WHEAT SHOWING
MORE STRENGTH
neNpected Bullishness in Quotations
From Liverpool Has Good Ef-
feet on Prices.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Wheat showed
some renewal of strength today as a
result of Liverpool advices that were
more bullish than had been expected.
Argentine shipments to Europe, al
though increased, were said TO be dis
appointing as to volume, whereas i'm
port needs& especially in Great Brit
ain, seemed to be on the increase
Buying here, however, was light and
the announcement of fresh embargoes
against Philadelphia and Baltimore
had an unsettling effect. Opening
prices, which varied from unchanged
figures to 12c higher, with May at 1873
01.3312 and July as 1245s 01.24&
were followed by moderate general
advance and then a sharp setback, but
not of lasting sort.
Advices of addition embargoes, this
time against Newport News and New
Orleans, led afterward to marterial
setbacks in price. Export sales,
though, brought about a substantial
reaction. The close was nervous, I'M
changed, with May 1873 and July
1.2412.
Clear, cold weather that promised
enlarged receipts tended to ease the
corn market; wheat strength, though,
acted to a considerable extent as an
offset. After opening at &c decline
to a shade advance, prices underwent
! sag all around, but recovered in

Map showing course of Dixie high
way from Chicago to Florida.

Chicago, Feb 8. - Over s1,765,000
expended in six months on the Dixie
highway alone in SO counties Is the
wonderful story of progress CLEANED
from the reports to date. This is only
foretaste of what will be accomplish
ed, as these counties are preparing to
spend s6931 900 within the next u
months. AS the counties have not been
selected for special progress, but are
from all the states as they have re-
ported, it is reasonable assumption
that they are typical Of the average.
They represent less than third Of
the total number of counties. Using a
multiple Of three you have an esti-
mate of $5,3O0,OO0 spent on the high
way to date, and over $20,793, 900 will
be expended.
Another sign of progress is the
large mileage of permanent roads
built or under contract. Fifty coun-
ties show that nearly tenth of the
entire mileage is or will be paved
road. Using only multiple of two to
represent the other 112 counties, you
have a goodly portion Of the road
built for permanence The prepara-
lions being made for even greater
progress along this line are highly
gratifying.
Some divisions Of the highway are
planning paved roads for their entire
stretch. Notably among these are
from Chicago to Danville, H.; Toledo
to Cincinnati, Ohio; Jacksonville to
Miami, Fla, and from Tallahassee to
Barlow, Fla.
The reports by states show that in
seven out of IS counties in Kentucky
there has been expended S135,000. In
Ohio eight counties out of II and not
including Hamilton county, of which
Cincinnati is the county seat, there
has been expended $388,OO0.
Five counties out of % in Florida
spent s6O1 900 on the Dixie highway
in the last six months Six counties
out of IS in Tennessee spent $4,000,
Four counties out of five in Illinois,
and not including Cook county, spent
S252,000 in the last six months, while
10 counties out of "a in Georgia spent
$4,000. And yet this large eXpendi-
utre is only small proportion of the
expenditure to be made, as many of
| the counties have merely made prep
arations for going to work on their
sections of the highway, and their
money will not available until later
In the so counties reporting to the
association, provisions have been
made for spending S6,931 900 on the
Dixie highway alone. Again. using the
multiple of three, the total is in excess
| of $40 100000 To the uninitiated, this
! immense sum OF money for the con-
struction of the highway may seem
preposterous and out of reason. Yet
when the statement is itemized by
counties the reasonableness OF it can
| be plainly seen.
This amount is divided by states as
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-02-03

The bond issues which have been
voted in the state of Florida alone
during the past six months are now
in excess OF s6,O00,000 The majority
of these counties are traversed by the
highway and the road will receive a
goodly portion or it. 1t can be con-
servatively stated that within the next
six months this bond issue will be
doubled as far as the state of Florida
is concerned. Bond elections for the
month of January alone will be called
to vote on over s3,000,000 worth of
bonds. Two counties in that state
have set their goal at s1,000,000 in
bonds
From the reports received from the
so counties, over 367 miles in these
counties are either paved now or con-
tracted fer using either brick, asphalt
or concrete. From survey of the en-
tire highway on the basis of the re-
ports submitted, it is safe to say that
seventh. or over 600. of the entire
mileage of the Dixie highway is paved
BY the end of 1916 over 800 mile

HOW THEY DO 1T IN PiTTsBuRa.

From the st. LouisaGlobe Democrat,
That Pittsburgh does something be-
sides furnishing New York with scan,
dial is realized by everybody who give
the matter a second thought, but that
1t has n Of the most thorough and
effective organizations for promoting
progress" as its literature allitera.
lively puts 1t, is Just becoming gener.
ally known. Five years ago a fund OF
$l36,473.00 was raised by popular sub
scription for the Pittsburgh Industrial
Development Commission, to be nam,
ed by the Chamber of Commerce. The
fund was to last three years, but It has
been stretched over five. The Pitts.
burgh City Council later appropriated
$4,000 for allied Foreign Trade Com,
mission, which financed the work fol-
IS months.
The two commissions recently made
an accounting reciting achievements
that challenge attention of the coun.
try. The Development Commission
has through its direct efforts located
Sc manufacturing plants, giving EN-.
ployment to $500 persons. It has Sc.
cured more than $4,000, 900 in capital
and lines of credit for industrial en-.
terprises already established. It has
removed conditions that i~nterfereu
with development of many industries
and aifirmatively aided others in car.
rying out plans Of expansion. It has
maintained an industrial news bureau
that has furnished reliable detailed
news to ITO trade publications. Free
pictures are also furnished for special
articles. 1t has made and circulated
industrial maps OF the Pittsburgh dis.
trict.
The foreign Trade Commission has
prepared an exhaustive index Of Pitts.
burgh products. giving the capacity Of
each industrial establishment. This
has been used in facilitating the plac.
ing Of foreign orders. Purchasing
agents from abroad have found at the
office OF the commission information
that they have been required to spend
much time in gathering elsewhere. AS
a consequence Pittsburgh has sur.
passed all other cities Of its size in
orders from Europe to supply the war
demand. The commission keeps In
touch with the United States Depart.
ment OF Commerce all the time and
utilizes even the reports that cannot
r. generally published. Arrangements
have been made for personally inter.
viewing all the commercial attaches
and consular agents, both when they
are going to and returning from their
posts. The chief difficulty now is that
Pittsburgh manufacturers have be.
come 80 overburdened with business
that they are turning down orders pro.
cured by the organization.
