Gains for Leaders.

Although movements Of stocks during
the morning were uncertain, with several
reactions after the opening rise. the mar
ket gradually grew steadier. on a level
which showed general gains for the lead
ers.
Large offerings of Steel made less i'm
preston on the market than yesterday.
and the belief that the shorts were In
danger OF overwhelming their holdings
caused more confident buying.
Steel was forced under yesterdays low
point. but subsequently moved up with
the other leaders. London bought stocks
here, showing a preference for Union Pa
cifc and Steel.
The strong showing made I'm the fort
nightly copper report from Europe help
ed copper stocks. Passing of the quar-
terry settlement period without serious
difficulty abroad and the easier tendency
of money rates here were a decided help
to sentiment.

THE NEWSPAPER AND THE
TOWN,

A newspaper is the only home in
stitution that travels around to dis
tant cities. Buildings and streets
cannot be seen unless one visits a
place. The newspaper goes as far
as the mails.
The home newspaper furnishes a
means by which distant people gain
an idea of the place where it is
published. If a newspaper is newsy
and clean geographically, and has
liberal advertising, every man from
Los Angeles to Eastport who sees it,
gets an idea that the town is alive.
People have no idea how newspa-
pers circulate away from their home
town, Every publisher has a consid-
cradle list of subscribers who form
erly lived where it was published, or
are interested in the place for bust
ness reasons. And people send away
many papers.
If you want your town to cut a
figure before the world, subscribe to
the home paper, and advertise as
much as your business will fairly

vertiser.
