had the district out of the class of the prospects, but 1t has taken the rapid development of a number of other properties to properly call the fact to the attention of the eastern capitalist and investor.
 We are surprised and pleased at the number of small investors being in- terested in Jerome properties. said Burns yesterday. While one ordinarily would expect eastern capital to come in in large blocks, 1t is also true that from the east we got many of the class of numerous Arizona buyers, who take up small blocks of stock.
 Strikes are momentarily expected on the Arkansas and Arizona, and oth- CT properties. l understand the Venture Hill shaft was put into vein matter seven feet wide and carrying a three foot vein of copper sulphides the other day. This Is but one instance of the development, however The camp is on the qui vive for the next strike which may come on any one of a hall dozen properties. It will take just about one more good strike to put Jerome permanently on the eastern money map"
 The population is growing and busi- ness of all sorts is booming. con. fidently expect copper prices to remain strong, and see no reason to believe anything, even the sudden cessation oi ;he European war, can hurt our pros perity."

 Corn: On the breaks. the buying side looks better. HARRIS WINTHROP says: Wheat is subject to sharp swings because Of 1 conflicting influences. but so long as the European situation does not change
 materially, we believe there will be demand for wheat on the breaks.

TRADE CONDITIONS

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-Tomorrow Bradstreets will say:
 "Consumption continues to overtax production. yet there are few halt . ing signs. such. for instance, as less feverishness in pig iron. possibly due to the fact that prices are up all around. and diminished buying of some food products that have been subjected to boycotts. But over and beyond such cross currents as have developed are evidences that holiday buying is of enormous proportions that numerous industries are impeded by inability to get sufficient cars either for receiving or sending ou; products. that jobbers as well as wholesale purveyors of staple mer- chandise are making record breaking sales, that wages as well as dividend keep going up. and that investment securities continued to be absorbed on large scale.

Baltimore, July IA series of

were the filling of its water tanks

Lloyd steamer Nickar nearby. Since
its arrival two weeks ago the Deutsch-

the Nickar.
Shortly after the water tanks had

noticed coming from behind the
barges that screened the Deutsch-
land from view, and directly at its
stern. The wind blowing from the

Irish Question is
At Acute Stage

London, July 24.-An acute stage
has been reached in the Irish ques-
ton. Unless the situation suddenly
changes doubt is expressed whether
the government will be able to intro
duce ali amending bill this week as
had been promised.
The nationalist members of Par
Lament are holding another meeting
today and unless satisfactory an
swer is received from Premier AS
quith, John Redmond, leader of the
Irish nationalists, will be asked to
press him for further statement re-
garding the intentions of the govern
rnent. The nationalists insist that
the bill shall conform to the terms
agreed upon in the settlement, and
they say they will have nothing to do
with the proposals to make the exclu-
sion of the province of Ulster perma-
nent or to reduce the Irish rcpresen-
tation in the imperial Parliament
pending the final settlement.
In addition to the Irish subject, the
government will have many questions
to engage its attention during the
week. Critics OF the cabinet will at
tempt to prolong the debate on the
bill for the appointment of commit
tees to investigate the campaigns in
the Dardenelles and Mesopotamia,
while the introduction by Premier
Asquith today of a new vote of credit
will open a general debate on the con-
duct of the war.

Carranza Prepares Mew Laws for
Foreigners in Business in Mexico

Another provision is designated to
fix uniform period for all the long
or unlimited contracts, leases or con-
cessions in which foreign capital is
interested and that at the end of this
period they will be considered subject
only to the authority OF the Mexican
government, deprived of the right of
appeal for protection to their respec-
tive governments.
These measures, it is understood,
are to be incorporated in the Mexican
constitution, when the constitutional
assembly meets in Queretaro in the
near future, and it is the belief of First
Chief Carranza and his advisers that
they will suffice to avoid the danger
OF complications with European pow
crs and as a natural sequel will lift

RETRENCHMENT IS

Halt Is Called in the Senate on
the Cutting Down Of Appro-

Anti Preparedness Arguments

my INCREASES MAD!
TOWNSEND FLAYs WILSON

Washington, July 24.-The senate
today called halt on wholesale re-
ductions begun Saturday in the army
appropriation bill, voting down re-
trenchment proposals and approving
increases totaling more than $30,000,-
600 when sections were reached car
rying provisions for ordnance and
equipment for the regular army and
national guard.
Debate on the ordnance sections
developed predominating sentiment
that it would be unwise to limit ex-
penditures for ammunition and guns
too closely, despite the lessening of
tension in the Mexican situation.
Decreases of $36000,000 ordered
Saturday related to transportation,
subsistence, foreign service pay and
emergency estimates put into the bill
by the house when the Mexican situa-
ton was critical. Today's increases
included.
Here Are Increases.
For medical supplies, increase from
$2,000,000 to $4,500000; engineers
equipment 100000 to $l,770OO;
ordnance stores, $6,000,000 to $l1, ,000,-
900; automatic machine guns for regu-
lar army $3.600,000 to $7,725,000; au-
tomato machine guns for national
guard, $2,000,000 to $6,5S6, $50; ar
mored motor cars, 100000 to $1,000,
600; field artillery for national guard,
$S,000,000000 to $14,20O,000; ammuni-
tion for natiopal guard field artillery,
$S,000,000 to $l4,000,000.
In the item for small arms ammuni-
ton, the senate approved reduction
from $5000,0O0 to $2,50O,000, but sew
eral senator's said they would insist
on another vote on the section before
final passage of the bill. The measure
may be passed tomorrow, although
several important items remain for
consideration, including the $l3,28l,-
600 proposed for aviation, an increase
of $l0,000,000 over the house appro-
priation.
During the debate today Chairman
Chamberlain of the military commit
tee aroused by anti-preparedness ar
guments by Senator Norris, vehe1tl-
entity arraigned" senator's who, he
asserted constantly intimated that ad-
vocates of preparedness were in a
conspiracy with munitions makers and
others who profit by war. He defend
ed the patriotism and honesty of the
champions of preparedness in con-
gress. Senator Townsend assaied on
the administration of Mexican policy,
asserting that the national guard had
been called to the border under false
pretenses" and that diplomatic cor
respondence had disclosed that there
never was any intention of sending
state troops into Mexico.
