RAP
 QUOTATIONS DOWN
Market Opens Strong But Soon
 Runs to Low Figures

Wall Street-Prices rallied very de- cidedly at the opening of today's stock market from the general de- pression which characterized yester- days final operations. Evidence of short covering was seen in the equip ments, shippings, oils and motors and rails, also moderate improvement. The strongest features at advances of 1 to almost points, included Chand- Ter, Studebaker and General Motors, Baldwin Locomotive, Industrial AL cohol, Mexican Petroleum Marine Preferred, Crucible Steel, Peoples Gas and Tobacco Products U. S. Steel gained only fraction. Beet Sugar United Fruit and the Coppers were backward.
 Early improvement proved only stocks causing sharp declines which carried steels and the war group un- der minimum prices of the previous session. U. s. Steel was the center of vigorous drive, reacting 1 IA points. Bethlehem, Crucible and Lackawanna Steels recorded extreme reversals of 1 to 3A points and related shares fell back
 Rails were steady except New York Central The setback bore the famil- jar marks of professional pressure
 Bonds were irregular the Liberty issue, however, selling at premiums.
 Automobiles and steamship shares yielded to further liquidation in the afternoon and St. Paul manifested fresh signs of weakness Other rails and standard industrials maintained a frmer stand on the greatly diminished offerings.
 Closing-Except for general motors which reacted more than six points, the market hardened all around in the listless final hour. The closing was firm Liberty bonds ruled st par and at 100 $50. Sales approximated 6OO,O0O shares.

WEEK IN WAR ZONE
 SEEMS LIKE A YEAR
Joseph Roy Wounded Four Times But Not Seriously-Big Guns
 Like EarthQuakeS.

Writing to his sister, Mrs. Julia R. LaFlamme of 33S Main street, from Somewhere in France" Joseph Roy, member of the Third Brigade, Cana dian Field Artillery, formerly of this city, gives a graphic description of the European warfare.
 No words can picture,' he says, "the details of modern warfare and the feelings of those near at hand. The discharge of the big guns causes 8 sensation similar to\ an earthquake. A week here seems like a year in ordinary surroundings"
 . Roy enlisted May of last year at Montreal and has seen much service about Ypres and other historic bat tlef1elds. He writes he is as well as can be expected and anticipates being able to return after the war is over. He was wounded four times in the battles but has thus far escaped in- juries resulting seriously. His letter is written on the letter head of the Canadian Y. M. c. A., and bears the inscription of Mothers Day"

CROP PROSPECT IN
 GERMANY IS POOR

Government Severely Criticized for
 Optimistic Report, Creating False
 Hopes Among People.
 Copenhagen, July 6.-The German governments over-optimistic report on the crop prospects, which were declared on June 25 to be really brilliant" were sharply criticized yesterday by speakers in the Reich stag ways and means committee. The government was accused of giving the people a false view of the situa- ton, arousing unreliable hopes. Prince Won Schoenaich- -Carolath, a national liberal, himself a farmer, de- clared roundly that the official ar ticle had misrepresented the facts and tended to give rise to foolish ex- pectations at a time when 1t was inn possible to know what the crop re- suits would be.
 This speaker corroborated the charges of the socialist deputy Ebert, made at Tuesdays session on the food and fuel situation. He alluded to the utter confusion in the food regulation measures and declared the situation aroused great depression and bitterness.

BOOZE FIGHT NEAR END
Prohibition Section of Food Bill May Be Disposed of by Senate Before Midnight.

Washington, July 6.-Final disposi- ton by tonight of the prohibition is sue was forecast when the food con- trol bill was again taken up in the senate today.
 It was strongly indicated that the so-called scompromise,' providing only that distillation of foodstuffs for intoxicating beverages shall cease, would be adopted by a big majority. This proposal is intended as a sub stitute for the Gore amendment pro- hibiting manufacture of distilled bev- ;erages during the war and authoriz- ing the president to suspend manu- facture of malt, fermented and vinc- ous intoxicants.
 The food bill was taken up in the senate under an agreement to begin consideration of the prohibition sec ton at o'clock this afternoon with debate limited.
 Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the bill hopes to reach another agree nlent for a final vote on the bill it. self by next Wednesday or Thursday.

SUNDAY GREATEST
 LITTLE PRESS AGENT
Even F. T. Barnum Himself Couldn' t Beat $815, 200 in Free Publicity
 in New York.

in New York.
 New York, July 6.-New York's newspa pers gave Billy Sunday $815, 200 worth of publicity for his cam paign, so ''The Editor and Publisher" figures. This is counting the space at $1 a line, the lowest rate for reading In some of the papers it runs as high as $1.50. The measurement is in agate lines, the usual method followed
 The publicity he obtained may be worked out about as follows: There are sixteen daily newspapers in the city. The length of the columns vary from 28O to 305 agate lines. and about 215 lines when measured in the body type of the paper
 There is no standard to the New York column, either to length or width Pages will average, however. about 2,400 lines. Therefore, every page he received was worth at least S2,400
 The sixteen papers gave him from three-quarters of a column to two columns daily, an average of about one and one-half columns day, or 450 lines of agate, each if measured ] as advertising matter 7,2O0 lines In all of thes paper, or little matter of $7,200 daily.
 This amounts to something like $50, 400 a week, and for the thirteen weeks approximately $655,200, at $1 a line. Of course, some of the papers did not print Sundays, but the papers that did ran special Sunday features, sometimes as much as a page, which would prOba blv make up the total There is no way of getting the infor- nation exactly, since no one kept track of it, and these figures are an estimate at best, based on what was printed on the average every day. But there was publicity in addition to the amount given during the thir- 1 teen weeks he was here. For a month or more prior to his coming his press agents were on the job, and were busy, too. Not only were they busy, but , they delivered the goods.
