Liverpool, July 2O.-The wheat mar
ket at opening was affected bv weak
ness in American markets Yesterday
and values were q to "a lower. Fol
lowing the opening a strong undertone
developed and prices advanced az 70

light. Buying was due to buIlish advices
from Russia, continued unfavorabIe 70
ports from France and firmness Of
Danubian offers. and the strong English
provincial markets. Later there was
some reaction from the extreme adj
vance as the demand was met bv
larger Indian offerings and the larger
cargo arrivals and some profit taking
resulted. The market at midday was
extremely excited and q to IL higher

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
Persons anxious to ascertain the
cause of the advance in the price of
shoes should scrutinize the profit
sheet of the United States Shoe Ma
chinery Corporation, which holds the
stock of the United shoe Machinery
Co., instead of the new tariff law.
They will be much more likely to find
what they seek, for this company con-
trolls the machinery, which every shoe
manufacturer must use, and is not an
eleemosynary institution. 1t has lust
declared an extra dividend of 4 per
cent on the common stock, and a
stock dividend of 10 per cent in addi-
ton to its regular dividends. This
involves the distribution of $9S5,420 in
cash, and 98,462 shares of common
stock of a cash value of S6,6e2,314. The
profits of the shoe machinery company
In 1903, on capital of little more
than $20,000,000, were over Is per
cent. In 10 years this company has
accumulated surplus outside of its
dividends, of nearly $16.000.000. These
figures may explain some things that
have puzzled shoe buyers, especially
since the removal Of the duty on hides.

Ware & Leland: Wheat bought

Finley, Darrell & Co.: While we do
not advise short sales we believe ad-

new INDUSTRIES
FOR MOORHEAD
PLANS ALREADY UNDER WAY TO
USE THE BUSINESS HOUSES
4. THAT WILL BE VACATED WHEN
THE LIQUOR BUSINESS HAS
BEEN DRIVEN OUT.

What will become Of the larger
buildings which are now used as whole
sale liquor houses, after the Indian
commissioner and "Pussyfoot'' Johnson
get through with Moorhead?
That is Question which is being
asked on almost every street corner
nowadays. According to gossip in COM
mercial circles it is pretty well assured
that the owners are not going to allow
them to remain idle, and the head of
one house has been heard to say that
he was not at all averse to being
launched into some other line of bust
ness.
1t was said today that one big house,
If. the end should come, will invest it's
capital in the wholesale grocery bust
ness and put the building to that use.
The thought of establishing a whole
sale grocery house in Moorhead is not
a new one and it is said that ample
capital will be at the disposal of the
promoters If it should be decided upon.
Another business man sees an OPP
portunity to open @ factory for the
manufacture of overalls and mems
working shirts and other kindred
articles. Power is cheap in Moorhead
and he is somewhat familiar with the
industry, as he has relative in the
business in Indiana which was started
in rather small way, but has grown
to proportions so that now the pro-
duct is exported to China and Japan,
etc. A wholesale notion house has
also been spoken Of The city will
not be allowed to dwindle because of
the withdrawal of certain line of
business.

The "Nasty Thing.

Several ladies and gentlemen were
having social chat on the porch of
house not far from Fifth avenue
and Ninth street two or three even
ms ago when desire was expressed
for some ice cream. One of the ladies
remarked that the ice cream peddlar
would be there in a little while and
soon he hove in sight and stopped to
fill an order on the other side of the
street. After the man had filled that
order he licked the big wooden spoon,
he used to transfer the cream from
the freezer to the utensil given him to
fill, with his tongue, and after that
proceeded to fill other orders. The
porch party did not buy fee cream
from that man nor will they any more
from a street peddler.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY


Chicago, July 20.--Wheat: The mar
ket opened firm at 1c advance of
"a to 1c per bushel, with the buying
by largely over night shorts and bulls
and the upturn did not eliminate an
til an advance of nearly &c per bushel
was scored. There was no particular
change in the northwestern news,
there being no rain. Some private re-
ports were inclined to raise the esti-
matc of the yield in the three states.
Threshing returns alone will tell the
story. The news on winter wheat is
rather bearish, with liberal selling by
the country for shipment and rather
dragging cash market in the south
west. Should the tone of foreign mar
kets change on lettering of crop
prospects abroad we would likely get
a temporary setback as a result of
winter marketings. We favor pur-
chases, however, on all good reactions.
