| The great menace and handicap to the market. aside from the everlasting sense of disappointment, is the fact that banks to the guards with mass of undigested
 bonds. A flood of this class of securities, issued since the first of January, remain undisturbed. The manufacture of bonds and stocks was oyerdone. It looked at the outset as though the public appetite | for them could not be appeased and it was + not until many hundreds of millions of dollars worth had accumulated on the hands of underwriters and wholesale bond dealers that there was an awakening. The stuff is still unsold in great blocks and it hangs over the general situation. It is this which is giving the banking and money combinations more uneasiness than | the decline in stocks Bonds are harder to liquidate than share certificates. The public has never learned to speculate in bonds as in stocks. The stuff has to be showed out over the counters of banks or through the distributing machinery of bond houses through literary effort or canvassing organizations It has been up- | hill work for months and getting harder every day Tt has become impossible to find a market for the new underwriting except at concessions, but usually at prices below the figures at which subscrip- tions were made. Banks and trust com panies have world of money loaned on stocks, but not as much in bulk as on bonds Bankers are not advertising this
 fact, but they admit it in private conver- sations.

BONDS UNDIGESTED
BY w. G. NICHOLAS

New York, August 12.-(Speeial)-S market values have been undergoing harsh readjustment for a matter of three weeks. whether the process is completed | is a question of doubt. The later stages of the shrinkage were marked by precipi- tate breaks and the entire decline has now
 reached a level of to 15 points below the quotations ruling about three weeks ago, The changed conditions were described in these letters before the decline commenced
 and it was set forth with almost prophetic accuracy what has since taken place in
 the market. Stocks had been pulled on a campaign of sunshiny predictions of re- turning prosperity and general revival of activity in every department. Crops
 were to be record-breaking and every body was to jump in and help push the machine along. AS it turned out, every body waited for the other fellow to do the hard work and there ensued period of stagnation. Heroic efforts were made to stir up business and to maintain stocks at the high levels.
 Disappointment over the nonfulfillment of hopes and expectations has been chiefly responsible for the heavy liquidation of se- curties which has been in evidence. Short selling on an extensive scale helped the downward course of prices, but that alone would not have been sufficient to have brought about the shrinkage. On three or four separate occasions wholesale liquida- tions broke through the levels made by speculative selling. The support given by short covering and profit taking for bear account only caused slight rallies,
 followed by renewed selling for long ac- count Foreigners who had loaned heav- ily on American securities started the ball rolling by calling in their money. one

Tic FREE LIST
IS DISAPPR0VED
Bailey Brought About a Vote in Or
der to Expediate Matters
in Senate.

Washington, July 13.-Bailey's free
list amendment to the Canadian reci-
procity bill was defeated in the SEN
ate yesterday by large majority. So
evident was the margin against it
that Bailey did not ask for roll call,
pursuing the policy of forcing the OPP
ponents of reciprocity to proceed
without delay.
Penrose urged Bailey to introduce
his wool tariff amendment immediate
ly which Bailey did, and the senate
adjourned with the amendment pend
ing. 1t is modification of the tar
if wool bill recently passed by the
house, and places all duties on raw,
and manufactured wool on a general
average of thirty per cent.
Consideration of the reciprocity bill
is expected to move rapidly now.
The wool amendment will probably
be disposed of tomorrow. Bristow
and LaFollette are ready with their
amendments and speeches against the
bill
Hepburn, of Idaho, in a speech
against the measure, declared when
vote is taken on the bill all real re-
publicans in the senate will be op-
posed to it, while the semi-democrats
will vote for it, along with the free
simple democrats. Hepburn declared
the reciprocity bill came to congress
wrapped in the flag of pirate.

RESUME LOR!MER
INQUIRY TODAY

Washington, July 13.-The Senate
committee which is. investigating
charges of corruption in the election
of Senator Lorimer of Illinois, resumed
its sittings today. 1t was planned
for members of the committee to go
to Chicago to take testimony, but this
idea was abandoned because of the
fact that none of the senators wished
to be absent from Washington in case
an agreement on Canadian reciprocity
should be reached and their vote re-
quired.
During the sittings up until the first
Of July practically all the new evil
dence which developed after the inves-
tigation of the Senate committee on
Privileges and Elections last year was
gone over, but as there was considera-
BILE contradictory testimony the mem
bers of the committee have been COM
PEELED to summon other witnesses to
get the truth.

JACKSON SECURES
SHRINERS' TEMPLE

Jackson, Miss, July 13.-The Shrin-
ers of Jackson, Central and West Mis-
sissippi are in high feather over the
announcement from the Imperial
Council of the Mystic Shrine, in ses-
sion at Rochester that the long sought
and long deferred charter for the
Temple for the Western Jurisdiction
has been granted. The Temple is
located at Jackson and is called
"Mahabi."
This proposition has been before
the Imperial Council several times
heretofore, but has always encount-
cred opposition of the only other tenn
pie in the state, that at Meridian
principally on the ground that the
proposed jurisdiction was too small
and there was not enough Shriners in
the state to maintain two temples.
