LAUNCHING OF LIGHTsHIP.
VIII Be Placed In the Water Today
at p. m.

The contractors who are engaged in
moving the lightship are confident that
the vessel will be placed in the water
az .. m. today. and later she win be
towed to Astoria. where the repair
work Will be completed.
The lghtship was moved 10 feet yes
terday and when the work for the day
ceased the craft was within 125 feet Of
the point where she will be launched.
The contractors are much elated over
the success Of their novel plan for
moving the lightship and although they
are behind on the contract time It Is
not probable that the government will
exact the forfeit named in the bond
owing to the difficulties with which the
work was beset.

Corn opened higher and maintained a
strong tone all day. The support. as yes

fessional bulls, though at times there was
some evidence of outsiders coming into
the market again. Local bears made a
drive at prices in the last hour but did
not make much impression. Advices from
the West are that the rains have not
been of much benefit and a half crop is
the best that can be looked for In Ne

Eight to Twelve Members.

Eight tn Twelve Members.
BALTIMORE, July S1.-At meeting
of the directors of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, held here today, the bylaws of
the company were amended and the board
increased from eight to twelve. The
meeting was called to assemble in New
York, but owing to lack of a quorum
| the directors who gathered there came to
Baltimore and the necessary number was
secured. Following are the four directors
chosen: James NJ. Barr, of Portsmouth,
Va; F. r. .-emberton. of New York: E.
y. Addison. of Richmond. Va, and George
w. Watts, of Durham, n. c.
Mr.. Barr is first vice president and
general manager of the system and has
full charge of its operation. 1t was un-
derstood that he would be elected di-
rector when his selection as first vice
president was arranged. Mr.. Pemberton
is of the New York banking house of
Pemberton x McAdoo. This firm has been
liberal supporter of Seaboard interests.
and with its influential financial condi-
tions represents large holdings of Sea-

ginia- Carolina Chemical Company. which
is a 100000 combination controlling

4 sharp Rise in Canadian Pacific the
London Feature

LONDON. July 31.-The only noteworthy
incident of todays markets here was the
sharp rise in Canadian Pacific shares.
This was ascribed to buying orders from
New York.
Today's strong demand for money, with
resultant rise in the rate on call, is partly
explained by heavy payments in full on
the new British consols. BY anticipating
the five remaining installment dues, the
discount at the rate of an annual 2A per
cent is obtained, and the operation now
compares very favorably with investment
in bills on the general money market.

LOCAL BUSINESS NOTES.

Interest Due Today.

l
/ Much interest is felt among business
men generally over the question If the
| interest payment will be made on the
| bonds of the Metropolitan Railway and
the City and Suburban Railway. due to-
| day. The bonds are both per cent is
sues. and in each case semi-annual pay
ment is due, amounting TO $i3 750 and
$3.50, respectively. No official statement
has been made regarding the matter. and
in view of the fact that the Washington
Traction and Electric Company which
| controls both railways. did not pay the
interest on its own bonds "A few months
ago, some fear as to the present pay
ments naturally has arisen. a further
fact which adds to the uncertainty in the
situation is that the City and Suburban
Company did not earn its fixed charges
last year friend of the Washington
Traction Company, who is usually well
informed regarding its affairs. made the
positive statement yesterday that the in
| terest will be paid on both issues today
that, in fact. the interest checks have
been made out already. The street gen.
orally considered this information salts
| factory. but there are still some conserva-
tive people who doubt If the City and
Suburban interest will be paid. Among
these people there seems to be a DISPOSE
ton to separate the City and Suburban
from the metropolitan on the tudt
the Washington Traction Company does
not care much for its control of the
one as 1t does for its ownership of the
other.
The local stock market yesterday was a
trifle less dull than in recent sessions.
There was a good buying of Lanston
Monotype, $50 shares changing hands at
lies and 200 shares at 14&4. The same in
terest that has been the chief purchaser
of the stock recently was again in evil
dence, though 1t did not absorb all the
stock taken yesterday. small block of
Washington Market also changed hands
at H.
The continued rather heavy buying of
Lanston is either the cause or the result
of various more or less interesting rumorS
regarding Developments in Lanston af-
fairs" 1t is stated, for instance, that
one party within the past few months has
bought 1000 shares of the stock for in
vestment." and the people that circulate
this story suggest that such a large pur-
chase would hardly be made in the dark.
The talk of the deal for the consolida-
ton of the Lanston. the Mergenthaler.
lated industriously, but as far as this
story is concerned officers of the Mer
genthaler have stated positively recently
that no such deal is in contemplation.
They suggest that other concerns may be
planning a combination, but that the
Mergenthaler has no desire or intention
of joining such a deal. A letter was re-
ceived In this city a day or two ago from
one of the prominent directors of the
Mergenthaler Company in which any such
deal was explicitly denied.
