SWEDEN.

NJ Staining, minister without port
folio in the Danish cabinet, has ar
rived at Stockholm for a conference
with Swedish socialists concerning the
approaching meeting Of the socialist
international committee in Stockholm.
The peace propaganda appears to be
almost entirely supported by the &C.
Twist and other pro-German papers
and elements. The newspapers which
formerly headed the activist movement
for Sweden's entrance into the war on
Germany's side, are now eagerly grasp
ing at every peace rumor.
Representative of prominent Amer
lean wood pulp importers have asked
the Swedish government to change it's
regulations for the export of pulp. The
petitions say business is made prac-
tically impossible The regulations
are the result of the Swedish govern
ment's discovery that wood pulp bought
i'm Sweden for America had been re-
exported to England. Buyers must
now furnish their banks guaranty
against re-eXpOrI anu penalty,
amounting to the normal value Of the
pulp is provided.
First-class coaches are no longer car

were profitable from a financial stand
point, their abolition makes possible a
reduction of the number Of cars drawn
by each locomotive and helps husband
Sweden's dwindling stock of coal.

NORWAY.

Mr.. K. Sandve of Time told the fol-
lowing to a representative of the
Stavangeren: II was seated in a rail-
way car on my way to Stavanger. At
Klepp station several new passengers
entered the car, and among them was
a NorWegian-American. The men were
talking Of buying farms, and the con-
versation was animated. I felt a no.
ton to join the talk, and finally Of
fered the Norwegian-American a farm
at Hadland Hogne, for $4,000. The
Norwegian-American became very
much interested in the property offered
to him, and so I suggested that he
ought to buy it off-hand. The next day
it might be too late. AS the train rolled
into the Stavanger station the Norwe-
gian-American reached out his hand
and said: We'll, I'll take that farm
accepted the offer. Next we went to
bank, where received 500 in earnest
money. Afterwards he looked over the
property, and was well pleased with
the deal.'
A Reuter- dispatch from Christiania
says an inquiry into the sinking Of the
Norwegian steamer, The Star, has re-
vealed that the attacking submarine
fired on the lifeboats as they were
being lowered. Afterward the Ger
mans looted the steamer. The dis
patch also says that the captain Of the
NorV1ouiop ctooroor pJo,,o1,oo~ ro~o~4.
that submarine fired on his boats as
they were being lowered, killing four
sailors. He adds that the attackers
looted the cabins.

Of thirsty souls went to the neighbour

literally that the authorities stopped
the sale in that town, too. Langesund
was still wet. But the people there
were so sacred that they clapped on
the lid. Thus it happened that Skien
and the surrounding country were wet
for several days in succession.

hts to be derived by the citizens
OF the state from the cooperation
with the federal government in
the loan banks, Ex-G Governor JOS
eph M. Carey declares that in his
opinion one of the greatest goods
resulting will be the spirit of help
fuIness that will develop in the
local associations, in advising and
working with each other to uphold
the credit of the mutual organiza-
ton.
That the plan evolved by con-
gress to finance the farmers of the
country is regarded as perfectly
sound is evidenced by the fact
that an eastern syndicate, after
carefully investigating the con-
dltions upon which loans are to be
made, has offered to take so per
cent of the stock issued and paw
the banks Al per cent for the priv
ilege.
Each of the twelve district banks
authorized by the act will open
their doors with a capital stock of
$4,000 at their command, most
of which is furnished by the federal
government. The authorized CAPT.
tai of each bank is 81 600, 900. As
securities are received bond issues
will be put out in small denomi-
nations SO the small investor may
secure such amounts as he is cap
able of handling.
Within the next couple of weeks
appraisers, upon whose report will
depend the action of the bank
officials in granting or refusing
loans, will be appointed. The law
provides that at least one appraiser
shall be appointed for each state.

that the Adamson law, concerning

Wyoming applicants should be

while the rate has not yet been
definitely determined, it can in no
case xceed 6 per cent and it NAV
be as low as 5 per cent. The loans
are made on long time, forty a
if desired being given in which to
make repayment to the bank. In
case it is desired by the farmer to
whom the loan is made, the entire
amount may be repaid after a per-
iod of five years. The amount of
the loan is limited to so per cent
of the value of the land and 20 per
cent of the worth of the improve

TRADING IRREGULAR
 ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed at Net Decline of 10 to 20
 Points

New York, August 29.-The cotton
 market was nervous and irregular to-
 day with December selling between 22.o5c and 22.5sc, closing at 22.20c. The general list closed barely steady at a net decline of 10 to 20 points. There
 was continued covering for over the government report Friday and the ap- preaching holiday. but the demand of that sort was active after a rally Of over a cent pound from recent low levels, and the market was easier Iafe in the afternoon under renewed ltaul- dation.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 10 to 20 points and sold 20 to 30 points net lower during the first few minutes on reports of rains in Tex as and a favorable review of crop con- ditions In Oklahoma. There was good deal of covering on a scale down, and as soon as the early offering had been absorbed the market firmed up on the western belt forecast for generally fair weather in Texas, reports that the rains shown there today had been In the least needy sections, and unfavor- able features in the weekly report or the weather bureau. Covering was also stimulated during the early afternoon by a private crop report making the condition 694 against TAI last month with October selling up from 2z'ooc the early low point, to 22.55c, while January advanced from 22.04c to 22.57c This made an advance of about 2l to 25 points from last nights closing on the more active positions. Demand then tapered and the market broke sharply in the late trading with last prices showing reactions of 30 to 40 points from the best. Detailed weather reports showed rains pretty well dis tributed over Texas but the precipi- tation was in amounts of less than an inch at most places.

Sheppard & Gluck's Letter

(Received over w. E. Campbens pri- yate wire)
 New Orleans, August 2s.-shorts covered again today in the cotton market, putting prices up on them selves. The buying started after the weekly weather reports which, while favorable enough for this time of the year, were not at all in accord with the rosy prospects, which many bear traders thought the government ought to outline in the returns from the belt Over a large part of the belt the crop Is doing well. but 1t should be remembered that deterioration IS natural at this time of the year.
 In the early trading the market fell off 25 to 28 points under selling based on rains In Texas which cov- cred fairly well all but the more south ern counties of the state. Reports dur ing the day told of more rain falling. The tone steadied after the weekly reports were out and prices gradual ly worked up to net advance which finally amounted to 16 to 25 points
 Spot accounts from Texas are de- cidedly better and the basis appears to be rising once more. Tn the east ern belt better demand Is reported from southern mills. Should this keep on. the effect on contracts Is bound to be marked.
 Tomorrow is the last session prior to bureau day and following the bu- reau report comes three holidays Un der these circumstances 1t would not be remarkable to see the covering movement among shorts last until the end of the week.
