FINANCE
Peace Rumors Revived in Financial
District But Are Seouted-Bank
Statement Call Interesting.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Rumors OF
peace negotiations were revived in
the financial district today. presum.
ably as result of the further report
ed successes OF the allies. They were
secuted In influential circles, where
the belief prevailed that none OF the
contending forces would consider such
proposals pending a decisive battle.
The exchange market. which was
more diversified in its operations than
at any time since the European out
break. continued TO show improve
ment. Rats on London hardened a
trine and a few Reichsmark bills on
Germany were offered via Copen.
hagen. Some business was. done in
France for Paris and an inquiry for
Spanish pesetas offered additional evil
dence OF the markets increasing
breadth
Tentative applications for loans or
short term note issues by various
municipalities whose obligations are
about TO mature were received by
bankers. II is expected that many
states and cities in need of funds will
soon come into this market for eigther
OF these forms OF accommodation.
viii Show Standing.
The call OF the comptroller Of the
currency for a statement OF the condi-
ton of the national banks as OF Sep
TENDER / is of more than ordinary in
teres because II will show the exact
standing Of many institutions which
have not published detailed state
ments since the first week OF August.
In view OF the large deficit reported
by local clearing house banks. II is
a fair assumption that more than al
few national banks in this section are
much below their legal reserves.
Passing of the Republic Iron and
Steel company's preferred dividend
for the current quarter because of
the financial situation growing out of
the war called renewed attention 10
the general state OF that industry and
the dividend statue Of other compan.
les engaged In the same line OF manu-
facture. According to conservative
estimates mills az leading centers are
now operating at sixty per cent Of ca
pacity and 10 is believed that many
will be reduced to a nifty per cent
basis by October.

Bud he picked up a hiclsry nut some

Hen run outen the store to see whot
was the matter and led Bud home to

Why They Was Late

We have been asked why several of
our most respeckted citizens and church
members at that was saw vending their
weary way home last Wensday night a.
late as half past nine.
Them as made inkwiry about this in
sinooated that these citizens was con-
siderable under the wether and that
probably they had beeen lingern too long
over hard cider bari in some moochual
friends seller.
To all stitch evil minded persons we
desire to say that these persons who
are amongst our best citizens was SIM
ply coming home from weekly prayer
mtg. which was helt in the church base
ment. When you know that Deacon
Butterworth prayd you will understand
why they was late home. Sometimes
when the Deacon prays them as attends
prayer mtg. don't git home until 10 p m.
The Deacon is a turrible long winded
prayer.

Axident to Lafe's Teeth

Lafe Perkins, one of our most re-

to his set of store teeth which he pur-
chased new only a month ago at the
co. seat and paid SIS for same.
Ever sinst Late got his new teeth he
has been tryin to git used to the feel
of EN- in his mouth. Being as Lafe
went without no teeth at all for so
long he says that new store set he got
felt awful queer and outen place in his
mouth espeshially when he first put EN-
in in the morning when he got mp beng
as they had cooled off during the night
and was like peece of ice and made
his mouth AXE
LATE thort he might git used to EN-
sooner if he'd wear en- while he slept
but first mite he went to bed with his
store set in his mouth he woked up sud-
dint and coughed and his teeali flew
outen his mouth and lit on the floor
and blamed if they diddent crack rite in
two in the middle.
LATE is turrible put out over the loss
of his teeth. He says he is going to
ask Bill Hepburn our artistick black
smith if he can rivet EN- together for
