CONSUMERS REFUSE TO BOY; DRY GOODS MARKET UNCERTAIN

f NEW YORK. July 2. Tlie cloa ot 1 the fiscal year and the half year finds the dry goods trade in an unsettled and an uncertain state. Liquidation of a severe character has occurred In the Bilk Industry, and In a less drastie way. It la proceeding In the wool industry. Hesitation in buying at high prices has been eo plain that most merchants are agreed that whatever the .course of costs may be in the Immediate future consumers will not pay on the highest levels for the possible output of the millB. Although cotton and flax are relatively scarce, buyers of linens and cot- , tons are resisting high prices. In some aspects the trade is in a critical position The mills have so little confidence In the prices they ask that as soon as orders expire they give notice of a curtailment of production. They will not accumulate goods.

Many Orders Held Up There are still millions of dollarB worth of goods due on order, and most

of these goods were purchased at

prices that . mills cannot duplicate and guarantee delivery at this time, nor for some time to come. In the silk and wool goods trades, where the raw materials underwent a sharp decline, and - where finished goods prices were offered tor spring and fall at ridiculously high levels,

many orders were canceled. Yet those

who booked many of these orders

doubted whether they could hold In

the event of any minor unsettlement.

MOBt merchants in the trade believe that the underlying cause of the

hesitation is the condition of the

money market or the capital required

for financing the high prices that have

come about. - The bank pressure has been persistent, -and the money rates are abnormally high. To the heads of houses there two things are control

ling. Think Market Will Come Back

Among sales, department managers

and so on there Is a strange insistence

that the market will soon come back

and even still higher prices will pre

vail. They are moved by the condition

of supply and the feeling that the pur

chase power of the mass of people has undergone no vital change in the past three months. ANDOVER, Mass, July 2 The principal mills of the American Woolen

company, now operating only three

days a week, will be shut down completely for an indefinite period on July 10, President William ,M. Wood announced Thursday.

Cancellation of orders filled or ready to be filled, and curtailment of orders for next season's goods, he said, made the stoppage necessary. He said It was impossible to forecast how long the mills would have to be kept closed.

Humor Helps Along in Dull Convention Hours CHICAGO, 111., July 2. The long hours of oratory that mark every national political convention may bore the tired delegates and spectators nearly to the point of exhaustion, but never kill their sense of humor. Occasionally a witty sentence or a quick rejoinder has been credited with having had a greater effect on the final result than all the oratory of the picked spell-binders. At the recent Republican gathering at Chicago, Prank B.' Willis, former governor of Ohio, was nominating Senator Warren G. Harding for the presidency. Ohio was far down In the list. The 13,000 sweltering persons, who crowded the big Coliseum had listened with cnly half-interest to more than five hours of fervid oratory when Willis, closing his speech, said: "Well, boys and girls, let's nominate Harding." The friendly humor brought a ready response. The next day, when the landslide toward Harding began, an Ohio admirer of the senator who had inscribed the sentence on a huge Bheet of cardboard dropped it from the gallery, It made an instantaneous hit Earlier in the contest, a negro delegate from , Oklahoma, appearing before the credentials committee at 3 o'clock in the morning to press his claim for a seat, put new life into that hody and won hia point by a remark. Having told how the "lily white" side had held its convention in a hotel from which negroes were barred by the proprietor, he said: "Why, gentlemen, in Oklahoma there's 'Jim Crow-ism from the henhouse to the hotel." In the laugh that followed a motion to seat the contestant was carried unanimously.

PENNSY UNIVERSITY TOWN IS INTERESTED IN HARDING WASHINGTON, Pa., July 2. If Warren G. Harding is elected president of the United States, this pretty little university city In the hills of western Pennsylvania will be bound up closer than ever with the White House, for not only did Senator Harding's ancestor live here but the father of President Wilson also was a resident of Washington. Senator Harding's great-grandfather, William Van Kirk, was one of the early settlers of Franklin township, and he .nd his wife are buried in the family graveyard on the Charles Van Kirk farm near Point Lookout. Senator Harding is honorary president of the Van Kirk family society and frequently has attended the annual reunion here. President Wilson's father, Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson, was born at Steubenville, O., not far from here and in 1848 became pastor of the Hills Presbyterian church at Canonsburg, near Washington. Here the family remained until their removal to Virginia where the president was born a 6hort time afterward.

SUFFRAGE LEADER IN TENNESSEE

( I ) W Sae S. White, 'v

Miss Sue S. White of Nashville. Tenn chairman of the National Woman's party, has been placed in charge of the campaign fcrr ratification of the suffrage amendment by Tennessee in the special session "of that state's legislature. Governor Roberts is said to have called the special session in response to the president's request largely upon the basis of legal opinions gathered by Miss White in spite of a provision in the Tennessee constitution which requires an election to intervene between the submission and ratification of an amendment. Miss White's Washington assignment has been until recently as national research chairman of the party. She was formerly executive secretary of the Tennessee commission for the blind, and is now the youngest head of a state suffrage organization.

Rural Carriers of 6th Will Meet on July 4 An all day meeting of the rural carriers of the Sixth congressional district will be held at Rushville court

house, Sunday, July 4, ieginning at 10 a. m. Among the most important sub

jects to be brought up at this meet

ing will be an effort to bring about the repeal of the 50 mile motor routes law and the withdrawal of the present

60 mile routes, and the enactment of a law preventing any route being more than 30 miles in length, with increased salaries for standard routes of 24

miles, and the same rate of pay over

that as paid for the first 24 miles. An other subject of importance is the in

surance feature, whereby $300 will be paid to a carrier's family upon his death. J. Cletus Stambaugh, a rural

carrier of York, Pa., who has appeared

before the senate postoffce committee and the Joint commission on postal

salaries will make the principal ad dress.

EVERY WORD WAS FROM BOTTOM OF JIS HEART Richmond citizen very earnest in his praise of the great herbal tonic, Dreco, which has done so much for him. Pain in back, rheumatism' nerves shot to pieces, could not sleep, limbs stiff and muscles sore. Now well as ever.

"One day I read about what a man said about Dreco taking a load off his back which felt like a ton of brick and I laughed at It but I now know that every word he said came from the bottom of his heart," declared Mr. H. E. Pleck, who is a car inspector and

lives at 2006 N. F St., Richmond, Ind. "I want to tell everyone what Dreco has done for me. I was so bent from suffering I was afraid I would be permanently deformed, as the rheumatism had such a hold on me. My back and limbs were sore and stiff; muscles were drawn and the joints seemed to be dry; my nerves were shot to pieces so that I could not sleep; I had shooting pains in my back and side. Really I was in bad shape but Dreco has certainly proven a blessing to me as I know more relief from pain now than in years; I can bend about and stoop over without the slightest pain; sleep sound at night; getting stronger day by day. I strongly advise sufferers to try Dreco and they won't be disappointed". No medicine introduced here has sprung into such favor as Dreco. Hardly a day passes but what some person drops in and tells of the excellent results Dreco has produced for them. It cleanses the system of impurities, increases the appetite and sends new energy bounding through every nerve; it restores the kidneys to healthy action and makes the sluggish liver waken; relieves indigestion, gastritis and constipation; quiets the nerves and promotes sound, refreshing sleep. It acts on the blood and banishes catarrh and rheumatism from the system. All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem. Thistlethwaite's seven drug stores.
