the BEST PLAN.

The most profitable plan for operating in
stocks is that Of uniting capital Of variou.
sums by combining or pooling the orders Of
thousands of customers and using them a.
one mighty Vhole, which la. been done so
successfully BY Messrs. Lawrence & Co.,
Bankers, 81 Exchange Place, N. y. City.
By this cooperative system each investor is
placed on an equal footing with the largest
operator, and profits are divided pro rata
among shareholders every 80 days. An in.
vestment of $40 would pay $50, making
per cent on the stock during the month.
$25 would return $3.50, or per cent SlOO
would make 81 900, or 10 per cent, and 50
on, according to the market. Frank Les

stocks is the most successful ever adopted

but instead Of paying the fare, were abus.

they were too drunk to give any ipforma-

river, search was made and it was
discovered that they had missed or left the
road by somo means, and brought up at the
bank Of the Dels, where they had driven

down into water three or four feet deep.

and f1onr Extra four sold from the wagons yes

at from Is to a. There is very little DISPOSE
ton on the part OF the farmers to sell; waiting
tor the result OF the European complications.
There are many conflicting rumOrs as to the dis
position and movements OF the various great
bowers interested in the matters OF dispute be-
tween England and Russia. Only one thing is
" preparing for war 1t is estimated that peace
able and permanent settlement OF the dimculties
would cause the embargo upon the expectation
of the wheat crops OF the Russian gram growing
country would necessarily seriously decline. We
cannot see that there would be any legitimate
reason. for1 this. 1t must be borne IN mind
that the agricultural resources OF Russia have
been greatly crippled during the past year oy the
wonderful strain upon them by reason OF the
war with Turkey, and that necessarily the grow
ing crop must be diminished in acreage. The
surplus now on hand may be necessary for home
now existing may not be only to provide for the
contingency Of war but against snort crop TINS

has much of the labor OF Russia 1een engaged a
in hostilities but vast numbers OF the most IN

ground for apprehending q serious decline IN

why they should extravagantly advance snoui9
