Hay and Feedstun.

Hay continues very sensitive. and prices are
which daily increasing. the hay is being
rushed in fast as possible to get the benefit
Of the current high prices. Rolled barley has
advanced.
The circular OF Scott & AIagner says Of hav.
a large proportion Of the daily arrivals CON
sists of the new crop and. the hay is ar-
riving in good condition and shows good quality
it IS being used satisfactorily by the consumers,
here However. this period of the season is
usually dull It * not an exception to fnd a
dull condition prevailing here. as il Is inst
between the old crop and the new and at The
time when all consumers are buying sparin.lv
With the present slack demand and the in,
creased shipment Of bay during the last two
weeks. our market has been adversely affected
has declined in prices and at the present writing,
is weak at our quotations.
The shipments OF old crop hay have cor
tlnued actively conditions would hermit

getting their stocks on hand reduced as quickly

big Crons Needed


Henry Clews of New York says; This coun-
try is CRYING in need OF big crops not only FOR
the purpose of bringing down the cost OF
living but also of rebuilding our raplely de-
clining export trade. Our foreign trade balance
is still one of the most unsatisfactory features
of the situation. exports continuing light and
imports unusually heavy, the result being fur
ther large gold shipments. Very likely Europe
viii before long be absorbing conslderable
amounts of Forthcoming bond issues. which VIII
afford a better supply of exchange and thus
tend to cheek the outflow of gold 1t is quite
possible that the latter, unless checked, may
continue 10 q harmful degree in the present
htghly Inflated condition of our currency The
present cheapness of money encourages this un-
desirable tendency, and our leading bankers
would gladly welcome hrmer rates Tor money
for reasons of prudence well as OF pront
Bank loans are lowering around the high record,
while reserves of both banks and trust com
panies have been greatly depleted. These ten
dencies suggest hardening in rates sooner than
was at time anticipated. What the effect
of a sudden calling in of loans or the issue
of considerable new securities upon the
stock market would be remains TO be seen. IL
does not seem probable that they would produce
any important reaction under existing satlsfac-
tory conditions but they would at least mod
crate bullish enthusiasm.

J. :. Bache * Co of New Nork say. The
production Of copper is going on at the highest
figure in the history OF the country. namely,
nearly 100000 pounds per day. The exports
for April were the largest, of the year-about
0000O0 pounds per day-nearly double The
amount In February. Delivery to American con
sumers in April was at the rate of Loo, 900
pounds per day-a little less than in March and
a Ittle more tlap in January aud February
Nevertheless. the indications that the con-
sumption of copper in this country is vislbly
the increase; and IL is estimated that the
figures for AIaE should show actual decrease
in the uneon>Jmed surplus of $4,000 000 pounds.
The surplus since the first Of the year has
increased TO the extent Of 60.009 000 pounds, but
the months increase in February was 29.000.100
pounds IN March 100000 pounds and last
moalh only 9lS,000 pounds. This is certainly
sharp drop in increase. The total surplus Of

CHAIRMAN LOVES
ORDER APPROVED
Commissioners Watson sides With
Chapman And Wires McAIester
to Come to Guthrie.

Guthrie Okla, July 27.-The action
of Chairman Jack Love of the cor
poration commission in ordering the
dismissal of w. L. Chapman, secretary
of the commission, has met with OPP
position, Commissioner A. P. Watson
declaring that Chapman had not been
dismissed, as this cannot be accom-
plished except by action of majority
of the commissioners. Love asked
Chapman for his resignation.
Commissioner Watson yesterday
wired Colonel McAlester, the third
member Of the commission, who is at
McAlester, asking him to come to
Guthrie at once. McAlester wired
back that he cannot leave at present
as he has case in the courts of
Pittsburg county If McAlester sides
with Love, Chapman will be discharg-
ed, but if he takes the same view of
the matter as Watson it is likely that
Chapman will remain secretary Of the
commission.
Secretary Chapman declined to
make any statement in regard to the
matter today except to declare that
he has not resigned and that the com
mission has taken no action demand
ing his resignation.
Chairman Love Of the commission
said:
q demanded Chapman's resignation
upon my own notion as chairman Of
the commission. While | don't believe
he has been guilty of any disloyalty
to the commission, he has violated two
rules of the commission"
It was said that J. L. Mills,
attorney for the Iron Mountain rail-
road. when he called upon Chairman
Love to make an explanation regard
ing the Chapman affairs. was not re
ceived.

Committee of Confederate Veterans Arrive in
Kinito and are Taken for Automobile Ride
Over City and to Proposed Sites--ln-
formal Reception GiUen at Commercial
Club Kinita Has Many Induce
ments to Offer.

reception, as well as on the automo-
bile ride, were many of the ladies of
the city, who are taking great inter
est in the probable location Of this
home here.
One of the most favored sites, and
one which the committee seemed to
approve was the Jim little place,
northeast Of town Here it was pro-
posed to give a ten acre tract, on the
hill overlooking the city and many
miles Of the surrounding country. A
more beautiful site for the location
Of the home would be difficult TO find
Vinita probably has more to offer
for the home than any city in the
great southwest. An abundance Of
good pure artesian water and an ad-
mirable climate assure healthful sur
roundings, while the splendid railroad
facilities make this city easy of ac-
cess from all parts Of the country
The committee is being entertained
this afternoon by. the Commercial
club, and definite proposition for
the location of the home here will
be made by that body.
