Visit to Custer County.

L. L. Sweet and wife will leave
this week for Custer county, Ida
no, where Mr.. Sweet has mining
interests. They will be absent
for several weeks. Shorty"
Gaut, the old partner of Mr..
Sweet, who is now engaged in
business at Twin Falls, will meet
him in Custer county. He and
a friend will make q 2OO-mile
drive from Twin Falls.
Custer and Lemhi counties are
two of the booming counties of
the state at present. A railroad
is building into Lemhi county,
which is the only county in the
state to be without railroad tran
sportation. In Custer county
much land is being reclaimed by
irrigation projects.
Both Lemhi and Custer coun-
ties are among the richest in the
state in natural resources, but
lack of transportation has been
a great drawback.
Mr.. Sweet is a pioneer of that
section and has long had valu-
able mining interests in Custer
county.
He and his associates have To-
Gated group of four gold quartz
claims situated about six miles
southeasterly from St. Maries.
While prospecting they uiscov-
cred a large porphyry dyke and
a quartz vein averaging II feet
in width and which at the sur
face have assay returns OF S26. AZ
in gold to the ton.
1t is the intention of the loca-
tors to stake out some additional
claims to be used for millsite
purposes and also take up water
rights for milling and power pur
poses. The locality in which
the claims are located has beer
but little prospected but is known
to few to be very rich in gold
The advent of the Milwaukee
railroad has spurred prospector'
on, the country previously being
almost inaccessible. Develop
ment of the claims will be begur
at once.-Wallace Press.

 Factors of the Late
 Advance.
CLOSE AT ABOUT THE BEST

New York. October 29-There was very active business in cotton again today and in spite of heavy realizing, as well as the reactionary tendency of sentiment in some quarters, prices made new high levels fin the late trading and closed at a net advance of to 25 points.
 The market opened irregular at an ad- vance of 1 points to a decline of points with considerable selling for turn on account of disappointing cables and re- ports published by some of the morning papers that MT. Patten had liquidated his long cotton. These sellers were surprised, however, by aggressive support from for eign bull leaders, right after the open Ing. while friends of the Chicago operator denied that he had sold his cotton, and inside of the first half hour prices sold 20 to 22 points net higher, with January making new high record. A reaction of several points occurred during the middle Of the day on account of cables from Liverpool reporting that members of the International Federation of Master Spin ners had decided to run their mills only four days a week up to December 4 oiiN eteANlSVo II Oli IdOAlTtdI CldlIHluB that Canadian mills would curtail 20 per cent, from November 1 to January 1.
 But there was good buying on scale- down, and the market later developed the greatest strength and excitement of the day, with December contracts selling at 1469c and May at 14.S7c. or 25 to 26 points net higher, all months making new high records for the season. The close was at practically the best on active positions. The big spinners takings for the week and strength in the southern markets were the factors of the late ad- vance, together with continued support from southern bulls. Southern spot mar kets were 1-16c to 1sc higher.
 Receipts at the ports today, 75,596 bales. against S6.10S last week and 75,737 last year. For the week, 425,OOO bales, against 44S,626 last week and 449,979 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 1o.s1o, against 10,4sS last year. and at Houston, 11,771, against 9O575 last Var.

MORE STRENGTH
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Falling Off In Shipments from
 Ru Sia
CORN AND OATS FOLLOW
Provisions Were Strong in Chicago All Day Owing to the General Investment Demand-Mar-
 kets Close Strong.

Chicago, October 29-Predictions of a material falling off in shipments of wheat from Russia were the basis of a consid- erable strength in the wheat market here today. The close was firm, with prices 14 to 1sQ9s cents above yesterday s final figures. Corn and oats followed wheat and closed firm, while provisions were strong.
 The news from Russia was a marked factor at the opening of trading and was mainly responsible for an advance of H to s4@7s cents on initial transactions. Although prices reacted at times owing to realizing sales sentiment was bullish the greater part of the day, shorts be- ing fair bidders. Reports from the south west that offerings of wheat from the interior were on the decrease prompt ed some buying. During the day Decem- ber sold between s1.05Ss and a.06h@ 106A. The market closed firm, with De- cember at $1 05%.
 An official forecast of unsettled weather for the corn belt caused considerable covering by shorts in the corn market, which resulted in firm tone through out the day. The market closed firm with prices up A to A cents, compared with the previous close.
 Oats were nrm because or pflsk de- mand by shippers for the cash grain. The bulk of trading was in the May de- livery. At the close prices were shade to b01zc higher.
 Provisions were strong all day, owing to a general investment demand, based on continued light receipts of live hogs throughout the west Total arrivals of hogs today at the principal western cen ters were more than 35,000 less than the fba pOrraqDnnd- ing day q year ago. The market closed strong with prices unchanged to 40 cents higher

MORE SPECULATIVE
 INTEREST SHOWN Conspicuous Advance In Stocks
 Is Effected MARKET PROVES ACTIVE Cause of Revival Was Found in Eas- Ing of Money Market-steeps Ag- eressive Advance Forms
 Effective Leader.
MARKET PROVES ACTIVE

New York, October 29-Today saw a considerable revival of speculative inter est in the stock market. The cause for. this revival was found in the easing of the money market and the confidence manifested that conditions would further relax with the passing of the November l settlements. The sources of supply of the additional funds offered in the money market are believed to come from London, where 1t was reported private bankers had been induced to replace some of the accounts recently recalled in re- sponse to the maneuvers of the Bank of London money market in order to attract gold to that center
 The attraction for this operation accord ing to cabled reports from the British capital was the payment of a commission to the bankers by the American borrowers which amounted to sharp premium over the interest rate ruling in the money mar ket there.
 The feeling that with the passing of the stock market settlement and the higher payments money markets will relax seemed to obtain in London.
 The resumption of borrowers in Lon don marks, however, a deficit of the pol icy of England when it sets about to ob- tain control of the London money mar kefs and to make its advance in the of- hJal discount rate effective. The possi- Aities came into discussion, therefore, Aof further defensive measures by the bank to defeat this movement. The weeks currency movement has been gain for the New York banks, according to the preliminary estimates, although the tad Inv obi mt of funds to the interior, the balance of New York being estimated at $3,0OO000,> On sub-treasury operations, however, the banks have lost $3,271000, while gold ex- ports to South America and Canada have taken an additional $3475,000 The main tenance of the surplus reserve at as high a figure as last week is dependent there- fore, upon a reduction in the deposit lia- biIity through loan contraction.
 Whatever the clearing house showing may be, the additional supply of funds to loan made themselves obvious today.
 The stock market proved broader and active and conspicuous advance in prices was effected. The operations sub sequently of substantial short interest left outstanding as consequence of the recent bearish activity of the professional element were given credit for a good part of the days trading. There was evidence in addition of a resumption of operations on the long side of the market from the game hands which have been responsible for some of the important movements in recent stock market history.
 Vigorous reeoveries in some of the stocks which have hung back in recent movemants. notably the Hill railroad stocks were feature. United States Steel still absorbed large proportion of the total dealings and its aggressive advance formed an effective leader. This was supplemented by fresh strength in Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and Read ing. The copper industrials held a con-
