BUYING IN THE WEST
Crop Prospects Encouraging
to Interior Centres.

Commercial agencies report good re-
tail buying in the West and South
west growing out Of the excellent crop
prospects, but industrial operations are
found slow all over the country ana
business in the East is admittedly dull.
Gross earnings Of the railroads so tar
reported are under those OF 1913, but
bank elearings show gain over last
year for the first time in weeks.
"Dun's Review" will say: Reports
from the principal trade centres. con-
tinue irregular, but favorable sdyices
outnumber those of an opposite char,
acter, especially in the agricultural
sections, the prospect OF another year
of bountifui harvests stimulating re-
tail sales in the West and Southwest
The large drygoods suspension and the
disastrous fire in New England were
naturally disturbing features late in
the week. There has been a STEADY
movement in cottons, and business with
iobbers during June was better than
usual, much less hesitancy being shown
than in the preceding month.
"There was a decrease Of 81 per cent
in the gross earnings of railroads re-
porting for two weeks of June. Bank
clearings at all leading cities this week
were 90 per cent larger than in the
same period a year ago, this being the
first gain shown for some time. Com,
uercial failures this week in the unltea
States are $50, against 1893 last wees,
294 the preceding week and. 2o9 the
corresponding week last year:
"Bradstreet's" has the following;
Good crop, mixed trade and rather un-
satisfactory industrial and manutacC-
uring conditions sum up the. weeks re-
nort Good crop reports, with veritable
certainty of record winter wheat sa
crop, plus evidence of growth in trade:
both Wholesale and retail, in most OF
the West, all of the Northwest; South
west and in parts of the South strik-
inely contrast with the very slow pace
over and dull business in the East,
where additional depression has dovel-
oped in consequence of the suspension
Of large factor in the drygoods trade.
Collections in the West show further
improvement, but elsewhere payments
are slow"

Senator Says That's How
McReynolds Can Prove
Him Wrong.
ATTORNEY GENERALS
LETTERS GIVEN OUT
Controversy Over Attitude of
Law Department In Railroad
Case Reaches Floor.
From Tho Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 26.--The con-
troversy between Senator Norris and
Attorney General McReynolds over the
purposes of the Department Of Justice
with reference TO prosecution Of the
officials Of the New York, New Haven
e. Hartford Railroad was carried 10
the floor of the Senate to-day.
Senator Norris submitted letters no
had received from the Attorney Cen
eral in which it was stated that he
haG acted without warrant in declar-
ing that it was not the purpose of the
department to bring criminal prosecu-
tion against the New Haven officials.
Senator Norris retorted that he saw no
reason for revising his statements, that
Mellen alone had been indicted under
the Taft Administration and that If
the Department Of Justice had other
plans in mind the best way TO disclose
them was to prosecute somebody.
In the correspondence submitted to
the Senate the Attorney General says:
"The assertion that the Attorney
General did not have in contemplation
any criminal action, and nobody has
been given immunity in that case was
unwarranted and misleading. Speaking
in your Senator Norris's) presence l
have expressly declined to declare my
plans or purposes, and this has been
my uninterrupted attitude. 1t was,
therefore, impossible for you to know
what they were; and yet you under
took TO make announcement in respect
of them. AS is we'll known, Mellen,
q conspicuous figure, was then and Is
now under indictment in the Federal
Court because of certain transactions
connected with New Haven affairs.
How far his examination by the In
terstate Commerce Commission gave
immunity need not be discussed here"
As to the examination of New Haven
officials by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, Mr.. McReynolds says in
letter to the Interstate Commerce
Commission read to Senator Norris at
this time;
"Of course, l have no desire to in
terfere with, or to urge any objection
to, the course you may deliberately
decide upon; but it seems my duty to
the government again to suggest that
YOU carefully consider, along with
other factors, the effects which an eX-
animation at this time Of the persons
named above may have"
Referring further 20 that interview
Mr.. McReynolds said that the letter
stated his position with exactness and
that he had nothing to add to or take
from it. 81 have never objected to the
commission examining any one whom
It decided to put upon the stand with
full knowledge Of all the circum,
stances; and you were so informed
with no uncertain emphasis" said Mr.
McReynoldS.
Senator Norris declined TO admit
that he had been convicted of error,
Tf what / said is offensive to the
Attorney General-in other words, If
he did not intend to prosecute some,
body; if he did think that a federal
statute had been violated and, there
fore, it was his duty to prosecute some
body-the best answer that he can
make to the statement which l made
is to bring forth the prosecution"
