WEST WALL STREET, New York, July 3.—The stock market this week has followed very precisely along the lines anticipated by the best At the low levels of May prices had discounted all the unfavorable fea tures of the outside situation. They had taken into account the high rates for money, the severe restric tions were on credit, the troubles with labor and the falling off, pres ent and prospective in industrial activity and corporation profits. There ensued a month of inaction during which stocks were quietly picked up by the class of people who buy when the general public are timid and are holding off. This ac cumulation has continued more .openly during the past week and has been favored by the talk that there would be 'nothing doing in the market until after the fourth of July holiday when the worst of the midyear money troubles would be over and the results of the Demo cratic convention would be known. As expected those who have listened to his talk find that they have missed their best opportunity and if they wish to buy now will have to pav considerably higher for their stocks. In looking ahead to the pos sibilities of the nexjt month or so there is certainly no ground for ex travagant optimism. . 5 . Money for Wall street uses will be in freer supply, but it will not be cheap. There cannot be any return to low money rates until the fed eral reserve banks reduce their pres ent scale of discounts and this can not be expected until some time next year at earliest. All that can be anticipated in the market is an in crease in the amount of lendable funds suficient to allow a moderate expansion in..speculative activity per mitting those stocks ■ which ’ have been selling below what they are really worth to get back to their value .line and in their advance bring ing about a modest rally in the gen eral list. A favorable decision on railway rates will of course, if it comes, have a powerful reaction up on the whole market. But it will constantly be borne in mind that therw could be no old time specula tion with credit conditions as they are and with the extra demands of the crop moving in immediate pros pect. The fundamental changes for the better in the as compared with a month ago, are* first, the suc cess of the restrictive and coercive measures adopted by the federal re serve authorities in putting a stop to credit expanison and bringing about a small, yet convincing im provement jn the general banking po sition; seednd, the greater stability given to the foreign exchanges as it has been shown that the suggestions of collapsg in financial Europe were unfounded, and that foreign obliga tions in this country are to be met either through the transfer of gold or through the flotation of European government bonds in our market; third, the complete upset of the theorists who were predicting a slump in the foreign trade, the May figures of exports and imports af fording the strongest evidence yet given on this point; fourth, the re markable improvement in the -crop outlook, the official cotton estimates now indicating a yield considerably in excess of last year instead of the threatened serious shortage of a month ago, while wheat and crops have progressed under weather condi tions that have been exceptionally favorable. financial Situation Along with these developments has come a clearer conception of the financial situation at large and a recognition that the propaganda of pessimism, which was so widespread in the early part of the year was as ill-founded as it was mischievous. It is now seen that the three main characteristics of the industrial j crisis of the past-over-production, I low prices, unemployment—are in the present conditions absolutely revers | ed. With some exceptions, which are well known the demand for the out put of the mills and factories is still far ahead of the ability to supply. This, of course, being emphasized by the transportation difficulties. Maximum l"roduction Instead of prices so low as to in duce a curtailment of industrial ef fort there is every incentive to keep production at the maximum. Instead of a labor ■ surplus, with great num bers of people out of work, there is an extraordinary scarcity of labor. Instead of bping heavily in debt, where we would have to export like Japan, our net credit balance dur ing and since the war has amounted to $17,000,000,000. Finally, if Eng land is not seriously worried when Its bank reserve ratio falls below 9 per cent, what possible right have we to worry with our reserve ratio to liabilities of 44 per cent? Inebriate Swine Tip Dry Agents to Still WHITESBURG,- Ky.—A drove of intoxicated hogs gave prohibition of ficers the clew that led to seizure of a giant still and arrest of two men in Letcher county. Returning from an expedition through the Cumberland river head waters, Officers James Toliver, Felix G. Fields and John G. W, Collins re ported destruction of six stills. The largest was found in a dark ravine neai- the mountain top. Offi cers ran across a bunch of hogs cut ting weird capers. A search reveal ed a modern outfit near l>y. Joseph Riggs was arrested at the still. Henry Sturgill also was taken into custody. ; The hogs had been drinking beer and refuse from the still. Georgia Crop Report Co-operative crop reporting service for Georgia, U. 8. bureau of crop estimates and Georgia department of agriculture, says: A reduction of acreage lias apparently taken place in every crop reporting district except tlic third, which is the northeastern section of the state, where some entirely new territory has gone Into cotton, which accounts 'for the Increase in