Daily Market Letter Contributed

pany, Brokers.
Following the precedent of the
past several days London showed
advance this morning in Ameri
can standard stocks. While New
York responded to this advance
somewhat, on the opening, mar
ket soon began to sag and a de
cline was recorded all along the
line. We still believe standard
stocks to be an excellent pur
chase and recommend buying St.
Paul, sugar, U. P. and Mexican
| Central.
j Cotton—There was a further
[decline today in Liverpool, the
i loss aggregating 4 to 5 points.
Receipts there were very heavy,
being 17,000 bales, with sales of
| but 6,000. Spots were 7.72—6
j down. In New York prices open
ed off 11 to 12 points, but at once
: advanced 6 to 7 points. The mar
ket was very active and short re
actions were followed by quick
recoveries. The close was strong
| at an advance of 5 to 11 points.
Spots 13.75, 10 points off. Sales
752, 700 being on contracts.

vance today. There was heavy
buying by the St. Louis crowd,
the big bear clique thereby cover
ing large lines of short contracts,
the bulls also buying largely.
Snow’s weekly crop bulletin and
good business, both in cash
wheat and flour, has stimulated
investment buying on a large
scale.
Corn — The market showed
great strength today.
Oats showed the strength of
the other cereals.
Provisions were the weak spot
in Chicago today. We see no
reason, however, for holders of
long contracts to feel apprehen
sive. There is no doubt but the
present prices are too low to con
tinue for any length of time.

BLACK ROCK’S
HEAVY RAIN.
Last Sunday a storm passed
over this place and generally over
the valleys drained by Spring
river and Elevenpoints, and a
general flood followed, raising
Black river five feet by Monday
morning. All creeks and gulches
became raging torrents, spread
ing destruction everywhere. Fac
tory creek, that empties into the
river here took away the fences
that it could reach, and either
washed away the ground or
covered it with sand.
On Luther Brinkley’s farm it
; washed away considerable land
| that had been planted in melons
and on other parts of the patch it
i piled great sand bars.
At Rose Hill farm it was high
er than for twenty years, and did
much damage to fencing.
At the railroad trestle, near the
furniture factory, drifts lodged
and the water rose five feet high
er above than below and shoved
i the track out of line, while at the
I wagon bridge below a bent was
. | washed away, causing the
bridge to drop in the center. —

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano M
STRUCTURE,
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the founda* I
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect I 9
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction I 8
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre- I |fc||
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reajhed the goal, J
Kimball is Promi nent. | i
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. All |\
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not 1 \ -a
jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano I \ Ji
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the 1 \ $
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output 1 \|||
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quaTf®fcsSS(^39i^—
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all. Jffl
