this morning, being the smallest of sny Mon
day for a long time back and smaller than

moderate run has been anticipated, so
that no one was disappointed. The fact
that Tuesday will be election day was ex
peeted to keep good many would-be ship

Your frantic statement as to the alleged terrible conditions prevailing in Council Bluffs, appearing in Monday's Omaha papers, duly noted. No one blames you for getting crazy
when you see your business slipping away from you, and personally, I feel sorry for you, but really, gentlemen, you have a few corrections coming on those expensive full-page state
ments you have been making; because you told your people there were "SCORES OF BUILDINGS VACANT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS DISTRICT, and in
the list you publish today you fail to show EVEN ONE AND WE DEFY YOU TO SHOW ONE. You have gone out into the outlying districts you have taken upper floors or any
old BREWERY BUILDING you could find and have listed these to show how "terrible" conditions are here. Out of the SEVENTY rooms listed EIGHTEEN are new buildings built
' during 1 9 1 6, more store buildings than have ever been built in any one year in the history of Council Bluffs, because more have been rented than are vacant. FOURTEEN are second
floors in the outlying district, ELEVEN of them are nearer the Omaha business district than Council Bluffs, SEVEN of them are already rented and are being prepared for occupancy,
the ONLY ONE in the heart of the business district vacant now is the old Manhattan Saloon Building at 41 8 Broadway, which until last week was occupied by Joe Smith & Co., who
have just built a new building, and is now held by them at the regular rental until January 1 st, at which time the owner, Mr. Krasne, will tell you there are three different applicants
waiting to take possession. , '
As to the question "Did the Drys tell the truth as to the Seven Vacant Store Rooms)" I say, they emphatically did, and I defy any frantic efforts on the part of your committee
to show where there is even one vacant store building in the heart of the business district that is not rented. Of the seven vacant ones referred to four are old BREWERY BUILDINGS
formerly used as SALOONS, leaving Twenty-two rooms formerly occupied as saloons now occupied by legitimate lines. Your claim that the farmers of Pottawattamie County go
right through our city to Omaha because Council Bluffs is dry and Omaha is wet, is a libel on the honor, sobriety and decency of the people of southwestern Iowa, not mentioning the
insult to their wives and daughters, who do most of the shopping.
SHAME ON YOU, YOU BOOZE ADVOCATES, to 'stigmatize these people, even as to THEIR WIVES AND DAUGHTERS AS SALOON PATRONS. What a libel on
the citizens of the state of Iowa. ,. v '

weeks ago, end more than 2,000 larger than
for the cor re ponding (lay last year.
Aa wai pointed out Saturday, prices here
at th cloae of the week were quite a little
higher than any other point. It waa only
natural, therefore, that th market opened
alow here I hit mnmlnr, though advances
were being reported from other points. Ship
pers bought what hogs they needrd fairly
early, paying pricea that were strong to In
most cases a nickel higher.
The packers, on the other hand, took their
time about getting started and with only
one or two exceptions their opening offers
were no better than steady. Sellers, while
realising that buy era' claims that local val
aea were out of line were not unwarranted,
tried hard to get morn money, and while
It wbh clone to 10 o'clock before much of
anything waa done, packers eventually made
light conceafilons In some caaes, the market
opening steady to a nickel higher. The
trade waa the usual spotted affair, and
while some ei-llera called the market a flat
6c higher, other were unable to get mora
than steady. After a trading basla was es
tablished movement livened up, and It did
not take long to clean up the bulk of the
offering.
Towarda the close the market was slow,
and. If anything, weaker on lights, but
hogs of desirable weight and quality sold
just aa well as at any time.
The general market waa a -hade h Ik her,
On paper values looked mostly a nickel
higher, but the fact that quality was quite
& bit better than at the coee of last week
waa rt-sponslble for part of the unturn. Bulk
sold at $9. 40 ft' 9.60, with quite a sprinkling
of lights under that, and moat desirable
grades scattered on up to .75, the top.

Sheep On opening rounds, at least, the
fat lamb trade waa a mighty dull affair.
Chicago, which was low compared with tht
Missouri river markets at last week's close,
had a big run nd reported 'lower prices,
and this naturally had a depressing Influ
ence on the local market. Ituyer went
about the business of filling thnlr orders In
a leisurely manner, and as sellers were ask
ing fully steady pricea all around little was
dona during the early part of the forenoon,
about the only lambs sold up to 11 o'clock
being one string of good fed ones at $11.00.
' The market never did liven up and the
undertone was easier all the way through.
Quite a good many aales were steady or
nearly so, but. towarda midday sellers be
gan to quota declines here and there. Iambs
of the sort that brought f 1 1.00 last week
failed to make the price today, bulk of
the offerings selling at 910.60 and on down.
The fat end of a string of range lambs
landed at 610.60, and packers topped a few
out tf a band of feeders at $10.16. Moat
of the fed lambs sold above $10.60, but
some undesirable grades landed down around
$10,00. Muttons were mostly steady. Real
choice ewes were lacking, but a good kind
went around $7.00, The ewe run was large
and packers took a good many that lacked
much of being fat. Some wethers that
carried a sprinkling of yearlings made $8.26,
but others had not moved up to Midday,
and a couple of bunches of yearlings were
ill) In first hands' at noon.
In the feeder division trade got under
way In pretty good season. Quits a few
of the mors desirable lambs had sold by
lunch time on about a steady basla. Borne
good light ones reached 99.90, with others
at $9.6000-76,' 'Several loads of good feed
ing ewes went at $6.6096.76, and $7.26 was
paid for breeders.

