Stand Hat in Hand in All
Insurance Offices
Pleading for Policies on Ship
ments Of Gold.

New York. July 29.-The New York
STOCK exchange was almost the only
security market in the world to show
strength and stability today while Lon
oon ana Paris were discouraging trad
ing and many other foreign exchanges
were entirely closed because Of de-
moraltxed conditions resulting from
the Austro-Servian war. This market
not only continued to absorb further
neavy offerangs from across the water,
put the short interest turned out an
we'll.
Even at the record high rate today
OF $4,000 per million the demand for
insurance on gold shipments showed
no dimtnution. Bankers stood. hat in
hand. In all the underwriting offices
awaiting their turn to beg for insur-
ance. The applications were SO large
that only the heads of insurance Of
fices could pass upon them. Such was
the demand that the line of appli-
cants in the offices of the marine COM
panies some times reached beyond the
office doors. All of the underwriters
refused absolutely to cover any ves-
sells carrying the Austrian flags.
II the demand keeps up there Is lit
tie doubt that the underwriters will is
sue before tomorrow all the policies
they care to take for gold to be sent
to the steamships Vaterland and
Oceanic sailing on Saturday.
If the $13.O0O,OOO shipped yesterday
should be held up on the high seas for
one week, the underwriters would have
to pay over SIT, 200, figuring the mon
ey as being worth per cent.

STILL GOING down.
Gasoline Price Is on Another HAN
Cent This Week.

The price of gasoline has taken an
other slump. This week there has been
a drop of a half cent, and the price at
Topeka is today 1917 cents a gallon.
1t was last November when the price
was a fraction over seventeen cents
that the gasoline war began. The tre-
mendous development of the Midcon-
tinent field and the phenomenal rise IN
the output OF Kansas and Oklahoma
started the right on prices. Topekh
firms that have a stock Of gasoline oh
hand will suffer a hardship as a result
OF the latest reduction. p. A. Fairbank.

Our appropriations for the ensuing
year aggregate more than a billion
dollars. Twenty years ago when Tom
Reed was Speaker of the House, they
reached this stupendous figure, and
when the people complained, Reed ex-
planned that this was billion dollar
country. His party lost out the year
following, however. Our appropria-
tions seem to be far too large. They
are as great in one year now as they
were during a period of 81 years just
prior to the Mexican war. Too much
money spent on the regular army for
the results attained. Millions for war

MURPHY AND BATES
SPEAK At BISMARCK
500 IMMIGRATION AGENTS
AROUSE THE CITIZENS OF THE
CAPITOL CITY-A HUNDRED
ENTHUSIASTS HEAR THEM .Ex.
PLAIN NEW PLAN. ~

]. S. Murphy, immigration agent Of
the 500, and John ]. Bates, assistant
immigration agent, addressed q hum
dred businessmen at the Commercial
club rooms at Bismarck Monday night.
The crowd was so interested that not
a man left the club while the ad-
dresses were being made and for an
hour after the meeting broke up, they
stood in groups about the place and
discussed the propositions outlined by
the speakers.
Mr.. Bates spoke first. He spoke of
the advantages Of that section of the
state in it's soil. coal deposits. climate
and transportation facilities, but cited
his hearers to the fact that people
were going away faster than others
came in to take their places. The
government has been so liberal with
its homestead lands that many not ac-
tual farmers acquired it and then left
to engage in other avocations.. He ex-
planned the Soo's new immigration
plan and made it clear that the 500
was not trying to engage in the real
estate business, but on the other hand
to work hand in hand with the real
estate dealers.
Mr.. Murphy paid his compliments to
Bismarck as q city beautiful and pro-
phecied that the city would become
from its geographical location, great
as well as q beautiful city. He said
that Burleigh county was raising more
corn than any other county in the
state and said that this ought to be
advertised as corn and stock state
He said the 500 was not going into
the real estate business ss-merely want

On New Years day the first furry
of snow during the entire winter visit
ed some sections of the state, but like
the April shower, it served only to
clear the atmosphere, following which
we have had the most perfect weather
that any country could wish. One or
two Of the papers that were issued
about that time came out in scream
ing headlines and heralded the fact
that King Winter sweeps over North
Dakota and the mercury falls before a
searching wind.
This section Of the state does not
take kindly to such reports when they
are not correct and as an illustration
we herewith publish an extract from a
letter received from Ira d. Bush, q
Tagus hardware dealer, representing
the commercial club Of that place:
"You know as we'll 40 /, the results
of such outlandish reports, and espec.
