The war game is over. At $3.50
o'clock on the morning of Aug. 8, the
enemy was captured trying to take
Winter Harbor. He was sighted by
the Olympia.
Bugle notes sounded on the Olym-
pia, men rushed to quarters and the
operator in the wireless telegraph
room was signalling for the Kear-
sarge to announce the discovery of
the fleet to Rear Admiral Barker. The
flagship. twenty-five miles away of
Mount Desert Rock, caught the sound
waves and answered. In a few mo-
ments word came by the wireless that
the Kearsarge was on her way to aid
the Olympia.
Meanwhile that vessel had found
herself in predicament. The fog
which had been of advantage to the
enemy. proved handicap to the

the binding clouds of smoke from the
burning train. Frequent attempts
were made by volunteers, whom 1t
was necessary to rescue half suffo-
Gated and send to the hospitals.
AS the firemen brought out the
bodies agonizing cries went up from
women and children who recognized
their dead husbands and fathers. The
clothing of the victims indicated that
they were almost entirely second
class passengers. There were sew.
eral first class coaches on the trains,
and it is believed that three occu-
pants were also among the victims.
The body of one of the women was
handsomely dressed, while two among
the male victims were evidently per
sons of importance.
M. Vignes, one of the directors Of
the Metropolitan company, places the
responsibility for the disaster entirely
on Driver Georges Chauvin Of train
No. 43. He said:
"Chauvin is one of our oldest ana
most devoted employees. At the
Barbes station short circuit occurred
in his motor. Instead Of obeying
printed instructions and isolating the
damaged motor. he merely employed
the extinguishers, believing these
would suffice to stop the fire."

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 22.-The price level
of securities made some recovery to-
day in a hesitating and irregular man.
ner The opening rise met renewed
selling, especially in the United States
Steel stocks which caused a wavering
in the whole list. With a relaxation
of the urgent pressure upon these
stocks the market took on better
tone and started more steadily up
wards. There were occasional slight
reactions, but the trading fell away to
nominal proportions at the recessions,
until the last hour of the session. At
that time the market paused for a time
and then turned downwardS on q
growing volume of selling and closed
easy. The principal active stocks had
been lifted from 2 to points over
last night and the reaction left them
not more than half of the extreme
gains. The demand from the shorts
was an. important element in the buy
ing as a matter of course, after so
violent a decline as that which has
been occurring. No other inducement
to cover shorts was needed than the
failure to dislodge stocks with the re-
cent customary ease. The rise in the
dividend rate on Erie first preferred
from 3 to a 4 per cent. basis made it
self felt to some extent in the mar
ket. Many past hopes of dividend in
creases, raised by the large surplus
earnings reported by various railroad
companies, have been held in allegiance
since the period of putting surplus
earnings back into improvements and
sometimes in addition issuing bonds
for additional Improvement funds.
Some of the high prices of last year
in stocks were based upon probable
dividend increases which were conf
IDENTIFY Counted upon, and comparative
ly few of which were realized. The
Erie increase is the first incident to
revive any hope that some of these ex-
pectations may be realized later in
for ready funds amongst rail-
road corporations. There was a
notable falling off in the number of
inactive stocks to show wide declines
on the marketing of small blocks. Col
orado Fuel preferred was the only
notable example, 100 shares of that
stock selling % points lower than the
last preceding sale.
The active bond issues were firmer,
but weakness of some of the invest
ment issues made the market irregu-
lar. Total sales, par value, 81, It's, 900.

TURPENTINE-The market to-day
opened firm at 49Ac, with sales of 657,
and closed firm and unchanged with
out further sales. The steady rise in
the price seems to be due to the light
receipts of the last several days coup
led with the fact that the exporters
have freight room for which they wish
cargoes. All the afternoon receipts
were taken at quotation prices. The
demand is created chiefly by export
ers and therefore is a genuine one,
one not induced by speculation and
consequently likely to last as long as
the present light receipts continue. In
fact it is believed that there can hard

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, July 22.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of to
Z points under better English cables
than expected, particularly in respect
to spot cotton which was reported in
good demand at an advance of IA
points with sales of II, 900 bales, Amer
lean. These cables in connection with
rather high temperatures still report
ed in Texas, started shorts covering
and there was also some demand from
the brokers usually supposed to repre-
sent the clique, chiefly for September.
AS the session progressed the action of
July attracted attention in connection
with the approach of the last delivery
day in that month. Early in the morn
ing there was a sale of July at
12.SOc; in the afternoon it sold at 13.0Oc,
not single bale having passed hands
in the interval, and from 1900 it was
bid up to 1890, or 10 points over the
highest previous price for the season.
1t finally quoted 1920 bid, August sold
up to 12.4Sc and September to 1O.95c
with the general list at the best prices
of the session reaching a level net Is
to 60 points higher A feature in the
afternoon was the demand from Wall
street for September and October and
all through the session while there
was more or less bull support it look
ed TO be mostly a case of shorts COW
erlng. In the last few minutes there
was a little realizing that eased prices
on few points from the best but the
market was finally steady, net 10 to so

prices were up yesterday in both the

in New York it advanced so points.

there we're none. There is little cotton

can be secured in quantities being of
the New Orleans syndicate which is
selling a little to the mills, but manu-
faCturers find it impossible to manu-
facture at a profit under ruling prices
SO that many of the mills are being
closed.
a is expected that even with the
marketing of the new crop high prices
will be the rule. The new crop is es-
timated to amount to IL, 10000 bales,
less than the worlds consumption re-
Quires, and it Is freely predicted that
even at the beginning of the season
it will bring 10 to 101gc on the basis
Of good middling. Last season the
first Tale of the new crop was re-
ceived in Savannah July %, but it is
though now that the first bale of this
seasons crop will hardly be received
before Aug. l.
In the naval stores market condi-
items are most satisfactory. Spirits to-
day went up nc on the closing quo
tatons of yesterday and resins,
though they made no advance, except
on the lowest grades, remained firm.
The higher price of turpentine was
expected as the afternoon receipts of
the day before had all been taken at
this advance over the market price of
the day. With the present light re-
ceipts no decline of any consequence
is anticipated for the time being.
In New York the failure of the big
railroads to declare the dividend that
was anticipated because of the excel
lent showing in their earnings had a
tendency to depress the market. Dry
goods, too show depression though
the market is firm, and where goods
are bought for immediate delivery the
prices received are good ones. Details
of the different markets follow:
