Blessed is he who has two good

there come times when Onr tried

many have broken with faith to

SCREWS PUT ON SHORTS
IN AUGUST COTTON OPTIONS

NEW YORK, Aug. ga manipula-
tive movement against some belated
shorts in the August option was sprung
on the cotton market today by some
OF the leading local operators. The mar
ket was first cleaned up at Liverpool by
buving orders from this side, and as
there has been a large scattered short
interest in that market for some time.
its nervousness precipitated rather
sharp and unexpected advance of eight
points on the old crop options. and five
TO six points on the new crop months.
This was two or three times more Of
a response than had been expected to
our net fluctuations of yesterday, and
the screws were Immediately applied
he-e on the August shorts, as soon as
the market opened. The rest of the
list advanced In sympathy. The tip that
September. as well as August. was to be
squeezed, was rather generally passed
around and there was quite a good de-
mand for that option as a. consequence,
with little selling pressure on ihe lat
er options. which were expected to move
up In sympathy.
The maximum advance in August was
twenty-six points. while September ad-
varced fourteen, and the rest OF the list
eleven to eight points from last night q
closing quotations This makes the net
advance for the week about twenty-five
points on September. and fifteen TO ten
points on the later options.
Spot cotton advanced twenty points to
0S5. for middling, in connection with
the manipulatiVe movement In August
and September contracts.
The days prices were as follows: Au-
gust. 1O.41q1042; September. 1C.23410q;
October. 979Q9 80; December. S75G976;

and II Is expected they will reach the
latter place about the middle Of the
coming week. II Is said the purpose Of
the survey Is to learn definitely just

The Wabash Railroad officers seem to
be confident that they will get control
OF the canal when the water way is put
up for sale by the State OF Maryland IN
December, and Gould, with his custom
airy enterprise, has decided to be ready
70 commence operations as soon as the
canal passes into his possession
II Is also said the engineers, when
they reach Georgetown, will survey a
site most suitable for a station. Dis
patches have been received from Cum
berland telling Of the dOings of the en-
Slneers there. but they will not talk for

\ new method Of treating consumption

clan. a brief description Of which is
given In report 20 the Department OF

Prof. Jacob. first physician Of the Hos

discovery. started with the presumption
that the remedies usually employed do
not reach the location Of the disease at
all. and he conceived the idea OF intro
ducing indictments directly into the
hangs.
Method Simple.
The manipulation is simple and can be
undertaken by every physician who Is
familiar with t..e use OF the throat

Prof Jacob las found that the most
efficient remedy is the well-knOwn tn
berculine' which Prof. Koch used thir-
teen years age; next in efficiency Is
creOsOte.
Great Success.

SEABOARD FINANCES.

John Shelton Williams, Of Richmond,
Va, chairman OF the board of directors
OF the Seaboard Air Line Railway Com
pany, and a member of the banking firm
OF John L. Williams & Sons, was in Bal
timore yesterday. and concerning the
Seaboard he said:
THE gross earnings of the Seaboard
Air Line system for the twelve months
ended June 80 1904 exceeded Sl33OO,Oo0.
The surplus earnings after the payment
of operating expenses. taxes, and fixed
charges. including interest on bonds. in
terest on car trusts and rentals, amount
ed to 100000
From this balance, however. Is to be
deducted other interest and commissions
paid during the year to syndlcates and
syndicate managers, which are not prop
erly chargeable under the head OF regu-
lar fixed charges.
The company has shown this surplus
over and above regular fixed charges
Notwithstanding the fact that II was
operated during the past twelve months
at a rlgher ratio Of expense than any
other railroad Of equal size in the United
States, as far as l have been able &c
