keokuk Merchants are Again Offering
Bargains in Merchandise for the
Local and Visiting
Shopper.
FINE CLASS OF GOODS
Standard Set in the First Dollar Day
Has Been Maintained by the
Merchants Of
keokuk.

| Keokuk merchants, always mindful
of the interest of their customers,
will put on another of those ever pop
| ular Dollar Day sales, Wednesday,
August, is.
1t does not matter what trade con-
ditions are, whether prices are high
or low, the retailers of Keokuk at
certain times during the year arrange
for Dollar Day sales that are unusual
IN their values and attractive from
the standpoint of merchandise.
OF such decided economy are these
events that shoppers from neighbor-
ing towns come to keokuk to trade
and not once during the several years
that the sales have been conducted
have the visitors been disappointed.
The genuineness of the sales have
brought to the merchants a fine repu-
tation. 1t is their determination to
hold up the character of the merchan-
disc offered that has been one of the
chief reasons for the success OF their
sales.
It is proposed to make this mid
summer Dollar Day sale one Of the
best that has been held. Merchants
participating are planning to put out
a line of Dollar Day articles that will
appeal to thrifty shoppers.
Visitors and Local People.
Shoppers not only from Keokuk.
but from Keokuk's trade territory
are assured by the merchants in the
sale this month that the usual high
class Of goods will be offered, and
the economy in buying at the Keokuk
merchants sale is unquestioned-
Shoppers are realizing the fact that
dollars normally have restricted
purchasing power as compared with
the prices a few years ago. However
the values received at these Keokuk
sales will be up to the standard first
set and since maintained by the mer-
chants participating and it is going
to be well worth the trip to Keokuk,
if you live out OF the city, and well
worth the trip down town to the
stores if you live in Keokuk.
Next Wednesday will be the date,
and as this is the first mid-week bar
balm sales day, it's success will be
watched with interest by buyers and
merchants alike.

EASIER TONE IS NOTED
IN THE STEEL MARKET
Intimation Of Lower Prices In
duces Caution by Consumers.
Review of Other Metals.

NEW YORK, August 21.-The steel
market, if anything, is in easier tone
than at any time this year. The ac-
emulation of material resulting from
car shortage has caused freer sup
ply. The first intimation of softening
prices brought with it a growing eau
tiousness by consumers, which, to-
gether with cancellations from auto
builders and foreign interests, tended
to bring lower quotations.

$50 Level for Pig Iron.
The $50 a ton level for pig iron
predicted by makers some time ago
is now a reality. While few ton
nages may have been placed at lower
prices. most producers now ask $50
for both foundry and basic, with
Bessemer slightly lower and MALE
able higher. Coke movements have
been active and conservative buying
has caused a one dollar recession in
the prices.

Weak sterling exchange is respon-
sible for the easy tin market. Buying
is slack but holders are not inclined
to make concessions.

BRITISH CALL FOR LARD
AND HAMS AIDS MARKET
Cattle Trade Not Much More Than
Normal, But Values
Steady.

CHICAGO, Union Stock Yards. Au-
gust Il (SpeciaD.-Revival of de-
mand for lard and hams on British
account helped the market for heavy
hogs during the present week. and
it also naturally lent encouragement
to the export situation.
While top hogs. which at the pres
ent time are the best lightweight
butchers. showed a decline from the
close of last week. the good heavy
lots were in fair demand throughout
the period, closing strong. There
was some unrest at the local yards
today owing to the reported failure
of the commission houses to recog-
niZe the union of cattle drivers and
handlers. and it is possible that the
two factions will have some difficulty
adjusting matters without a strike
Order Not Yet Accepted.
The order of the Secretary of Agri-
culture regarding the suspension OF
collection of increased charges by
commission men has not met with
approval at all the live stock markets
and it is not settled as to what will
be done.
Receipts were estimated at 1900
cattle, 1000 hogs, 1000 sheep and
300 calves.

No choice steers were in the pens
Top steers reached $3.50 this week
but the general market closed lower
for the period, some Of the medium
grades showing decline of so to Il
cents. Calves were down so cents
while the balance of the trade also
closed at a decline.
Hog Market Shows Strength.
Hogs opened slow, but values
showed some strength later, and the
general market was strong to a dime
higher. Top hogs sold at S15.75
against $3.50 the closing day last
week. Sellers were able to clear the
pens In good shape.
About all of the run was direct tt
