Frozen Rabbit Trade With England
Is Principal Industry of Tasmania

the scourge Of rabbits in the Western
States-an increasing horde OF S'tn-
MES that ravaged the country. ate all
the green things. and made life mis-
cradle for the settler. The Department
of Agriculture not so many years ago
issued a bulletin, with scientific hints
as TO rabbit determination, and told
graphically OF the rabbit hunts, or
round-ups, wherein the citizens Of per
haps several counties got together, built
a big trap. and then chased Br'er Rab-
bit in a fast-encIosing circle. until he
ran into the corral, where he was
slaughtered by the thousand with clubs.

 POLITICS KILL
 STOCK TRADING
Brokers Look For Advance To Follow Election and Believe
 Present Is Excellent Time To
 Pick Up Good Bargains.
By Frank J. Graf.

bg fAdnh d. VI dAs
 Today's market was a hfeless affair the greater part of the session. It is purely a professional market and profits are taken where they are no ticeable Between the political situa- ton and the final wind up of the na- tional baseball games. very little at tention is being paid to the market. Copper stocks are inactive, as we'll as the local eurbs. This quietness can not be carried on forever, and right now, whle the public are watching politics is the time to get into the mar ket. Just as soon as the political sit uation is over the market is bound to make turn, and stocks will see bet ter prices. This is as certain as can be, if you are in the market, all we'll and good, but when the market is on the advance is the time to go up with the advance and not buy in on the top prices. Stocks at this price are near CT to their values than at any other time since the slump. This you must admit. If stocks are purchase they are certainly worth the prices today. The market, it is true may decline be- tween now and the electon, but on the other hand the financial world might discount the defeat of Bryan, get into the market at any time. It may be some time before we will see another market with prices selling like the present.
