With Prohibitionists.

Des Moines, Ia, March 1.-THE
breach of the Iowa temperance forces
Is as wide as ever, as a result Of the
anti-saloon league refusing to join
with the Prohibition Amendment as

however, an organization known as
the Iowa Prohibition Amendment as
sociation was Incorporated
The members pledged themselves to
fight for absolute prohibition, and to
defeat at the polls all delegates who

hibition amendment to vote of the

Saturdays market was a good one, the week
closing in a brllian fashion The call was
very lively and prices nearly all showed an
UP turn; in fact, the recovery on Saturday
Of all stock wiped out all declines made dur
Ing the week, and time the call dull.
As has been usual of late, the oil stocks
monopolized the trading In this list Asso-
ciated firm at Fridays closing quotations.
California Midway. the next good trader,
opened up at So and closed at 81, or fully
point s gain Jade was another surprise. rms
stock was offered at 80 yesterday and seemed
to be weak, but when the call opened the
price was 36A and there was no stock in sight.
Every indication is that this stock will go
higher in the near future, as the property,
from all accounts is an exceptionally good
one and well managed. Palmer Oil was sold
at las. This gain some 10 points for the
week Olinda Land Is another one in which
there has been a good advance. This stock
sold Thursday morning at 571a. Yesterday 1t
closed at 60. Ten shares were sold at that
price, but with no more in sight. Cleveland
oil seems to have reached the bottom and
there Is apparently strong buying movement
on The bid on this stock was 3212 TO 90
Union OIL was stronger at the opening, closing
shade higher than Friday. Union Rights
owing TO the enormous amount of fractional
lots, caused more less confusion at. the
opening of the call. but the brokers finally
got their old fractions matched up and the
caller was able to straighten out the tangle
and trading became lively. New Pennsylvania
was another Of the good traders. 1t seemed
to he in demand and it is fairly active. 1t is
predicted that this stock will sell very much
higher in the near future. Palmer OIL also
was in demand, No. well having commenced
again to flow splendidly. Central 1t Will be
remembered. sold at one time for 2i5; it is now
222. and the best bid is 2l0. Whether the sale
has fallen through not nobody seems to
know, although it's officers claim that 1t VIII
undoubtedly be made very soon.
In the on-producers, Nevada Midway has
moved up TO 80. but no stock was offered lower
than 40 There is chance for a nice proht to
anybody who got in early and, and this Is
entirely due to the legitimate gain warranted
by the production Of the new well just being
put in by the company.
California Hills in the mining list was
shade off. The balance Of the list was com
paratively quiet The industrials showed no
particular change and the bank stocks were
not in demand. and in the bonds, while there
were several bids, there was nothing to report
