his ship or not, II was felt in every
port in the world, and upon all the

Slight Price Advance Not Re-
suit of Professional
Struggle.

New York, July 1s.-BusIness was at
standstill In Wall Street today and the
traders struggled without avail to start
movement one way or the other.
The net result was slight victory for
those fighting for higher prices. The bear
party seemed to have exhausted its am
munition- Traders short OF stocks sought
to cover and In nearly every case were
compelled to pay higher prices. Only a
few active stocks yielded under attack
There are still thousands OF investors
carrying war stocks that show great
losses as compared with high prices, but
these people seem willing to hold on. be-
neving that cheap money, big earnings
and continuance OF the war will bring
about a marked revival in prices.
Crop reports are more satisfactory. The
fact that Germany has been able to re-
cord partial victories in the face of the
tremendous drives OF the allies, strength
ems the belief long held in high quarters
Of American finance that the war is
nearer its beginning than its ending.
Another factor in the renewed strength

 Tick Free By 1920

Little Rock, Nov. 23. It is ore dicted by State Veterinarian R, M. Cow that Arkansas will be tick-free by 1920, which will mean the saving of millions of dollars to the cattle industry of Arkansas. In the recent election the voters of Miller, Clark, Pike. Howard and Lafayette counties registered their vote for the sys- tematic eradication of the cattle tick. They did this voluntarily as no specific campaign was con- ducted to induce them to vote for 1t. By December this year at least six more counties will be added to the tick-free district oI the state.

DeShong GrocerC9. are unload ing a car of cotton seed meal. The price is right.

ped to handle It's business more prompt ly, the railroads will urge that the pc riod during which the commission may now suspend proposed increases in rates be reduced from ten months to 60 days, with provision for reparation to be paid to the shippers if the ad- vance shall be declared unreasonable.
 They will also ask that the commis- sion be given the power to prescribe minimum as well as maximum rates so that in meeting complaints of dis crinination the commission may order the advance of rate which it consid- CTS too low.
 One of the most important recom- nendations for which the railroads will ask favorable consideration is that the commission be specifically authorized to take into account in rate regulation the effect of rates upon total earnings in the liglt of ex- penses.
 While the Newlands Co~lmittee is required, under the resolution creat- Ing it, to submit report by January 2 next, it is not anticipated that the Committee will have come anywhere near completing its labors then.

LOOK FOR NEW ARMORY
According to Phoenix Yarn Landlord Virgins Raises
Rent to Get Even for Having to do His Share of Camp
Work

border, Virgins was permitted to re-
main at Ray in charge of the armory.
Subsequently conditions necessitated
but when Virgins was ordered to re-
Port at the front he did not do SO
promptly and sergeant and patrol
was detailed to take him from Ray t.
Douglas as a prisoner.
Arriving at the camp Virgins is
said to have sulked. It is a duty that
occasionally falls to all soldirs to as
sist the company cook as flunky,
with, among other duties, that Of peel
ing potatoes. Virgins refused to per-
form the flunky work and insisted
that he had not joined the militia for
such a purpose. Whereupon he was
sentenced to two weeks on the wood
pile.
His actions in camp gave rise to the
rumOr that his raise in rent of the
armory was in the nature Of a retail
alton with the Ray militia. From the
best indications Virgins has lost a
tenant and Company H. has lost their
home. Lettrs received here from Ray
