Provisions.

The market stands about the same. both
here and at Chicago This market is very
dull. with ample supplies of Hams and Bacon
The Chicago letter Of Bolton. De Ruyter &
Co. says: Provisions dull and moderately
steady Advance in Wheat steadied the mar
ket some, but there enough scattered sell
ing to keep it down to its closing prices
Very little in the way of outside business and
little disposition on the part of local traders
to enter the market. The moderate stocks of
Provisions is helping the bulls. We do not
see anything in the market at present"

ADVERTISEMENTS.
SMALL INVESTORS COMBINE CAPITAL
Pooling An
ombIne ReaTzIng Enormous Profits.

One Of the noteworthy moves in the financial
world that is attracting great deal of atten-
ticn is the pooling Of interests by small invest
ors ST. Louis firm, the National Securities
Co., is the prime mover In the plan This
Company receives the money of thousands of
small investors and combining it forms gi-
gantIc sums which enable it to successfully
transact enormous deals that pay handsome
profits to the individual members of the pool.
This is another phase Of the Community Of In
terest Idea made so popular by j. Pierpont
Morgan; the only difference is that this Com
pany is composed of an unlimited number of
small investors, while Mr.. Morgan's companies
are composed OF a limited number of rich men.
The National is the first company organized on
this new plan, but because Of its wonderful
success it is but question Of short time un-
til many more will enter the field. 1t is
well known fact that the man of money has
thousands Of opportunities to make profitable
investments that never come to the man Of
small means In popular language, lit takes
money to make money" BY this successful
plan Of combination the small investor with
from fifty to a few hundred dollars secrresl
the same opportunities that come to the mani
of millions. and as as consequence realizes the
same enormous per cent Of profit on his invest
ment however small it may be- 1t can be
safely said that more marked departure than
this plan was never made in the world Of
money and those who take advantage of the
opportunities offered by this company will real
ize more on their money in week than they
would under ordinary condition. in year.
The general plan upon which the company is
onerated does not materially differ from that
employed by the National Banks. the invest
ors Of the company occupying the same posi-
tion as the stockholders of the bank. Each
and every so days dividend is declared and
each investor receives draft for his profits
