of which were of Atchison preferred
Even as direct influence this selling had
a notably weakening effect in SO narrow
a market as now prevails. The sympa-
thetic effect of the foreign weakness was
even more marked. Wall Street enter
tains no great apprehension that the Uni
ted States will become directly involved
in the difficulties in China But COM
mitments of American capital in foreign
money markets and extension of Amer
lean commercial interests have grown to
such proportion that any event which
would precipitate liquidation in foreign
markets must be reflected directly and
strongly in the United States. Besides
the news from China, foreign markets
were affected by the tightening of the
money rate in London and Paris, and a
slightly easier tone in the Berlin money
market was not sufficient to offset other
depressing factors. The break in the
foreign prices of Iron and rumors OF
further concessions in iron prices in this
country emphasized the weakness OF
stocks both abroad and in this country
News of the domestic iron trade was con-
fused reports of declining prices being
mingled with reports of reopening OF
some mills recently closed down Ten
nessee Coal and Iron was the weakest
of the Steel group and lost two and
quarter points. In the general list prices
were weak throughout but stocks which
have shown some strength recently were
most affected. Atchison preferred, Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Baltimore
and Ohio Union Pacific and Louisville
and Nashville were examples. Denver
and Rio Grande preferred fell two and a
half points on rumors of the acquisition
of the Colorado Midland by rival interests
and Great Northern preferred declined A
points. There is growing uneasiness in
speculative circles over the prospects of
the wheat crop, based upon the low con-
dition reported today from Ohio and the
continued drought in the Northwest.
The converting of the joint passenger
committee in this city and the meeting
tomorrow Of railroad presidents to at
tempt an adjustment of rate difficulties
calls attention to that source of danger
to values of railroad securities. The mon
ey market continues almost unprecedent-
eddy easy jim spite of the taking UP by the
Sub-Treasury from the local banks of
50 $50 900 thus far this week. This gain
by the Sub Treasury is due to the calling
in of Government deposits from the banks,
and the money will be returned to the
channels of the market as soon as the
two per cent bonds which have been called
are presented for redemption.
The bond market weakened in sympa-
thy with stocks on a moderate volume of
business. Total sales (par value) $1,195,-
600.
United States bonds were unchanged in
bid quotations.

ed to the great growth of copper pro.
duction. This production, however.
has not equalled the demand, which is
so great that all reserve products in

the past two years, the production
has increased but about ten per cent

greater ratio, resulting in the com.

course of study to be much more
difficult than in former years.
The per cent. of attendance has
been fair so far, but the number of
tardies might be reduced greatly

The Meade News tells at length
an adventure of Alf Siegel, wherein
Alf started to Ashland and only got
about IS miles from Meade when
he discovered that the lubricants had
petered out and that his buggy was
on fire. The buggy was burned in
mid-prairie, Alf being about the only
one of the crew that was saved. This
goes to show that Alf is a hot one.

Educational.

School districts clerks who have
not sent in the annual report and the
report of school tax levy are urged
to do so Immediately. In order
that your district shall not lose its
portion of the State school fund,
and that the levy be extended on
the tax roll, it is important that
these reports be made now.
