EXIT FREE LUNCH FROM SALOONS IN LOCKPORT With It Goes the Schuper Price of Liquor Advanced. LOCKPORT, July more can the "tired saloon patron," in search of a nip and a bite to eat in the afternoon before going home to dinner, get his nibble in any of the local cafes.

Members of the Lockport Retail Liquor Dealers' association got together on the free lunch proposition and all agreed to abide by the judgment of the government in helping to "conserve the nation's food supply." The H. C.

The largest glass will be 12 ounces. All can or growler trade will be measured according to the glass. The price of whiskey has been advanced five cents a drink.

GOOD CROPS ARE PROMISED IN ALLEGANY BOLIVAR, July reports received from farmers in this section of Allegany county indications point to good crops this season.

Hay is an average crop and will range from one to three to the acre. present there is little demand for new hay. It is selling at about $10 ton the field. Potatoes look promising. No blight Has shown up as yet.

They ought to yield, 100 bushels to the acre. Some contracts have been made for potatoes this fall at $1 a bushel. The corn crop is a poor one and very grassy, caused by 'the long period of wet weather. Probably very little corn hereabouts will reach maturity. Rain prevented cultivation of the crop and it has had little chance to grow.

Much of it on the low land has been washed out. Oats are a good crop on the hill land, but in some instances have been drowned out on the flats. They will cut from 30 to bushels to the acre. There is a good acreage of buckwheat. Present indications point to a fair crop.

Apples will be about 60 per cent. of a crop, while garden crops are good. James C. Durnell is home from Bartlesville, Oklahoma. COHOCTON.

J. WRIGHT CO. NEWS OF THE STREET WALL STREET-Motor shares supplied much of the strength of the early dealings, that group gaining one two points. United Cigars, Mexican Petroleum, Ice preferred and shippings represented the other active and firm features. Equipments and distinctive war issues were fractionally better, but rails and metals moved narrowly when at all.

Trading became more animated later, rails and metals joining the general advance. Federal Mining ferred gained 3 points, Utah and American Smelting and National Lead a point each. Coalers strengthened on the ruling granting higher rates in western and southern territories, and sugars gained one to two points. Motors reacted slightly with United States Steel, but active equipment further improvement. The bond market was irregular, Liberty changing hands at 99.40 99.45.

Additional advances in the smaller dealings of the afternoon high grade rails, leathers, tobaccos and various specialties. These were counterbalanced in a measure by selling of Industrial Alcohol and Distillers' Securities, based on reports of adverse federal legislation.

There was no significant feature to the market yesterday, which was slightly firmer on the rather vague peace talk, short covering pending publication of the government report and some further trade buying of October, some of which was credited to Japanese interests. The trade is generally bearish, however, in view of the generally favorable crop conditions now prevailing, but the more conservative people are recommending caution on either side. United Cigar Stores earnings for six months ended June 30 showed gain of 60 per cent. over first half of 1916.
