QUARANTINE MAY BE
 RAISED NEXT YEAR
Government Work Against Cattle Tick Has Been Very Effect
 i've in This County

J. s. Griffin of Sulphur Rock spent Saturday in town superin- tending the dipping of cattle at the vat here.
 Not very many cattle were dip- ped here Saturday but this is be- cause of the scarcity of ticks and not because of any opposition to the work. MT. Griffin says the farmers are becoming thoroughly interested in the work of eXter. minating the tick S and are coop erating with the government work in a most commendable manner. They have learned that the fever tickis a real menace, the extirmin- ation of which means better cattle and better prices for those who raise cattle for market.
 There are now eighteen dipping yats in the county and MT Griffin says he expects to see about six or eight new Yats constructed dur, ing during the coming fall and winter. With the completion of these new yats there will then be sufficient dipping stations to er- able every cattle owner to dip his cattle as early and often as requir- ed under the government regula- tions. The work has already been in progress in the county for about two years and has been very effective, ,andMr. Griffin thinks with these added facilities for carrying on the work the quaran- tine will be raised next year, and cattle raisers will then be free to ship cattle at any season of the year.

YOUNG MEXICAN
 FARMER KILLED
Quarrel Over SO Cents Adds An other to Long List of Jackson
 County Murders

Jim Nunez, a young Mexican farmer living near Kenyon, in Jackson county, was shot and kill ed early Sunday morning at a tim Der camp on Black liver about IS miles north of here.
 Will Sharp, a farmer living near the scene of the murder, has been arrested charged with the crime and is now in jail at Newport.
 It is said that while Nunez and Sharp were engaged in gambling Saturday night, they quarreled over 50 cents, which ended in Sharp quitting the game and leav- Ing the camp. About daylight Sunday morning Nunez left the camp and started to his home, and 1t seems that Sharp who left the camp Saturday night had gone to his home, and procured q shotgun and returned to the road which he knew Nunez would take. He hid behind tree and when the Mexican came along he opened fire on him, the first shot taking effect and killing him almost in, Sfanflv

0LDFIELD PATENT
 BILL IS APPROVED
House Committee Indorses Reform Measure Introduced by Our
 Congressman

Washington, July 20.-Congress- man 0ld6eld of Arkansas, chair man of house Patents Committee, has been authorized to favorably report to the house the Oldfeld patent bill.
 The first section of the bill seeks to amend the patent laws in such way as to prevent persons hold ing applications for patents in the United States Patent Office indefi- nitely by providing that every pa tent shall run 19 years from the date of the filing of the applica- tion, and in no case shall the pa- tent be longer than 17 years, the time fixed by the present law. This provision requires that applicants shall complete their applications and bring their cases to issue in two years from the date of filing.
 The second section provides that no action for infringement of patent rights will lie when a re- taller of q patented article cuts the price fixed by the manufactur- CT. This section also has a clause, which seeks to correct the evil laid down by the United States Supreme Court in the "Dick" mimeograph case in which the court declared that the manufac- turers of the Dick" mimeograph under the patent laws could com- pei the purchasers of their ma chimes to obtain the supplies used on same from them only, and this included unpatented articles, such as ink, paper, etc.
 Section three provides for a compulsory license clause in the patent statutes which will prevent the heretofore very common prac- tice of trusts and corporations op- erating under patents locking up their patents. This clause provides that when any person or corpora tion acquires patent for the pur pose or with the result of SUD- pressing competition, an applica- ton may be made to the federal court having jurisdiction for li- cense to manufacture the sup pressed patent. Any individual in- terested may take advantage of this provision and obtain license to manufacture any patent with held from the public for the pur- pose of suppressing competition, This section, however, is designed to not affect the original inventor unless he has entered into con- tract to suppress his invention,
 Mir. Oldfield expects to file his report within a few days, and be- lieves the public will be greatly benefited by this proposed legisla- ton.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, July 10.-Selling has not been so heavy and aggressive as 1t was right after the publication of the July bureau but the cotton market has been unset tied during the past week and prices have made new low ground for the movement with October contracts selling s5 per bale under the high records of June 1. The decline has been accompanied by more or less bearish talk in local circles, and predictions of still lower prices have evi- dently been encouraged by unfavorable trade advices, good weather over the greater part of the belt and an impress sion that the crop has continued to i'm prove since the government secured the data for the last condition report
 The smaller exports of cotton goods for June as shown by British board of trade returns and the talk of curtailment among domestic mills, leading to predic- tions of falling off in supply and dis tribution figures for the past month. have figured in bearish predictions but there has been some unea siness as to the crop outlook in Texas, where very little rain has fallen since the middle of June. Scat tering showers have been reported in that section during the past two or three days but they have not been sufficiently heavy or general entirely to relieve apprehen- sion, while some traders have taken the short time recommendations of the gov erning committee of the International Spinners' Federation as indicating slack
 immediate demand

