The above rates express the cost 81
foreign money in terms of the Amer
lean dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for s475 11-16; the intrinsic
parity is $4.S64s per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle
accounts in England.
If you calculate the cost Of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money-that
is, as if you we're buying dollars with
pounds, marks or francs-its value
yesterday and year ago would be
about as follows:

these extraordinary earnings to
contemplate spectators must needs
circulate extravagant rumors, as
that the British government was try
ing to contract for the entire output
Of the principal producers during
the next twelve months. The fact is
that speculation is at an impasse.
1t is idle to talk about the intrinsic
value of copper shares at this time,
because whatever you think must be
governed, first, by your opinion on
the length Of the war, and, secondly,
by your conjecture as to what will
happen afterward. A stock that
earns 300 per cent and sells at 1000
per cent is not thing either to buy
or sell for speculation. 1t is thing
to keep if you were lucky enough to
have had it in time, and otherwise
to regret. Speculation in the metal
itself would be the widest kind Of
adventure. Nobody knows how
much copper there is in the war re-
serves, nor how rapidly the war
consumes it. The takings of the bel
ligerents are no indication of the
tate of consumption. They may be
stocking it ahead. And as for the
worlds needs after the war, expert
opinion is fallible, because the cop
per expert has to begin with eco
nomic assumptions.

MERELY POLITICS


Sen. Harding and other leaders in
the Harry B., Miller campaign figure
the Lundin candidate will win:
"Hoyne made a big hit with union
men of Chicago in the street car
wage award. But by taking tbs
unions end Of it he got in bad with
thousands of employers who don't
like the union labor people.
"Cunnea is sure to divide the labor
vote with Hoyne. While Guinea is
cutting down Hoyne's vote, Miller
will be elected"
Since Big Bill stepped on his
own fingers by his raid on the states
attorneys policemen the betting
odds on Hoyne have jumped.
Gripping the chief law office of
the county is bound to hurt the
Thompson-Lundin candidate even
among the hide-bound Republicans.
Likewise Big Bills action in grab

dieting Hoyne's election hasn't
helped Harry B. Miller any.

commerce, a lifelong Republican, has
climbed into the Wilson bandwagon.
Gov. Dunno will close his cam /
paign in Cook county next week.
The Democrats are getting cocEly.
They predict they will sweep the
county, with Wilson and ,Hoyne as
the principle vote-getters.
A tip is going the rounds that the
Thompson-Lundin machine intends
trading all other Republican candi-
, dates in an effort to save Harry B.
Miller. The figure that Hoyne must
be defeated at any cost.

COMMUNITY BREEDING.

The interest in good livestock among Arkansas farmers is about the most striking thing in the state just now. Since the first of January purebred bulls have been brought into at least twenty Arkansas counties. A fortul- ate feature, too, is that it each county enc breed has been agreed upon by the majority of farmers purchasing In one county the preference has been for the Shorthorn, in another for the Angus and in another for the Here ford. This should be the case even more rigidly in small neighborhood. The practice should be the same with hogs. Let one neighborhood be known as Shorthorn, another as Hereford neighborhood; one neighborhood as a Poland-China or a Duroc or Berk- shire neighborhood. It will be an aid in the exchange of breeding stock and great aid in marketing. Let Arkan- sas Progressives stand for "Commun- ity breeding"
