Roller Bearings.

Ball bearings are a German inven-
tion, and It is only comparatively
few years ago that they made their ap-
pearance on the market. Roller bear
ings, both cylindrical and conical, are
an American invention. The advant-
ages claimed for the rollers over the
balls are that they can sustain both
the radical and the axial strain and
they are more easily replaced when
they become worn.

Notes by the way.idc.

Notwithstanding the high cost of
everything. retail merchants of Rich
mond have heen having more country
and out-of-town trade this year tina
they ever before enjoyed. Every train
seems TO come TO town loaded with
shoppers from the country.
Richmond town gardeners are doing
vastly better this year than last. Som.
OF them are considerable sellers OF
vegetables.
AS has been reported from time to
time. there is in Richmond. as every
where else, siackness in building
operations generally. but here. there
has been no let-up in the erection of
apartment houses. The demand TO"
them keeps capitalists and contractors
running them up in spite Of the high
cost of building material and the sca.-
city of labor.
The strict Sabbatharians. and the
police, too, are of the opinion that too
many goods are being sold In this
town OH Sundays. The police are
threatening to do some rading.
The new sugar regulations that went
into effect on the first day OF the
month. holding the coffee drinkcr ar'l
home pie cater down TO two pounds
per month were made to give the fruit
prcservcrs "a better showing, and nci
few of them arc taking advantage
OF the regulations.
1t is said to be hard for an old dog
TO get used to new conditions, or WORDS
to that effect. The other day one OF
the old boys was momcntarily startled
when he saw stream of handsomely
dressed women filing in and out OF a
Main Street building that was formerly
the home of n popular saloon. The
building is now the headquarters OF Il
government employment bureau.

tt is not strange. in view Of the
uncertainties cngendered by onicia,

view, that the hating tendencies in
the dry goods markets have continued
in evidence. With doubts as to the
exact effect OF the price reductions,
trade interests hesitate about incur
ring additional obligations and dis

ticular ly M retailers have been largely
occupied with half-yearly settlements.

vision" and the announcement that
further changes in prices will be made
on October 1 has tended to check specu-

orally. the trade is operating under
close restrictions, and statements OF
tho value of transactions are apt to
prove misleading as to tho actual
volume OF merchandise moved. both In
the domestic and foreign field.

OPERATIONS FALL TO
SMALLEST TOTAL OF YEAR
. YEAR

NEW YORK, August 4.--Stagnation
was the overshadowing feature OF the
week in tho stock market operations
falling TO the smallest total OF the
year. Prices were firm In the main.
though no material change WAS record
cd in any important instance
Taxation and tho policy of the gov
ernmcnt toward the railroads again
constituted the principal causes which
made for restraint. Reports that the
administration may soon announce a
schedule OF war taxes ranging from 60
TO 50 per cent were current in the
financial district
Holders of railroad securities were
clearly exercised at the further delay
on the part Of the Federal authorities
in determining equitable plan OF
contract guaranteeing rentals and sta
bility of dividends.
Transportation shares were irregular
or heavy. when at all quoted. and signs
OF recurrent liquidation in moderate
volume were not lacking.
The inspiring war news served to
effect n measure OF equilibrium, to-
,ether with the extremely favorable
quarterly statement of the United
States Steel Corporation and the good
annua! report of the Southern Pacific
Company. In neither case. however.
was there more than languid response.
Activity OF pools diminished visibly,
presumably as n result of the warn
ings issued by local banks against ex-
CesSivc speculation. Call money was
nominally lower, actually holding at
the long continued rates OF to s
per cent. Time funds were limited to
renewals OF loans for small amounts.

has become merely perfunctory. by rea-
son OF an extension OF international
regulation.