that district. In districts one and two, comprising the north central and northeast section, the de crease is thought to be about 5 per cent. In district four of the western section, which . is heavily Infested by the boll weevil, the loss of acreage amounts to 13 per cent. In district five or the central section of the state, only 90 per cent of last year’s acre age has been planted. In the eastern dis trict a loss of 17 per cent is shown, while in district nine, which comprises the south western section, the loss is 20 per cent. These two districts comprise most of the former sea island areage, which has almost entirely disappeared. In districts seven and eight, the southern and southwestern sec tion, the reduction amounts to about 4 per cent in each. A straight average of all the reports makes the acreage this year 92 per cent of that yast year. A revision of the figures properly weighted indicates an av erage of 8 per cent in the state. This makes the total acreage this year and go ing on June 25, 4,972.000. Doubtless more cotton tlum this was intended to be planted but the shortage of labor combined with the extremely unfavorable weather condi tions at planting time prevented the plant ing of any more than this until it was too late to plant in view of the heavy infesta tion of boll weevil. Condition of Cotton The condition on June 25 for the state is 63 per cent, an improvement over a month ago which' showed a condition of 55. The fields are universally clean and chopping practically completed over the entire state. The plant is healthy and growing with full vigor at the present time. The only com plaint noted generally is that the plant is small as the result of the lateness of the crop and the repetition of the statement of a month ago that the weevil is present in larger numbers than has ever been known at this period. The most marked develop ment is shown In the northern part of the state where the improvement ranges from 9 to 22 points. In the central some improve ment is shown, while in the three southern districts the condition is vefy little better tahn a month ago. The latter is undoubt edly due to the large number of weevils present. Weekly Review of Dry Goods Market NEW YORK, July 3.—Cotton goods are doing very little on new business. The de mand is light and there are many uncer tainties confronting the trade. Prices are softening, in gray goods markets and yarns are now showing signs of declining gen erally. The underwear and hosiery trades are particularly dull. Goods are not accu mulating in first hands end both under wear and yarn manufacturers incline to ward curtailing production as soon as or ders are filled. After the holiday the trade looks for an increase in buying of retail ers and jobbers and the general attitude of sellers is one of waiting to see how re tailers will regard the fall orders they now have on the books and which will be de livered steadily from July forward. Sell ing agents say the trade is siibjeet t" effect of financial pressure that is affect ing all lines of industry and to the re flex effect of a sharp liquidation that has been going on in silks and woolens, where raw material markets have broken. Export markets are manifesting much the same uncertainties that are seen in the dcmestic trade. The ready-to-wear manufac turers are carefully restricting production to orders in hand and it. is felt that when the present situation is over with there Will be another sharp resumption of bny iiig that will disclose light stocks again.

Punched Girl’s Nose; Had to Pay Fine for Disorderly Conduct “,Oh, I wouldn’t want you to send him to jail!” exclaimed Elizabeth Corbett, a chorus girl in a Brooklyn cabaret, who had William Daly, a waiter, arraigned in Harlem police court, charged with disorderly con duct. ‘‘Not jail, judge,” she pleaded still more earnestly. ‘‘Still an’ all, he needs a good lesson, for no gentle man ought to treat a lady like he treated me last night. If he’ll pay the doctor, the dentist and the dress maker what I had to pay them to re pair the damage he did to my eye, my teeth and my clothes, why I’m willing to let bygones be bygones.” Magistrate Sweetser told Miss Cor bett that he agreed with her, and pa rolled Daly, when Miss Corbett is to report as to whether the doctor, the dressmaker and the dentist have been paid. Miss Corbett went to North Beach one night recently with another young woman. They returned in an automobile with Daly and two other men. Daly’s companion said they would take Miss Corbett’s friend to her home and would call at Daly’s home, 428 East Eighty-second street, New York, on their return for Miss Corbett. Miss Corbett asserted that as soon as she entered Daly’s home he began plucking garments from her arid punching her in the eyes and mouth. Patrolman Munsaer, who had come upon Miss Corbett as she ran shriek ing through the streets at dawn, testified to the thoroughness, if not to the gentility, of Daly. ‘‘Not a stitch, yer honor,” said the patrolman, whispering decorously, but hoarsely, in the shelter of his hand; ‘‘as I’m standin’ here, I had to take off my uniform coat an’ put it on her —not one stitch’.” Miss Corbett differed emphatically with the witness on this point. Daly had listened with interest to the* account of the proceedings, say ing thAt he didn’t remember anything of it at all, as he had a drink or two and liquor always went to his head. He might have done it and forgotten it. he said. ‘‘lt wasn't gentlemanly, that’s all I’ve got to say,” remarked Miss Cor bett with dignity, as she departed. This Has the Movies Beat COLUMBUS.

