 John Dumshot of Plain- vile visited the exposition this afternoon and remarked he had never had so much en- jOyment in all his life for ten cents. He plans another visit after the Russian cottage is completed.
 Postmaster William Wilcox, with headquarters in the old house, is receiving mail daily from all over the country. The country store in the Leanto authors of the postal cards and letters had visited the exhibit. Thomas H. Cole of White Plains, N. Y, wrote: Enjoyed my visit and congratulate you upon such a fine exhibit" Miss Jane Me- Carthy of 222 Alder street, this city, wrote: Enjoyed my visit very much" Mrs. Margaret Harriss, also of this city, worded her communication as follows: eve enjoyed immensely your ex- planation of the old time coun- kry store. We certainly will make another visit when the village is completed" MT. and Mrs. Daniel Tanner of Providence, R. l., said in their letter: "Your part of the exposition was very, very good. We heartily enjoyed it." Bruce Hallberg, also of Providence, wrote: Vacation all over, but must write to tell you how won- derful your exhibit is. Hope to see your place again." Veronica Japkouski of Plantsville, thanked "Bilr' for everything he ex- plained. She promised to tell all her friends about Settlers Vil- lage.
 Sh-b-h! Is Sherlock Holmes fin the audience2 If he is, he is invited to drop up to Set- tlcrs' Village for a deep, dark mystery has developed. Only the master sleuth could solve this one, so amateur detectives need not apply. Here are the facts:
 A couple of days ago a handsome individual and his beautiful companion entered the settlement and while in- speeding the various exhibits found time to enter the fol- lowing signatures on the Offi- cial register: "Clark Gable, of Hollywood" and Miss Elea- nor Rice, of England"
 Everybody began to inquire at once if it really was the great movie star. No one seemed to know. Those who had the pleasure of seeing the two visitors were uncertain as to their true identity. The man was handsome enough to be the great screen lover. They were absolutely certain of that, but hesitated in posi- lively identifying him. His companion? Who was she? They weren't sure, either. Maybe she was some English stage or movie star. Who knows?
 And that is why Sherlock Holmes is being paged. The master sleuth will probably be clever enough to solve this great mystery. Until that time all will have to sit back and wonder, wonder, wonder. Isn't 1t thrilling, girls?

slightly stronger demand have sup
ported the upturn. Receipts today

good and choice weights was re-
ported at $1210.
The general bulk of 160 to 100
pounds cashed in at $1165 to $1195,
while 100 to 210 pounds were Of
fered at $11.95 to $12.05. Choice
classes, scaling 100 to 21O pounds,
sold at $1205 to $1210. Light
weights from 100 to 160 pounds
ranged from $1025 to $11. Good
packing sows held at $975 to $1,000.
Initial trading was scarce in the
cattle market, especially low grade
slaughter steers and heifers. Most
grassy kinds held under SO, while
beef cows were quoted from $425 to
Sc. Low cutters and cutters brought
S2.75 to 81. Receipts were 500.
Vealers again were strong and &C
tive with prices largely so cents
higher than yesterdays best aver
age. Bulk of good and choice kinds
brought SO to $3.50. Lambs we're
weak to largely Is cents lower. Bulk
of better grade eve and wether
classes sold at SO to S875. Slaugh-
ter sheep sold at 81 to So. Receipts
were 1900.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-Common
dividends to be paid American
stockholders this year will be above

of 10 other corporations to give re-
presentation to banking, insurance,

maintenance of the status quo, with
no forecast OF action later in the

1926 equals 1000 against rs for
1884 and 70 for 1888. the low point
of the depression. The peak was
recorded in 1880 when the index

The index for the current year
has been revised upward since last
April when it was first computed,
following favorable changes in the
dividends of Hartford Fire Insur-
ance, Commercial Investment Trust,
Dupont, Thinker Roller Bearing,

These favorable changes more

Dearth Not Real

There is no real dearth of CAPT.
tai in these countries and the pres
ent stringency is due principally to
currency uncertainties. Further
more. there are large amounts of
boarded gold and currency which,
once confidence is restored, will I'M
doubtedly flow back to the central
banks and further increase the
amount of capital available for in
veStment.
Another consideration is that
England is gradually beginning to
make long-term loans to countries
of the sterling bloc and that Sweden
in recent months has also been eX-
porting capital to neighboring coun-
tries. This is of significance partic-
ularly as regards some of the Scan
dinavian countries which may still
be in need of foreign capital. To
judge from developments during the
past few months these countries will
in the future look to Stockholm and
London, rather than to New York,
for lOng-term loans"

Any Increase in Interna-

Small, Study Says.

~ imfs Special
NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-The recent
hotation of a $4,000, 900 loan of the
Canadian government has been in
terpreted in some financial circles
as forecasting the reopening of the
international capital market in the
United States.
Those who take this view, the
Alexander Hamilton Institute de-
clared today in discussing the phase,
point to the relatively low rate Of
interest on the Canadian bonds and
to the abundance of capital avail
able in the United States. The lat
ter is borne out by the huge surplus
balances which the member banks
maintain with the Reserve Banks,
by the low yields on high-grade
bonds and by the low rates of in
terest prevailing throughout the
country.
There is every indication" the
Institute continued, that interest
rates in the United States will con-
tinue to be low for quite some time
and that American corporations as
well as the Federal government and
political subdivisions will be able to
meet their capital needs at low cost.

II ECENTLY this department
IN called attention to the intense
battle for markets that has been
taking place in the steel industry.
BY means of mergers and large
scale expenditures the various units
in the field have been attempting
to strengthen their competitive po-
sitions. AS a consequence OF this.
the makeup in the industry today
is vastly diSsimilar from what it
was 10 years ago.
United States Steel Corp, which,
incidentally, is a holding company,
is in no immediate danger of losing
its status as the leading steel con-
Germ in the country. Its output of
steel ingots and finished steel is
still believed to be about 40 per
cent of the total for the entire
United States. Its dominant posi-
ton is better understood when
cOgnizance is given to the fact that
Bethlehem Steel Corp. its nearest
competitor. turns out but ID per
cent of the nations steel.
Sometimes. however. the advan-
tages of bignesS are minimized.
United States Steel Corp. seems to
be meeting with this difficulty now,
as its improvement in earnings has
been relatively less than other
units in the industry. Although
the merger program can not be
placed directly to that condition it
will. nevertheless. tend to place the
corporation in better position to
bolster its income.
