MEXICAN STOCKS
TAKE Squirt IN PARIS
Carranza's Recognition Sends
Prices Up on Bourse.

Paris. Oct. 24.-The Bourse was dull
last week, with the exception of Mexi-
can stocks, which spurted brightly on
Americas recognition of Carranza, and
rrices were maintained despite profit
taking. The feature Of the market is
its extreme constituencies 10 war news.
Thus. Russian bonds have been active
in the last three days. owing TO Rus
,ian victories. 1t is felt that all dull
ness on the Bourse may be promptly
dispelled by any favorable development
n the theatres of war.
The doubtful Balkan outlook will
probably delay the issue of the forth
coming French loan, which. il is stated,
will be offered on preferential terms
Of exchange to holders Of rentes. The
latter are consequently firm.
The New York exchange IS advancing
teadily, despite the Allies loan in
america. which, il is now realized, will
only cover a small proportion Of the
war munitions ordered in America. The
success Of the loan has caused the cir

FALL RIVER COTTON
CLOTH PRICES FIRM
Purchasing Slight on Buyers
Failure to Get Rates Cur
rent on Southern Mills.

Fall River, Oct. 24.-The market
here for cotton cloth was rather quiet
last week, but prices were well main
tanned. Buyers and manufacturers
were Indifferent as 10 trading, and this
condition helped TO make things quiet.
Buyers felt the market out for soft
spots and expected concessions. When
these were refused they did not pur-
chase 20 any extent. On the other
hand, manufacturers were against re-
ducing prices and were only interested
in transactions which meant instant
trading az prevailing prices
u IS reported that Southern mills
sold at as much as an eighth of a cent
a yard below Northern mills. when
this became generally known in the
New York and other markets buyers
tried 20 get the same prices in the New
England markets, but without success.
Cotton still remains high and manu-
facturers hold that top prices for goods
have been none too good for margin

ductlon Of the mills in Fall River IS
pretty well taken care Of TIL the end OF
the year. There is small possibility
that there Will be any accumulation Of
goods az the close of the current year.
Conditions Of the cloth market, from
The standpoint Of manufacturers, are
considered strong. Trade for the fine
goods mills continues TO improve.
There is more inquiry for goods, and
the inquiry extends TO contracts 10
run into and through next spring.
As regards profits, IL may be said
that the margin Is good. The total
sales FOR the week OF goods Of print

Pessimism of Press Not

PUBLIC FAVORS
THE WAR LOAN
Renewed Weakness of American
Exchange Cause of Grave
Concern TO Bankers.
BY FRANCIS W. HIRST.

Especial Cable 70 TIE Trfbuns
London, Oct. 24.-Rumors and re
ports on your side about new am
bargoes and export duties probably
originate in the general uncertainty
and doubts concerning the stability
Of the present Cabinet. It is certain
that there is an atmosphere Of pes
simism regarding the military situa-
tion, but this atmosphere is not in
the least justified by the course Of
events. Thus, during the last two
months the Russian armies have
done far better than in August
seemed likely.
The recent cheerfulness Of the
stock market, too, indicates that the
pessimism of the press Is not in
dorsed by the people. The war loan
has been especially popular. The real
danger is not military, but financial,
and finance will henceforth require

much greater consideration than II
has had hitherto from the govern
ment.
The renewed weakness Of Ameri-
can exchange is causing grave con-
corn. and Lombard Street is asking
how the loan is being employed.
Touching a question recently asked
regarding dollar bills, naturally they
are not much liked here, but they
have gained a footing since the war
Sterling bills are, Of course pre-
ferred.
Usually a fall in exchange brings
out plenty of American securities
for sale. but Thursdays sharp drop
failed to do so, and this department
remained quite inactive. No trust
worthy estimates Of these sales are
available. but banks here have un-
doubtedly been purchasing Ameri-
can securities Of all kinds for ship
ment to your side.
There is much controversy IN
banking circles as to the wisdom OF
the official policy Of screwing up the
money and discount rates here, but
the object certainly Is TO attract
money from your side.
The drain of men from business
and manufacture into the army IS
beginning to be felt. ] think finan'
c;al considerations will soon affect
public policy. Next week will, OF
course. be a critical one at Westmin
ster. but Sir Edward Carson's action
has shown that resignation is not
fashionable. Moreover, politicians
always remember how Lord Ran
dolph Churchill more than a quarter
Of q century ago resigned the Chan
cellorship Of the Exchequer, forget
ting there was George Joachim
Goschen to succeed him.

OREGON is THE BEST STATE.
Iowa Editor Confesses This State Has
1t On California.

