Why doesn't the Boise States
man or Capital News start a
ready-print service for the benefit
of the country press of Idaho? ?
1t should be a profitable side line
for either paper; they have the
facilities, I'd their patents
might be culled from the contents
of their dallies, and it would be
a great convenience to the Idaho
small-town papers.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There was an unusually good demand
at today's meeting of the Stock Exchange
for items on the bond list, and a number
OF transactions were made in securities
of this class and on better levels than
those on which recent sales have been
made. 1t has been noticed for some days
past that bonds were in better demand.
and as a consequence the downward
movement has been checked.
The railway stocks did not share in the
advance to higher levels. but they were
quite active, and a number Of transac-
tons were made. but on the lower levels
OF recent days. Capital Traction stock
sold In small lots on a range Of from
1905 to 1907 Washington Railway COM
mon stock sold at 81, Ito shares in all,
practically exhausting the supply at that
lots of twenty-five shares sold at 9O$ and
903s. with broken lots at 81 and 9OB. The
stock was for sale at the latter figure,
with the bid quarter of a point less.
There was no change in the prices for
gas. but the buying was better. as 175
shares were traded In. The prices were
714s and II, and at the close Il was asked
and the bid was an eighth Of point less.
The bid for options at III was renewed,
as also the bid of 20 for 100 shares.
Twp hundred shares of LanstOn sold
at u. and that was the bid for more,
witty the asking price at 50.
Allan E. Walker was today elected
secretary Of the Stock Exchange. to fill
the vacancy caused by the election of
Benjamin Woodruff to the presidency.
MFR. Walker is one of the younger men
of the exchange. both in point Of years
and in membership.

The market opened at q decline of
points to an advance of points, near
months rejecting a continuation of
yesterdays scattering liquidation, while
in spite of favorable view Of the
weather map, the new crop was higher
on covering and in response to better
cables. Bull leaders gave the old crop
support at the opening figures, and as
offerings were not aggressive prices
soon firmed up with the later positions.
After selling up to a net advance of
about Sa10 points, with May contracts
touching 14.94 and October 1915. during
the early session, the market eased off
from the best under realizing. The bull
leaders who had given the market sup
port early seemed to have withdrawn
their buying orders. but offerings were
restricted by unfavorable new crop ad-
vices. and the market at midday was
quiet at a net advance Of about GAG
points.

considerable time afterward he re-
manned on the island as one of the per-

Is devotional book with Napoleon

His story has been thoroughly sifted by
the sisters, who, in their Investigations.

Prof. G. L. Rulings was in our town
one day the past week. We think Obi
on should be proud of her school super
with one exception, and that
is he wants to concentrate our schools.
II we are not mistaken, he wants to ed
ucate one boy and two girls and when
the three finish their course in school
the two girls make better grade than
the man when they make application
for certificate But he wants to put
the man in as principal Of concen-
trated school at $50 per month and the
two girls at $40 each as assistant teach
ers. Goodness, Professor HooLIGAN.
