Temple, Texas, Aug. 18.—The city
tax rate for 1909 has not as yet been
finally adopted by the council, there
being a controversy between Mayor
Ginnuth and the finance committee of
the council over an item of 3 cents in
the tax budget for street sprinkling.
The rate aa fixed by the committee is
81.43 and the mayor desires it placed
at 31.46 to provide for free street
sprinkling in the business section. Al-
derman Wright of the finance commit-
tee clings to the lower rate and de-
sires street sprinkling to be taken cars
, of as it has always been by ' those
'directly benefited instead of by the
tax payers as a whole. If the ader
’ man wins the rate will be the loWer
one named above, and if the mayor is
successful the rate will be increased.
The matter will be settled by the coun-
cil at a full session of that body. Phe
rate last year was 11.20, and part of
the increase is accounted for by an is-
sue of $160,000 in waterworks bonds,
which call for 14 cents. The remain-
der of the Increase seems to be a mat-

Congestion In the September delivery
I was ths feature of trade in wheat.
This condition of affairs was Urgeb
L - responsible for an advance of 2
in the price of September and tor a
. bulge of 1-201 6-8c to 1 7:80 in the
more deterred months; also fresh
? damage reports from the northwes:
helped along the advance. A leading
I1 - elevator is credited with holding an
enormous loss in the September de-
; livery and the purchases b>this con-
i ' tern during the day started lively coV-
t ering by shorts which resulted in rad-
b kcal advance on several occasions-
! I a report from Minneapolis cla-iing
that the recent- hot weather in the
northwest had damaged the wheat crop
f Df North Dakota to the extent of
25,000,000 bushels was another source
of anxiety to the shorts. The market
was also bulilshly affected by an ad,
) vance of 1 1-2 pence at Liverpool and
by a fresh advance In corn prices.
( puving the day the Heptember delivery
ganged between 99 3-4c and $1.02 5-8,
while December sold between 96 5-80
•6 3-4e and 97 5-8c. The close was

New York, Aug. 18.—The stock mar-
ket today very consistently continued
its reactionary and contusing course
of the .early week. Opening transac-
tions were again in fairly large volume
and the strength of the better class of
issues gave promise of a reawakening,
but before the end of the first hour the
tone became dull and obviously profes-
sional with general receasiona.
There was the usual backing and
filling during the early sesMon, but it
was not until the afternoon that prae-
tically the entire list took a lower dip
which wiped out ah early cains and in
some instances came near the low level
of yesterday. Again it was the Har-
riman issues which bore the brunt of
the attack.
The market turned in the late ses-
Mon and became dull and mere ir-
regular. The feature of the bond mar-
ket was the activity of Union Pacific
convertible 4′6 in which dealings
were again very heavy with a net loss
for the day of 2 1-2 per cent
Bonds, steady; total sales, par value,
$5,099,060.
