UPWARD TREND
OF THE MARKET
Prices Have Attained a Hiuher
Level Than at Any Time
Since 1906.
STEEL CENTRAL FIGURE
CROP PROSPECTS GOOD, BUT
COPPER SHOWS A DECLINE.

New York, Aug. lin face of some
misgivings in the professional specuIa-
tive element. based on fear Of the tech
nicaI position, the stock market last
week stood firm and then forged up
ward. The fact that the price level thus
attained represents the highest touched
since 19oG, with a rapid approach in
averages to the highest in the New
York Stock exchange records, cOnsti-
tutes the ground of the misgivings over
the stability of prices at the present al
titude
The backbone Of the market might
be said to be United states Steel, which
focused attention by reason of the divi-
dend meeting on Tuesday and the pub
LEGATION then Of earnings for the June
30 quarter.
U. S. Steel Earnings.
Quarterly earnings of the United
States Steel corporation showed the sub
stantiai recuperation which has occurred
in the trade when compared with the
preceding quarter, and with the CORES
ponding quarter of last year; but the
margin still TO be restored is wide. The
same is true of the tonnage of untitled
orders on hand at the beginning of the
present quarter.
Growing demand for all forms of
equipment added a strong factor TO this
feeling. While it is pointed out in crit
icism of the United States Steel exhibit
that it shows no resumption OF the spe-
cial OUTLAWS for new construction made
lavishly up to the. time of the late finan-
cial depression, the resulting increase
of sums available for dividends which
will follow the GisCOntinuance Of these
special OUTLAWS is a large element in ad-
vancing the stock to its present high
price.
Copper Still Off.
Commercial, financial, industrial and
agricultural conditions and prospects
continue such as to afford a buttress
TO stock market values. In the copper
trade is found a rather marked di-
veTgence from the general improving
tendency. Prices Of the metal have de-
clined again, and the high rate of pro-
dUction forces offerings on the market
at concessions without bringing out de-
mand sufficient to take up supplies.
Crop advices have been highly favor
able from the grain fields, including
corn and wheat, but the reported dete-
riOratiOn Of cotton was the cause Of
anxiety.
The premOnItOTy symptoms of the
interior demand for currency for crop
moving purposes and the increase Of
money requirements in mercantile quar-
tiers have stiffened interest rates, but
have not impaired confidence in the Sc
curity of the money market.
Funds are procUrable with facility
abroad in anticipation of the later OutgO
of merchandise exports, and the plac-
ing of some new American securities
with foreigners makes an additional
supply Of exchange. These factors have
lowered foreign exchange rates as the
interest rate advanced, but cid not af-
feet the Outgo to South America

Falls City Attorney Files Peculiar
Suit Against Divorced
Client.

BEATRICE, Neb., June 4-tSpecial.)-
A rather unusual suit was begun yester-
day in the district court when James e.
Leyda, a Falls City attorney, started pro-
ceedings against Lucinda Smith, who is
at present a resident Of Beatrice. Leyda
alleges in his petition hat in April, 1905,
he was employed by the defendant in a
Richardson county suit for divorce against
John r. Smith. He sets forth that they
entered into an agreement whereby he was
to receive 10 per cent of the alimony al
lowed her by the court as fee for his work.
A further stipulation of the alleged agree
ment was that he should receive the same
amount as his fee in case the parties to
the suit compromised and settled the ali
mony issue out Of court Plaintiff states
that defendants husband was worth SIS,
900, and when he offered to compromise by
paying his wife 5000, she dismissed the
action. In May, 1909, she employed other
counsel, filed another suit and secured a
decree of divorce, receiving as alimony
the sum of s., 900. Plaintiff AYERS that the
defendants object in dismissing her first
action and beginning the second was to
avoid paying him the amount agreed upon
for his services. He prays judgment
against her In the sum OF $3.50, Is per cent
OF the amount allowed her as alimOny.

him. "a 312 suit for SIS. OF course we soon dlscov-

prosperity in the winds for all of Union
county. Buildings are going up rapid
ly in the residence district and, while
no large buildings are under construc-

land is regarded more than certainty
from the purchase by the Rockefeller
interests of the Tacoma Eastern rail-
road. While the acquisition of this
property by the Milwaukee road has
not been announced officially, it is be-
lieved to be confirmed in the recent
election Of officers of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul and the Chicago.
Milwaukee & Puget Sound railroads to
the directorate and executive personnel
of the Ladd & Tilton road. In the
election referred to, H. r. Williams.
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound, was elected president of
the Tacoma Eastern.
The present terminus of the Tacoma
Eastern is Glenavon, which is about so
miles northerly from Vancouver, Wash.
By extending this line to Vancouver
the Milwaukee people, by arranging
for the operation of their trains over
the Hill bridges across the Columbia
and Willamette rivers, can secure an
entrance to this city. 1t is apparent
that the construction of an additional
60 miles of track will not prove an OBJ
stacle in the natural desire of the
Rockefeller road to enter Portland.
The length of the Tacoma Eastern is
92 miles and it extends into the Cow
litz valley.

son, of the Bank of Commerce, shortly
before The bank closed yesterday after
noon, wounded Cashier j. l.. Lyen and
escaped with a few hundred dollars.
He fled on bicycle to the north end
of the city, then turned toward the
waterfront. Here his pursuers found
the satchel IN which he carried his
money. 1t contained only SIS. Dep
uties and citizens are searching for the
man. Blcodhounds have been secured.
When the robber entered the bank
he thrust two revolvers into 0lson's
face and commanding him to throw up
his hands, laid down one gun and seiz-
ed all the money he could reach and
placed it in his satchel. He paid no
attention to the few customers in the
bank.
Cashier Lyen was in the rear end of
the building. He ran down an alley
way and entered by the front door to
take the robber by surprise and grap-
pied with him. The robber shot three
times. one bullet passing through Ly-
ems jaw and neck, making a serious
wounC. The robber then fled, with
both Lycn and Olsen shooting at him.
His hat was shot off and it is believ-
ed he was slightly wounded. He il
supposed to have had bicycle hidden
in the vicinity, for he was next seen
riding furiously north on one. He was
seen by hundreds of people, but before
armed citizens and officers took up the
chase in automobiles he disappeared.

Strawberry Profits Good.

Wallowa-Strawberries are profit
able crop all over the Northwest, but
there are few places where they pro-
duce larger returns than in the Wallowa
valley. There are no large fields of
berries here, but there are many small
ones that are yielding immense returns
for the labor and investment which
they represent. G. A. Miller last year
received nearly $500 net from less than
one-ffth of an acre. This year he has
improved his fields and as the season is
one of the best he expects to greatly
exceed that yield.
