Bearish sentiment is growing stronger and rather more aggressive. The argu- ment is used with considerable effect that most of the good points in the mar ket have been discounted, and that when action really comes of moment, the trend will be downward. There is weight to this presentment, yet somehow the foundations of values do not yield to any extent un- der pressure. For one reason, there IS strange scarcity of stocks within bor- rowing reach of the short sellers. and unless they can borrow the stocks with which to make deliveries on their short sales, they .'corner themselves" and place themselves at the mercy of the various people they intended to mulct The truth is, the swing of prices has been within very narrow range and has given to neither side important advantages. The scalpers have had the stage pretty well to themselves, and have been reasonably content with the capture of the elusive fractions. Not so with the speculatofs. They lose money in these narrow trifiing markets. Unless they can take a posi- tions they are like a boat at sea without sails. rudder or anchor. and are as much at the mercy of the gadfys on the cx- change as the veriesr novice. Several times the market has been tested in a fairly large way. with view to breaking prices and starting bear campaign. Each time 1t looks as if the effort might be crownd4 with success; each time failure
 has resulted, except in the eases of some of the minor specialties. which were found without support.

Republic Iron and Steel has been one of the weak stocks under continuous pres sure. In the days when the market man. agement of that stock lay with the late John w. Gates, he could do most any thing he wanted to with it-stir 1t up into A. wild turmoil of activity. get the public interested and unload any sized line he might desire Those were the days when the Pittsburg and Chicago plungers liked to rock the boat in storms on the stock exchange Most of them have been ship wrecked or else have died. Their places have not been filled. There are no more s.00o 600 shares days; 500o0o shares days are regarded as satisfactory, or at least endurable. It so happened that some or the insiders in Republic Iron and Steel were determined to unload. and there was no market for their stun. Down went the price nearly sl5 share The breath of speculative life was blown into Bethle- hem Steel through the medium of paipaoie publicity. and the insiders who wanted to convert some of their certificates into coin did not succeed. Owners of shares in many other independent companies would like to find market for their hold ings, but on looking over the field, they are obliged to admit the hopelessness of any such undertaking, consequently, near ly all of the iron and steel stocks have gone to sleep" Big Steef' is the only exception. Anybody can get in and out of United States Steel within moderate distance of whatever the ruling quotation is. Wholesale liquidation would, of course, smash the stock, as ft has done before, and the whole market would go with it. That no such calamity has yet occurred borders on the marvellous and tells a wonderful story of the endurance and courage of the great army of Anvestors. for industrial conditions are certainly full of Encouragement and the outlook blue.
 In inner circles the story is current that the little group of insiders who have

they were sent back to jail again
without bail.
The trial opened September Is.
Two venires of $50 were neces-
sary before a jury could be
formed.
Counsel for the defense and
prosecution summed up yester-
day. Ettor and Giovannitti,
from the steel cage in which they
were imprisoned, made dramatic
appeals to the jury against the
advice of their own counsel
Both the labor leaders demand
ed that if the jury find them guilty
they sentence them to death.
Judge Quinn spoiled much of
the effect of this plea by telling
the jury that if Ettor and Giovan-
nitti were guilty, they could be
punished only by lite 1mprlson-
ment.
The case went to the jury yes
terday afternoon. 1t took the
jury only three hours to acquit all
three men.
Ettor and Giovannitti person
ally thanked the jury for their
verdict. Caruso did so through
an interpreter. He cannot speak
English.

leased was:

