Twice Last Night.
The Saengerbund bowling team is grad

position in the District Bowling League
that they will shortly be counted out of
the running for the pennant. At the be-
ginning of the season, and for short time
thereafter. there were bowling experts who
claimed for them the best chance to win
the championship. and thereby. come into
permanent possession OF the handsome sill
yer trophy that has been played for by
the league teams for a number of years.
The cup has twice been held for year at
the Saengers' club house, and by the con-
ditions of the Gun contest, it becomes the
permanent property Of the team winning
It three times. This the Saengers' can hardly
hope to do without waiting for another

concentrated. and the steaoylng power result
ine from this process is highly significant
Apparently the powers in control are abe 10
hold the market impregnable against all or
binary assaults and while this situation lasts
Judgment must be directed accordingly. AT
the same time stocks are being slowly scat
tered and the large sums Of money seeking in
vestment may enable the market leaoers 70
successfully tighten their burden If prosperity
enough 10 believe il will. But the business
situation is sp0tty. Great activity is apparent
in the iron trade where the physical revolu-
ton in railroad standards is causing an alb
normal demand for iron. There is also great
1rran5 al t,rofifsble prices for many articles of
food and clothing. Prices for these are the
highest IN ten years and people are spending
vastly more on lUXuries and commodities ap-
pealing TO esthetic tastes than usual Econ

rule and how long this will continue no one

ton We will soon begin to visibly see the
effect OF the corn crop failure and the conse-
quent loss of freight to lines traversing the
corn belt AS a result prices Of cattle feed
have risen abnornally- Another blow is the
shrfnkage in the cotton crop. which must ad-
versely affect important sections Of the South.
Hieh prices and scarcity are not conducive to
continuous prosperity IN spite Of a delusion to
the contrary which some people entertain.
Still another unfavorable feature has been the
declines in our exports, which, though perhaps
not permanent. indicate a cessation of the eX-
cessive trade balances which have been fruit
fIl source of self-congratulation. Our exports
Of copper declined about SO, GOO, 600 during
the first ten months Of 1901 and our exports of
in the same period. Such factors these can
not be ignored. They are signs Of our being
al or near the top and common prudence die
tates caution in transactions entering into the
future.
