being firm though quiet at about the top.
Although the number of issues dealt in
was not large, the trading was not near
ly so much concentrated in a few stocks
as for some time past. In the steel
group the gains ranged from a point to
two and two and a quarter, the latter
figures in National Steel and American
Steel and Wire. There was no exception
in the group to the upward tendency,
which was due to the report of the grow
ing demand for iron and iron products
of pretty much all grades. The progress
of negotiations for the settlement of
wage schedules which are in progress was
probably reflected also in the movement
Generally speaking the demand for stocks
is partly ascribable to the requirements

increased by several incidents of the day
Prices received an opening impetus to
an advance from the better tone of the
London market which was encouraged by
the reported success of General Roberts
against the Beers. Actual buying for the
London account was on a small scale.
Toward course Of the London discount
was checked however and the hope was
entertained that with the conclusion of
the stock exchange settlement there
money difficulties are Cbviated for the
immediate future. The statements OF
railroad earnings of the day were good,
including the Wabash annual report show
ing a prosperous year, and the st. Paul
report for July. The threat of a strike
of the anthracite coal miners did not
seem to affect the market and Erie first

COTTON.
New York August 29.-The entire
range of fluctuations in cotton futures to-
day was but seven points and the total
transactions were the smallest for any
day in many weeks, conservatively esti-
mated at $4,000 bales. After opening
steady with prices three points higher
to one point lower, demand from a few
shorts placed the trading level three to
five points above the final bids of last
night During the rest of the day depar-
ture from this basis was unimportant
and on all sides hesitation and indiffer
ence was manifested. The cables from
Liverpool were slightly better than an

crop reports and weather conditions
south were more reassuring cut little fig
ure as influence upon professional sem
timent. The public had little interest
in the market and was indisposed to
make fresh ventures until after the
holidays. The weather chart denoted
good rains in the extreme Western belt
with showers in the central and east
ern portions of the belt Rumors that
d squeeze of August shorts was to be
attempted in Liverpool were given color
by announcement in the public advices
that the August contracts have advanced

THE ECLIPSE AT NORFOLK.
Result of Observation by Georgetown
University Representatives..

University Representatives.
The party sent to Norfolk by Georgetown
University, under charge of the Rev. J. G..
Hagen, to view the eclipse of the sun, May
2S last, has returned to the city. Father
Hagen thus describes the results Of TIE OBJ
servations:
The place of observation was a station
south OF Norfolk, near the ocean, where
the duration OF totality was 1 minute 81
seconds. There were three observers from
| Georgetown University, and three from
Woodstock College. the former party ing
headed by Father Hagen, the latter b.
Father Hedrick. The programme consist
ed mainly in the visual and Photographic
study of the corona and the protuberances,
and was successfully carried out under
clear sky.
1.-THE white sand of the beach was favor
! able for the observation of the shadow
bands, so called by former Observers, but.
contrary 10 expectation, no trace Of this
phenomenon was evident. A 3-nGh te!e-
| scope was set up for the observation of the
| contacts and protuberanoes. Owing 10 the
shortness of the eclipse, the best visual
observation of the corona was obtained
with the aid of an opera glass. embracing
field of 5 degrees. 1t showed the inner and
outer corona in all the details. and two
large prominences in the south-following'
quadrant of the suns disk. The inner
corona consisted of narrow ring OF radiai
streamers around the moons limb. its bril-
liant whiteness standing out in strong con-
trast to the dark satellite. The outer
corona had two main features. a straight
white band. slightly broader than the
moons diameter, and extending along the
ecliptic, just south of the planet Mercury.
and polar streamers perpendicular to it.
north and south. very distinct. motionless,
and of white color. The two large protu-
berances were of crimson red. and grad
ually increased in size and brightness as
the moons disc came in contact with the
western limb of the sun.
'Since the cone of shadow thrown by the
moon was 20 narrow, the sky did not
darken enough to show any fixed stars to
the naked eye. But the dusky coloring of
the ocean and Of the sky above it, with the
planet Venus near the horizon, presented
a spectacle beyond description.
Two cameras were used and nineteen
quick exposures made. Rev. Jose Algue,
the director of the Manila Observatory.
kindly volunteered to sacrifice the precious
moments Of totality in recording the chro-
nometer for the Photographic exposures
The Photographs have revealed two inter-
esting facts, first. that the two prominences
had much more actinic power than the
planet Mercury, and. second, that the coro-
ma gave enough light to show the entire
disk of the moon about half minute after
the totality was over. Since the photo
graphs were taken by an ordinary camera
they are too small for reproduction"
