ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES.

American Wooden, Pfd.-This issue
which receives dividends at the rate
of Z per cent is selling around so, and
Industrial Preferred shares recently
brought out. The American Wooden
Company having no bonded indebted
ness these shares are a first lien on
the assets of the Company. AT pres
ent prices they yield 7.s per cent on
the money invested.
do not anticipate that a readiust-
ment of the tariff on wooden goods
will seriously affect the Company's
earnings and believe the present de-
pressed price is an opportunity to buy
this issue for fair profit. A revival
of commercial activity will be reflect
ed in the earnings of this company

American Cotton oil.-The fiscal
year ending Aug. 31st is expected to
show net earnings of about 100000
equal to about 4 per cent on this

Pennsylvania r. r. Shares.-Earn
ings for the first half of this year in
dictate that this railroad viii earn this
year about . per cent on its stock
against about IA per cent last year
Pennsylvania X. r. stock is favorte
investment among a conservative
class of buyers. Upon the splendid
earnings and future prospects these
shares should sell higher.

Activity IN the stock market has in
creased the demand for money but
rates remain unchanged. This has
been due TO the gradual transference
to London of many large speculative
stock market accounts. Even at the
high rates which obtain offerings Of
desirable commercial paper are not
well taken. New York bankers are
preparing for heavy Withdrawals by
the interior to move the crops. The
London Economist anticipates heavy
demand for banking accommodations
at Berlin during September.
THE STOCK MARKET.
With the advance in prices the mar
ket has broadened and has now ex-
tended to many of the minor issues.
The activity has encouraged several
pools operating in the market to bid
up the shares they are interested in,
Nevertheless outside of any manipu-
lative influence the movement has a
firm basis in the years agricultural
prospects. 1t is now conservatively
estimated that this years crops give
promise of having a money value of
ut least nine billion dollars, an in
creas over last year of six hundred
million dollars This has generated
an optimistic feeling in business cir
Giles and stimulated commercial ac-
tivity Stocks which have been for
sale on advances have been with
drawn for the time being. This has
materially aided the upward move
ment.
Much of the short interest in the
market has been eliminated by the
advance leaving the technical position
weak. If prices are to be carried
much higher another short interest
must be encouraged. Should prices
continue to advance without mod
crate recession from this level 1t
would seem to me that a drastic re-
cesson can be expected when the
market has worked three to five
points higher On the other hand a
recession at this time would seem to
indicate ultimately further advance.

the men to be reckoned with in poll
tics in this locality and yet has never

T. A. Potter was for years associated

deal of the progressive strength of the

Three cornersd Fight.
This makes q three-cornered fight In
this district Congressman Gilbert N.
Haugen was elected over Senator
Adams in the June primary, but two
years ago Hon. d. D. Murphy, demo-
cratic candidate for congress, came
within 2O4 votes of defeating him.
Adams was regarded as standpatter
and the progressive vote went against
him. Mr.. Meyers. Of Oelwein. was
nominated in the June primary but Is
not regarded In the same class as MUIR
ply as campaigner.
Potter 10 Popular.
Potter stands very high in this coun-
ty. While he has been an out and out
progressive he has fought all his poll
teal battlesein the open and has been
loyal to the point of admiration. How
ever he is not and has not been an adj
mirer Of Congressman Haugen and he
believes that he should be succeeded
by q republican and not democrat,
hence he has thrown his hat into the
ring. He will put time, ability and
money into the campaign.

first OF the year. Harp & Roberts will
continue in the flour. grain and feed

It Is not stated what the purchaser

tho it is announced that a new dam
will be built. Whether or not this
means a hydro electric plant can not
be said, altho it is rumored that Mr..
Miller and his. associates will engage
in the electric light business here and
color is given this view by the fact
that Mr.. Miller and his brother are now
successfully operating an electric light
plant by water power at Clermont.
1t is also stated that others than
Mr.. Miller are back of the proposition,
and that he is merely acting on the
behalf Of others. who are planning on
developing the water power here. The
use of the power in the Iowa river to
develop electricity for Eldora, Steam
