It is conceded that the track ‘s within about five miles of Snyder to which point the camp of the railroad con- tractors was moved last night, and the impression prevails that trains may be running any time after Sep- tember 5th. Mr. Holland of the Ohio Ofl com- pany, and one of tlhe achool directors {s reported to have been in Snyder yesterday with the end in view of establishing a public school here in conjunction with and with the co- m of the Illinols Pipeline, EB. T. Williams and Snyder townsite corporations, Materfal is on the ground for sev- eral new buildings to be erected in Snyder. Belief in the report that the new railroad has a contract with the Ill- inots Pipeline company to move 20 tank cars of ofl per day 300,000 bar- rels per month beginning Septem- ber 15, leads many optimists to prophesy a town of 8,000 population here within the next sixty days. T. T, Lieuallen, agent for Snyder townsite, has an office on the ground equipped with maps and platts of all deeded land around Snyder and ex- tends every courtesy at hia com- mand to all visitors.

NEW ORLBANS, Louisiana, Aug., 31.—A bulge of $5 a bale, the most important rise in weeks, was re- corded in the local cotton market today in discounting the govern- ment’s report on the growing cdtton crop, showing a condition of 54.1 percent of normal on August 25 and indicating a yleld of only 10,788,000 bales. ‘W. McKemile, the drilling contrac- tor for the artesian well at Synder haa reached a depth of over 600 feet and expects to pull his rig next Sat- urday. This well and tho lot on which it is situated is reserved for the public use of the town. A Mr, Peterson was in Synder this week and it 's reported he plans on installing a water and electric Ught plant in the near future The plant in mind represents an initial cost of about $25,000 according to local reports. It 1s reported that a Mr. Hickson, ar old newspaper man halling from Montana, was in Snyder this week and plans the establishment of a local newspaper, A photographer who accompanied him took a num- ber of pictures representing various phases of the new townsite in its present development. Born and Johns, local contractors are erectirig a new frame building on the north side of the railroad) grade to be used as the rallroad townsite office. W. BE. Burk and B.

A reactionary tendency was in evidence at the opening but a resumption of pool operations brought about a relly which was accelerated by the formal announce- ment of @ resumption of diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States. Sales approximated 750,000 shares. \ NEW YORK, Aug. 81—Specula- tive fear of a suspension of anthra- cite coal mining and unfavorable news developments from abroad brought about rather heavy offer- ings of stocks at the opening of to- Gay's stock market with the result that the general Ust displayed a heavy one. Baldwin, Studebaker and American Sumatra Tobacco each dropped a point on initial sales and Davison Chemical, the spectacu- lar feature yesterday, fell back 3% to 51%. Early losses ran as high as four points but the selling orders were well absorbed and the market turned upward again, Davis Chemical and Gulf States Steel recording their extreme losses of 4 and 1% points respectively. Other stocks to lose a point or more in the first wave of selling were Unton Pacific, General Asphalt, Houston, American Woolen, International Harvester and Ameri- can Agricultural Chemical, _ pre- ferred. Loose Wiles advanced 3 points, Foreign exchanges opened irregular, Trading In the stock list was quiet and uneven as compared with yes- terday’s session with its wild fluctu- ations, pool operators and inside in- terests actively supporting their fa- vorites when selling pressure was supplied at the opening, but except in a few instances, showed little dis- position to move them to higher ground. Motors and motor acces- sortes were conspicuously Willys Overland, preferred, jumping four points to 71, a new high for the year, and Maxwell Motors A, Pierce Arrow, preferred, and Chandler ris- ing 1% to nearly 2 points.

Call money opened at 5% per cent. 2ND ADD STOCK MART— Buying of representative railroad shares which were carried up 1 to 2 points failed to arouse much inter- est in the leading industrials, but the entire list began to move up in ® moderate fashion after announce- ment of the resumption of diplo- matio relations between the United States and Mexico. Shares of com- panies with large interests In Mexico were bid up rapidly, Mexican Sea- board Oil rising four points and the certificates three, Pan-American A and B, Southern Pacific, American Smelting, Greene Cananea Copper and National Raflways of Mexico first and second preferred were also advanced 1 to 2 points. The closing was irregular. Buy- ing of the Northwestern raflroad in the late dealings was counteracted by the usual week-end profit taking in other quarters.

Opening prices, which ranged from Yo to 4@%o higher, with Decom- ber $1.05% to $1.05%, and May $1.11% to $1.11%, were followed by slight further gains, and then some- thing of a setback. Corn was influenced by the firm- ness In wheat and the upturn in hog values, After opening %c to %c uD, with December 67%c to 68c, the corn market advanced a trifle more and then suffered a slight reaction. ‘The market lacked rallying power, although buying of September by elevator interests and the strength in the cash market together with an improved export inquiry brought out short covering about midday.

After starting unchanged to %c higher, with December 389%o to 39%c, the market hardened a little and later began to sag. Strength in the cash market gave renewed firmness to corn, with September leading the upturn. The close was at net gains of quarter to 1%c, with December 67%.

Robert Lee Sheperd is to be the first rider, leaving St. Joseph at 10 o'clock this morning, Changing somewhat from the original tral, the route today will drop south from St. Joseph, instead of straight west and will take in historic points in Kansas. Atchison and Leavenworth, early day settle ments on the Missouri, will be on the route, and along toward night the rider will reach Lawrence. Here ,the pony express will pause a moment while exercises are held in front of the hotel that was destroyed by border raiders 60 years ago this month. Topeka is to be reached by 10 o'clock tonight and here the rider will leave messages for Governor Davis from Governor Hyde of Mis- sour! and take other messages from Kansas’ governor to Governor Sweet of Colorado. Two riders and 18 mounts are ex- pected to cover the 168 miles from St. Joseph to St. Mary's, In all 243 horses are to be used. SRITISH GIRL CLERKS SEEK WAGE INCREASE LONDON, Aug. 81—Girl clerks tn American offices who bemoan the slimness of fifteen and twenty dol- lar a week salaries are considered lucky by thelr poorer paid counter- parts in England. There are 3,000 women clerks in government offices, some of them with elght years experience, who re- celve less than the equivalent of $10 a week. T on’t like {t, but they don't know at to do about it, for there are still more than 1,000,000 unemployed in England who stand ready to pounce upon positions the minute they are vacated, Most of these government clerks are in the late twenties, some have passed thirty, and among them there are widows with children to support. The clerks have asked the govern- ment to increase thelr pay by $2 or $2.50 » week. Some of the news papers are supporting their re quests. The government hasn't sald anything yet, one way or the other.
