WEAKNESS
IN STOCK MARKET
Adequate Support Was Lack
: ing and the Trading Ner-
vous and Unsettled

New York. Sept. 14-Acute weak
ness once more developed in the stock
market today. The eager gains of
yesterday were swept away before an
attack which. as the session progress
ed, became increasingly severe and in
ficted some heavy losses. Adequate
support was entirely lacking. Trad
Ing was nervous and unsettled. The
lack OF substantial demand from any
source undoubtedly emboldened the
bear party to renew its attack and
the raid, which sent prices tumbling
toward the end of the session was
one of the most spirited of recent
weeks.
Union Pacihc's decline, at the low
price of the day was within q frac-
ton Of four points, one Of the most
severe drops Of this stock during the
summer. Missouri Pacific and New
Haven lost the same amount and both
OF these stocks as we'll as New York
Central sold at their lowest prices
since 1908. A number of prominent
issues, including Reading, Southern
Pacific. Canadian Pacific, st. Paul and
Amalgamated Copper lost two points
or more. The list Of new low rec
ords for the year embraced a large
share of the leaders. The market raj
lied briskly before the close, under
the influence Of short covering, re-
gaining part of the days losses.
The depression in several railroad
stocks was attributed to some extent
to doubt whether the divided rates
would be maintained. This was espe-
cially true Of New Haven, which
also was affected by the unfavorable
annual report Of the Boston and
Maine, n Of its chief subsidiaries.
News from the iron and steel trade
was another discouraging factor. The
weekly trade reviews seemed to con-
firm earlier statements that the vol
ume Of business was falling below
that Of August. Price cutting Of the
steel industry has become widespread
although in most cases prices have
not fallen far below the levels reach
ed earlier in the year.
Europe played less Of a part In to-
days market. Transactions for Eu-
ropean account were estimated at 49,
900 shares. about evenly divided be.
tween purchases and sales. Interna-
tional bankers said that the extent
of oversee selling during most Of

TRANSFER FUNDS
Use $150.O60 Of School and Wolf
Bounty Funds for General Purposes

eHOS&S
Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. 14-It has
ben found necessary to transfer state
funds to meet the expenses of the
state government. Yesterday $4,000
from the wolf bounty and 500, 900
from the school funds was transfer
red to the general fund. This makes
about s201,000 available in the gen.
eral fund but as there are bills of
about $4,000 awaiting payment the
general fund will soon be depleted.
AS there will be little evenue COM
ing into the state treasury before 1912
1t will be necessary to borrow from
the permanent school fund to meet the
running expenses of the state govern
ment. There is at present in the per-
manent school fund approximately
$4,000. The state can borrow from
this fund sufficient to meet demands
until the regular taxes come in.

WELLS A SUCCESS
Railroad Finds That Source of Supply
o Good Substitute.

Hettinger, N. D., Sept. 14.-Almost
complete success is attending the ex-
periments conducted by the st. Paul,
Milwaukee and Chicago railroad along
this line in the construction of a &C.
ries of wells for the purpose of afford
ing an ample water supply at all
times. The wells that were dug in
this city. twenty-five in number and
each about forty feet deep, are suf-
ficient to maintain a lengthy supply
for the railroads use when the usual
source of supply, a nearby lake, is
too low.
With the ucces attained here the
company probably will continue SINH
lar operations at other points along
the line.

MilIhand Muat Walt.

4 In 1881 James G.. Blaine was the
foremost American champion of high
protection. In June Of that year he
as secretary OF state sent to congress
a report on the cotton goods industry.
In this document he submitted a mass
OF statistics on which he based this
statement:
Undoubtedly the inequalities in the
wages Of English and American oper-
atives are more than eQualized by
their greater efficiency and their.
longer hours Of labor. !. In the
two prime factors which may be said
to form the basis Of our cotton manu-
featuring 4iindustry-namely. raw ma
terial and labor, we hold the adj
vantage over England in the first, and
stand upon an equality in the second"
That meant that thirty years ago
we could beat the world in the cheap
production OF cotton goods, for Eng
land could easily beat any other COM
petitor. It meant that our manufac-
turers could hold the home market
without tariff help.
Yet they are still getting this help
Just as they were thirty years ago.
and the national labor bureau finds
that precious little OF 1t gets past their.
stockholders and their treasury into
the pay envelopes Of their hired men
and women and children.

pat guardians must wait-how much
longer?-for commission report.

probably never was a people in the
world with greater capacity for pay
ing taxes. It is true that that capacity
,is declining somewhat-or at least
there is less resignation than there
once was. Men and women are be-
ginning to ask why they can not get
what they need without being forced
to- pay tribute to protected favorites.
They are coming to see that reci-i
procity is not the only recourse. For
we have full power to, lower or re-
move taxes without waiting for the
action Of any other government. Reel
procity is merely an awkward device
for getting what we can get at any
time by the enactment OF law to which
the consent of no government but our
own would be necessary. We are the
masters OF our own destiny. and 80

SLAVERY WHICH DIsGRAcEs.
Conditions Of Labor In the Steel In.

