IN MEMORY OF OLD SOLDIERS
The National Memorial University at
Mason CITY. Iowa.

The National Memorial University at
Mason City, Iowa.
The first and main building of the Ma
tional Memorial University, being built at
Mason City, Iowa, solely by contributions
from the Sons of Veterans of the United
States and allied organizations, has just
been completed. The structure, erected
at a cost of 100000, occupies central
position in the 160-acre site on Patriots
Hill. The other buildings will be grouped
around it and it is expected that the in
stitution will be thrown open in the fall
of 1903. The National Civil War Mu-
scum is expected TO have the greatest
collection of war relics in the United
States. Another building will be Barton
Hall, named in honor of Miss Clara Bar
ton. of the American National Red Cross
Society The National Alliance of Daugh-
ters of Veterans will pay for this and for
the women's college. There will be an
endowment fund of 81 .O00. 900. The mis-

~. The first half of the year
UllICdQu has passed. This marks the
IcIoSo Of six r,,nnth. "a nro-.-

close Of six months of pros
perity as great as the country has ever
known. Ii has been a time for the ex-
pioitation Of new plans. new enterprises
have been born. new business ventures
undertaken, while in the old established
lines there has been a general expansion.
1t has been a period of commercial ag-
gressiveness. Of easy money affording op-
portunity for the development of new
country, the enlarging of industrial
plants, for betterments by the railroads.
Railroad earnings, during this zine,
have shown increases really surprising.
and especially so to the many who in
their most sansuine view had not hoped
that the roads would do much more than
maintain the high figures of the preced-
ing year. The first four months We're
strikingly free from anything of an ad-
verse nature, present or prospective. nor
was there any change until the growing
feeling of dissatisfaction on the part OF
the labor element began to Cloud the in
dustrial sky.
Commodity prices have been more ir-
regular than in the preceding week. This
is ordinarily a dull time. yet the volume
OF trade in general merchandise holds NJ
we'll. Lumber prices are firm. Woolens
| and raw wool prices hold steady. textiles
in general little lower. cotton stronger
by tritie. Iron and steel are firm as
ever with demand pressing and business
still being booked into next year. Cold
and continued rainy weather has been a
dra wback TO retail trade at country
points.
With other grains advancing. the wheat
professional assumes that should the
weather continue unfavorable wheat l.
bound to do better, and is buying moda--
ately on this theory, as wheat and corn
are selling only &c apart. and wheat
should be worth more money, based ON
the present prices of coarse grains.
The zoe price for. corn, which the en-
tire West has looked for for a year, was
realized Saturday. II the bull leaders
in the market are correct. this price may
look comparatively low with future val
ues, as some are predicting 90c.
Cattle and hogs sold at the highest
prices of the year last week, and cattle
brought more than At any time in twenty
years. 1t was natural with live hogs
selling close to IS that product should
sympathize. The RICHEST prices Of the
season were made. and the close record

interests are inclined to leave provisions

is not so attractive as September wheat

| New York. |

Foreign markets were
NV lOlk. badly disarranged by the
sudden illness OF the King,
and there was much liquidation prior to
the closing OF British exchanges from
wednesday afternoon to Monday morn
lug. Domestic financial conditions are
exceptionally satisfactory and trade is
well maintained, although low tempera-
lures interfered with the distribution of
midsummer specialties. Manufacturing
operations have increased in activity. es-
peciaily in the iron and steel industry and
textile production. while the constructive
work on new buildings and bridges is
very heavy. Labor difficulties have not
improved in the anthracite coal region,
but numerous settlements have been ef-
fected elsewhere. Railway earnings thus
far reported for June exhibit an average
Increase of 4.6 per cent over last year and
III per cent over 1900"
X. u. Dun Il Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade thus sums up the industrial situa-
ton. Continuing. the Review says:
Most OF the blast furnaces that were
stopped by the scarcity Of anthracite coal
have resumed with coke, Of which the
ovens nave established new records of
output, and shipments have been sull
larger owing to the stocks accumulated
during the car shortage. Despite the
vigorous pig iron production. numerous
contracts have been placed abroad. and
still the machine shops, manufacturers of
stoves and implements. and consumers
generally are seeking deliveries. Struc-
turai shapes of steel and all forms of rail-
way equipment continue to lead the mar
ket, orders in these lines running far into
next year. Bars and sheets are the least
active divisions Of the market, but even
in these there is no tendency TO weak
ness. Higher freights have not material
ly checked importations. and it is report
ed that large structural mill in Ger
many has sold its output for this year to
American consumers.

GREAT TREASURY SURPLUS.
Figures Show an Exceedingly Pros

Uncle sam has had good year. On
the last day of the fiscal year the treas
ury figures showed a surplus for the
twelve months of nearly S90.OOO,O0O. Not
withstanding the large appropriations 10y

Uncle Sam is carrying on it is only nee

taxes made by the last Congress, the to-
tai receipts of the government during the
