punishable offense were demanded
by President Mack Hurlbut of Fort
Dodge in his opening address before
the third annual convention of the
Iowa Retail jewelers. association at
the Slavery hotel. Dwelling upon the
harm the use of deceptive advertising
and fraudulent publicity is doing to
the trade, he urged the passing of a
law which will reassure the public
that they may expect fair treatment
at the hands of the goldsmiths.

friends of John ]. Hamilton to have
his platform adopted in Its entirety
by the prohibition state convention
met with defeat. Those in favor OF
that platform made heated fight for

had not come before the convention
IN the proper manner.
The platform adopted demands a

stitution; repeal of the internal
revenue tax on liquors; the prohibi-
ton OF liquor traffic in all places

WON'T OPEN FOR week
New Michigan Central De
pot to be Fully Complete
Before Opening.

No effort will be made to have the
new Michigan Central depot opened for
the next week or two. 1t is the purpose
of the officials of this road to entirely
complete the work of Improvement be-
fore the new depot is occupied.
While the depot itself is all done and
has been accepted from the contractors,
there yet remains to lay the vitrifled
brick around the depot and to improve
the park between Holman street and
the depot.
The work of tearing down the old
Walter Hammond coal sheds was be-
gun today and this eyesore will seen
be forever removed from the public
gaze. The railroad right of way will
be sodded and fenced in and there will
be a walk laid along Plummer avenue
from Holman street to the depot.
Trees and shrubbery will be set out
and before the work is completed the
Michigan Central will set an example
for the other railroads in this city to
follow.

eph-There can be no quick
money made on the long side of the
Pacifics and Pennsylvania. Hold them
tenaciously. Distillers, Fuel Cana
dian Pacific, and Amalgamatel Copper
are going higher, follow them up.
Logan-There is rather persistent
buying of the discounted wheat flu
lures on every break and If the actual
shipments from Argentine shiuld be
as small as the estimates, we may
easily run into even a stronger bull
market.
BarreIf-The action of wheat yester-
day shows that advantage should be
taken OF all good recessions to make
some purchases.
Pringle-The news is all so bullish
that taken in connection with the crop
news it makes US very bullish on July
and September wheat.
Ware & Leland-While statistical
situation appears bullish we prefer to
take advantage of bulges to sell wheat.
White-The final bulge yesterday
furnishes another excellent chance to
get out some wheat and we advise our
friends to avail themselves thereof at
| the opening today.
Bache-The bull cliques have abso-
| lutte control of the market situation.
We look for higher prices from these
| levels.
Financial Bureau-Developme this
morning present no good reason for a
change from the conservative bull po-
sition on the stock market We would
not refuse fair part profits on the
bulges nor would we climb for stocks.
Purchases on little declines still ap-
pear to give good results but as the
market broadens we would safeguard
| purchases with stop order protection.
