LARGEST BUSINESS
IN OVER TWO YEARS
Prices We're Forced up From One
to Three Points and Heavy Sales
We're. Recorded. But Profit
Taking at End Caused
FeverISh Close.

New York. Aug. 22.-Today's stock
market was the most exciting fer
months and the sales of stock in two
hours of trading reached 1900, ,0G0.
the largest Saturday business since
the Hartman boom OF two years ago.
Apparently an effort had been made
to take the bear party by surprise and
force them to put their large ou--
standing contracts on a rising mar
ket. At the end of the first hour
the maneuver seemed to be meeting
with success and many shares ad-
vanced from / to 3 points over the
opening.
At the height of this movement q
sudden selling pressure came, under
which declines of a point or more oc-
CURED within a few minutes. Specu-
lation then became lively again AMI
stocks sold higher during the second
hour than during the first. Just be-
fore the close heavy sales to take
profits wiped out the earlier gains
and the market closed feverish and
uncertain.

BRYAN. AND MANAGER
DISCUSS THINGS
At CHICAGO
Conference of Leaders to De-
teTmlne Ways and Means
For the Campaign.
BRYAN TO SPEAK
THROUGH THE WEST

Chicago, Aug. ga meeting Of
cratic party and all committees
will be held in Chicago September s,
at which final plans for the cam
paign will be adopted. This was de-
termined upon at a meeting of the
party leaders, including Bryan and
Chairman Mack today.
Bryan arrived in Chicago today to
pay a two days visit to political
friends and campaign managers. He
was greeted at the station by Chair
man Mack, Colonel Wetmore of the
finance committee of the campaign.
and a score of party leaders Thous-
ands OF Democrats cheered as the
party passed out of the station.
Arriving at the auditorium, Bryan
at once plunged into a serious con-
ference over plans for the fight to
be waged between now and Novem-
Der, and before Bryan leaves for In
dianapolis Monday noon to attend
the official notification of Kern, the
, whole scheme of the warfare is ex-
pected to be mapped out in detail.
one OF the important questions to be
taken up is the speaking part Bryan
is to play in the campaign. Some Of
hcials of the national committee are
opposed to any extensive tour, such
as was made In his previous cam
paigns. but it rests with Bryan. The
money question-how to raise money
for the campaign-will be another
subject discussed. The campaign In
the east also claims attention and II
was for the purpose of taking up
| this subject that Senator Culberson
OF Texas as head of the advisory
| committee. was summoned to the
conference by Mack.
Speaking OF the outlook and more
recent developments in the campaign
/ Bryan said:
THE situation is most satisfactory
| to me and reports from both east
and west are very pleasing. Excellent
| progress Is being made. The Demo-
Gratis OF Minnesota have nominated a
/ strong man in Governor johnson and
am glad to see he has accepted.
81 expect the heads of committee
| bureaus will talk with me today
about their plans, which will be an
nounced later.
THE committee does not plan 10
| have me make as many speeches this
| campaign as in other years. l shall
| however, make a number of speeches
| in the principal centers through the
middle west. but the dates have not
| been fixed"
It is expected Bryan will start or

Navigation.

Friedrichshafen. Aug 22.-Count
Zeppelin has announced that he in
tends to found an institution for in
vestigation of the solution of tho
problem of air navigation in the in
terests of the German industry, de-
fense and science. The contributions
made by the public, he says. are noW
far beyond the sum necessary to re-
place the destroyed airship and be-
yond the sum he intends to accept
towards the recuperation of his pri-
vate fortune which he spent in air
ship experiments.
All the surplus will be added to.
the endowment of the institute. The
bank of Stuttgart, which is receiving
subscriptions has 100000 deposited
to Zeppelin's credit and this is prob
ably $3.50, 600 less than the amount
subscribed, and which will be avail
able later.

said reserve is situated. to be expend-

SHIP WOOL TO
BOSTON BY WATER
Morgan Steamship Line Would Influ-
ence Future New Mexico
Shipments.

A. w. Reeves. general agent for
the Galveston, Harrisburg & san An
tonic Railway company, arrived this
morning from Roswell and has spent
the day with local wool shippers.
For a month past a large part or
the wool shipped from New Mexico
has been carried by rail to the gulf
and sent from there to Boston by
water. and It IL believed that an effort
is being made now on the part OF the
Morgan Steamship company, which is
allied with the Galveston, Harrisburg
& San Antonio. to influence all future
shipments that way. While II would
be more satisfactory to the G.. II. q
S. A. railroad to have the wool
shipped to FL Paso and routed from
there over that road. rates OF the
Santa Fe between New Mexico points
are prohibltve. Under present con-
ditions the wool is carried to the gut
over the Santa Fe via La Junta and
Newton, Kan. Even after this long
haul the gulf route is said to be more
economical to the shipper.
