ton of general business over the whole
area where II operates.
A representative OF the News" yes

md learned great many facts OF in
terest concerning tho business record
for 1906. II was stated that the pres
ent year broke all previous records both

in business. too, was not on any special
line. but extended to all the goods rep
resented IN the extensive stock car
rled.
Special attention was directed TO the
new line OF business opened by the
reclamation Of arid lands which eni-
ployed steam ploughing outfits, and had
made special demand on the J. J.
Case Threshing Machine company for
their engines and separators aud also
for the Deere. parlln and Orendorff, and
oliver plows. General prosperity among
the farmers had also greatly increased
the company's business in the well
known Balm and Cooper wagons, In
Sweets common sense bob sleds, Y. $.
cream separators, and farming tools In
general.
The figures reached by the transac-
tons IN the American steel & Wire
company's barb wire and field fence
Mccormick machinery, pnd the Ply
mouth Red Tag twlne during 1906, were
matters Of special surprise and gratih-
cation The officers have a specially
good word to say for the Agricultural
college, and state that It's good effects
are very evident in the agricultural
business. This Is equally true OF the
Il IL, 80 ha - o.
ing, which are tending TO increase soil
production or intensive farming. The
effect OF this was shown by the in
creased sales OF the company's Planet,
Jr. Deere and Monsur. and other lines
of general farming tools
The prosperity OF the community Is
we'll reflected IN the number of pleas
ure, business and utility vehicles Of
every kind which have been sold dur
ing the year. Those favorites In the
trade Kaufman, Veile, Hesse and Rn-
cine have all been heavily drawn on,
and have maintained their high reputa-
lions.
The new line Of business entered upon
by the company automobiles, has made
a good showing during the year, sales
OF over $50 600 having been made. while

Hearings have been considerably in ex-

ava about the same, and there have
hsen no special or sensational features.
CONFIDENTIAL New York letter from
Woil street reports that the recent To-
o,I stringency was due to large inter-
sst payments due the first Of the
,nonth and there was also large trans
avs Of money TO San Francisco. Then
he situation has been made more en-
hsrrasslng by apprehensions OF anti
trust agitation in new and more dis
,nrbing forms by Congress. The
annual report of the Union Pacific
road caused a diversity OF opinion.
some arguing that there was shown
only IA per cent income on the common
stock and that based on this show
ing 10 per cent dividends should not
have been paid. II the report Is studied
very carefully, however. II looks truly
magnificent, though the larger part OF
NE profits was made from investments
snl not from railroad operations.
Amalgamated copper, In spite of the
snlendid condition Of the copper mar
tet. has been a laggard In the upward
moyement. The bond market contin-
ues very dull, excepting Santa Fe con-
vert,ble 49, which advanced In SYM
nathy with the stock, the higher money
market contributing to this fact"
REAL ESTATE GOOD.
The real estate situation continues
steady and good. The preference last
week In the matter of locations was in
the southern part of the town; but

distributed, and inquiries are directed
In many parts of the town. The ex-
element that has been prevailing IL

While there have been no very heavy
Transactions, there have been many
OF a fair figure, which In the aggregate
amount to a good deal. The sale OF
the McEae corner at Sixth East and
Second South streets for s1G,500, indi-
Gates that residence property is IN de-
mand, as well as business properties.
The patriotic activity of Mr.. New
house continues to excite compliment

suggest that II would be a fitting thing

sent him a complimentary and con-
gratulatory letter this week. In appre-

DRY GOODS TRADE.

The wholesale dry goods trade is be-
tween hay and grass. locally, with job
bers preparing their spring samples,
and getting rid OF odds and ends of
winter stocks. mostly OH recorders. The
jobbers handling toys, report a gen.
eral clean out of all kinds of stock, as
retailers have had an unusual demand
for this class Of goods. The retail dry
goods men report sales for anything
and everything in their line, excepting
millinery. which Is not moving rapid
ly at this time Of year, The snow has
proven godsend in certain lines Of
goods, there being a great demand for
furs. and heavy wear of all kinds.
Contrary to expectation. piece goods
are In demand, waists ale still 'all the
GO" and the demand for gloves can
now be filled. no the local public is
pretty we'll supplied. Dealers report
their top departments as pretty well
cleaned out, the supply this year be-
ing marked by dolls OF all nations"
which sold very well. There is short

CLOTUING BUSINESS

The clothing trade reports business
very fair, with a demand Increasing
for winter goods. There is quite a de-
mand for smoking jackets and bath
robes and fresh conslgnments OF hats
are being received from the east
The shoe trade continues good with
every prospect for a big business this
season. There is a lively demand for
rubbers.

THE HARDWARE TRADE.

The hardware trade Is jubllant over
the amount of business transacted
during the week, but gruesome over the
chances for anything like quick dellv-
cry. There is no trouble to sell goods .
but when 1t comes to filing the orders
"Ay. there's the rub" The hardware
people say messages are received from
all directions asking Can you deliver
the goods?" and the matter of prices
does not seem to be considered: or con-
sidered as secondary. It Is the old
story Of congested frelghts, and de-
layed trains, and the uncertainty when
consgnments can be received from
the east.

investment. The outlook for the holl-
ay trade Is better than ever, and all
OF the stores are rushed.

Plans are maturing for half dozen
new apartment houses to 90 up here in
the spring. When the Emery Holmes

provision would Accommodate all the
families In town who cared 10 live I'm

the call Is now so great Tint the Covev

houses have rented the same and
moved into apartments.