Editor A. w. Mcbride of the Paul
inc Uowa) Times, formerly owned
and published by Mr.. Frank Bethel,
now with The Observer, while in
Portland last week on tour of the
Pacific coast, wrote an entertaining
story of this trip. In his letter he
says:
II am bound to confess, even at the
risk of losing some California sub
scribers that l found nothing in that
state as nice in the way of good look
ing country as is to be found here in
Oregon. That probably will tickle
Oscar Hamstreet of Sheridan and
Frank Bethel of Dallas. but l can't
be accused of trying to tickle their
vanity because they both receive COM
plimentary subscriptions anyway. But
it is true. 1 was raised on black dirt
and 1 like the looks of it. l never
could get used to that California sand,
the most of which has to be drenched
with water continually or it will re-
vert to its natural desert state. Up
in these Oregon valleys things will
grow without irrigation for the nat
ural rainfall is sufficient. The places
that are uncultivated are at least
green with grass and flowers. Such
spots in California would be barren
wastes"

JERSEY CLUB HAS PICNIC.
GOVERNOR WITHYCOMBE AD-
DRESSES POLK BREEDERS.
Herds of Messrs. Morrow and Near
thur Are Viewed by Gathering.
A BOuntiful Dinner.

The beautiful grove adjoining the
home of W. o. Morrow, the well
known Jersey breeder, who resides
near Rickreall, was recently the
scene of a happy gathering, when
members of the Polk County Jersey
Cattle club, and number of other
Jersey breeders from different parts
of the state, partook of Mr.. Morrow's
hospitality and enjoyed the picnic, ov-
er which he presided as host A
representative of Rural Spirit was
present, and gives the following ac-
count of the picnic:
after a bountiful lunch served by
Mrs. Morrow and her sister, the guests
listened to brief addresses by Gov
ernor Withycombe, Congressman Nc
Arthur, j. NJ. Dickson, Harry West
R. L. Burkhart, C. P. Hembree, H. II.
Samuels, and other Jersey breeders
after which an inspection of the Nor
row herd was made. Despite the fact
that Mr.. Morrow sold a number of
choice animals at the recent Polk
county consignment sale, his herd re-
mains as one of the best in the state,
as is evidenced by the splendid in
dividuals that were shown to the Wis
itors. Mr. Morrow is veteran breed
er and has developed a uniform herd
and some of his young hefers that
are coming on, are most promising.
His herd still contains number of
the older cows that have proved
worth at the pail, among them being
Little Darkey," "Morrow's Select"
and "Cicero's Dorothy" The last nam
ed COW is just in her prime, and is
a grand individual. Those who have
watched her work on her present reg
lister of merit test are confident that
she will produce 900 pounds of es-
timated butter at the completion of
the test.
"Mr Morrow also showed the visit
ors his new bull, Golden Cicero,"-
a recent acquisition to his herd. A
number of best cows in the Morrow
herd were sired by this bull, and pur-
chased from Harry West and other
breeders, and Mr.. Morrow was so ia
vorably impressed with the bulls Off
spring that he decided to buy him. A
glance over Mr.. Morrow's farm show
ed abundant crops of hay, grain and
kale-an assurance of plenty of good
feed for next winter.
AFTER viewing Mr.. MorroW's herd
and expressing satisfaction at it's ap-
pearance, the visitors journeyed to
the neighboring farm of Congressman
Macarthur, where they We're shown a
herd that promises to give a good ac-
count of itself. Mr.. Macarthur is one
of the young breeders of the state, but
has been very careful of the selection
of his breeding stock, and has a
foundation for high producing herd.
He has fifteen cows on test for reg
lister of merit at the present time, and
will place others on test as soon as
they freshen. Mr.. Macarthur is en-
thusiastic over his crop prospects,
particularly the fine field of corn
which will furnish abundant silage
for the coming winter. After viewing
the Macarthur herd, the guests de-
parted for their various homes feel
ing that they had enjoyed a pleasant
and profitable day."

confirmed, and that Ordinance 23 be
declared the full and complete meas
ure of the rights and liabilities of the
city and the said H. V. Gates in and
to the said water plant, and that the
said city shall and it hereby does ad-
here to the terms and provisions of
said Ordinance No. 23, and the whole
thereof.
Following the reading of the reso-
luton City Attorney Coad told the
council that it was up to it to decide
upon the document presented by the
mayor, at the same time telling the
aldermen that it was not to the inter-
est of the city. He held that Gates
is the owner of the plant during the
life of his contract with the city, and
to that extent only. He said his an
swer was in accordance with the views
and action of the former administra-
ton. but if the city desired to act
otherwise and permit the matter to
go by default he would acquiese. Mr..
Tooze. representing the mayor, took
a different view of the matter,
stating that if the court held that
Gates is the owner of the plant the
city would have no further claim
against the property. The ownership
of the plant is what the commission
wishes to establish, and for which
purpose the suit is brought. If Gates
makes no attempt to show that he is
the lessee merely, and by so doing
gives the commission its way in the
matter, then, according to the view of
Mr.. kirkpatrick, the city would lose
the plant forever. The point he de-
sired to make and for which he asked
the council to stand was that the
city did not want to admit in court
that Dallas does not own the water
works system.
