HARRIMAN'S ILL HEALTH
KEEPS MARKET UNEASY
Sales Are Light, Despite Reas-
suring News

NEW YORK. Sept. 5.-When busi-
ness began on the stock market last
week evidence had been accommodating
over Sunday which served to dissi-
pate the anxieties which had been
keeping the market unsettled and ex-
cited.
A personal statement from Hartman
late Monday confirmed the more ra-
tional impression of his health. This
retirement of the subject from promi-
nent consideration by no means ended
it's influence as a factor on prices, as
there was a residue of uncovered short
sales Of stocks based on the expected
I'll effects of the declining strength of
the president OF the Union Pacific, and
the interruption to be caused to the
vast financial projects which he is sup
posed to be pursuing.
The approach of a holiday interval of
three days at the end of the week in
tensifed the disposition to close uD
speculative contracts and increased the
demand from the short interest. With
the clearing away Of the anxieties
caused by Harriman's illness the way
was opened for resumption of influence
by the very favorable factors in the
general situation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Scientists
soon will have placed at their disposal
the highest meteorological and astro-

continent. 1t is on the top of Mount
Whitney, California, $4,000 feet above

above the clouds and free from dust
and smoke, the Smithsonian Institution
decided to build a suitable laboratory

Several other counties thought as little

the result that the commission will be
lacking in members unless the in
