Commercial and general business con-
ditions in the United States, notwith-
standing dullness in the stock markets.
are said by the trade reviews to have
shown material Improvement during
the past week. While the East, having
its view fixed primarily across the At
lantic continues to pursue u waiting
policy, persons who have Travelled re-
Gently through the West, particularly
west of the Mississippi, are predicting
the Inauguration in the near future or
a purely American boom.
The great wheat crop, having COM
manded exceptionally high prices, has
put more money into the pockets OF
the farmers in the wheat belt than they
ever before possessed, and with the
trend, the people living in the sections
of the country that reap immediate
benefit from the grain crops are very
optimistic.
That the American public. though
tho stock market would not indicate
the fact in its present dull state. is
willing and ready to invest IN h:gn
grade securities, was evidenced dur
ing the week by the prompt taking in
the New York market OF the new loans
put forth there. The New York state
loan of S27,O00,00O worth of Ia per
cent bonds brought l0S.i59: a decidedly
better price than had been expected,
and Welding 4.3 per cent.
The Swiss loan of $l5,000,00O per
cent dcbentures was as promptly taken
on a basis yielding 3-S per cent. a
showing which Is expected to attract
many other foreign offerings
Several other countries have procured
funds I'm one form or another in the
New York market, which is now the
only free money market of Importance
in the world, and the bankers who ad-
vocate encouraging the granting of for
eign credits contend that by making
foreign loans they are advancing the
time when America will become a
leading actor in International finance.
Probably the most depressing sttua-
ton in the United States is the con-
tinued poor showing being made by the
railroads. The Western Pacific recently
defaulted OH the interest payment on
its bonds, and only two days ago the
Southern Railway Company announced
the passing of it's dividend.
In explaining the latter road S action
President Fairfax Harrison said the
company had not earned during the
past few months the income necessary
to make the dividend payment, and
would not do so In the approaching
months. consequently the dividend pay
mCnt was passed.
Railroad men. however, have found
much satisfaction in the decision OF
the United States Supreme Court which
has held the West Virginia 2-cent fare
law unconstitutional, as applied to the

to that position by the school board,
last Friday evening, by a vote of two
to one, the ayes, Messrs. Buck and
Halvorson; the no., Miss Walker.
There will be but two signatures upon
the contract, Miss Walker Directing
on the ground that a large percentage
of the women who take an interest in
school matters, prefer a change in the
principal Of the school, and the wishes
of the women, especially of the moth
ers, should be respected in such mat
tiers. The meeting vas made disagree

entry Of outsiders, the business of the

About the County
WHITE

From the Leader:
A mar by the name of Jones living
in Luverne, Mimi, has received a
patent on a pillow clevis that promises
to revolutionize blowing. The clevis
may be attached to any plow beam,
sulky or gang. In a word, its purpose
is to do away with the usual clevis
by which the evener is lowered or
raised in order to make the plow run
shallow or deep. BY the use of Mr..
Jones' device the change Is made by
simply turning a pin in the crew
head, and the minutest change can be
accomplished in this way, as the oper-
alton comes through a very accurately
set screw.

Sure, our little city should be sup
piled with an electric light system, for
its the most economic, most satisfac-
tory and far the cheapest. The city
council in calling for an expression
of the voters on this wise, in our
coming city election, has acted wisely
and well. We hope u voters are
wholesouled enough to carry the prop
osition through, and give the council
the authority to proceed in the matter
and arrange for an electric system.
The proposition at this time is not
binding. The council simply asks for
an expression, and if voters enough
are for the proposition, then the coun-
Gil will have to call a special election
on the question.
