as a whole fair, industry at faster pace
and collections come easier. Old south

prices for cotton, lumber, rice and
wheat. Apparel trade buying leads,
but not all buying Is seasonal. Lum-
Der trade indexes show best buying
and strongest price situation for a
year past. Steel and iron prices stiff
fened. August building total third
largest in monthly records. Turn of
foreign trade in August. Food index
a shade higher. Prices as a whole
firmly held. Wheat exports heavy.
Failures numerous.

successful bidders for the road con-
struction and the Iowa Bridge Co. Of
for the bridges and viaducts. There
were a large number Of bidders and
competition was keen. A difference
of only $500 was noted between the
two lowest bidders on the road grading
project totaling $45, 900. Both com
panies receiving the contracts are re.
liable firms with splendid records of
successfully completed road projects
behind them.
The road selected by the commits.
sion as the state highway is the one
known as the north road to Volga. The
engineers decided that this road Tended
itself best to permanent construction.
The road east of Brookings follows the
Black and Yellow trail. The section
involved In this contract is the most
difficult piece of road construction in
the county on account of the extreme
low land between here and volga and
the t~reacherous movements of the
Sioux river. In order to insure the
~permanency of the work considerable
drainage work must be done and pro.
vision made to handle the flood waters
Of the Sioux river. These matters
have been worked out by the engineers
and the contractors will carry their
plans out.
