Who Cannot Strike.

1t is gratifying to know that at last
Congress is obtaining an intelligent un-
derstanding of the needs of the postal
service and its employees. In large
measure this has been accomplished
through the persistent efforts Of repre-
sentative postal organizations, which,
unlike labor unions, cannot use the pos
sible power of strike. We must appeal
alone TO the intelligence and the sense
Of Justice of the representatives OF the
people. At times this has seemed such
a slow process that it has sorely tried
the patience of postal organizations,
hut the wisdom of such policy over
methods radical but ineffective is being
proven. Congress has learned to rely
upon the integrity and expert advice
of the various officers of the postal or
Plantations in determining new legisla-
ton. While the Railway Mail Associa-
ton works TO improve the industrial
conditions of the railway postal clerks,
vet one Of its Fundamental principles
has always been to seek the welfare Of
the service itself-The Railway Post
office, organ Of the Railway Mail Asso-
citation.

ENGLAND HAS LITTLE
STEEL COMMON LEFT
She Has Sold Greater Part OF
Holdings. Say Bankers.

Wall Streets belief that England has
little Steel common left TO dump in
this market was strengthened yester-
day by the publication OF the dollar
collateral behind the new s25O,OOO.0OO
British loan, which will be offered 70
American investors to-day. Bankers
pointed to the absence OF Steel from
the list of industrial issues as one OF
the best indications that Great Brit
ain has disposed Of the major part OF
its holdings. The recent rise in the
stock-it went yesterday TO q new
high price Of 97h-is another indiea-
ton that the fear Of foreign selling is
becoming more remote.
More than so per cent OF the COM
mon stock Of the Steel Corporation
held abroad before the war had been
returned 70 this country at the end
of March this year. This was an
nounced at the annual meeting OF
stockholders in April.
On March 81, 1914, foreign holdings
of Steel common were 1,2s5,636 shares.
Two years later they had been cut
practically in half. Since tho publ
cation of these figures 1t is believed
that further heavy sales have taken
place for foreign account. According
to one report, which has never been
publicly denied, large block was
taken over by strong group OF wall
Street interests.

Cotton

Cotton prices scored small net gains
yesterday, having lost nearly all of an
early advance that had carried many
deliveries up to new high marks. Buy
ers for foreign account and for big
trade interests were active at the start.
This demand was stimulated mainly by
the strength in Liverpool and by the
failure of the weather map to show the
hoped for rains in the belt. Only light
showers were reported at few scat
tered points. The drouth was un-
broken in Texas and Oklahoma, and
those states sent complaints of heavy
shedding Of the crop. The rumored
private report giving a crop condition
Of only 65 per cent was made public. 1t
compared with 1871 per cent month
ago, and suggested a crop of only H.
100000 bales. The establishing of new
high marks served TO dampen bulllsh
ardor somewhat, and proft-taking sales
in large volume followed. II was prl-
vately reported that showers had fallen
in Texas and Oklahoma, and the out
look was regarded as favorable for ad-
ditional precipitation and lower tenn
peratures all over the Southwest.

the French market remains firm.
The betterment in the rating of So

Metals.-Formal announcement was
made yesterday of the American Loco
motive order from the Italian govern
ment. 1t is for sixty locomotives and
is the largest contract of this character
placed by Italy since the beginning Of
the war. On the steel market "The
Daily Iron Trade Review" said: pitts
burgh sheet manufacturers predict ad-
vances in sheet bars will be reflected
soon in sheets and hesitate to open
books TO automobile builders until the
market settles. Nuts and bolts have
been advanced about 5 per cent, but
rivets have not been affected, although
all factories are under heavy pressure
for delivery. More large tonnaees of
steel making pig iron are being placed
quietly in the Middle West, while some
furnaces sell foundry iron far into
next year" Copper producers are pre-
dieting another advance in the metal
before the end of the week, as produc-
ton up to the end of the year is al
ready heavily sold.

cipal metals and metal products, COM

were not quite up to expectations.
Still, they led to more liberal offer

Holding Company Only.

