Come and Gone.

Gollmar Bros big show arrived at an
early hour Friday morning. They came
from Watertown where they showed the
day previous. By o'clock there was
throng of people at the depot to watch
the unloading process which of itself
was quite interesting. Shortly after the
breakfast hour young and old went to
the grounds north of town to witness
the work of pitching the tents. With
clock-like work every employee of the
circus was at his post and as the wagon
loads arrived they were quickly unload
ed and in short time the tented city
was realized. The parade at 10 o'clock
was quite a feature and was witnessed
by large crowd of town people. 1t was
an ideal circus day, the weather being
all that could be desired. The atten-
dauce at the afternoon performance
| was not as large as was anticipated, but
the evening made up for the shortage
and Gollmar Bros. were we'll satisfied
with their patronage here.
Both performances gave entire salts
faction and every body had good word
| for Gollmar Bros, and without question
it was the largest and best show that
| ever visited this city. The actors and
actresses were artists and perfect ladies
and gentlemen. Every act on the pro-
gram possessed meritorious features, and
many new ones despite the oft-heard re-
mark that ''you see one circus you see
them ALL" The acrobats, the high wire
artists, the aerialists and the equestrians
were all fully as good as are to be seen
with the largest shows travelling. The
menagerie contained quite collection
of rare wild beasts and was viewed with
great interest.
A feature worthy of note was the alb
sence of fakirs and grafters that usually
follow up the Gig shows. Everything
passed off quietly and there were no &C
cidents during the time the show was in
town. Gollmar Bros. look to the safety
and pleasure of their patrons and should
they ever return to Edgerton they will
undoubtedly be we'll patronized.

lict of the late DR.. B. Burdick. and
mother of Mrs. George W. Currier, died
at her home in this city. after lingering
illness. She had been Frustrated much
of the time for the past year with stom-
ach trouble and heart ailment, and lat
terly her malady had taken dropsical
turn. She was a patient sufferer for
many months. Decedent was Sc years
old last September. Her maiden name
was Caroline Francis Sheldon. She was
born in Rhode Island in 1919, and was
married in 1912. Her husband died five

Gilbert q cIay's Market Letter.

Options On Liverpool declined on selling
by longs who had previously bought on
the reaction theory, owing to the repeated
rains over the cotton belt. Spot quota
lions were unchanged; sales amounting to
5000 bales.
No new features have arisen to shake
the market out of the lethargy into which
1t has so deeply fallen nor has a more
general interest on the part of outside
speculation, been manifested, despite the
fact that activity at this, the critical
period OF the crop. could reasonably be
expected together with a wider scope of
price changes. Thus, the market left
alone, trading is almost entirely confined
to the scalplng element at the ringside
whose opinions as a rule are not fixed
but change with the advent of each new
influence of the weather. The short IN
terest has displayed of late some uneasi-
ness owing to the CONSTANT and widely
distributed rainfall that has visited the
cotton growing district, and through their
covering has lent a certain amount of
steadiness to the markets undertone,
which has at times been misconstrued
but the majority continue to stick to the
theory that wet Julys are beneficial to
the growing plant and that eventually
crop prospects will be the more promising
on account of the present moisture.

STOCK MARKET IS
DULL AND NARROW
No Serious Selling Pressure
Met Small Advance
TRADERS VERY CAUTIOUS
Taking of Profits Finally Left Prices
Close to the Level at Which
They Stood On Tues
day Night.

New York, July 14.-No significance can
be attached to the sluggish and incon-
sistent movement of prices in today's
dull and narrow market A favorable
bank statement was generally expected
and board room traders attempted to
advance prices on the prospect. No Sc
rious selling pressure was met on the
small advances. But there was no fol-
low up to the movement and the traders
operated only with the utmost caution,
amounting to timidity. When they at
tempted to release profits on early sales
before the close they found the market
as bare of real absorbtive power as 1t
was of selling pressure. A condition of
profound neglect was disclosed. The TAX
ings of profits left prices close to the
level at which they left off last night.
The bank statement showed restoration
of rather more than last weeks loss in
the surplus item. The s14,3450o0 loan con-
traction was attributed to the week stock
market liquidation and the excess in the
cash gain over the preliminary estimates
was credited to a correction of the dis
crepancy in that item last week.
The weeks repayments of government
deposits are shown to have amounted to
81, 499, 800 exclusive of drafts by interior
banks upon New York accounts for that
purpose. The report from Washington
that 100000 to $4500.OOO of government
money was being deposited in interior
banks was regarded as promising an Off
set to the effect Of the current with
drawal of $10,OOo000 which will affect
principally the New York banks.

Loveman & Co.'S Market Letter.

A quiet but steady tone prevailed in
the cotton market today. Liverpool was
regarded as unfavorable. and the market
sold off several points during the early
trading notwithstanding the fact that the
weather map showed rains in nearly all
parts of the belt.
Shorts covered to some extent before
the close, which was steady at net
gain for the half day of points on July
and at a net loss of points on the new
crop months.
Spots were officially reported quiet and
unchanged Sales amounted to 325 bales
of spots. Middlng cotton was again
quoted at IL cents Five hundred bales
were delivered on contract.
Speculation in cotton as a whole was
characterized by extreme dullness during
the past week, but signs were not want

awakening interest in the market. The
crop has now reached the critical period
of it's growth. and it must be admitted
that weather conditions recently has been
unfavorable. Even the New York Chron-

in the capacity of the market to move
to a higher level The persistence OF this
selling on good news constitutes the most
sinister aspect OF the market from a
speculative standpoint, and fosters a SEN

financial and business outlook. 1t serves
to neutralize the effect of the assurance
of prosperous conditions which are al
most universal from all quarters of the
business and financial world. Iron and
