The Local Market.

The opening price of rs cents on
the local market dropped yesterday
to 70 cents. New wheat is coming
in freely and the crop is grading
strictly number two. The threshing
is progressing with ideal conditions
prevailing and rapid Roadway is be-
ing made in getting the crop into
sacks. Some few farmers are COM
planning of disappointing yields and
heavy crops of straw, but these re-
ports are exceptionally. The crop
is in all respects record-breaker
and the declining price is the one
thing to keep the farmers cup of
joy from overlooking.

MOVING DAY
FOR THE SICK
In6rmary Patients To Be Trans
ferred To Hospital Not
Later Than Tuesday.

The house-cleaners began work in
the Jennie Stuart Memorial Hospital
yesterday morning under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Wanda Williams, the
superintendent, and the actual NOV
ing will be begun Monday, when the
equipment of the Infrmary on Clay
street will be transferred to the new
Hospital.
The Infrmary is now crowded with
patients, there being II in the In
Urinary this week, about all there is
room for.
No severe surgical cases can be
taken at the old institution, that is
those whose condition would prevent
removal. The four persons operated
upon last week are getting along
we'll enough to be moved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lander Meacham,
typhoid fever patients, are now con-
valescent and will leave the Infrm-
airy in few days.
The entire executive force of the
Infrmary will be retained at the
Hospital and there will be no inter-
ruption in the operations. The trans
fer is expected to be made without
a hitch of any kind.
The sewage connections are yet to
be made. This is the only thing in
the way now, outside of the general
cleaning necessary in and out Of the
new building.

STATEMENT
Kentucky Senator Praised By
Wilson For Business
Attitude.

Washington. June 22.-In his state
ment about business conditions, Sen
ator Camden "hit the nail squarely
on the head" President Wilson told
the Kentuckian so in those words
when the Senator called at the White
House to-day. He said his views CO.
incided with those of Senator Cam
den to the effect that Congress
should not adjourn without passing
the trust programme and relieving
business of its present uncertainty
as to what the regulations will be.
Il believe that firmly" said Mr..
Camden as he left the White House.
"The only way to clear up the
present suspense is to pass these
trust bills and permit business to
make its future plans in full knowl-
edge. At present the programme
hangs like the sword of Damocles,
and naturally business men are tim
i'd"
Senator Camden was accompanied
to the White House by his secretary,
w. o. Davis. They saw the Presi-
dent for a few minutes and were
then introduced to Secretary Tumul-
ty, who also complimented the Sena-
tor on his statement.

Bears Succeed In Forcing The
Quotations Down To Low
est Point Of Year.
LOCAL PRICE IS Y CENTS.
Wheat Crop Coming In Freely
And All Grading First
Class No. 2.

Chicago, June N.-Wheat pit con-
ditions Tuesday were the most bear
ish since the harvest began. Active
options broke sharply under 80c a
bushel and there was heavy close
with the market showing net de-
cline of "a lie to 1s @l2c. Corn
wound up at / "a &c to "a 5 &c rise,
oats unchanged to ! "a &c lower and
provisions the same as last night to
13c down.
Official estimates that the Kansas
yield of wheat this season would
reach the remarkable aggregate Of
180, 200, 900 bushels were what gave
prices the hardest blow. Liberal ac-
ceptances on bids from here to the
country intensified the weakness of
the market and quickly nullifed the
effect of stronger Liverpool cables.
Prices seem to have no power to
rally, big export sales and a decrease
of more than 100000 bushels in
world stocks being virtually ignored.
Wet weather Southwest was also
dismissed summarily as not especial
ly serious up to date. On the other
hand, the bulls were further dis
couraged by the outlook for the
spring crop being regarded as almost
perfect except in Southern Minneso-
ia, where there were complaints of
too much rain.
Improved shipping demand as well
! as the addition of Oklahoma to the
drouth area tended to make corn
prices climb. There were no rural
offerings to speak of and bears got
but little comfort from a return of
fine weather in Argentina. Oats
felt the effect of the wheat weakness,
but were partly sustained by the in
iuence of the corn bulge.

