Chicago, Jan 1s.r--Engiand was a

market to q decidedly huh affair. The
news from Great Britain was fnainly

last few days OF last week, and while
the buying was not az strong rs was
seen week or ten days ago, the buy
Ing on the whole was better than
the selling. The feature OF the situ-s
alton on several days Of last week
was the fact that bull longs. instead of
giving the market mitch needed sup
wheat that they cared to dispose Of
and some OF the believers tn lower
prices followed the declines and sold
freely.
There are SOME conditions sur

ENGLAND IS MAKING DYES.
Hopes to supplant German Anilins
and Vegetable Colors.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LEEDS, England, February 15.-The
directors Of the British Dyes Company.
which hopes to supplant the German
dye makers in the production Of ami
line colors, are pushing the construc-
ton of their mammoth factories on the
250-acre site allotted them by the Brit
ish government at Huddersheld. A
considerable part of the new works
will be in operation during the spring
In the meantime the production OF
vegetable dyes in Great Britain has
greatly increased. and aniline dyes are
being made at home In smaller factor
les and imported in unprecedented
quantities from Switzerland. AS Eng
land formerly sent the raw materials
of the aniline dyes to Germany to be
returned to her as the finished product
SO now she is sending these raw mate
rails to Switzerland. and many British
dye users have signed contracts to con-
tinue the import of Swiss dyes even
after the war Is over.

Street." was convicted on evidence
which disclosed that he impersonated
former Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer, in telephone conversations
with some prominent Wall street men.
the intent Of which. the government
alleged, was to defraud ]. P. Morgan &
Co.

ing of the law. The courts action to-
day postponed execution of two-year

BIG PRICES FOR SHIPS.
Demand for Vessels Up-0cean
Freight Carrying Trade Increases.

The demand for vessel property. in
stead Of showing any signs of diminu-
ton, continues to grow. and prices
now being paid for vessels of all
classes are out of all proportion to
their original cost. but made by the
call for ocean-going tonnage. A re-
cent sale reported is that OF the four
masted coasting schooner William H.
Clifford by Percy & Small Of Bath. Me-.
to southern owners 10. $4,000. The
vessel was built at Bath in 1895, more
than twenty years ago. She is ap-
preaching the age limit for vessels of
her class, but. Notwithstanding this.
she brought almost as much as 1t cost
to build her. The Clifford registers
1888 gross tons. Is 221.6 feet long. 1875
feet beam and 1876 feet deep in the
hold.
The steamship Porto Rico Of the Bal
timoreNew York line was last week
sold by her owners to $. II. Baker of
New Orleans. The purchase price was
not given out. but is known to have
been a large sum. The Porto Rico was
built at Cleveland. Ohio. in 1899. and is
said to be the only American ship bear
ing the name of our insular possession.

Birds in the War Zone.
From Forest and Stream.

From Forest and Stream.
Experiments and observation made in
between times at the various European
battle fronts by bird-lovers have re-
vealed some striking characteristics OF
the feathered broods that have not
been frightened from their accustomed
haunts by the war. 1t Is shown that
crows, from generations Of experience,

as much distance as possible betweeI
themselves and the trenches.
Many Of the soldiers have canaries in
their trenches. and have conducted nu-
merous experiments with them. Usu-

extent of the wild song birds that
abound, especially along the French
front.
The birds. OF course. display a sharp
