Steel Trade Unsatisfactory.

The steel mills received small satisfac-
ton from trade developments of the week.

outlook to encourage belief in any i'm
portant gain in business during the third
quarter
The railroads are still conservative. The
Pennsylvania refusal to release working
orders on its rail requirements caused the
Sparrows Point mill to close. The rail
mills during the week reported orders for
only 13.OO0 tons. The Southern railway,
81 90 tons to the Ensley mill. The only
important car order was $50 for the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western. Loco
motive works are still looking for con-
tracts.
The June statement of the United
States Steel Corporation showing gain Of
$4,000 tons in untitled orders. indicated a
substantial increase in new contracts, but

Trade News Encouraging.

The day was not without its brighter
aspects. which included announcement Of
an advance of 81 to 81 in steel wire prod
ucts and greater optimism respecting
general trade prospects. Crop news
helped to confirm the weeks earlier ad-
vices.
In the latter dealings full recoveries
were made by the issues in which ini-
tial weakness was shown, but unex-
planned declines in American Telephone
and Telegraph and Western Union again
created unsettlement with an irregular
close.
Actual cash loss shown by the banks
was a little more than Sl30O0.0O0 or
about half of the widest estimates. with
reserve decrease Of about 100000. On
the whole the exhibit was more favor
able than had been expected.
Total bond sales today (par value)
were S664.OOO.
Bonds as a whole reflected the weeks s

Doubt Rules in Market.

The stock market maintained its mood
of doubt and hesitation through the
week. Influenced by confusing factors.
These were balanced in financial. indus
trial and political affairs. The govern
ment's July first crop estimates were
supplemented by good weather condi-
tons since that date. The firm under
tone Of speculation for the greater part
of the week was due mostly to that
cause Day-by-day expectancy of the
rate decision was a constant constraint.
Importance was attached to the forty
fold applications for the French loan. Ap-
plications untitled may be said to meas
ure the resources of investment demand
for future capital issues. The drawback
was in political rumblings in eastern
Europe, the aftermath of the Austrian
assassination. and also in trade depres-
sion abroad as result of reduced bor-
rowing power of importing nations.
Quick sale Of the Northern Pacific bond
offerings and movements in old syndicate
holdings of some other bonds marked a
better turn in investment conditions here.
On the other hand. large July maturities
of short-term notes kept call-money rates
sitter Belated liquidation in low-grade
special stocks and bonds was unsettling-
President Wilson's friendly professions
for big business and the conferences at
the White House over the trust bills were
a market subject. but Wall street senti-
ment was sensitive as to the course OF
the Senate on the federal reserve board

Will Help Bank Loans.

The fact that the Secretary stands WILL
ing to deposit Treasury funds will enable
the banks throughout the country to loan
out on a much more liberal scale than
otherwise would be a prudent policy.
They know that should the market sud
denly firm up they can apply to the rov-
ernment. Thus they can put out their
own funds and reserve a much narrower
margin than otherwise would have been
desirable.
1t is pointed out in authoritative
sources that there Is no undigested Sc
curity problem to solve this year, such
as has been the case during former years
of business depression. When corpora
ton borrowers found several months ago
that 1t was difficult to sell bonds at ad-
vantageous terms they simply did not
put them out. The great issuing banking
houses would not issue them. This atti-
tude was immensely helpful and did a
great deal to save the American markets
from the sort of disturbance that has
caused much trouble at both London
and Paris.
when the reinvestment demand becomes
a factor In the United States again the
movement will gain great headway
and provide for the permanent lodgment
of an immense volume of high-grade Sc
curities with real investors. Such q de-

Rail Business Shows Increase.

During tho past fortnight there has
been a marked increase in the passenger
and freight business on all the railroads
in the Pittsburgh district. and this fact
has caused the unemployment of the
men formerly suspended. Both the trar-
ic department and the repair shops and
roundhouses show the effect of improved
conditions. The Baltimore and Ohio has
put several hundred men at work re-
heavy fall traffic All Of these were men
who had been suspended. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company also has ordered
that every available freight car shall be
made ready for use, and many men have
been employed for the work.
The dividend and interest disburse-
ments paid out on July I are always the
largest of the year, and this years dis
bursements were accomplished with little
difficulty by the banking institutions. The
accumulation Of funds for this purpose
companied by a coincident demand for
income taxes and the corporation excise
tax. which were due for final payment
June 80. Therefore the fact that the ad-
vance in money rates did not exceed 3
per cent may be accepted as evidence
that the supply Of funds is likely to re-
main sufficient for requirements during
the next few months. Some western
bankers. in response to the circular that
was sent out about fortnight ago by
Secretary McAdoo asking suggestions to
government funds this year to banks in
the agricultural section. have replied that
they will not themselves need these funds
this year.

EARLY BOOM IN coal.
TRADE IS FORE:SEEN
Contract for Supplying $4,000 Tons to
South American Firms Placed
in Quaker City.

Predictions of an immediate boom
in the coal exporting business of
Philadelphia were freely made by
shipping men when it became known
that the British steamer Rio Blanc
had been chartered to load several
thousand tons of coal for Rio de Jan
GIRO. The vessel will arrive in Phil
adelphia about November 7. Other
large steamers engaged in the same
trade will follow her, it is said
A contract for supplying $4,000
tons Of coal to South American firms
has been awaited to a local exporting
concern, it is reported on good au-
|thority, and this will result in a per-
iod Of activity which will surpass any
which have occurred durin the past
year or two, it is expected. About
fifteen vessels will be. required to
carry the coal out Of that port, since
each Of the large tramp steamers
which will engage in the transfer can
carry about 5000 tons The last yes
sci to leave there with cargo Of
coal for South America was the Rio
|Ignessa, which sailed from Philadel-
phia in May. The establishment Of
a large coal exporting business TO
South America will bring thousands
Of dollars to that port. That Phila-
delphia companies can underbid ex-
contention Of shipping men, because
this by increasing the net profits of
ply Of those concerns.

