COTTON MARKETS.

rains in central Texas, and the market
was very nervous and unsettled. owing
to continued liquidation by old longs,

HALF MOON RIDES INTO PORT
ON DECK OF BIG STEAMER In
NEW YORK HARBoR.
Gift of Holland to New Amsterdam
will Be Unloaded at Brooklyn
Navy Yard.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The replica OF
Henry Hudson's Half Moon. the Vesse'
that brought the famous navigator mere
in 1909. arrived in the upper bay ias'
night on the deck of the Soestdyk OF the
Holland-American line.
The Soestdyk went to the BROOKLYN
navy yard early today, and the little
vessel will be taken Oft at the yard to
await the coming Of E. J. Bentham. the
naval constructor who had charge OF the
building of the vessel
The reproduction of the vessel that
sailed up the Hudson three centuries ago
is in a number Of parts, having been SO
built that it could be taken apart In Or
der to insure its safety on the Soestdyk.
Its hull is intact, however, and was
brought across the ocean on the after
deck of the Holland-Amerlca vessel. The
masts, yards and boom, together with a
lot Of minor parts. were placed In the
hold OF the modern boat.
1t was not quite dark when the Soest-
dyk was passed and allowed to go TO an
anchorage. There were eight or ten tugs
in the upper bay as the Soestdyk came
along-tugs that were themselves as big
as the Half Moon, but in which few cap
tains of today would care to attempt to
cross the Atlantic-and some of the cap
tains blew whistles of welcome. probably
one for the replica and the other two
whistles for the nerve of Henry Hudson.
Honest Bill Quigley, the Battery
boatman. saw the Half Moon as he rowed
by at dusk When he landed at the
Battery he was wondering. SO he said,
IL in the year 22GO there would be YES
sells big enough to allow the placing of
the Mauretania on the after deck.
The Half Moon was built by Holland
ers, who are to present 1t to the Hudson
Fulton celebration commission. She left
Rotterdam June 10, the very day the
replica Of Robert Fulton's boat. the Cler-
mont, was launched.
This morning at about O'Clock one Of
the two largest vessels in the world
passed the Half Moon on her way from
Quarantine to her long pier on the North
river. having made the voyage from
Queenstown to Sandy Hook In less than
five days.

The Trained Nurses Widening Field

FROM the Cleveland RAIN Dealer.
The trained nurse has an overwhelming
field Of useful endeavor. The latest dem
onstration OF her value to mankind is
cont ained in the report OF a chamber Of
commerce committee made public the
other day. A big Cleveland Industrial
concern now regularly employs a nurse
to look after the health and physical well
fare of its many employees. She is re-
tanned to visit the sick, give advice and
comfort to the aiing. to attend the in
jured and do all of these little acts OF
Womanly skill and kindness that make
the trained nurse a welcome visitor to
any home.
This is practical form OF welfare work
and an example which, whether original
or not, deserves to be widely copied 1t is
another indication of the fact that the
corporations, the big employers of help
are coming to more nearly complete
realization that they owe more to their
employees than the mere payment of
regular wage.

NEW YORK, July 23.--On a volume of
business smaller than yesterday which
was i'm turn less than the previous day,
the stock market was dull and irregular
throughout the greater portion of the SEES
sion. and with but few exceptions there
were no striking changes since yester-
days final quotations.
The market opened in sympathy with
q general rise for Americans in the Lon
don market, with much apparent strength,
nearly all prices being slightly advanced
upon initial sales, but following the first
outburst of strength. led by Amalsamated
Copper, which rose full point there was
"A natural reaction leading to the belief
that profit taking was still in evidence.
The strength of AmaIsamated Copper
was due largely to the reports that 1t
would soon be listed regularly upon the
New York Stock Exchange. where here
tofore transactions in its shares have
been only in the unlisted department
eventually to be abolished. Among other
securities which displayed strength in the
first hour were Reading. Baltimore and
Ohio. and both the common and preferred
shares of Rock Island.
Steel Transactions Light.
The transactions in L. s Steel common
were in reduced volume and the f1uctua-
tons so slight as to afford no definite
opinion of the trend of steel securities
pending the meeting of the directors of
the L. S. Steel corporation next week to
take action upon the question of raising
the dividend on the common from it's
present per cent basis TO which it was
reduced from 4 per cent in the late fnan-
cial depression.
There was pronounced and ineXplica-,
HE weakness in both the common and
preferred shares of the marlborough Met
ropolitan, which in the case of the pre-
ferred dropped at one time over two points,
while the common sold off Ia points. In
the absence of any better reasons the
street was inclined to attribute the de-
cline to the assumption that the bull ac-
count had become stale. American Can
preferred also declined easily on COM
paratively small transactions, the losses
being attributed to uncertainty concern
ing the crop situation.
News from Washington was no more
discouraging than it has appeared for
the last week or two, except that each
days prolongation of the wrangle over
the tariff creates a Discrimination on the
part of traders to take any very decisive
position either on one side of the market
or the other.
number OF commission houses have
been advising their customers to trade

information reaches Wall street concern

ton of Steel dividends.
Money continued easy, though. with a
constant tendency to harden as the time
approaches for sending funds back into
the interior for the purpose of harvesting
and marketing the bountiful crops which
now seem to be assured.

LONDON, July 23.-Investment issues
were frmer In the late afternoon deal
ings, owing to covering of scattered short
commitments. Buoyancy became more
pronounced in home rails in the late trad

tirmness. Kaff1rs were inactive, but
steady in tone. Copper shares ended
without reaction.
American railway shares were irregular

KICKS ON LIBRARY CONTRACT
WHY DIDN'T SUPERINTENDENT
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS.
That's What the Electrical Workers
Want to Know-Formal
Protests Filed Today.

When Representative TaWney was ask
ed today about a protest against the let
ting of a contract amounting to about
$4,000 for the electric lighting of the
book stacks in the Library of Congress.
without having advertised for bids. he
said there was nothing he could do about
the matter
Its up to Bernard r. Green, super
intendent of the library. to explain Mr..
Tawney added.
1t appears that John j. Purcell. bust
ness agent of the Electrical Workers
Union, having learned that Mr.. Green
had received four proposals for the work,
without having advertised for bids. filed a
protest Yesterday with Mr.. Green, Lii
brarian Putnam, Senator Wetmore, chair
man OF the Senate committee o. the
library, and Representative Tawney,
chairman OF the House appropriations
committee.
Agent Purcell Protests.
Mr.. Purcell contends that the matter is
irregular, as Mr.. Green failed to adver-
tise in the daily and trade papers. He
said the superintendent simply sent speci-
fications to the four firms that competed
and asked them for bids. He also con-
tends that but one electrical firm in the
District was asked to enter the competi
ton, the other companies and firms being
unaware that such contract was to be
let.
Proposals were received by Mr.. Green
from the Lord Electric Company of New
York, which agreed to do the work in
eishty-f days for the sum OF $15,965;
the Comstock Staley Electric Company of
New York, in forty days. for $1,000; Rice
& O'Donnell of New York. in 100 days
for S19,7sO. and the National Electric
Supply Company of Washington, in
eighty five days for $14.907. The last
named company being the lowest bidder,
i'm all probability will be awarded the
contract.
Not Worried About It.
supt Green does not seem to regard the
protest of Mr.. Purcell seriously, and de-
clares that under the law he has right
to let the contracts without advertising
for bids.
1t is said some of the electrical COM
