Some idea of the diversity of condi-
items In the state of Texas may be
Eained from the fact that there was
held within its borders a few years ago
at nearly the same date drainage
conference and an irrigation conven-
ton. One was at Galveston and the
other at San Antonio. Some persons
were thus studying means of lsssening
the amount of water over a large area
while others sought to Increase It, or
rather to make its supply for agricul-
tural purposes more regular.

The coming marriage of the Prin
cess OF the Asturias with the Neopoli-
tan Prince Charles Bourbon seems to
be causing much discomfort in Spanish
political circles. The princess is the
present heir of the king. who does not
attain his majority until seventeen
months hence, and debates in the
House of Deputies concerning the mat
ter are frequent. The general impress
sion now is that very few weeks are
likely to elapse before the government
is instructed to communicate officially
to the Cortes the event for which
have already been made.

Late Reaction on Improvement in
steel strike situation-Sunmary
OF Condition..

NEW YORK. Aug. 12-The government
crop report had a depressing effect in rail-
road stocks at the opening. and some sharp
declines were MADE. particularly in Rock
Island, Missouri Pacific. Union Pacific and
Atchison. The selling continued pretty
general throughout the first hour, traders
Offering stocks down more confidently
when grain prices rose strongly. Trad
ing then lapsed into semi-stagnation, and
fluctuations were unimportant until near
the close. when the shorts bought all
around and lifted the market substantially
above Saturdays closing prices. This
movement was not sufficiently explained,
but there was a vague report current that
the steel strike was settled. Large deal
ings were made in the United States Steel
stocks at the opening, the first transaction
in the common being 5000 shares at from
AZ to 421s. The fact that the strike order
was not obeyed in some districts aroused
a better feeling toward the stock and it
was in pretty fair demand throughout the
day. Final prices for the common and pre-
ferred were the best, and indicated net
gains respectively of rs and 2 points. Free
selling of Sugar attracted some attention.

was circulated that the president of the
mpa was seriously i'll and professionals
We're also inclined TO put out short lines
on the strength of the forthcoming oppo-
sition plant. The stock recovered 2 points
when the illness of Mr.. Havemeyer was
denied. Peoples Gas showed no trace of
its recent liquidation and moved strongly
upward, ending 2s higher. Western Union
was unusually prominent in the late deal
ings ana improved materially. The late
upward movement in the railroad list car
ried a number of stocks up from l to 2a
above the early low prices, with the inn
provement most pronounced in Missouri
Pacific, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
st. Paul and Atchison. The closing was
fairly active and strong.
The bond market was quiet to-day, and
few changes Of Importance were made.
Total sales at par value were $1,O15, 600.
United States bonds were all unchanged

Profit i'm Mining Investments.

American Mining News.
In legitimate mining a % per cent. divi-
dend is not considered startling, and The
mining interests OF the West are willing to
pay that interest for the use of the money,
fer, by the aid of capital, they open up
tremendous ore bodies that lead 10 still
greater fortune. The employment of &c., OO
in mining is the equivalent of SAC, 600 in al
most any other branch of industry.
For years the wOndrOus profits of the
metal industries have been whispered
among investors, who apparently were
afraid to let their neighbors know they
were identified in mining. but the recent
efforts OF the financial czars of the world
in forming combinations to control. first
the markets of the miner through the
smelling trust" and then the miner
through the "Analgamated Copper Trust"
have opened the eyes of the conservative
and modern investor, and they are making
efforts TO obtain their share of the metallic
wealth which nature has spread so Law
ishly.
Nature has laid her treasures in the
mountain recesses of the West. The
American miner searches them out. East
ern money makes possible their conversion
into bullion, and the joint results of the
miner and the capitalists maxi possible the
tremendous profits that signalize success