State Board of
Pardon Frees
Gus Metag Today
Prisoner for Life Receives C0mmuta-
ton of Sentence Which Makes
Him Free Man Soon
HAS SERVED FIFTEEN YEARS
Sentence Shortened To Thirty; Fiji
teen Years Deducted For
Good Behavior &

Gus Metag, who was given a life
sentence for the murder of John
Kuehn's sixteen years ago was to-
day found eligible for immediate par
ole. The State Board of Pardons
committed his sentence to thirty years,
fifteen of which have already been
served. During this time Metag has
not had single discredit mark, and
the deduction allowable for good be-
havior makes him eligible for parole
Immediately.
Redwood County Resident
Gus. Metag was a resident of
Sheridan township, Redwood County
at the time he committed the crime
which was the result of continuous
irritation and quarreling between him
and Kuehn. During one of these
quarrels Metag, who was intoxicated
at the time he killed Kuehn, and was
given the life sentence.
Has Excellent Record
Mr.. Metag is man about fifty
five years of age, very well educated
and for the most of his term has
served as teacher or been in charge
of the prison hospital. His record
for good behavior has been an un-
usual one, and his gentleness and man.
illness have expiated the crime for
which he was condemned.
Senator Clague Helps
Senator Frank Clague, who was
County Attorney at the time of the
sentence, has been instrumental in
gaining the prisoners liberation. Mr..
Clague recently appeared before the.
Board of Pardons and pleaded Mr..
Metag's case. That the plea was
answered favorably was learned from
a telephone message from Secretary
Julius A. Schmahl after the Board
made its decision this afternoon.

F. R. LOBDELL PRESIDENT
Council Asks Club To Consider Re.
quest Made For Franchise For
Gas Plant

The annual meeting of the Red
wood Falls Commercial Club was held
in the club rooms last evening. The
yearly report of the Club was read
and approved and the following Of
ficers elected for the coming year:
Pres, Frank Lobdell, First Vice-Pres.
A. C. Doliff, Second Vice-Pres., w.
A. Brand, Sec, A. J. White, Financial
Sec. and Treas, H. M. Aune. The
membership of the Club was increased
by the acceptance of several new
members.
Two topics were brought before
the Club for discussion. The first of
these was the advisability of having
home coming week the first week in
June to celebrate Redwood Falls
fiftieth anniversary. The practicable
ty of bringing the University Chau-
tauqua here the same week was also
discussed. This course offers a week
of first class entertainment and re-
quires guarantee of only three hun
dred dollars from the city. 1t is prob
able that if the change can be made
without encroaching upon the rights
of the regular Chautauqua company
that this will be done.
The City Council put before the
Club for consideration the request
made some time ago that a franchise
be granted by the city of Redwood
Falls for gas plant to be installed
here. The matter will be further dis
cussed before decision is reached.

Good Reason for
Objections Says
J. P. Schumacher
Former Redwood Student Sees Why
Certain Employers Don't Want
High School Boys
SCHOOLS TO TRAIN MINDS
Students Should Not Be Expected To
Be Finished Specialists; Must
Learn Own Value

j. p Schumacher, formerly North
Redwood boy and student at the
Redwood Falls high school, and now
Superintendent of Schools at North
st. Paul, writes the following strong
reply to the school discussion started
by Mr. Hills radical statement re-
garding the worthlessness of the
school of today.
To the Editor of the Dispatch
Mr.. e. Reiff and Mr.. W. r. Cockey,
who had letters in the Mail Bag, are
both managers of manufacturing es-
adjustments. Both have indicated that
for their business they would rather
have boys from the grade schools of
Europe than high school graduates Of
America
| can readily see how these boys
from Europe might suit their purpose
better than would our high school
graduates. Our graduates are likely
to be less meek and docile. They are
less likely to be content with routine
duties and minimum wages. Instead
of doing their work automatically,
they will often want to know the rea-
son why. They may even venture to
make suggestions, and of course that
is nuisance. They are apt to be alert,
ambitious, inquisitive, imaginative and
impatient for results. or advance
ment. For these very reason they
will be looked upon with disfavor by
some employers. But notice, these
same qualities, which make them APP
pear less desirable to some employers,
are the very quality that hold out the
greatest promise of usefulness and ac-
complishment to the boys themselves.

REDWOOD BOYS BUY GARAGE
Hill Brothers of Redwood Falls the
New Owners of LambertOn
Building

Tuesday a deal was closed in which
Henry Gumto sold his garage building
and repair business to Percy and
Arthur Hill of Redwood Falls, who
are now in charge of the property
and business.
These two young men come to US
highly recommended as business men
and mechanics and it will be their
business to do all kinds of repair work
no matter in what condition an auto
may be brought to their shop. They
are experienced men in this work and
in conversation they remarked that
as soon as possible they intended to
build to the present building an addi-
ton extending to the alley, dig base
ment and install steam heat. They soon
will receive machinery from Minnea-
polls which will enable them to do
all kinds of repair work, and with a
late type of turning lathe they will
be able to meet the demands of their
trade, no matter what it is. They
will carry full line of accessories
and make speciality of repair work.
They both bear an excellent repu-
tation in our county seat town, both
as excellent young men and workmen
and we sincerely trust that they will
meet with deserved success.-Lam-
