Mills Runnina Pare Time.

Boston, July 2.--No bottom con-
tinues to be the reported sounding

market for lay grades such as are
clipped from the mutton sheep of the
middle west. 1t Is reported from
Boston that big dealers are expert
encing shrinks as great as 100000
to $1,000.00O in the value of their
stocks of wool on hand and the tex
tile mills are running part time with
indications of still lower prices for
the latter part Of the summer. The y
same merchants made big profits in
recent years when wool was going
UP but had to divide with the gov

mate Is that there Is at least Il

In the meantime retailers are cam

HITCHCOCK BITTER.

Disappointed Over Platform.

Disappointed Over Platform.
Washington, July SENATOR
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, who led the
administrations ;aght in the Senate
for ratification of the peace treaty,
tonight conceded that the adoption
OF the Walsh amendment to the "Vir-
slnia plank" by the resolutions COM
mittee was victory for the anti ad-
ministration forces. He said:
Il regard the plank Gas adopted by
the committee) as unfortunate. The
language In itself was not so obiec-
tionable, but the author OF the
amendment, Senator Walsh of Massa-
chusetts, voted for the Lodge reser-
Vations. His object evidently is to
make clear the obligations of the
United States under the league cove
nant solely by reducing them.
1 anticipate a fight on the floor OF
The convention. I feel sure that the
feeling Of many delegates is such
that they will not quietly submit to
Endorsement of any weakening of
straddling reservations.
The trouble with the plank is that
1t clouds the issue. If the right sort
OF candidate interpreted 1t, there
would be no danger to the honor Of
tho United Staree, but the trouble is
that 1T would permit the wrong sort
to interpret these obligations pretty
much as he saw fit
The attitude ct the White House,
however, was to minimize the i'm
portance of the Walsh amendment.
Though no formal statement was
made, the impression given was that
the action of the committee was not
regarded in any sense as a defeat for
President Wilson.
The President always has favored
"interpretative reservations" 1t was
said by those in his confidence.

monument to be erected in his native
country, the Vendee, early next year.
Francois Sicard, the sculptor, Is

feet high. He is, as always in the

wildly natural, rough and muddy but

BENSON WARNS MEDDLERs.
Foreigners Told Not to Interfere With
U. S. Shipping Plans.

Foreigners Told Not to Interfere With
U. S. Shipping Plans.
by Associated Press.
Washington, July 2.-Warning for
oign interests not to attempt inter-
ference with the development OF the
American merchant marine, Chair
man Benson OF the shipping board
said yesterday that the board was de-
termined to build up an American
merchant marine as contemplated by
the Jones shipping act, despite
threats and propaganda by such In
tcrests to defeat the law.
THE United States said Admiral
Benson, us in earnest in its efforts
to place within the ownership by
United States citizens the control of
at least u part of it's traffic in i'm
ports and exports.
III 1t should by any possible means
he held that the departments of the
government lack such authority as
VIII insure their being able to pro-
tcct American interests in such con-
troll, additional authority will be
asked by the administration and will
"Foreign carriers and those In the
United States interested more in for
Gign than American institutions will
do well to let sleeping dogs lie.'"
Admiral Benson's warning was
sounded in u talk to representatives
Of Pacific coast chambers OF COM
lnerce and trade bodies and repre-
sentatives of American railways
which have been disturbed by threats
to divert trade from points on the
Pacific coast because OF the section
Of the act permitting a preferential
rate over carriers within the United
States on merchandise moving in ex-
port and Import In American vessels.
Such a threat, the chairman said,
sis futile and idle"
IF such a threat is sincere and
the attempt is made to so divert the
business" Admiral Benson continued,
'the shipping board will allocate
American ships to move the busi-
1ess.
"The shipping board and the inter-
state commerce commission will fol-
low this action by other steps which
would further protect the interests
OF the United States against such
foreign efforts to defeat the purpose
OF the merchant marine act"
Admiral Benson said that in the
Hrans- Pacific trade at this time there
seemed to have been specific and
successful effort to prevent American
vessels from securing return cargoes
mt certain points, while ships of other
nations have come with full loads
/ Application Of the section of the
merchant marine act prescribing pre-
terential rates might be invoked, he
said, to require equal consideration in
cargoes from such discriminating
ports for United States vessels owned
either by private citizens or by the
shipping board.

CHICAGO Horse Market.

Chicago, July 1.-THE typical sum-
mer trade characterized this weeks
session of the horse market. Dull
ness pervaded the two auctions on
Monday and Tuesday, with buyers
scarce and bearish.
The trade at the present time is e.
between seasons affair. The 1armer,
are not in the market, except in e.
limited degree, the majority of these
preferring to sell rather than buy.
Woodsmen are not calling for horses
early, too, for brisk mule demand
from the mines, and the southern
trade has temporarily vanished.
About the only stock needed is in
tended for work in the big cities.
With the "bloom" gone from the
market, making for uncertain dispos..
al, traders are demanding low prices
to offset the probable expense Of
holding their purchases. Feed is high
and traders declare that n horse soon
eats it's head off unless a buyer carr
be found in a short time after he,
reaches his destination. A better de-
mand is expected in a few weeks.
The run this week was estimated
at 400 head. Quality was good for
the most part, liberal proportion OF
heavy and medium drafters showing
up. The majority Of these sold al
steady prices, with few extra choice,
kinds bringing more money. There
was some call for desirable express.

coots Build Floating Nest.

The coots have built their nests
again on the big mill pond, and in one
we counted seven large speckled,
buff eggs. This was an anchored
raft, based on a patch of the greasy
elliptical leaves of the pond weed
that float on the surface, says the
London Chronicle.
Dead reeds and other aquatic rub
bish were woven with these and piled
up until there was little floating
island, sufficient to bear the weigh
of the coot and her eggs.
The whole business CO Dunding has
been quite public, and now the nest
and its contents are quite obvious to
any observer passing that way.
Soon there will be seven little balls
of black down around the nest, or ac-
lively following mother coot across
the broad water.
