Short Contracts.

The Feature Was the Movement to Cover
Short Contracts.
New York, July 22-The feature of
the trading at the stock exchange to-
day was the movement to cover short
contracts. This was most pronounced
ton and Quincy figured for 40, 200 shares,
Rock Island for $4,000 and st. Paul for
q, 900. The increase In business in
these stocks was due entirely to the
efforts of the shorts to cover and their
purchases led to sharp rises. Burling-
ton and Quincy rose to SS1a, Rock ISL
and 2% to TAN, st. Paul ~ to 6sas,
Northwest 11s to 100ss, and Omaha *
to 405s.
The brilliant outlook for spring wheat
and corn alarmed the short sellers of
ten days ago and the rise can be safely
attributed to the efforts of this contin-
gent to get back their contracts. The
fact that progress is making In the way
Of rehabilitating bankrupt properties Is
also having considerable influence. The
fight for the control Of the Valley road
Of Ohio has been compromised. The
Baltimore and Ohio is to reorganize the
property and the Wheeling and Lake
Erie is to have a ninety rine-year traf-
fic contract.
Northern Pacific affairs are also in a
fair way of settlement. President Fill
of the Great Northern arrived in town
tonight. 1t is understood that the
Adams committee and the leading bank
| ing interests have held a conference of
late and that the chances for a sue
cessful reorganization Of the Northern
Pacific road have improved Important
developments may be exp cted this week

German business Men Complain Of the

WASHINGTON, Feb 2.-The abargain
sale SO dear to the American woman.
has been introduced into Germany, with
results SO disastrolS to conservative
German business methods that the gov
ernment has sbeen appealed to to cure
the evil. A bill has been drawn for sub
mission, first to the federal council and
then TO the reicllstag, intended to check
the practice. United States CONNER
cial agent Stern nc Bamberg has Supplied
q copy of this bill to the state
department. with extended comments
UPON the conditions which have caused
its preparation. The proposed law is di-
rected first of all against those institu.
tlons in which the managers OF so called
bargain sales, by means Of advertise
ment, effect a sale Of merchandise of in
different value, thus supplying the de-
maIid OF section or entire district for a
considerable period, during which, of
course, legitimate business houses have
to suffer, apd the welfare of the whole
community Is injured. A number of
the chambers of commerce have COM
planned of this unfair competition. The
act is very sweeping in its provisions
and dprescribes these things as unfair com

REASON FOR ALARM
European Economists Find 1t
in Increased Sugar
Production
THE UNITED STATES
Afraid We Will Soon Produce
All of That Article Nee
essary.

WASHINGTON, Feb-2.-The European
economists are alarmed ut the. prospect
that the United States, the greatest su-
gar country in the world and always re-
lied upon to absorb the surplus European
product, will at no distant date produce
all of it's own sugar. Frank Mason,
United States consul general at Frank
fort, Germany, has submitted to the
state department special report upon
American competition in sugar produc-
tions, which is full of interesting statis-
tics upon the subject. Among other
things he shows that the crop of beet
root sugar last year exceeded by ,760, 600
tons the production of the preceding
year. The production Of cane sugar has
doubled in the past 90 years, while that
of beet sugar has. trebled.
Possibilities of Production.
Careful examination of the possibili-
ties of beet sugar production in the
United States have been made by Euro
pean correspondents, which show that
California and the more southerly and
westerly states enjoy decided natural
advantages over all the best producing
countries of Europe. -Four elements
enter into the competition, climate, cost
and fertility of land, cost of labor and
the effective economy of the machinery
and methods Of cultivation and
sugar manufacture. In all but one,
cost Of labor, the United States has the
advantage An English correspondent
shows that whereas beet growing in
Germany, notwithstanding the cheap
ness Of labor, costs on an average 800. 80
per acre; in California, in spite Of high
wages, the net cost does not exceed $17. 90
per acre, a difference of $3S.O7 in favor
of the Pacific coast. Land is also cheaper
and the, California farmer works rich
virgin soil, while his German rival is re-
stricted to old, worn out lands, which
must be sustained by the constant nse Of
fertilizers. These facts have, ~ Mr..
Mason shows, awakened the apprehen-
sion among European economists, and
sugar producers have greatly depressed
the movement in England TO plant beets
instead OF wheat.

