NEW YORK STOGKS Rzilway Labor Situation Again All-Absorbing Feature of the Market. < QUOTATIONS ARE LOWER ) —The railway labor situation was again the all-absorbing fea- ture: of tod market, but prices sug- gested that Wall street still had confidence that a strike would be prevented. Quota. tions were mainly, and In some instances materially lower at the opening, with com plete recoveries and a few actual gains at midday. Mercantile Marina {ssues made new ree- ords, the common sdvancing 3! points to 43%c. with 2n equal gain for the proferred at 104%. Combined dealings in Marines mounted to about 172,000 shares or 25 per cent of .the d. siness A new maximum was established Kelly Springfield Tire, which rose 1% to 77%, while other shares of the same de- scription were lifted, American Can com- mon .and preferred, Continental Can and the better known fertilizers were in de- mand, at temporary gains, shading off, however, with the balance of the list in the. general realizing of the final hour. Ralls and Unjted States Steel were lower by 1 to 1% points, but recovered some of their losses when selling pressure relaxed Munitions and related stocks dlosed at irregular declines. Total sales amounted to 680,000 shares. Preyailing Industrial prosperity was de- noted by: the restoration of American Loco- motive common shares to their 5 per cent dividend ‘basis after eight years of sus- pended payments and the reviews of trade authorities, which reported an unabated inquiry for steel and Iron products. Rubles were again the sole efature of the dull foreign exchange market, on their fur- ther advance to 34.60 in copnection with additional purchases of Russian securities. Irregular changes were noted in the bond market, with heavy trading in Anglo- French s, Total par value, $2,870 000 }"nnefl States were unchanged on call, New York, Aug. by on Sales. High Low.

Judge Discharges Autoists BASE BALL JOBBERS HAVE PLAN T0 FOOL RAILROADS Open Branch Houses in Ne- braska Towns to Over- come Freight Rates. KEEPS COMPETITION EVEN Omaha jobbers are rapidly prepar- ing plans to establish branch houses or warehouses in Lincoln, Grand Is- land, Norfolk, and possibly Fremont, in order to compete with some of the other wholesale centers under the new freight rates, which become effective in Nebraska October 25. The conference of Nebraska rail- road men, heid in Chicago, resulted unfavorably to the jobbers of Omaha. cide to establish rates that would be alike for competing cities. Instead of that, the railroad men are back from Chicago with the word that the big bosses at headquarters told them the flat distance scale of rates must be put in. This is under the order of the Interstate Commerce commission issued a few weeks ago, raising the Nebraska rates from the scale that has obtained for two years, to a higher level. Under the flat distance scale, Lin- coln jobbers have a distinct advan- tage over Omaha in shipments on the Burlington west of Lincoln. Sioux City has an advantage over Omaha in competing for business in northern and northwestern Nebraska. Fremont has an advantage in competing for business west on the Union Pacific. It is these advantages which have prompted the Omaha jobbers to de- cide hastily to institute branch houses at points of vantage. Omaha houses handling hardware, implements, gro- ceries and several other commodities, will establish these branches. Route Through Omaha. Then they can route part of their stock right through Omaha to these warehouses out in the state. This will give them the first advantage of the through rate and also of the ship- ments in carload lots. Then they will be in position to ship out from these They had hoped the roads miglit de-; |pnm05 in smaller quantities for the local trade,.paying tne flat distance scale of rates, which will make them no worse off than the cities with which they seek to compete. While the flat distance rates put | Omaha at a dwad\antagc as agamst some of the other Nebraska cities and | Sioux City, they will give Omaha an advantage over both Kansas City and | St. Joseph in competing for all Ne- | braska and western business. \Visiting Nurse Tag Day on September 6 All is set for Visiting Nurse asso- ciation “Tag day” Wednesday, Sep- tember 6. The directors and nurses are hoping that this year will be a banner year for contributions in or- der that the good work of the or- ganization may continue. The nurses are just now particu- larly interested in a family of six chil- dren which they cared for last year when one the children digd. The stork is once more hovering over the household, and so they are car- ing for the mother now. A 10-year-old tot in the family as- sists in the care of her mother, help- ing to get things ready for the nurse’s visit. She watches the nurse’s minjs- trations, and the next time the nurse comes has everything ready for her. Every day she has.a flower or some little token of appreciation as a part- ing gift for the nurse who is doing things for her mother. “Jitney to Chi,” May Be Cry After Strike is On Jitney lines may run from Omaha to 'Chicago, Kansas City, St. Joseph and other cities in case of a general railroad strike, Representatives of automobile and taxicab companies said that they would undoubtedly make trips to Chi-~ cago and Kansas City when the strike becomes effective ?’!hey could get loads of passengers and at a price sufficient to make it worth the trip. The trip to Chicago can be made from Omaha by auto in two days. It is thought that regular scheduled service might be established by auto between cities of this distance from Omaha.