NO NOMINATION IN SIGHT AS VOTING IS RESUMED AT FRISCO (Continued from Page 1) o’clock, If they hppe for a slide their way. The Cox people, confident they have McAdoo stopped, despite his last ballot rally Saturday night, planned to continue tbeir campaign to wear him out. The McAdoo peo ple, declaring that the whole week’s effort had been to wear out, argued that it had been a failure. Scattered seventeen ways from the three leaders to Champ Clark and Woodrow Wilson, there was no doubt whatever that the voters of the convention were ready for any lucky rnar. who could turn one of those lucky tricks of convention legerdemain which pull a presiden tial nomination out of a hat. With the three leaders knocking their heads together, friends of can didates of lesser strength showed renewed determination to keep their favorites in the running. The attitude of the dark-horse backers, who, on the last ballot of Saturday night, held a combined vot ing strength of one-tenth of the con vention, helped to lock the situa tion tighter. For the present the task of putting over any one of the big three without breaking into that block of votes seemed to be a re mote one. List of Bark Horses The list of dark horses for whom movements seem to be on foot still included John W. Davis, oJ West Virginia; Senator Glass, of Virginia; Senator Owen, of Oklahoma; Homer S. Cummings, of Connecticut, and Bainbridge Colby. Champ Clark was talked of by some, and so was Vice President Marshall. There was an indication that Indiana, which sup ported hirn solidly at the outset, might seen return to him if the deadlock continues. The two votes for President Wil son on the twenty, second ballot the first to bf cast f-.-r him throughout the long grind of roll calls, were not regarded as pipphetic of a swing in his direction. The idea of his nomination ter a third term seemed to be farthest from the thoughts of even his most devoted followers among the big men of tne convention. Os the four heading the lesser gr< up, Ambassador Davis had the greatest strength. His vote on the final call Saturday had been 52. But all efforts to start a serious break in his direct ton had been unavail ing, and after contercm < s his friends tonight were ciaimirg mure strength fur him, but nothir g like a stampede at the start tomorrow. Ranking next to Davis cn the twen ty-second ballot was Senator Owen, with 35, which includeo Nebraska votes controlled ly W. J. Bryan. It was recognized that Bryan had been deprived by l:is defeat on the prohibi tion issue, of meet of the power he might have held over the destinies vs the presidential contest. There was still talk of Senator Glass, entrusted bv tile president to conduct the fight for an administra tion platform. In all dark horse camps the atti tude was the same; they were hop ing for a break fonioviow, but were eonvmced that they would have to abide their time while the managers of the leading three Hied out any new alignments they m’ght have ar ranged ever Sunday. Governor Alfred E. Smith, New York, today received a t>n?gram from Al Iclson, the comedian, which said: •‘lVire me name of probable nomi not?.’ ‘‘.l wish he would teA me who it is going to be.” said tne governor. “1 can’t ronlv' an;,ti'ing out of the situation- it’s all a hopeless tangle.” The closing hours of Saturday s tumultuous session were prophetic of the scenes which might be ex pected when the battle is resumed Monday. Demonstrations began with the switch of a handful of votes. The band and pipe organ joined in re peatedly and wrought mightily to stimulate the efforts of partisians. Scrimmages occurred around state standards where support for the candidates was decided. Rival parti sans fought to get them into the parades that lurched through the, aisles or to keep them out. ■ Fre quently the big placards, that marked the place of state delegations, were destroyed in the struggle. Georgia’s Change When an announcement from the platform showed Cox’s strength to be approaching 500, there came a tumult of z Cox enthusiasm rivalling their earlier outburst, when New York broke and planted 73 votes behind the Ohio governor. The red coated Cox band, the red-headed yell leader and the leather-lunged root ers jumped Into the uproar. McAdoo supporters scented dan ger. As by magic, they organized on the floor in opposition and, with the Texas standard leading, began a parade of their own. The big one star flag of Texas came out of re tirement and a flock of southern and western state banners were thrust into line. The Cox band be gan a march around the gallery aisle. Ahead of them capered an elderly but agile Ohionian exhorting spectators to join in the uproar. Ohio delegates on the