A tourist friend who has recently re-
turned from a trip through the south
Of Europe was telling the other day
of the large proportions assumed 10y

fishing lines in Spain since the decline
Of silk culture there. The grub is fed
on mulberry leaves as usual IN silk

by immersion in vinegar The sub
stance which would have formed the
cocoon is then drawn out from its body
In the form Of a thick silken thread
which is treated with chemicals and
afterward dried. These threads are
made up in bundles OF a hundred each
and the Spanish peasants travel Will
them along the shores of the Mediter
ranean as far as France. The bes

profit taking and to discourage pur-
chases on the long side. Were it not
for the confident undertone reflected
in good demand for bonds and sup
ported by the evidence Of complete
liquidation there would undoubtedly
be more aggressiveness among the
bears, who evidently fear mourning
any extended risks on the short side.
Professionals have sold the market to
only limited extent; for the resist
ance shown to unfavorable conditions
is surprising and exceedingly satisfac-
tory. At present the market is in a
waiting attitude, and greater activity
is not likely to develop until some of
the above uncertainties are cleared
away.
The money market, however, shows
little uneasiness over the situation,
both time and call money being plen-
uful. Even the Panama canal pay
ments do not disturb bankers here,
who recognize that preparations are
made in advance and that actual trans
fers will fall much short Of the total
pawn emit. AS for railroad earnings,
decreases must be expected in view OF
the severe weather, which both retards
traffic and increases expenses. The
Gould Pennsylvania dispute has, of
course, damaging possibilities, but the
struggle is likely to end in a compro-
mise, both parties being in a position
to injure but not defeat the other. Per-
haps the most unsettling feature is
the cutting Of grain rates on the east
ern trunk lines. Whether this is really
| due to a falling off in business or not
does not yet appear; but should it con-
tinue 1t is likely to impose strain up-
| on the community-of-interest idea,
| which worked so beautifully when traf-
| fic was plenty, but remains to be tested
! when traffic is scant. Such understand
ings are always difficult to maintain
| when there are more offers than seek
ers Of freight unless the community-of-
| interest Idea has effected a revolution
in human nature, which is quite i'm
probable.
Present fluctuations are dependent
almost entirely upon roomy traders
operations. The public are not in the
market to any great extent, and herein
lies the latter's principal safety.
Stocks, generally speaking, are in
strong hands. and while big bankers
show disposition to support the mar
ket, probably to facilitate the market
ing OF new issues, there is no DISPOSE.
ton whatever among the real leaders
to encourage speculation. On the con.
trary, there Is an evident determine,
ton to prevent an occurrence OF the
wild plunging operations which char.
acterized 1902 and 1908. The policy OF
our leading bankers just now appears
to be that of acting as a steadyine
power, at least until the financial and
Industrial interests Of the country have
had a chance to recuperate from the
reverses of last year. 1t is just such
treatment as this that the financia
; markets require.

WAR And MARKETS
HENRY cLEWs TELLS OF Ell
FEcTs OF ORIENTAL
STRUGGLE.
Stock Market Confused by Multiplied.
ty of lnfluences-The Effect Upon
Russia, 1t Is Feared, Will Be Disas-
trous.
(By Henry Clews.)

New York, Feb. 22.-The stock mar.
ket acts as if confused by the multi
plicity Of influences. Chief of these, Of
course, is the war and its potentiali-
ties. If the struggle is confined to
Japan and Russia, as it probably will
be, it's effect upon the worlds financial
markets will not be serious. But those
who control the purse strings in Eu-
rope are much more sensitive about
the effect of the war than financial
leaders in the United States. While
Japanese success appears to be regard
ed with satisfaction throughout the
civilized world, there are those who
are apprehensive of the effect of defeat
upon the Russian empire, which Is
weak financially, industrially and polit-
ically. Russia is ruled by car Of
highly humane purposes, but, unfortu-
nately, 1t is only too evident that he Is
surrounded by bureaucracy which is
entirely at variance with his ideals and
beyond his control. Further, Russia
Is seething with discomfort, arising
from misgovernment and the corrup-
tion which prevails among the official
classes. It is not easy, therefore, to
calculate the effect Of military and ma
val reverses upon the Russian govern
ment, especially should they mean, as
now appears probable, the driving back
of Russia to the Amur river. Impor-
tant developments in Russian affairs
of more or less revolutionary charac-
ter are therefore quite within the range
of possibilities, If not probabilities,
should Japan continue on her victori-
Gus course. Added to this uncertain
ty there is the fear of an uprising this
spring in the Balkans, the outcome Of
which is entirely beyond calculation;
SO that the foreign situation is far from
being assuring.
New York Market Safer.
These contingencies, however, can
only affect this market indirectly
through the foreign bourses. The To-
cal market for the time being is chief.
ly under the control of the home con.
ditions. These, 1t must be adpitted,
are not entirely satisfactory. The ap,
parent friction between the Gould and
Pennsylvania interests; the heavy
new capital commitments Of the big
railroad systems and the certainty Of
more to follow; the commencement Of
cutting on grain rates; the reports Of
decreased earnings on some roads
the disturbing consequences of the col
lapse in cotton; the effect of the Pan
anna canal payment upon the money
market and the uncertainty concerning
the approaching Northern Securities
daoiaan have contributed4to encourage

