Weekly Trade Review United Mine Workers-Canal Treaty Signed-Fran-chise Tax Law Bombardment ol San Carlos Candidates Need Not File Expenses Leader Defeated. The climax of the senatorial fight In Colorado came when ex-Senator Wol cott, the candidate of the so-called "Stalwart" wing of the Republican party, announced his practical with drawal from any further contest, and urged the people of Colorado to accept the situation as it stands, by the elec tion of Senator Henry M. Teller to suc ceed himself. The announcement was made In a. Blgued statement In which Mr. Wolcott charges certain Republican leaders as sociated with the anti-Wolcott forces In the Republican ranks with treach ery, deliberate and continuous, al though he disposes of others of the anti-Wolcott crowd by characterizing them as "dupes" of the main conspira tors. Continuing Mr. Wolcott said: "There wore three joint sessions of the geu eral assembly. At the last one 31 Democrats voted for Te'ler. No other joint session had been held and no Re publican had voted In a joint session. The election of Mr. Teller was tinct ured with fraud, first In the trickery ol adjournment by the Democrats of the house; second, in the arbitrary and fraudulent expulsion of two legally clecte.1 senators.

The price situation Is one of excep tlonal strength. Mild weather weak ens the price of country produce, such as butter and eggs.
