CLARK BLAMED By BRYAN.
Comm oner Accuses Speaker of Defeat
ing Reciprocity Treaty,

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2s.-Depioring
the defeat OF Canadian reciprocity, de-
claring it was largely a result of the
annexation bogy, and putting the blame
on Champ Clark, William Jennings
Bryan discusses the outcome Of the
forthcoming issue of his Commoner. He
writes:
Speaker Clark's declaration in IA
vor of annexation was an indiscreet
utterance for one occupying a position
Of authority and had much to do with
the result because Of the use made of
it,
Mr.. Bryan is OF the opinion that it
was unfortunate anyway that reciproc-
ity was brought forward First, be-
cause it gave protectionists of Canada
a chance to appeal to anti-American
prejudice. Second, because it turned
attention away from the real reason for
tariff reduction and laid emphasis up
on the idea that the tariff tax hurts
the foreigner instead Of the consumer
at home
THE democrats favored the Taft
Laurier agreement because it made a
beginning at tariff reduction he says.
Now that 1t has been rejected it is the
part OF wisdom to proceed with tariff
reduction for the benefit Of our own
people without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation. few
American papers were unwise enough
to advocate annexation. Some may
have done SO with the hope of defeat
ing reciprocity, and all such editorials

LOWER SUGAR PRICES NEAR.
Wholesalers Put Price Down From

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-Hope of lower

consumer in reduction yesterday of

This decline follows the approach of
conditions more nearly normal in the
New York market. The scarcity of raws
is practically over and refners are be-
ginning to catch up with their orders
altho still several weeks behind in most
cases.
With the inceming of raws from this

matters that the future must work out.

MAKING THE DIRT FLY.
Only ons-Fourth Of Panama Canal Re-
mains to Be Ekeevatsd.
Especial Correspondence. ]

Washington. Sept. 2s.-New esti-
mates on the excavation Of the panama
canal have been made public by the
Isthmian canal commission. These esti-
mates are materially higher than those
of July, 1910. The total increase over
the estimates OF that date amounts to
l2.7s5.s1s cubic yards, raising the total
estimated excavation for the entire
canal to 195.323,379 cubic yards.
T The chief reason for this increase in
the estimates is found In the huge
slide. in the Culebra cut. These slides
present the most embarras sing prob
lem with which the engineers have to
deal 1t is stated officially that these
increased estimates will not increase
the estimated cost, as determined In
December, 1908, nor affect the time of
completion, because the cost per cubic
yard has decreased and the capacity
per excavating unit has increased, as
the work has advanced.
At the same time. it is apparent that
the task of having to excavate this
enormous mass of material delays the
time Of completion OF the canal beyond
Fthe time when it otherwise would be
finished. The statement that the In
creased excavation will not delay com
pletion merely means that in making
the original estimates for finishing the
calai, in the year 1915. ample allowance
was made for just such hindranres as
the present one. BY reason Of the slides
in the Culebra cut about 5,000.008 cubic
yards have been added to the esti-
mates.
The latest figures on excavation show
tl1et 14s.192.I5s cubic yards have been
removed and that less than fourth Of
the canal or 47,13O.s20 yards remain to
be excavated. At the present rate OF
excavation. about one year and a half
more should suffice to get all the dirt
removed
One of the interesting phases Of the
work OF construction relates to the
enormous quantities OF dynamite re-
quired. 1t is estimated that about 15.-
00O, 900 pounds Of dynamite remain to
be unloaded before the canal II COM
pleted. To promote safety, . new dock
for the unloading Of dynamite II being
established on the Atlantic side come
distance from Colon and Cristobal.
It is feared that II unloading 10 con-
tinued at the present docks shipping II
Colon harbcr and the localities Of
Colon and Cristobal might be damaged.
No explosion has occurred, however,
since the first shipment arrived seven
years ago. s .s i:sss,

Cattle.
Cattle prices were strong on good
sorts. Choice steers were higher than
at the close OF last week.
Everything points to scarcity of
cattle of all ages and conditions. Breed
ers are reducing their herds and feed
ers are not disposed to replenish their
feed lots. Looks like a good time to
n a in htS -
unless all the beef eaters are going to
strike
Several factors additional to larger
marketings of she stock, have been at
work in the downfall of values. good
many low priced western steers and
short-fed natives, as well as consid-
cradle showing of branded grass she
stock, have helped relieve packers from
the necessity of absorbing any great
quantity Of native cows and heifers at
recent relatively good rates. Further,
general trade requirements have hard
ly been normal, as demand for kosher
cows has had a wet blanket put upon
it by weekend Jewish holidays and
outlet for beef has also been curtailed
by heavy liquidation of medium and
low priced steers in the east from
Pennsylvania, Virginia and other east
ern and southeastern sections.
Prevailing prices are lowest since
late in June and s1.00@i.25 off from
best prices last month. The top We'd
nesday at s6.75 is within 70 cents of
lowest top OF the year and s1.55 below

eral opinion with buyers that values
