ENEMIES OF FOX HUNTING
Growth of Poultry Farming Threatens
Abolition of Sport in England

Tho farmers of parts of England ar.
contemplating the formation of an anti
FOX hunting league strong enough to
abolish hunting or spoil the eniovroen4
OF It, says the Louisville Courier Jour
nal.
The London correspondent OF the Now
York Tribune says that the upgrowtb of
poultry farming is to a certain extent the
cause or the unpopularity of hunting with
farmers. one owner or tenant of 200
acres is patrolling his land, and threatens
TO shoot any fox or hound that comes
WITHIN range of his shooting irons. An
other mas pupnshed a circular, In which
he says that the English farmers are los
Ing large amounts because they fear to
raise poultry in country infested with
foxes. Many farmers who are not inter
ested In poultry are tired of having their
fields pounded by horses and filled with
Mounds and fruit grower declares that
MS young fruit trees were virtually
ruined by gentlemen who rode through
them in the wake of the pack.
Here in Kentucky the matter was neaca-
iully settled good while ago by the
introduction of wire fences A noble snort

wire netting, and in counties i'm which the

ment of either raw hands or trained
old financiers there will be freedom of
action tantamount to an unlimited is
sue of new money.
The old advocates of boundless free
silver and new currency may be meas
ueably rrconciled, or they may not. Tn
der the provisions of the law just or
dered upon the books all the elastic
ity that can be asked for will be with

the staid people and the new school

Wilson's Trust Attitude
The writer has heard that it is bad
taste to invite attention to a success
full campaign of prophecy, but he car
not resist reference to the part he took
In these letters in predicting a change
of front in President Wilson toward
the trust issue. The understanding
that the administration was to conduct
a relentless raid against trusts and
concentrations of capital, was respon-
slble for much of the nervous panic
among the rich, and the contraction OF
industrial enterprise. For three weeks
the clever executive has been beating
1t into the grew matter of the miscel-
laneous multitude that the play of re-
construction would be placid and that
while strict honesty and fair dealing
would be insisted upon in the future, 1t
was also emphasized that the threat
ened policy of relentless punishment
aotf - To-,
would be subject to neutralizing modi-
fication along lines of outstanding
humanity.
1t is not an overdraft upon magma
ton to claim that a fat percentage of
the improved market sentiment of the
past few weeks Is due to a growing
appreciation of the Presidents newest
gospel OF business regeneration, a fact
that is now being appreciated and tina t
is unquestionably responsible for per-
centage of the recovery of nerve and
of prices. Claims that were regarded
sneeringly right down to recent date
are now enthusiastically approved.
Careful scrutiny of the business area
reveals the welcome fact that realfza-
tion of the threatened disasters turns
out of less consequence than had been
anticipated. So far as there has been
actual encounter the result was blood
less. 1t can even be said that collisions
where there was force employed dam
age was in no case brutally severe, and
the hospitals were scarcely used. The
awful panics that had been framed up
proved hardly more desperate as stock
market ammunition than so much saw
dust The material was inflamable and
capable of producing noise loud
enough to briefly shatter the nerves
of those already mildly shattered And
that has been all. The onward march

Mining Stocks

The market for Nevada mining securities
opened quiet and with an easy tone at the regu-
lar $3.50 a. IN. session Of the Bush street ex-
change yesterday, and the impression was gen.
eral at that time that the discovery of more
bogus North Star stock certificates In the east
had made brokers and investors wary about
trading In the genuine shares OF that corpora
ton. The early weakness was not confined to
North Star. however. for several other Tonopah
favorites and the north end Comstocks too, had
very weak opening. but the market had a
smart rally in the late trading aud most OF the
opening losses were recovered. North Star sold
down to 92c on the call, but rebounded to Mon

decline OF three points from the price posted at
the close on the preceding day. Rescue finished
the day steady aud unchanged after ap early

regarding the corn crop were largely responsible
for the slightly lower range of prices in the

weather In Texas may cause further advance
but the disposition here Is TO sell on rallies
BOSTON July 29.-The continuation OF the
strike In the lake region caused more selling
today but there little change In prices
The decline In the metal In London was given
as another reason for selling the copper.
CHICAGO, July 29.-Shorts became uneasy
at the advances in coarse grains and covered

corn country and in the corn market. Some
large professionals put out their wheat again
when the market eased back. or at least part
of their lines were sold second time.
Primary receipts large and spring wheat
will begin to add TO them soon. but wheat Is
pretty well worth the money, we think. and we

Traders used the statement of the
secretary OF the treasury regarding the
decline in bonds as bear argument
but offerings of stocks were absorbed
without much difficulty. There was
in Union Pacific, but the technical posi-
tion was weakened as the result of
heavy covering of shorts last week.
IT was the general opinion that the re-

to make the market moro healthy.

no real weakness. Chesapeake and Ohio

change at 95A. l point down from the
last previous sale, and new low

Trading was light during the after
noon session but the tone was firm.
The Erie issues were again the strong
features, buying being based on ex-
ment of earnings for the year. At the
close the market had recovered a good
part of the early decline and the tone
was remarkably firm.

Oats have taken considerable color

came a little earlier than in corn, as
there was a great deal OF selling here
