Would Postpone Timber Sale. St.” Paul, Oct. 31.—An effort is being made by some of the lumber- men to secure an adjournment of the annual state timber sale which is scheduled to be held next Thuss- day. The present stringency of the money market is offered as the reason for asking the adjournment, as the lumbermen will find it difficult to borrow the money with which to make the cash payments demanded by the state at such rates. Several lumbermen called upon Gov. Johnson yesterday and urged the postponement of the sale for a short time in order to allow the financial conditions to resume their normal condition. It was claimed that the state would be the gainer by the postponement, as under the present conditions it would not be possible to get as good prices for the timber as could be obtained later. Gov. Johnson said he would consult with the other members of the timber board in regard to the postponement, but no meeting was held yesterday and the matter probably will be considered at meeting this morning.

SCARE 1S SUBSIDING Runs Upon New York Banks Practically Cease,’ STOCK MARKET UNSTEADY Calling in of Loans Causes a Decline In Prices, Canadian Pacific Leading In the Slump—Worldwide Scramble for Gold. New York, Oct. 3 —The financial situation is without notable develop- ments and the abating interest indi- cates that the public has pretty well gotten over its scare. The stock mar- ket s a little unsteady, but without extreme agitation. The announcement that the ;Impe- rial bank of Germany had raised its discount rate from 5% to 6% per cent In order to protect its gold holdings was not unexpected by bankers here. It is thought quite likely that the Bank of England will follow suit by raising its rate at the regular meeting on Thursday. The scramble for! gold is such at all the financial centjers— London, Paris, Berlin and New 'York —that the metal will go to the high- est bidder and under present condi- tions New York is likely to appear for a time in this role. Her ability to get gold is due not only to the need for it, but to the large credits which are being established by the movement of the crops and other products—notably wheat, cotton, copper, tobacco and meats—and by the sale of American securities. These influences are usually more potent than artificial measures to obtain the yellow metal. It is believed this will be effective to place sufficient gold at the command of the New York market and to main- tain credit and cause the resumption ! of banking operations in the usual manner within a few days. Runs upon the banks here have practically ceased since the banks adopted the policy of paying large de- positors in checks. Some transfers of accounts are being made from the smaller to the larger banks, which resulted in adverse balances against the former, but strengthening the ability of the larger institutions to meet pressure and to support the ! market. STOCK MARKET LOWER. Canadian Pacific Leads in Slump of Prices. New York, Oct. 3 —Operations were much restricted when business began at the stock exchange, but the tone was irregular, prices moving con- trarywise in different parts of the list. Canadian Pacific ran off 4%, Southern Pacific preferred 2, New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, American Smelting and Westinghouse Electric 1. Northern Pacific and Amal- gamated Copper rose a point, The market became quite weak in the course of the first hour, owing to the unsettling influences of the 5%- point break in Canadian Pacific, in which there was evidence of forced liquidation. The copper stocks formed a point of resistance, Amalgamated Copper rising 1%, Anaconda 2, Granby Mining 5 and American Smelting pre- ferred a point. Northern Pacific, Pa- cific Mail and Wisconsin Central pre- ferred also rose 2 and Reading over a point. The market gave clear evidence of & renewal of forced liquidation caused by the withdrawal of credits in which the stock affected figured as collateral. Canadian Pacific slumped 8 points un- der this process, Pennsylvania 4, New York Central and Brooklyn Rapid Transit 3%, St. Paul 3% and Union Pacific 2. The liquidation appeared to spend its immediate force shortly after 11 o'clock and the market quieted. 2 The closing out of loans at the stock exchange through renewed of- ferings of stock on the market, where there was no adequate demand to meet the supply, caused prices to crumble away at heavy sacrifices for the sellers. Canadlan Pacific’s decline reached 9 points, Peunsylvania uearly 6, Union Pacific 4%, St. Paul 8%, Great Northern preferred 4, Missouri Paclfic 27, Western Union 2%, Amer. ican Smelting 2%, Reading 2% and = large number of stocks between 1 and 2 polnts. Norfolk and Western pra- ferred sold at a decline of 8 and West- Inghouse Electric 5. The pressure of the liquidation re- laxed late in the day, when some addl- tional sums were loaned at the stock exchange by the banks. Considerable rallies followed. HOPES TO KEEP'ITS GOLD German Imperial Bank Advances Ex- change Rate. Berlin, Oct. 8 \—The exchange rate of the Imperial bank of Germany has been raised from 6% to 614 per cent. It s significant of the changed situa- tlon in the market here that the ad- vance was a full 1 per cent, whereas the bank Oct. 17 only discussed rais- Ing the rate half of i per cent. The ¢hange is directly due to New York’s demand for gold, which it is feared here will lead to gold exports from Germany. The exchange rates of all the lead: Ing countries are now above the gold point. The market had expected the German bank to await the Bank of England’s action, but Monday’s gold engagements in London for New York apparently made immediate ac- tlon here necessarv. Finishes Trip Without Rudaer, Plymouth, Eng,, Oct. }/—The North German Lloyd steamer Kalser Wil- helm der Grosse, from New. York Oct. 22, for Bremen by way of Plymouth, has arrived here and reported the loss of her rudder when she was two and @ half days out from New York while & flerce storm was raging.

Cooper, the man who believes! that 90 per cent. of all ill health of this generation is caused by stomach trouble, is fast winning a national faith in his theory. His claim is now admitted by a surprising number of people throughout the country, and he is gaining new adherents every day. ‘While speaking of his success in a recent interview, Mr, Cooper said: “I believed ten years ago that any ome whe could produce a formula that! would thoroughly regulate the stom- ach would have a fortune. When I got hold of this formula I knew with- in six months that I was right, and that my fortune was made. I called the medicine Cooper’s New Discovery, although I did not get up the formula. I have owned it, however, for over three years. I have had one lawsuit over it, which I won in the courts. ‘When it was settled The Cooper Medi- cine Company became the only firm in the world that can prepare the medi- cine. The preparation has sold like wildfire wherever introduced. As I have said before, it is successful sim- ply because it puts the stomach in perfect shape, then nature does the rest. There are any number of com- iplaints never before associated with stomach trouble that the medicine has alleviated in thousands of cases.” IN HIS FAVOR a Fortune. Among statements obtained recently | from users of this medicine that ig | arousing such universal discussion is one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living in Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule- vard, who said: “Perhaps I had the most complicated case that Mr.” Cooper had to deal with. I was troubled for | years with my stomach. I consulted with doctors and took many patent | medicine preparations without result, My stomach was in such a wretched [ shape that I could not enjoy a meal | that I ate. “I was very nervous, and could hardly sleep; I haé a roaring in my ears and dancing spots before my eyes. I felt very bad and weak. Then there | {WANTE Cooper Fought to Retain Formula Which | WANIS - ONE CENT A WORD. HELP WANTED. WANTED FOR U. S.