He meant Elizabeth Gurley

MUSICAL COMEDY
IS THE BEST EVER

Manager Dan Myers, Of the Grand
Theatre, has been trying for weeks to
find an attraction that would please
all of the theatre-goers of Vinita, and
those who saw the show last night be-
lieve he has found that attraction.
The Johnny and Ella company opened
a weeks time" at the Grand last
night with a splendid musical comedy
entitled the MAN Question" and it
was well received by the large audi
ence that braved the almost sitting
heat to see the opening bill. Every
possible effort is being put forth to
make the theatre comfortable on these
hot nights. The performance last
night was just the kind Vinita likes
good musical comedy-real comedy
and lots of good catchy music. The
company as a whole have good voices
and the songs were very pleasing. Es-
pecially so was the work of the male
qudi lSt, WHICH, was CdiiSu UhCh lOi
several encores. Having no programs
the audience was unable to familiarize
themselves with the names Of the play
ers and so we will not attempt to
dwell upon the work of all of them.
We could do so at some length, how
ever, without feeling that we had ex-
aggerated or given any but the gen.
eral opinion Of the audience as to these
players The work of the two stars
was superb. No better musical COM
edy stars have been seen at the Grand.
The feature of last nights bill was
the balloon flight over the audience
by Miss Calvin. How this feat was
accomplished caused much sepecula-
ton on the part of the audience. Any
way it was hit and we don't care how
it was done.
This company will present change
of program each night this week
Each performance will be musical
comedy and the big hit scored with
the audience last night insures bigger
crowds each night if the quality OF
the new plays is equal to that of the
one last night. Tonight the musical
comedy Little Miss Mix-Up,' will be
presented.

Washington, July 22.-The anti-sa-

judiciary committee today when Sen

will prohibit shipments of ! iquor

GRANT v|CTORS HOME
ROBBED IN MUsKOGEE

Muskogee, Okla, July 20. The
home Of U. S. Marshal Grant Victor
was entered by a burglar some time
Friday night. Most of the articles
taken were old coins that had been
gathered up by Mr.. Victor, and were
very highly priced by him more on
that account than for their real value.
In the collection were several pices
of gold, one being 500 coin of the
new design. The property was all
taken from a small safe which was
thought to have been locked
The police think the money can be
found and a description of the coins
is being mailed out over the country.
Anyone trying to pass the following
pieces of money is liable to meet with
suspicion Two $3.50 old gold coins,
one IS old gold coin, one $40 and one
SIS gold coin of the new design and
several old silver pieces in denomina-
tions of halves and dollars. Some
silverware was also taken.

MURRAY's WILSON BOOST
STARTED W|NN|NGM0VEMENI

Bryan would whip every state organiz-
alton and state machine together with
the interests and combinations of
money and corporate politics that
could be marshalled against him. This
is the estimate placed upon the COLI
vention by an Oklahoma delegate,
whom the eastern papers and dele
gates gave credit for much of the sue
cess of the Wilson contest for on the
9Th day of July, Thos. C. Burke of
Oregon, brother of Governor Burke of
North Dakota gave the Chicago Inter-
Ocean an interview in which he said,
There were strong political influences
which do not stand for the good of
the people in any particular, would
have won control Of the convention,
but for the fight of Bryan.
In the early stages of the balloting,
after Clark had received a majority of
the votes and the stampede for him
was at it's height, an incident occurred
which | believe affected the result.
alfalfa Bill Murray of Oklahoma, in
voice that could be heard above the
tumult, declared when his state was
called that he had nothing in common
with the Tammany crowd and would
not vote for anyone who had. Where
upon in the same voice, he cast ten
votes for Wilson Our state was next
on the roll and the loyal Wilson men
from Oregon went mad in counter
demonstration, as Oregons vote fol
| lowed Oklahomas and checked the
scramble for the Clark band wagon.
This believe bridged the crisis for,
from that time on, Wilson steadily
gained and Clark as steadily lost, al
though every inch of ground was then
fought over with determination that
was intense
! Mr.. Burke's statement is confirmed
by the New York Daily Times in q
column discussion of Tammany's fight
and Alfalfa Bill's utterances in the
convention. The Times goes on to say
that when Murphy cast 90 votes for

and yelled that his delegation was
split ten for Clark and ten for Wilson

a quality or reality about it that made
the machine-made demonstrations of
greater length look like thirty cents.
And what did this great uproar of
enthusiasm mean? It meant disap-
proval of Tammany hall These yell
ing thousands were trying to convey
to each other the idea that they totally
disapproved of the bargain between
Chas. F. Murphy and his old enemy,
William Randolph Hearst, and the
shrieks and yells with which they
tried to give utterance to this opinion
beat anything this convention had yet
seen for spontaneity, ferocity and
deadly purpose.
in the midst of it Bryan came down
the aisle to take his seat in the Ne
braska delegation" says the New York
Times, "and the demonstration was
redoubled and directed at him. The
delegates split their throats. For sew
eral minutes they stood on their chairs
making din which put every other
noise heard in the convention into the
whisper class.
Then Wilson banner was brought
into the aisle. After that the man who
invented the word noise" would have
been ashamed of himself if he had
been present.
