Busy Buzzy Bees
Oust Wood Choppers
Near White House

Had the poet been Just a little
more familiar with the activities
Of bees and the SenSibilitirS Of
wood choppers, he would have
addressed himself 10 yellow
Jackets and not to a human be-
Ing when he said:
"NOndman, spare that tree.
Touch not a single bOugh."
In other words, he should have
been present on the White
House grounds today when
crowd OF IabOrers, trimming the
trees that were wrecked by the
wind storm of two weeks ago,
attempted TO Iop off few
branches from an injured elm
near the Executive OFFICES.
The labOrerS approached their
work braVeIy enough, armed
with axes and saws, hut il was
Sam, the biggest of the cOIOred
men, who sounded the warning
for retreat.
"Help! Fire! 0uch!" he yelled.
"Git away fom heah. Lawdy,
dOan't you see dem Yellow
Jackets! 0uch!"
And the husky labOrers scattered
like chaff before a wind.

Petroleum lost 1 point.
The market started off dull with
prices a little changed since Satur-
day. There was a strong undertone,
but at the same time there were
many stop orders below market, and
bear raid would have started a 2G3
point reaction.
News of rain in the West, during the
second hour. produced a quick rally
in the market. but stocks were sup
piled on the advance, and trading con-
tinued comparatively dull.
By noon the market showed j slight
increase in strength caused by inter
mittent rallies, but there was no ma
terial elevation in prices.
Canadian Pacific advanced 1 point on
foreign buying. due evidently to the
belief that peace at last has been re-
stored in the Balkans, with the result

made a slight gain.
The curb was quiet.
Americans in London were dull and
moved in a narrow range. pending
Mexican developments. In Wall Street
no perturbation was felt over a pros
pective break between the United States
and Mexico.
Copper opened a little better on a
couple of stop orders. London reported
the copper market not as firm as in the
recent past. the change in sentiment be-
ing ascribed to disappointment at the
American copper statistics.

To Be Fair Exhibitor

LONDON. Aug. 1l-Declarign that ne
will be an individual exhibitor at the
Panama-PaCific Exposition at San
Francisco. whether or not the British
government participates, Sir Thomas
Upton. in today's Times urges the gov
ernment to reconsider its decision. He
says:
AS an exhibitor at Chicago and at
St. Louis. can say that British mer-
chants had every reason to be gratified
with the results. These exhibitions were
held when the United States tariff was
at the highest, whereas, now Congress
has reduced the prOhibitive tariffs to
a sweeping extent, and has given op-
portunity for trade competition never
anticipated in the days of the Chicago
and st. Louis expositions.
Yet this is the moment chosen to
abstain from exhibiting our products.

FILL MANY ORDERS
ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Little Interest Apparent, But
Much Trading Is Done Dur
ing the Day.

While but little apparent interest was
shown during today's session of the
Washington Stock Exchange, there was
a deal of trading, scattered over the en-
tire period. This, however, was confined
almost exclusively 10 the filling of or
ders There were no signs OF a specu-
lative influence in any quarter.
Interest centered on bonds during the
greater part of the session. Those of
the railway companies were somewhat
active, although the trading ceased i'm
mediatcly after the orders held by GER
tain of the brokers were filed The
price of the bonds remained practically
unchanged
Of the Capital Traction SIS. $500 sold
a lO7le, which figure was but 4 of a
point off the asked price at the close.
Anacostia Potomac railroad 5s made
their appearance on the list of sales
for the first time in days, IS being the
price paid for a single 1900. A Poto-
mac Consolidated of the $1,000 de-
nomination also demanded $1,000.
Type machine stocks attracted some
attention. Five shares of Lanston sold
at so, the closing prices being 1914 bid,
with 81 asked. At the opening the bid
price was 7s1a and the asked 81.
Five shares of Federal National
Bank. at 135, constituted the only other
sale made during the regular session.
On the after call. $500 in Capital
Traction 5's sold at 107h; a per cent
bond of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company at So; ten shares of
Washington Gas at S4as, and ten shares
of Capital Traction at l15k.
The losses by fire in the United
States and Canada during July, as
compiled from the records of the
journal Of Commences commercial bull
letin, aggregate 500, $4,000. as compared
with S15.219,lOO during the same month
last year. an increase of more than
S. O0O, 900. The record for the first seven
months of this year. however, is still
some s10Oo0O00 behind that of A year
ago. the figures for 1913 being S139.-
356, $50 as compared with $149,591 $50 for
1872. There We're 32S fires during July
of this year, which, in each instance.
caused an estimated property damage
of $4,000 or more.
The production of winter wheat in
Maryland for the 1913 season shows
slight decrease over last year accord
ing to reports of the Department of
A AgriCulture. This evidently is due to
climatic and soil conditions. as the num-
Der of bushels an acre this year aver
age almost two bushels less than last
