BURNING OF OLD BONDS
RECALLS A JUNK ED ROAD

Charleston, Mo-, May 14.-An inter-
esting account of the manner in which
the early railroads were built in this
section was given by Robert H.
Whitelaw on the burning of $43S, 900
worth of Cancelled bonds, represent
ing the accumulation of bonds since
the year 1869.
Just after the Civil War, according
to Whitelaw, the people all over the
country became obsessed with the
idea that the question of transporta-
ton was the most important one, and
each community was DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning railroad connections. 1t was
especially so in this section, where the
Mississippi River was the only means
of transportation, and which, during
the winter, was closed to most traf-
fic.
On December 81, 1859, the Legisla-
ture passed an act to incorporate the
"Pilot Knob, Cape Girardeau & Bel
mont Railroad Company" which au-
thorized the construction of rail
road from Pilot Knob, in Iron county,
to Cape Girardeau, and then to Bel
mont, in this county, on the Mississip-
pi River. On January Ia, 1868, this
act was amended SO as to authorize
the construction of road commence
ing at point on the Iron Mountain
Railroad between DeSoto and Pilot
Knob, and running to Cape Girardeau
and Belmont.
On February 10, 1869, the act was
again amended by changing the name
to the Cape Girardeau & State Line
Railroad Company
S Enabling Act in 1868
In 1868, an act, known as the rail-
road enabling act, was passed, author

STOCKS.

The prediction that higher dis
count rates as the first step toward
dehation of credit. suggesting the
likelihood OF further measures,
would lay permanent restraint upon
the market, limit speculation, and
start a downward movement, was
partially fulfilled by the sudden break
which occurred simultaneous with
resembling OF the coal strike order.
The market has long been deeply in
fiuenced by labor unrest, with mon
ey a minor. though persistent factor.
Now II appears that monetary re-
strictiOns will have a more import
ant bearing upon transactions, and
perhaps exercise a dominating influ-
ence. The outlook is for an irregu-
lar market, featured by sudden
spurts and declines. High call rates
in the past have usually failed to
check speculative activity, while the
trend was upward and the chan o
afforded to make profits. But today
the federal reserve boards attitude
may Offset the mania for specula-
ton.
Some authorities have prophecied
a crash with inflated values pricked
like balloon. Brokers loans re-
Gently were estimated at $4,000, O00,-
600 and are deemed overextended.
Call rates have been extremely high
at times. Yet the momentum up
ward may continue for some time.
Reaction will begin when public
confidence in further profits earned
with money at exhorbitant call rates
is shaken.
