WHY Quotations GO down.
Americans Thought European Cap
ital Would Follow Their Lead.
so SAYS LORD RoTHSCHILD.

London. June 15.-Lord Rothschild
was interviewed by an American Press
correspondent on the financial situa-
ton in America. He said:
''When an American wants to sell
stocks he has got into the habit of
sending his order here. There is abso-
lutely no feeling of distrust over con-
ditions in America. L would say that
the fnancicrs here are making what
you would call dead set against
American securities. What do think
of the future? Wei, the best answer
can give you is this" and Lord
Rofhschild handed over stock ticket
showing that he had Just purchased
500 shares of an American railway.
''That, OF course. is only drop in
the bucket. but 1 may tell you that one
of the wealthiest capitalists l know
yesterday invested COCO, 900 in American
securities and he has put another 200. =
600 pounds into them again this morn
ing.
THAT sounds large, but it is nothing
compared with the selling orders that
come here from New York. With such
a period as this the transactions of
even the largest investors had small
effect upon the market"
Lord Rothschild's explanation of the
recent serious shrinltage in values is
this:
''Speyers went into street railways.
Yerl1es came over here to electrophy
the underground; Morgan bought
British securities, aud am told Schwab
went in largely for British industrials.
They all thought that British or Euro
pean investors would take large share
III these European enterprises because
they did. The result is that some of
the largest capitalists in America have
been obliged to provide capital for
their undertakings nero. Under such
circumstances quotations were bound

A well-known manufacturers agent
of New York City visited the grocery
department of one of the big New

tasted a sample cup of Postum made
the right way. He said afterwards :
"Just through the energy of that young

ALL KANSAS is INTERESTED.
A Single Case illustrates Almost Every
Contention.

Kansas City, NO., June 13.-All Kan
sas will be interested in the findings
of special committee which was APP
pointed by the board of trade to try
and find basis of settlement for the
flood losses. Reports have been made
TO the railroads of 700 cars of wheat
and corn. The hay. grain and feed
stuff men have sent in reports for 500
cars consigned to them. The board Of
trade committee is to be made up of
three receivers, three buyers and three
representatives of the railroads. The
grain men are trying to discover who
it is must stand the loss of from $780,
600 to $500, 900 which the flood has in
ficted on them or their clients
Kansas banks will hear from the
floods with Il vengeance. It appears
that there is such thing as Il claw of
agents, and that the courts all over
the United States nave defined it and
agreed upon Il common Interpretation.
This law of agents is to be looked
up and published for the benefit of the
Kansas grain men and the millers and
elevator men who do business with
Kansas. The following instance is
said TO illustrate almost every conten-
ton now being raised; it was given by
a member of the board of trade direc-
tory:
''One of our members received bill
of lading two weeks ago for a car of
wheat, attached to draft He paid
draft, took up the bill of lading and
afierward paid the freight on the ship
ment. Then came the food and three
days ago he learned that the wheat
was ruined. Immediately the board
of trade man drew back on the grain
shipper for not only the face of the
shippers original draft, but also for
the amount of the freight bill he had
paid. He was notified by the shipper
that inc draft had been dishonored and
that the shipper would look to the
board of trade man for pay for his
wheat. There you have our 700 fights
over here in a nut she'll"

Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
