DENVER, May 5.-A strong protest was
forwarded to-day to Senator Hill against
tl'at portion of the new Converse bill adj
mitting carpet woods free ofduty. 1t rep
resents that all woods of that character
grown in the United States are raised in
a section of which Colorado is the center.
The result of free admission of this class
of woods would be impoverishment to
thousands of Mexican sheep owners and
determination of their focks. The
action of representative Converse is re-
garded as selfishly in the interest of Ohio
growers, and cannot but turn from his

New York, May 5.-Henry Clews, the
banker, has become bull on the market
because he thinks the situation is such
that the bears cannot longer rule. The
bear campaign, he says, has shrunk
values 81 ,5O0,O000OO within two years,
and properties would not go lower were
they to pass into the hands of receivers.
Prices now, he says, are no more than
the value of the stock for the purpose OF
control alone. He anticipates that any
advance will be severely contested, but
that the favorable condition Of the Lon.
don money market and the reduction Of
Bank of England rates must encourage
speculation in American properties
which are now unquestionably the
cheapest in the world.
