WASHINGTON, July 22.-Upon in- sistance by Senator Borah, the senate consideration of the interstate trade commission bill the first of the admin istration antitrust legislative meas ures.
 Earlier in the day the revised Clay ton bin to supplement the Sherman act was reported from the judiciary committee, but the interstate com merce committee, after an all-day ses- sion is not quite ready with the per iected measure to regulate the issu- ance of securities by common carriers. The securities bill was practically completed to the satisfaction of the majority and the revised text made public, after the committee had yield cd to Louis D. Brandeis and incorpor- oted a section which would make it unlawful for a common carrier to ac- quire any new lines without authorl- y given from the interstate commerce commission

WAR OFFICE SILENCE
 HAS PARIS NERVOUS
Reassured, However, by the Steady Files of Prisoners
 of War

Paris. September 20.-t6:55 D. m0 After becoming accustomed to good news during the days of the German withdrawal, Paris was made nervous through the silence of the war office
 Now the capital is treasured by the steady file of prisoners arriving from the zone of action. Saturday 1500 prisoners were brought here. Friday 1900 arrived, and on the preceding days since the Germans first fell back 1000 to 150o has been the daily aver age. More than 10000 prisoners are here.
 It is insisted here that there are continued indications that General Won Kluek's army is in critical situa- ton.
 British officers who returned from the zones of battle last night silent. under orders concerning the details of the fighting. Speaking in a general way one said:
 "The official statements of our sue cesses are much below the truth. This has been true ever since the retire. ment of the Germans from the region of the Marne.'
 The bombardment of the Cathedral of Rheims has raised strong protest, as 1t is declared the action cannot be Justified by any necessity of the war.

MILLS WILLING ID MAKE CONCESSIONS Steel Trade Finds Greatest Outlet in Agricultural
 Districts

New York. September 20.-The increas- ing necessity for business in steel pro ducts was reflected last week in the willingness of some mills to make price concessions on bars, plates, shapes sheets, tin plate and bilets for domestic as well as for foreign shipment. All mills, how ever. were not equally anxious for orders at price sacrifices and this resulted in more or less irregularity.
 The falling off in business was most marked in those lines where credit is relied on to facilitate transactions. Wire mills and other branches of trade that find their greatest outlet in the agricul- tural districts were relatively active but as whole the industry suffered from in- adequate orders and a decrease in spe- cifications.
 The Steel corporation produced ingots at the rate of 62 per cent of capacity, and independent steel companies opera tions averaged 10 per cent less. Some plants had less than 70 per cent of the ingot capacity active and further con traction in output seems inevitable.
 The fabricating shops experienced q dearth of new orders. The largest orders were for apartment houses and loft build ings in New York city, calling for 3loo tons of shapes Export orders were not conspicuous, although some additional sales of wire rods, nails. and wire were made and more inquiries were received for sheet bars, billets, rails structural shapes, tin plate and sheet
