Britain's readiness to participate in

AMERICANS PAY TOO MUCH.
Prices Of Paintings Raised BEYOND
Reason.

BERLIN. June lz.-The art critic of
The Vossiche Zetung explains that the
American millionaires have sent up
the prices of paintings to such point
that European collectors are now un-
able to compete with them. The fact
that pictures go 10 the United states
says the critic, does not mean their
loss 10 the world as European art
lists often assert and many of the
older American collectors often show
ed genuine appreciation and under
standing of art, Quincy Shaw rec pg-
nized the merit of the Fontainbleu
school when its pictures could not be
given away in Paris
Mr., Shaw had a larger collection of
that school than all the French col
lections put together, The critic OF
the Vcssische Zeitung also mentions
Henry G, Marquand and Allen Mar
quand of New York and Mrs. Gard
ner nf R0ston as discriminating pic
ture collectors. He deplores. however,
the invasion of the art field by the
younger generation Of American mill
lionaires, who, he declares, to be with
out real artistic appreciation, saying
they make II possible for picture deal
ers to increase the prices Of pictures
tenfold and thus shut out European
buyers.

the Telegram from Gervais says:
Two men were matched against 20C
and the two won.
In these 10 words is summarized the
story of last nights developments.
Tracey and Merrill have escaped.
At o'clock this morning Charles

rounding the woods near here. where
| in Tracey and Merrill were hidden,
decided that il would be a good idea
to move back from the place where
he was stationed to a more COM
manding position 80 yards away.
| He did so, and had scarcely taken
| up his new station when one OF the
convicts climbed over the fence at the
exact spot Tuh had left Tuh was
armed with shotgun, loaded with
buckshot. He fired at the outlaw
and missed. fired again, missed, re-
loaded and fired TWO more shots, all
without effect.
While this was happening the other
convict climbed over the fence at
point 100 yards or more away No
guard was near enough to him to be
able to shoot him.
The two fugitives ran rapidly out
to the center of the wheat field ad-
joining their hiding place, Joined each
other and proceeded on their way to-
gether.
Nobody followed thent.
This morning the militia and the
posse returned to Gervais. They were
soon informed that Tracey and Mer-
rill had taken breakfast near Monitor,
and despite the fact that the hunters
We're weary they set out at once for
that place.
Governor Geer arrived here on the
late afternoon train TO see tret ac-
commodations for the militia were
satisfactory, He returned on the
night train with number of other
citizens of Salem.
The governor was on the firing line
during his brief visit

all night, myself, If had a gum" de-
clared the governor A search was
made for a weapon. but
the only two guns in town at the
time were previously engaged.

killed There were two bullet holes
in the glass door of his sentry box
yet neither of these bullets could
have touched him. The fatal bullet
was evidently sent at him through

tonight are still al large, somewhere

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 22.-To-day's stock
market was not up to the recent level
of Activity, the total dealings falling
considerably below the million-share
mark. This was practically the only
effect apparent from the doubts aroused
by the current outward movement Of
gold. The speculative forces recently
at work continued operations on a
large scale, although shifting the field
of their operations to new quarters.
The Eastern railroad stocks led by New
York Central were the feature OF the
market, the Reading stocks being in
cluded in the movement. The buying
was by the brokers usually employed
of late by the Western contingent in
IT'S large operations. The ostensible
basis of the buying was the rumor of
new and comprehensive agreement
amongst the railroad powers in the
Eastern. territory, including the Penn
sylvania Railroad, the Vanderbilts and
Mr.. Morgan. With the addition Of
striking gains by miscellaneous group
of stocks, the market made fair show
Of strength. The grain carriers were
inclined to heaviness early, owing to
the reports of showers in the Western
states, but they stiffened up afterwards
apparently under the influence of The
violent rise in Rock Island, which ad-
vanced more than points, and then
collapsed, with a final recovery to
about points over last night. The
strength Of Amalgamated Copper was
attributed TO the securing OF an fr-
junction against the working Of dis
puted mine by rival. A number of
other industrials rose strongly without
explanation. 1t was noticeable, how

ever, that there were neglected and
heavy stocks all through . the list.
There is much puzzled conjecture as
to the limits likely to be reached by
the outward movement of gold. Ten
tative arrangements for the export of
another million dollars this week were
made to-day. The continued selling
of stocks here for London account ia
cilitated the arrangement. 1t has been
supposed that additional credits abroad
sufficient to prevent gold exports could
be easily procured, pending the fall ex-
ports of grain and cotton, notwith-
standing the heavy foreign indebted
ness known to have been extended as
a result of last years shortage OF our
grain exports. The disappointment of
these expectations seems to be due to
the forced liquidation in London of
speculative accounts in South Africans,
for which the public demand is said
to be disappointingly small. Part of
this liquidation comes from Paris, and
is supplemented by realizing on Amer
lean securities, which are thrown upon
the New York market by arbitrage
sales, owing to the advancing tenden-
cy of prices here.
Some of the convertible bonds were
active to-day in sympathy with the
movements in their relative stocks,
but the general bond market was rather
dull and irregular. Total sales, par

New Orleans, July 22.-Liverpool adj
vices were unfavorable and especially
weak on the near months, consequent
ly our market in sympathy opened to
IA lower on these positions and 8 to
on the latter ones. Subsequently an
improvement of 2. to was established,
but this was only momentarily, as val
ues again eased off onkanticipation of
a favorable weekly weather report.
When the document was issued, al
though it was on the whole as good as
could be expected it did not come up
to the views of some operators and
fresh buying by them occasioned a
steadier feeling. making the loss s
points on July, IL on August, 6 on Sep
TENDER and the other months were
practically unchanged.
The summary of the weekly weather
report was as follows:
Although generally improved in
conditions, cotton continues to suffer
from drought in portions of the Caro-
lifas over the north central portions
of the cotton belt and in extreme
northwestern and southwestern Tex
as. In much the greater part of the
last mentioned state the crop is nor
mally developed and is heavily fruited
with ample moisture for present needs.
A material development is noted in
portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama, and the crop continues in
general promising condition in Geor-
gia Over much the greater part of
the central and western districts the
plant continues small and blooming to
the top is extensively reported
During the past twenty-four hours
good rains fell in south and southwest
Texas where needed and beneficial
showers also occurred in the Atlantics.
Showers are predicted tonight and
Wednesday over Texas, southern
Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and
Western Florida and generally fair
elsewhere. Gables received to-day from
Liverpool claim that Manchester spin
ners will not resort to short time.
From all indications, the probability
is there will be a liberal movement of
new cotton during August. The de-
mand for spots and manipulation will
continue to regulate values on near
months, whereas the later options will
be ruled entirely by the crop outlook.
