FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
READING MOVEMENT CHECKED
BY the Stffenins of the Money Market
Speculation Restrained.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The worlds
money market responded again today
to the strain of preparations for the
coming October settlements The pri-
vate discount rate was higher in Lon
don. Berlin and Paris and the result
ing demand for remittance from New
York caused responsive advance in
the foreign exchange rate here. The
rise in the London discount rate was
sharp and gave point to the prediction
that the expected advance in the Off
cial discount rate of the Bank of Eng
land tomorrow would be a full ] per
cent instead of 1-2 per cent, establish
ing a per cent. basis. The call money
rate in New York was held at IA
per cent. and above, marking the high
est rate since the last week in July
The coming disbursement of $4,000
600 in New York for dividends and in
terest necessitates some preparation by
shifting of accounts and this is expect
ed to be of only temporary effect to be
followed by the return Of the sums dis
bursed either by re-deposit or by in
vestment purchases.
The better tone of the recent bond
market is ascrihed to investment de-
inand partly on that account. Besides
this temporary pressure on the money
market. it is evident that interior de-
mand for crop moving purposes is not
yet filed
The restraint on the speculation ex-
ercised by the stiffening of the money
market was enpha sized by the check
to the movement in Reading. That
stock still absorbed large proportion
Of the aggregate dealings in the mar
ket and was freely supplied in realiza-
ton of profits on the recent advance.
The failure of confirmation of reports
hich helped the advance left the stock
vulnerable to the effect of the realizing.
IT'S range was narrow but the whole
list moved in close sympathy with it
The large amount of space given to
politics in the days news attract its
share Of attention in the stock mar
ket, but the Interpretation of events on
the part of stock operators was con-
fused and indecisive. Little influence
was apparent in the movement Of
prices from that source.
The belief that a substantial absorp-
ton of bonds by investors, especially
By institutions. had been accomplish
ed in the recent past had an encourag-
ing effect on financial sentiment. The
revival of such demand and it's restora-
ton to effective proportions is regard
ed as a necessary preliminary to any
substantial recuperation of stock mar
ket values, or to any widespread par
ticipa ton in stock market operations.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, s2460,000. United States
bonds were unchanged in the bid price
on call.

IsBIsTER AT CENTER,
HERBERT FOR GUARD
Shift Makes Improvement in Academy
Line up-Coach Aultman Gets Points
at Yale Wesleyan Game.

Coach Aultnan of the Academy foot
ball team was in New Haven on We'd
nesday to pick up some points at the
Yale Wesleyan football game, but
Captain Mccormick had the red and
white squad out for practice and kept
them working at formations at lively
shape. Fullback Smullens took the
backfield men in charge. practicing
them on quick starting and other ways
of improving their work behind the
line, while Captain Mccormick gave
the rest of the candidates practice in
charging, blocking, and interference.
One change that has been made in
the line is to change Isbister from
guard to center. taking Herbert from
center and putting him at guard, with
the result that there has been great
improvement in the way the ball is
sent back to the runners. The eleven
will be rounded into good shape for
the Saturday game against Windham
high and the outlook is that practically
the same men will play who were in
the game a week ago.

feated Dickinson college this afternoon

the first touchdown by plunge
through tackle and making the second
score for Pennsylvania possible by
forward pass.
Paul Brown. left guard of the Dick
inson team. was injured in the first
period of the Pennsylvania Dickinson

ANOTHER
BIG DANCE
New Years Eve the Boilermakers
and Machinists Will Give a Dance
In the Opera House

The boilermakers and machinists,
encouraged by the successful dance
given by the Switchmen Christmas
eve, have decided to give dance
New Years eve.
A large number of tickets have
been sold SO that they are guaranteed
a good crowd. Dreyer's Orchestra
had made arrangements to play at
the Trainmen's dance to be given in
Three Forks that night so that it was
necessary to get the Lewistown Or
chestra. 1t is unnecessary to cem-
ment on the music for the Lewistown
players always deliver the best.
The committee on introduction is
we'll qualified to show all good time.
The boilermakers and machinists,
like the Switchmen, do things right,
so that those who attend are guar
anteed as good time as they had at
the dance last Saturday night. This
will be the last of the big dances for
a while and those that enjoy the pas
time should avail themselves of this
opportunity.

