Corn For Mahaska Farmers.
The Silver Mine" seed corn bought
from j. e. Springer, of Taintor, Iowa,
by the Mahaska Farm Bureau, has
been taken over by the County Board
of Supervisors and will be sold by
them to Mahaska farmers for seed
purposes. The corn is at the County
Home and you can get it by seeing
Bill Broerman, superintendent of
the County Home). This seed will
be sold to those parties who come
first for it. No orders for seed will
be held unless money is sent to cover
the amount of the order. About
one-third of the corn has been sort
ed and the nubbins thrown out. The
remainder is just crib run corn. The
seed has not been single ear tested,
but a general test was made by test
ing three kernels from each of 100
ears and this terminated 96 percent.
The seed will be sold in the ear so
that each man will have chance to
single ear test it. The price ron the
two lots of seed will be as follows !:
Crib run seed .................. so per bu.
Sorted seed ........................S7.0 per Blu.
A number of parties have already
spoken for this seed, so il you want
any of the corn you should act
promptly. 137d1w1

Over Campbell & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, September 1S.-Price fix ing talk again dominated the cotton mar ket today and caused lower range of values, following a small advance on the bullish showing of the weekly crop re- ports from the government The out come of the conference in Washington yesterday between President Wilson and southern congressman was not consid- cred satisfactory. nothing definite result ing from it. Pessmistic rumors were afloat concerning the possibilities in the situation during a good part of the ses- sion and their effect was extremely bear ish.
 Around the opening prices were 22 to 2y points off. but this decline was recov- cred on expectations of bullish weekly report and on the tone of the reports when they came in, around which time the trading months went 4 to 22 points over yesterdays close. From this there was a gradual decline until late in the day prices were 82 to 96 points under yes- terday's finals.
 The weekly returns from the belt made hiehly favorable mention of picking con. ditions and the progress of picking and ginning, but concerning the development of the plant, had this to say:
 The general condition continues poor, especially in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Georgia"
 Under the circumstances now to be seen there is little value to be attached to opinions since the whole situation rests on the outcome of the present agitation to regulate the market
 The market closed at the lowest of the day, net loss of 99 to 106 points.-Shep- ard & Gluck.

RIMR|ENT ISSUES IRI.N)|NG UPWARD
War $ News Was Gratifying to All Traders and Some
 Issues Made Records

New York September B.-Reaetion
 from the recent heavy liquidation carried
 some prominent issues steadily upward n the stock market today, presumably
 bn the theory that a generally oversold condition existed. The pressure which
 enforced the downward movement or
 many of the speculative issues during the
 past week was conspicuous by it's ab-
 sence, and professional buying in various
 quarters, together with liberal short cov-
 sring,- furnished a foundation which had
 not been. in. evidence for sometime. An other influential factor was the gratify- Ing. war news. Many of the stocks ad- Fanced l to points, some reaching new high ground. S.
 | These losses were quickly recovered, hctive purchasing of oil stocks which
 have been consistently strong of late, irn- buing the general list with strength which tvas largely maintained until the close. lrhe buying throughout was of diversi- Fled character, railroads displaying a sood tone with pronounced advances in long list of specialties, comprising the pills, shippings, coppers, tobaccoS, fertili- kers, distillery shares and minor steels. Toward the close there was some profit taking in United States Steel, Bethlehem Steel and Baldwin Locomotive. but the general undertone of strength was unirn- paired.
 French government 61ss established }lew high record at 100N. Liberty Bonds displayed a good tone and other issues iwere not essentially changed. Total bales, par value, were s6,7O0,ooo. United States bonds, old issues, unchanged on Etall.
