NEW YORK, March 24.-While
profit taking operations continued
In the stock market today, the
speculative list was fairly steady
and only in exceptional cases were
wide gaps opened up in prices Of
active stocks.
As in the previous session, sell.
ing pressure was directed chiefly
against the market leaders In the
steel, oil. railroad and industrial
groups, some Of which went to the
lowest prices In over q week.
It was apparent that the bears,
who have been heavy sellers Of
active stocks IN recent weeks, were
exerting themselves to bring about
sufficient OF decline to permit
them to cover at q profit. But
these covering movements disclosed
the fact that the floating supply
was extremely limited, and every
concentration Of buying orders re-
suited In fair sized rallies in the
stocks affected. The selling was
well absorbed and at no time was
the market out Of control Of the
bulIish forces.
Forward movements In a few of
the specialties In the second hour
acted a. tonic to the market and
prices In general were inclined
elightly upward. Beach Nut pack
ing was the most active stock in
this group. reaching q new high
above 20, UP more than points.
Thinker also was strong and active.

Wickenburg Highway Will Be

The legislature has refused to

the highway department to meet

expenses Of the state highway
engineers office. The bill was
rushed to a third reading by a
suspension of rules and passed
by a vote of 40 to 4 last Saturday.
This recalls the promise made by
Coy. Hunt, when he visited
Wickenburg and told the people
here before his election that it
would make no difference who
was elected governor the Wick
enburg Highway would be COM
pleted. Latimer and one or two
other campaign speakers had
told our people that unless we
voted for Tom Campbell the
highway thru Wickenburg would
never be finished. But Gov.
Hunt appears to be on the job
all the time.

Public Opinion
Suggests Car Routing

10 the Editor Of The Times
| noticed III your paper OF recent
date that a number OF people had
signed a petition that the Northwest
ern cars be routed out Illinois ST. to
Twenty-First St. thence over Tween
ty-First to Northwestern Ave. and out
Northwestern, instead Of out Senate
Ave, as at present.
Being a regular patron of this line,
I am interested In having this change
take place. 1 find one of the chief
objections is that there would have
to he a short line run out Senate Ave
In order to furnish service to Senate
Ave. which would call for a Y being
built at Twenty First St. and Boule-
ward Pl.
Now / would like to suggest, IN
stead Of building a \ why not route
one car out OF each five or six cars
out Northwestern via Senate Ave. and
the rest Of the cars out Northwestern
via Illinois St? I think this would
furnish Senate Ave. ample service,
and at the same time do away with
the Y and also the short line The
street car company could give tho
same service over both routes with
the same number of cars, doing away
with the necessity OF extra cars fo- a
short line
Also patrons Of the Northwestern
line could 90 via either line they
might choose. It being merely a mat
ter of personal choice.
