BULLS FAILURE
EFFECTED PRICES
This Was One of the Leading
Elements in the Market
Reverses

New York, Aug. 14-The reverses
which continue to overtake the stock
market last week were the outcome
OF several factors, especially an ill
judged attempt of a speculative party
to force prices up last month and
failure of some of the helpful infiu-
ences relied upon by that party to
carry its ventures to success.
Instead. of success it was overcome
by adversely and forced into liquida-
ton or to appeal for assistance from
stronger financial hands.
There was sufficient basis for re-
ports that accounts had to be taken
over by private arrangement, much
as was the case in July of last year.
The market failed to show the relief
which ordinarily results from such
salvage operations, and further i'm
petus was given to the retrograde
movement when it became known that
H. c. Frick had retired from the Har-
man boards.
Miscalculation Of the money market
was main element in the trouble
that has overcome the speculative po-
sition. Early in the season there
was presumption that extremely
easy money conditions would prevail
throughout the year. or until de-
cisive business revival should make
additional demands. The excess of the
country's exports over imports also
was relied on to establish a command
Of banking credits in foreign mar
kets.
The speculative campaign seems to
have ignored the effects to be ex-
pected from the government Panama
canal bond issue. apparently counting
on the redeposit of the proceeds in
the national banks. Instead of that
over $50,O00,00O flowed out Of bank
reserves into the United States treas
ury.
The Moroccan crisis and the poll
teal upheaval in Great Britain came
along when prices Of securities were
invitingly high and foreign holdings
Of stocks and bonds were sent to

York banking credits abroad. The

An effort will be made by Senator
Pomerene Of Ohio to have the rate OF
interest provided in the proposed loan
shark law for the District Of Columbia
set at 8 per cent a year.
The bill as reported from the Senate
District committee. and as 1t now lies
on the calendar, provides for a rate of
1la per cent a month. or 1S per cent a
year When 1t came up for consideration
in the Senate last week Senator Pomer-
enc objected and the measure went over
Today Senator Pomerene announced in

proposes to offer.
Il do not believe that the United States
government should countenance an ex-
cessive charge of interest such as the
bill now proposes" declared Senator
Pomerene, emphatically. Men who lend
trict of Columbia say that they cannot do
business, owing to the risk they incur and
the expense to which they are put to in
vestigate before the loans are made, and
sometimes to collect the money loaned
unless they are allowed to charge IL per
cent a month. Some of them claim they
cannot do business unless they are al
lowed to charge even more. say, let
them go out of business, them
Bill Was Amended.
When the bill was presented to the Sem
ate District committee for consideration
IT provided for rate of 2 per cent per
month. On this the committee was even
ly divided, the vote being a tie. An
amendment was then proposed, making
the rate IA per cent, and this amendment
was adopted.
The law In Ohio. Senator Pomerene's 8
home state, provides for rate Of per
cent on loans on goods and chattels, etc
But it also provides for charge of not
more than 10 per cent on the original
sum loaned for making Investigations,
drawing up papers. collections, etc. This
Ohio law has just been passed.
Senator Pomerene, however, does not
approve of allowing an extra charge to
the loan agencies for making investiga-
tions. drawing up papers, collections, etc,
and he declared that he thought the fiat
8 per cent rate of interest was all that
should be allowed.

REDRESS BY MEXICO
IS PROMISED CHINA
State Department Officials Do
Not Look for Any Serious
Complications.

There is no danger Of the friendly re-
lations Of China and Mexico being dis
turbed. in the opinion Of officials of
the State Department. as a result Of
the outrages against Chinese at Tor
reon. While the Department has no
definite information as to whether or
not q Chinese vessel Is to be sent to
Mexican waters. the confident opinion
was expressed that the attitude of China
will be reasonable, and that the Mexican
government will be only too glad to
do justice toward all proper claims.
No doubt is felt. it was added. that il
a Chinese vessel visits Mexico 1t will not
be on an unfriendly mission.
Prompt Action Promised.
While sympathizing with the feeling
aroused in China by the terrible outrages
in Torreon, the officials declared that the
occurrences undoubtedly were as intense
ly deplored in Mexico as in the United
States, and point to the statement of
President de la Barra that the Mexican
government will take up the Chinese
claims as promptly as practicable and
that China has already been assured that
the rights of her subjects will be re-
spected.
The situation is of peculiar interest to
this government because in many places
In Latin America where China Is not
represented the diplomatic or consular
representatives of the United States have
looked after Chinas interests during
times of distress.
Aid Given by Consuls.
At the time of the Torreon massacre
the American consular officers were In
structed, as foreign consular officials
generally are in such cases. to do
everything they properly could to pre-
vent in cases of imminent jeopardy.
the taking of innocent life.
1t is recalled that at Juarez body of
Chinese were allowed to take refuge
on the American side of the line for
similar humanitarian reasons. This,
however, is considered different from
the situation, for example, in Panama,
where the American representatives.,
with the consent of the government OF
Panama, regularly looked after Chinese
interests.
