DRY GOODS PRICES STILL RISING

Primary dry goods quotations are very firm, and the rise in cotton has caused further advances in many lines of brown and gray goods, while the strong wool markets are also fore Ing additional ineerases in many fin lshed lines. Yarns are unprecedent- ediy high and mills have all the busi- ness they can take care for this year. Buying on contracts for 1917 is be- icomine more general in cotton goods lines and there has been an active de- lmand for cotton goods for export.
 Producing costs are becoming so lhigh and many goods are so hard to Iret for prompt delivery that buyers of merchandise are less apt to Quibble about values than formerly, the chief anxiety being to secure shipment of lroods due or needed for filling back orders The mills are not making much headway against the scarcity or labor and many attempts to run mills !overtine have had to be given up be- cause of the inability to secure opera tivee.
 Consumption Is going along un- checked thus far by the higher prices retailers are being compelled to exact lIOr many StdnOarO hneS- AHo P" tchasans power of various communi- ties appears to ,be abnormally good and the movement of merchandise is much more active than is expected at this period of the retail year. This seems to be strikingly true of the ssznalier communities.
 Foreign trade in dry goods is ham pered in many ways, but chiefly by the inability of mills to accept addi- tional business and by the many te- dious delays in arranging shipments Prices here are SO attractive that im- porters arc able to secure contracts for future delivery despite the very high producing costs that prevail in many foreign manufacturing centers. While imports are heavy, they are stin considerably offset by the unusu- ally large exports.-Dun's.

STOCK MARKET

New York, Sept. 2-Opening-Ir- regular price changes registered at the outset of today's session apparent ly reflected the conflicting views held by speculative interests respecting the importance of pending railway labor legislation. Recent favorites, notably Marines, Inspiration Copper, U. S.. Steel and Reading, opened at gains of substantial fractions to a full point with like advances in some of the more conspicuous specialties. These were counter-balanced by further moderate pressure upon motors, Ten nessee Copper and some of the war descriptions. Initial quotations were generally shaded later, Marine pfd. being the most noteworthy excep- tion.
 Close-Covering of short contracts, a natural precaution in view of the approaching holidays, comprised the bulk of today's light dealings, the movement being heightened by the encouraging outlook of the railroad controversy. Marines were the chief feature with the preferred at a new high record. United States Steel re- gained much of yesterdays reversal and rails were higher.
 The closing was strong. Bonds steady.

for what All other machines on the
farm are designed to take away from
it in crops. No farmers equipment
is complete without this soil-building
machine, which makes worth while
the use of his crop-raising machines.
In buying spreader at the present
time the farmer should see that he
selects one with wide spread attach
ment. With such an attachment a
strip from to 10 feet wide can be
covered, extending well outside the
wheels on both sides. This has positive
advantages over the narrow spread
spreader. In the first place, the load
is thrown off twice as fast and the
same amount of ground is covered
with just half the driving distance,
and on the return it is not necessary
to drive so that the wheel tracks lap
in order that all ground may receive
an even spread. For practically the
same price today wide spread
spreader can be bought that will de-
liver more in service and includes
more in quality of construction. For
these reasons the wide spread machine
should be thoroughly investigated be-
fore a farmer invests his money in q

ASSOCIATION WILL MEET IN ST

SIXTH DAY OF JUNE.
Will Be The BEST MEETING
SPLENDID PROGRAM OF ESPE-
CIAL INTEREST TO OLD
TIMERS ARRANGED

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Old Settlers Association OF
Stearns and adjoining counties was
held recently, says the St. Cloud
Times, to consider arrangements fol-
the coming meeting to be held. in ST.
Cloud Tuesday, June 9Th, next. There
were present: John Coates, w. B.
Mitchell, c. D. Grinols and C. F. Mac
donald.
A communication from Maj. Ed
win Clark, of Minneapolis, was read
in which he accepted an invitation to
be present at the coming meeting and
to read a paper giving "reminiscences
of early pioneer days and his pioneer
experiences. He suggested that he
would invite a number of pioneer set
tiers, now resident in Minneapolis,
among them, Caleb B. Dorr, Moses P.
Hayes, George A. Bracket, J. B. Gil
fillan, Fred L. Smith, Frank G..
O'Brien and Levi Longfellow. Maj.
Clark suggested that the occasion be
extended over the second day and that
Sank Rapids and other surrounding
towns be invited to participate in ex-
tending the glad hand to these old
pioneers. The commission was very
much gratifed at the information of
the probable attendance of these dis
tinguished old settlers and resolved to
make the coming annual meeting one
of the most notable in the history of
the Old Settlers Association. With
this in view it was decided to make
special efforts to induce the attend
ance of all the old settlers in st. Cloud,
Sank Rapids, Foley, Melrose, Sank
Centre and other localities.
Special efforts viii be made to in
crease the membership and to induce
all eligible to join the association.
Any person living in Stearns or ad-
joining counties in August, 1862, no
matter what the age, is eligible to
membership and can become so by
paying $1.O0, they receiving badge
and being entitled to a ticket to an
elaborate banquet. The fact that SO
many early pioneers and prominent
citizens of Minneapolis are to be pres
ent should induce every old settler
within the jurisdiction of the associa-
ton to make special and extraordin-
airy efforts to to attend.
