CHAMP CLARK IS
 NOT A CANDIDATE

Wilkesbarre, August 6.-(Special)-In letter to Editor Percy Faust of the Weatherly Herald. Champ Clark, speaker of the House of Representatives, declared he is not a candidate for presidential honors. He says in part:
 T want to thank you for the things you have said about me in connection with the presidential nomination and otherwise. While I am. not candidate for President, and man never be, l con slider it a great compliment to be thought of or mentioned in that high connection by my fellow citizens.
 My duty Is here helping the House to make good, as I am going to stay here as long as there is anything here for me to do. In other words, I am not going to neglect the work here In order to run around the country after another or flee.
 'I regard the record we are making in our democratic House as superb. We are busy carrying out our promises to the people. and we will continue on that line I believe the work of this House will result in our controlling them all after the next election

GERMAN KAISER
 IS CRITICIZED

Berlin, August 6-(Special.) )-The gov
 ernment's formal announcement Friday night that Germany and France virtually
 had agreed on basis of settlement Tn
 the Moroccan controversy has been re-
 ceived with cynical suspicion and reserve
 by a large part of the public and with
 open anger by the nationalists. mel
 dentally 1t has loosed a storm Of bitter
 comment directed at the heads Of the
 government. The Kaiser himself does
 not escape criticism, rivaling in virulence
 that which followed his famous London
 Telegraph interview
 The inference is drawn that an agree ment could have been reached only by Germany receding from its original de- mands. A large and influential part or the German public has been insisting that no settlement would suffice which did not give the fatherland slice of Moroccan territory Any other result, 1t was de- clared, would be not only profound dis | appointment, but blow to Germany s prestige.
 | The liberal press welcomes the prospect | of a settlement. It points out that the | terms may be found to contain ample compensation for Germany but 1t can or fer no positive assurances.

REPORTS ARE GOOD
 FROM STEEL TRADE
Big Rail Contracts Distrib- uted Among Southern
 and Eastern Mills

New York August 6.-Encoura gins reports continue to come from the steel trade, but merchant blast furnace in- terests are still under depression. Sales of pig iron in all districts last week were only little more than single days out-turn of steel ingots by the Steel corporation. The only new ih- auiry worthy of note in steel-making pig iron was for 10000 tons of basic for the Scullin- Gallagher company oi St. Louis for shipment for the first half of 1912.
 In foundry trade the only important contract pending is for 12,000 tons for the Anegheney and Cleveland works of the Westinghouse Electric and Man ufacturing company for delivery during quarter of 1912 Total sales in all dis tricts were scarcely 5o,o0o tons.
 The Kokomo Steel and Wire company Is about to contract for its semi-annuai supply of steel billets for rolling into wire rods. It's last purchase was 4o'- 900 tons from the Pennsylvania com pany, the present inquiry is for about the same tonnage.
 In finished lines current orders Tor miscellaneous products were well sus- tained and well distributed. The re- cent rail order for Canada was urgent and stipulated shipments at the rate or 1000 tons per day for month. Rali contract for about 10000 tons for the Southern railway being distributed among southern and eastern mills.
 Concessions in prices of steel plates were followed by the placing or some larger orders for gas tanks and marine work Prices for wire products ana galvanized sheets were also shaded, but there was less price cutting on sort steel bars. One interesting feature was the placing of orders for 95 miles of line pipe. Although contracts for fabricated steel wire for only 20,0O0 tons, some large projects are calling for 75.000 to 100000 tons, including II ,000 tons for the Barr building at St. Louis and 5000 tons for the Field museum of Chicago. Bids for the Al legheny river bridge 1000 tons go in August II.

Southeastern Has
 Some Hard Hitters

Rome, Ga, August B. Special )-- There are now only Il players batting above the 300 mark in the Southeast ern lea gue. Although the Romans have not a single man swatting above the coveted mark. they have more men than any other team in the league stinging the pill above .25O. Decatur leads in the number of men swinging the stick above 300.
 Chancey, the hitting demon from Sel- ma. is leading the league logically with a percentage of 1889. Tompkins has only participated in II games and his mark of 1891 can hardly be counted in ranking the swatters Chancey is close ly pursued by Wasem of Anniston, who many predict will pass the Selma boy.
 Long of Gadsden leads in the number of Runs. His closest opponent is Jus tus of Rome. Long only lacks one having as many hits as Chancey Fol lowing are the batting averages for the players who participated in 10 or more games and have batted .26O and better for the games up to and includ- ing Wednesday, August 2:

DRY GOODS MARKET
 AWAITS STIMULUS Mills and Selling Agents Await Readjustments On
 the Crop Prospects

New York, August 6.-Jobbers of cot ton goods still are pursuing a hand-to- mouth policy of purchasing. Selling agents are not prepared to name prices for future delivery based upon exchange quotations for cotton. Curtailment of the mill output is increasing as the close of the cotton year approaches. Notices post ed in the Fall River iron works mills have stated that the plant will be closed indefinitely, beginning August 19, many Of the largest New England and southern cotton mills will be closed until after Labor Day. Retailers who have been in the market have been buying eonserva- lively. The light stocks at the mills and in buyers hands continues as an impor- tant feature of the situation. The ad- justment is now dependent upon crop prospects to a great extent and both mills and selling agents are disposed to wait. as buyers are waiting. Trading was better at the end of the week than at the opening, and the impression is gaining ground that the cloth prices will not show the proportionate decrease that has been seen in cotton values.
 Prices are irregular and have shown a downward tendency on print cloth yarn numbers, but have held fairly steady on coarse goods. uotations are nominal; print cloths 2S-inch, 64x64s, 35sc: 64x6os, 3iac; $-inch, 64x64s, 5@5lsc; southern standard sheetings, Sc; denims, ounce. l3s4c: ticking, S-ounce, 131hc; standard staple prints, 5Rc; standard staple ging- hams, 1c; dress ginghams 9atc

 Chancey Passes 100 Mark
 In the game here last Saturday. Chaneey of Selma, who is racing with Wasem of Anniston both men being left gardeners, for the batting honors of the league, got his one hundredth nit of the season. This was secured on fluke. but before the game was over he damned out another which was clean beyond a doubt. as a re- suit of which he was wired congratula- tions by the Selma fans, the message being delivered to him on the field. He also made Selma's lone run Saturday and recovered a grass cutter down the third base line, throwing Woodward out in .he ninth inning at second base. Both Chancey and Wasem were batting 400 at the first of the season, and their race has been close ever since.

PAPKE SAYS SALT
 IS MISSED ABROAD

Chicago, August 6.-Willie Papke. claim ant of the middeweight title, who is in New York, ready to begin training for his match with Sailor Burke this month, has a theory to account for the surpris- ingly poor showing which some Amerl- can fighters have made abroad. As Papke himself is one of the pugilists in ques- tion, he speaks feelingly on the sub ject.
 "The trouble is with the food" said he. For a long time I did not know what was the matter with it. It did not taste right and l seemed to be running down. Finally l discovered that there was not enough salt in it. In Austra- lia the cooking Is not good and the food lacks salt
 T believe that with a fighter salt is very necessary. A long course of diet on fresh foods that are not properly seasoned as far as salt is concerned, re- suits in depletion of the salts in the body, which are very necessary to the ath- lete"