MAKE LOW RECORDS FOR |. & O. AND N. H. Many Sales of Minor Inter-
 national Railway Stocks
 for Future Delivery

New York, July 10.-Investment issues today began to show the cumulative effect of continued heavy selling of Gould is- sues, New Haven and Chesapeake and Ohio, and other low priced securities. These and other stocks and bonds estab- 1ished new low records. The declines in New Haven and Chesapeake were espe- cially noteworthy because they savored strongly of liquidation.
 Another unusual feature was the record ing of many sales of minor international railway stocks for future delivery. The fact that these sales were made flat or without interest pending actual delivery, indicated that foreign holders were press ing the sale of American securities. Much of this class of trading was traced to Amsterdam but London, Berlin and Paris also sold altogether to the extent ol about 25,000 shares.
 London's own markets were heavy, on revival Of Ulster troubles. with money and discount rates higher.
 The local market was weakest in the final hour, when selling of the market leaders at concessions overshadowed pre- vious dealings in the unimportant stocks The speculative favorites fell to points on fairly large trading, with little or nc recovery. The character of the general market may be guaged from a 20 point decline in the bonds of Chicago and East ern Illinois railroad, whose affairs are involved in the St. Louis and San Fran cisco receivership.
 Another heavy cash loss by local banks is looked for tomorrow with further en- croachment on reserves.
 Total bond sales, par value, H H,423, 900. United States government bonds were un- changed on call.

COTTON CLOSESAT 5TO 1OPO|NTS GAIN Short Covering Main Sus. taining Influence in the
 Cotton Market

New Orleans, July 1o.-Short covering was the main sustaining influence in the cotton market today. It was stimulated by drouthy conditions in Texas and was met only by slender offerings. Bulls called the market oversold. At the best of the day the more active months were 10 to Il points over the final figures of yesterday. The close was at a net gain of to 10 points.
 In the morning the market went to a net decline of to points on selling. based on poor cables and reports of rains in Texas. These reports proved not to be we'll founded and sellers of the morn ing turned buyers in the afternoon. Not only did the map indicate dry weather in Texas, which detailed reports cor roborated, but the forecast promised con- tinued dry weather. It was a weather market with the main features rather against aggressive trading on the short side.
 The weekend figures were bearish but they had no influence on the market.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 10.-(Special. )-Cables this morning were lower owing to re- ports of further showers in Texas, and our market responded to these advices by selling early at the low price of the day.
 There was, however, a good trade de- mand, and it appeared that liquidation had pretty we'll run its course. despite the favorable crop reports which came to hand from well known authority.
 There was sufficient arbitrage buying from Liverpool to steady the market early but subsequently prices improved some IS points, when 1t was found that the rain fall in Texas was by no means general and except at one or two points was in the nature of light showers.
 The market shows a distinctly better undertone, and it would seem but natural t" expect Q better demand for forward cotton at this level
 As to the weather, 1t is our opinion that so far Texas has not had thorough relief, while the Atlantic Is getting rather too much moisture.
 We are therefore of the opinion that the market is likely to be steadier In tone and probably somewhat higher in price in the immediate future.

