MORE cheerful
ON Wall Street
Prospects Of Early End of War
Lend Optimism to Bankers
and Brokers.

New York, Sept. PA decided
change for the better occurred last
week in Wall street sentiment, more
downright cheerfulness and optimism
being displayed than at any time dur.
ing the last month and a half.
Only a week ago bankers and brok-
er5 fatty refused to even discuss the
chances for an early opening of fine
stock exchange. Now bets are being
made freely that the exchange will
be doing business with certain re-
strictions by the middle of October.
Wall streets new lease on life is
based on the growing belief that the
war will be much shorter than was
predicted only a fortnight ago.
1t would be difficult for any one
outside of the financial district to
realize what the last seven weeks
have meant to Wall street. For the
last three years Wall street has had
its sails reefed to a point where tho
absolute shutdown came as a calam-
ity. Thousands and thousands of EN-.
pi0yes have either been discharged Or
siven a vacation on greatly reduced
pay. .'''~

stock houses they have had to draw

head charges and living expenses.
Through it all, however, there has
been no complaint on the part OF eth
er the clerks or the heads of houses.
Wall street, however, is not look
ing for an early return to normal con-
ditions. Its cheerfulness is due to
the prospects Of making a beginning.

COOPERATIVE
Plan PROVES
Big SUCCESS
MANY APPLICATIONS FOR
COMPANY CHARTERS
RECEIVED.
MARKETING Much GRAIN
Idea Spreading to Other Lines,
But Cooperative Store is
MOI So Successful.
Marketing Much GRAIN

That the cooperative method of
marketing Of grain is popular all over
the state is indicated by the number
Of applications for charters for Co
operative companies that are receiv-
ed by Thomas Hall, secretary Of
state. There are several features
about these organizations that dis,
tinguish them from the general run
OF corporations. In the first place
they are composed in the main of
farmers. 1t Is an indication, perhaps,
that the farmers of the state are
rather weary of being obliged to mar
ket their grain at the elevators of the
old line elevator companies. Ten
years ago it is safe t. say there were
no other grain receiving organizations
in the state outside OF these same
line elevator companies. Now the
farmers have invaded that field them
selves and it is thought that approx
matelyspne-third of the grain market
ed insthe state is dumped into the
bins OF farmers elevator companies
or the socalled cooperative ~associa-
tons.
The old farmers elevator company
was a halfway step between the line
elevator and the cooperative eleva-
tor. It was financed in part by the
local banker, o. by men intimately
connected with the line elevator fore
es. This influence can not be found
1t seems in the later organization
which styles itself as a cooperative
association. One feature of the CO.
operative method Of the marketing
of grain which has been a death blow
to outside influences is the restric-
ton Of the voting power that is au-
thorized in all Of the charters issued
to these companies. No matter how
many shares of stock a holder may
own he is entitled to only n vote.
He Is thus placed on a par with the
Ia who only owns one share. An
other feature that appeals to the far
mer, the man who has grain to mar
ket, is the adoption OF the plan or
%pro-rating the profits.
The pro-rating of profits is done
on a patronage basis. Stakeholder A,
for instance, may WI twenty-five
shares of the capital stock, but mar
kets only one thousand bushels Of
grain. Stakeholder B may own one
share, but markets five thousand bu-
