LONDON, July 24.-The outstanding
features of the week were the decision
OF the Bank of England to reduce the
minimum discount rate from 6 to 51a
per cent and the ending Of the first
phase of the Irish negotiations. Both
of these developments are expected to
have q beneficial effect on business
generally, although this is the period
when the cloud of apathy usually hangs
over the Industrial and financial world
and consequently there is natural ten
dency to assume an attitude of eau
ton.
Traders in general welcome the rate
reduction ard mercantile ccnters show
bit more confidence. A revival in
business is expected, but no marked
Improvement is likely to come until
late in the summer.
Although the Lloyd George govern
ment is passing through an embarrass-
ing parliamentary season and the
House of Commons is chatting under
the long summer session, the politi-
cal position is not responsible for the
depression or stagnation of business.
The government can now borrow more
cheaply and meet maturing treasury
and other short term obligations. How
long this rate will last none can say,
but ordinarily credit demands Of the
money market usually reach their
maximum and money rates tend to
stiffen in the late summer and early
autumn.
Irish Situation Satisfactory
The Irish situation is developing
satisfactorily, particularly when COM
parison is made with the position a
few months ago. The Irish problem
is not purely domestic question, af-
fecting England and the British Empire
alone. Upon it hangs the fate of many

PARIS, July 24.-During the course
of the week, interrupted by three days
of fetes, the Paris market manifested
various tendenaes. Wednesday the
Bourse appeared to have anticipated a
recovery at the opening, showing good
prospects. Monday orders accsmu-
lating for four days gave life to certain
sections of the market following the re-
ceSpt of better news from London and
New York, but incidents in Upper Sile-
STA swamped all prospects which had
been produced by the London negotia-
tions and by President Harding's ap-
peal for a conference on limitation of
ornaments.
Attacks of spectators who grew

weakness, and the backward movement
caused fluctuations of certain impor-

A "Permutit" water softener, with
a daily capacity of 10000 gallons is

LITTLE DAMAGE TO FRUIT
FROM FREEZE AT ROSWELL

In spite of last nights frost very
little damage was sustained by the
fruit crop. The temperature for the
various stations in the orchards sur
rounding Roswell ranged between 2S
and 20 degrees, while as far south as
Artesia the temperature did not go
below freezing. The apples are not
damaged at all and the peaches while
they may be slightly injured, are not
hurt appreciably Blossoms were too
thick and needed to be thinned and
last nights frost will probably prove
\ benefit to them.
Prospects for a banner fruit crop
this year are very bright and with
each night that the mercury stays
above the danger level they will get
brighter-Roswell News,

scheduled to play third place with
the Indians, but the team had played
three games in thirty-two hours, and

awarded third place, with Clovis
fourth. This decision has been con-
firmed by the coaches Of the various
teams since the tournament.

Pleasant Hill volunteered to play the
exhibition game, and defeated the
Indians by a score Of % to ~, a
