OUTSIDERS PAY MORE
Gas Rates Will Not Be Raised in
Local Field Towns.

Independence, Kan, March 20
If an effort is made by the receivers
of the Kansas Natural Gas company
to increase the price of gas in the
towns within the gas fields of Kansas
and Oklahoma, the people of indie
pendence and other cities will oppose
it with vigor. 1t is the territory to
the north supplied by expensive pump
ing plants and pipe lines that must
stand for the increase. AS set out in
a published statement here headed,
THE Truth About the Gas Question: -
this will be the contention at Topeka:
IN" attempt is row being made, nor
will be made at the hearing on KAN
saS Natural gaze rates at Topeka,
April I, by the Kansas Natural Off
GERS, receivers or attorneys, or by the
court under whose authority they are
acting, to increase the price of nat
ural gas in independence or in this
field where the gas is actually pro-
duced. The increase in rates is to be
asked only at points to which the gas
is transported from the Oklahoma gas
fields by costly pumping plants and
localities will be based upon the cost
of transportation thereto. This state
ment can easily be confirmed by ref
erence to official records or by per-
sonal inquiry at any time upon the
part of any citizen"

EXPORT INCREASE
Weekly Market Summary Shows
Foreign Trade Is Brisk.
With BeariSh Activities, Money
Rates Continue to Decline.

New York, March 20.-The stock
market moves within narrow limits
for the greater part of the week with
occasional signs of unsettlement, due
primarily to the bearish activities in
leading issues, notably Reading and
United States Steel. Trading was
lighter than the average daily output
| of recent weeks but lost none of its
professional character.
Foreign influences again dominated
the speculative and investment S1tua-
tions, albeit developments in the for
eign war showed little change. Elk
change markets between New York
and the various European money CEN
tiers continued to favor this country,
of additional credits or loans. "A Ger
man loan of $10,00O,00O for a short
period was reported to have been fully
subscribed.
General business reflects the uncer-
Italnty expressed by leading merchants
and manufacturers but exports of
merchandise and other commodities
ARE piling up to unprecedented pro-
portions. 1t is known that the United
States Steel corporation and some in
dependent manufacturers are nego-
tiating for large sales of finished ma
terials.
Money rates continued to decline. a
corollary of the huge reserves shown
of the country. Many domestic loans
and similar financing, chiefly for mu-
inequalities are under consideration,
the success of the recent New York
state bond sale having given impetus
to such operations.

TEST A LIQUOR LAW.
Vets and Drys Take Webb-kenyon
Law to Supreme Court.

Washington, March 2O.-Prepara-
tions have been made for conSidera-
ton by the supreme court shortly after
ing the cOnStitutionality and interpre-
enacted by congress in 1913.
The "drys'' contend that the Webb
Kenyon law has withdrawn from in
terstate shipments of intoxicating
liquors consigned to local option ter
ritory the protection previously af-
forded such shipments by the COM
merce clause of the federal conStitu-
ton. The VETS declare the law was
merely aimed at '.bootlegging'' and
does not withdraw the commerce
clause protection from Interstate ship
ments designed for personal use
Express companies and railroad
lines are as much concerned over the
proper construction of the law as over
the question of validity. Liquor deal
ers throughout the country have gone
accept shipments for personal use''
into dry territory.
In Kentucky the courts adopted the
wet" construction, and an express
company fOreseeing an alleged neces-
sity of employing big force of in
spectors and detectives to ferret out
the purpose of each shipment appealed
to the supreme court. 1t is this case
which will be argued after Easter
Somewhat similar cases involving West
Virginia and North Carolina liquor
laws are also before the court

FACE FEED SHORTAGE
Condition of Roads Presents Problem
to Shawnee Farmers.

Since the beginning of the gloom"
period several weeks ago which at
first made the county roads impass-
able, Shawnee county farmers have
found a knotty problem of obtaining
feed for their stock. In many parts
of the county it is still impossible to
haul heavy loads over the highways
owing to their rough condition. The
county will go to heavy expense in
putting the highways back in con-
dition.
And many of the macadam streets
in Topeka are in nearly as bad a con-
dition as country roads When the
roads were dried by the wind and
sun recently they were left full of
chuck holes and ruts. In some local
tiles the holes are a foot in depth and
from a foot to a rod in length.
Feed dealers and farmers have been
unable to haul feed to or from the city
for several weeks. The result in some
localities, is a serious shortage of feed.
Not a few stockmen were caught with
only small amount of feed on hand
when the bad weather began.
Owing to the frozen condition of the
ground the county has been unable
to repair the roads to any extent.

TRADE is BETTER.
Dun's Report Shows Improvement All
Along the Line.

New York, March 2O.-Dun's says:
From every part of the country the
reports are of trade Improvement
reduce the margin of deficiency in
production and demand, and to bring
the volume of transactions closer to
normal.
Prospects of an early spring pro-
mote retail distribution and stimulate
the movement of lumber and other
building materials, with promising in
d1cationS of more general construc-
ton work. Activity in shipyards con-
tinues- The iron and steel trade fairly
maintains its recent rate of gain.
In the textile markets there is a
steady improvement both in wholesale
and retail lines. The shoe trade is
more quiet. Wheat, corn and oats vac
late in price and activity with the
changes in crop prospects and export
demand. Winter wheat conditions
give promise of another heavy yield.
There is increasing strength in the fin
ancial position of the country and ex-
ports continue heavy.
Business conditions in this country
are remarkably good considering that
the war in Europe is Increasing in
violence. The fact that the distribu-
ton of merchandise aggregates less
than in recent years, is by no means
as significant as the fact that slow i'm
provement is taking place and that
the confidence of business men is but
little disturbed.
Bank clearings for the week aggre-
gate $2,683, 726,731, a loss of 55 per
cent from the same week last year
and 6.3 per cent from the correspond
ing week in 1913.
