PREVIOUS RECORDS
 ARE ALL SURPASSED
Commercial Agency States Manufactures Decline to
 Book Further Orders

New York, April 2S.-Dun's review tomorrow will say;
 The best previous records of produc- tion and distribution, of earnings and wages, are steadily surpassed. Even after great expansion, legitimate enter prise shows continued augmentation though various influences combine to hinder its growth Consumption re- quirements, however, are sustained m unprecedented volume and industrial facilities, while constantly improved and increased, are inadequate to han dle all the work there is to be done. A widening discrepancy between the contracts offered and those actually closed is noted in about every lead ing line, many manufacturers, either through inability or disinclination to further commitments, having turned considerable business away. That such facts appear. in spite of the pronounced rise in prices, is one of the most re- markable features of the times. Only in relatively few instances have the extremely high costs restricted new demands and premiums for prompt shipments are by no means uncommon. Weekly bank clearings, s3,931, ,216,726.

 New York, April 2S.-There was a lack of interest of the local market for raw sugar today and no further sales being reported, spot prices remained nominally unchanged at 5 7-16c for Cubas cost and freight, equal to 646c for centrifugal, and 5.69c for molasses. The undertone however was firmer and there seemed to be nothing available at the close under the record price of 51a cents for Cuba centrifugal for either spot orsenearby shipment. In refined trading was also quiet and it was said there was a good inquiry in the market from exporters for May and June shipment at 6.5oc f. o. b. New York; although refiners seemed pretty we'll sold up and were not inclined to accept any further business Prices were firm and unchanged at 740c to 750c for fine granulated.
 Trading in futures was less active and after g. firm start on covering prompted by the strength of the spot market prices gradually eased off under liauida ton, closing at a net loss of 3 to points July sold from 5.60c to 5.53c, closing 5.52c; September. o.63c to 5.e0c, closing 5.57c; De- cember, 5.14c to 5l1c, closing 5.09c.

SPRING RECITALS

Prof. E. j. Hop finer will give two
recitals this season. The first will
be held next Thursday, May 18th,
at the Congregational church. The
Window college orchestra, Of
Montevideo and the Metropolitan
orchestra Of Ortonvi!le, will be
present at this recital.
On Thursday. May Is. recital
will be given at the Methodist
church. This we believe is the tenth
year that Prof. Hopfner has given
these annual recitals, and he has
severa fine classes. The community
can consider itself fortunate in hav-
ing a musician of Prof. Hopfner' s
ability devoting his time to the
training of the musical talent of
the young people Of the city. A
lover Of the best in music himself
he inspires in his pupils a love for
the classical and the higher ideals
of music. There should be a large
attendance at these recitals, for
they will be attractive to all lovers
Of good music, and your presence
and patronage will thus be helping
to establish higher musical
standard for the community.

BUSINESS MEN WANT STATE
WIDE PROHIBITION

E. P. Nash, of the Narregang In
vestment Co. of Aberdeen, was in
town last Friday in the interest Of
state wide prohibition. There is a
general movement Of the business
men Of the state for an organized
effort to put South Dakota on the
dry list Of states and forever end
the annual agitation Of the prohibi-
tion question. The business men
Of the state are largely behind this
wide movement, as they believe
that the question has now gotten be
yond simply the agitator and the
preacher and has become a business
proposition. That there is a sub
stantial class of business men be
hind this dry movement is evidenc-
ed by the fact that the business
men Of Aberdeen raised over $40,
900 as a campaign fund to keer
their city dry and put a statewide
ban on the saloon business. The

PLAY BALL

We note with interest and plea
sure the plans for giving Milbank
a base ball team this season. A
good live team is an asset to any
city; it makes good advertising as
well as provides wholesome enter
tainment for our citizens. We
are decidedly in favor Of the
national game and hope Milbank
will have winning team and
that it will be so conducted that
all good people can unhesitatingly
give it their support.
However we could not give our
support and hope that the christian
peole of our city will not give
support to the enterprise if as in
former years the games are to be
played on the Lords day.
