Refused Payment by Treasurer.
The present owner presented the

said:

The owner thinks he can compel
payment by the city treasurer, as
the bill is perfectly good note by
the city of Keokuk. But he hesitates
to start anything in that line, be-
cause he is not sure that he would
not rather have that money issued

Why Not In the Library?
One suggestion is that the public
library trustees buy it for So, or get
the owner to present 1t to them, and
then have 1t framed under alright
glass and hang 1t among the many
valuable historical articles In the
Keokuk library.
The owner of this So bill Of Keo-

The city of Keokuk once ISSUED
money.
1t was back in 1857, when Keokuk
was as proud as New York ever was
with pride that preceded a fall on
Black Friday in that year.
1t was six weeks before that Black
Friday. famous in the history OF
American finance, that the city OF
Keokuk issued a note in the form OF
a three-dcllar bill. There are no
threedollar denominations now.
This one was engraved as well as
any modern dollar bill by Wright &,

Textiles
Cotton Yarn for Making
Automobile Tires in
Demand $50 Other
Kinds Quiet

Business in cotton goods was virtu-
ally at a standstill yesterday, the rain
and the observance of the Saturday
half holiday keeping buyers out of the
market. Some good sales of print
cloths were made during the week on
the basis Of ~ cents yard for 38 u
inch wide goods containing 5.35 yards
to the pound, and woven Cd threads to
each inch of warp and 60 thrpds to
an inch Of filling. At the week end
the mills withdrew the quotation of
81 cents, and thereupon trading lapsed
back to its former dull state.
Most mill agents feel that business
will continue relatively quiet until
about March l, though it is expected
that low prices will attract small lot
buying from time to time. More mills
are curtailing production, the move
ment having gathered force since the
first of the month.
Ordinary cotton yarns as distin-
guished from yarn used in automobile
tires are very dull, and as competi-
ton for business is extremely keen
prices continue to move downward. On
the other hand mills that are equipped
to manufacture yarns for automobile
tires are reported to have taken good
sized orders.
Automobile tires demand an espe-
cially high grade of yarn, the product
being derived from Sea Island cotton,
long staple cotton.
