"I have found that one-half and maybe one-third of the papers in both Nebraska and Iowa are doinir work at more than cost and many of them less. They are losing money or grafting if they, are making money. "Legal work is being done in Iowa at much below legal rates and I find the situation the same in Ne braska, if not worse.

Bad Roads Bring Bearish Tendency on O: Increased Foreign Demand Also Factor in Upward Turn; Stored Supply De creasesDuringWeek. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Feb. 22. "Bearish senti ment predominated today in the local booze market and resulted in aggressive selling at intervals. St. Joseph options were plentifujly of fered and prices somewhat declined in the early period, but recovered later. Cash prices at the close were generally stronger than at the be ginning of the session. "This rally was due to the feeline that national prohibition will re duce the available supplies in the very near future. Increased foreign demand, as indicated in reports from London, was also a factor. iMuddy roads between st. Joseph and Omaha interfered materially with receipts. Bootleggers look for lower prices as soon as the mud dries up." Ihese are a few sample para graphs from the "Bootleg Daily Market Journal, which has been circulated lately around the 'capitol building.
