FINANCIAL NOTES

By Private Wire to A E. Masten & Co.
/ NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-There is a
(sreat diversity Of opinion here u.s. ri
whether the steel prices fixed yesterday
are bullish or not. The prices, I hardly
think are bullish In themselves. but
the settling CT this great question is
bullish. The government will now place
these orders. by their very immensely.
Will have a bullish effect on /. S. Steel
The steel prices fixed arc most decidedly
bullish or the rails and the railroad
equipment and locomotive stocks. There
can be no question OF that
L think that when the inspiration
directors declare the regular quarterly
dividend OF 81 a share next Thursday
as I am definitely told they will, it will
have a good effect on the whole copper
list.
For today we look for continuation
of bullish demonstrations and II there Is
anv tendency to sell on the theory that
the news is out. stocks should be Pur-
chased on the resultant reaction. There
is possibility that n regulation or de-
livery Of steel giving preference to the
war demands may hurt the automoolie,
companies. but We think motors Will
follow the trend
RuvtnS in the railroad shares Is based
on the belief that the prices fixed on
TIE commodities so much USED ny the
carriers will work TO their advantage

UNCLE SAM HAS
 WANT DEPARTMENT
BUREAU OF FOREIGN AND DomES- TIC COMMERCE LISTS lNQUl- RES RECEIVED FOR AMER
 ICAN GOODS.

Washington, D. C.-That there is a demand for a wide variety of Ameri- can manufactured articles abroad IS shown by the commerce reports, is sued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. In each issue is carried a page of foreign trade oppor- tunities in which the foreigner can briefly state his wants in this country.

(Continued from Page g. cd. Those of us who lived during the sixties can well sound a warning, for well can your correspondent remen- Der that for nearly two years before the end of the Civil war we sat down to the table day after day with only dish of rice before the family and small supply of sorghum and we were glad to get that. One would think the citizens would have used every available piece of land in their wards and gardens for planting, but there. were no seeds to be found. And the soldiers, Les Miserables," cold, hungry and. lank-yet never a mur- muri We should all feel the deepest love and reverence for our president who is trying to so shape matters that our country will be at peace, and honorably so.

HINTS FOR GROWERS
 OF IRISH POTATOES

Have you any Irish potatoes for sale? If so, let it be known. There is surely a demand for them now, is the report of J. S. Knox, horticul- turist with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas. Prices run as high as s4.00 to $500 per bushel for good stock suitable for planting purposes. Let's grow all We need for home use this year and few to spare.
 That home garden of your neigh bor's that has been put in condition and had plantings of peas, beets. radishes, onions, cabbage and lettuce looks good, doesn't it? It will look good deal better few weeks later when these things are ready for the table. Why not grow a garden of your owr this year? It will surely pay you treble for the amount of labor and expense involved. Write to the Ex- tension Division, Fayetteville, for Bull letins No. 154, The Home Fruit Gar den, No. 255, The Home Vegetable Garden, No. 647, the Home Garden IF the South, and Extension Circular No 36, The Home Garden.
 There is still plenty of time to set strawberry plants and every family should have at least 200 to 300 plants to produce berries for home use. Set the crowns level with the top of the ground and firm the soil about the roots. This will bring the roots in contact with the moist soil and thus increase the chances of living. Order the plants now and prepare the ground for them before they arrive.

FLOWER BORDER FOR THE
 GARDEN.

Those desiring to improve the land scape effect of the garden can do So by planting a border around the gar. den plot, using such as sweet peas, coleus, lantana, etc. It would be god idea to set the flower border some two or three feet from the garden plot so that it would not be in .he way of cultivation of the garden. Flowers need 8 good. deep rich soil such as could be made by mixing three parts of a good rich soil with one part of well rotted stable ma, nure.

