Shanghai, Oct. 18.-—Three Atnerlean
warships, the cruiser Hudson and the
light cruisers Albany and New Or-
leans. arrived here today. On board
the Huron, the flagship, was Admiral
Albert Gleaves. commander of the
American Asiatic fleet.
In connection with the lack of uit-
tlientifleatIon of the Shanghai rumor
of the Peking overturn, the fact may
be noted that last night a message
was received from the Associated
Press correspondent in Peking dated
October 1-, the same date as that on
which the Shanghai cablegram was
sent. The Peking message contained
no hint of any governmental compli-
cations.

these reductions cause the dealer to

which has hw£ii given him by tne
large wholesaler 4tnd the Joblier in the
past fear weeks —not qti goods alrekdy
ou the shelves, but lb goods tf- be
bought. The reason fot"these fwduc-
tiona by the wholesalers and Jobber Is
because these firms are well stocked
on goods and desire to give the public
the benefit, now of lower market prices.
Local merchants do not intend to
hold their prietw up longer tlian Nec-
essary; then move their goods tyr

stated. Instead, patrons will be given
the lieneflt of gradual reductions from

already noticeable In all of the leau-
