BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON. September 4.-The Com
mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
The wool market has been mod
erately active during the week and
prices have held steady. Business has
been largely in territory and other
domestic woods, together with some
foreign crossbreds. Conservatism seems
to be the underlying principle upon
which business is done. but dealers
are generally firm believers in the
value of wool they possess
"Advices from Yorkshire indicate dull
and unsettled business, with fine wool

day continued to break high price rec
ords of the present war. 1t was said
that export demand was active and
was based on large orders for the gov
ernments of Great Britain, France and
Greece Besides, there were rumors
that Holland had received an ulti-
matum from Germany. The opening,
which was 4 to IA higher, was fol-
lowed by an additional ascent averag-
ing more than &c all around, COM
pared with last night.
Corn swung upward with heat. The
market at first had been inclined to
sag, owing to fine weather and larger
receipts. After starting rs off to x a
u higher. prices scored Il moderate
general gain.
undated expert call had bullish
effect on oats. Profit taking, though,
by long exercised a restraining in
fluence, and kept quotations within d
comparatively narrow range.
Provisions were easy on account of
lower prices for hogs. First transac-
tions averaged a shade to 5a71a under

Take Over Servian Interests.
Dispatches from Brussels and Berlin
say Minister Whitlock and Ambassador
Gerard have taken over the Servian in
terests in their respective countries
Ambassador Myron T. Herrick has been
authorized by the State Department to
use his own discretion about remaining
In Paris now that the French capital has
been moved to Bordeaux. 1t is regarded
as unlikely, however. that the ambas-
sador will transfer the embassy and
archives from their present location. In
the event of the siege of Paris. and even
more particularly in the event of its fall
Ambassador Herrick would naturally as
sumo charge of the embassies of Great
Britain. Belgium and Russia, and his
presence in the capital would be needed
just as much under German occupation
as at present.
The State Department has received
cable from Ambassador Herrick announc-
ing the arrival of William Graves Sharp
or Ohio. the new ambassador to France.
He will not assume office for the present.
The Department of State has given out
the following mail dispatch from the
American ambassador at Berlin, dated
August 10. quoting statement given
out by the official press bureau in Ber-
lin, August 16:
. German Ports Open.
1.-The supposition which prevails in neu-
trail foreign countries that German ports
are blockaded and traffic by water with
Germany cut off is Incorrect it says.
mo port is blockaded. and there is moth
ing in the way of communication by ship
from neutral states to Germany
Neutral ships bound for German North
sea ports must steer by day for a point
ten sea miles northwest of Helgoland.
There Germany provides for pilots to
conduct the ships into the German ports.
Neutral ships must steer directly for
every port. Bunker coaling is still al

Motorists Claim They Are
Disseminated Against in
Enforcing of Law.
DOUBT AS TO WHETHER
STREET CARS ARE LIABLE
If Not Included in Application Of
Rule Commissioners May Amend
the Regulations.

Does the provision of the new traffic
regulations prohibiting use Of glar1ng
lights on any thoroughfare In the Dis
trict apply to street cars as well as
automobiles and other conveyances?
Doubt on the part Of officials of the
public utilities commission as to the
extent of application Of the question
probably will result in its early refer
ence to the corporation counsel for an
opinion.
The prohibition as to glaring lights
is contained under the heading, Ike
strictions in regard to vehicles" Pre-
ceding this section 1t is stated that the
term vehicle" shall apply to horse
and to any conveyance except a street
car.
This would appear to eliminate street
cars from the application of the rule
in regard to binding lights. it is urged
by those who have looked into the
matter.
should this view be taken by the
corporation counsel, the Commission
ers it is believed, will consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of amending the regula-
ton in order to have it apply to street
cars as we'll as other vehicles.
Motorists Claim Discrimination.
Washington motorists have complained
that they are being Disseminated against
In the enforcement of the regulation re-
speeding use of headlights. Suburban
cars particularly. they point out. are u.s.

One complainant states that while
lights on automobiles of all descriptions
must be so dimmed as to be useless for
lighting the way for the drivers of ma
chimes the street cars still carry their
heavy binding lights, which dazzle as
much as any light which ever graced the
front of high-powered touring car.
The claim is also made that motorists
are being Disseminated against In the en-
forcement of the Districts speed laws.
Policemen keep strict lookout for auto
lists who exceed the speed limit, whereas
street cars are permitted to operate at
break neck pace, it is charged.

companies are being watched to see that
they comply with regulations promulgated
