things is still the exception. There is
better business in shoes and small in

ing OF short sellers in cotton. But the
general tendency of industries and
prices is not encouraging and those who
were most hopeful a month ago are still
waiting. Bad weather has cut of much
business. especially in country districts.
The root of the business is that in
many departments men bought more
and produced more. when prices were
mounting and everybody was rushing
to buy last year. than they have yet
been able To SELL The iron industry
shows but a light average decline i'm

the highest prices of last year. and the
demand is naturally curtailed. Quota

Sir Charles Dixie considered that the
reasons Chamberlain advanced were
trivial. and that no evidence had yet
been submitted to the house that JUS

parliamentary secretary Of the foreign
Office said: The present expedition Is
inseparably connected with the work
