THE NEWS-RECORD, MARSHALL, N. C. PRODUCTION IS III HIGH LEVEL PRONOUNCED WEAKNE8S SHOWN BY THE CHIEF SPECULATIVE MARKETS. L SHARES DROP i i Cotton Lott Nearly Two Cent and ' Wheat Reacted Approximately Pour Cents. NEW STATE OFFICE WRECKED IN BLAST. New York. With production still holding at high levels, itnerest in financial and business circles center ed during the past week in the rathei pronounced weakness shown by th chief speculative markets. The average of Industrial sharet listed on the New York stock ex change declined four points, cotton lost nearly two cents and wheat react ed approximately four cents. Among other commodities which show a ten dency to decline were copper, lead, rubber and -sugar. Meanwhile publica tlons of tha prices indicates compiled by Dun and Bradstreet brought out the point that, the movement was a continuation of the heavier tendency In prices which became evident ic April. Diverse explanations were offered tor the declines and various interpre tations were placed on their signifi cance. In some quarters it was held that the reactions werea natural ac companlment of the slackening of the baying movements which have been so strongly maintained during the ear ly spring. According to this vjew business seldom continues in a steady stream, but comes rather In waves One such wave admittedly has ended and a new one would not be expected to start Immediately. Those who ex tilaln the situation in this fashion also point out that the season of the yea 1s at hand at which buying naturally would slacken. Another group of observers mam tain, however, that other forces ar at work. They point to what they de scribe and claim that the ontput oi labor is now diminishing. Productior costs they aver are being inflated In spite of thi3 view conditions it the cotton industry are cited. Manu facturers are reported to have acquir ed substantial stocks of cotton at the 30-cent level in addition they have since be enforced to increase wages Jobbers and retailers meanwhile, are not confident of their ability to com mand higher prices and their buying has fallen off. Under these circum stances the manufacturers are reduc ing their rate of operation and are buying less cotton which naturally af fects the price of comomdity. With the latter some three of four cents be low the price at which manufacturers are carrying their inventories the question of profits, is of course, very much to the fore. Raleigh, N.

A gavel in the hands of a judge has been substituted for a tomahawk in the hands of a trave by the great Sioux nation in Its fight to recover about $750,000,000 from the federal government as payment with interest for lands and property taken from them by the pale-face years ago. Of this total demand more than half billion dollars represents Interest. The suit of the Sioux, said to in volve the largest sum ever sought through Judicial action, will be filed In the United States court of claims, counsel announced and will specify 40 snearate counts. The claim dates back to the days of the gold rush in the Black Hills of South Dakota, the Deadwood coach, Sitting Bull General Custer, the Little Bie Horn.

The American gov ernment, taking a positive position with regard to the transportation of liouor into territorial waters of the United States, decreed that the rigor ous Interpretation of the prohibition law given by the supreme court shall become effective June 10. Secretary Hughes was requested by the treasury to communicate no tice of the decision to all foreign gov ernments. The treasury which has jurlstdiction over all prohibition en forcement suggested that the state department advise foreign govern ments that all ships entering the three mile limit will be subject to the new application of the law without exception and that no further pro nouncement may be expected from this government regarding the effec tive date. While the position adopted by the administration appeared to leave no road for a backward step, it seemed certain that representations will come from some foreign governments who may regard the court's interpretation of the law as an infringement of their rights. Secretary Hughes was said to regard the position of the American government as sound and with plenty of precedents establishing the rights which it has assumed. There were, on the other hand, some government officials who believed the . United States could not fall, in the interest of International tomity, to take notice of protests by foreign governments, if any are made. , Washington embassies and lega tions of practically all of the mari time powers of the world already have advised their home govern ments ot the court decision. It was indicated that the attitude taken by the United States government as to application likewise would be made known to the foreign offices ot all na tions probably before the state de partment's communication is received through American diplomatic repres entative sabroad. While state department officials are of the opinion that the decision has in no way infringed upon treaties with foreign governments, it is not certain that the foreign powers will accept that view. In fact, some dip lomatic quarters already have let it be known that limitations Imposed by the decision are in direct conflict with treaty provisions, particularly in trade agTeemnets guaranteeing equality of treatment to shipping. ah poHvIHpb the last conference, Rirhmonad.
