the preparation OF the protocol
Gen. Funston, who attended the 1ni-
tfaI conference in Juarez on Saturday,
was not present at the Tuesday meet
ing, nor was Andres G.. Garcia, the
Mexican consul in FL Paso. The first
report Of the meeting Of the two gen
erals. which was brought about with
a view to keeping the public in the
dark. gave forth the rumor that Gen.
Jacinto b Trevino was within the con-
ference. No one really knew who had
gathered in the McQuatters room un-
til the door opened at Il o'clock mid
night and McQuatters in the lead came
down the narrow hall Next walked
Gen. Oregon and then Gen. Scott. \
stenogra pher and an accountant from
the office OF Mr.. McQuatters completed
the procession.

At $50 in the evening Gen. Scott ana
Cen. ObreEon issued a brief statement
10 buov M the spirits Of the thirty
newspaper men gathered IN the corrl-
doris The message read:
we are still comforting IN spirit
Of mutual good will and hope to arrive
at a solution that will be SATISFACTORY
to both governments There VIII De
nothing more for the public
This statement was interpreted as
meaning that the conference was one
that bespoke \ protocol and that this
nrotocol would be submitted to both
Governments before a third confer
ence. and Immediately the newspaper
men scurried down the elevator shafts
and wired the news to the four corners
Of the world.

at the side entrance of the hotel. They
hurried through the lobby under a

After ten years Of examination OF

Hamilton Odell, George Gordon battlg

TO the Supreme Court that the city Is

ports increasing sl.576,4l1 900 over 1910
and imports $54l 100000. These hgures
indicate clearly why Great Britain mas
had TO sell her American investments
back to ua. in addition to obtaining
large credits and loans, and why her
allies have had to do likewise. Mean
while the export movement continues
undated and more foreign financing Is
to be expected. In the week Just closed
the French government arranged lot
collateral loan of $l00,0000OO with a
group of American bankers, and IL Is
not unlikely that Great Britain VIII
come here later on for more loans ana
credits. The flow of gold from Canada
was resumed last week, with hve ar
rivals of 100000 each. making more
than Sl6S.000,0O0 for the movement
hich began in May. Foreign eX-
changes were not much changed, with
sterling shade easier and marks
somewhat weaker. -,
Speculative Wall Street paid small
attention to developments outside the
district itself. Progress of the Allies
while regarded favorably, did not have
any perceptible effect on stocks, ana
similarly the improvement IN the
Mexican situation brought little re-
sponse. Likewise politics could hardly
have been said TO have been an inhu-
once in either direction.

COTTON GOODS MARKET
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Print Cloth Division Is Active in
Wider Varieties.

Fall River, July 16.-Trade in the
cotton goods markets showed a dis
tinct improvement last week, as mani
tested by the larger sales and broad
er inquiry. The print cloth division.
not the fine goods division. has shown
the improvement Buyers have been
bidding for more goods and have paid
full asking prices up to the levels OF
standards. Buyers would have wasted
their time If they had sought CON
cessions, because manufacturers were
bent upon full prices
Narrow goods have been dull. but
prices have remained firm. Cotton
yarn markets have been firm. and re
ports say that there IS still a demand
for weaving counts. Yarn mills have
done very good business. Total sales
for the week are estimated az 10000
pieces, Of which about $4,000 pieces are
spots. Contracts IN some instances will
run through September and October.
The week closed with the demand ra-
ther active and business moderate. The

BETHLEHEM CRITICISES
FEDERAL ARM0R PLANT
Quotes Sidney Brooks il
Message to Congress.

The Bethlehem Steel Company, in a
bold typed circular just mailed to mem
bers of Congress, protests that If a
government armor plant is built private
plants will become useless, and vital
reserve factor of safety IN national de
fence will have been destroyed. The
communication is signed by Charles NJ.
Schwab and Eugene q. Grace.
The circular quotes The advice Of Sid
ney Brooks, well known English writer,
TO American friends, as follows:
"For Gods sake. don't let yourself
get caught as we were caught. Remem-
Der that modern war calls for every
ounce of manufacturing efficiency a
country possesses. Had VIC depended
merely on our government arsenals.
with their slow moving, unbusinessllke
methods, we could not have maintained
even $4,000 soldiers in France.
The circular concludes:
"That is what Mr.. Brooks said. The
fact is that If a government armor
plant is built in the United States, II
will take care of all ordinary require
ments of the navy. If that should
transpire, the fact that our investment
will have been destroyed will he of

London Follows New York Lead.

Rise in money in this market has
brought a response IN London, where
the Bank Of England found 1t necessary
last week to raise the discount rate
from TO per cent. the first change
since the first week of the war. Wall
Street was deeply interested in the
development for more reasons than
one and looked upon it as one more
indication of New York's control over
The worlds financial markets. The
ste was taken by the bank in an ef-
fort TO retain American banking bal
ances in the London market and thus
TO protect its reserve and incidentally
help sterling exchange. Since the war
be eean many New York banks have
been maintaining large balances in
London TO take advantage Of the high
er interest rates prevailing there.
