GRAIN.

~. IT.. ~ ~
Minneapolis. Aug. 4.-There! was
improvement in the cash wheat situa-
ton today owing to the light offerings
and the car. shortage that Is develop
ing in the interior of the northwest.
The trade here Is beginning to see
shrfnkage of receipts because of the
car situation. ~
Cash wheat turned upwards and
was strong to 2 cents higher compared
with futures. Best quality was scarce
and brought 1 to Q cents advance.
Ordinary wheat was about unchanged,
though al helped the demand and
prices some. M
Durum wheat receipts were virtual
". nil. There was no desirable quality
received. There vas a stronger de-
mand for heavy Iowa winter wheat Of
dark color and some of the buyers
were willing to pay a premium for
that kind over other offerings from
the northwest. T..
Corn offerings held light and local
buyers for mills, grinders and feeders
kept prices up pretty tight compared
with futures.
Oats were hardly strong. Rye was
very strong and the gains were on bids
from shippers mostly.
Barley prices were up and demand
was sharp for spot and transit Offer
ings.
The nax market went on a ram
page. Nothing much in and buyers
competed sharply for what they could
get. Spot No. l seed sold at 13@14c

the impetus being apparently the re.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. "A reversal
of form was shown in the wheat mar
ket today as a result of active bid
ding inspired largely by fears that
farmers might show a disposition to
hold down their marketings of grain

posed to lay stress upon the proba-
bllity of marketing being hampered
during the fall months through the
after effects of the miners and rail-
road shopmen strikes.

TAX SAVING AT CAPE MAY

The increase in the tax rate which
will be caused by the city's contract
ing for the collection and removal of
garbage under municipal regulation
and pay will be scarcely noticeable
and the saving to cottagers and resi-
dents will be from $40 to $50 per year.
The practice of throwing trash and
garbage upon vacant lots, now fire.
quently resorted to by transient resi-
dents, will then be abolished for it's
collection in a systematic way will be
provided for.
There are lots of ways to save the
taxpayers money without depriving
them of a perfectly proper and neces-
sary convenience, which has received
attention as a matter of course in
every city, probably, in the country
of the size and Importance of Cape
May.
Fol instance, prompt action instead
of postponement for a week would
have saved in 1920 $1,000 on the city's
annual coal bill.
The leasing of the city's land to
the Hunt Theatre Company in 1920
would have led to the expenditure of
$4,000 in the erection of a fine the
atre which is now being built in Wild
wood instead, and would have brought
an income in rentals and taxes of
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year for a
long term of years without detriment
to the city nor to any other interest.
Dihgent attention to the city's
finances and to the prompter collec-
ton of taxes would result in less bor-
rowing of money and the payment of
less interest.
The difficulty is that petty politics
are receiving more attention than the
city's interests and is costing more
in taxes than anything in the nature
of needed improvements which are
proposed would.-Cape May Wave.

Water at 80 Cents a Gallon

At Cow Camp, the dryest point on
the Silver Peak range, near Tonopah,
New, water isn't quite up to the price
of liquor, but it is almost there. They
are paying 80 cents a gallon for it, n
residents agree that it is cheap at the
price. There isn't any competition.
The water mar has a monopoly and no
one envies him his job.
The nearest watering place Is eleven
miles away. For five miles the water
is carried in a blackboard drawn by
horses. Then the road narrows to a
trail and horses are unhitched, the wa
ter bags tied owe their backs and the
remainder Of the trip is slow. 1t taxes
about a day to make the trip. In the
old days, when saloons quenched
thirsts, there wasn't the demand for
water that there is now.

SHORT TRAINS VS.. LONG

Henry Ford, who has made a great
success of the bankrupt little railroad
he took over a while ago., and shamed
the other railroad managers of the
country by doing it, has suggested
that railroads could operate more eff
GENTLY and cheaply if they would
tighten their equipment. He expects
to tighten the engines, make shorter
trains and run more of them.
Commissioner Esch, of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, at a
hearing held before that body on the
question of reducing railroad rates,
asked S. M. FELTON,, president Of the
Chicago Great Western, this question:
Do you think you might cheaper
your operation by trying this plan out?
Mr.. FELTON, replied:
The experiment would be contrary
to theory of railroad practice.
At first blush, it would appear that
Mr.. FELTON, was right. And yet prac-
trical freight conductors, brakemen
and engineers, who have operated both
kinds of trains for many years, have
often told us that the long, heavy
train is by no means economical in
many important respects. 1t makes
greatly for the extraordinary slowness
with which freight is moved. The
average mile per hour movement of
freight on American railroads, count
ing in terminal delays, is probably
slower than the time made by Adams
ox-team.
Much could be learned about prac-
teal railroading directly from the en-
ployes. Men who have actually oper-
ated railroads all their lives are likely
to know more about them than execu-
tives who occupy their places by the
favor of New York bankers, and whose
first duty it is to make the railroads
the efficient instruments of their mas
ter's stock ticker.-New York Amerl-

WILL OCEAN CITY JOIN ATLANTIC
COUNTY?

Tidings have recently come across
the bay that the people of Ocean City,
which in the last few years has en-
joyed a wonderful growth, may under
take in the heal future to be set aside
from Cape May County and be Joined
to Atlantic County. This idea is now
said to be seriously considered by
many leading citizens of this thriving
resort.
To do this it would be necessary to
have legislation enacted and probably
special elections held in both counties
and the adjustment of bond issues and
other indebtedness would call for ex-
tended negotiations. The natural
boundary between the two counties
established by the Great Egg Harbor
Bay has been, it is pointed out, practi-
cally eliminated by the bridge which
in many ways links Ocean City with
this county more closely than it is
connected with the rest of Cape May
County.
Ocean City residents and visitors,
since the bay bridge and the Somers
Point-Longport boulevard were built,
visit Atlantic City in large numbers.
The bay bridge will soon be taken over
by the state and tolls abolished, which
will greatly promote travel between
the two resorts.
How the idea will be received by the
residents generally of either county
is not known, as few of them are
aware of the project.-Atlantic County
Record.