The unfortunate difficulty with this
company is that it is purely hold
ing company. The shareholders of
the NJ. VI. do not own the stocks
Of the White Star or Atlantic Trans
port and other British, French and
Dutch companies, directly; the stocks
Of these companies form the property
on which the l. NJ. NJ. stocks are based.
They have property rights over the
stocks, but not over the tangible
property represented by the latter.
The result is that as stockholders
they have no direct voice in the man
igement OF the steamship companies.
Their tangible properties are regu-
lated BY tho laws Of Great Britain,
or Holland, or the United States, as
the case may be. According TO the
new shipping bill, before the British
Parliament, "any company, whether or
not registered in Great Britain, the
majority Of the directors of which are
foreigners, or the voting control of the
stock Of which Is exercised by for
tigners, will not be permitted to ac-
quire any interest in British ship

Comm ditie s

in the recent past, and the opening ad-
v .ce carried prices to new high levels.
Shortly thereafter they broke from
3 to 81 cents with striking rapid
ity. Hence the days OF erations re-
suited in a small loss in Chicago and
losses of from | to cents in the
Northwest, although sharp recovery
late in the afternoon had nearly evened
matters up for time. With prices
moving into new high ground nearly
every day, there has come a notice
able lessening of enthusiasm on the
buying side. There seems TO be more
of a tendency TO pause and wait Tor
new developments. IL is true that the
Liverpool market was strong yesterday,
and that largely accounted for our ini-
tial buoyancy. Otherwise, there was
little or nothing new in the early news.
OF course, more talk was heard as 10
damage by rust and blight in the
Canadian Northwest, but reports OF
this kind seem 10 have become some
what stale. II is evident that some
thing else is needed to encourage fresh
buying at such high levels. There is
no doubt that large long interest has
been built up on the recent material
advance, and fresh support must be
forthcoming if present levels are to be
maintained when any general effort IS
made TO liquidate the heavy holdings.
Yesterday the effect of heavy realizing
sales was offset for time by reports
that sales of nearly two million bushels
had been made to exporters, embracing
Manitoba, durum and hard winter
wheat How sensitive the market has
become to news of a depressing nature
is clearly shown by the fact that the
big break in values was brought about
almost wholly by the belief that Ru-
mania would loin the Entent Allies.
Timid holders jumped Immediately to
the conclusion that this meant a speedy
opening of the Dardanelles and a re-
sultant flooding of European markets
with Danubian and Russian wheat
Some claim that Russia is in a posi-
ton 70 ship over 300,000,00O bushels.
OF course, if such a quantity begins
TO pour out Of the Black Sea the ques-
ton of wheat supplies in Europe's i'm
porting countries is solved at once.
The solution may be long ways Oft.
Rumors that the Dardanelles had been
CAPTURED have been heard from time TO
time ever since the campaign started
in that region. For that reason some
keen observers believe that the decline
was 10 a great extent uncalled for
They also viewed with suspicion the
pronounced weakness in Winnipeg. A
was the case last week when Liver
pool declined so radically, whispers
were heard that the whole matter had
been officially managed for the purpose
of providing a cheaper basis for
purchases. OF course, the heavy buy
ing of the actual grain after prices
had dropped over four cents lent color
to this gossip.

SCHOOL ELECTION
 DRAWS 5. VOTES

Indications at 8 o'clock this after noon were that record breaking vote would be cast in the school election in the Conway district. At that the tremendous total of five persons had taken the trouble to go to the polls at the courthouse and cast their votes. The judges were confidently expecting at least one or possibly two others to be boiled before 6:30 o'clock.
 The election officials, five in num- Der, whose services were secured with difficulty this morning, and Circuit Cleark A. M. Ledbetter, who swore them in, had voted, bring the total to II at 8 o'clock, but only five other voters had visited the polls. The cleo tion is being held by M. c. Canada, D. Harrison and B. c. Dougan, judges, and John McCollum and T. c. Ray, clerks.
