Crosby Crop Reports

Crosbyton, Tex, July IL. -
Wheat is going to be the money
crop of this section of the
country. Notwithstanding the
heavy damage done by hail,
the wheat is threshing out IN
good quantities of the highest
grade and quality. Wheat pur-
chasers Rave been active for
the last week in this vicinity,
endeavoring to obtain conces-
sions on all in this vicinity. Four
carloads are being shipped over
the Crosbyton South Plains Rail
road this week. Other crops
are coming along nicely and
there will be an abundance OF
feed stuff of all kinds that will
find its way over the railroad

The cotton crop wi be a little

ENGLAND ReSeNTS LAWS
Objects 10 Allowing American
Vessels Free Passage
Through Cana

Washington. d. c., July ii. 90
Lines were drawn tonight for a
great diplomatic battle between
the United States and Great
Britain over the question OF
whether the United States can
discriminate in favor of Amerl-
can vessels in its administration
of the Panama canal.
The question may go to The
Hague tribunal.
The American government
takes the position that there is
nothing in the Hay-Faunceforte
Treaty to prevent this concession.
The diplomatic struggle was
preciDitated today by a note read
from Mitchell Innes. of the Brit
ish Embassy. 1t is expected &c
be fought out along the following
lines:
Great Britain will take the po-
sitioA that the Hay.Paunceforte
provision in favor Of the Amer
can vessels in the conduct OF the
canal would operate against the
provision of the Panama Bill nov
pending before the Senate.
Great Britain's position viii b'
supported by a lengthy argumen
/ brought to Washington from
London. The United States vii
hold that so long as all foreign
ships are accorded the same treat
ment, the United States may
pass her own ships free or rebate
the tolls charged them.
Representative Sulzer, chair
man of the House committee OF
foreign affairs. in supporting tn
bill said:
Il am surprised that the Brit
ish government now objects t
the United States regulating tn
tolls of her own ships passinj

through the Panama Canal.

through the Panama Canal.
I'VE will treat the objection
with the dignity it deserves.
The British government should
not complain if no toll discriml-
nation is made against British
ships in favor of those of some
other nation. We have the right
under the treaty to charge or not
charge tolls on our own ships. q"
Suffers position is supported
by Taft and Secretary of War
Stimson.
The State Department will
probably allow Congress to make
a reply to the British government
when the time comes.
If the bill becomes a law ovel
Great Britain's protest, ii is like
ly that the matter will go to the
Hague tribunal as a court of las
resort.

the near approach of spring and what IS of greater significance, the admiral condl- tions prevailing in the wintery wheat sec tions produce a more bouyant feeling in western trade circles and the whole busi- nees situation Is benefited thereby. This is all the better because of unsettling in- fiuences prevailing In many parts of the world, particularly in Mexico, China and England.
 Notwithstanding unusual handcaps pro- duction of pig iron was on an enlarged scale in February, the output rising to 2,l00,Sl5 tons, against 2,057,911 in January, according to the Iron Age. The daily aver age in February was P, AZ tons or 6000 tons more than in the earlier month, nearly all the gain being provided by the steel companies. These statistics clearly point to heavier operations when the weather becomes more open. Purchase of round lots of heavy melting steel scrap and of both basic and Bessemer iron have been made by the leading interests, while foun- dry grades reflect a hardening tendency. Activity is not pronounced in finished ma terials but prices are less unsettled and some manufacturers are more independent in their attitude.
 Demand in dry goods steadily broadens and many evidences of sustained strength are noted Some advances are noted, notably cotton blankets and staple mapped goods. while colored eottons rule steady and ten toward a higher level There is also a moderate improvement in the out look for. fine yarn cloths. Less than four weeks product of all kinds of cloths are in stock at Fall river. Export shpmefrs continue good, sales ahead to India bsNng the largest in six years, while demand from the Red Sea continues active. In woolens jobbers are doing a fair trade and are hopeful of its continuance. Some staples are well sold ahead and one lead ing line of colored serges has been with drawn being sold up for spring and fall Trade In footwear Is of supplementary orders for the season and the demand is limited. Higher prices for fall goods re- tard the trade somewhat

TRADE MOVES ALONG
 AT STEADY PACE Poor Road Conditions Deter Drummers Getting About INCREASE IN PIG IRON Preparations Proceeding in Industrial Lines for Outdoor Work-Jobbers
 Doing More in Leading Dry
 Goods Markets
INCREASE IN PIG IRON

New York, March S.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Trade moves along at steady pace though there is still enough tagging, com bined with few setbacks, to prevent desirable uniformity. The poor condition of country roads has deterrcd travelling salesmen from getting about with facil- ity. but withal results reflect relative inn provement, mail orders being features. l. In the country's leading dry goods mar kets the signs indicate that jobbers in all departments are doing more, with here and there a paucity of some makes of goods due to previous understanding of requirements. This in turn is reflected in demands on the mills, some of which are hampered in getting out goods be- cause textile operatives are not plentiful. On the whole trade In this quarter is better than at this time last year and tending to broaden with requests to send goods previously ordered somewhat in advance of dates set.
 In industrial lines preparations for out door work are proceeding, but the threat of a strike of anthracite coal miners to- gether with reports of unrest among bi- luminous workers disturbs the situation in coal lines and enables retail dealers to increase prices on hard coal, quota tions for which have not been disturbed by the operators. Features in the iron and steel trade comprehend the receipt of more liberal specifications by the leading producer, less irregularity in prices for finished material, increased production of pig iron and better demand for, steel making grades in consequence of which quotations have improved Collections display a little better aspect improve ments being reflected at some centers, though payments at the south and in the Pacific northwest are still slow.
