viewed it, none could remember the

made of iron failed to stir up identi-

dents could remember such case.

NEW YORK. July 23.-The cratic and conflicting currents that have ap- peared in the stock market in recent weeks were again manifest today. Prices receded. although speculative issues yielded mainly from sheer in- ertia. public interest being at the low est ebb.
 The more favorable bank statement with it's strengthening of reserves. and the easier money market were more than counterbalanced by fresh concern. respecting the Russian situa- tion and the time-worn question ot war profits and taxes.
 Steamship shares were almost the only strong features of the half of the session. These gains were more than surrendered later as a result of Washington advice to the effect that the administration is to act with this country's allies in effecting a material reduction of prevailing marine freight rates.
 United States Steel reacted from its ton price of 123ls to 121, closing at a net loss of 1H points. the Bethlehem steels, new and old. fell 2% and three respectively and others of the same group an average of ? points. Oils yielded to 2% and sugars l to ?.
 Totals sales of stock amounted to 510000 shares.
 Bonds were irregular with free selling of Anglo-French 5's at a slight decline. the Liberty issues varying from 99:45 to 9949. Total sales, par value. aggregated S2.s25.00O.

LONDON, July 23.-A threatened general election was again averted when the house of common tonight by a three-to-one vote, defended the War dle amendment to the corn production bill, which the ministers had announ. ced their intention to treat as vote of confidence.

 MT Prothero said the average wage in 1909 and 1910 was F shillings 10 pense, and the increase to 25 would mean that during the operation of the bill the farmers would have to pay in increased wages e9.455,OO0.

 Wisdom in the
 Re-Draft of Laws
 The new government is re-drafting laws relating to finance, trade and in- dustry in such. a way as to facilitate the rapid economic development of Russia and allow broad expansion of her commercial and industrial life. Russia opens her arms to serious busi- ness men whose object is not traffic in concessions, but actual development and production, and for such her terms are sure to be liberal.
 America occupies a fortunate posi- tion in relation to the people Of this nation, who have been sentimentally touched by the evidence of American friendship and our quick recognition of the new government. President Wilson's address to congress, in which he set forth Americas attitude toward the war, has been recognized as prac- tically expressing the same views as are held by the provisional govern ment, and Tzeretelli, who is one of the leaders of the left, emphatically denied to the duma that his party was considering separate peace, and stated that it was an outrage against pa triotic men to attempt to place upon them the burden of such a position. The embassy and consulate officials are in close touch with the new gov ernment and everywhere Americans received the most courteous and cor dial attention.
 Absolutely No
 Separate Peace
 "The high commission which rus sia is sending to the United States should receive greatest consideration and the United States as well as Rus sia will benefit immensely by the in- formation which can be mutually eS- changed.
 "Wherever separate peace has been mentioned it has been howled down with indignation and, unless my judg- ment is entirely astray, Russia, as to- day constituted. is as little likely to make a separate peace as is the Unit ed States"

(Continued From Page One) Germans continued their violent bom- bardments of the French positions near Hurtebise and Craonne on Mon day. Near Cerny the French them selves took the initiative in a small operation and gained ground and cap tured men of the army of the German crown prince.
 Canadians Gaining.
 The Canadians have taken another hack at the German line protecting the coal fields south of Lens and again have apparently advanced their line Although the British commun- ication does not give the extent of the success, merely announcing that the troops reached their objective with slight losses. The Associated Press correspondent with the British forces says the Canadians forced their way to the second line of German defense along a front of 7e0 yards and bombed and destroyed positions and took pris- oners.
 On the other fronts there has been little activity. although further sue cesses have been gained by the Brit ish against the Germans in East Afri- ca and the Turks in Palestine.
