STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 20.-The stock market
was somewhat broader and more active
today, but there was still no evidence of
any large participation in the market by
the general public or by great financial
interests on large scale. The question
able position of the United States Steel
stocks and the doubtful outlook for the
labor situation are still a drag ON the
general market, though the market for
the United States Steel stocks them
selves and their price movement are
narrow. The market guardians of the
stocks show themselves amply able to
take charge of all the stock offered, show
ing that the company shares have come
to be closely held. But the supporters of
the stocks are inclined to take profits on
holdings thus acquired upon any ad-
yances in price, and they bid up the
prices when anything like an outside de-
mand develops for the stocks. Under
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1901-08-21

these artificial conditions the movement
of the stocks has little significance. Tne
general list showed a disposition today
to ignore the Steel stocks. The railroads
concerned in the Northern Pacific settle
ment and others allied by identical owner
ship, or otherwise, resumed the leader
ship of the market today. This may
have been based upon a published report
of a prolonged conference yesterday at
Bar Harbor, between the three financiers
who conducted the Northern Pacific con-
test and it's settlement. The Morgan and
Hartman roads were generally affected
in sympathy, including Illinois Central,
Chicago and Alton, Southern Railway and
Chicago, indianapolis and Louisville. The
anthracite carriers manifested some
strength and the bituminus coal carriers
made gains, although Norfolk and Yves
tern and Chesapeake and Ohio suffered
from profit-taking.
A sharp decrease in earnings of Nor
folk and Western for the second week in
August seemed to emphasize this dlspo-
sition. Some large individual blocks OF
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and st.
Paul were taken in the last hour and
those stocks rose Ia to rs over last
night. The stock market continued TO
show sensitiveness to Developments in the
money and exchange market. A sharp
recovery in sterling this morning led to
some reaction from the opening strength
in stocks. Offerings of wheat bills were
reported smaller in connection with re-
ports of a smaller seaboard wheat clear
ances which caused reaction in the
wheat market. But this influence was
largely offset by the large receipts on ac-
count of Australian gold deposited at
San Francisco. The Sub TreaSurys debit
balance at the clearings house of $1,S52,-
500 was caused by receipt OF checks
against gold on the Pacific coast to the
amount of 81, 900. A further ship
ment of $4,000, 900 is on its way to San
Francisco from Sydney. This makes it
evident that the London market will find
a way to meet it's gold obligations to New
York without stress and possibly without
actual shipments of gold. 1t is to be
noted however, that United States
Treasury operations continued to drain
the money market, the Governments sur
plus thus far this month having reached
81 554 OIL, while for the corresponding
period of last year the Governments
fiscal operations showed deficit of
S4 3S1 562 The market closed rather
heavy under the influence of profit taking
on the DAYS rise.
Railroad bonds continued very dull and
with no movement of significance. Total
sales (par value) 81 $4,000.
The total sales of stocks today were
AL 800 shares, including the following:
Atchison, 37100; Chesapeake and Ohio,
$500; Chicago and Alton, $500; Chicago,

New York, Aug 20.-Home demand for
brown cottons again quiet and market
somewhat irregular. The export demand
this week has been uuieter. but export
goods are steady. Bleached cottons in
quiet request at firm prices Denims,
ticks and other coarse colored cottons dull
and in favor of buyers. Print cloths in
active Prices unchanged. Prints in
fair request but no other price changes.
Ginghams steady. Hosiery and under

COTTON.
New York, Aug. 20.-The market for
cotton futures opened quiet with prices
one point lower. There were few orders
from the outside in evidence and senti-
ment in the pit was mixed to an unusual
degree. Firm Liverpool cables and bad
Texas crop news at first created no i'm
PRESTON nor did reports that trade con-
ditions in dry goods centres were rapidly
improving cut much figure as an influence.
Yet before the first hour elapsed a strong
undertone was developed and prices ad-
vanced some five to six points on a
scare of shorts, buying for New Orleans
account and supporting orders from
abroad. The better feeling grew out of
reports that spot markets in the South
were hardening rapidly on urgent eX-
port and domestic mill demand, and that
the crop in the Eastern belt was being
damaged by continued hard rains Aside
from slight reactions under furries OF
profit taking sales the market held firm
all the late forenoon and near midday
picked up additional strength on nervous
buying to cover shorts. Soon after mid
day the weekly Government report made
it's appearance and indicated determine
tion in the crop condition in almost every
section of the belt. Drought was said
to be causing rapid failure of the plant
over most of Texas and other portions of
the Southwest, drought in the Northern
and too much rain in the Southern por-
ton of the Central belt were complained
of and hard rains and high winds had
done damage in the greater part of the
Eastern belt. This led to increased buy
ing for both accounts in the early after
noon, on which October Stiffened to 7.45
and January to 7.55. For the rest of the
day the market was more or less irregu-
lar, though the advance was we'll held.
Flurries of profit-takin and waves of
covering caused frequent slight varia-
lions in values. Firmness in the New
Orleans market and sharp advances in
leading Southern spot markets helped to
check selling for a reaction. Commission
houses were noticed as fairly generous
buyers of the fall ard later months. On
the moment of the close realizing caused
a decline of from two to four points. The
market was finally easy with prices net
seven ito eight points higher

Peculiar Photographz.

Prof. Hale, director of the Yerkes
observatory, has recently described the
methods employed in stellar photog-
raphy with the instrument at that OBJ
servatory, the greatest elescope of the
world. 1t may be considered as a
camera with focal length of sixty
four feet. Its field of view embraces
a circle of the sky about five minutes
of arc in diameter. In photographing
clusters this great focal length makes
it possible to separate stars which
would be run together In one mass In
a camera of shorter focus. The tele-
scope is not corrected for photography,
but by placing yellow collodion film
In front OF the Photographic plate all
the blue rays are shut off. The yell
low rays come to an accurate focus,
and by employing isochromatic plates
good negatives on a large scale are
secured. The telescope is now devot-
I'd to photographs Of clusters.