SEEKS SATISFACTION
Encounter on the Floor of the
House Between Breckin-
ridge and Heard.
THEIR SOUTHERN BLOOD UP
Liar" and "ScoundreI" i'm the
Lead as Epithets Breckln-
ridge Wants Blood.

: WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-There was a
most exciting scene in the house Of rep
resentatives when representative Breck-
inridge of Kentucky and Representative
Heard of Missouri came to blows in the
center aisle, in the middle of the hall.
Representative Heard, who is chair
man Of the committee on the District Of
Columbia, became angered. because the
Hawaiian question was being brought
forward in the time devoted to his COM
mittee, and attempted to secure the
floor. The beginning of tine controversy
was not plain, but suddenly both MEM
bers sprang toward each other, Mr..
Breckenridge shouting:
"You cur, scoundrel and liar" strik-
ing at the member from Missouri a
fierce blow, which missed him.
Instantly they We're seized by other
members, but struggled fiercely to get
at each other, shouting e'liar.''
Had Breckinridge by the Throat.
Mr. Pence of Colorado had Mr.. Breck-
inridge by the throat. and Mr.. Nc
Creary of Kentucky climbed over sew
eral seats and held him by the shoulder.
For three or four minutes there was
wild scrambling, resembling a football
rush, while all the members in the
house poured into the aisle and the
greatest confusion reigned. The pound
ing of the speakers gavel could not be
heard, but Mr.. Crisp's voice rang above
the tumult shouting:
The sergeant-at-ar will arrest the
members"
And then, sthe sergeant -at-arms win
bring them before the bar of the house"
Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Isaac Hill
rushed down the aisle bearing the great
mace, followed by his assistants.
The two members were then brought
up before the speakers desk, two men
ON each side holding their arms and
Representative Doclery Of Missouri
standing behind them. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge was exceedingly red i'm the face,
while Mr.. Heard, who is a slender man,
was ashen pale and trembled like leaf.
Challenged Heard.
In the course Of an explanation to the
house, Mr. Breckinridge practically
challenged Mr.. Heard and demanded
personal satisfaction. Both Heard and
Breckinridge were forced to apologize to
the house.
Expulsion proceedings are unlikely.

Moee BONDS SOON.
Assistant Secretary Cnrtis Copfers with
Leading New York Bankers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-Asssistant Sec-
retary Of the Treasury William E. Cur
tis reached the sub treasury shortly after
III o'clock and had d conference with
representatives Of the leading foreign
banking houses in this city. At 2:20
o'clock Mr.. Curtis left the ub-treasury
by rear door, thus avoiding the re-
porters, who had not been able to obtain
access to him at any time during the
day. After the assistant secretary had
gone Sub Treasurer Jordan accorded the
reporters Of the Associated Press an in
terview. He said.
"Mr. Curtis came on from Washing
ton as representative of the treasury to
obtain information needed by the de-
partment and he has left for the capi-
tai
With His Mission Accomplished,
but nothing has been sold and nothing
has been bought. He came to discuss
the question of placing government
loan. As to the story of sterling loan
there is nothing in it. -
Mr. Jordan would say nothing further
ON the subject and all further queries
We're met with the statement that he
had nothing more to say.
1t is confidently expected in financial
circles here that new bond Issue will
be announced within a few days and
the amount of the loan is generally esti-
mated at 500, 100000 It's known that
the foreign banking interests have ex-
pressed themselves in favor. of 4 per
cent bond, hence it is believed that long
term fours will be issued at price
which will yield the purchaser 311S per
cent. There is excellent authority for
saying that MIR. Curtis was vested with
authority TO do more than ascertain the
views of the New York bankers.
