Most Of the passengers were aboard and
many friends were on the dock and in
the cabin bidding them farewell. when the
boat began listing to starboard. The
water began pouring in at the open port
holes. and there followed a panic among
the passengers to get up on the main
deck and over the side. Before the ship

THE 7 T MARKET.

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady at a decline of 114
points, and during the early season sold
off to a net loss of sac points ON the active
months as a result of liquidation or realiz-
ing by local longs. At the decline. how
ever. there was a renewal Of bull support
encouraged by the absence of rain of con-
sequence in Texas. and the better spot de-
mand abroad. with prices N the middle OF
the morning only 2 or 3 points net lower.
Trading was quiet and the tone OF the
market steady.
The market was quiet late in the fore
noon, but held steady on covering and a
little buying by Wall street. Prices were
o ent unchanged.
Spot, quiet; middling upland, 1880; mid

THE ASBESTOS SUPPLY.
Most of the Material Comes from the
Eastern Part of Canada.

Commercial asbestos includes two dis
tinct types Of 1brous minerals. TIL term
asbestos was originally applied to ac-
tinolite or tremolite, but the more inn
portant asbestiform mineral is the fbrous
variety Of serpentine known as chrysotile.
This variety is always associated with
serpentine. which is derived from the al
teration of eruptive rocks. It has been re-
ported as occurring in commercial quanti-
ties in Massachusetts, Vermont, North
Carolina, Wyoming, Arizona, Washington,
Oregon ard California.
The eastern townships of the province
OF Quebec furnish the great part-about 85
per cent.-of the worlds production of
asbestos. In 1906 Canada exported 50, S64
tons of asbestos, valued at 81. 629, 257, most
Of which came to the United States. I'M
proved methods Of mining are being intro
duced in Canada and the output there is
increasing.
Both forms of asbestos are applied to
many uses, depending in part upon the
1brous character of the material. but also
upon its non-conductivity of heat and
electricity. The best grade Of chrysotile
fiber is spun into thread, yarn and rope,
and woven into cloth. The yarn is large
ly used for packings and the cloth for
asbestos woven with other fibers are made
into various household articles in which
heat insulation rather than hre-proof chat
acter is required.
Asbestos is extensively used for plas-
terlng and for making lumber that is en-
ployed in buildings where insulation
against fire and electricity are desired.
Its use. in hre-proof structures, and ea-
p~eceially to envslop electrical conductors,
is constantly increasing.
The production of asbestos in the United
States in 1905 was 1.66 tons, valued at
$2S, 565, as against 3,109 tons, valued at
1855, in 1906. The imports N 1906 were
valued at $.0T6.170.
The output of all existing asbestos mines
is insufficient to supply the demand for
this product. and the leading manufac-
turing firms interested In the industry are
diligently searching for new deposits.

J. J. HILL LOSES
CONTROL OF n. P.
Wall Street Hears That
Stock Had to Be
Sacrificed.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. I3-The con-
troll which ]. J. Hill and Great Northern
stockholders held over the Northern Pa
cific railroad for some years has been
forfeited. according to the latest current
railroad gossip.
While il has been reported for several
weeks that the control of the road had
been lost, little credence was given 10
the gossip at first. The reports have
been so persistent and so convincing.
however, that they are now believed by
nearly all the railroad men in the city
It is reported that Mr.. Hill and his
friends first began to lose control when
the last great shrinkage Of market val
ue commenced, about year ago. Great
Northern was selling at over the 300
mark and Northern Pacific near It, In
a few weeks they sagged, however. and
now both stocks are quoted around 10.
II Is said Mr.. Hill borrowed much
money on his stocks and IL this way
kept his controlling interests. When the
market values sagged so heavily. how
ever, IL was necessary TO cover, and a
great amount of money was used in pay
ing collateral on loans.
Finally the strain upon his resources,
IL is said, came to the breaking point,
and a large amount of stock was sac
rificed.
