The Tightening of the Money Market
 May Get Gold From Abroad.

New York, Aug. 3O.-Money condI- tions governed to-day's stock market Call loans at per cent, time loans showing hardening tendency, and the threatened Obliteration of last weeks low bank reserves were conditions that could not be ignored. Moreover it was early apparent that the banks were not giving their patrons a chance to evade the issue, number of loan renewals
 being reported at per cent. The for elgn exchange ituation, with a further neaVy decline in demand terling to 483'25 caued increased perplexity. This IS almost on parity with the rate of last April, when Secretary Shaw was induced to Facilitate" gold imports. The local banks reported a further loss to the sub-treasury, the total thus far aggregating over $4,0O0,O00 or within $250,OOO of their free resources, as dis closed by the last bank statement. In- teresting features of the week were the private shipments of gold to Canada in 1alrly largeamounts, and heavy drafts on our banks yesterday and to-day in connection with the recent Philadelphia affair. The showing of the Bank of England, which maintains its low dis count rate, offered some encourage ment, reserves increasing over $4000,- oOe, and comparing more than favora- bly with that institutions exhibit in the corresponding week of the last two years. Our market got its early strength from London, which reported generally higher prices for American and heavy buying orders for this ac- count. In fact, our buying of stocks in Lohdon, where money conditions have peen such as to make such speculative ventures easier, has been a feature of 'lle week. Business here started off With rush and materially high prices all through the active list The great est gains were made by the Hill issues, Ghloh Pacific, Baltimore & Ohio, and sT. Paul, these advancing from l 1-2 10 l-2 points The market became very heaVy in the last hour when call money advanced only per cent, prices dropping from 1 to points all around, and closing weak at the days lowest Quoldtlons. In some quarters there was a disposition to attribute this in a measure to the possibilities arising from the reception of Bryans speech in me evening. Railway returns included that of the Reading system, showing

But Sterling is Very Low-London',
 Grip on Gold May Relax--The Meme,

 But Bulls Run Up U. P. and s. F.. On
 tario and Other stocks-The Days
 Gossip.
 Yesterdays stock market was indu- enced by the tightening of the money market.
 Call money rose to 8 per cent. and may go good deal higher.
 The relief looked for from Europe by means of gold imports does not materialize vest. London has a firm grip on her gold despite the remark able drop in sterling to 488 1-4, drop of fully one per cent. this week,
 Yesterdays high rate for money is an unusual one for this season, and fore shadows stringency equal to that of a year ago in case relief is not secured by means of European gold or treas ury aid. No doubt the conditions, as they appear now, are somewhat artif1- cial.
 The rise in call money, which touch- ed 8 per cent, was in anticipation of a brisk demand for funds to-day to carry over until next Tuesday.
 Stocks were very feverish. There was violent advance at the opening in Union Pacific, Great Northern, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, and St. Paul. Then stocks went down as money rates advanced.
 While Amalgamated Copper is one of the most popular stocks on the list, traders have become tired of carrying it. since it's swing has been recently within a rather narrow range.
 Canadian Pacific was very strong over it's fine July statement and it's fine statement for the year.
 Taking tip the low priced shares such as Chesapeake and American Locomotive-wth varied talk about increased dividends, was generally re- garded as sign that many of the higher priced stocks were near top and were being distributed.
 Those who have been watching the movement of Ontario and Western say that it originated in London, where a campaign in the stock was started on the basis of a higher dividend. This was to be secured, if is said, by routing all of the New Havens coal traffic over the Ontario and Western. In- siders claim that the movement is en- tirely a speculative one and that stock holders will have to be content with the present rate of dividend.
 The majority of the time money now being offered comes from French bank CTS. They have been putting a lot of 50 and 90 days money into the mark ct, while the local bankers have been holding back time money and trying to get their best rates for call loans. U. P. made another high record, reaching 191 There was strong talk that 1t would rise to 200 soon.

CLAY COUNTY is having contest
over their proposed new court house
similar to the one we had seven or
eight years ago. They are submitting
TO the voters proposition for special
tax, the same as we did, but they have
more money in their general fund to
start with then we aid. Opposition to
the project has developed in the CEN
trail and northern portions of the
county, for the same specious reasons
as here. We wish these north end
voters of Clay county could confer TO-
day with our north end voters. Not
one of them today but what is proud ot
our new court house and glad it was
secured even without or against their
vote. Better make it unanimous and
get your much needed courthouse
while everything is prosperous and it
can be paid for before anybody know s
it or feels it. ,ts5

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT FRENCH
calls our attention to the fact that,
under the rulings of the courts in this
state, any elector, no matter how
ignorant or unqualified, can hold the
Office OF county superintendent oil
schools. The trainers OF the constitu-
tion intended to require certain qualifi-
cations of those who hold this import
ant Office, and mad verteatly they made
u conflict in the constitution, which
left us without any requirements. The
last legislature passed resolution sub
mitting to the people n proposed
amendment to Section Z, Ar cle OF
the constitution, to the effect that the
legislature shall be author,z ID to pre-
scribe the qualifications for county
superintendent Of schools. Every
voter should vote ''Yes' ON this
amendment, which is the ii $. one on
the ballot.

The republican state and county
ticket from top to bottom is worthy OF
a large and enthusiastic endorsement.
Practically no campaign has been
made in this county, not because the
7 eople were not interested but because
they were so well satisfied with the
situation. Vote next Tuesday to con-
tinue this happy state Of affairs and
thus give Pres. Roosevelt and his
policies such Ii hearty endorsement
that it will go long ways toward
setting the pace for the presidential
election two years hence.

THE last legislature, it should be
remembered made liberal appro-
priatlon for the erection of building
and the purchase of the machinery for
binder. twine plant at the state
penitentiary and the building is now
being built. The binder twine
amend ment to be voted upon next
Tuesday is simply to provide an
operating fund to keep the plant agoing.
Unless you vote Yes on this PROPOSE
ton YOU vote in favor OF making useless
a lot of state property already pro-
vided for aud in favor OF continuing
still longer in power the binder twine
trust. This plant will not come in
competition with any South Dakota
industry or product, will make for the
farmers good market for a lot OF
material now going TO waste, will save
for them nice little sum every year
on twine and is an act of real philan-
throphy in thus providing for the
prisoners a useful and profitable
emplovment. There is every reason
and good reason for large Affirmative
vote on this proposition.

His course commends him to the re.
