Snow falls and other unfavorable weather con- ditions in the Canadjan, northwest had a bullish effect on the. market here as being lkely to delay the Canadian crop movement and harm the quality of receipts. selling movement which was much in evidence yesterday ‘and which ‘brought about the initial de- cline today, seemed likely to lose force.

Corn opening prices, influenced by summer temperatures, ranged from %c@1l%c lower with December at $1.09@1.10, but were followed by a rally that more than wiped out the losses.

POPULATION I DNINGREASE (Continued from Page One.) the. electric’ meters and the gas meters, active, for the same period differed by only 7 installations— which would appear authentic! As another indication, there are 200 more children enrolled at the start of this fall term of school than at the start of last fall's term. ‘There are accepted standards of factors of public service installations and school children enrollment that are used’ to determine population. y The telephone factor is 6.86 people to| | a telephone. The gas and light factor A sometimes used js 4.3 people to an in- stallation, and sometimes 4.5. The standard for school children, is 7.38 residents of any community to a school child. These factors have been used in the past as determining Casper's population—as well as other cities. Taking the total of the factors of Public utility installations, and the number of school children, and strik- ing. an average Casper’s population right now 1s 33,467, which is a gain over the January figure compiled by the. Chamher .of Commerce in a report for the General’ Freight Ser- vice Associdtion when a figure of 32,276 was reached, With exceptions of natural remoy- als, Casper lost during the past year or two large numbers of floater pop- ulation, the popylation of a. boom town—the population 'that © follows fast growing communities, and fades away “with stabilizations, seeking new fields of high wages and easy times. + Casper has lost this popula- tion, and this type ysually remarks when asked about such and such a town," Casper, or any ‘other place of similiar growth, that, “they left be- cause things had got so quiet, and there was no work for them." The increased number of gas, electric light ‘ard meter installations proves that the-floater in going made room for the’ home occupant, and the steady type that makes for civic bet- terment, economically and in’ many other ways. There are fewer living in rooming houses and boarding houses and fewer transient in Cas- per but a greater number of families living in homes, and Casper has gained immeasurably by this healthy transition further along the lines of the stabilization and economic de- velopment through which it,(as has any other city built quickly to meet a need) has’ passed. Putting it in terms of homes, there are hundreds of additional home stoves burning under family meals today than ever before, and there are prob- ably hundreds of floaters who care not for the home cooked meal, and the family environmerits—who: have no use for a gas meter or a telephone of their own, and who can only see desolation when things are not at white hot boom heat, who are else ™ By GEORGE (Copyright, 1924, cially true in the business man. business when he curities. concentrate upon when their minds these days of acti cess in trade or hi 3 agen fa 0, F is’ almost impossible for one who segapeltermctt A The te ops’ 28! has extensive speculative commit: illustration of. tho impossibility of will :probably go to thelr graves |™ents.

Speculation and Business. One of the strongest arguments against speculation aside from the loss that practically all. speculation involves sooner or later is the effect upon the mental attitude of the one who indulges therein, Rare indeed can a man keep his mind upon his own in buying or selling speculative se- y persons have the ability to the fluctuations in the markets. upon constant application and that devote their entire time to it and even then with rare er than the total for any full year which hit the peak, and 1921 which WIS TABLE MANNERS )/ pont WORRY. 1S AWFOL. 1 'FRAID = ALL THE TIME HE YOu CANT EXPECT TOO MUCH HE'S USED TO OF A MAN THAT'S LIVED HIS LIFE ‘AN TREN THAT © GRIZZW Ny rc CCONOTE TAKING | IN -TOOGH MINING CAMPS, IN BEAR GAASED THAT I | AROUND THAT TREE.
