U. assembly of Texas, in its yearly encampment at Palacios drew up a resolution which it forwarded to the state highway commission at Austin seeking the aid of that body in a nearly start on the construction of the Hug-the Coast highway. The resolution sets out that the success of the encampment each year depends on direct connection with ali principal points of every section of the state, that the en campment has labored for many years under depressed conditions due to lack of highways; that it is to the interest of the citizenship and all communities along the Texas coast to build the road in order that natural progress and de velopment may be expedited. The assembly endorses the entire gulf coast route and adds that the road, originally planned between Brownsville on the southwest and Orange on the northeast, should be extended along the southern gulf to Florida and west in Mexico. The resolution then calls atten tion to the fact that potentially, the gulf coast is the playground of the state and that its recreational value only can be realized after highways have given the people ample access to it. It also sets forth the great amount of tourist 'traffic which would be drawn to southern Texas over the route. The resolution is signed by mors than 250 B. Y. P. U. delegates from all over the state.

STOCK MARKET DRIFTS LOWER • Turnover Low, Due to Cred it Outlook And Hot Weather NEW YORK, July 27.—(Ah—1The stock market drifted lower today. With the rather gloomy credit out look and the hot weather, traders were largely inclined to leave Wall Street to take care of itself for the week-end. The day's turnover to taled 1.370,610 shares, the lowest since June. There was practically nothing in the meagre business news of the day to influence the market. Several more excellent June railway earn ings statements aopeared, nut seemed to have been discounted. In contrast to the brilliant in dustrial situation, the state of credit was rather depressing. Al though a few weeks ago Wall Street generally predicted easy money at this time, yesterday's increase in time money rates indicated that fairly snug conditions. The decline in call money to 9 per cent, from the 10 per cent peak of the week, was due rather to lessened demand that an influx of funds. > The motors were generally steady. Coppers held their ground. What | selling came into the steels was well} absorbed. Some of the chemicals were under pressure. In the rails.
