YESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET 1

Business Dccreases--Declinfng Tenden-
 ~cy Contested by Pushing Up Selected
 List.
 New York, Oct. Robustness decreas- ed at the stock exchange again to-day, although it did not fall back to the low level of Monday. The market contin- ued to show tendency to immobility or to very narrow fluctuations, with a disposition to return to a given level. As there was some early pressure against the market to-day, the declin- ing tendency was contested by pushing up selected list of stocks. American Locomotive was the feature of the day, and the indifference of the general mar ket to so conspicuous a feature makes 8 striking demonstration of the impas- siveness of the speculation. This stock has enjoyed a considerable advance of

late, but its movement came to a stop yesterday with the announcement of changes in the directorate. Renewed importance seemed to be attached to these changes to-day, which eliminated a conspicuous stock market element from the board by the substitution of General Electric a nd United States Steel representatives. There was abun- dant news also of the enormous re-
 quirements Of railroads for locomotives, and, in fact, all kinds of equipment. With occasional setbacks Locomotive made successive jumps on very heavy absorption, the extreme advance reach ing 51a points. Other railroad equip ment stocks and the electrical industri- als showed moderate sympathy. Read ing also made show Of strength at one time at the first resistance to the
 depression. and current reports of fur ther extensive combination of anthra- cite interests were used to help the stock.
 These supporting points in the mar ket were of very moderate effect in contesting the general sagging tenden- icy. The disprovaI of several of the days rumors pointed to operations by a bear element in the trading. These included reports of the illness of J. P. Morgan and of financial difficulties caused by the collapse of Chicago Sub way stocks. The reports were suffi- ciently definite to call for published ref utationS.
 London was an active seller here, prompted by the doubtful money out look The statement of the countrys foreign trade fer September threw light on the prevailing strength of foreign exchange. The value of imports rose more than $1S,000,0 ,000 over the preceding September, to $102, ,1SS, ,0S1, a record for months imports. At the same time the value of exports increased less than $2,00O,000, leaving the excess value of exports of only S,S67, ,791, while the trade balance in our favor for Septem-
 Der of last year amounted to over $5O,- 00O,00O
 There were no changes of importance in the local money market. The an- inouncement of the closing of a national
 bank in Allegheny made bad impress sion on sentiment. The closing was easy, with the general list at about the lowest

Mrs. West Of Pottawattamie
county and her daughter Mrs.
McClain Of Illinois was visiting
Mr.. and Mrs. Benton last Mon
day.
We were very sorry to hear
that Mr.. and Mrs. Hester of
Snyder Hollow have lost their
little twins. The bereaved par
ents have our most sincere SYM
pathy.
We acknowledge a pleasant
call from Mr.. Clover, Roy Glow
er and his talking machine a
few evenings ago. Mr.. Clover
gave us an account of his trip
to the west, which was quite
interesting.
Thescandal case in this local
ity seems to be settled all
around as we see the main ones
in the case together last Sun
day.
Mrs. John Darting gave US a
pleasant call last Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benton visited
Mrs. West Tuesday.
We freely acknowledge that
Coles Hollow can beat us talk
ing, and they don't need a talk
ing machine either. Well, we
never could think of much to
say.

Past and Present,

We wonder sometimes when
we contemplate the past and
consider the present. In read
ing the history of Rome, Greece
and the Oriental countries, we
wonder at the simplicity of the
people, and the many disadvan-
tages under which they lived,
but we do not stop to contem-
plate our own condition, as a
nation, one hundred years ago.
Intact, during our existance,
we can remember the marvel
Gus Improvements in farming,
mechanics, and labor in general.
The farmers used to plant corn
by hand and covert with a noe;
SOW small grain from a sack
thrown over the shoulder, and
when the grain ripened, cut it
with a reap hook, and tramp
out the grain with horses, or
beat it out with a flail, clean it
up with a wind mill run by hand
and take it TO mill in sacks on a
horse-cut hay with a sythe,
and rake it up by hand, stack it
with a hand fork; now we plant
corn with a corn planter, culti-
vate it witha riding sulky pillow,
gather it by machinery, she'll it
by a steam shelter, and send it
to market by steam car loads
cut hay by machinery, reap the
small grain with harvesters,
thresh it by steam, and sell it
by car loads, and buy our fani-
iy flour, and instead of driving
our fat hogs to market we ship
them by car, and buy for fami-
ly use the bacon cured by pack
ers, instead of killing our own
meat for family use, as in the
olden days.
Then our wives and mothers
ddi the cooking at a chimney
fireplace, using the frying pan,
killet and bake oven for cook
.g utentials- now they cook
I'm fine steel range heaters, OF
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1905-11-16

with gas stoves, and if victuals
do not taste so good now it may
be from the fact, that as boys
we were alway hungry.
Then our mothers spun the
yarn, wove the cloth, cut and
made our clothing, and while
the fit may not have been just
as artistic then as now, they
covered honest bodies and were
just as warm then as now.
Then our fathers tanned the
leather and made the family
foot were, (boots were then un-
known,) and the man who had a
few head of fat cattle he found
a market at home for them.-
Travel was by horse, wagon, or
the old numbering stage, at a
rate of travel of about six miles
per hour; now we go in steam
car at rate of fifty to eighty
miles per hour then it took
from four to seven months to
make the trip from New York
City to London or Paris, now
we make in about seven days.
Then letter postage was Ct, II!
lSa and 25 cents, payable by
either sender OF receiver, now 9
cents, prepaid takes a letter to
any point in the United States.
Postal cards were unknow n
until the French-German war
i'm 1901.
Then the photograph, tele-
graph, telephone, graphaphone,
electric and gas lights was un-
known, now we talk by light
ming, sing by the graphophone,
write by electricity and travel
by steam, and will soon be fly
ing through the air then we
had the tallow dip, or the old
iron lamp now we have the
modern gas or electric lights,
and the tallow candle or the old
iron lamp at this time would be
a curiosity. Tallow in the olden
time was the only means of Sc
curing light, and the iron
lamp with a rag wick and some
lard, was the comman light for
the home, and many a bright
boy secured his education by a
pine knot fire in place of the
electric light of!the present day.,
and became great man with
out ever hearing of electricity.
All this shows that we, as a
people, have progressed Won
derfully in art, science, and lit
erature, during the past hum
dred years, but with all our adj
vancement, the question still
remains: Have we, as a nation,
increased in virtue, honesty,
happiness in proportion to our
advancement in the arts? Is it
not good sometimes to stop and
consider "where are we at?''
1t is we'll tocompare notes on
these questions so vital to the
welfare of the present and fu-
tlre generation of our peoble.
