STATUS OF STOCK MARKET
DURING THE PAST WEEK

The market this week was narrow and fevernh, with Combination Fraction
easily the leader, as the week before.
Fraction ws a bad actor, entirely intraetible. 1t went up like the proven
bai rocket, anne down like the stick for a rapid decline, stopped with a jerk, re-
bounded and nw hangs wavering, as if undecided what to do next. During the
week the stock shot up to s1s5, and $500 was predicted. If it reached $500 and
got above, then it was going % 81, according to the street. But it didn't reach
81. The last squirt brought ut selling orders. 1t was the chance that the profit
takers had been looking for, and down she wen tin three calls from SIS to
sL05 OF Friday morning; then with a brilliant squirt, in the san cal went back
to s13O. Now that everybody is guessing and afraid, the inside ear play football
with Fraction. 1t looks as if this stock would find the mean point of oscillation
at about $3.50, until something big happens in the way of news, such al a sale
to the Consolidated, or the announcement of dividends.
The engma of the market is Jumbo Extension. When the agreement was
made known, whereby the Jumbo Ex lost the Wedge Fraction to the Consol
dated, and surrendered other valuable rights and interests, leaving Jumbo Ex.
Elk. would take a header and strike 25 cens. But on the contrary the stock
gain of 10 cent over its price when the compromise became public. Such is the
perversty of the market.
Booth has been a favorte because of the developments in the Red Top Con-
soidated lease near by. Baby Florence has remained around six ts looks
as if it we're preparing for another rise. The mine is getting in shape to pro.
duce regularly. Mohawk Ledge has been a favoritea at about 5R; Orc closed
with aes 1t II, and Kewanas at 50; Atlanta, OF Friday nights call brought 2G,
and Commonwealth sold at 1919. In view If the heavy production being made

nee is receiving from 100000 to 100000 per month in royalties alone-at least
that has been the rat for the past few weeks. Consolidated keeps under the
IS mark, but threatens every few days to take a squirt. The m is lot far dis
tant when this security will begin Ito move
There is nothing in the general situation 20 warrant the belief that thu mar
kt will reach much higher prices fr. the mex few weeks. Money is gradually
loosenng in the east and in time will find its way into this market, but for the
time being the market is likely to be narrow, with % and then a squirt in some
individual stock. But higher prices for the general list cannot logically be K
|pected until about the first of September.

(This is a exceedingly useful and interesting book. 1t fills a need
seriously felt by mining me- and it will have its place in the vest
pocket of every mining operator. Many a mine superintendent has
been puzzled at times by the behavior of the IRE body he ws mining
and has felt that a better knowledge of re deposition would be OF m
mems value to him. But he is a busy man, and does lot have time to
sit down for long hours and peruse ONE large and cumbersome text
book. What he wants is a book like ''The Origin of Ore Deposits
with a flexible linen cover, which he an put in his coat pocket and
carry everywhere. The book is divided into the following nine chap
tiers: ]. Formation Of Igneous Rocks. {. Chemistry and Metanurgy

The Chautauqua.
One of the best and most successful
Chautauquas ever held in northeastern
Kansas is now in progress at Blue
Rapids, in the beautiful Riverside
park, on the banks of the Blue. The
Chautauqua is given by the famous
Redpath Lyceum bureau, and contains
a programme to cover eight days.
Some of the very best talent in the
business will appear and programme
is arranged for each afternoon and
night. The ChautauQua was secured
through the efforts of the Business
Mems club and the merchants gener-
ally, and a large number of season
tickets were disposed of. Riverside
park where the Chautauqua is being
held is a beautiful natural park. we'll

and offers an exceptionally fine place
for such a gathering. The Blue river
at this point affords excellent boating,
and several row boats, and two or
three motor launches are at disposal
of the crowds. The entire town has
taken an active part in preparing for
the event, and those who attend are
assured a good time.
Automobiles.
Several automobiles are owned in
Blue Rapids, and several more have
been ordered. Mr.. Ed. Morgan. the
proprietor of the livery stable. has
plans arranged for the erection of a
garage, and the building will be COM
menced in q few weeks. With the
erection of a garage, and the employ
ment of an expert machine man more
cars will be purchased, as the lack
of a garage and automobile ma
chinest has been the cause of many
delaying their purchase The country
around the town is generally level and
the roads good, which affords excel
lent riding, and with the erection of
the garage the automobile business in
Blue Rapids will boom.
