Two kinds of gas are obtained from coal

These are illuminating gas and manufac'

BOSTON Mass, August ~, 1921
Bulsn enthusiasm still characterizes
stock market trading and prices are
bounding upward at rapid pace. Early
last week something OF a reaction took
place and 1t looked for time IA though
the TOP of the boom had been reached,
but it proved TO be only a temporary re-
action. Reports OF crop damage were
induslrously circulated TO assist the de-
cline; investigation, however, showed
that the reports had been greatly exag-
gerated and il il certain that. notwith-
standing slight damages sustained by
the crops in several places, the crops will
be large and the railroads will have all
they can do to provide a sufficient num-
her OF cars to move it fast enough. Last
weeks boom incu led, principally, those
railroad shares upon which il is expected
that dividends soon are TO be increased.
Rock Island, which has been paying 2
ger cent per anuum, rose above 80 on the
prospect that the dividend il 20 be in
creased TO 4 per cent, Omaha, which
only recently entered the divid nd st
paying 2 per cent last February. got
above Il on similar prospects. Other
examples might be noted but these are
sufficient TO show that the game OF spec
ulation il not satisfied to wait for the
increasing dividend payments, but pre-
iers to discount the probability OF the
event happening, little consideration
being given to the likelihood OF disap-
pointment. Statistics are freely used to
support the position OF the bulls, al
though it is well known fact that moth
ing is more deceptive than statistics; be-
cause the average dividends paid upon a
certain stock, during given nu nber O'
years past, equals per cent on the pres
ent market price, it does not follow nee
-essarily that the average dividends OF the
neg / few years will be the same, although
tue stock market operators seem to think
that such ID the case.
The general situation appears to be i'm
proving; but the daily press, evidently, il
locking through telescope, judging
from opinions expressed therein. A gen
tleman connected with one OF the larg,
investment companies, which has made
speciality Of farm mortgages in the west
gays it will take several years OF dollar
wheat to put the farmers on their feet &
nancally, and that the stories In tn
eastern papers about the great prosper

'ng. OF course. he says the farmer

comes slump in the grain market, an

ciuctly so far as the prosperity IN the
west il concerned. In the east, factories
and mills are startingup, after periods OF
idIeness OF various lengths. and increas-
ing bank clearings Indicate more activity
in trade. Comparisons OF railroad earn
ings and bank clearings at present; with
last wears figures, make decidedly favor
able showings, but 1t should be remem-
bered that last year was one OF general
depression in all lines OF trade and rai'-
road earnings and bank clearings at that
time were much below the average, max
ing the comparisons valuable only as
showing that business has resumed nor
nal activity and that the period OF de-
preston has passed. Steaditr employ
ment and higher wages for the laborlng
class are needed now TO make the busi-
ness Improvement effective, for already
have the prices OF many OF the necessities

or compensation in the way OF increased

There is little that il new to say oil the
copper market; it holds steady at recent
quotations and the mining companies are
Fl N in their asking prices. The small
July production and the large exports
during that month, undoubtedly, had a
good effect upon the domestic market Tor
the metal. 1t is asserted upon good au-
thority that the Calumet and Hecla CON-
pany has sold to representative oil the
French government 5000 long tons OF
copper at Tx cents. but the statement Ia
denied upon equally good authority.
The writer has reason to believe that the
story OF the sale is substantially correct
and that the denial is merely technical.
LOO mries for 10000 long tons OF copper
have been made by the French govern
mept and liz cents was bid for that
amount, but the bid was rejected, liz
cents being named as the lowest price at
which the copper would be sold. where

The efforts OF the bear party in the cop
per shares to keep prices down aud to
discourage buyers have not been success

the list show strength. Centennial has
been conspicuous recently and has scored

more favorable advices from the Lake.
Butte has risen despite the storits emf
mating from nside circles that the mine
was long ways from earning dividends.
In the gold stocks, Pioneer has advanced
recently upon the more favorable out

to be earning about $4,000 net per
month over ali it's construction and run
ming expenses, and it's prospects are
brighter than at any time during the

by both roads for beer was Is cents per
hundred between Cincinnati and Pitts
burg. The Panhandle road had side
track at Bruening's place of business,
so that it could unload shipments on his
premises, while it cost him 1-2 cents
per hundred to haul the goods from the
Baltimore and Ohio station. To secure
the business, the Baltimore and Ohio
made arrangement to deliver the goods
to Bruenings warehouse. and afterward
Bruening offered to do the hauling him
self for IL cents per hundred, paying
the railway 10 cents per hundred freight
and presenting monthly bill for 1-2
cents per hundred weight to the railway
company, which was paid. Henry Wolf,
another dealer, paid the same freight
rates and was also paid for his hauling,
the distance being nearly as great as Mr..
Bruening's goods were hauled. Com
plaint was made that the arrangement
was in violation of the section of the in
terstate commerce act prohibiting re-
bates. drawbacks, etc. and first the cir
cult court and today the supreme court
sustained this contention.
The court denied petitions for rehear-
ing in the case of Sentell VS.. the New

pany. The case was the one in which the
court decided that damages could not be

Rogers proved that he is a very fast
sculler at two miles, as he came near de-
feating Jake Gaudaur. The race was
for the championship of America, the
Fox challenge cup, $500 side and a
purse presented by Orillia.
Lake Couchiching was alive with craft.
A stiff northwest wind prevailed and
made the water very lumpy. The two
men got away on very even terms. Both
stroked very slow on account of unfavOra-
BILE wind and weather. Both steered in
shore, Rogers having the shore position.
Half n mile from the start Gaudaur was
clear from Rogers and crossed his bow
to get close to the shore. He continued
to forge ahead, and at the turn, mile
away, was about four lengths in advance.
Rogers, however, had steered better
course, and the champion lost nearly all
of his advantage in going out to his buoy.
The return home was a fine struggle.
Both men were very tired, and Gaudaur
said after the race that he suffered great
ly from cramps in the fOrearms, caused
by holding his oars in the rough water.
Rogers pulled very plucky race, but
was unable to pass the champion, who
won by length and a half.
Gaudaur said he never rowed a harder
race in his life. but he was satisfied he
could beat Rogers easily in smooth water.
