BOSTON. November 21.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin will say tomorrow;
Rather more general demand for small
lots totaling fair volume of business

Although bank clearings at leading
cities in the United States make q
slightly better exhibit than last week,
there is still considerable contraction evil

y. 9O6. 1Ol 142. as against $3259, ,O91, ,435 for
the Same week last year. a decrease Of

small returns by New York. that center

WOULD TAKE NAVAL HOLIDAY
Representative Bartholdt Offers Res
olution Instructing Peace Delegates.

Representative Bartholdt of Missouri
today introduced q concurrent resolution
to direct the AUnited States delegation to
the third international conference at The
Hague, in 1915. to favor the proposition OF
Lord Churchill Of the British admiralty
to the naval powers Of the world that an
international agreement be entered into
looking to the suspension of naval con-
struction for one year.
The resolution set out that an agree
ment would save hundreds of millions OF
dollars with the present relative strength
of the naval. powers maintained.
Dr. Bartholdt, who has just returned
from an international peace conference In
Europe, said there was no purpose to m
terfere with the pending Hensley resoiu-
ton for an expression Of Congress in
sympathy with the Churchill idea. but
that putting the matter before The Hague
tribunal would provide definite act.

scarce and the market continued to bor-
row from the Bank of England today
Discount rates were firm.
Although the stock market was gen.
orally dull. some early weakness disap-
peared in several directions under cover

the attention of investors, but Mexican
issues closed uncertain. and copper
stocks finished weak in sympathy with
the slump in the metal.

during the early trading. At noon prices
ranged from zs above to ia below parity.
Later fluctuations were narrow and

but steady.

Foreign Influences.

Although speculation languished again
today the market showed improvement by
comparison with the preceding session.
The tendency was downward for a time,
but the course of prices was reversed
later.
Foreign influences dominated the early
dealings, in which the market yielded to
the depression of stocks abroad and the
fall in metal quotations.
The coppers were distinctly heavy. but
recessions elsewhere were small.
The exceptionally favorable nature of
the cotton ginning report, with its i'm
plications of good business for southern
railroads, and the better tone of the in
vestment market as attested by the quick
success of recent offerings of bonds and
notes tended to improve sentiment. and
moderate buying readily checked the de-

ANYWAY HIS AUTO
WAS BROKE TO LEAD

To be stuck in the mud due to de-
feet in his engine which he could not
locate, and to be suddenly jerked out
Of his helpless state and snaked into
town behind big auto truck, was the
somewhat disturbing experience suf-
fered by Mel Hamilton yesterday af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Hamilton was on his way to the
city from his home on the Fair Ground
road yesterday in his auto when his
engine suddenly gave a snort and sniff
and stopped dead still. He cranked
with much vigor and used language
unsuitable for print, with equal dex-
terity, but nary a spark could he get.
After nearly twisting his crank off the
hinges and all but dislocating his
shoulder, Mr.. Hamilton was hailed by
Batty Cooper, the genial motorman on
big Federal truck, who hitched a
hawser on the stranded sloop and
snaked both the owner and 1t to Sa-
lem.