LOVE FINDS A WAY
IN SPITE OF OBSTACLES YOUNG
MISSOURI COUPLE ARE
MARRIED.
Were Headed off At Bloomfield Be.
cause of Parental Objection But Fin
ally Proved That They Were Both
OF Age and Received a License.

Bloomfield, February, 22.-(SpeciaD
- That where there's will there's
a way and that "all the world loves
a lover" were both given ample
proof in Bloomfield Saturday by the
marriage in spite of difficulties of R.
e. Fisher and Miss Mabel Hall, and
the interest taken in their efforts and
their final success by scores of Bloom
field people who had learned Of their
mission to Bloomfield. Both the
young people lived at Clarence, Mo-,
and in addition to being lovers they
are cousins.
Thereby hangs a tale. The laws of
Missouri prohibit the marriage of first
cousins, as do also those of Kansas,
where the young people had decided
to live. However, the laws of Iowa
are more liberal and present no bar to
such union. That was not the only
difficulty to overcome, however, for
the young womans parents objected
very strenuously to the marriage.
First Met With Refusal.
AS is so often the case when the
parents are obdurate, the two took the
matter into their own hands and de-
cided to steal march upon their eld-
ers. They arrived in Bloomfield Fri
day and Immediately made application
for a marriage license. Here they met
their first obstacle. however, for the
clerk of the district court showed
them a telegram, signed by the sher-
if of Macon county, Co., notifying the
officials Of Davis county not to issue a
license and to arrest the young cou-
Dple.
Both Mr.. Fisher and Miss Hall insist
ed that they were of legal age to mar
ry and that there was no bar to their
being welded according to the laws OF
Iowa, but the clerk refused to issue a
license until affidavit should be made
by some outside party.
Lovers Win Out.
Then ensued a council OF war and
the result was that a telegram was
sent to Allie Hutton, a friend OF Mr..
Fishers who resides near the Iowa
Missouri line in Davis county. Mr.
Hutton fastened to Bloomfield and
made affidavit to the effect that Mr.
Fisher is % years of age and his bride
to-be-if-possible just two years young
/ err. The license was issued and Rev
M. Downing, the minister of more thar
4 a thousand weddings, was called tc
! perform the ceremony. No time was

MORE DOUBLE TRACK
BURLINGTON CONCENTRATES
IMPROVEMENTS THIS SUMMER
WEST OF CHARLTON.
Engineers Are Now at Work Between
Indianola junction and Troy and
People Expect to See Work Begin
EarIy-WilI Do Away With Towers.

Charlton, Feb. 22-(Special.) y The
Burlington company is contemplating
the expenditure of several thousands
of dollars for double tracking the line
between Indianola Junction and Troy,
west of the city. A gang of engineers
is now at work in that vicinity and it
is understood that the object is to sur
vey line which will do away with the
steep grades and sharp curves with
which the engineers now have to con-
tend This piece of track, four miles
in length, is one of the worst now left
on the Burlington system in Iowa and
it is directly in line with the other i'm
provements to double track this and
straighten it. The work, though small
in comparison to some of that which
has been done by the Burlington in the
past few years, is big undertaking
and will afford work to a large number
of men, 1t will probably be started
during the coming spring, in order that
it may be finished before the ground
freezes next winter.
| Will Cut Out Towers.
! When this new double track is put
into commission the company will be
enabled to do away with its towers at
Indianola Junction, just west of Chari--
ton, and at Troy. These are now made
necessary by the fact that the road is
single track between the two points.
