did not de
sire TO pay the war tax them
selves, hence they decided to
collect il from the people.

products are still sold at high prices.

RAILROADS MAY WIN.
Prediction Made That 5 Per Cent Rate
Increase Will Be Granted.

Washington. May 29.-The interstate
commerce commission. it is predicted,
Will grant the eastern railroads in =
cTeases in freight rates which will ag-
gregate a large part of the per cent
horizontal advance sought by the car
ries The Indications are that the de-
cision will De rendered by the COM
mission about the middle of June.
One report here today was that the
advance allowed would be equivalent
to per cent horizontal increase. A
blanket horizontal advance. however,
probably will be denied. The commodi-
ties on the transportation of which the
carriers are entitled to an increase will
be indicated, and the increase in each
case specified.
The question now is being consd-
cred by the members Of the commits
sion individually. Beginning June the
commissioners will meet in daily con-
ference. discuss the issue and decide
the questions involved by a majority
vote. If he is one Of the majority
Chairman Harlan will write the decis-
ion.
1t is probable that there will be two
decisions. tnasmuch as the commission
divided the question raised by The rail-
roads. The commission ruled that it
would be necessary 70 decide first
whether the carriers have demon
strated a need Of more revenue. 1t it
should be determined that he roads
| have made a case on this point the
commission then Will proceed to de-
eide how the carriers should be al
lowed to increase their profits; other
wise the proceeding would be termi-
mated with this negative decision.
There is reason TO believe that a
majority OF the members reached z
conclusion in favor Of increasing the
revenue of the roads in the, final stage
Of the hearings. Particularly sigriti-
cant in this connection was the dec
laration Of Louis D. Brandes special
! counsel for the commission, that the
carriers in Central Freight Associa-
! ton territory undoubtedly are entitled
20 an increase in revenue because the
! entire rate schedule is unscientitic and
! unremunerative
The really big question will be the
! determination of the manner in which
! the roads will be allowed to obtain
! more revenue. The commission al
/ ready has pointed out rather signih-
| cantly that the roads could swell the!l
! profits tremendously by aOollShlng the
/ numerous free services performed 1oI
shippers such as car spOttlng, ferry
! and trap car acComm odations, lighter
! age. storage, billing and routing, load
! ing and unloading, particularly al
wharves The roads have taken the
hint and have filed proposed tariffs fol
car spotting and other services.
| The commission 1t is believed, viii
require the carriers to charge for these
services and allow them to advance
rates on many commodities which the
testimony demonstrated are unremun
erative. 1t was shown that rates or
coal and iron. and especially all bull
rates except those on hay, are highly
| remunerative. A blanket increase, j
| is contended, would give the roads al
exorhitant profit on bulk rates withou
making the return on the transporta
toin OF other articles properly remun
era tive.

country buyers in attendance, Sarc

Rains within the last forty-eight
hours have visited some sections from
which dry weather reports were emf
mating, and there Is some expectancy
of broadened country demand during
the coming week, as the sharp de-

night have put the market down to
much safer trading basis.
Dealers held very high grade class

Forthcoming, tho they were grade

very choice selected yearlings are

former figure is regarded an outside
one for fleshy strong weight feeders,

dunn grade Of stock and feeding steers
