Join in landslide that viii
astonish the nation. Since the
estimates sent out week ago by the ma
tionai committee. there have been tire
mendous gains for Mckinley all over the
state. and without question Sullivan will
be elected governor. and a majority OF the
state ticket will be Republican
But that Is not the only effect Senator
Quays letter has had. AS indicated In
yesterdays Posi-Iptellivencer the assur-
ance that Mckinley. no, Bryan. will be
the next president OF the United States,
has brought about renewed confidence.
and industries long paralyzed have felt
the impulse OF life. Business has bourTded
UP like spring from the lap OF winter. and
everywhere Is met the sign OF advancing
prosperity.
A striking fact in connection with the
Mckinley iiday wave Is the general adj
vance in prices OF commodities. ard the
indications OF increased business every
where. Within the week products have
gone UP higher than for months past, and
most of them. too. are products grown on
the farm Al the same time the business
OF the telegraph Offices has increased %
per cent. The quotations for yesterday
are not only striking. they are remark
able. A part OF them is as follows:
Rolled oats. $3.50. an advance OF $50
ArbuckIe and Lion coffee. II cen; ad-
vance per pound. hrst ADVANCE IN nse
months.
Flour. up sl.25 per barrel.

Dried fruits are Advancing
Beans, Il cent advance.
Corn meal. rye -four. graham -four. are
all up from 50 cents 70 s. per barrel.

vance from - cents in the past three
months.
Silver. sss cents, substantially the same
as for year past.

S. Goldsmith. OF tbs Schwaoacher Grocery
Company. said Yesterday:
-''These are the first advances that have
taken place for the last year or year ana

with an advance in prices there always
comes stimulated demand. and this in
time means increased employ nenI and an
advance In wages.
