Census of Wool Stockings Taken By the English (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) London, July 4.—Since thec lose of the last colonial wool auctions in- teresting developments have occurred in the wool trade. The war trade de- partment suddenly decided on taking a census of the wool stocks in Great Britain, and, without publishing the results, announced that no sale or dealings in English-grown wool were to be allowed, consequently all En- glish and Scotch wool fairs were can- celled. As the clip is about due, traders with contracts arranged were anxious, but they had hardly expressed their surprise and astonishment when the government suddenly announced it would buy the whole of the English, Scotch and Irish output for the sea- son of 1916, at prices on the basis rul- ing before the war plus 30 per cent. This is considered by farmers to be in- sufficient to meet the advance in other commodities and deputations are be- ing sent to the war office with a view of getting better terms. . Just what the idea of the authorities is in buying the whole of the clip it is difficult to determine unless it be that they have designs on the Australian clip as well, or to fix the maximum prices for future sales in London and other centers. A belief prevails that by holding up the English clip (which for 1915 to- taled about 122,&)0,000 pounds) an in- creased demand will be experienced for New Zealand crossbred wool and prices at the sales in July will be dearer unless the authorities decide to fix prices in the meantime. In the manufacturing centers comb- ing charges have again been raised and while ,top-makers are trying to get an extension of old contract prices the wool-combing employes have come out on strike for more money, thus adding to the existing difficulties of the trade generally. The labor situation is so acute that top-makers have decided to insert a clause in fu- ture contracts “that sellers reserve the power to add to contract price accord- ing to increased charges made in combing.” = As far as the London market is con- cerned little business is being done in Australian wool in view of the uncer- tainties existing, but where inquiries have been made for raw material sell- ers ask higher quotations than those ruling at the beginning of this month. Best merino 64s tops are being quoted at the high price of 4s 6d per ound, against about 3s 8d this time ast year and 2s 5d in June, 1914. Export yarn business is practically at a standstill and even France is un- able to get more than a very small proportion of its requirements owing to the strictness of the embargo con- ditions. Women Doctors to Practice In Peking for First Time (Correnpondence of Tho Assoclated Press.)

Little Attention Paid to Note on Seizure of Mail (Correspondence of The Associated Pn.n‘) London, July 4.—Surprisingly little attention has been given in this coun- try to the American note on seizure o(vthe mails, When published in America only brief and rather exag- erated summaries were sent by the Eritish correspondents, The note was ublished in full only b{ the Times on Yune 19, several days after the Ameri- can papers which printed it had ar- rived in England, On Saturday the foreign office issued the text as an official paper for publication on Tues- day, June 27. U5 Almost the only important editorial reference to the note is made by the Economist in its issue of today. It oints out that “owing to lack of in: ormation the public in this country has failed to understand the constant references by President Wilson and by leading newspapers in the United States to the question of ‘Freedom of the Seas.'” After quoting a large part of the note the Economist says: “It will be seen thata good deal of feeling has been evinced, and that great care and discrimination are re- quired in order not only to meet the suseptibilities of friendly neutrals, but also to avoid the establishment of precedents which, under different cir- cumstances, we should not tolerate ourselves as neutrals in a future naval war, Supposing, for example, there were a war between Spain and Sweden, and the belligerents claimed the right to intercept mails between London and Paris or London and New York, and to open all private letters, would that pass? The sum- ming-up of the note is very strong. It declares that the rights of neutrals are as sacred as the rights of belligerents, and must be as strictly observed, and concludes: ‘Only a radical change in the present British and French policy, restoring to the United States its full rights as a neutral power, will satisfy this government.’ Fortunately we have an arbitration treaty with the United States, which Germany has not.” Cousin of William Dean Howells Dies at Villisca, la. Mrs, Mary Howells Pleak, formerly a resident of Omaha, died yesterday morning at the home of her son, Robert Pleak at Villisca, Ia. She was 80 years ald.

Thousands, annoyed by headaches, nervous- ness, biliousness, sleeplessness, etc.—often due to coffee drinking—have heeded a friendly sugges- tion to quit the coffee and use Instant Postum This pure food-drink is made of wheat, roast- ed with a bit of wholesome molasses. It has a rich, sna?py flavor much like that of hiih-grade Java coffee, yet it contains no caffeine—the drug in cof- fee—nor other harmful element. Freedom from caffeine gives Nature right of way to rebuild and revitalize the mental and phy- gical forces. There are two forms of Postum: The original Postum Cereal must be boiled; Instant Postum, a soluble form, is made in the cup by adding boiling water—ready instantly. Some prefer one, some another; they are equally delicious and the cost per cup is about the same. With most coffee-drinkers the change to Pos- tumfmarks the start to better health and greater comfort. “There’s a Reason” Grocers everywhere sell Postum, Friends Surprise Redman On Birthday Anniversary George L.
