says:
Iowa is not represented among the general
officers of the army, nor In the Adjutant

Owing to the war between Chill and Spain.
copper has advanced materially. and q natural
consequence, copper stocks are buoyant. The
price Of the material has gone up already
from thirty cents, which about the west point
to forty-six cents per pound, with prospect Of its
going ssill higher, especially if the blockade Of
the principal ports should be confused for any
considerable length Of time for this country will
be looked to for supplying the deficiency caused By
