MARKETS FOR FUTURES
LIVERPOOL BROKE BADLY DURING
 THE HOLIDAY.
New York Bulls Compelled to Face a Very Favorable Lot of Weather Maps in
 Addition to Lower Cables.

NEW YORK, May 31.-The cotton mar ket opened weak at a decline of 13615 points folliwing much lower cables than ex- pected. Liverpool having broken badly over practically al standstill. The bulls had also to confront a very favorable lot of weather maps showing rain in the dry sec tions. while temperatures remained gener- ally favorable. In view of these various developments and the fact that the suspen- sion of a local house was announced before the call. the opening changes were not bad. Soon afterward prices rallied few points on covering. There was sign of bull support, however, and with New Orleans showing considerable weakness the market soon began to decline The weekly report of the weather bureau at midday proved more bearish than had been expected and following It's publication there was very heavy liquidation led apparently by large local wire houses with New Orleans nections. This selling carried July down to 12 40, the lowest point 1t has occupied since the continuation of the first bull cam paign last January and a net loss of 40 points October sold down to 10 53. net loss of 32 points and the general list was 23 to 50 points net lower. In the late trad ing room covering rallied prices somewhat with the help of a light demand from spot people and Liverpool and the market was finally steady at net decline of 26437 points. Sales were estimated at 400, ,0e0 bales The concern suspending was said to have very few open trades in the market and consequently the failure was not thought likely to involve any other firm to any material extent. Receipts for the day were full as Compared with last years and exports over the holidays have been moderate. Receipts at the ports today were 6,ISb bales. against 4,017 last week and B. 47s last year. For the week. 25. 900 bales, against 26.253 last week and 25.295 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 1.17o. against 1,114 last year. and at Hous- ton. 443, against ASA last year.

60 Years Ago and Now.
1t required nearly one year to build
the puny, little "Ironsides." The out
put last year from this great Phila-
delphia industry was 1922 complete
locomotives, of various types. In all
there have been more than $4,000 loco
motives built here since 1881. These
engines are to be found all over the
world. In fact it is said that wher-
ever there is a railroad there will be
found Philadelphia-built locomotive.
The first foreign order came in 1910,
through August Belmont, of New York,
and was for an engine for the Aus
trian government. Five years later
the Royal Railroad Company of Wur-
temberg ordered five engines. Russia
was an early and frequent purchaser,
several hundreds of engines being now
used upon the railroads of that ma
ton. On Dec. Is, 1877. there was an
order received from the Russian gov
eminent for forty locomotives of the
"Mogul" type, to be delivered in Rus
STA in May, 1878. The first of the forty
engines was completed and tried under
steam on Jan. 5, and the last of the
engines was completed on Feb. 10.
Another big order came from Russia
in 1S95-96, when 1873 engines were built
for the Car.

fair weather. to the leViathan of to-
day, which seems imbued with a liv-
ing spirit of power and distance ami
hilation, is a story of wonderful prog
ress. accomplished in a little more than
seven decades. To be exact, it was on
April %, 1881. that the first American
built locomotive was put in use, and
the notable event occurred in Peale's
Museum, in Philadelphia. Matthias w.
Baldwin was the builder of this first
locomotive, which, it is true, was moth
ing more than a toy, but it marked the
beginning of an era in transportation
which to-day has reached it's apoth-
costs of luxurious comfort for the trav-
eler, and made possible the command
ing position of the United States in
commerce and trade.
The First Baldwin Locomotive.
At the period referred to a few To-
comotives had been imported from
England, and to crafty the public Gu
riosty in the new-fangled affairs Mr..
Peale induced Mr.. Baldwin to build
him a miniature locomotive for eXhi-
bition in the museum. Mr.. Baldwin
had previously constructed novel sta
tionary engine for use in his shop,
where he manufactured bookbinders'
tools and cylinders for calico printing
His only aids towards the construction
of the locomotive for Mr.. Peale were
some imperfect published descriptions
and sketches of the locomotives which
had taken part in the Rainhill compe-
tition in England. The little museum
locomotive was put in motion on cir
cular track made of pine boards and
covered with hoop iron. Two small
cars containing seats for four passen-
gers were attached to it. and the nov
city attracted thousands of admirinG
spectators.
ssOId IrOnsides."
The officers of the Philadelphia, Ger
mantown and Norristown Railroad
Company, whose road had then a to-
tai length of six miles, the motive pow
err being horses, became so impressed
with the possibilities of the locomotive
as demonstrated by the museum toy
that they ordered a locomotive from
Mr.. Baldwin to be used on their road.
Laboring under difficulties, which be-

type, and from it the eight wheeled
standard American engine of to-day
takes its origin.
The locomotive builders of that pc
riod struggled to make. their engines
Of greater power, but while they fig-
ured that by the wearing of additional
pairs Of drivers they would get greater
adhesive traction, with it's resultant
ratio of power, yet an insuperable diff
ficulty, to them, was in the fact that
beyond four drivers. in the rigid frame
then used. the engines could not be
sent around the short curves which
dominated the American railroads. 1t
remained for Mr.. Baldwin to solve this
problem, which he did with his flexible
truck, which he patented in 1912,
wherein he applied the principle which
to-day governs this essential part Of
the locomotive.
Ups and Downs of Locomotive Build

There were ups and downs in the
business of locomotive building as
year succeeded year, but the general
trend was upwards and from the hum

%, 1882, the locomotive, "Old Ironsides,"
which ia now world-famed, was put in
operation. The trial was a success, as
is testified to by the newspapers of
that day. which gave enthusiastic no
tices of what proved to be an epoch
making event. Subsequently the en-
CINE, with it's usual small train, at
tanned a speed of thirty miles an hour
and people flocked to see, and ride be-
hind, the strange monster. Cotempo-
rary advertisements in the daily press
announced that horses would draw the
cars when the weather was not fair.
This was owing to the lightness of the
engine, which could not obtain the
proper adhesion when the rails were
wet, the wheels slipping and the power
being fruitlessly expended.
