SECRETARY Of
COM. CLUB QUITS

Lynn d. Mowat, secretary OF the
Ashland Commercial Club, will
resign the secretaryship at the
completion of the present reor-
Ganization which has been pro-
ceeding so successfully under his
direction. Mr.. Mowat has not an
nounced his future intentions but
is known to have been offered
very attractive propositions from
two or three sources. He will re-
main with the Ashland organiza-
tion until the new officers OF the
club have been installed, and va
rious phases of the expansion got
under way.
The secretaryship will in all
probability be filled by j. II. Full
Ter with whom the trustes OF the
club have been negotiating since
Mr.. Mowat informed them OF his
intentions. Mr.. Fuller is a 5usi-
ness man and executive OF wide
experience who will bring to the
Commercial Club secretaryship an
ability and personality which will
be a strong factor in carrying for
ward the work OF the expanded
ganization. Mr.. Fuller, whose
management of the Southern Ore
gon Chautauqua has been highly
successful, left Ashland early this
spring to go with the Ellison
White System in a managerial ca
pacity and has been very successful
in his new work. 1t was only pos
sible to secure his release by
strongly impressing upon the Ell
lison White people the necessity
of having Mr.. Fuller back in Ash
land.
While Mr.. Fuller leaves high
er salaried position and what is
probably a broader field to return
to Ashland, he is greatly interest
ed in the development of this CITY
and evidences his regard for Ash
lard by his response to the re-
quest of the board Of trustees that
he return to Ashland to fill the
impending vacancy. He will bt
released from his contract will

ASHLAND CHAMPIONS
FOR SOUTHERN OREGON

Sixteen to six" was the score
by which Ashland took yesterday
afternoons slugfest from klamath
Falls. This was the third and last
contest of the season and the To-
cal nine have gathered each of the
games by comfortable margins.
Coach Moore expresses but one
regret regarding the outcome OF
the season. He states 1t was
hard luck that Medford did not
get in on the slaughter,
Yesterdays game was type OF
that good, old time "hit and run
contest and none of the fans in
the bleachers complained of lack
of excitement. Finneran again
took his position on the mound
and heaved his usual brilliant
game. He also helped to win his
own battle by banging out three
clean singles, two of which were
eventually scores. Beck, who
held down the right wing Of the
outer garden, did some pretty
swinging Of the stick when he
smashed out a triple and two bin
giles in five trips to the slab. High
also has healtry batting aver
agl by getting three hits in foul
attempts. 1t was he that started
the fourth inning farce with
Texas Lacquer and before the in
ming was over he had duplicated
the stunt. Mcmillan crossed th'
| plate twice In this frame.

of the fact that the votes for wom-
Ell nominees were spit among a
large number of members, only one

same thing occurred in regard to

PRICE MOVEMENT
AGAIN DOWNWARD
Combination Of Depressing In
fluence Gave Reactionist
Party the Advantage

