Preparations For Heavy Fall Sales.
Chicago Corn Market n Puzzle.
NEW YORK, July 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Settlement Of numerous labor contro-
versics and prospect of early agree
mcnts as to other struggles have great
ly improved the industrial outlook,
while agricultural conditions steadily
improve.
Preparations for unusually heavy
fall sales are being made. and conf
dencc grows stronger. Mills ana fur
naces that have been idle on account
of the usual Overhauling resumed as
rapidly as needed repairs could be
made. Financial conditions are sound,
the mldyear dividend distributions pro-
ducing no stringerry, and speculation
has been heavy for the season both in
securities and staples.
Zig iron continues to command full
prices, supplies falling below require
mcnts and furnace deliveries failing to
fill contracts. Scarcity of fuel is still
the principal drawback.
Manufacturers of cotton goods hold
prices steady, and there has been a
distinct increase in demand during the
past week, although buying is only for
imperative requirements.
VagArics of the Chicago corn market
defy eluridation. After rising to 80
cents last week the July option ab-
ruptly dropped Is cents, and it was
announced that the heavy short inter.
est had compromised with the oper-
ators who had apparently secured a
corner. Rumors of enormous profits
were circulated, but lacked cOnhrma.
tion.
Gold holdings by the government
vaults continued attaining new records
each day. finally reaching $5G5, 119.
There was no pressure in the foreign
exchange market, rates holding steady.
Failures for the week numbered 213
in the United States against 1913 last
year and 90 in Canada against 80 last
year

HAR MAN HAS
ANOTHER BILL.

Robert G. IIarman has another
large bill against the city for legal
services. Members OF Council them
selves excepting the finance commit
tee, know nothing Of the bill
There was no reason why 1t should
be kept quiet except that City Solic.
itor d. j. Reinhardt had not been
asked to examine the charges, and
the finance committee decided TO wait
until he had seen it before putting
the other members to the trouble OF
considering the matter
The bill is for 81, $50 and these
figures have somewhat startled two
members Of the finance committee.
The bill was presented by ia mes

bill and it was held up. Mr.. Kane
did not urge its passage ana slld lie
would see the city solicitor in refer
ence to the matter.
1t has.been but short tina SING,
Mr.. Narman received ole-haif til,
amount collected from The trolley
companies for taxes~ol their road
beds. which amount is said to have
reached $1,000 Some OF the men,
bers of Council said that the amount
was but $1,000, but it was thou ght
that ended the large bills which
would be presented. This last bill Is
for services in securing the tax on
telegraph and telephone lines, for
winning the suit in whicl the receipt
for wharf rents ard markets were
taken from the Street and Sewer
Department and placing it in the
hands of City Council, and lor scv.

western Texas, that it had never been
transferred. that it stood in the name
of the bankrupt and if Col. Moody act
ed quickly he could obtain possession.
On the next train that left Calves.
ton after the receipt of this letter was
an agent of Col Moody. He went to
the far western portion of the great
state and searched the records of Pre-
sidio, Pecos, jeff Davis and other
counties. When he returned it was
with proof that 1872 900 acres of land
in that rugged, picturesque country
were in the name of the bankrupt. AS
quickly as the machinery of the law
could be made to move the banker
seized the land.
Then there were suits and legal ar
guments, but in the end Col. Moody
got title for all that vast tract. Hard
ly had the courts settled the case,
finally and for all time, when the news
was sent broadcast that large deposits
of quicksilver had been discovered at
various places in the territory where
Col. Moody's lands we've situated.
Again Col. Moody sent an agent to
West Texas, this time to Investigate
the reports and to protect the owners
interests. The agent confirmed the
reports of the discoveries and gave it
as his opinion that the colonel's lands
were not alone rich in quicksilver,
but abounded in minerals.
That there is a great deal of gold
and silver in that section of Texas is
certain. Whether it is of a grade that
would warrant development is not so
sure. Ofthe wealth of the quicksilver
deposits there appears to be no doubt,
the best information being that it is
the largest discovery of the kind in the
world.
Col. Moody is content to await the
development of time. He is not ex-
perienced in any branch of mining,
and is not DESTROYS Of learning. He
is just sitting still with his "bad" debt
and letting his neigbbors proceed.
Later on he may sell slice of his prin-
cipality or decide to work some of the
deposits.
Meanwhile there is bankrupt mer-
chant in East Texas who thinks the
Fates have dealt unkindly with him.

Elsctric Light and Blindness.

The big iron safe in a shoe factory
refused to open, and the bookkeeper
and engineer conceived the idea that
they could burn out the combination
by use of carbon and electricity. 1t
took several hours to accomplish their
purpose, but they finally succeeded,
but not until they had stood for sew
eral hours in the glare of the electric
light, taking turns at holding the wire
and carbon. When the work was over
both complained of a dizziness and
pain in the head, which increased as
the hours passed, and both went sud
denly blind at about the same time.
All efforts to restore their sight have
been unavailing, for, while the eye
balls appear all right, the sight is de-
stroyed.