The engagement of the Redpath
Chautauqua was finished here Tues
day night and r A. Afford, the
r&aager. folded his tents and silent
ly~stole away, leaving no regrets
behind him. hopkinsville was un-
fortunate this year in the character
of manager sent to conduct the
Chautauqua. Following the genial
and gentlemanly DR. Ellis of las.
year, the surly knocker, R. A. AL
ford, of this year, was a long step
downward. The Kentuckian, in a
spirit of fair dealing with the visit
ors, withheld criticism while the
program was in progress, but now
that the Chautauqua has gone, it is
due to the general management that
the press should pass judgment upon
Mr.. Afford. To begin with, he and
other speakers went out of their
way to criticise the program be-
cause the Sabbath was kept sacred.
This was none Of Mr.. Affords bust
ness. He was sent here to carry out
a contract, the terms of which were
very explicit. To start a discussion
on morals. in which he took the
Loo side, and to make of himself a
seif-appointed censor of the minis
try and an officious knocker on Hop
kinsville, was something entirely
outside of his duties. 1t advertised
the fact that Mr.. Afford was the
wrong man to send to Hopkinsville.
The people here have no use for a
knocker and the moment he got out
his hammer he became an unpopular
meddler in Hopkinsville's civic and
Religious affairs. The real character
Of the man was further shown Tues
Gay night when he let the engage
mNpt merely peter out, without a
wotd of thanks to a community that
had given a courteous hearing and a
profitable patronage to an organiza-
ton whose management was mer-
cenary and to some extent UNI
gentlemanly. Heretofore the gen.
tlemen in charge have thanked the
nnhlic for the interest and encour-
agement and have had something
pleasant to say about the people and
the city. Mr.. Afford merely
sneaked behind a lowered curtain
and showed a cloven foot, after hav-
ing killed the Chautauqua business
in Hopkinsville as dead as Hector, at
least while it is hampered in its To-
cal management by such men as
Mr.. Afford.

All Differences Covered Except
Personnel of New Proyis-
iOnal Government.
UP TO FACTIONS THEN,
Government United States Will
Recognize Only Thing Lack.
ing For Peace.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June "a
Plans were completed yesterday by
the South American mediators fos
the signing within a day or two Of
all protocols in the peace plan which
relate to international differences
between the United States and Mex
leo, except the plank giving the com.
position and personnel of the new
provisional government. The medi-
ators intend to have the entire peace
plan ready so that at the Informal
conferences the Huerta and consti-~
tutional delegates may select pro-
visional president and cabinet Off
GERS. Before these conferences are
held the work of the mediators and
the American delegates virtually wiz
be finished. Representatives of the
two Mexican facti ms then will as
sumo the responsibility of making OF
breaking the peace program.
Reports from New Orleans quot
ing Carranza's private secretary as
saying the commission en- route to-
Washington would not participate in
informal negotiations with the HUI
erta delegates, did not disturb the
mediation colony. The expressions
accredited to men who recently left
General Carranza's headquarters
were construed to be a part of the
desire not to disclose the purposes of
their mission prior to their arrival
here.
Whether the delegates now COM
ing represent the personal interests
of Carranza is not known but the
mediators have good reason to be-
lieve General Villa is in sympathy
with efforts Of the United States to
settle Mexican embroglio through
diplomatic channels and that the del
egates en- route will have Villas APP
proval.
The signing of the protocols set
ting the international dispute OK
condition that provisional govern.
ment be established which the Unit
ed States can recognize, is expected
to serve as an incentive to the two
Mexican factions to agree on person
mel.
These protocols will be published,
perhaps Thursday of this week. One
will set forth that within a fixed Pc
riod after the United States recog-
nizes the new government Amert~
can forces shall be withdrawn from
Vera Cruz and hostilities shall be de-
clared suspended between the United
States and Mexico. Another will in
clude declaration by the United
States that it desires no indemnity
for expenditures resulting from the
seizure of Vera Cruz, but asks only
the establishment Of a provisional
government that can guarantee in
ternational as well as national obl;,e
cations.
