COSSOfl TAKES
UPBEEBE LAW
Attorney General Thinks Statute
Will Rid State of Bcolleggers.
Des Moines, July 8. Attorney Gen
eral Cosson is interesting himself iu
the Beebe law requiring county attor
neys to secure and publish the names
of all persons holding federal liquor
licenses.
In a letter sent out to the county at
torneys of the state, In response to
many inquiries received from them,
he points out the way to secure the
names.
When Representative Beebe was
preparing the bill to be presented to
the legislature last winter, he con
ferred with the attorney general and
the latter consulted internal revenue
collectors. Thereby a plan was de
vised whereby the county attorneys
can secure from the federal officers
the names of persons who hold federal
licenses, yet do not comply with the
mulct law nor do not hold a registered
pharmacist's permit. Such persons are
bootleggers, under the law.
He directs the county attorney to
go to the records In the county aud
itor's and county clerk's offices and
secure a mulct license, also a regis
tered pharmacist's permit. This list,
he directs, should be forwarded to the
internal revenue collector with in
structions to All in the list, all other
persons who hold federal licenses.
This will give information concern
ing every bootlegger In the county.
In conclusion of his letter the attor
ney general snys:
"In my opinion, this is a tnost salu
tary piece of lio.uor legislation, and if
the several county attorneys of Iowa
will avail themselves of all the ad
vantages of this law, there will be very
little bootlegging In Iowa from now
on."

WEEK IN TRADE

Hoi Weather and Shut Downs
Have Depressing El.'ect.
FUTURE OUTLOOK FAVORABLE.
Inquiries for Pig Iron Continue In
Excess of Actual Trading, With Buy

Seen by Dun and Bradstreet'e.
New York, July 8. Bradstreefs
ays: Excessively hot weather, half
yearly shut downs for repairs and In
ventories, vacations and holidays have
combined to make last week a quiet
period In trade and Industry. While
the hot spell now apparently moderat
ing has been helpful to trade In light
summer fabrics and wearing apparel
at retail, that branch of demand has
hardly equalled expectations, while un
certainties as to crops have tended to
restrict or repress operations for the
future.
Industry generally Is quiet over the
turn of the year period. Caution and
conservtlsm, withal a fair degree of
optimism In the face of the depressing
weather conditions, are in evidence In
leading lines.
Cotton goods are quiet and much In
terest lies In thnt crop's progress,
pending which operations are closely
curtailed.
Failures for the week were 180.
Wheat exports for the week aggre
gate 1,347,275 bushels. Corn exports
for tho week ure 976,077 bushels.
Trade as Seen by Dun.
Dun's Weekly Review of Trade
rays: Actual business is reduced by
the extreme heat extending over a
wide section of the country; other
wise developments are favorable. In
quiries for pig Iron continue in excess
of actual trading, but there Is buying
In ail sections. There Is more anima
tion In footwear, due to the arrival of
many buyers in the New England mar
ket, but purchases are confined to
current requirements. The leather
markets hold firm, but the recent holl
day served to check demand and show
manufacturers are now engaged In In
ventory taking. Supplies of sole
leather are limited. The hide market
continues well maintained, with a fur
ther advance for packer nBtlve steers.
