news made the grain carrying railroads
prominent The most conspicuous move
ments were in stocks associated with the
interests that make up the so-called
western contingent. Rock Island made
a sensational jump of 512 points. There
were more substantial and better main
tanned advances in some of the other
grain carriers, notably Missouri Pacific
The disclosure by recent railroad re-
ports that the soft coal carrying rail-
roads are profiting materially by reason
of the increased demand for soft coal
since the mining of anthracite has been
suspended gave another center of
strength, in which Pennsylvania and
Hooking Valley were the leaders, but the
adyarccs we're largely restricted TO the
leaders in both groups, and when it was
perceived that the general market failed
to respond in sympathy, the rise was dis
continued and gave place to reaction. The
closing was heavy and showed all of the
animation gore cut of the market. The
hugging of the gold export point by for
eign exchange and the interior demand
for currency which sprang up over the
holiday interval were repressive innu-
ences which We're reinforced by the poor

New York, July THE dry goods mar
ket today has been dull on the spot in all
departments, not yet having thrown Off
the holiday influence. The tone is I'M

in prices in either staple or fancy cot

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, July THE cotton market
opened barely steady with prices one to
six points higher in near months and
two to- four points lower on far months.
The initial advance was in response to
bullish Liverpool cables but the late
months were adversely influenced by re-
ports of more or less general rains in the
belt since the closing here of last Thurs
day. The private crop reports averaged
up bearishly and the weather forecast
indicated thunder showers where needed
In some portions of the belt. Liverpool
was quick to note the weakness here and
sold OIL three to three and half points
from the top in sympathy, while Euro
pean interests sold moderate amounts of
cotton held in New York The South
700 sold cotton in the local ring. Con-
servat1ve traders were inclined to quietly
close up struggling accounts pending re-
ccipts of tomorrows government review
Tor the week of climatic conditions in
the belt The market further sold off
after the opening, August dropping to S37
from SAT, the latter being the initial
sale. There was little change in prices
thereafter. The market closed dull with
prices net to points lower. Total sales
were estimated at $4,000 bales. Port re-
ceipts were exceptionally light while
there was some increase in the export
movement.

THE WAIAlUA
HAS BEEN RAISED
weisbach Bought Her and May
Seek the Fannie
Kerr.

Mate weisbach. one OF the officers of
the Inter-Island Steamship Co.. is said
to be the latest aspirant for the honor
of bringing the wrecked Fannie Kerr
back into port. and incidentally making
stake OF about $4,000 for himself.
weisbach Is mate on the waialeaie.
which Is now in port undergoing re-
pairs. but IL he sticks To his present
plan viii probably leave today on the
Kauai for the Kauai coast TO go from
there In search OF the coal ship hulk.
What vessel he will take the water
frontiers do not pretend TO know. II
was reported that he might take the
gasoline schooner Ada. but this was
denied at the Offices OF the Leahi Nav
igation Co. weisbach has purchased
the schooner waiaiua, which was
wrecked or the coast OF Kauai some
time ago. and has succeeded in float
ing her. II was said by some that he
would fit her up for the purpose of
making the hunt. but this plan is hard
~ feasible There is. however. con-
siderable uncertainty as to weisbach's
plans. and he may abandon them en-
tirely. II he does not go in search OF
the Kerr the Inflated waialua will be
brought back to Honolulu.
No action has been taken by Admiral
Merry as regards the sending OF a ves-
sci TO locate the wreck. and probably
nothing will be done unless all plans
now afioat for the Kerr search are
entirely given up. The Iroquois can
not carry enough coal to bring the
Kerr back. and the Albatross Is not
now in port. She Is due TO return from
Hilo today. and IL may then be decided
TO send her in search of the. Fannie
Kerr.
The Navy Department would not
make a profitable investment, even IL
the Albatross succeeded in finding the
hulk and towing her safely back into
port. The salvage would go to the
owners of the vessel or to the insur-
ance companies. The only charge made
by the United States Government
would be for actual expense in the con-
sumption OF coal. II is hardly prob
able that a vessel will be sent out by
Admiral Merry unless IL becomes neces-
sary to blow up the hulk OF the coal
ship as a menace to navigation. ~

the service. The fleet which carried
the coal from Seattle to San Francisco
and Southern Pacific railway have been
withdrawn. and the Pacific Coast
Steamship company and Southern Paci-
fic railway and all of the Santa Fee line
have been converted into oil burners
Steamer Mariposa and the freighting
steamer Enterprise. the former run
ming to Honolulu and Tahiti. and the
latter TO Honolulu from San Francisco,
have been converted into oil burners
and others are fast being converted.
The Union Iron Works has started to
use oil as fuel. and many other estab-

use oil as fuel. and before long oil will
supplant coal considerably at the Bay
City. which has hitherto been a large
consumer of British Columbia coal as

largely instead OF coal.
The big fleet OF California Hawaiian
liners recently built at Philadelphia
have been made to burn either oil or
coal. and other steamers will probably
be converted into oil carriers before
long. The oil. II seems. takes up less
space, and needs less firemen--one man
per watch TO handle the valves being

where the coal bunkers were. and led
by pipes to the boilers-the Scotch
marine boilers being reinforced at the
back by layers of firebricks for the ex-
ira heat-and there sprayed into the