McQUITTY LEFT

Representative |. S. McQuitty From
This County Left Wednesday

Representative l. S. McQuitty,
whose home is at this place, left
Wednesday for Helena where he will
remain until after the adjournment
of the legislature. This is Mr.. Nc
Quitty's first appearance in Montana
politics, but Notwithstanding this,
much is expected from him. AL
though not an old resident of the
county he was elected by a large ma
jority, receiving more votes than any
one of the four nominees.
Mr.. McQuitty is a clean, upright
business man, commanding the re-
spect of all his acquaintances and
always lighting for fair play. He is
not tied down by any OF the inter
ests and will undoubtedly make one
of the best public servants ever sent
to Helena from this county.

Little Girl Sets Her Dresses on Fire

One of the SadeSt accidents in the
history of fatal Christmas tree occur
renceS fell to the most unfortunate
lot of a Butte family this week. Mr..
ing at 1872 Pine street in Silver Bow
Park addition, East Butte, lost their
eldest child, a remarkably bright and
attractive little girl, in a manner
every feature of which is pathetic.
1t was the eighth birthday of the
child. and ier desire lhat u beautiful
Christmas tree that had been bright
with blazing candles the night before,
should be relighted in honor Of her
birthday, led to the tragedy that Las
brought the deepest grief inCo the
lives of her parents, many of whose
friends mourn for them as if it was
their own loss. The parents are pros
trated with grief, and can scarcely
realize that 50 heartrending loss has
come to them SO closely following a
Christmas day that was full of holiday
happiness for the family.
The little girl in lighting the can
dies set her dresses on fire and rushed
into the streets. Before the flames
could be smothered the little one was
burned SO badly that death ensued in
few hours.

MONTANA CROPS
SHOW GROWTH
Crop Reports for the Past Year
Show Montana as Great Asri-
cultural State.

A Washington special concerning
the agricultural growth Of Montana
is as follows:
Montana's remarkable progress in
agriculture is shown in crop reports
for the past year made public Wednes-
day by the department of agricul-
ture.
The value of the great majority Of
crops, hay, oats, wheat, potatoes, flax
seed, barley, corn and rye is $50, $780,
900 for 1910. The acreage for these
crops is ,579,OO Had it not been
for drouth these figures would have
been greatly increased.
Hay leads, with a value of $l0,5OO,-
600; production was 100000 tons from
600, 900 acres. In 1908 the value of
the hay crop was IS, 76S, 900
Oats comes next in value with a
production of $4,000, 900 bushels from
$50, 900 acres, valued at So, $4,000. In
1908 the production was 10, 800, 600
bushels.
There is an enormous increase in
the wheat yield compared with two
years ago. In 1903 the production
was less than 100000 bushels. This
year the production of winter and
spring wheat is 1O,560,00O bushels
from 100000 acres, valued at S9,OSl,-
900.
Potatoes added 81, $4,000 to the
states wealth, the production being
100000 bushels from 25,OO0 acres.
Montana is now the fourth state i'm
rank in the flax seed industry, with a
production of 600 bushels from
&c, 900 acres. The value of the crop
for 1910 is 81, 00S,0
This years barley crop is worth
1903, 600, the production being l,456,-
600 bushels from 900 acres.
In 1908 Montana raised only "a, 600
bushels of corn. This year corn jumps
to lS4 900 bushels from 5000 acres,
with a value OF $l75, 900.
Rye is last on the list with a pro-
duction of only so, 900 bushels, valued
at $54, 900.
These figures show the great strides
/ made by Montana farmers in the past
two years. In percentage of gain
they are equaIed by one or two other
western states. Had it not been for
the drouth last summer Montana
would undoubtedly have taken the
lead in agricultural progress.