Scattered rains In the Argentine districts
caused considerable uneasiness In the wheat
pit today and opening prices on May and
December whet were about lc lower. The
trade was, during the early trading hours,
inclined to be bearUh, but at the i-lose of
the swwi Ion wheat rallied and cloned strong
at about 2c advanre over thu opening quo
tations. The corn nit uat Ion was quite active and
the market closed about a cent higher,
while oata were rather quiet, with steady
closing prices.
The export situation was the governing
factor In wheat, while the corn market
was ruled by the strong cash demand and
also by a fairly good export Inquiry.
The oats market was without any special
feature and was firm, mainly in sympathy
with the other markets.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Opens Lower Because of Rains In
t Southern Argentine,.
Chicago, Nov, 6. Unsettled weather In
Canada hampering threshers and shippers
led to an upturn In wheat prices today after
an early decline due largely to Argentine
rains. The market closed strong with De
cember lc to 2o net higher, with De
cember at $1.86 and $1.86. May at $1.50
01.60. Corn gained 0c, oats, c, and
provisions, 12032c.
It was not until the laat half of the ses
sion that the bulls were enabled to obtain
Control of the wheat market. Previously
the trade waa under the Influence of ad
vices telling of welcome supplies of moisture
In southern Argentina, the precise section
where downpours would be of most benefit
In offsetting the effects of drouth. Another
advantage for the bears here was the fact
that speculative demand was minimise on
account of hesitancy about making new com
mitments just before a general holiday.
Knowledge that the United States visible
supply still showed a tendency to Increase
counted likewise agalnat the bulla. All these
factors, however, were susequently put at a
discount by news that the British govern
ment was buying on a large scale at Win
nipeg as a result of prospective cutting down
of receipts. 1
Signs of Improved export demand at the
United States seaboard contributed to the
late strength In wheat. In this connection
It waa polned out that world shipments
were abou 3,000,000 bushels under last year's
and that the amount of wheat on ocean pas
sage was also largely short ef the corre
sponding total In 1916. '
Corn responded alike to the early weakness
and the late firmness of wheat, Increasing
receipts or corn were counter-balanced by
fresh export aales. Oata swayed with other
cereals. Bulls contended that the visible
supply of oata had about reached the crest

United States Steel Is Contral
figure to Great Extent
Than Before.
POLITICS CUTS NO FIGURE
New York, Nov. 6. Wall street's con
fidence In or Indifference to the outcome of
the presidential election was unmistakably
demonstrated according to the Individual
point of view, by today's operation. In the
Judgment of d Is passion ate observers, the
market's remarkable strength and breadth
Its undercurrent of confidence were based
on fundamental and fntrinstc conditions far
removed from immediate political consider
ations. United States Steel was the central feature
to a greater extent that recently, not only
because of Its extraordinary activity In
which It far outdistanced all other favorites,
but also by reason of Its rise of 3 points
to 123, exactly a point above Its previous
maximum. Utah Copper and Central
Leather rivalled steel In ascending to new
record, Utah gaining 2 at 114 and
leather 6 points at 103.
Urgent demand was Indicated at various
times for other Industrials and equipments
notably Lackawanna, Crucible and S Ions
Sheffield Steels, Republic Iron, Colorado
Fuel, American and Baldwin Locomotives,
the Sugars, Motors, Papers, Fertilizers and
Petroleums and Issues dependent In a mean-
j ure on tariff conditions. Gains In these
i diversified groups ranged from 1 to 4 points,
tne greater part which It retained.
Coppers followed the race set by Utah,
though In more moderate degree, their
course being guided by reported sales of the
refined metal for delivery in . the spring of
next year at 30 c per pound. There were
irregular gains of 1 to 2 points in national
enameling. American Woolen, Pittsburgh
Coal, and Lorillard Tnbacco, while Columbia
Oas featured the utilities at the record quo
tations of 47.
Rails were firm to strong, Reading, Union
Pacific, New York Central, St. Paul and
Atchison representing the Pacific divisions,
while Rock Island, Denver and Rio Orand
preferred. Southern Railway common and
preferred, Wabash and Chespeake & Ohio
were foremost In the minor division. Total
sales 1,520.000 shares. .
Bonds were firm, but lacking In special
features. Total sales, par value, $6,126,000.
United States bonds unchanged on call. -
