 MARKET REPORT TRADE CONDITIONS AND INDUS TRIES SEND IN FAVORABLE
 REPORTS.
Will curtaiI Cotton Output to Read. just the Prices, Is Being Thought
 of By Cotton Buyers.

New York, Oct. s.-Bradstreets to morrow will say:
 Favorable reports are the rule in nearly all lines of trade and indus tries, though conservatism, bred by high prices of raw and manufactured products and full order books of man. ufacturers Is the only apparent bar to an even wider distribution in most wholesale lines.
 Wholesale trade in staple lines is good beyond question, even the south, which faces a short yield of cotton, showing better and more cheerful tone because of the high price offered for its leading staple at period of nearly record crop. movement.
 On the other hand, cotton manufac- tuers here, at the South and abroad, are disclosing curtailment of output in an effort to readjust prices of goods, which are strong and tending upward to the advanced cost of the raw material, which is 50 per cent higher than a year ago. Shortages of cars in special lines are more in eyi. dence in transportation than for two years past In the leading industries fuller order books are the rule Shoe trade is brisk.

lecting the seed contracts that were
made with largo number Of the
farmers Of Ward county last spring

''The seed contract money il being
paid without a question by all who
benefited by the law and we expect
to have the entire amount collected
within few days. The contract given
at the time that the seed was furnish
ed acts as q lien on the grain and
must be paid before the farmers re-
ceiving the benefit can dispose OF
their crops.
During my trip around the county
find that nearly all OF the farmers
are holding their wheat for an adj
vance in price and that all are more
or less interested in the condition of
the local and eastern markets. we
expect to finish our work in this line
within a few days."

ALMOST LOSES
LIFE IN FIRE
BRAVE BOY TRIES IN VAIN TO
SAVE HOME or HIS PARENTS
FOUND CRAWLING ON
HANDS AND KNEES.

Wheelock, N. d., Nov. 11.-Scorched
by flames which he attempted to con-
quer, and almost exhausted from In
halfng smoke Edward Siverson, aged
IL years, was found short distance
from this place making desperate
struggle to reach town that his in
Juries might receive attention. Crawl
Ing on his hands and knees, with one
or his hands so badly burned that 1t
will always be crippled and some-
times rising to his feet to stagger for
ward few PAGES only to fall again
In exhaustion, the young man fought
gamely for his life.
A prairie fire threatened the home CT
Severson's father. The boy was Ut
home alone, and had hitched UP Ave
horses to gang pillow, hoping to pro-
vide firebreak But the flames came
too fast, and before he could get away
the fire had reached him.
Severson was so helpless when res
cued that it is doubtful If he would
have reached the town had 1t not
been for the timely assistance OF
passersby.
One of the horses was burned TO
death, while two others were so seri-
ously injured that they will probably
be shot.
