 The nature of the sacrifices" to Ulster that MT. De Valera had in mind were not disclosed yesterday but it was believed today that he would re- veal to the mem bers of the parliament the steps he would advocate in bring Ing Ulster in accord with the. Sim

 reached, it was indicated yesterday
 new proposals to Great Britain might
 be made and there were observers who expressed belief that the offer
 would take the form of a proposition n to enter the commonwealth of British
 dom1nions as an independent state An agreement granting the premier's s |st1pulations relative to naval control Of the seas about Ireland and air
 bases and the island might be com plementary to such an offer in the opinion of men who had followed closely the work of the parliame ent. The possibility of calling plebis- cite by which the people of southern Ireland might give their leaders a mandate governing their future activi- ties in the negotiations remained to- day as one of the solutions of the situation

1O:S0 a. m.-Rails and equipments carried yesterdays rally to greater lengths at the opening of today's stock market. Shorts evidently were ap- prehensive of financial relief for the Transportation companies before tho congressional recess and covered con- tracts in these issues. Reading, Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Baldwin, Pullman and Westinghouse Electric average a point gain. Oils were irregular, Mexican Pet. easing slightly but soon recovering. Food and tobacco shares were lower and Industrial Alcohol on which dividend action is expected today also reeacted.
 Noon.-Early gains were extended for a time but shorts renewed their aggressions when rails and equip ments became dull. Retention of the 6 per cent call money rate was an other discouraging feature. Cuba Cane pfd., Sumatra Tobacco. Enam- cling, and Studebaker. declined 2 to almost 4 points and foreign oils again were freely offered General Electric, Harvester, Sears Roebuck, U. s. Rub- ber,' American, Corn Products and National Biscuit eased one to two points. There was little pressure against the more popular steels and equipments.
 Wall street 1:3O m.-The market hardened again during the dull mid- session. Mexican Pet. made up its loss, Studebaker recovered half it's decline and the strength of American Loco, which rose l 1-2 points, exercised a beneficial effect upon most other equip ments as well as steels.

Having made clear the position which Ire land is to take among the nations, there is nothing for us in this coun- try to do but give thehh our undi- vided moral and financial support in solar as we are able,' she added.

Members of British Parliament Are
 Keeping in Touch With Events.

London, Aug. 18.-Member of the British cabinet and leaders in both houses of parliament are keeping in close touch with developments in Dublin where the Irish republican parliament is in session. MT.

Proprietors OF saloons and hotels
still doing business over the bar from
Camden To Atlantic City are in a
dilemma. They do not know whether

beer and soft drinks claim that they
did not make $4,000 during the year,
while there are others who claim that
they do not know how much they
made.
If any of them shcw that they
made big profits it would be proof
that they have been selling wines
and liquors, so they are in diem

them will make return. If they fail
to make return no doubt the reve-
nue. agents will be looking them up
before long ana if they do make
