STOCKS, AND BONDS,

New York Oct 4.--The eccentricties of
the industrial stocks continued to be a
disturbing factor in the stock market
today. Yesterdays list of semi dcmoral-
lied stocks was increased today by a
number which were not tested yesterday
during the progress of liquidation. The
lower priced n-dividend paying railroad
stocks were also in marked disfavor and
suffered severe declines on selling out of
holdings. But the still more potent fac
tor toward reaction was the renewed
pressure to liquidate in Amalgamated
Copper, which carried the price down an
extreme ~ to 1914 which is the lowest
price on the present movement even al
lowing for the 11a per cent interest which
has come off. There was a. suggestive
break in the price of spot copper again
in London market, and which served to
indicate that the present fortunes of
Amalgamated Copper are more or less in
timately connected with the maintenance
OF the price of raw copper. An important
factor in the weakness both of that stock
and OF other industrials, however, was
the scrutinv by the banks of the colat-
eral in their loans and the disposition to
call loans in order to limit or throw out
Industrial stocks from the collateral. No
special discrimination was exercised
against Amalgamated Copper yesterda.
but some such discrimination was refiec-
ted in tOday's acute weakness of the
stock. The same was true of the consol-
dated tobacco four per cent bonds which
fell an extreme of points. Some of the
severest losers yesterday showed daily
ing tendency even before the general
market turned upward and in the late
recovery there were some gains of
point and more achieved. National Salt
recovered II points of yesterdays 14A
loss on three transactions. The late rally
seemed to be due entirely to covering
by shorts and was made in spite of the
promise of only moderately favorable
bank statement. The interior movement
OF currency during the week has again
been very heavy, so that the gain on ac-
count OF Government bond purchases and
australian gold has been almost Offset.
u is hoped that the liquidation in the
stock market will be reflected in a loan
contraction, as no special operations In
the money market are known which
would Offset this influence, unless it might
be renewed by borrowing from the local
banks of the loans to foreign lenders
which are being constantly liauidated
as reflected in the sustained strength Of
the foreign exchange market The stock
marFet closed quite active and strong at
the recovery
The railroad bond was more affected

PROFIT TAKING HERE IN THE LAST HOUR

New York, Oct. 4.-The general tone

account of the tone in raw cotton. In
brown sheetings and drills some bids at
previous prices turned down. More doing

COTTON.
New York, Oct 4.-The market for
cotton futures started firm at an adj
vance of 8 to II points in keeping with
strong English cables and very bullish
advices from the crop centers. Shorts
were the most active buyers all day
though room bulls supported the mar
ket consistently from the very open
ing. All the first hour the market
evinced strong disposition to score
new high figures and soon after mid
day jumped to S12 for January on a
squirt of covering and public buying.
The commission house contingent was
we'll supplied with orders all way. Sta
tistics from every quarter were bullish,
frosts were reported in northern Ala
bama, receipts were surprisingly light
at nearly every point in the belt, mills
reports and dry goods statements were
encouraging. An advance of s to 8
points in Liverpool was due this morn
ing, but the total rise reached 10 to 1872
points with the close firm. In the last
hour here profit taking set in and a
sharp reaction resulted, January set
Ting to s cents and subsequently
strengthening on fresh demand from
commission and bull factors. The close
was steady. The total amount of cot
ton brought into sight this week was
$1,000 bales.

The water pump of today is but an
improvement on a Grecian invention
which first came into use during the
reign of Ptolemies Philadelphos an
Energetes, 2S3 TO 221 b. Z. The name,
which is very similar in all languages,
is derived from the Greek word pempo,
to send or throw. The most ancient de
scription we have of water pump is
by Hero of AlexanA1ia. There is no
authentic account of the general use OF
the pump in Germany previous to the
beginning of the sixteenth century
AT about that time the endless cham
and bucket works for raising water
from mines began to be replaced by
pumps.
In the seventeenth century rotating
pumps. like the Pappenham engine
with two pistons, and the Prince Ru
pert, with one, were first used Pumps
with plunger pistons were invented b,
Morland, an Englishman, in 1914, and
the double acting pump by De la Hire,
the French academician.
