Waterloo, Nov. 22.-Waterloo, like
other manufacturing cities both east
and west, has felt the financial strin-
gency because Of the scarcity Of cash,
and while some Of the institutions have
laid off men, it is also true that others
are employing more help than they
were at this time last year. Reports
that have been in circulation here
and have gone abroad over the state
are greatly exaggerated, as an investi-
cation today proved. The closing down
of the Water Register Company was
ouly for two days, because of a scare
ity of material. The cream separator
company has laid off fifty of it's 600
men. The Litchfield Manufacturing
Company, makers of manure spreaders,
is closed temporarily while an inventory
is being taken, but will open soon with
more men than formerly. Forty-seven
moulders employed by Headford Bros.
& Hichins have been laid off, but
reports that the Galloway and other
companies had shut down are erron-
eous.
The railway companies paid their
men yesterday with checks and the
banks have cashed them readily, and
no uneasiness is felt over the condition
Of the financial institutions.

the total for this week at all the lead

$1,000, ,7S0,036, or 1862 per cent less
than that of last year, and 2S.2 per
cent under the corresponding week In
1905. There is loss in nearly every
city, compared with both the preced-
ing years, which is especially large
at New York, because of the reduced
volume of stock dealings and low
range of security values. San
Francisco also reports a heavy de-
crease compared with last year, but
at most points in the middle west the
loss is small, and several cities in
that section report small gain, nota-
