The market was very steady until near the close, when the longs took thelr profits and the market broke nearly 3c.

Bearish View Taken of Government Orop Report Weakens Wheat Values. Chicago, Bept. 9 —Wheat showed some weakness" today, largely because of a bear- ish construction which many traders placed on the government crop report. It was con- tended that the government figures did not tully confirm extreme low estimates of some of the leading crop speciallsts. Un- certainty over Balkan war developments tended also to handicap the bulls, Opening prices, which ranged from 13c¢ lower to %o advance, were followed by additional losses and then a fair rally. Realizing sales to make trades even for the week end led afterward to further de- olines. The close was unsettled at 3%0 to 3%c net lower, with December at $1.53% and May at $1.54%. Free offerings by holders weakened the corn market. Thé main incentive to sell was the fact that predictions had been ex- cessively bullish us to the government crop estimate. After opening % @l%c lower, prices underwent a further sag. No important rallies took place. The close was nervous at 134¢ to 2c net decline, In oats as In corn the Washington orop ad a bearish influence. On the dip, leading houses were good buyers. Provistons averaged lower on account of lack of support. Hogs promised to be a iirtle more plentiful next week than at the corresponding _time last year. NEW YORK GENERAL MARKET.

Discouraging crop con- ditions were ignored, except for moderate restraint In grangers. This was more than offset by strength in other important stocks. United States Steel rose more than three points to a new high record and shipping shares were again consplcuous with a new maximum for Atlantlc, gulf and West In- dies, while Reading made its highest quota- tion of the year at 11234.

Lloyd George said: “It is the practice tdb communicate to other departments concerned, any information on matters of public in- terest which may be obtained (hroufih the censorship for such use to be made of it as the particular depart- ment may consider advisable, The government is prefectly within its rights in using any information which come. to it in these conditions for any public and national purpose ” Six days thi; Same days Same day 3 Same days 3 weeks a, 880 46,068 65, Same days 4 weeks ago..20,067 46,799 74,430 Same days last year....32,426 33,402 145,810 Cattle—Receipts this morning were as usual extremely smal! and the. run for the week has been very light, receipts dur- Ing the first three days 1 tly reduced by the threatened rall atrike.

Although the American government has contended strongly against the wholesale deten- tion and seizures of mail between neutral countries, as in violation of international law, so far there has been no formal c‘ur.e that improper use was being made of information gleaned from opened neutral corres- pondence. Delay Vexes Officials Officials here already were vexed at England's long delay in answering the American censorship note of May 26, and it is probable that any inquiry into the new development will ex- press that feeling. A brief prelimi- 'nary note was received July 20, but it was inconclusive. .

Some days before, Andrew Bonar Law had said that information contained in the censored letter of a neutral oleomargarine manufacturer indicated that competition would come from that source and that the export tax would be necessary to pre- serve the industry to the country, Later, a member of Parliament asked Lloyd Geor:c whether he was aware that “when censorship was instituted we were told it was definitely and solely for the object of 49..101 ...

These gentlemen, he writes, had denied him “the common compliment of a visit when, in order to wremnize his majesty’s birthday, I gave a pub- lic entertainment at my house, and all gentlemen that would come were ad- mitted. These eight committeemen,” he continues, “would neither come to my house nor go to the play which was acfed on the occasion.” They flreferred, instead, it would seem, to ave a party of their own in the house of burgesses and invite everybody who would come there to drink to the king's health, What the play here referred to was or when it was performed, we do not know, but Judge Daly, to whose re- searches concerning the early theaters in America allusions have previously been made, conjectures that the per- formance to which the governor gra- ciously lent his support was one of those given in that Williamsburg the- ater to which Graham refers as “the first institution of the kind in the Brit- ish_colonies,” To be sure, Williamsburg had only a small resident population at this time. But this would not necessarily imply that plays and a playhouse might not have flourished there. For it was the capital of a widely extended province. It was here that the gov- ernor resided, here where the legisla- ture assembled, here that the law courts were held, and the prosperous planters of the day came for periods of recreation. Even at the early date when Jones' history was written, he asserts that the people of Williams- burg lived “in the same neat manner, dress after the same modes and be- have themselves exactly as the gentry of London” And Cooke, in his “His- tory of the People of Virginia,” shows the Williamsburg of only a little later to have been the center of all that was brilliant and attractive in Virginia so- ciety.—~Mary C.