Our traffic problems are becoming more complicated, and we are ap- preaching a period of reconstruction
 and readjustment of freight rates. Each day finds the net little more closely woven about us, and today We are face to face with a proposition and a problem that, unless there is a
 united and well-directed effort to overcome, will cause irreparable dam age to the public generally.
 The interstate freight rates apply ing to Arkansas, now available to carriers by authority of recent opin- ions of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, are materially higher than were formerly in effect. These new rates are more firmly fixed and are made under such conditions as to rem der it impossible to successfully at tack them, unless there is some ma terial change in conditions under which they were made in the future. While these rates place an additional burden on Arkansas consumers, this is by no means the full extent of the injury done. As I have pointed out in former articles, it is not so much the damage done by reason of the inter state rates alone, but the true effect these decisions have The opinion of the Interstate Commerce Commission, so far as rate making is concerned, ,f | A kansas Railroad Commission and indi- rectly increases all the rates in Ar kansas (intra-state) to the extent of about 9 per cent. The Interstate Commerce Commission has said what they thought were reasonable mileage rates for the interstate movement to Arkansas, and in effect fixes the same basis, less a small arbitrary, to apply between points in the state. You might say, "oh, they. can't do that look what the first section of the Act to Regulate Commerce says: That the provisions of this act shall not apply to the transportation of passen- gers and property wholly with ia state.'" Nevertheless, the fact still remains they did that very thing, and, following the principle laid down in the Shreveport case, the Supreme Court of the United States is likely to sustain them in what they have done, if the matter ever reaches that body, unless better and different showing can be made than was made in the Shreveport case.
 I feel that our legislature has not fully appreciated the necessity of ap- propriate legislation to meet these conditions, and, unless the present leg islature markes some changes in the present laws and enables the Railroad Commission to prescribe rates ac- cording to known scientific rules, in- tead of arbitrarily by miles, and ap- propriates sufficient funds to properly conduct appropriate hearings, and takes necessary legal steps to prevent or overcome this increase, we are go- ing to find ourselves face to face with an economic problem of unusual pro portions. In the face of the prevail ing high cost of living. to work an additional hardship on the people of this state to the extent of practically 9 per cent in freight rates means that the public is going to be called upon to contribute to the carriers of this state an additional tax in the way of freight of several million dollars This additional tax or expense, of course, will not fall on any particular

7oday's Traffic Problem
By Guy r Williams.


 person or class of persons, but will
 be distributed so as to affect each in- diyldual in the state. The jobbers and manufacturers cannot absorb this vast amount in their profits; the retail certainly cannot bear such
 an additional burden; therefore it necessarily follows that this increase in freight will ultimately be borne by the consumer, and certainly will in- crease the present high cost Of living to that extent.
 I do not want to convey the idea that the railroads are to blame for these conditions and be understood as advocating radical adverse legislation, for they are simply doing what they have been directed to do by federal body having jurisdiction. Appropri. ate, just and reasonable legislation may be had that would facilitate mat ters to an appreciable degree. Whether or not it would meet with the same fate a similar bill did a short time ago is matter of some speculation. So far as such a bill is concerned, I am only interested in that part of it which has to do with the railroads.
 The public in a measure is to blame for the predicament we are in at the present, because they, through their have not responded to the call of necessity and demanded that the legislature open up an ave nue by which these changed conditions could be met. Such conditions as now exist will perhaps have tendency to revive the recent agitation with ref erence to a traffic bureau. The neces- sity of such an institution is not doubted. Those that we now have are doing much good, but there are certain limitations to their efforts and activities because they have not been sufficiently encouraged. Necessarily, before such an institution can be effee- tive it must have the loyal support of the business interests generally, and those who are to direct it's efforts must be free from sympathies or influ- ences that would have tendency to retard their efforts in caring for the publie's interests. There must be at the head of such an institution a man of firm convictions and one who is not under obligation to the carriers. 1t is not every man who can serve a common carrier and the public at the same time and do justice to both. Indeed, he who can do both must be an exceptional man and must be free from those infirmities so common to most of us. It is my thought that one well organized, properly conducted and supported bureau, or, better still, clothe the Railroad Commission with sufficient authority and give them suf- ficient funds to operate, can do more good than a number of little bureaus operating independently and repre- senting one class of shippers. In fact, there is a real necessity for both, for the independent bureaus would be of inestimable value to such a general body in securing data and informa- tion by which to make a successful attack on a general rate adjustment. To handle such matters through one general body would avoid conflict and confusion and have tendency to pro-
 duee united effort to reach a com mon end, and such cooperation would assure the success of such an enter prise.
