FINANCIAL MART FOR
THE WEEK JusT'ENDED

NEW YORK. Aug. 5-The domestic
labor situation. together with fresh
complications abroad occasioned by the
announcement OF Great Britain's at
titude on tho payments OF war debts,
resulted IN an uncertain trend OF
quoted values in the financial markets
this week. Dealings were compare
lively light. N almost wholly of a
professional character.
The coal shortage caused further
curtailment of operations In the steel
and iron industries and there was an
easing In the recent demand for copper
and other metals. Price cuts in au-
tomobiles and rubber tires suggested
a marked -rendjustment of conditions
in the motor production Of passenger
cars during July was estimated by
leading authorities to be only about rs
per cent Of the June record OF 2ss.ooo.

Judge Pomeroy, viii be relieved OF the
necessity of appearing, as it has de-
veloped that Wilson had been impli-
Gated only by a similarity of names.
Shortly after the Elks' convention,
Wilson was arrested on the complaint
of f. f. Koehler, a federal prohibit
ton officer and, after a preliminary
hearing. was released on bail pending
trial.
In order to avoid further delay, Will
SONS picture was taken and sent to

vice from J. II. Metcalf, acting prohibit
ton director, that Koehler had testified
that it was positively not the Wilson

After securing the evidence and
swearing out the warrant, Koehler left
K~alispell without waiting for the ar
rest, and it appears that Wilson's ar
rest was wholly due to an unfortunate
similarity of names, rs there was CON
siderable evidence to indicate that a
man of that name had been engaged

the bill these purchases of dishes

a few others have been assured.
Will Irwin, the ace of correspondents,

classic.
Tom Skeyhill, an Australian, will ap-
pear later in the season, and will lee
ture on the conditions in Russia. Mr..
Skeyhill, an orator of eloquence, served
in the war, taking part in the Darda-
nelles offensive.

ment to assist in raising war loans.
Recovering his sight. he went to Russia,
where he spent eight months studying
the conditions.
Frank L. Schoell, a visiting profess
sor of French at the University of Chi

partments on subjects of interest to
them.
Frank 3. Linderman is a Montana
man and one of the greatest living
authorities on western life of the past.
He will lecture after the holidays, prob
ably in the spring quarter.
