COTTON MARKET
 SCORES ADVANCE English Cables Were Much Better Than Expected

In the Last Few Minutes Realizing Based Prices of a Few Points, But Market Was Firmly
 Held at 12 to IS Higher.

New York, July 22.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of and points. under better English cables than expected. particularly in respect to spot cotton, which was reported in good de- mand at an advance of 14 points with sales of 11.o0O bales, American. These cables, in connection with rather high temperatures still reported in Texas, started shorts covering and there was also some demand from the brokers sup posed to represent the clique. chiefly for September. As the session proceeded the action of July attracted attention in con- nection with the approach of the last de- livery day in that month. Early in the morning there was a sale of July at 12.S0; in the afternoon 1t sold at 1300 not a single bale having passed hands in the interval and from 1900 1t was bid up to 1880, or ten points over the highest previous price for the season. It finally quoted 1920 bid. August sold up to 124S and September to 10s5 with the general list at the best prices of the session reaching a net level 15 to 60 points high CT. A feature in the afternon was the demand from Wall street for September and October, and all through the session while there was more or less bull sup port 1t looked to be mostly case of shorts covering. In the last few min utes there was a little realizing that eased prices off few points from the best, but the market was firmly held at 12 to 15 points higher. Sales were es- timated at 25O,O00 bales

To Test Insurance Legislation

Yhe expected move of the fire insur-
ance combine to prevent the operation
of the valued policy an ~anti-compact
laws passed by the last Legislature was
inaugurated at Pierre Monday, several
of the old-line fire insurance companies
serving a temporary injunction on the
state insurance commissioner restrain
ing him from putting the laws into
effect or taking any action by virtue of
their authority. The temporary injunc-
ton was granted by Judge Garland, Of
the United States district court, and is
returnable at Sioux Falls on Oct. Sd.
The agents of the insurance companies
declare that they will make a thorough
test of the new laws and the state is
preparing to do the same.

Increase Of 1903 .. SIS, 64S, $50
Figuring on the basis of 4o5, 600 popu-
lation this would give a per capita pro-
duction of about s307 for every man,
woman and child in the state, including
Indians-of whom there are about
10000.
South Dakota bears the u~ndisputed
distinction Of producing year after year
more wealth per capita than any other
state IN the union. The production Of
cereals, potatoes, hay, fodder, live stock,
butter, eggs, poultry, minerals and
other pfocncts, for the past three yeafx
has averaged nearly si2o, oOo, 900 ann
ally. Estimating the population, as
given by the last census at 4o1 900, the
per capita production is wei $500. The
actual per capita production in 1901 hy
the most conservative estimates was
1881 Coating the population at 4
per.sona to d family, it would give Tire
sn,n of 1928 as the average earning
for the head of each family or house
hold.
1t is small wonder then that South
Dakota is the most talked of state
between the two oceans, a young, hus-
Ting commonwealth that has lived
down all that was ever said against it
land that, mighty little. Today the
state ranks with the great agricultural
states of Iowa, Illinois, Kansas,
Nebraska and Minnesota, with the
added prestige of the famous Black
Hills mining district, the richest 100
square miles in the world" The Black
Hills alone will turn out $40, o0o, 900 Of
gold this year.

CURRENT EVENTS.
Expansion of the Currency,

GApdiirtOp Ok tnS %uIESiGys
The extent TO which the circulating
medium of United States has been ex-
banded in recent years is one of the
marvels of the time. The monthly cir
culation statement just issued by the
treasury department shows that the gen
eral stock of money Of all sorts in the
country ON August /, 1903, was 1885,
440, ia, which was a gain of 81, 900, 553
in one month. The amount of money
in actual circulation on August / was
80, 1885,, 0l8 ,496, a gain of nearly $1,000
COO in one month and of wei $12l 900,
in twelve months. On the basis Of the
estimated population of the country on
August | this was a per capita circula-
ton of $50. so which is the highest
figure ever touched.
In the middle of 1896, at the time of
Bryan's reign of terror, the per capita
circulation was $21. 10. 1t has, with a
few minor Interruptions, been increasing
ever since. Bryan's dafeat in Novem-
Der 1896, sent the circulation up above
this point at which it rested in the early
days of this canvass, when there was
some dread hat he would carry the
country. 1t went up again just after
the republicans entered powerin March
1897. The general tendency has been
upward VI since, though there was a
decline several times i'll those years, but
only slightly, and for a few weeks at a
time. The S29.55 at which the circula-
ton stood at the beginning of the pres
ent month will probably be exceeded at
the beginning of September. The chances
are that the $50 point in the expansion
will be reached before the end of the
calendar year 1903.
Moreover, o only has the circula-
ton increased much faster than the
populations, which is also growing
rapidly these days, but the gold ingre-
dent of it is growing much faster than
the rest Of the currency. OF coarse, in
these days of republican financial
stability and prosperity, ali sorts of
currency are as good as gold, but it is
well to keep the fact in mind that the
gold element of the circulating medium
is far more abundant than it ever was
before. Nobody is now saying hat the
currency is not adequate to the demands
of trade.

On Wednesday evening, Sept. 16,
at s o'clock, Notwithstanding the in
clemency OF the weather and almost
impenetrable darkness, a goodly num-
Der assembled at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. f. G. Palmer to Wit
ness the marriage of Grant g. Ray

beautiful strains of the wedding
march the happy couple, preceded
by their little nieces, Mabel and
Sadie Williams and Hazel and Edna
Palmer, descended the stairs and
occupied places before the double
window in the parlor under a canopy
of vines and ferns. The curtains
were decorated with ferns, also the
rug on which they stood. The cere-
mony was short and impressive and
congratulations were warm and
heartfelt. The bride was attired in
white briliiantine profusely trimmed
with white satin taffeta ribbon and
chiffon. The groom was in the con-
ventional black. The flower girls
were lovely in white china silk, and
carried pansies, the same as the
bride. Frappe, ice cream and cake
were served. The presents were
numerous and beautiful. The next
evening Mr.. and Mrs. T.. w. Ray
held a reception in honor of the
bride and groom and the brides
mother, Mrs. Mary j. BARLEY of
Tomah, Wis. From eighs to eleven
the house was filed to overlooking
