watchful Waiting in Market.

The stock market. though exhibiting
unusual strength in its leaders and
favorites. has failed to measure up to
the standards that were thought to be
easily within reach a few months ago.
The war stocks have displayed con-
siderable activity, though in most quar-
ters it is felt that many of them have
already gone beyond the safety zone,
and that 1t would not be unnatural for
them to suffer violent reaction. Then,
again, professional market. such
as at present. where the public interest
is largely conspicuous by its absence,
cannot be Judged by the same principle
as that which governs a buoyant mar
ket in which the investing public are
artive participants. The tendency of
the stock market has therefore been
that of watchful waiting, professional
operators being inclined to suspend
their manipulations in view of the i'm
portant world influences that so COM
pletely dominate the speculative situa-
tion.

National Banks Can Sell Two PEI

National banks which would sell
their per cent government bonds in
the way provided by the federal reserve
act will not have an opportunity to do
SO until after March 81. 1916. according
to announcement by the federal reserve

Applications for the sale Of such

treasurer of the United States at will.
The board has received letters from
several banks, indicating a desire to
dispose Of their bonds, which involves
retiring national bank notes. which
probably will be replaced when need
ed, by federal reserve notes.

Purely a Business Matter.

4 glance at the records OF our Tor
eign trade in recent months will throw
some light on this important subject.
Notwithstanding that since January
there has been a tremendous lnhux OF
gold and securities from Europe, we
have exported such an enormous guam
tity Of American goods that the trade
balance in our favor has risen to an
unwieldy figure. The excess OF exports
over imports June 80 Of this year was
we'll over one billion dollars. and at
present rate it is estimated that at the
end of the calendar year our exports
would exceed our imports by over two
billions of dollars. Contrary to current
belief. this trade is represented only
to a small extent by the sale of mum:
lions of war. According to the official
records of the Department of Com
merce the total export of firearms and
explosives during the year ending June
80 was less than fifty million dollars,
or per cent of the total.
Breadstuffs, on the other hand,
amounted to nearly six hundred mill
lions. or 60 per cent, and meats and
animals seyenty-seven millions. or "
per cent. 1t will easily be seen that a
lion dollars will Of itself be Inadequate
to the task of providing a permanent
adjustment of our trade and exchange
situation; and that, however, unwilling
Europe may Dc u c4pOIt anu AHcTlC1
to receive further shipments Of gold,
this method of payment must still be
made use of to a large extent If trade
between Europe and America is to con-
tinue. The only alternative would be
a discontinuance of these trade rela-
tionships, which would be as disastrous
to American producers as it would be
to European consumers. Thus it Is
emphatically pointed out in the ffnan-
cial district that while it is Great Brit
ain and France which are seeking to
borrow, it is the United States which
will receive the benefits to be made
out of the money (credit) loaned. The
transaction is not and does not repre-
sent sentiment on one side or the other,
but must be cosidered strictly as a
business enterprise fully justified by
the circumstances and essential from
every standpoint 1t cannot be con-
sidered as war loan," for by the
terms of the contract none of the cred
its are to be applied to the purchase Of
war munitions as such.

business is distributed quite evenly
among the stock exchange houses as a
whole. and is responsible for degree
of quiet prosperity in the financial dis
trict that has not been apparent for
years.
The stocks of important motor COM
panies have been the leaders in the up
ward movement during the past week.
The impression has been gaining
ground that Europe's demand for motor
vehicles will be very greatly increased,
and that an enormous quantity of
American automobiles will be neces-
sary to fill these requirements.

Discovers c.u., Of cravitation.

Montgomery, Ala.-Prof. Thomas
jefferson Jackson, astronomer and
United states naval observer at Mare
Island, Cal, announced here that he
had discovered the cause Of gravita-
ton.
"Gravitation is an electrical pheno-
menon," said Professor Jackson.
TT does not instantly act across
space but is transmitted with velocity
equal to that Of light thus coming
from the sun to the earth in eight
minutes" A treatise on this discov-
cry prepared by Mr.. Jackson was sub
mHted to the Royal Society at Lon
don FIVE months ago. The first an
nouncement Of his discovery was made
to the Royal Society. Mr.. Jackson
said, because It was to this society MI.
Jacksor's treatise intends to prove
that gravitation IL due to elementary
electrical currents circulating around
atoms Of matter. Heretofore gravita-
ton has been isolated from all othsi
forces Of the universe. efforts Of scien-
fists to connect Il with electricity hev-
ing failed. Should Mr.. Jackson's the.
DRY prove true the whole science o.
physics will revolutionize.

the public may be tricked into elect

the majority sentiment on this most
vital question in the state. Noml-

question or pandered to the saloon
element.

cowardice that seeks 10 dodge import

An incident showing the -apacity Of
some people came to our attention this
week We don't like TO hear things Of
this kind and we regret that a sense
OF justice compels us TO make mention
of il al all. Four young ladies, en-
route from Chicago TO Des Moines by
auto over the Lincoln Highway met
with treatment that should not be
counleLanced.
When about five miles noTtaeas. OF
this city they were overtaken by a
heavy rain storm. None Of the young
ladies was experienced drivers over
muddy roads and they became nervous.
stop was made at farm house
where it was learned that the family
were coming TO town and that the
max OF the house was an experienced
auto driver It was agreed that the
mat, wouid drive the car to town and
the young ladies would come TO the
city with the woman in the surry.
The trip was made safely. When the
young ladies came to settle, the wom-
an asked them $3.50 for bringing them
TO town and the man was more liberal
and only asked SO for drivia~ the car
in. This only made the total Dill se.oo
for six-Ynile service.
Landlord Herring was indignant
when told Of the circumstances and
after blessing the man out, the latter
refunded $3.50 hanging his head in
shame at the calling ne got.
Now the facts in the matter are tnat
a reasonable charge for the service
would not be over 81, according TO
two garage men of this city. Hold
ups of the nature Of the one related
here will only bring the Lincoln High
way into bad repute and we hope that

mention OF a similar holdup.