 HAND BY UNION|STS

Belfast, Ireland. July 1o--The pro- visional government formed by the Ulster unionists at its first meeting today gave Sir Edward Carson a free hand to take whatever action he may think necessary as to calling the Ulster volunteers to arms The men were declared ready for concentration at a notice of a moment.
 Sid Edward Carson, in an address, said the time had come for the loyalists of
 Ulster to translate their words into &C., ticn. He said soms sthng must be done
 to compel the British government to make up its mind
 Ulster, he concluded, was anxious for peace, but was not going to accept peace with surrender attached.
 Sir Cecil MacReady, major general. who Is in command of the military in tho Belfast district has been in conference with Premier Asquith regarding tho sit- us ton, and the police have been instructed to act with great care. so as to give no excuse for an outbreak.

FURTHER SHOWERS IN THE SOUTHWEST August and October Con- tracts LOwer-COlse at
 an Adavnce

New York. July 10.-After an opening decline which carried August and De- tober contracts into new low ground for the movement. the cotton market today closed very steady at net advance of ? to 12 points.
 Private reports indicating further scat tering showers in the southwest caused some selling in Liverpool before the local opening and the market here started at a decline of 1 to points fin response to cables. Offerings. however, were much less active and general than earlier in the week. leading to claims that the mar lSet had been pretty well liquidated. Prices soon turned steadier on covering local bull support, and talk of an im- proving trade demand around the 12 cent level.
 yhe western belt forecast for generally fair weather, probably promoted the ad- vance, while the detailed weather report for the Houston district did not indi- cate that the precipitation had been at all general. The buying was not az gressive, but recent sellers seemed in clined to take profits for over the week. end
 Some realizing was encountered as the market worked upward, owing to profit taking by early buyers, but was read fly absorbed closing prices were within point of of the best.
 December contracts to the advance, sell ing 21 points above the low level of Wednesday and there seemed to be con tinued selling of October against pur- chases of later months. Liverpool and New Orleans houses were both buyers of new crop months here on the early decline and spot house brokers bought December on the afternoon. Advance weekend arguments were about as ex- pected.

HEAV|NESS IN WHEAT
 MOST OF THE DAY
Black Rust Fear Figures Largely-Close 1-2c to
 3-4c Under

Chicago. July 1o-skepticism in regard to chances of widespread damage by black rust today brought about lowering of values in wheat. The market, although steady at the close, was isc to ssG&c un- der last night. Corn finished lsdiAc off to ssc up. Oats. lsaSsc higher, and pro- visions unchanged to rise of 20.
 There was decided heaviness in wheat most of the day. Selling was much in- huenced by seemingly excellent assur- ance that unless the black rust spread rapidly within the next 10 days, the spring crop would be out of danger.
 Corn was a typical weather market Considerable weakness was shown finally as result of dispatches telling of rains in Texas and Oklahoma. Brisk cash de- mand lifted the price of oats. Shorts covered freely Provisions ruled firm. ow- ing to the scantiness of hog receipts and high prices for feed.
 Future uuotatipns were IS follows.

SUPPLIES SHORT
 ON MORRIS AVENUE Fruit and Vegetables Are Scarce-Trade Heavier
 Than Anticipated

The wholesale produce houses on Morris avenue have run short on many lines of fruits and vegetables, supplies proving inadequate to meet the weekend trade. Many varieties of vegetables have suf- fered from the drouth, and the jobbers were thus unable to supply the demand. Canteloupes and watermelons have been plentiful this season, and the dealers have been well supplied all this week, but the weekend trade has been such as to ''clean up the melon supply in this in stance. The melon shortage is regarded as only temporary, however, and the market will probably be abundantly sup piled Monday
 Poultry and eggs are plentiful, and the demand is heavy.
