New York, June S.-Sales for
July delivery were a feature of the
trading in cotton cloths here today
Prices continued firm throughout
the day but prices were moderate.
Some slight concessions in sheet
ings at second hands were report
ed, but they were not numerous.
Better business was reported in
sheets and pillow cases in the finer
constructions. There was some in
quiry for drills and osnabergs. Raw
silk continued quiet here in con-
formity with a similar condition in
many of the foreign primary mar
kets Broad silks were in somewhat
better demand.
WOOL.
Boston, June S.-There is a wide
difference of opinion expressed
here as to whether present prices
for raw wool are justified by world
demand and supply, but in the
meantime prices continue extreme
ly firm, although local trading to-
day was not heavy. Activity has
not slowed up in the growing dis
tricts. however Ohio woods are
coming into the warehouses in in
creasing quantities and the quality
is said to be remarkably high.
South Dakota woods are bringing
from 35 to 40 cents a pound in the
grease with the majority of grow
ers seemingly satisfied with those
prices. The Au3tralasian markets
are very strong with good lots of
the better grades being purchased
for American account.

Bond Market

Copyright. ls221

New York, June S.-The infiu-
ence of the further lowering of call
money rates today proved less OF
factor in the bond market than
might have been expected and 1t
was only in the United States gov
eminent group again that any DIS
tinct advance could be attributed
to it. Liberty bonds were prac-
ticallyN all above par and one or
two of them sold at their high mark
for the year. The announcement
of the treasury offering Of certifi-
Gates of indebtedness was somewhat
of a surprise to the financial com.
munity because of the amount OF
the new borrowings and the rate OF
interest. This issue for S250, 00O,-
900 and the notes bearing ~ per
cent rate, the same as for the two
last previous loans will run one
year. There is to be also an offer
ing OF an indeterminate amount OIL
treasury notes maturing In 3t2
years in exchange for Victory 3A
per cent notes only. These notes
bear As per cent interest and con-
version must be made before June
Is. Wall Street had looked for q
ga per cent rate on the next gov
eminent borrowing.
From the outset today there was
pronounced weakness in the Mex1-
can government securities. The

points, the five per cents about .

during the day they regained some

reactionary in sympathy with the
lower quotation for French francs
and United Kingdom 515's were in

were the feature of the industrial
section. They dropped about two

company's announcement of its
plans to retire those bonds on Sept
1 at 1927. However, because of the

TRADING SENTIMENT Mixed.

Professional operators have in
many instances been bearish on the
market position for some time
This pointed out today that despite
the upbiddtng of various special
ties, the general price average had
been coming down for five days in
succession. They dwelt upon the
failure to sustain a public follow
ing and drew the inference from the
slowing down of business that the
market was tired" Pool repre-
sentatives made the point that 1t
was easier to get individual stocks
up than to push them down, the
conclusion from which was that the
line of least resistance still lay on
the side Of the advancing prices.
AMERICAN SMELLING.
While American Smelling and
Refining earnings are showing an
Improvement over those of last
year the big jump in profits is not
expected before August, when the
full effect of the reopening of the
mines will begin to show. Coupled
with this will be a lowering in costs
due to the reduction in freight rates
on supplies. Tho porphyry mines
get into operation on April /, but
output UP to this time has been in
creasing at slow rate. 1t is ex-
pected. however, that from now on,
shipments of ores TO the smelters
will increase in volume rapidly,
CONSOLIDATED GAS.
The announcement that the Con-
solidated Gas will retire it's bonds
this year is looked upon as the first
step in the recapitalization plans
of the company. The company is
having released to it $4,000, 900 by
the recent supreme court order
from earnings impounded with the
local courts. These may be the
funds which will be used in the re-
tirement of the bonds. The rest of
the recapitalization plan. as Wall
Street gets it, is that the present
stock will be put on a $40 basis and
will be split on a two for one basis.
The new shares are expected to
pay SIS in dividends.

SUGAR MARKET
GOES UPt;CALL
MONEY IN DROP
BY STUART p. WEST.

