while IT lasts, and when 1t destroys IT.,

Municipalsor state ownership is not
the remedy because the service extends
beyond the boundaries Of municipality
and state. Extravaganza in adminis-

In all charters granted the right to
regulate rates should be retained, but,
as competition is popular, the company
that proposes 1t generally manages to
escape this provision.
1t is hardly worth while to seek the
scientific solution Of the problem. Com
petition is SO popular that it will likely
continue in the face OF experience until
succeeded by some form of public own
ership. Its failure at Des Moines has
not lessened ita popularity and its ex-
tinction at Sioux City is regarded in
that town as a deplorable accident. The
community seemingly doesn't suspect
that 1t was no accident at all but the in
evitable result OF an unsclentific expert.

The fire that destroyed the horse
barns, swine sheds, cattle and sheep

money than the society care to use. A
suit is pending to recover the fire loss
from the Iowa Central railway which
is alleged to have set the fire by sparks
from a passing locomotive.

bly, iron and steel and lumber. Unset
tied conditions in the cntton trade and
a large failure, due mainly to .overstay-
ing the bill side OF this staple. has tend
cd to weaken quotations in several lines
of speculative business. Rather better
crop reports and the backward demand
for cotton goods are OF course partly re-
sponsible for the sharp break. but stat
istically the STABLE remains Very strong.
crop reports are. as q whole, good, ex-

it may be said that in the northwest
some much needed rains have fallen,
but the claim is made that more rnois-
ture is needed Winter wheat prospects
in the southwest remain good, but for
eign inquiry has been on u reduced
scale. Practically the entire corn crop
has been planted under favorable con-
ditions and reports from the oats crop
are likewise good. but slight shading
of quotations, due to backward export
business. is to be reported for these
cereals. Hog products are also lower
and the same is true Of cheese, petrol
cum. hides and leather. copper and a
number of iron and steel products
Perhaps the most favorable report
for the week as to the distributive
trade comes from the grocery business.

sugar, due. it is claimed to the en-

"Adviccs from the dry goods trade
