There is an enthusiastic Republican
organization in that eastermost sec

pected.

pole and line, but no trace of II could
be found. Thursday while Attorney,
John Patterson, w. d. B0sler,7fE. d.
Cartwright and w. H. TuIiy, were
fishing on the same lake, Patterson
had abite, and the reel sped outA some

FRlDAY-The reactionary undertone

in small volume. If anything, the market

MONDAI-On a very light volume of
business. the bulk OF which was profess

within very narrow limits While no
marked pressure was directed against
any particular group OF stocks. the ten

and some disappointment was expressed
at the failure of the market to continue

news was without direct bearing on Sc
curi,ies values. although the suspension
by the Interstate Commerce commission
of livestock rates which were to have be-
come operative today, was accounted
something Of an adverse factor. Advices
from western traffic managers were uni

issues. including Reading. Union Pacific.

United States Steel. Amalgamated Copper

vances. Sentiment was more cheerful,
on tho whole, traders taking the ground
that the immediate outlook seems con-

fact that many contingencies have al
