GERMANY SORE
At PATENT Law
NEW BRITISH LEGISLATION
AROUsEs FOREIGN COUNTRIES
is GOOD FOR BRITAIN.

LONDON, July 2S.-Many Ameri-
can and German manufacturers are
hard hit by the new British patent law,
which became fully effective today.
The law requires foreigners who OBJ
tain patents from the British govern
ment to manufacture their goods on
British SOIL AS a result of the act,
many German and American firms are
either opening factories in Great Brit
ain or are overcoming the difficulty
by means of royalty agreements with
British manufacturers
The law is hitting the Germans
so hard that the union of industrialists
ment to adopt retaliatory measures
Several English authorities are con-
vinced that the law will confer greater
commercial and industrial benefits on
Great Britain than any law that has
been passed In the last half century. IL
has already resulted in the employ
ment of many thousand British work
people and the introduction of an enor-
NOUS amount of capital from foreign
countries.
1t appears not improbable that the
recent prophecy of Sir Alfred Jones
to the effect that the new law will
cause the investment of $125, 200, 900 OF
foreign-largely German-capital in
manufacturers in this country will be
fully realized. Already a large mum
ber Of foreign firms have secured fac
tory sites. Over 10000 British patents
have been granted to foreigners with
in the last three years, and not one OF
tae processes for which the patents
were taken out has been carried on to
any great extent in the United King
dom.

There was world of announcement
from the orators and an unanimity of
sentiment that the fall fight in this
state must be waged for Bryan with
state and county issues trailing. in
stead of attempting a bushwhacking
campaign for local jobs.
Some Of the claims that were made
by democratic orators were those by
Chairman George P. Wright that the
party would carry the state for Bryan;
one by H. d. Merritt of Spokane, that
his county would give the national and
state tickets majority and elect the
county nominees; a statement from
John Pattison that Whitman county
would go democratic by 200, and a
contention advanced by Jack Splawn
that if individual, organized effort were
put forward the democrats would win.
w. H. Kneeland, of Olympia insisted
that the majority of the people of this
state were democratic at heart. but
addicted to band-wagon proclivities
and followed the republican nominees
because they wanted jobs or prestige

Not a Single Carload Sold Dur
ing First Hour of
Trading
GOOD HOGS SLIGHTLY HIGHER
Other Kinds, However, Were Weak,
Trading in That Market Being Rather
Quiet, and Receipts Sufficient to Sup
ply All Demands-sheep Demand
Tame, But Prices About Steady.

Chicago, Sept 17.--Cattle were slow
and weak Very little business was
transacted. not a single car load being
sold in the first hour
Farmers and cattle feeders realize
that this a good time to get stockers
and feeders worth the money. They
are cheap, compared with the way
choice prime steers are selling, but still
the country is not taking very kindly
to them. for the reason that feed Is
high and pastures are burned as brown
as a breakfast wheat cake. Many are
hesitating about putting cattle in till!
they can see a better prospect of get
ting feed at reasonable rates. Prospects
are discouraging now. Stockmen who
have been here this week from centra!
Illinois report that less than twenty
five per cent of the steers are going on
feed as last year at this time. There
may be rush for them later. but the
general opinion is that feeding opera
tions will be very much contracted all
over the corn belt.
Hogs.
Good animals sold at slightly higher
figures, but other kinds were weak.
Trading was rather quiet Receipts
were sufficient to supply all demands.
Farmers who have hogs to sell are
not complaining much about the mar
ket now. They are we'll pleased with
prices which are the highest in over
five years. For that matter, hogs have
been high for a long time, and it GER
tainly looks as if the time has come
when there will be no more cheap hogs
like in 1896. when good ones We're sell
ing at 1895 and the bulk for Septem-
Der of that year made an average of
$3.50. Looks different now, don't it?
The rapid falling off in receipts since
the first day of July is a pretty good
indication that there are not as many
hogs in the country as usual High
price of corn naturally discouraged pro-
duction, but now that prices are get
ting up to a dizzy limit hog raising
will again be stimulated. and probably
next year there will be another liberal
cron of swine. Hogs are not going to
be cheap again. that's cinch, and the
man who raises them will be pretty
sure of a good investment
Demand was tame, at nominally
prices.
No trades in feeding lambs on the
western breeding ground have yet been
made. A year ago filing material for
most Colorado feed lots had already
been contracted at prices that rendered
profit on the finishing operation impos-
sible, as was demonstrated when the
stuff went to market. At present Col
orado is not even nibbling. That the
northern feeding ground of that state
will not send as much fat mutton to
eastern markets next winter is a GER
tainty 1t is equally certain that more
cattle will be pulp-fed. Perhaps 1T will
be as we'll for Colorado not to carry all
its eggs in one receptacle. Kansas and
Nebraska are apparently in the same
humor as Colorado, having made no
contracts to date.

by margin which may be SO small as
to make effective work difficult.
Further, there is a growing belief in
this part of the country that the polit-
ical complexion of the next house will
not necessarily determine the course
Of legislation, regardless of who occu-
pies the White House. This is the
opinion Of as good judge of politics
as Wilbur f. Waterman, secretary of
the American Protective Tariff league,
who, in an open letter. recently pub
lished. says there are twenty-five re-
publican senators who would join in a
revision of the tariff, even should a
tariff bill be prepared by a democrat
lie house in response to the urgings of a
democratic president. Mr.. Wakeman Is
the editor of the Economist. the official
organ of the republican standpatters.
That paper in a recent Issue says that
il the next house should be republic
an by small margin, there would be
enough reform republicans to join with
the democrats In the passage OF a
genuine revision bill.
Will Be More Radicals.
Atop of all these considerations. 1t
is pointed out that the next congress
will, in both houses. contain a larger
number than heretofore of reform re-
publicans, men who will come to the
capitol pledged to stand by, the poll
cies which their constituents support.
These policies, to some degree, are sup
ported by both the great parties;
whence the conclusion in this city that
Mr.. Bryan. as president, would be able
to secure important legislation, even
with hostile senate, and a very small
majority, or even none at all. in the
house.
What such an opinion as the foregp-
ing may be worth only the future can
determine. Washington takes it's poll
ties rather good naturally, and with
less of that bitter, binding PARTISAN
ship which characterizes most other
sections of the country. 1t is therefore
in position to see somewhat more
clearly than those sections, and to be
somewhat more disinterested. But at
that, it is frequently wrong, and so it
may be in this instance.