floor joined in. Followed by a group of middle west dern and eastern standards and led by a big Cox banner, they swung through the aisles in one direction, while the McAdoo parade surged slowly and jerkingly ahead through the crowd in the other. The Ohio band and the regular convention musical forces got at odds. They hurled musical bombard ments at each other over the heads, of the -delegates. A terrific din and blare of sound was the result. Nobody but the musclans knew what they were playing, and ap parently nobody cared. When the storm and noise and av« tion reached its height. Palmer hosts in the Pennsylvania delegation again got into action. The maroon pen nants associated with the demon strations for the attorney general appeared again. At the gallery rail somebody let loose a picture of Sen ator Owen .of Oklahoma. When Georgia’s 28 went over to McAdoo as a compliment from the state of his natavity, a new uproar i came. McAdoo followers leaped ; their feet all over the hall, prepared: to begin all over again, even while; still drawing breath from their last I effort. There were some looks of 1 agitation among the Cox groups as i they watched the poll vote by vote I when order was restored. Each change of one vote caused I a roar. The ballot showed a distinct gain , for McAdoo and some loss for Cox. ■ The whole convention began talk-; ing it over. Convention grew in- I to a roar from a rumble. It drown-' ed out the score sheet on favorite I GEORGIA DELEGATION AT FRISCO WATCHES FOR “BAND WAGON” (Continued from Page 1) the side of a winner. In other words, as they express it privately, they will lose no time in mounting the band wagon as-soon as they feel sure that a candidate marked “band is not In reality headed for the barn- Having held out for one losing can didate against the heaviest kind of pressure, they do not wish to switch to another losing candidate. Sunday, July 4, was the birthday of Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, the wife of the candidate of the Georgia dele gation, and they complimented her with a very large bouquet of Amer ican Beauty roses and crystallized fruit, which is quite the most fash ionable of all confections in this fruit paradise. / In common with the rest of the great gathering of delegates and vis itors attending the convention, the Georgians spent a most pleasant day in a city bathed in sunshine and splashed with fog which rolled up at intervals from the surging Pacific, but drifted off to the mountains as quickly as it came. Were it not for the tremendous mileage separating San Francisco from the country, the Democrats would be ready to make it the permanent meeting place of their convention. Everyone here is ardently in love with California, and California is not receiving the affec tion of the visitors with any degree of coldness. The Georgians here are getting an object lesson in state sol idarity and state pride which could make their state the garden spot of the universe if sectional controver sies concerning capital removal and all such other minor squabbles were thrown in the discard. That Georgia Jump-Shift On the twenty-first ballot the Georgia delegates vote "'T McAdoo in pursuance of a motion at. in caucus by a vote 22 to 17. The cau cus was had during a convention roll call on a motion to adjourn. It was brought about by an insistent de mand on the part of many members of the delegation to drop Attorney General Palmer. These demands were resisted by Hollins • Randolph, Aldine Chambers, Clement A. Dunbar and others through the twentitieth ballot, when they couia hold the delegation in line no longer. Some favored McAdoo some favor ed Cox and some favored Davis. A telegram was received Sunday night by Chairman Stovall from Judge N. A. Covington, of Moultrie, informing him that Cox could not carry Georgia as the nominee, pre sumably on account of his reputed wet leanings. This and other propa ganda militated strongly against Cox in the Georgia delegation. sons,'Owen, Davis, Glass and. oth ers, still clinging gallantly to the race, but far in the rear. When on the call for the twenty second ballot Georgia’s twenty-eight went back to the Palmer fold, and the announcement was greeted with laughter from floor and-galleries and probably paved the way to the ad journment which immediately fol lowed with little objection. Whether Georgia was prepared to “stick” with McAdoo if a general drift to his standard had resulted was not known. Managers Optimistic When adjournment came and the convention broke up, managers for the leading candidates were as posi tive as ever in their claims of ap proaching victory, but state leaders not directly aligned with any camp admitted that they did not know what their delegation would do in any circumstance. For that reason, they declared they saw little pros pect of successful efforts to fix up a ticket over Sunday. Some of these leaders, wise, old campaigners, de clared that it was next to impossible to deliver blocks of votes. