NKW VOKIC, Aug. l'J.-lt is de

oilio Hliipmcnt, recently returned here,
expressed tho opinion that only n
r-tuall i'iirt (f that iun would bo
shipped across tho border.
There were further indications in
New York today Hint liny movement
looking lo urge tdiipmcnlrf of gold
lo Canada, whether for tlm Itank of
Knglaiid or for any other purpose,
will bo unpopular in hanking circles.
New York hankers deem it of the
highest iuiMiiiatiee that gold be held
here, n'gardlcsH of foreign obliga
tions. Them uro other ways, it was
pointed out, of meeting out' debts in
Loudon, and Jlicsc, it was argued,
should bo resorted to.
Money rates and foreign exchange
weni quotably easier today, but ac
tually without material changes. All
tiino rales continued on n ll to 8 per
cent basis, with soma offerings at the
lower figure. Kxcnango brokers
woro doing a little more business with
Londoi but nothing liko n general
movement in that direction is prob

cases tlio drop in prices since Mon

Coincident with tho boycott threats
hog receipts have enlarged greatly.

sheep and lambs thoro was on equal

SAN FRANCISCO. Oil., Aug. 12,
Whether the two Gorman meu-o'-

take any prizes is largely a mutter of
how long their eoal holds out. There
are eight British vessels and three
Frenchmen due hero at almost any
time.
Tho Leipzig can come into ort
for sufficient eoal to take her to the
nenrcst home port at any time die
wishes. In the ease of Oermnit ves
sels off this coast, the nearest home
port is Palunli, Island of Snvnii, Ger
man Samoa, distant between two and
three, weeks' steaming.
Tlm Nurnberg is in different
plight. Her last known port of call
was Honolulu under the American
flag, and she is not eligible to call
for coal at another American port
for three mouths sithncipient to (he
dnte of her departure, unless in the
menutimo sho touched at a home
port. Inasmuch us sho was sighted
wet of Honolulu on July 20, near
Midway Island, this is not believed
possible. Hither sin) must capture
eoal soon or put back to Samoa for
it. A possible complication in the
situation is that a Uritish trump
laden with coal consigned to the
United States coaling station at Cal
ifornia City, on San Fronoisoo bay,
is duo here soon. As a ship under the
registry of a hostilo tuition, this col
lier is technically liablo to capture,

A Dutch dispatch savs a terrific cannonading wa.i heard this
morning from thu direction of Tongres, north of Liege. It was
reported yestcnlny Hint two divisions of German cavalry with
artillery had arrived there.
Belgium was todav again tho scene of outpost fighting be
tween Belgians, Freneli and Germans. Tho German commander at
Liege denies the loss of 20,000 in his effort lo take tho forts
there. Ho says they will bo taken without the loss of u man as
soon as Genn'an heavy artillery arrives. He asserts that "tho
Belgian foree is numerically superior to ours." He intimates that
tho assaults were stopped by the cmioror's orders to avoid need
less sacrifice of life.
On the subject of Liege, the French foreign minister declares
all tha surrounding fort intact and that only n small force of
Geruluns entered the town itself under cover of darkucss. It
had been pointed out previously that tho defect of thu Licgo
forts was thu inability to see otto fort from the next, although thu
fiiM of their gnus crossed.
A Brussels dUputch says the bulk of tho German army is
leaving Licgo and advancing toward tho French frontier through
the heart of Belgium.
Tio French foreign inintsler described the Freneli position in
Alsiiqo us good, as the troops occupy tho cresls and passes of tho
Vosgts tuountuiiis.
Military experts studying Depositions of tho opposing armies
may, it is pointed out, possibly lutvo been confused ns to tho

Aisae running into tho Ourtho at Bomnl, below Licgo, and this
may he tho ono mentioned, us it would thus form an extension
of thu defensive works thrown up by thu Germans ufter thoy en

DISINTEGRATION
OF
Federal District Court Finds Inter
national Harvester Company a
Corporation in Restraint ef Trade
Financial Methods Geed, Deal
ings en the Level, But a Menefaly.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 12. Tho
International Harvester company to
day was declared lo be a monopoly
in restraint of interstate and for
eign trade, and was ordered dissolved
by a majority decision in the United
States district court.
Unless the $HO,000,000 corpora
tion submits a plan for the dissolu
tion of the combination into nt least
three indqicudcnt concerns within B0
days, or in enso of appeal within 00
days of tho issuance of nn appeal
mandate from tho United Stales su
preme court, tho decision nnnoiinc.es
that tho court will entertain an ap
plication for the appointment of n
receiver for nil the properties of tho
con. h) ration.
Seaborn DleU
Tho decision of tho court was
given by Circuit Judge Waller I.
Smith of Iowa, with which Judgo
William C. Hook of Kaaaa agreed,,
and from which Judgo Walter A.
Sanbom of Minnesota dissented.
Tho mnjority opinion held that the
International Harvester company
was Xroni its organization in 1902 in
violation of tho Sherman law. The
original corporation, formed of five
concerns, violated the first section
of tho Sherman act by restraining
competition among themselves. The
combined organization also tended to
monopolize trade in contravention of
tho second section of this law.
The decision declares that while
tho International Harvester company
and its selling organization, tho In
ternational Harvester Company of
America, control from 80 to 8" per
cent of the trade in agricultural im
plements manufactured by them,
their treatment of smaller competit
ors in general has been fair and just.
