Condition of Trade

The wonderful success of the popular
loan alters the face of events. January
operations become ancient history, as
the nation mounts above all doubts and
fears to solid certainty that the people
can and will uphold their government
The Morgan syndicate, bidding over
100000 more than it would have paid
at the rate of a year ago, gets only about
half of the issue, and a considerable
part at higher figures, possibly almost
half, goes to the multitude of individual
investors represented by banks through
out the country. Had the Morgan
syndicate would have taken the balance
at a price nearly as good. With
s56S, 100000 bid by 1900 banks or
persons, the tremendous strength of
the national credit is demonstrated as it
has not been before for many years.
The influence of this event upon all
manufacturing and all trade cannot be
lightly estimated. 1t strips the silver
agitation of all its power to hurt. 1t
puts the treasury on a safe basis for the
time. whether Congress does anything
useful or not. 1t notifies foreign nations
that the United States have power as
we'll as purpose. 1t unlocks millions
of gold which have been gathered in
preparation, brings directly several
millions of gold from Europe, and slim
ulates the anxiety of foreign investors
to obtain American securities.-Dun's

MiNOCQUA DAM PURCHASED.
Project of Wisconsin River Paper Makers to
Insure a Satisfactory Water Supply.

The Appleton correspondent in We'd
nesday's Sentinel states that the move
ment for combine of Fox Valley mill
owners to control the water-powers in
Fox river is encountering serious OBJ
slacles and that difficulties are ex-
perienced in disposal of stock In this
connection the following was said:
.'It is reported in paper-making
circles here to-day that the paper
makers of the Wisconsin river district
are organizing combination to pur-
chase the Minocqua dam property on
the upper Wisconsin river. The dam is
large one, controlling vast reservoir
of water that has in the past been used
for the needs of log-driving by lumber
men owning the property. tits believed
that by using this dam properly and
letting down the water according to q
definite plan, a good stage of water for
manufacturing purposes can be made
available the year round Oh the Wis
consin river"
The above organization was consum-
mated in this city on Wednesday of last
week when a meeting was held in the
Wood County National Bank building
with directors or representatives
present from the Nekoosa Paper Co.,
the South Centralia Pulp & Paper Co.,
John Edwards Manufacturing Co., at
Port Edwards, the Grand Rapids Pulp
& Paper Co., and Whiting Paper Co., at
Stevens Point. All the property and
stock of the Minocqua Dam Co., form
erly owned by lumber dealers, has been
purchased and the paper men assume
control under the old name, newly
officered as follows:
Presldent-Geo. a. Whiting.
Vice President-T. E. Nash.
Sec and Treas-L. NJ Alexander
Directors-Geo. "A. Whiting, L. E.
Nash, n. Johnson.
With the big reservoir at Minocqua
dam in command, to be closed or opened
as the paper makers may find necessary,
no doubt this will furnish all relief re-
quired in low water stages and a salts
factory power supply is thus insured fol-
the large mills that surround US. The
overflow at this point during the last
few days is due to the opening of the
Minocoua dam. -

THE WISCONSIN RIVER.
Its Importance as a Paper Taking
Stream Becoming More Recognized.

1t is only since the powers upon the
Fox river became pretty well occupied,
that the advantages of the Wisconsin
river as a paper making stream have
been properly recognized. Several
pulp mills were located at Grand
Rapids and Centralia a good many
years ago, but the principal part of the
growth of the region in paper making
way has been of very recent years.
There are already number of large
and important enterprises established
there, among them the Nekoosa Paper
Company, the Plover Paper Company,
the Wisconsin River Pul p and Paper
Company and the newly constructed,
and as yet unfinished mills of the Grand
Rapids Pulp and Paper Company. The
past history of the Wisconsin river has
been almost exclusively that of lum-
bering stream, and the many good
powers that are to be found upon the
river have been in the control of the
numbering interests, who have managed
the water for the slucing of logs, and
in some instances located saw and lum-
Der mills upon the powers. Already,
however, the numbering interests upon
the Wisconsin have begun to wane and
successive powers further up the river
are becoming available for other pur-
poses, so that it seems to be question
of time only when numbering will be
replaced by paper making. The good
and available powers are not all taken
as yet by any means, and spots are still
TO be found where heads of water vary
ing in height up to % feet are to be
had. 1t is pointed out further in the
interests of the region that the river
has its rise in the famous lake region
of northern Wisconsin, so that the
sources of its supply are especially well
provided for.-Appleton Post.
