MORE SCHOOL ROOM.

The growth of the city involves the
public with new responsibilities, and
there is none more important than
that of providing adequate school IA
cilities for the children. Greater Os-
kaloosa, which has been expanding in
many ways for the past two years, has
also had a wonderful increase in it's
school population, and now finds its
school houses filled to their capacity,
and in some instances crowded. The
little folks must be accommodated and
cared for, and the best means to the
end is a proposition that now con
fronts the school board, and a ques-
tion that will seek settlement at the
school election early in March. The
Board has in mind the provision of a
building fund rather than the issuance
of bonds. This may make the tax a
little more for few years but will not
burden the future with bonded in
debtedness and yearly interest cou-
pons to meet. One plan of enlarging
is to build an addition to the Fifth
ward school, and start the erection of
a new building in South Side" on lots
recently purchased for school pur-
poses. 1t is figured that $4,000 WI
be needed as soon as that sum can be
collected in the regular process Of
taxation The unsightly addition to
First ward building has led to a con-
siderable opposition to any more inn
provements of this kind, preference
being given to new buildings, even
though it may be a little more expen-
sive. More room is needed-this fact
is patent-and the best method of OBJ
tanning it is matter our people should
think about and decide intelligently
at the coming election.

of what avail would it be to lower
the tariff schedule on any article un-
less it was lowered enough to allow

GRAIN TRADE BETTEf
MARKETS RULE STRONG, WITH
HIGHER PRICES ALL AROUND
DiscouraSina Crop Advices From the
Northwest Cause Strength in Wheat,
With Prices Constantly Growing
Slight Reaction on Realizing.

CHICAGO. Aug. There was much
Improvement in grains and provisions,
the market ruling strong throughout
the session and closing with September
wheat 1 3-4@1 Use higher; corn up
1-4c, oats 5-S@3-4c better, while pro-
visions showed a gain throughout the
list of from 10c to IL lie.
Wheat was especially strong under
the influence of reports of wheat
blight in South Dakota, and generally
discouraging crop advices from the
Northwest. Buying orders were plen-
tiful from the start, and prices grew in
strength as the session advanced. The
opening was about steady, September
being a shade lower to a shade higher,
70 1-2@78 5-8c. but was good local de-
mand, increased by buying orders from
st. Louis and the Northwest. and there
was gradual advance throughout the
day. with now and then slight reaction
on realizing. Prices took a final squirt
upwards within the last few minutes
of trading, and the close was at the
top. September being 1 3-4@1 7-8c
higher, at 80 3-8c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 337,500 blu. Primary receipts
were 622,500 blu, against 1,051, 402 bu a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of 159 cars. which. with
local receipts of 80 cars, 20 of contract
grade, made total receipts for the three
points of 249 cars. against 246 cars last
week and 459 cars year ago.
Too Cool for Corn.
Corn was helped largely by the
strength in wheat although it was a
little too cool for the quick develop
ment of the crops. There was a fair
trade. but the market was not as ac-
tive as it had been of late. Receipts
continued light. with little prospect of
much increase in the movement. The
close was strong, with September up
lac. at SO 1-2c. after selling between
SIC and 81 1-2c. Local receipts were
145 cars, with eleven of contract grade.
There was fair trade in oats. and
prices were strong in sympathy with
better tone in other grains. Some of
the big houses had considerable stuff
for sale. but commission houses had
plenty of buying orders, which sus-
tanned prices. After selling between
33 1-8c and "a 1-4c, September closed
i5-8@3-4c higher, at 34@34 1-Sc. Local
receipts were 25S cars.
The chief feature in provisions was
the light offerings. With good de-
mand for ribs, and helped by the
strength in grains, the price of hog
products ruled higher from the start.
Shorts were quite active buyers late in
the day. The. close was strong, with
September pork lee higher. at 1870;
September lard was up II &c. at $7.95;
and ribs were Zoe higher. at $S.07 IL.
Estimated-receipts for Monday: Wheat,
los cars; corn, 200 cars; oats, 215 cars;
hogs, $1,000 head.

Bank Statement Analysed.
The increase in loans reported by
the bank statement was of more exact
nature as much had been made by the
speculative element Of a supposed
heavy contraction to-be shown. 1t is
evident that the repayment of the
Pennsylvania notes, which was ex-
pected to reduce the loan account or
the banks, has been made in part to
the trust companies. The call for pay
ment of $5000,000 on the International
Mercantile Marine Underwriting and
of $500 900 on the Louisville & Nash
vile bond underwriting had to be pro-
vided for.
Bankers also report that there Is
growing up a large seaSonable demand
for mercantile credits. It is minated
furthermore that there has been very
large loans to trust companies during
the week The weeks stock market
liquidation has been admittedly very
heavy, and the above reasons are ad-
vanced to explain why the i1quldatlon
is not reflected in the loan item OF the
Associated banks.
Buying as Well as Selling.
1t must be remembered also that
liquidation involves buying as well as
selling, and some of the banks have
been taking up stocks for their GUS
toners at what they consider advan-
tageous prices. The selling on the
bank statement was not pursueA and
the market steadied and closed life

Prices of stocks have recovered

sentiment has improved on the whole.

The market held steady Friday and in the

the shorts who had held out all along for

came in On the buying side. There was
much on which to advance the wheat and
it was legitimate advance, except for the
