Weakened Tone
In Grass Steers
Fed Kinds Fully Steady,
Best Near $1,000; Hogs
Lose Mondays Cain.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 13,
1888: Weakness premeated the mar
ket on grass cattle going on killer
account during the early days of this
week, but fed steers and yearlings
maintained independent strength and
held fully steady with last weeks
close, according to the Federal-State
Livestock Market Review. Upward to
SLIPS was paid frequently for steers,
with best offerings on Tuesday held
above $1,000. Grass killers were
taken at $3.50 to SITS, most short
feds $3.50 to $500. The limited quota
of dry-fed heifers held fully steady,
but grassy and warmed-up kinds were
weak. Cows ranged weak to Csc low
er and vealers were steady to soc
down. Bulls sold weak to Csc lower.
Good and choice western-type stock
ers and feeders were steady, but the
market ruled weak on all plain and
medium grade steers and yearlings
Supplies carried the largest deliveries
of western cattle since October 1887
and the market performed creditably
despite the supply expansion. Dairy
cows were very scarce but the under
tone was weak although limited sales
were steady.
Hogs blossomed out with substan-
tial upturn on Monday, but this gain
was erased in a hurry on Tuesday
when marketings increased. So, COM
pared with the close of last week, the
general average was little changed
Tuesdays top rested at $3.50, the
peak having hit 500 on Monday.
Sows sold downward from $3.50 on
the current session.
Slaughter spring lambs declined
mostly Csc on early days this week.
Increased marketings at midwestern
points gave buyers the necessary lev
erage to reduce costs over the strong
resistance of sellers. Good and choice
native spring lambs sold at SITS
today, but on Monday numerous lots
of choice natives and Dakotas made
$500, and several strings of choice
Washingtons $500 to $8.10. Choice
60 to rs pound range feeding lambs
earned $3.50, native and Dakota
breeders $3.50 to $3.50. Plain to
choice slaughter ewes ranged from
$1.50 to 1925.

One Tomato To
Serue n Family

When H. o. Hovland, who lives
along the lake shore near Orion
vile, goes out to his garden to
pick tomatoes for dinner, he
doesn't come back with five or six
medium sized ones but brings in
one tomato large enough to serve
any small sized family. Three to-
matoes, all on one cluster, each
measuring between 1871 and 1874
inches were picked by Mr.. Rowland
in his garden last weekend. The
three tomatoes weighed a total
of 31a pounds. An even larger
single tomato was picked about
a week previous in the Hovland
garden.

limited amounts of wheat are exciting qualms in

fore cost taxpayers dearly. It is feared that
artificially pegged prices will keep American
wheat out of world markets, just as similar action
has played havoc with our cotton exports, en-
abling foreign growers to expand and prosper at
Americas expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Americas eco
nomic future is getting at least little brighter.

vision Of unified Arab state. On this ideal
the famous Lawrence of Arabia worked and
planned throughout his career in the Near East.
Lawrence believed, and led the Arabs to believe,
that one great Arab nation, imbued with the
same culture and same religion, would rise as a
direct result Of the defeat of the Ottoman
Empire The Arab nation was to be supreme
from Anatolia to Alden.
All Lawrence'S promises were forgotten in the
postwar days Having won the war, it was now
no longer to the British interest to have strong

Arabs, swung in favor Of Jewish colonization

SerUes for Present

TUNE 27, 1898, Acting Comp
ID troller of the Currency Diggs,
by virtue of the authority
vested in him, promulgated his
investment securities regulation
for the guidance of banks. For
the moment at least, this serves
as banking reform. 1t may
prove to be most far-reaching
step. If it fails to open up a
vast new field of investment
and expansion, then certainly
monetary plans will have again
gone awry.
The national budget becom-
ing more unbalanced by reason
of increased expenditures and
declining revenue, calls for
more borrowing by the Govern
ment from the banks. This
procedure brings about initiation
in the form of bank credit cur
rency. Estimates have been re-
leased indicating a deficit in
the next fiscal year of 7 billion
dollars with a Federal debt of
IS billion.
Chairman Steagall Of the
House Banking and Currency
Committee announces further
banking legislation now under
consideration for next session
with three main purposes: (a)
Encourage banks to perform
their proper function of lend
ing money through provisions
that will remove fear, (b) in
crease insurance of deposits up
to say $4,000 (now $4,000.
(c) simplify examinations and
control of banks.
Chairman Steagall is quoted
as saying, '"The banks need to
be put in a position where they
can meet more adequately the
supply needs of the country"
Net Earnings

cause people continue to be
controlled by fear, boarding may
remain sufficiently high or in
crease to a point which will off
set the pump printing, desterili-
zation and further unbalancing
of the budget.
Higher wages, lower prices
and heavier taxes may place a
brake on the removal of fear.
Certainly these elements have
some influence on net earnings
and consequently the market
price of stocks. Again, I think
it is conceded stock market ac-
tivities have something to do
with the creation of fear and
the removal Of fear. If a world
cyclical slump is now we'll under
way, America may find it most
difficult to "snap" out Of our
present predicament.

"A he thought it was quite joke when flying
back from the West something went wrong with
the engine and he had to put the plane down in
a field. The reason for his success Is his ability
to pick out and have big men around him in his
organizations.
The older I get the more realize that this
ability is rare gift. To have the best men
around you you can get and not be afraid they
will steal some of your glory, is one of the first
signs Of really great man. That was part Of
Napoleon's great power, and you can go right
down in history and see that the men who stand
out are the ones who picked the greatest to be
near them. It is small mind and small soul
that is afraid to have someone who may over
shadow them around. After all, their aim in
life is to succeed and climb the ladder of fame
and fortune, and they are only too willing to
take others who they think are worthy with
them in their upward climb.
