dealers are in some cases paying ex-
traordinary prices for anthracite IN
the New York market. Sometimes the
buyers are members of the local re-
tail trade, but the bulk of the ore

taking care of their regular trade as
well as they can in view of the re-
stricted output and abnormal demand,
very few dealers are getting as much

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money In terms Of tho Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for s4.75%; the intrinsic par
ity Is t4S6% per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds arc at a dis
count or that dollars are at pre-
MUM, which is owing to the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
with which to settle accounts In this
country is greater than the demand In
this country for pounds with which to
settle accounts in England.

Courier Democrat., 1916-08-10
HERE ARE SOME FACTS

Here are some facts that it will be
lust as we'll for democrats to bear in
mind as the campaign of the present
wear continues to ginger up with the
approach of the election to be held in
November:
Minnesota elected a Democratic
governor in 1914, so also did the
states of Montana, Michigan, Nebras-
ka, New Jersey, New Mexico and
Wyoming. California the same year
elected democratic United States
senator, so also did Oregon, South
Dakota, Wisconsin and Nevada. In
Illinois the republicans elected a
United States senator, but his popular
vote was 800, 900 as against 373. 600
Cor his democratic opponent and 2O3,
900 tor the progressive candidate.
In addition to this there was d scat
tering vote of 40, 900. 1t is also
worth bearing in mind that the wo-
men of Illinois will cast their first
vote in the election of this fall.
The democratic party has not for
many years been SO united as it is in
the present campaign or with the
exception of 1912, have the republi-
cans found themselves to be so badly
disrupted. In 1912 Mr.. Taft carried
only the states of Vermont and Utah
and in each case by mere pluralities
and no majorities. Of the states
carried by Roosevelt he received a
majority in only one
