weather map was more favorable than
otherwise as rains were reported in the
drouth districts of the Atlantics Shores
however, were heavy buyers ON and i'm

The fall in rentes and consols was looked
upon as an unfayorable feature and pre-
vented buying for long account. At the
end of the first half hour of business the

The rise continued until prices were

Tere fresh short selling set in and the
market fell off to within a point of yes

weather reports were called rather unfav-
orable, but they did not have much effect
because of the many rumors afioat re-
garding the European political situation.
At no time was there any buying for
long account of consequence in evidence,
and there were signs that the constant
buying by shorts was rapidly putting the
market in a less oversold condition than
for some time past At noon prices were

LIKE GROWING MONEY

Rapid City Journal: If the lack Of
the usual amount of moisture in this
district the present year is deplorable
it furnishes something by way of
compensation. 1t bids fair to make
good the most extrayagant claims as
to the value of the lands of Western
South Dakota for the growing Of
alfalfa seed. In one instance ranch
man who has $50 acres in alfalfa on
non irrigable land states that his
seed crop over this entire area prom
ises a tremendous yield. If this
statement is justified, and there is no
apparent reason to believe the con
trary, this alfalfa field the present
year will produce crop worth
enough to justify price of several
hundred dollars per acre for the land.

expect to secure when they get an
opportunity at there lands. There
will be about 100000 acres of land
left for entry after the Indian selec-
tons. OF this 10000 acres, or 125

ed as the best lands left open; about
four times that amount has been
listed as second in grade and is APP

among this list will be found land
which will no doubt suit some of the
settlers as well 40 the higher priced

There are parts of it that the great

That is what they are beginning to
do now and If one looks back at that

of all farming comparison, it will be
seen that the state of South Dakota
