Sales amounted to 535,000 shares, the largest turnover in almost a month. Of this total United State's steels’s quota was about 30 percent. Domestic developments had no di- rect bearing upon the market. The reports of several leading copper pro-} ducing companies varied, but quarter- ly statements of the independent steel companies were mainly favorable. Monetary conditions were conflict- ing, call loans stiffening while time funds were in freer supply, though; quotably unchanged. Bonds were ir- regular, Japanese first 4’s declining 4 % and Paris 6’s hardening a large fraction. Liberty issues were active, but variable. Sales (par value) aggre- gated $5,750,000.

Regional Di- rector Aishton has written the Mid- land general offices at Jamestown for their views on the matter. Under the railway control bill, President Wilson may, any time prior to July, relin- quish short-lines not essential to the operation of the national system. The Midland Continental hasn’t quite made up its mind whether it wants to be relinquished or not. The company operates 76.34 miles of track, spurs, sidings’ and everything included. It has ‘two passenger cars, 16 freight cars and two miscellaneous cars, its rolling stock totaling 20. It connects at Edgeley with the Milwaukee line and the Northern Pacific, at James- town with the Northern Pacific and Wiimbledon with the Soo Line. The Midland is sapitalized at $3,500,000; has a bonded debt of $1,750,000; gross earnings in 1917 of $84,862; net earn- ings of $2,639, and a net income of something more than $100,000 less than nothing.

The inventor would like to interview capital in your locality to manufacture the machines at yottr closest point. a The inventor also has a miniature machine that can be demonstrated that such production is correct as stated. One ton of straw would light and cook for an ordinary farm house, if it was made into gas, for seven months. The estimate shows that one ton of straw will make 20,000. cubic feet of luminating gas, and other valu- able by-products which are not taken into consideration at the present time. Furthermore, the machine has its sim- plicity, economy and safety. Address Frank Pfeifer, 5141 Washburn Ave. S, Minneapolis.