Deplorabls.

Our great iron and steel industry
how proud we are of It! How we
have coddled and protected it and
watched it grow! How marvelously
1t has been manipulated and turned
and twisted and bought and sold and
amalgamated and incorporated and
combined and formed into giant
trusts! How Arms and corporations
have been drawn into the big net, by
force or otherwise, and then capital
lied criminally far beyond their In
trinsic value, so that the stock after
wards foisted upon the public was
waterlogged to greater degree than
the most hopeless derelict that still
succeeds in floating! What nice divi-
dends have been paid upon all this
watered stock which has been mar
keted, as upon the millions Of such
stock pocketed by the barons of the
great industry as rewards for bring
ing about the various amalgamations!
Wonderful thing, this iron and steel
industry. giving employment to thou
sands and thousands of men, helping
to make our nation great and pros
porous and creating constantly IN.

whose fortunes are the wonder of the
world! Sure. we're proud of it.
But, wait minute. Secretary Ma

United States senate that he had In

nected with practically the entire in

OF this vast army Of industry one

day differing in no respect from the
other six days. Fully one-fourth Of
the 10000 men work not only seven

10000 of these iron and steel en-

PROMOTERS SHOWN UP
FACTS REVEALED BY STEEL
TRUST INVESTIGATION.
That the Public Has Been Robbed OF
Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars
10 One Point Made Very
-l Clear.

There are excellent reasons why OBJ
serving citizens have not regarded the
Stanley street trust Investigation with
confidence. Belief even has obtained
in well-infOrmed quarters that Con-
gresham Stanley is "four-fiushing.
No opportunity was overlooked to
call before the committee men whose
prominence In politics or business was
certain to insure wide publicity.
Whether the facts to which they testi-
fed were equally important seemed to
be secondary consideration.
At the same time, Congressman
Stanley carefully has refrained from
interrogating witnesses who might
have given definite and discriminating
information in regard to habitual use
Of the huge capital Of the trust to ma.
Eipuiate the stock market and to plum.
der honest investors.
Inadvertently. however. sufficient
facts have been elected to convict the
steel trust of wanton violation Of the
law. as well as ethics of decent bust
ness.
1t has been shown that the trust
was overcapitalized by more than
S700,000,000, which practically repre-
sents profit to insiders by selling stock
which had no tangible value behind it.
1t has been shown that j. P. Morgan
& Co. received $3.50, 100000 for their
part in this gigantic stock-promoting
scheme, and that another scheme to
"get $50,000,000 for nothing" was ct
tempted and failed
The testimony showed that the
panic Of 1907 was accelerated and
used as lever to obtain control Of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company,
thus giving the trust q monopoly Of
high-grade ore.
That President Roosevelt was pre-
vailed on to assist in this reprehen-
sible transaction was admitted by the
former president himself.

record in spite of obvious efforts to
steer the investigation away from the
real crux Of the evil. They are suf1.

Terrible Toll Demanded Of Men who

far as to mutter: "One of the stokers
Jolly hard work in this weather."
But they know nothing of the grim

Rising Prices.

1t may be that reciprocity would
not have lowered prices. but the de-
feat of reciprocity is at least made
the pretext for raising them. So we
must have been enjoying the result Of
reciprocity ever since congress rati-
fled the agreement. In such cases as
this the effects Of legislation are. as
we know, often discounted. 1t may
have been so here. At any rate there
is general advance in the price of
foodstuffs. We know what has hap

said that we shall have to pay more

Near-MIIk Of Japan.

Cows are not numerous in Japan.
but the Japanese are fond Of milk.
and to meet this demand in the face
of natural shortage they long ago
put their wits to work and evolved a
product that the average person can
not distinguish from the regular
dairy article.
The artificial milk is derived from
the sofa bean. The beans are first
soaked, then boiled in water. Present
ly the liquid turns white; sugar and
phosphate of potash in proper guam
titles are added and the boiling con-
tinued until a substance the thickness
of molasses is obtained. This fluid
corresponds very accurately with or
binary condensed milk, and when
water is added cannot be told from
fresh.-Harper's Weekly.
