Bradstreet's s Review
New York. June 2i.-Bradstreets to

New York, June 21-Bradstreet to- morrow will say:
 Animation resulting from war work shifts labor cuts down production ct what are now termed nonessentials, and puts additional clamps on purely domes- tic operations. In word, the country is being adjusted to war basis, govern mental regulations and price fixing loom larger, successive draft calls reduce sup plies of labor, and ah the government must have essentials, civinan needs necessarily are secondary considerations. Potentially civilian demand is of large volume but inability to find free mer- chandise in large quantities naturally lessens the power of sellers to i'll or ders, and as most markets are dominated by the exigent needs of the govern ment, trading is being conducted in the confirmed belief that deliveries can only be had when and as the war situation becomes less imperative.

Hubbard Bros. n Co.'s Letter

New York, June ZI.-T o- cooler weather over Texas where some light showers fell in the central DOT tion of the state brought about re- action from the sharp advance or iasl evening, when one of the local traders was thought to have covered pof- tion of his interest.
 Judging from the limited volume or business today the outside public has not been attracted by the advance which they attributed to the local short covering on account of traders and not because of any change in question of the probable supply of cotton. The feeling in the market is one of uncertainty as to the text inn mediate trend of prices. The short in- terest has been largely reduced and the question of transportation for the coming crop is looming up as new fa ctOr

Evans Gets New Trial

Montgomery, June 21. - (Special) Henry Evans of Marshall county, con victed of the murder of young man who had been accused of having wrongful relations with his daughter, was granted a new trial by the SUI preme court today, because it was shown that jurors summoned from the wrong judicial division of the county were used in the trial The court held that Marshall is divided into two di- visions, one for Albertville and one for Guntersville, and that some of the jurors who tried Evans should not have been accepted in the case.

Measuring crop advices from the southwest and talk of an easier technical position helped send the staple upward. The market was firmer during the afternoon on the larger exports, the continued favorable war news and covering Offerings were very light after the early selling movement subsided and it did not rs- quire much buying to influence prices.

Trading in Stocks of an Alternating
 Nature Yesterday With Dull Close
By JOHN c. MOSES

Alternating from advances to de- clines, stock on Wall street went to a dull close. The reactionary trend made further headway during the idle forenoon session. Such leaders as United States Steel and Reading were carried under yesterdays final quota tions, while various specialties showed extreme price recessions of 1 to 21A points. Reversing it's course of the pre- vious day, the market fell to lowest levels in the last hour The closing was heavy. Liberty 31as sold at 99.50 O. 99; first As at 9S.SO@s4.oO; second 4s at 93.7OQ 94.1o. and 4As at 95.94@ 95.94.

SHOOTING UP GERMANY.

Governor HoIcomb, with whose
words there has not always been gem
eral agreement, voiced the sentiments
of great many Americans when he
said in Waterbury Monday night: 81
wish Germany could have been shot
men and children used as they have
been in Belgium and France for we
are a Christian nation. But I do not
believe in coddIing murderers. [
ing up Of Germany as an act of retri-
button"
That is what sticks in the crop of
the screaming American eagle Ger
many spread destruction and terror
wherever her armies went. The grass
withered under their feet. Civiliza-
ton disappeared, Property was de-
stroyed Life ceased to exist. Hope
almost died. With victory in our
grasp and the land of the Hun with
in sight of our forces Germany quit.
The word quit was invented to de-
scribe just this event in world his
tory. Germany turned yellow-and
went out of business as a govern
ment-
The day may come when Governor
Holcomb will see his wishes and the
wishes of thousands of others real
lied. Steadily searching toward Ger
man soil are soldiers of America,
Belgium, France, Great Britain and
italy. Within few hours the flags
of the Allies will be flying over the
sacred territory of Hohenzoilern and
the German people-don't forget the
people Those soldiers are prepared
for anything and need only half an

ONLY ONE FLAG ACCEPTABLE.

Conflict between the New ork po-
lice and Socialists is promised fol-
lowing an order by Mayor Hylan for
bidding the display of the red flag in
street meetings or parades. The So
cialists have called a meeting to de-
termine whether the order shall be
obeyed or ignored and their present
temper is to ignore it.
Public opinion demands that
prompt action be taken if the Social
lists insist on flying the banner of
anarchy. Amy attempt to stir up
feeling in this country should be sup
pressed with firm hand. We know
only one flag and it's colors are red
white and blue. IF the Socialists fly
any other it should be torn down and
they should be arrested, not because
they are Socialists but because the
rest of us are Am orleans and this Is
America.

and the home of the brave"
Before the war our nation was
quite asleep to the great danger Of the
foreignizilg elements which filtered
into America carelessly or indiffer-
ly from every foreign shore. Our
national awakening has been shock
1y rude. Let us now insist upon an
undivided allegiance to the American
standard. Those dho hiterto, in
America, have called themselves GEN
mans, should be the first to forswear
their German gods of whatever 1ame
or nature, whereby they might foster
disloyalty.
America, stands for progress and
reform. Foreign customs, habits, and
societies, which cater to the personal
and sensual, are Of no credit TO
America, whose institutions, our fore
fathers In their self-sacrificing
struggles for liberty founded upon
principle, the one safe basis upon
which the nations Of the world may
build, individually, and collectively to
the benefit of all alike.
