as much progress.
In the first hour much of the trading
was in the neighborhood Of Ills for
May. Foreign cables telling of steady
market in Liverpool and comparatively
small shipments helped the bullish SEN
timent. At the opening July was from
% to * higher, and May sold at Ill to
1.11b, a shade lower to a shade higher
than closing prices Friday.

concerns gave a firm tone to corn and

ed to Il higher. May advanced rapidly
from 667s to GIN. At the start May sold
at 66A to g.. A fair demand advanced
prices about II over the opening figures.

Reached Fridays Level.

Business slackened somewhat, but with
the progress of the session further ad-
vances were scored, and in the early
afternoon. despite a good deal of irreg-
ulanty, the market was at about lne
level of Fridays closing. Particular
strength was shown by New York Cen
trail. Union Pacific. c. & O., Reading,
Rock Island, Southern Pacific, American
Smelling, Amalgamated Copper and Unit
ed States Steel in the way in which
they rebounded from depression.
There was such contrast between the
London market on Saturday and the Lon
don market this morning before our open
ing as to warrant suspicion of manipulat-
i've operations, either to facilitate short
covering or to test the strength of the
market, manipulation to which talk
about Mr.. Tafts speech was merely in
cidental.
News developments during the session
were rather meager. They included for
the most part statements of corporate
earnings some of which were published
during the weekend recess. The various
returns made from traction lines in this
city were possibly responsible for the
-irmness which some of the traction
stocks showed. The report of the Ameri-
can Railway Association for February 2,
showing a decreases of 1859 cars in the
net surplus of idle cars during the pre-
ceding fortnight, did not indicate that
trade reaction had become very important
by that time.

NEW YORK, February 14.-Rather an
abrupt reversal of form was displayed
by the stock market this morning. Fol-
lowing the steady progress in strength
which the market made toward the end
of last week, our stocks rose sharply In
London Saturday. apparently on the con-
tinuation of short coverings
About the only development over the
holiday which was or could be cited In
explanation of the change which de-
veloped in the early dealings today was
the address which President Taft made
in this city Saturday night.
There was, to be sure. the announce
ment of the Central Foundry receivership
which. while lacking in Importance, might
nevertheless be regarded as Significant in
view of the general recognition that some
thing mo than a seasonable lull had de-
veloped in general business conditions.
Nevertheless the company's lack of work.
ing capital is not supposed to be charac-
teristis of the industrial situation, and
merchants. moreover, are coming forward
with statements that far there is rela-
lively more talk of trade reaction than
actual reaction itself. AS for Mr.. Taft's
address, not much needs to be said of it,
in view of the way in which the stock
market acted after the early transactions.
There is no doubt that the speech as a
whole was not a constructive factor in
security prices.

Reflections on Speech.

II the low range of early prices today
rejected this speech in any. way, how
ever, it reflected in the first place disap-
pointment because of exaggerated expec
tations based on the reports from Wash
ington last Friday, and in the second
place. a feeling that the political situa-
ton had not been helped by the further
administration Endorsement of last year S
tariff revision, nor by the references
which were made to the disturbing effects
of certain laws when enforced. On the
other hand the practical admission that
the proposal for federal charters for in
terstate commerce corporations was aca-
demc at this time furnished the basis of
some encouraging deductions. All told,
though. the speech did not weigh long
upon the market nor upon Wall street S
mind.
The initial range of quotations today
was at about the low levels previously
established in London. In the subsequent
early dealings still lower prices were
made, bringing quotations down from
to points below the figures reached In
London Saturday. Whoever was doing
the selling did not succeed. however, in
forcing out any great supplies of stock
and before the end of the first hour a
general rallying movement developed.

cry box Of apples sold in the booth

The cost of the apples and ex-
press charges will not be more than
is required to cover the actual ex-
pense," said Ren H. Rice, secretary
and manager of the show. 1T is
not the desire Of the apple show or
ganization to make a profit from this
concession, but rather to afford vis-
itors an opportunity to remember
their friends with a real souvenir of
the exposition, at the same time

The new charter provides that the
three commissioners shall be chosen
al the regular election in November,
and that they shall take office the
first Tuesday in December, which is
December s. That is the date on
which the new charter will become
effective and on which the new Off
GERS will take up their official duties.
The general provisions Of the char
YER are so well known that they do
not need to be given here. A copy OF
the new charter was left at every
heme in the city and those not famil-
lar with its provisions can easily OBJ
tain any desired information. The
present ordinances of the city will
continue in force.
Baker City is the first municipality
in Oregon to adopt the commission
plan of government, Other cities are
considering it but Baker is the first
TO vote en- 4 and adopt it.
One good thing about the charter
is that it changes the name of the
municipality from Baker City to Ba-
ker. The new name is short and
worth just as much as If city were
tackled onto the END Of it,
There is general rejoicing over the

a display fit for the fair. And to the

BAD BLOOD
OFTEN Inherited

Bad blood does not always come as
the result of careless living, or indis-
cretious; it is condition frequently
inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions of tiny red corpus.
cles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element Of the circulation,
their office being to provide every
portion Of the system with its reces-
sary strength and nutriinent. In
weak, impure blood these corpuscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is not able to supply the
proper amount Of ncurishment to the
body. Bad blood manifests itself in
many ways. With some it takes the
form Of skin diseases and eruptions,
others become bilious and malarious,
with sallow complexions, torpid liver,
etc. Bad blood produces Rheumatism
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula
and like troubles. Nothing is equal
to S. S. S. as remedy for bad blood;
it is the greatest OF all blood purifiers,