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, convention chairman, also said he saw no sign of a decision between the leaders. “But if one of them is not nomi nated Monday," said Mr. Robinson, “a dark horse will be chosen on Tuesday. If neither develops the necessary majority, and I have no in formation tonight that indicates any change in the deadlock, something will have to be done, and I look for a nomination not later than Tues day.” In the present situation Senator Robinson said he was taking pains to have no part, because of his of ficial position. Sunday night Thomas B. Love, of Texas, one of the McAdoo managers, issued this statement: “We propose to press with renewed force the movement to nominate Adoo. “We believe the Republicans at Chicago presented us with a mag nificent opportunity for victory this fall. A hotel-made nomination here will cast that opportunity to the winds and rob the Democratic party of the privilege of continuing as the party of progress. “There is more at stake here than the personality of the candidate.” E. H. Moore, of Youngstown, Ohio, the Cox manager, said Sunday night he cared to make no statement on the situation, but related an inci dent which he said reflected his con fidence that Cox would be nominated. Moore bet SSOO to SI,OOO that Cox would be nominated within an hour and a half after, the convention be gins ba'loting Monday morning, and offered to make it even money that Cox would be nominated within two and a half hours. It was agreed that the winner would contribute the money to the Democratic national campaign fund. Vance McCormick, of the Penn sylvania delegation, said: “We are holding fast and expect to ' make gains tomorrow.” He said there were numerous con ferences held during the day and that the Palmer outlook was hopeful. Delegates Are “Broke” Protraction of the convention has caused many embarrassments to dele gates and visitors, incluring swoll en hotel bills and disrupted railroad and traveling plans. The extension, however, disar ranged plans of San Francisco for a civic celebration of the Fourth of July Monday. The convention audi torium had been engaged by a clti- ; zens’ committee for a public dance, with afternoon fire works and other entertainment in the park outside. With more fireworks promised in side than outside the auditorium to morrow, the citizens’ committee was arranging to hold their dance on the asphalt. “BONE-DRY” LAW DISCUSSED AND RESULTS CITED BY GEORGE B. WATERS WASHINGTON. —America has had a year of prohibition. Has it been a success? John F. Kramer, head of the pro hibition enforcement division here, says it has been a marked success.. But when I called on hixn he didn’t try to make me believe that he had all the saloons closed and all the bootleggers in jail. “We have figures to show that there are only about 800 saloons run ning in New York,” said Kramer. “Beer seems to have almost disap peared, except in Pennsylvania. In toxicants are more plentiful in Pennsylvania and New Jersey than in any other states. “As to the greatest benefit brought by a year’s prohibition, I would say that it has teen getting strong drink out of reach of the boys and girls who have developed no appe tites for it. “A toper with an insane appetite for liquor will drink up his wife’s perfume, but one never heard of a normal boy contracting the habit of drink by attacking a perfume bot tle. Nor is codliver oil and razo, containing alcohol, a substitute for a roadhouse debauch by young men and women, whereas many of the old drinkers are consuming all these preparations they can get. “Leave the Volstead law on the books two more years and drinking will be a ‘lost art.’ ” The year preceding prohibition, Americans spent $2,000,000,000 for booze. The Anti-Saloon league claims to have figures showing that the past year the drinkers have placed $1,000,000,000 of this in banks, spent $100,000,000 of it for candy, and that the other $900,000,000 went for soft drinks, moving pictures, theaters, tobacco, bootleg booze, automobiles, clothes, shoes, groceries, furniture, etc. But the bulk of this second billion went for soft drinks and movies. Kramer says most of his troubles have come from former saloons that kept hanging on to see what the supreme court was going to do. Only 5,000 Saloons Deft Before prohibition there ware 100,- 000 saloons in America, and perhaps not 5,000 now—speakeasies where