MoOdy's Weekly Review.

Moodys Weekly Review of F'inan-
cial Conditions. in its current issue.
says. in part:
Both trade movements and stock
market swings attain so much mo-
mentum that they usually go farther
than people expect. While the public
is enthusiastic over the rise. ultra con
Servative men fear that the market
is getting into an unSound condition
Probably both the enthusiasm and the
fears are unwarranted.
security prices are not subject to
sudden collapse without previous
cause or danger signals. On the con-
trary every collapse of the past has
been preceded by genuine initiation
meaning some sort of an over-eXten-
sion of liabilities which was bound in
itself to produce forced selling Of
goods or securities.
admittedly prices are more prone
to reactiopS as we approach Il high
peak: but before any collapse occurs
we may reasonably expect to witness
plain evidences of imitation. Thus far
these evidences are not in sight.
Political conservatism is one Of the
pillars of strength under this market.
and if this era of conservatism lasts
as long as others have, it still has
some years to run"

For a happy weddin' day.
So l gets a hundred buckos
From the boss, because l knows
That a woman may be lovin'
But she's also hell on clothes.
So l hands her out the lucre
And she makes me plum agree
Our engagement must be secret,
Till her school is out, y see.
And we has it all considered,
We're to- meet in Santa Fe,
At the court house and be married

Fine Collection of Rare Coins

| Mr.. G.. w. Derry Partesius Of
this place has perhaps the best col
lection of old and rare coins to be
found in this vicinity. These coins
were collected by Mr.. Partesius,
from the years 1871 to 1876, when
he was travelling with his brother-in-
| law as a concession man with fairs
and circuses. During those years
but little silver money was eXchang-
ed, and it being rare, Mr.. Partesius
| looked over carefully each piece that
passed through his hands, and in so
doing selected number OF rare
coins. He has fifty cent pieces of
the series of the years 1924, 1928,
1880, 1888 and 1885. He also has
silver trade dollar of the date of
1877, which is larger than our silver
dollar at present He also has sew
eral five franc pieces bearing date of
/ 1907 and carrying the profile of Ma
poleon; one of 1929 with the profile
of Charles X and one of Louis Phil
| ippe I. Among other coins he has
saved a five cent piece of 1883.
These coins do not contain the word
"cents''-just a "V," and the reason
for calling them in was the fact that
| they were an easy mark for the
counterfeiters who would gold plate
them and pass them on for five dol
lar gold pieces. Mr.. Partesius also
has the old half dimes, pennies of
various kinds, besides Canadian and
Mexican money and pieces from 9TH
er countries. One of the remark
able things about his collection is
that instead of the Coins having an
old appearance, they are all bright
and new looking, as if they had just
come from the mint, which makes
their lettering, etc, stand out so
they can be easily read or decipher-
ed. For many years the owner has
kept them put away in a box, and
just recently has brought them out.
