SENATE ID INSIST ON TRUST AMENDMENTS Principal Points of Dispute Relate to Price Dis
 criminati0ns

Washington. September 4-The Senate voted today to insist upon it's amendments to the Clayton antitrust bill, and named on the conference committee Senators Cul- person. Overman, Chiffon, Clark of Wy oming and Nelson of Minnesota. Principal points of difference relate to the senate's elimination of the section relating to price determinations.
 Senator Newands submitted the report of the conference committee on the fed eral trade commission bill. In addition to changes affecting court procedure in re- viewing findings of the proposed commis- sion, the commission injected u provision to guard against indiscriminate complaints of unfair competition. stipulating that whenever the commission should have ship or corporation has been or is using any unfair methods of competition, and if 1t should appear to the commission that a proceeding by fl in respect thereof would be to the interest of the public.' 1t should order an investigation.
 The conference report on the trade com mission bill also was submitted in the House. and Chairman Adamson of the ir- terstate commerce committee announced he would call it up Tuesday for consider- ation.
 The report declared that tile conferees found 1t impossible to frame definitions to embrace all unfair practices. "'as there is no limit to human invention''

Payment of American In debtedness to England and Liquidation of American Security Held By England Suggested.
By HOLLAND

New York, September 4.-1Specia1) cordial and earnest cooperation was represented in the conference between the federal reserve board at Wash ington and the bankers. business. men and representatives of chambers of commerce. Special effort was made to secure the hearty co-operation of the bankers of the reserve district, of which New York city is the center. The reason for that is to be found in the fact that from New York will probably come the greater part of the information which the federal reserve board is anxious to obtain But in all the F reserve districts great interest was manifested in the invitation is- sued in the name of the federal reserve board for the conference begun at Washington on September 1.
 The underlying purpose of this con. ference was the discovery of the best means to break the deadlock in foreign exchange. The situation has been not exactly critical, but very embarrassing, and it has raised practically insur- mountab1e obstacles in the path of for eign trade. exports and liquida ton of our immediate obligations to Europe.
 All sorts of guesses have been made since the foreign exchange situation became deadlocked as to the amount of indebtedness the United States owes to European countries. Some have accepted the figures made by Sir George Paish last winter, repre- senting an estimate that the total American obligations in Great Britain

ABRUPT DECLINE IN
 FOREIGN EXCHANGE Absolutely No Market for Continental Exchange.
 Forecasts Conflicting

New York September A notable event of the day was the abrupt decline in foreign exchange. London cables fell to 5.021s and demand to S.011a. These 1uo- tations represent declines of as much as 5 cents on the pound sterling from the highest rates of the week and are be l:eved to result directly from the outcome of the negotiations between New York city officials and banking group, which is said to have agreed to finance all of New YorlS's foreign obligations maturing between this and the expiration of the year.
 There was absolutely no market for continental exchange. The situation at Paris precluded all possibility of exchange operations with that centre. Efforts to ne- gotate 3o-day bills on Berlin were un- avaiing.
 Call money was offered at per cent by representatives of Canadian banks, which stipulated, however, that fully 50 per cent collateral in excess of the loan would be required As these terms were almost prohibitive little money was loaned at the per cent rate. The market for time 
 loans continues nominal around s per cent.
 Money brokers see no indications of q hardening of the market un- less the foreign conflict is unduly pro- longed. The saving clause, in the local s't- nation, they say, is the fact that unlike previous periods of financial stress com paratively few loans to brokers have been called, while the immediate needs of that element have been reduced to slender pro- portions by the settlement of practically all the business transacted on July 90.
 Forecasts of tomorrow's bank statement are somewhat conflicting, in that a moder- ate cash gain is likely to be offset by ship mepts to the interior. The known move ment points to a reduction of the loan account and a further reduction of the ex- isting deficit.

Laurel, Miss, September 4.--Special) Mississippi lumber business shows few signs of falling off as result of the European war Prices are holding up well. although buying is on a somewhat more conservative scale.

ALABAM|ANSCA
 AGREE ON 4 MAN
 SUCCEED SHELBY

Washington, September 4.-tSpecialD No satisfactory results today developed from two or three efforts to unite the Alabama members of the House behind one candidate for judge of the federal court of the Fifth judicial circuit and appearances indicate that the division will continue. Friends of Judge Walker redoubled their efforts in his behalf in expressed belief that he Is the only man from Alabama who can wln the nomina- ton.
 Representative Underwood said he would call on Attorney General Gregory in Judge Walkers behalf within two or three days and Senators Bankhead and White are expected to present his name te President Wilson next Tuesday. Of the candidates outside the asprs,nts from Alabama, Senator Bryan of Florida seems to be the only one with any substantial backing and this support he Is strength ening daily, almost hourly Senator Bryan is a young man." he is el Wilson man. and he evidently is worker Of indomit- able energy in his own behalf. c.

and on the continent of Europe are approximately s6,000. 900. 900. But the view commonly held here is that either Sir George was mistaken or else his estimate or meaning has not been accurately reported. The figure generally named as the amount of American indebtedness to Great Brit ain and to continental countries. of Europe is s3.000 000.000 But mem bers of the federal reserve board. as well as some of the masters of foreign exchange. do not accept this estimate as correct It may be correct and on the other hand, it may be a good deal out of the way. It is deemed essential that there be obtained if possible q rairly accurate estimate of the total American obligations represented abroad by securities and by trade ob iigations. The only way in which an estimate can he secured is through the cooperation of bankers, merchants and exporters who, as a whole, repre- sent the entire United States. Even then the estimate can be more than approximate.
 A Special Feature
 The federal reserve board will prob |Abdly be glad to learn, if possible, pre- cisely what our aggregate debt IS as differentiated from subordinate fea- lures of it. For instance, can 1t De said that the total amount of Amer lean securities now in possession or investors of Great Britain and the con tinent of Europe really constitutes. a debt? It is true that these securities represent a loan of money made to the United States. but almost all or them have a long time, but almost all of them have a long time to run, and on the whole they are payable not at any one time but through series of years One of the leading members of the clearing house association said this morning that he was persuaded that Great Britain and the continent of Europe hold now American securities of the par value of $3,000, 100000. Very little of this is an obligation requiring g immediate payment.
 But a question for the federal board and those who are in conference with that board to consider is this; Will any considerable part of these American se- curities be sold or offered for sale pro- vided the great markets in the United States for transactions of that kind are open? Undoubtedly in Great Brit |ain and upon the continent of Europe

he must have regard for all his circnm-