New York, July 14.-Today's stock
market was much the same professional
type with considerable irregularity In
price movement. The choppy character
of the market was merely a reflection
of the shifting operations Of the room
trading contingent. Free covering OF
shorts at intervals impaired degree of
decided strength, but 1t was found when
these requirements were met the de-
mand was very limited and the entire
list sank again under its own weight.
Except for the apparent deadlock at
the Spa conference there was nothing
in the overnight developments or
morning news to affect the market po-
sition much either way. The reaction
any party was inclined to make some
capital out of this fresh fare up. but
its efforts were crowned with no par
tiCular success. as technical influence as
much as anything else could have been
held responsible for the vaccillating fuc
tuations.
Money market conditions unquestion
ably were still the dominant factor.
There was considerable favorable com
ment over the fact that the rate for call
money did not get above = per cent in
view of the heavy treasury Withdrawals
tomorrow. Foreign exchange was weak
with bills on London falling &c below
yesterdays closing quotations. This
was attributed to the developments at
the Spa conference.
Among the more favorable influences
could be cited the favorable statements
made by the Lackawanna Steel Co..
Y,AN az ,l,aR 81
war taxes of 81 .SS1 .946 for the quarter
ended June 30. against a deficit OF
! S233. .0S6 in the same quarter last year.
| This was believed to foreshadow similar
good earnings by the other independent
steel companies and the big Steel Cor
| poration as well.
The market, however, was governed
entirely by the shifting operations of
| the professionals. Under continued
free covering of the shorts firm tone
prevailed at the opening. Favoritcs in
the oil. equipment and railroad groups
were advanced l to 3 points. An ex-
tension of the initial advances. however.
was followed by profit taking, which
cancelled most Of the gains. Later the
oils and equipments featured another
| rally with the independent steels shares,
motors and investment rails. Mexican
Petroleum rose 2 points Baldwin To-
comotivc, 2n LaCkawanna Steel, 312 ;
Crucible Steel, 21a, and Studebaker,
l Il. Conspicuous advances in the rail e
roads included Jersey Central. which
jumped > points on a few sales, and
Canadian and Northern Pacific, which
gained a point each.

GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. July 1+.-Further weakness
developed in the corn market today un-
der free offerings. induced by almost
perfect conditions for the crop, liberal
receipts and an improvement in the
weather in the northwest, which sug-
gcsted less danger of rust in spring
wheat.
At first prices advanced sharply. On
the rise there was hcnvt selling by COM
mission houses, which forced the execu-
tion of stop loss orders. and prices suf-
fPrpd big losses. There were small rail-
lies after midday on covering by shorts
for profit.
The cash article here was down 2h
cents to cents and foreign prices also
were lower.
Cash wheat was strong, with an
active demand for export and little OF i.
fercd Both the United Kingdom and
the Continent were after wheat in the
United States. and il was said that italy
had taken 800 900 bushels at the gulf.
The Board Of Trade gave out state
ment to members. relative to the re-
sumption of dealings in wheat futures
tomorrow. after a suspension OF three
years. Trading will be in December
and March deliveries and general eY-
pectatiOns were for Opening quotations
around S2.6 to S2.75. Warning was
given that no contracts should be made
without adequate protection.
The first car of new 1920 wheat ar
rived here today. II was the latest
receipt Of new wheat in more than ten
years.
Selling of oats sent the market for
that cereal down after q firm start.

LOCAL MARKET
VAS REACTIONARY
Delay in Announcing Dividend
Influenced Moderate Selling
Of Rapid Transit

The local market was inclined To be
rPactionary. though the dealings con-
tinued to be light. The heavinpss of
Philadelphia Rapid Transit was one of
the more noticeable Developments of the
day with the stock Welding 81 to 10.
The selling movement. which was not
very extensive, was possibly influenced
by reason of the delay in the announce
ment Of the usual Scmiannual dividend.
which is usually declared by the board
about this time. 1t had been generally
understood. however, in local financial
circles that action on the dividend
would probably be deferred until after
the Public Service Commission had Civ
en- it's decision on the fare question
None of the underlying companies were
dealt in until the last hour when Union
Traction declined nearly Sl.7j to 2S.
Selling pressure against Electric
Storage Battery was withdrawn, and
the stock made n further recovery of
! 50 to 1913. while the warrants rallied
to 1913, fell back to ~ and then rallied
! again 10 1912.
Contrary to expectations. United Gas
/ Improvement also gave ground. falling
4 back to 4lH. while yesterdays action
by the City Council in granting the
/ company permission to change the gas
to heat from a light standard was Px
pccted to give the stock good boost
Elsewhere the trading was rather per
functorv rejecting the thin market in
either the buying or selling side. Bril-
on a few sales dropped SO from the
previous sale to 40, but reacted latcr
to 43. General Asphalt preferred
declined $50 from its last sale

new low for the movement at GA
