And now the important question arises,
Who will be the next Grand Commander
j. Ludwig, formerly of Spartan Legion
No. z, has deposited his card in DuQuesne
Legion No 10, OF Pittsburg.
Erie Legion is making great preparations
to receive the comrades who attend the next
session of the Grand Legion.
Bellevue Legion No. 81 is certainly a pros-
porous and progressive legion. 1t is com
posed of some excellent material in the way
of working members.
Colonel c. n. Lains was unanimously
elected at the last regular meeting of No.
to represent that legion at the coming ses-
sion OF the Grand Legion at Erie.
Banner Legion, of Youngstown, made a
nne display in the parade IN this city on the
Fourth of July. 1t turned out strong and
marched like regulars. The legion is made
up of some of the most prominent business
men and citizens of the city.
Comrade Mckee, of No. 10, attended a Sun
DAY school picnic recently and afforded
great deal of amusement for the children,
kicking the football and climbing the greasy
pole, etc. He is always endeavorfng to make
himself useful in some way.
Major James A. Mckee has invented a de-
vice for propelling bicycle by electricity.
He uses small storage battery secluded
somewhere under the saddle. The rider
simply has to balance the wheel by the use
of foot braces on either side OF the wheel
The Committee on Transportation for the
Grand Legion session at Erie has made ar
rangements with the Pittsburg and Western

days, and also good for going August 10 and
IL. Special arrangements have also been
made for any of the comrades who wish to
visit Niagara Falls to do so for an additional
81 90. No doubt many Of the comrades and
their friends will take advantage of these
low rates to attend the Grand Legion, and
also to visit the great cataract. Those who
intend going will please send in their appIi-
cations for tickets to Colonel C. V. Lewis as
early as possible. Special hotel rates have
also been secured at Erie

nearly $50 900 900 bushels OF wheat and CO.,,

MATERIAL IMPROVEMENT IN PRICES
OVER THE PREVIOUS WEEK.

Almost Everything in the Active List
Finishes Better Than the Opening-ob-
structions Disappearing and the Way
Prepared for a Whirl in the Fall.
The week was an uneventful one in specu-
lative circles. The market was extremely
dull, total sales being less than 600 shares,
but the feeling was better on improvement
in other business lines, and prices were
stronger in all branches of the list. Quite an
inquiry sprung up for railroad shares on re-
stocks were in higher favor.
Closing prices as compared with those of
the previous week show the following
changes: Philadelphia Gas advanced Il,
Traction Il, Pleasant Valley II, Luster Il,
The declines were Pittsburg Traction n and
under the highest bid. Bank stocks were
strong at full prices. The only sale yester-
day was so shares of Duquesne Traction at
15M; 5M4,,i,,,-, ,o ur,o ..
still fails to respond to the improvement in
the financial condition at home and abroad.
The market the past week was dull, narrow
occurred we're in the line of Improvement,
but nothing transpired to arrest and hold
attention. Prices were nominally stronger,
but the market is SO evenly poised that very
slight pressure would makeit or break it.
Electric affairs made further
progress toward final adjustment. There is
no longer a reasonable doubt that the reor-
ganization plan will be adopted at the meet
ing to be held next Wednesday. This will be
great relief to the market. The fractions
increased their hold on the public favor. 1t
Is understood that the Central people will
postpone the 50 80 assessment.
"The outlook is full of assurance and a
bulge in stocks early in the fall is as certain
as anything can be. All of the distractions
are being removed and the track cleared for
action. Pittsburg is in good shape for a
whirl. There are no wet blankets to chill
speculative ardor. Small investors are
c1ear-handed and will take hold as soon as
they can see an opportunity for turn, while
the big ones will not need to be urged when
the ball opens"
