AND
 NARROW MARKET
Drive at Union Pacific Precipitated Selling All Along tho Line-New Is- suc of Securities by Railroads De
 pressing Factor-Better Crop Outlook
(By Il. II. Bru Coz

GLOBE, May l5.-Today s stock mar. ket is best described as cratic. " The opening was fairly good, but after II o clock there was sharp break in Union Pacific and the whole New York list sold off in sympathy. In the after noon trading there was fair recovery and the close was strong. The coppcrs were dull the entire session. This is purely traders market within mar. row limits.
 The recent announcement of an issue of $75 5,000,000 of bonds by Union Pa eific and of s36,OO0,000 preferred stock by Southern Pacific was not well re- ceived by the street, and taken in con nection with Tumors of further large issues of securities of other railroads, has impaired confidence and dissipated hope of an early bull movement in stocks.
 The general situation, however, is by no means discouraging. Upon closer study of the government crop report, the outlook for wheat is not so bad as first impressions indicated. It is estimated there are over 100000, 900 bushels of winter wheat from last year s crop still in the farmers hands and with improved growing conditions from now until harvest time. which is req sonabie to expect, an average yield of wheat is probable. At any rate, the possible shortage can hardly be so seri. ous as to disturb the present favorable business conditions of the country, as under any circumstances the farmer is reasonably assured of good prices for his grain this year
 The local stock market keeps up well and tho Globe eurbs are in demand by the public. Good sales of Globe Arizona Copper stock continue to be made; also Queen Copper is reviving and large block of this stock changed hands in this office. Inspiration stock sold at 24 cents per share, 5000 shares being picked up by outside investors.

AS to Spinach

"Ze broom of Ze stomach!' ex- claims the Parisian. One of the most expert restaurateurs ever turned out by Charles Delmonico (and he turned out many) made short culinary speech. The most abused of all American dishes is spinach The French call it "epin- ards. The favorite breakfast of the Parisian epicure is "oeufs aux epin- ards '-eggs with spinach. It is the greatest restorer in the world after q night out. While it is not an absorbent like celery, and in no sense nerve tonic, it is the ''vade mecum" of Mon. sieur Crapaud.
 ''I see men day after day, when the finest American spinach is set before them, take up cruet and shake q whole lot of vinegar over it. Now, the very thought of vinegar on spinach is enough to give a man the seurvy. Spin aeh, properly cooked, is not salad. It is a sort of vegetable meat Some epi- cures like it chopped very fine after boiling, with few slices of hard-bOiled egg on top as garnishment. Others want it served exactly as it comes out of the pot-hot, natural, like turnip greens or dandelions--and season it with little salt, pepper and butter. The only trouble with spinach is that it is so hard to clear of the grit the farmers sell with it. As it grows very close to the ground, every shower loads it with mud and sand, which are not good for the appendix vermiformis. - New York Press.

MARKET LOOKS
 SOME BETTER
psrort of Investigation Committee on Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Made Known Today-Market Is En- urely Professional,
(By I. N. Kinsey)

GLOBE, May l5.-Walker Brothers of New York say; Market today was ,sry dull and early trading sold off oritc sharply. In the late afternoon nri.cs braced up and made up a good ,lsaI of the early losses Market was nearly entirely professional and com mission business light. We look for inst this sort of market for some time to come.
 Paine of Boston says: The report of the investigation committee on Southern pacif, and Union Pacific was made known today and was a signal for the traders to sell Union Pacific and south ern Pacific and other trunk lines. Cop ners were very dull and showed no change worth mentioning. Stop orders were caught in North Butte at the cneping. but later the stock had fair rally. Quincy sells ex-dividend four half dollars tomorrow. Boston News Bureau compares Copper Range and North Butte this morning in favor of the former and influenced some people into changing their stocks. We see no activity in prospect and advise selling stocks on every rally for next few weeks to save interest.

Millions Spent TO
Make Clean Beer
Cleanest Manufacturing Process I
That of An American Brewery.

We regard beer as a food and the
business of brewing beer one of our
most important industries. When we
tell our readers that without exception
there is no other brewery in the world
so absolutely clean in its process of
manufacture as Pabst, we speak from
exact knowledge of conditions The
monster Pabst Brewery at Milwaukee
dollars and many of those millions
have been expended to make the Pabst
exclusive process absolutely clean.
Pabst Beer stands alone today, the only
to the end of it's manufacture is abso-
lutely beyond reach of even the con-
taminating germs of the air.
Doctors boil their instruments in
water to sterilize them. Pabst boils
his brew in closed kettles and thus
through sterilized pipes to sterilized
hermetically sealed tanks where it
is fermented. Then through more
sterilized pipes it goes to sterilized
and when bottled it is pasteurized.
Throughout the entire process it never
is touched by human hands and comes
in contact only with sterilized air.
This process of manufacture is the
exclusive Pabst method. 1t is one rea-
the best reputation of Pabst Beer
The cleanest beer and the richest
beer, PabSt Beer has no equal as a
mild, healthful beverage. 1t is brewed
only from Pabst eight-day malt,
choicest hops and pure water Pabst
tains all the food qualities of the finest
barley in predigested form. 1t is this
high food value and the Pabst exclu-
sive process of brewing and thoroughly
aging the beer, that gives Pabst beer its
rich, mellow flavor, its refreshing zest.
