returning from their summer haunts:
but. for the present. appear to be con-
tent to merely familiarize themselves
with the factors OF the situation. This
is condition which suits well the pur-
poses OF the speculative leaders. most Of
whom are more bullish than they just
now care to declare. Their position is
that of expecting q much higher future
range OF prices while holding but mod
crate lines OF stocks. 1t therefore suits
their purpose to have the market drift
easily and even to coquette with the
bears" SO as to make additional pur-
chases at lower prices. They are quite
willing that timid people should feel
timorous over the prospects of the fall
money market: they do not object to
the warnings of the alarmists who see
danger in the political situations in
France and Africa; they are quite toll
Grant towards pessimistic estimates of
the crop outcome: all this suits their
present purpose, which is to buy stocks
for rise when the surprising CONNER
cial movement now getting under head
way reaches its climax later in the fall
markets.
The bank examiner estimates that
the next statement will show deposits
in Iowa banks to exceed those Of the
last statement by from two to three
millions. There ought not to be any
unusual fall "tightness" in the money
market this year.
The wheelmen of New York and
Brooklyn are determined to have q
wheelway over Brooklyn bridge. The
official engineer. who seems to block
the achievement Of their desires. is re.
ceiving some rapid fire compliments at
the various mass meetings and the
have dispatched their riot
specialists to report the meetings. The
public. however. is inclined to believe
the cyclists will win.
In pursuance to the growing senti-
ment, several of the printers in this
Office have agreed to boycott the Paris
exposition. There are, doubtless, many
same.
Now comes the statement from the
war department that the south has
furnished more volunteers in the late
war in proportion to its population
than the north. 1t is not surprising
when the fighting tendencies OF the
but it is interesting when it is consid-
cred that the fathers of these men
fought against the government thirty
five years ago.
Despite the fact that Emperor Will
liam is frequently criticised by Euro
pean newspapers as harsh and arbi-
trary ruler, he is said to be the only
sovereign of Europe whose assassina-
ton has not been attempted. The people
of Germany evidently regard Emperor
Bill as a good fellow.
Dunn's Review for Saturday says re-
garding the market for boots and shoes:
shipments for the week were 9S,053
cases, surpassed IN tine corresponding
week of 1897 only. Orders have fallen
off, and are generally of sizing char
acter but makers are sold SO far ahead
that they do not regret the decrease.
Large orders for balmorals are being
taken for delivery in the fall, and
though women's buff works are pushed
to the utmost, they are still running be-
hind. The season is near its close in
mems satin and buff shoes, but the
works have orders for some time
ahead"
A state good roads convention is
called to meet in Des Moines on Friday
October 6. The members of the boards
of supervisors and the auditors of the
various counties of the state are named
as delegates. 1t is to be hoped thai
there will be large attendance.
