In COMMERCE
AND FINANCE
Significant Developments of the
Week In the World of Stocks
and Bonds.

The already confident feeling in the
financial community increased during the
last week, which was marked by a con-
tinued easier tone in the money markets
in this country and by larger volume OF
trading both in open and private markets.
This trading is now the largest since the
stock exchanges were closed. Another
influence Is to be seen in tho conferences
which have been held in Washington be-
tween international bankers on plans for
taking care OF American obligations
abroad, the opening of the stock ex-
changes both hero and in Europe, the re-
sumption OF trading on the cotton ex-
changes and other general plans to put
business back on a normal basis. Bankers
believe that something definite will re-
suit from these conferences that will con-
Biderably help general conditions.
The bankers in conference agreed that
the New York and Liverpool cotton ex-
changes should open on November 16 for
resumption OF business. simultaneously
with the opening OF the IL new Federal
Reserve Banks. The plan of the $780,
900, 900 cotton pool fund to relieve the

THE PRESS ON
PROSPERITY
Nationwide Optimism Over Pres.
ent Conditions and the Promise
for the Future.

lOE the ruluEcs
There seems to be wide difference Of
opinion concerning tho reasons for pros
perity, but there is no disagreement as
to its certainty. Even before the cleo
ton editorial representatives of all par
ties were marshaling fact and figure to
prove that prosperity was already here.
Optimism OF a sane variety was expressed
in every quarter. regardless of politl-
cal adherence. The cotton question con-
tinues to bob up occasionally; but Its
bobbings are comparatively serene, and
Southern editors seem to be particularly
grateful to Congress for having forced
the South to work out its own destiny In
the matter OF Its great staple. The de-
mand for American manufactures from
abroad continues, and each new order,
from belligerent or neutral, Is hailed joy
fully by the press of the section which
supplies that order. Trade with South
America is now looked upon by editorial
writer's as something much harder to
gain than was first imagined; but as the
Atlanta Constitution has II, there Is
encouraging news of the right and left
wings of business from all along the in

which the swing to Republlcanism was

the corn Is full grown. AS scaven-
ger. even a goat Is not more useful
than sheep.
AS meat-food animals sheep have
never been sufficiently appreciated in
the United States. They are, however,
OF very great value. They must be
classed with hogs and poultry as the
most available animals to supply meat
for home use on the average farm.
They are readily slaughtered, the
meat can be kept without difficulty,
1t cuts up without waste in sizes which
are convenient for the average family,
and the meat Is nutritious, wholesome
and palatable when properly cooked
The healthfulness of the sheep alone
gives 1t front rank as a meat-food
animal. Sheep rarely have tubercu-
losis or other diseases communicable
to man.
The foregoing statements are axio-
matte. II the sheep industry is SO in
viting, why do the farmers seem to be
showing tendency to curtail sheep
raising? There are probably ikfp1
principal causes.
First - Intestinal parasites, pr1nc1-
pally stomach worms, cause rerio1U
losses In farm flocks over the whale
country, and almost entire lamb CROPS
are sometimes exterminated. N no
farming sections are sheep fred from
this danger, and no breed Of shoep Is
immune. although some bree 1a-the
Merinos, for example-are ltAe bus-
ceptible than others. No TihfalIible
cure for stomach worms A. known,
but it is possible to controlzthem eco
nomically by keeping the IarlbA away
from the ewes except when Nursing,
and by SYSTEM of pasturV Notation.
Unless farmer is willing to take pre-
cautions in the management OF the
flock he should not raise shAep.
Second---Cur dogs are x Almost as
great hindrance to the sheep indus
try as parasites. The ouly protection
against them is to keen the flock dur
ing the day where it nan be watched
and to put it into 1og-proof inclos-
ure at night. An aathenuc case has
recently been reported from Michigan
where flock of more tAan 200 head