: ValI Street, New York, June s.
Gill further reduction in money
r.tss. a general decline in the for
srn exchanges with particular
vsakness in French francs, and
,uite remarkable rise in the sugar
market were the three incidents
having the largest bearing upon
,bs financial situation today. The
ali money renewal got down to
az per cent, which was the lowest
n the year so far and the lowest in
sset in over four years. Along with
this time money quotations were
shaded and loans for the shorter
nsrfods were once more negotiated
:, uer cent The return Of the
money market to the minimum fig
ares of the season had its effect
mon the security market. Liberty
bonds pushed forward to their
high prices again, with the first.
third and fourth AIS all above par.
The Wall street pools and specula-
live syndicates, encouraged by the
abundance and cheapness of credit,
resumed operations with rather
more confidence than they have
shown on preceding days.
The drop in french exchange car
ryiug rates to their more recent
low points. quite evidently was an
expression OF banking acument re-
garding the latest developments in
German reparations and the pro-
oosed international loan. 1t seems
Increasingly likely that the banker
conferees at Paris would adjourn
without any action, this THANKS ID
the obstinacy of France and her
refusal TO yield an iota for the sake
Of economic good of the rest OF the
world. Sterling came down with
the continental exchanges, but in
It's case the decline was the result
Of speculative realizing sales, which
quite well might haye come about
without anything In the outside
news.
The rise in the sugar market
brought prices to new high levels
for the year-the refined to Sc a
hundred pounds, the raw sugar to
50 a hundred pounds. This is an
interesting ans wer to the campaign
waged by certain prominent repre-
sentatives of the sugar trade in an
endeayor to make the public be-
lieve that no improvement need be
expected until the present ratio Of
demand and supply. 1t is now past
doubling that the turn in the sugar
Industry which set in four months
ago was a real and lasting change
based logically upon the working
of Of the enormous unsold portion
Of the 1921 crop.
1t was the sugar stocks which
broke the monotony of a very dull
forenoon on the stock exchange
Their advance was followed after
midday by a renewal of buying il

The Studebaker advance seemed Il
be a special movement founded
upon expectation of either and in

button at the next meeting. Con
seqGently il did have much effec
upon the rest of the motor group.

Alcohol

The fact that alcohol is a habit
forming drug is the most vital point
in the further education of the peo-
pie. Why should we waste time in
arguing whether beer and wine are
Intoxicating? The drunkenness of
Persia, Greece and Rome, wine
drinking countries, hundreds of years
before the process of distillation was
discovered. Two thousand years ago,
beer drunkenness was described in
Germany.
What would be the effect of modi-
flying the Volstad law to permit the
manufacture and sale or beer and
wine? Ii would re-establish the
the liquor traffic with the old gov
ernmental sanction. 1t is idle to
say that the saloon would not return
the old saloon was beer saloon.
With the legalized sale of beer
whiskey and other drinks would also
return. No man concerned with the
sale of liquor ever obeyed restric-
tive law any better than prohibi-
tory law.
Chief Justice VIM. H. Taft says
"Any such loop hole as light wines
and beer would make the 18th
amendment a laughing stock"

THE MESSIAH
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Rendition Last Sunday of the Great
Oratorio Drew Out a Capacity
Audience.
PROF. SPERATI HAS
ACCOMPLISHED WONDERS
The Solos Were Beautifully Rendered
and Difficult Parts Carried
With No Apparent Effort.

Singing to the usual capacity au.
dience The DEBORAH Choral Union
again presented the oratorio ''The
Messiah Sunday, Dec. II, at the
F. n. f. l.. church. This impressive
Oratorio the epic of music, has ush-
cred in the Christmas season at De-
corah for several years and is an
annual event, tradition.
The rendition this year was parti-
cularly successful. DEBORAH knows
the Messiah better every year as
was evident this year in the preci-
sion, the attack, and the cleaness
with which each part stood out in
the chorouses, each in its proper pro-
! portion. Prof. Sperati has indeed ac-
complished wonderful thing in
building up this oratorio in DEBORAH.
Under his leadership the Messiah at
DEBORAH bids fair to rival the fam
Gus. Bethany Messiah. Prof.
Speratfs untiring efforts and indom-
liable spirit as well as his genius
for direction have made this posi-
bic.
The solos were taken by local
talent. The soprano parts were
rendered by Mrs. L. A. Moe, in her
indispensable manner The difficult
parts were carried with no appar-
ent effort and beauty alone remain
ed. Particularly was the air "Come
unto Him all we that labor and are
heavy laden and He shall give you
rest" given with well nigh perfec-
| ton.
Miss Esther Torrison carried the
alto parts. Being new to oratorio
she yet carried her parts with great
credit. Her voice is strong yet
sympathetic and was effective in "He
was despised."
The male voices were Mr.. Sylfest
Orwell and Mr.. Sigvart Steen, OF
Luther College. Mr.. Orwoll's bass
is we'll known to Decoran, and ne
lived up to high expectation of him.
The quality Of his voice is superb.

returned they discovered a large
skunk in one of the upstairs rooms.
There was some lively thinking for
few minutes as to what was best
to be done. After a consultation
they turned out the lights and left
the front door open which leads to
the stairway. In a little while the
skunk came down stairs and diSap-
peared through the front door into