The women in their speeches also failed to mention the question of method, The president was warmly applaud- ed before, during and after his speech. With Mrs. Wilson he sat during sev- eral addresses, Fears expressed be- fore the meeting that he might be “heckled” did not materialize. At the conclusion of his address Mrs, Catt thanked him for speaking.

Alexander McCarron, aged 82, noted hunter of the Orient, but now a mine owner in Bisbee, Ariz, is in Pittsburgh, He came with the west- ern contingent of delegates to the | biennial convention of Orange lodges now in session. | He was speaking of hunting to some delegates last night when he was told that a man lived in this city who killed am ountain lion with a club. Mr, McCarron, who was _ of- ficial hunter for the English nobility visiting in the East Indies, and had managed the hunting trips of King Edward when he was a prince, com- plimented the Pittsburgher. “T believe him, but I can go him one better,” he said. “I killed a mountain fion with my bare hands. It happened in the Cougar range, a spur of the Rockies, A large party of millionaires from the east, accompanied by their wives, came hunting., 1 was assigned to protect the women, and we were going through a small canyon, topped with scraggy dwarf pine and rugged, wind-twisted oaks, There was a fine girl in the party, who reminded me of my own daughter, the wife of a British captain. “Her mount got nervous and plunged ahead. In my haste to catch the fnorse I droj ch my rifle. As 1 approached the ?eeinl woman I was horrified to see a large mountain lion, crouched ready for the spring as the horse would pass under the jutting crag it occupied. “] knew it meant death to her, if I could not overtake her and the fright- ened horse. I was unarmed and the women in the rear were crying out in fright. T could see the lion's muscles quivering under his tawny skin, I was just along-side the girl when the mountain lion shot out from the crag like a catapult. “I remembered the story of David, who slew the lion with his bare hands. I had thought many a time of the wa: he might have done it. But never till that moment did 1 get a solution &f the story. “The lion was about to light and missed the girl, But he struck on the neck of my horse, and we three, the horse, the lion and myself went down together. [ had to think quick. The lion regained his feet and was crouched to spring upon my horse when it noticed me, He leaped, but luck was with me. [ braced myself and caught him under the chin and pushed his head up. I was close be- tween the lion's front legs and clear of his tearing claws, “I had a tight hold of the clump of hair under the lion's chin, With the other arm [ held him close to me. 1 managed to get my knee just where his graceful neck and giant breast join. I pressed his head up as far as { could and held him, pressing with my knee on his windpipe as hard as I could. “The others came within a few hun- dred feet, and a man rescued the young woman while she-was still un- conscious, Another hunter wanted to shoot the lion as I held him, but I told him, like David, 1 wanted to con- quer the wild beast with my bare hands. That’s how I killed the moun- tain lion. I choked him to death, but 1 am also of the opinion that [ broke the lion's neck.”—Pittsburgh Dis- patch.

Convention Beats Motion to Support Candidates Favor- ing Amendment. ;mvx LONG, HOT DEBATE I Atlantic City, N. J. Sept 9.—The National American Woman Suffrage | association has reaffirmed its policy “of nonpartisanship as an organization toward national political parties and | defeated by an overwhelming vote an |attempt to place the association on Irecord as in favor of supporting na- | tional candidates who pledge their | support to the proposed equal rights jamendment to the federal constitu- tion, | The resolution, which was intro- | duced by Mrs. Raymond Robins, wife ‘of the chairman of the last national convention of the progressive party, | was branded by some of the delegates | as an anti-Wilson move, despite vehe- {ment denials by Mrs. Robins and others who signed the resolution, The resolution provoked a long and warm debate in which these denials were supplemented by declarations that the resolution was nonpartisan | and that it was not aimed at President | Wilson, who has not come out in sup- ! port of the federal amendment. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of tke association, was vehe- .ment in her denunciation of the reso- lution, She supported other speakers who said the passage of the resolution would hurt the suffrage cause all over the United States. She drew attention to the fact that President Wilson fa- vors woman suffrage and voted for it in his own state. After the Robins resolution was de- feated the convention adopted a reso- lution reaffirming its nonpartisan at- titude toward national political parties. The resolution also stated that this policy did not preclude the right of any member of the associa- tion from working against the election of any candidate of women in states where they have the right to vote.
