Professional Operations Con-

RAILWAY SHARES ADVANCE
Acquisition of Western Union Tele-
graph Company by American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
Causes Mild Decline I'm Former.
Copper Merger Proves n Myth.

New York. Nov. 16.-Purely professional
operations. on a scale rather smaller than
has lately been the case. appeared 20
dominate the stock market to-day. and
the market was, as whole, uninterest-
ing and without DEFINITE tendency.
The same influences making FOR
auietlng down OF speculations. that have
obviously been in control OF affairs for
the last two or three weeks. we're again
to-day the underlying forces Of the mar
ket. There was buying and selling Of
stocks for special reasons in industrial
instances that was based on broad views
OF the future OF values.
Western Union Declines.
The special cases to which reference
has been made chiefly comprised the
American Telephone and Telegraph and
Western Union stocks. and the direct in
spiration was the announcement that the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany had acquired the ownership OF a
substantial minority interest" in the
stock OF tho Western Union Telegraph
Company, which was interpreted and. no
doubt, correctly. by Wall street 10 mean
that the control Of the Western Union
had passed 10 the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company.
As the MaCkay Company Is heavily in
terested In the American Telegraph and
Telephone concern. the assumption is not
far fetched that to-days news refers in
reality 10 the fact that close alliance.
II not an absolute oneness. Of interest
has been made IN tho telephone and tele-
rrnH ~ f.rr-f - Ell.
considerable extent Of the operation Of
the Atlantic cables
Upon the news. the Western Union
Telegraph shares that had previously
been strong. declined moderately.
Other stocks In which activity was par
ticularly noticeable were the Missouri
Pacific. Pennsylvania. Erie. and Inter
gh-MetropOlitan. and Allis-Chalmers
stocks. and all OF these stocks advanced.
Pennsy Purchases Heavy.
The buying OF Pennsylvania was pre-
sUmabiy due To the circumstances that
its existing quotations. the stock is such
as TO merit purchases for investment
as an assured per cent dividend paying
issue. Enlarged profits were ascribed as
the reason for the buying Of Anis-ChaI-
mers stock.
Gossip could ascribe no specific occa-
sion for the rise to-day in the Erie
stocks. on the other hand. the American
Cotton OH, Missouri Kansas and Texas
and Reading and Union Pacific stocks
we're heavy, and the presumption was
that proat-taking sales were responsible
for the fact. There was no truth bear
ing upon the much-talked-of copper
merger, nor, indeed. was there any fnan-
cial development to-day outside Of the
telephone and telegraph matter

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Capital Traction warrants. as usual OF
late, were the feature OF the market yes
terday on the local exchange. They were
sold freely on call and in the general
trading afterward, the prevailing price
being 10 5-s and 10 10 II Is thought that
the bulk of the warrants OF the Capital
Traction stock have now passed from the
hands OF the original holders. and the
price for them is now regarded as IN
dicative OF tho opinion OF brokers gen.
orally upon the present and prospective
price OF the bonds which are represented
IN the warrants. That this view Of the
case is the proper one was shown in the
subsequent trading in the bonds, which
sold yesterday at ll3 "a. only a quarter
OF a point above the price at which the
warrants sold.
Greene-Cananea was the other feature
OF the market, the stock adding more
than a point to previous high sales. This
stock has been gradually creeping upward
Of late. and the high prices yesterday
were indicative of the confidence brokers
have In the value Of the stock.
other trading on the exchange was In
small volume and without significant
changes in prices.

THINK PRICES ARE TOO HIGH
Manufacturers President Says Cot
ton Mills May Close.

Charlotte, n. CA critical situation,
and one of rare occurrence, confronts
Southern cotton mills because of the
high price of raw cotton, and unless
there is a decided drop in the price of
the staple in less than two weeks, ac
cording to cx-President S. B. Tanner, of
the American Cotton Manufacturers AS
sociation, Southern mills will be forced
to shut down.
"It is a very easy question to answer" ,"
said Mr.. Tanner, las to what the mills,
both cloth and yarn, will do in the event
of 13-cent cotton continuing as at pres
ent.
at will mean that there will be no
money in textile products, and the mills,
after using up what small stocks of cot
ton they have on hand, will have to shut
down-that is, if cloth and yarn, espe-
cially the former, do not take a decided
jump upwards, a bigger jump than cotton
manufacturers would expect under the
circumstances"

AVIATOR WRIGHT PERFORMS
REMARKABLY FEAT.
Doubles Altitude Records-Crown
Prince Frederick William
Was Passenger.

Potsdam.-Orville Wright, the Ameri.
can aviator, broke his own and all other
records for high flying. He reached the
unprecedented height of more than 1000
feet, although an official measurement
was not taken. He had red letter day
in double sense in his experience as
an aviator, taking Crown Prince Freder-
ick William as a passenger and more
than doubling the altitude record which
he made recently over the same field.
The crown prince had been constantly
urging Wright, since he saw the Ameri.
can fly, to take him up as passenger
Wright evaded this responsibility while
making flights at the Templehof field,
owing to the unfavorable winds, but
since the beginning of the flights at
Bornstedt field, near Potsdam, the prince
had been telephoning The aviator every
morning asking him if he was ready to

HALLEY'S COMET THREATENS
Priest Astronomer Says It Will De-

Las Vegas, N. M.-That the world is
in grave danger of being destroyed this
winter by collision with Halley's com.
ct and that this catastrophe was what
Jesus Christ had in mind when he pre-.
dicted the destruction of the world by
fire, is the startling assertion of Rev
Father Charles M. Chardoppin, S. j., OF
st. Louis University, one of the greatest
living astronomers who is visiting here
on his way to Flagstaff, Arizona, where
he is to spend several months in making
astronomical observations.
For Is years Father Chardoppin has
made close study of the periodic visits
into The solar system of this great comet
Father Chardoppin believes that the COM
ct is of a sufficiently solid mass to shat-
ter both our planet and itself in the
event of collision.
