COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
July 20.-Wendell l.. Willkie settled
back into his vacation routine to-
dny after declaring, In q brief ad-
dress at Denver, he would. make
no pretense Of noble motives" in
seeking the presidency.
II frankly sought the opportunity
to run for President on the Repub-
lican ticket because I have some
deep-seated convictions I want to
present to the American people and
which, II I am elected, I want to
carry into execution" the nominee
said.
Guest at Stockyards.
Mr.. Willkie made the talk while
q luncheon guest yesterday at the
Denver Union Stockyards. He con-
ferred Informally with cattle and
sheep men and visited beet sugar
plant, the Federal Veterans Hos
pital, near Denver, and an 80-acre
beet, melon and corn farm before
flying back to Colorado Springs. He
said he planned to get good rest"
over the week end.
At the farm of Emil Ehlen, near
Brighton, Colo, Mr.. Willkie sat in
the parlor and had the farmer tell
him in detail about the crops he
produced and what he got for them.
The former Indianan joked with
Frank A. Kemp, president Of the
Great Western Sugar Co., who was
in the room, about Mr.. Kemp's es-

"Well," interposed Farmer Ehlen,
there's place across the road that
gets ITO bushels to the acre. This
hybrid corn yields heavier"
Mr.. Ehlen then showed his visitor
about the farm. Mr.. Willkie shook
hands with several dozen farmers
and their wives who gathered at
the Ehlen place on hearing the
nominee was there.
While at Denver, Mr.. Willkie re-
ceived a telegram from Don r. Bur-
ton, a friend now at Bohemian
Grove. Calf, advising him that Ir-
vim S. Cobb, the Paducah (Ky)
humorist. intended to support the
Republican nominee as "a real fel-
low Democrat"
Knows From Experience
A truck bed with bales of hay
around the edge served as a speak
ers' platform for the Republican
nominee when he addressed the
luncheon gathering at the stock
yards. He said:
Il know something about the
democratic way of life, not from
books or theorists, but from expert

lower rate of interest than has ever
been available heretofore, Mr.. Ell

CHICAGO, July 6. Scattered
rains in the spring wheat belt, where
moisture is badly needed, and fore
cast of more precipitation possibly
this week end and later next week
depressed wheat prices here today.
Chicago wheat fell as much as a
cent at times and closed SIS lower
than yesterday: July, F67s 3; Septem-
ber, 77-771s. Prices at Minneap polls
the principal spring wheat terminal
were off as much as / y cents at one
time.
Corn fell las-lss cents at one stage
and closed l-lss net lower; July, 6Oas;
September, 57@s-l2. This weakness
was attributed largely to prospects
of loosening up of supplies in view
of the Government offer to permit
farmers to redeem $50 1000. 900 BUSH

On the other hand, registrations

the 1910 tag season, were we'll behind

They were above 1888 levels, but
also below comparable dates in 1886
and 1887. Because this downward
trend contrasts sharply with steady
registration gains in adjoining vir-
glnla and Maryland sections of the
Metropolitan Area, observers have
concluded that shift in population

lower District registrations.

he adds, also are clouding our busi-
ness outlook The steeply gradu-
ated excess profits taxes are likely
to make it difficult, if not impos-
sible, for private concerns to do
new financing, so plant expansion
would have to be financed by the
Government or not at all. This, of
course, is not a favorable business
factor.
In contrast to what had been ex-
pected if the war in Europe became
more intensive and if the United
States went in for an extensive de-
fense program, wholesale commodity
prices, Mr.. Ellsworth points out,
have been drifting downward
There is hardly any doubt" he

Domestic Copper Prices
Lowest Since September
By the Associated Press.

by Ine ASSOCldleu fTeSS.
NEW YORK. July 6.-Domestic
copper consumers paid the lowest
price for the red metal this week
since war smashed into Europe last
September.
In the sensitive custom smelter
market copper sold at 107s cents a
pound. Several of the smaller pro-
ducers also quoted this price. but
the big primary producers adhered
to the 11l2-cent base which they
held since late February.
Varying explanations were offered
for the price declines:
The French surrender removed a
big customer from the market and
since then overseas demand has
dwindled to the vanishing point.
Leading brass mills shut down for
the week for vacations and the usual
inventory taking.
Domestic consumers have their
regular needs ordered for several
months ahead. Some expected a
lift in new business when the ma
tional defense program gets rolling,
but until then an attitude of cau-
ton appeared the order of the day.
The long Fourth of July holiday
further tempered buying.
Export copper was available at
1850 cents, roughly one-third below
a week ago.
Lead and zinc also reflected holi-
day inactivity. Business was mostly
in carload lots at unchanged prices.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The July
cotton delivery took it on the chin
again today but distant months
forged ahead when offerings came
out slowly. The final range was IL
points lower to 10 higher.
Operations in the spot month con-
sisted mainly of further evening up
and transfer of holdings into distant
deliveries.
Strength of neW-crop months was
connected with talk in the trade Of
a probable loan on the new crop
OF about 912 cents pound. Loan
on the last crop averaged around
8l2 cents.
Flrmness at Bombay contributed
to a steady start, when domestic
mill buying and little professional
covering easily took care of small
hedges.
Holiday conditions ruled in Worth
Street textile markets. Some dis
appointment was apparent that
more volume failed to develop dur
ing the week. but hope of further
Government buying was sustain
ing factor.

of business recession is at hand, if,

Contributing to the uncertainty,

Tourist Changes Mixed.

Very little conclusion on tourist
trends can be drawn from the
irregular showing of three impor-
tant barometers in June and the
first half of this year.
Compared with May and a year
ago. June visitors at Smithsonian
Institution decreased sharply, while
Washington Monument and Wash
ington Tourist Camp recorded sub
stantial gains.
For the six months Smithsonian
visitors set new record for that
period. Monument visitors were
ahead of year ago, but failed to
equal the same 1887 period. Tour
ist camp cars and persons were we'll
behind a year ago and were at the
lowest point for the period since
1896.
Smithsonian visitors in June to-
tailed 246,365. against 288, ,465 in the
preceding month and 295.l25 in
June, 1899 For the six months
they totaled l,l43.693, against l,l3l,-
576 in the 1899 period.
Monument visitors for June to-
tailed 1882. against l2l,7l7 in the
previous month and 1920 in June,
1899. In the first half of 1910 they
totaled 454.423. against 422,573 in
the same period last year.
The tourist camp reported 1886

pared with 1888 cars and 1859 per-
sons in the preceding month and
1,945 cars and 1928 persons in
