needless tragedy at WestGeid that il
revealed at least two notable instance,
Of heroism that makes one feel proud
Of his kind. One of these was the
dying and unknown hero who said to
the rescuers:
Don't mind me- I'm done for See
what you can do for some of the 9th

The other-and fortunately the world
now knows her name-is Mrs. Hark-
sen, who lives at the scene of the
wreck, who saw the frightful crash
and at once notified the Fire Depart

Before the last meeting Of the Dcia-

William Bailey spoke on the methods
to be employed to attract native wild
birds around country homes Mr.,
Bailey thought that people were TOO
willing to accept the dictum that Eng
ush sparrOws, with their noisy and
QuarTelsome ways, were in entire pos
session, and it was useless to attempt
to attract native wild birds. He point
ed out that such birds as blue jays aHdI
wrens might be persuaded to take up
their abode about the house, if proper
quarters were provided for them. In
the first place, openings to bird boxes
intended for wrens must be made
small enough to keep The sparrows out.
Secondly, it was necessary to bear in
mind that the birds desired were wild
birds, and wild birds are not attractel8

repelling the wild birds was the habit
of keeping country grounds in such

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 20.-Today's stock mar
ket made some Roadway against early
depression which seemed to be reflected
from London, but the Disappointing bank
statement carried prices TO below last
nights level all around. The trading
throughout was languid and the move
ment of prices very sluggish Very few
transactions were of an origin outside
the board room. Some support seemed
to be accorded to the United States Steel
stocks and the Coalers. The continuance
of this years schedule of prices Tor steel
products and the announcement OF the
placing of large orders for steel rails
helped the steel stocks and was an en-
couraging factor for the whole market.
There were some special points of weak
ness. notably Smelling. It's decline of 2 5-8
was due to appointment over the failure
of dividend action at the recent directors

Especial to News and Observer
New York, June 2O.--A reaction such as
took place shortly before the close last
night and at the opening this morning
was due. That the market should rally
sharply at some point was inevitable.
There is general feeling in the best in
formed circles that as the market was a
purchase below 9s4, it is quite likely to
be safe sale around 10c for turn. This
of course is based upon the belief that
present favorable weather conditions will
be maintained. While the weather map
today was all that could be desired, pri-
vaet wire houses with western connections
reported some trouble. Telegraphic com
munication between New York and Chi
cago was interrupted to great extent.
There seems TO be storm west which
may disturb conditions in the South, but
in the event of another sharp upturh on
Monday we would rather sell than buy.
The. outcome of July and August is still
uncertain, since the New Orleans people
appear to hayeIa very firm hold on both
the New York and New Orleans markets.

New York, June 2O-Predictions of
cooler weather In some parts of the cot
ton belt caused considerable short cover
ing yesterday afternoon here and led to
sharp advance in Liverpool this morning
to which there was but poor response
because the local trade is bearish and is
fighting the market, but the short inter
est is growing rapidly and if anything
should happen to this crop there is suff-
cient speculative short interest to carry
the late months up 100 points very
quickly. On the other hand with a week
of favorable weather the short interest
would grow considerable and the market
might decline a triHe but perfect weather
is absolutely necessary to prevent advanc-
ing prices.
Spot cotton in New Orleans is above
10 cents with the greatest scarcity ever
known and with this in mind conserva
tive traders are pointing out that De-
cember cotton under 10 cents is a most
attractive investment and is not attended
by the usual speculative risk. Mills are
shutting down not because they want to,
but because they can't get the raw cotton
to spin now, nor will they be able to Sc
cure supplies in any satisfactory volume
