It Is yet too soon to gauge the full effect of the fail ure but It is evident that among Us many results will be a curtailment of commercial credits. The market gave an indubitable exhi bition of strength in the face of extra ordinary conditions. That prices yield ed but little was accepted as evidence of a liquidated condition. Shares of a few commercial companies, registered de clines hut otherwise the list held rela tively firm. Conditions In the steel Industry re main unchanged, albeit trade authorities express the opinion that the last half ot the year will be worse than the first half Copper metal continued to shade In price and the state of that trade re flected s further reduction In demand. Crop conditions, except for unfavor able weather In parts of the middle west and southwest, lose little of their brlghi promise. Railroad returns for May were mainly disappointing Quoted rates for time money show little change. Golil exports continue but In more moderate volume. You remember the laet Dollar Day n Augusta?

The opening, which was 1-4 off to 1-8 up, was followed by a rise all round. Drought and damage reports from Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri and Okla homa brought about a rusht of buying in corn. After opening 1-8 to l-2a5-8 higher, the market continued to bulge. Oats hardened with corn. Although provisions at first showed a downward bent the market later *re sponded to the strength of corn.

Crop prospects apparently have Improved during the past liree weeks, but a feel ing prevails that unusually favorable growing conditions will be necessary to make an adequate supply. Some appre hension developed as to the effect of the very high temperatures reported east of the river. lYlvate reports as to acreage have ranged from a deorcase of 1.5 per cent to an Increase of 2,3 per cent; Manchester trade advices have been un favorable. but I.lerpool has been stead ier, and the Claflln troupes have also had their unsettling Influence on senti ment. Predictions as to the probable showing of the government evop report next Wednesday, however, have ranged from about 77 to 79 per cent as to con dition, as compared with 80.7 per cent— the ten-year average, while many traders say they expect the acreage to be about the same or possible a little lean than last year, and the prompt stopping of July notices today helped the tone of the market. | NEW YORK STOCK MARKET New York. -The two-liour session on the stock exchange today was barren of developments. Prices inclined slight ly toward a higher level and the Claflin failure, with its attendant circumstances, appered to be forgotten for the time. The market closed firm. Virtually all the business was trans acted In the first half hour after which the market fell back to its recent stag nant state. Prices receded here and there but the movement was too insig nificant to warrant extended comment. A two point decline in Rock Island 5s was the only feature of the bond divis ion.

THE FUTURE I lUIIK IU. S. Instruction of Officers and Men Going Forward Rapidly at Pensacola Flying School. Washington— Preparations for in struction of officers and nien of the future air navy of the United States are going rapidly forward at the navy’s flying school at Pensncola, Fla. Canvas hangers now are hous-. ing the machines and the shops and buildings of the naval station are be ing adapted to the other needs of this branch of the service. Naval aero nautical experts believe Pensacola has many advantages as a site Tor the new school. A course of instruction for air pi lots and one for mechanicians has been approved by Secretary Daniels and a class of officers and enlisted men fill be detailed to take the courses preparatory to the "air ser vice of the sea,” A post-graduate course will be provided for promising students who may be sent abroad or to technical hchools in this country. “The regular course for the pres ent,” said Secretary Daniels today, "i‘s laid out for one year until furthei experience may change this period. From among the students each year the officers will also bo selected to continue on duty at the school as in structors In order to graduate from the school and be eligible Tor a post graduate course or to bo selected as an instructor, each student must have qualified for and received a navy air pilots certificate. When officers graduate front the school they will go into regular service in the air craft that will then be in commission and serving with the fleet. The air craft win take their place in that branch of the fleet that provides for its ‘security and information’ by pro tecting the fighting battleships from the air craft, submarines and mines of the enemy and scouting for Infor mation of the location and strength of the enemy’s fighting fleet. They very probably will form a part of the fighting element by attacking other air eraftaml dropping bombs on sub marines, torpedoe craft and the enemy's battleships.” AUGUSTA QUOTATIONS GROCERIES.

