CONCESSIONS
ARE SCORED EASILY
Demand for Stocks Meager Due
to Fear of Trouble in Latest
Diplomatic Tang|e.

NEW YORK. Sept 1.-THE reopening
of the Teutonic-American diplomatic
clash caused among traders today a
fear of unfavorable developments over
the week end. and led to curtailment
Of commitments. While the liquidation
was not spirited. the demand for stocks
was SO meager that price concessions
were easily scored.
Throughout the industrial list there
were declines that ranged from " to
more than a full point. with a few in
stances among specialties OF much
heavier losses. The railroad issues re-
acted only lightly.
The investing public continued TO find
In the word decrease" as embraced
sued Yesterday by the United states
Steel Corporation, a cause for disap-
pointment. and all OF the steel stocks
were under pressure. United states
Steel common sold off 1 point, but re-
covered a half of the decline before the
close. which was at 74l.. Bethlehem,
the stock that for two days had scored
points on q single sale to 3l2. and
Crucible was down 2 points, but made a
fractional recovery.
Apparently the public did not stop to
weight the statement of the Steel Cor
poration. or 1t would have been realized
that decrease OF 10000 tons in un-
filled orders represented less than half
a days output CT the corporation.
Motor stocks. also exceptionally
strong in recent trading, proved an
other soft spot in the market. General
Motors dropped ~ points to 255 and

w. o. Broyles Talks on Furniture, Mule Skin
 and Mattresses

to say that at last I got the order and made a permanent customer and boost CT. I take the position that it Is fair that purchasers of leather goods should know the kind and quality thereof and will use my influence towards having all leather offered for sale stamped, showing kind and quality. Certainly the hides of some animals are better than others.
 Manufacturers design such furniture as the retail dealer buys. It is the deal CTS at last that set the styles that adorn and make our homes beautiful and they should endeavor to rise higher in pub lie esteem and favor and get away from the soubriquet of Devil without horns"
 My motto is to cut the price, kill im- polite clerks and instruct those retained to call mule skin" canvas and filthy, dirty linters (commonly called cotton) by their right name.
 I heard a dealer say that if he ex- plained explicitly to prospective custo mers the kind of cotton his mattresses contained, and what was meant by the term Imperial leather, that he would lose business. but I take issue with him, so come on down to the big furni- ture house of w. o. Broy1es and you will meet the most polite bunch of price, cutters in town and they call mule skin canvas.

 Colonel Jay was born in New York city in 1S41, and studied at Columbia university He served in the war be tween the states and in April, 1865, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant of volunteers for gallant and meritor- ious service during operations result ing in the fall of Richmond and the surrender of General Lee" He began the practice of law in New York a few years later. Besides being vice president of the New York Herald company he was director of Com mercial Cable company and a number of other corporations. He also was a senior warden and clerk of Trinity church.

GERMANY CONFIRMS SINKING OF DRESDEN
 IN NEUTRAL WATERS
tContinued from Page One)

British contempt for the rights of neu- tral states so long as the chief object was attained-to destroy man of war flying the flag of Great Britain's enc mics.
 If after this neutral government protests on paper, British diplomacy possibly condescends to express regret, but this is only unimportant detail whereas England's naval officer may be sure that his brutal contempt for neutrality finds the full approval of the British government, his orders be- ing to destroy German cruiser wherever he may find her This in- struction was included in an order not to consider the sovereign rights of neutral states.
 How brutally Chilean neutrality was violated is proved by the fact that the shells of the British cruisers nearly hit a Chilean ship and that splinters fell on Chilean territory which prac- ucally amounts to the bombardment of neutral Chilean port by British cruisers because a German cruiser was inside.
 "Thls is practical evidence as to what extent Great Britain is standing up for the weak, especially neutral nations as advertised by the British cabinet members. Chile Is unable to defend Itself. More interesting, however, Is what attitude the United States govern ment will adopt in the face of such a violation of the neutrality of a South American republic. Also what the neu- tral states of Europe will have to say to the profession of faith exhibited by British guns off Juan Fernandez that no neutral waters or territory ex- ist for the British navy in war times"

sible territorial concessions. From the highest sources here it is affirmed that everything done in this line was due to Germanys initiative
 The action of the German ambassa- dor to Italy, Prince Von Bueloy, it is said, was animated by desire to elim- mate the causes of the ancient antag- Onism between Austria and Italy, but even the work of the former imperial chancellor of Germany in this direc- ton was cautious, so that decided statements which have appeared in one sense or the other were premature.
 This, prominent Italians point out, Is why Italy vigorously continues her extensive military preparations, not knowing what the future may bring when, next May, according to the most reliable opinions, the European war will take a definite turn.
 The council of ministers yesterday did not discuss the international sit uation. The ministers considered pro posed rules to prohibit the publica- tion of news of a military character, q. plan for partial reopening of the stock exchange and measures for the benefit of the unemployed

Being desirous of seeing the furniture business lifted to higher plane, I wrote an article for publication describ- ing in detail the fraud and deception that is being practiced on the unsus- pecting public in the sale of insanitary and disease mattresses and since doing so, have assurances that the present legislature will pass a law re- quiring that all mattresses be labeled, showing exactly the kind and quality of contents and I will also try to prohibit the making over of second hand mat tresses unless they are labeled, Second hand Made Over.
 We now have to contend with another form of deception by imitation leather (painted canvas) being called mule skin." Should it be permissible to spread a mixture of pulverized bark on a piece of canvas and call it mule gkin?"
