Liquidation has ceased, az least
for the present, market commenta-
tors agree. barring the Intervention
Of unforeseen circumstances. Yet
there seems little reason 90 expect
any marked or very general advance
soon An irregular market is pre-
dicted for the remainder OF the
year. Perhaps the attitude is best
summed up in the phrase used by
one commission house, which views
the market constructively." Senti-
ment reacted favorably 20 the Edge
bill, but expressed disappointment
at the supreme courts postponement
OF a decision as to the taxability OF
stock dividends. The status of the
peace treaty creates uncertainty, al
though business men feel reason
ably confident Of its ratification in
some form before long. The Edge
bill, recently passed by congress,
improved the feeling toward ex-
change and Americas future trade,
while passage of the Clmmins bill
at least gave proof OF a desire 70 deal
promptly and effectively with grave
current issues.

That the decision will affect

predicted as the railroads are in no

LONDON, July 22-(P)-A wireless message received from the bolsheviki headquarters says the Ukrainian red troops have effected the capture of Kronstantinograd, a place of some importance. In their capture of the town, the Ukrainians are reported to have come in possession of vast amount of booty consisting. for the most part, of ammunition and guns.
 Another wireless message reports that the Polish troops took posses sion of Tarnopol Monday, capturing the place after short but brisk fight The Bolsheviki headquarters admit that the soviet troops are fast retiring along the Pskoff front, which extends thru Poland. It is claimed that this retreat is caused by the strong pressure prot to bear by the opposing forces within the past few days.

ACTION TAKEN
 BY COMMITTEE
 IS FAVORABLE
TURNS FAVORABLE REPORT ON MEASURE WHICH PROPOSES THE DEPORTATION OF FIFTY ONE ALIEN ENEMIES.

WASHINGTON, July (P)-The immigration committee of the house rendered favorable report this even ing on the measure which proposes the deportation of fifty-one alien enc mics. The committee vote was un animous.
 These aliens are now being held by the government for violations of various war statutes but it is con sidered to be better for the country as d whole if the men are deported instead of being sentenced to serve term in prison. The action of the immigration committee practically insures the passage of the bill.
 It is entirely probable number of other deportations will be made by the federal government as the authorities are now inclined to this policy of dealing with undesirable aliens. Altho no action, as yet, has been taken to ship them from the country, number of aliens, besides those covered by the resolution, are now being held on various federal charges.