Atlanta. —The prohibition war in the legislature has broken loose just as predicted when tlie Macon members tried to legalize the sale and manu facture of real beer. They. Imd their answer when Representative Full brightt of Rurke, came hack with the most sweeping prohibition bill which ever reached the Georgia house. It hibits the manufacture, sale, keeping for sale barter or giving away to en courage trade of any liquor containing more than one half of one per cent of alcohol. If that bill ever Is passed— and enforced—Georgia will be the dry est spot this side of the great Sahara desert. Love and marriage and divorce had their innings also in the assembly. Representative Parker of Liberty of fered a hill providing that when two young hearts began to beat ns one nnd to figure on keeping house they must publish in a newspaper, for four weeks hi succession, an announcement that they contemplated embarking on the matrimonial sea. Then, when they hud proved this to the ordinary ttiey could get a. license and become one. Rut Senator Hixon stopped in Just then with a senate 1)111 which would throw further difficulties in the way. His bill provides that the bride and groom to be must furnish each other and the proper authorities with a phy sician's certificate that they are welt strong, have no contagious or com municable disease and are fully equip ped to lie married. This Is the famous "eugenic.” bill introduced by Senator Hixon last year, but mysteriously lost in the shuffle. Mr. Heck of Carroll desires that the tax commissioner he elected by the people Instead of being apointed by the governor, and offered a bill to that effect. A Dill Is ulso before the house to have the game and fish warden elected by the people. No session was held today, both houses having adjourned until Mon day. Georgia School Books. Atlanta, Ga.— A new and economical way out of (lie stale text hook dilemma wl.lch is disturbing.the legislature at this session Is offered by Dudley M. Hughes, congressman from Georgia, in a bill introduced in the national house. The bill provides that the state may send to the public printer at Washington the rnaniiscrlp of any book to be used in the elementary schools and the public printer shall print and bind as many of the books as are necessary and supply to the state at cost, Mr. Hughes made inquiries and found that the government could pub lish such books at a flguro far below tthe cost of regular firms, and that it would be ent'rely feasible to have the government office do the work.

Feor of punishment, either on account of some childish prank, or, often enough, because of bad marks at school. In the year 1912 there were no fewer than 112 suicides of children of 15 years and younger. The num ber of suicides between the age of 15 and 20 Is nor given, but must he very much higher since occasloiiHlly within the past few months, there have been as many as five cases reg istered In the course of a single day in Berlin alone. The total number of male suicides in the year was 0,1104, female suicides 2,119. Of these there were 9fi boys of 15 years and younger and Ifi girls. Of these two hoys and one girl were not even ten years old. You rimambar the last Dollar Day in Augusta? There’s going to ba an other one soon. Watch for it, in the Augusta Herald.

MORNING WITH THE RECORDER The almost complete state of nature was attained by one Lizzie Jenkins, colored, yesterday afternoon nftor a lively engagement with one of her friends, or rather enemies, named Gertrude. The "almost,” the second word in Ihe above sentence, is put In for the sake of delicacy. After a few moments of deadly combat, Lizzie de cided to leave her adversary, who was getting the better of her, and in doing sit she also left the entirety of her earthly raiment in Gertrude's hands, which wore clenched noon her simple garments in a death-like grip. Like a moth that tears itself from Its coceoon she fled across the street and took re fuge behind the counter of a small store, where she remained at bay until the police arrived. Here Is the story of the affair with all its antecedents and consequen ces: Lizzie, a small but alert negress of powerful build, last week bought a “side” of cocaine from a wo.i.an named Katie. In some way th«*v were cap tured by the police, Lizzie with the oaoor of cocaine in her hat, and in the course of subseque: t events she Informed the police shat she had bought the cocaine from Kutie, Katie is now reposing in jail in conse quence. Katie lived in Perrin's Bottom, with her sister Gertrude. The latter, incensed and humiliated ut her sister’s arrest, vowed the ven geance of fire and the sword against Lizzie as the cause thereof. And Lizzie, aware of this, steered clear of Perrin’s Bottom for a week. But il so happend that yesterday she was forced to go up there to the store, and the following is her own version of what came of it: "I knowed dey was goln’ to gang me of J went up dere, Dey done said so, so 1 jes’ slipped up to de sto'e, like, kind o’ careful.
