Clark Fiscal Court
Votes Appropriations

The Clark Fiscal Court Wednes-
day afternoon unanimously adopted
a resolution providing that Clark
county pay one-fourth cost Of tho
construction of the Mt. Sterling
pike, not to exceed $500. This ac-
ton was taken after several hours
discussion, and over the vigorous
protest Of Judge Evans, who urged
that the matter be deferred until the
February term Of the court.
The resolution was offered by
Magistrate Lindsay and seconded by
Magistrate Pace. It's unanimous
adoption was greeted with spon-
taneous outburst of applause from
the large crowd present.
At the regular meeting of the Fis-
cal Court, held Wednesday at the
Courthouse, Fl. g. Garrett. chairman
of the State Highway Commission,
and Division Engineer Smith ex-
planned the proposition of the stats
for the construction of the road be-
tween Winchester and Montgomery
county, a distance Of 9.6 miles.
Mr.. Garrett said the figures based
on an 1S-foot road, indicated that
Clark county's one-fourth cost
would amount to 100000, under
estimates made some time ago when
prices of material and labor were
considerably higher. The road is to
be hard-surfaced and of the best
grade, with Clark county's part to
be one-fourth of the cost of con-
struction. ,
Mr.. Garrett said the Commission
was using every effort to Distribute
the fund for roads in a fair and i'm
partial manner, and said he was
anxious that Clark county should
avail itself of this offer.
He explained that the construc-
ton of the hard surfaced road un-
der this proposition would elimi-
nate all future costs to Clark coun-
ty for the maintenance of the road.
Judge Evans opposed the PROPOSE
ton, stating that a good type Of
road could be constructed at much
less cost. Mr.. Garrett explained that
he had been informed that the fed
eral and state governments would
not accept such types of road, and
would only lend aid where the hard
surfaced road is constructed.
In the afternoon Judge W. C.
Taylor made a vigorous short talk
in favor of the appropriation. \
Representative John w. Swope
was present to lend his influence
toward securing the road.

FAILURES LAST WEEK.

With 277 commercial failures in
the United States, last weeks in
solvency record, for the fourth con-
secutive week. reflects moderate i'm
provemcut. The number of business
defaults was Is less than were re-
ported to r. C. Dun & c. the previous
week. and contrasts with 3I1 fail
ures two weeks ago and 5li as the
high point for the current year.
reached in the week of January IL.
Comparison with the returns of this
period OF 1920, however. is still un-
favorable. there having been only
le4 insolvencies at that time. The
decrease in number of defaults last
week, as compared with those of
the previous week. is mainly on the
Pacific Coast, where a reduction of
ls failures is noted. The statement
for the South shows a slight falling
on, whereas there are 6 more fail
ures in the West. In the East. no
change at all appears. the number
being the same in both weeks, the
the smaller total of defaults. the
number involving $1,000 or more IN
each case is smaller last week, be-
ing l5e. This compares with l7s
such insolvencies the previous weeR.
The proportion of the failures for
$4,000 or more to the aggregate
number is also lower. 5e.3 per cent
contrasting with $50 per cent the
previous week. A year ago. how
ever. the ratio of such defaults was
only Ss.7 per cent.

BANK CLEARINGS,

With the income tax payments,
bank clearings last week consider
ably exceeded those of the previous
week, but continued losses appear
in comparison with the figures of
this period in the two Immediately
preceding years. As reported to
Dun's Review, the clearinEs at
twenty cities in the United States
last week aggregated S6,SS5.355,432.
which represents a reduction of 2l.6
per cent from the total a year ago
and a slight falling off from the
amount recorded in this week OF
1913. The decrease from last years
clearings is explained. in part. by
smaller payments on income taxes
this year. and the lower commodity
prices are also a factor. Excepting
Louisville, Minneapolis and Los An
Seles, the clearings at all cities re-
porting are under those of last year.

ECONOMIC STATE
INFLUENCES GRAIN
Marked Disposition to Go
Slow in Providing for
Future Wants.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. March ls.-General
economic and financial conditions
are influencing the grain trade as
well as the commercial world. to the
extent that there is a marked dis
position to go slow in the way OF
providing for future wants, accord
ing to Thomson & McKinnon. In
their weekly review. They are.
also. evidenced in a growing belief
that the price of wheat must de-
cline to some point approxinating
values of other grains and commod-
tiles. This feeling is increased by
the present fattering outlook for
the new crop. Trade journals and
authorities admit the presence OF
green bugs in the Southwest, and
Hessian fly in the territory east of
the Mississippi River, but there
have been no claims of any impor-
tant damage. The British commits
sion took a round lot in the early
part of the week. but foreign de-
mand since then has been of very
modest proportions.
1t is believed that the British
government will decontrol wheat on
the last of this month and that mill
to work on their own initiative
This being so, the future demand
from that source is likely to be in
small quantities rather than heavy
takings at any one time. II is not
well to become too strongly con-
WINGED of the idea that wheat prices
must reach a prewar level. until
such time as Russia is again able
to supply the world with her pre-
war average surplus of around l50.-
10000 bushels. TIE eNportable
surplus of North America as of
March /, will permit exports tn e
balance of the crop year of about
10000, 900 monthly, but shipments
at this rate will closely exhaust the
old crop and leave little, If any,
carry-over.
The Southern distributor is
showing a little more interest in
oats and the producer is busy in the
fields, thereby preventing further
marketing of his reserves. How
ever, these items are lost sight of
because of the large accumulations
now in sight and the well-accepted
belief of enormous reserves still in
first hands.
