HIGHER PRICES l PREVAIL IN STOCKS rI- Improvement Attributed to
 Favorable Week-End
 Developments

New York, June 19.-A substantially h,aber range of prices prevailed through out the greater part of the day in the stock market and the weakness which was exhibited In the latter part of last week disappeared. The improvement was attributed to favorable developments over the weekend and to some increase In the outside demand for stocks. Although trading fell off somewhat at the higher nrices the inquiry was sufficiently keen to prevent a. setback and to discourage attempts to depress the market. It was not until near the close of the day when nrofts were taken that stocks lost a DOT ton of their gains.
 The succesfsul Notation of the Panama bond Issue was of decided influence in en- couraging a returning spirit of optimism in the financial world and doubtless was responsible to some extent for the course of the market today. The bonds sold "when issued' In large amounts on the "curb' today at 1031s to 1o3 S-16. The rise in price from 1O2A at which they sold on Saturday before the bids were opened indicated that the efforts ranged some what higher than was expected.
 That huge amounts of money are awaiting investment is indicated by the manner in which the issue Is over-sub- scribed, a fact which has aroused ex- pectations of large demand for rail road and other corporation bonds from bidders who were not successful in ob- tainIng a portion of the Panama loan.
 A further favorable influence was found in the government report on iron and steel exports. Erom time to time dur ing the last few months indefinite state ments have been received of the improve ment In this branch of the iron trade. The governments estimate of the aggre- gate value of these exports during the fiscal year placed 1t at more than $5O,- 00o0OO above the highest previous record, a showing which exceeded expectations. The railroad stocks a whole. however, were the strongest in the list. Amal- gamated Copper sold at the high point of the year. .......== t....s.. .-
 The bond market was firm. Total shares, par value, S2,629000.
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 19.-(Special)- )- With poor cables at the opening re- newed liquidation made lower prices and considerable activity during the forenoon. The sharp decline was fol- lowed by slight rally, but reports of rains in Texas and Oklahoma again broke prices. Because of the moisture the weekly bureau report tomorrow Is expected to be almost bearish in tone. The market is exceptionally nervous, with crop prospects, on the whole most hopeful, and the weather the all ab- sorbing topic and factor. The ten dency today shows the instability of prices at the present level, should further rains occur

Must Be a Real Democrat.

The campaign of 1912 will be a plain,
unmistakable, clear-cut discussion and
decision between two lines of national
policy, involving radical differences up
on fundamental points not alone of ma
tional legislation, but of the attitude
and temperament of the federal execu-
tive and federal judiciary as we'll.
The national conscience, not less
than the national intelligence, demand
thorough change, reversal as well
~ revision of the national policy in
many important particulars.
The democratic candidate for presi-
dent next year must be distinctively
democratic. He must be not merely
metropolitan, but he must be posi-
lively anti-republican. He must stand
for the things that Taft does not stand
for. He must represent, individually
and personally, without chance of
question or doubt, all the principles
and policies of progressive democracy.
The success of 1912, now seemingly
assured, can only be contaminated
along the lines of progressive democ
racy, which is true democracy, and
with candidate who shall be in all
essential particulars the apostle and
representative of those progressive
principles. News.

purpose.
Miller & Sons of Clermont were vot-
ed franchise by the Calmar people,
but the council, we understand, refus-
ed to grant the franchise on the ground
that all-night service would not be
given for use on the railroad property
in that city. The town being in need
of light, the council has determined to
try for municipal gas.
