ed Strain on Market.
TO KEEP UP THE ADVANCES
Last Prices Not Far From the Very
Lowest.
PROFIT.TAKING DISPOSITION
Metal Industrials, Notably Copper
Interests, Special Subjects for
Attack

NEW YORK March 2S.-The stock
market showed quite plainly the strain OF
the attempt to keep up prices which had
been persisted in during the present week
In face of some natural tendency toward
reaction growing out of fhe disposition
to take profits on the considerable adj
vance already achieved since the rise set in.
The suspicion of the character of the
market was confirmed by an extraordinary
speculative demonstration in the curb
market, where a new mining stock was
introduced after n preliminary flourish OF
the advertising trumpet which has been
going on for several days past.
Accusations of manipulative operations
on the stock exchange in the last few
days with the object of furthering the
curb flotation found voice in the current
discussion in the market and contributed
appreciab bly, to the disposition of the pro-
fessional element to attack the market.
The metal industrials. especially those
connected with the copper industry, were
especially vulnerable. owing to the SYM
pathetic relation they were supposed to
bear to the exploitation in the outside
market There was a recurrence of sharp
pressure also on Union Pacific owing to
revived effect on the proposed scheme of
financing announced by the company
earlier in the week.
Appeal to Reactionary Sentiment.
The nature of the selling of the United
States Steel stocks made an appeal to
the Nreactionary sentiment owing to sus-
picions that the selling came from in
formed and influential sources. Moderate
resistance was shown to the depression
at times some support centering on North
ern Pacific. The passage of the Aldrich
bill by the Senate made a good impress
sion. but the action had been expected and
led to some realizinZ sales. Mercantile
agencies reported some revival of spring
trade conservative lines.
Additional curtailment in New England
mills was Counteracting influence. Last
prices were not far from the lowest.
The statement of banking averages for
the week was much more favorable than
that of the actual condition of the clear
ing house institutions Friday night. The
S3T. 642 600 loan increase reported by the
institutions outside the clearing house is
connected with the resumption during the
pany. An announcement that caused
much qualification was that the last of
the clearing house certificates outstand-
ing since the financial crisis which devel-
oped October % had been retired.
Bonds were firm. Total sales. par value.
81, $4,000.
L. S. As registered have declined 4 per
cent on call during the week.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET

MANCHESTER, England. March 2S.-
Business in the cloth market was small
er this week and prices were easier Man
ufacturers are respondent and no i'm
provement is anticipated until tndia and
China resume operations on larger
scale. The weeks business comprised a
few shirtings for madras, miscellaneous
orders for South America, and moderate
lines for home trade.
Yarns were down another eighth. but
this reduction failed to bring increased
business and all qualities were neglected.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 2S.-An operator.
who has been strikingly correct In his
judgment of the stock market for several
months. says that he Is confident that
some of the most powerful interests in
Wall street are directing the course of
the market, and that. according to his
information they propose to make it &C
tive and attractive for some little time to
come.
Representative of most commission
houses say that business yesterday was on
the small scale that 1t has been dur
ing the last three weeks. A representa-
tive OF an extensive commission business
says that it's clients have been trading on
a pretty fair scale, and that foreign oper-
ators have been among the active buyers.
1t is assumed that the passage of the
Aldrich bill by a large majority in the
Senate will produce a favorable effect
sentimentally at least. but in some conser-
vative circles 1t Is believed that it's adop-
ton by the Senate has been pretty fully
discounted as an immediate stock market
factor.

TROUBLE SAVED BY
NOT ADVERTISING

The modern merchant who never
advertiSes escapes lot OF trouble. He
may keep out Of some Of it without
intending to do anything of the sort,
but he escapes it just the same. He
gets rid of the trouble Of preparing
advertisements, and, of course. has no
worry about changing them and keep
ing them fresh and up to date. He is
not bothered about the way his ads.
are printed, nor the position they
occupy. He can say, with much
truthfulness, that it is no trouble to
show them. But his greatest saving
of trouble is in not having to sell
goods to people who stay away, but
who would come to his store If he
advertised. Then, as he sells few
goods, he has few to tuy, and there
is more trouble saved. He never has
the trouble of selecting and paying a
staff of assistants. He gets rid of the
trouble of having to pay for advertis-
ing. Finally, he never has the trouble
of enlarging his store, or of removing
to bigger one, and it is very little
trouble to count his money. Strange,
what lot of trouble a merchant
makes of himself by advertising.

INTERURBAN FOR
NEW LONDON
Planned From Appleton Through
H0rtonviIIe to our CITY.

The Appleton Crescent of last FIJI
day had an article on the street rail-
way quest ION which made quite inter-
esting reading for inhabitants OF this
neck OF the woods The editor de-
clared that he was authorized to make
the statement that within a short
time steps would be taken to build an
1nterurban line from Appleton to
New London via HorJonville. This
line is to be built by local company
and will probtbly be operat ed by gaso-
line motors at first. II is proposed
that stockholders to each locality Sc
cure the franchise and the right of
way and then Appleton people will
construct the line. OF course the
road would be of great benefit to the
holders of real estate and would give
our young people easy access to the
Fox river metropolis after supper
Whether our citizens would consider
the benefits greater than the offsets
remains to be seen. An interurban
line will connect the Fox river valley
lines with the North Wisconsin River
valley lines in the near future, and
that would naturally cross either from
Oshkosh to Grand Rapids through
Wild Rose and Waupaca from Apple
ton to Stevens Point through Horton
vile and New London. 1t would be
a grand thing for New London if the
complete line could be assured and
the building of the spur would

ADAMS COUNTY
Wisconsin Central Transit Com
pany Will Build From Kill

Adams county will not long enjoy the
distinction Of being the only county
in the state without a railroad. The
Central Wisconsin Transit company
filed articles of incorporation in the
office of the secretary of state today.
The place of business is at Kilbourn
City and the capitol stock is S25. 900.
The proposed road will be from Kill
bourn City through Adams county by
way of Friendship into Wood county,
the terminal being at Grand Rapids,
a distance of about sixty-tive miles.
The incorporators are j. ]. Burns,
G. F. Burns, George H. Campbell,

1t has been financed by the st. Paul
road. which touches both at Kilbourn
City and at Grand Rapids, but makes

places.

probably assure the location of the
cross line. The terminus here would
also help some in the meanwhile. Ex-
cursions and picnics would come here
on the cars for an afternoon and even
ing outing and would advertise the
resort features of our city. The re
sort possibilities will force New London
into the foreground in few years at
most, Tourists are spenders. Let US
be forsighted and provide the facilities
for transportation before it is too late.
There is a possibility, let US make
sure that it becomes reality.-New

POTATO MARKET
OPENS STRONG

The practical opening of the potato
market in this village last week, was
taken advantage of by some of the
farmers TO market their crop of early.
potatoes and atprices that proved very
satisfactory. Sixty cents was paid for
car load, which was about five cents a
bushel higher than was quoted in ad
joining markets. j. A. jerks
marketed about two acres of an early
variety that went about seventy-fve
bushels to the acre. This week he has
completed the digging and hauling of
about six acres from which he will
realize close to four hundred and fifty
bushels. For the most of these he has
received sixty cents, or an average of
about $45 to the acre. This week the
prices have ranged from fifty-fve to
sixty cents, the receipts being in the
main much larger than was expected
at this time of the year.-Wild Rose
Times.
