Small Majority for Works.
Works is reelected senator by a very
small majority. He runs under the
wire with majority of less than
forty. The senator has no license to
hnrrah. His victory is not one that
he has Alright to crow over.
Crowd Read Election Returns.
The election returns were thrown up
on a canvass opposite the Free Press
office last evening by this paper, and
were watched until late hour by az
interested crowd, anxious to get the
latest. Owing to the polls in cities
not closing until nine o'clock, returns
from this state were slow in coming
in, but enough were received from
elsewhere to keep the interest up. The
few returns favorable to the republicans
were cheered, but as the news became
more dispiriting, from all over the
country, the cheering died away. Gov.
ernor Eberhart's election was about the
only bright star in an otherwise cloud
ed sky. The special edition issued by
The Free Press this morning was
greatly appreciated by subscribers.

last the lowly worm, long the syno-
nym for everything that is vile and
mean, has turned, and 4 great eXposi
ton has been reared in its honor
Paterson, the silk city" today don
ned its gala attire and paid Joyous
tribute to the tiny silk worm which
is the basis of its industrial wealth.
The big exposition opened today COM
memorates the centennial of the begin
ming of the silk industry in this coun-
try. 1t was just century ago that
the first power plant for the manu-
factme of silk fabrics was established
the greatest silk center of the western
hemisphere. The displays at The expo
sition Illustrate this progress and dem
onstrate the evolution OF silk from the
cocoon to the dainty fabric which de-
lights the eyes and heart of Aiilady.
Clean Bill of Health for Town
The exposition and celebration has
another purpose, which is to prove to
the world that Paterson is clean,
law-abidng and moral city of intelli-
gent and patriotic people, and not the
'hotbcd of anarchy and crime" which
it has often been asserted to be by
sensationalists. 1t is asserted that
Paterson has practically no anarchists,
and that the colony OF reds supposed
TO be located here exists only in the
imagination OF yellow newspaper writ
ers. An interesting historical feature
of the exposition is reproduction of

TAssociated Pressl

NEW YORK, July 21.-Until the re-
duction in the dividend on National
lead was announced the stock market
today was a humdrum affair. The
news of this action created some spec
ulative excitement and it's influence
was reinforced by the wholly unsup-
ported state for the stock in the
market. Sales of 100 share lots could
be effected only at rapid concessions
of to 11s points between sales. Clos
ing last night at SO 3-S the stock sold
as low as So. Such a violent and
abrupt shrinkage in market valuation
even of single security was bound
to precipitate some protective liqui-
dation in other stocks. The effect on
speculative sentiment and on the stock
market position was enhanced by the
use made for two days of vaguely de-
fined rumors of steps looking to bet
ter the copper trade position to push
up the price of the metal industrials.
The advanced price of National Lead
preferred in face of the Generalization
In the common stock was a commen-
tary on the increased benefit of con-
serving earnings for the senior secur-
ity. The simple explanation of diff
ferent reduced dividends was that
business and earnings dld not warrant
the maintenance Of the higher rate.
The concrete example thus offered of
the consequences of lessened trade ac-
tivity to profits of business made a
sharply depressing influence on spec
ulative sentiment. Solicitude was al
ready making itself felt for the show
ing to be made by the United States
Steel corporation in its quarterly state
ment of earnings to be published next

Copper dividend was not announced
until after the close of the market,
but last prices showed some recovery,
The earlier feeble influences in the
market dropped out of sight in the
excitement which followed the Nation
al Lead dividend action.
The action of the wheat and cotton
markets revived uneasiness over the
crop prospects and the effect of the
later easing of the wheat market was
lost In the general weakness of stocks.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Wheat opened higher,
but except for May delivery has not seen as
good as early high prices since. Nevertheless
it finally responded materially to the big bulge
in corn. The latter. in fact was apparently
the salvation of the wheat market today, i'm
parting some life and strength to it after it
cause of the opening bulge was the continued
dry weather northwest and higher prices in
Europe. Northwest furnished more crop news
of the same sensational sort as heretofore.
One of the leading Canadian commercial
authorities said the wheat crop is going back
daily the situation nearing a calamity. This
news failed to thrill the trade as when 1t was
first received some time ago, but nevertheless
had more or less effect.
Ultimately corn proved the speculative leader
of the entire list. Trade reached enormous pro-
portions and the advance was important.
Shorts of every sort were forced to cover, the
longs, after securing ammunition by early
sales hurrying the covering along by bidding
for increasingly scanty offerings. One of the
larger longs sold corn steadily all the way up
today. the shorts taking the property eagerly.
Among the shorts were larger spectators here
and east, and many houses with country con-
nections. Dry weather was the only material
basis for today's big bulge. Claims were
heard of damage in prospect west OF the Mis-
sissippi river with some actually done in the
southwest Cash grain concerns almost in
variably reported fine crop prospects in this
state and Iowa, as well as other territory heard
from directly
Oats sympathized with corn. Early there
were rather heavy hedging sales, but they were
absorbed by commission houses and some was
bought by the corn bulls, and shorts then COW
cred freely making the high prices. Crop ad-
vices keep excellent. Harvest rapidly advanc-
ing northward.
Provisions ranged higher, principally on out
side investment call and on covering by local
shorts. Packers were apparently divided in
their attitude on the market, which proved
puzzling to some Of the dealers in the pit.