persons who are known can drink. The 100,000 persons employed at making beer and whisky a year ago have gone into other trades, and there is still a labor shortage. , Probably th? greatest economic saving has been the sobering up and rehabilitation of 1,500,000 men, who in the wet days were either incapacitated the “day after”- or in jail or in hospitals. Many of these were common drunkards. The drys say that scattered fig ures show workmen’s efficiency has been increased 15 per cent, crime reduced 50 per cent, drinking re duced 65 per cent/ that 50,000 per sons have been saved- death from alcoholism and that 60,000,000 bushels of foodstuffs were diverted from strong drink to other channels. At Baltimore a movie show was installed this year at Central ~0-lice lice station to amuse idle policemen. Prohibition cut down their work. At 11 of the principal cities In New Hampshire arrests for drunk enness numbered 1,660 for the last six months of 1919, as against 9,260 in similar period of 1917. No Prisoners, No Services. The sheriff in Carbon county, Pa., quit holding Sunday religious services at the jail because there were no prisoners to attend. In Philadelphia arrests for drun kenness were: wet July, 1918— 7,580; dry July, 1919—5,088. In Erie, Pa., the cost of feeding prisoners in July, 1918, was $3,151 and in July, 1919, reduced to $1,185! despite rising prices. Thomas W. White, Massachusetts state supervisor of administration,, says prohibition out down court maintenance by one-half. The government fiscal analysis at Worcester, Mass., shows savings banks accounts show an increase of 50 per cent since July 1, 1919. Enforcer Kramer says Keeley in stitutes all over the country have had to quit, the last one to throw up the sponge being at Columbus, O. The commissioners ol ten Pennsyl vania counties had planned to build a ten-county workhouse for prison ers. Plans of financing it were about ready before prohibition came.- A meeting was held by the commis sioners Nov. 29, 1919. and all agreed that there were no prisoners to be sent to it, and the joint organiza tion of commissioners was disband ed and the plans dropped. Warden Lewis, Philadelphia jail, says arrests for drunkenness have decreased 80 cent in his c\ty. Warden Lee, Ba,.'*more jail, says ar rests for all causes has been reduced 50 per cent. In Connecticut the state farm for drunkards has been abandoned. In Boston the arrests from July to December. 1918, were 28,860 and the same period in 1919 only 8.920, reduction of 19,940. Sheriffs Can’t Make Diving. Sheriffs all over the country are resigning because they can no long er make a living feeding prisoners. This used to be the principal source of revenue to a sheriff. In Houston, Tex., the city farm that formerly had from fifty to one i hundred prisoners all the time be-1 came absolutely deqopulated when i prohibition hit. It was finally rent- ; ed to a Japanese. Many jails over the country are : being converted into hotels and! apartments to solve the housing I shortage. ‘ No, prohibition hasn’t complete- ; ly prohibited. But it has ruined John Barleycorn’s business. The enforcement bureau here holds to the theory that the' higher the price goes, the more successful the law is. At the Chicago convention booze was selling at $7.50 to sls a pint, demand strong. Buying it by the drink one pays about $75 a quart in New Y’ork. Woman Divorced 13 Times Mrs. Alice Yocum, recently of Boone, lowa, and previously a resD dent in various other cities of the middle west, thinks her record of thirteen marriages and thirteen di-' vorces is without a parellel—and the judge who severed her latest matri monial bonds agreed with her.

Was murdered by the use of the .“Paris strangle,” was the opinion of Coflhty Physician George L. Warren, after an autopsy. According to the stories of several men in the saloon at the time of Rockrock’s death, he entered and reeled, giving them the impression that he was drunk. Suddenly he fell to the floor and became uncon scious. The police sent him to the city hospital. Dr. Warren found that Rockrock had died from strangulation. There were no marks about his throat. *nd this led the physicians to conclude that the “Paris strangle” had been employed. That method, he said, was to tie a silk handkerchief tightly around the peck of the victim, causing the large arteries of the brain to tighten and close. The handkerchief leaves no telltale mark on the throat, Dr. War ren said. The method has been used by thugs in Paris and India. Rockrock, according to acquaint ances, usually carried S7OO or SBOO with him and wore a large diamond pin. He had neither when he died. Negro Doctor Is Held for Murder ST. JOSEPH, Mo.—Dr. F. N.
