cotton report was unfavorable, and had
market effect upon the price of that
staple. While some Improvement is
possible in the condition of the plant
during the remainder of the season, it
is practically foregone conclusion
that the cotton crop will be short one
and that high prices must be expected
this season. This means good times
for sections where the injury was slight
and vice versa for sections where the
injury was gerat. 1t is questionable,
however, if there will be any eXtraor-
binary scarcity of cotton, for the rea
son that many of the European mills
are running upon short time and Eu-
rope is already possessed of larger
supply of raw cotton than year ago
AS for the grain crops their outlook
continues satisfactory July and Au-

rioration, and it is quite possible that

supply and a brisk demand for cotton
goods is reported in all of the western
markets. The only branch of this i'm
portant industry at present suffering
feels the effect of high prices. In the
wooden business there is much activi-
ty: the mills are we'll sold up and
prices are firm, largely owing to the
advance and activity in cool, which is
comparatively scarce. Only one i'm
pOrtant market has Jagged behind, and
that has been copper. The domestic
demand for this article is now I'M
proving in common with other metals
and better prices would have been re-
aIized no doubt were it not for the fact
that production is still increa sing fas-
ter than consumption and running at
record breaking figures. Mercantile
prospects are excellent and business
men generally are not only anticipat-
ing good fall trade. but are making
preparations accordingly.
Call money continues plentiful and
easy. while time money is gradually
hardening and still better rates are
anticipated during the next two or
three months. This is due to the re-
parations for financing the crops. The
west will undoubtedly need some as
sistance from this center for the lat
ter purpose. and the employment of
funds in that capacity WILL of course.
tend to firmer rates. The effect of
tirmer time money upon the stock
market is somewhat predetermined. If
stocils are to be pushed to still
higher point the natural result will be
to drive money out Of stocks into fie ds
where it can secure better returns al
though high rates for money and an
active bull stock market are not infre-
quently seen together. AS a result of
firmer money there have been some lib
eral offerings of finance and other bills
against American securities abroad.
There has also been somewhat bet
ter supply of commercial bills in anti
cipation of cotton and grain ship

change has of course, put an effectual

Now that the tariff is settled the senti-

though practically the tariff makes no
difference whatever 10 business in gen.
eral. No very important changes have
been made either downwards or up
wards. the net result of the new bill
being practically victory for the
stand patters. For some time past
our manufacturing interests recog-
from any downward revision, and have
consequently gone ahead with little re-
gard to the tariff situation For this
reason the new tariff will have little
influence upon general business other
than the sentim anta effept Of relief
from agitation. Such troubles as come
from the new measure will be chiefly
those relating to its administration
Stock market operations must still
be conducted with great precaution.
1t is not impossible that prices may be
forced to a still higher point. but it
should be recognized that values are
already unwarrantedly high and that
the big holders are quietly distributing
activity and weakness of the market
whenever good news is forthcoming
signing the tariff bill. for instance
are highly suggestive. The outlook is
certainly encouraging and prevailing
optimism cannot be ignored, yet all
the good features discernible have been
pretty well discounted. A distributive
market. such as the present one ap-
pears to be, holds many opportunities
for the nimble operator for quick in
and out trading. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo that the tactics of the past (such
as marking up sharply first one stock
and then anOther) will again be used
in an endeavor to aid. as well as dis
guise, the liquidation which will be at
tempted in other departments of the
list. Quick in and out operations on
the long side. however. should be en-
tered into with carefulnesS. as we are
still of the opinion that clam digging

is any great shortage of grain; in fact
the corn crop promises to be the larg-

tionally profitable. For this reason
there is an optimistic feeling through

qualities of wood gained in the con-
structiOn of racing boats stood him in
good stead and he Immediately pro-
ceeded to utilize it. He selected Cana
dian fir as being the most advanta-
geous for the purpose. To save weight
Herr Rettig employs hollow rods,
formed in the manner of lead pencils,
leaving the wood solid only in places
where there is extra strain. The light
ness of the frame thus gained enables
Herr Rettig to build his airship with a
capacity of from 5000 to 1000 cubic
meters, whereas the Zeppelin type
must have a capacity of at least 10000
cubic meters.

Form Much Improved.

Herr Rettig has also improved the
shape of the airship. The form OF the
Zeppelins and their relatively small
diameter does not permit the car to
be placed Immediately under the CEN
ter. but compells the use of two cars
at equal weight at either end. The new
airship is given an elliptical form, with
the greatest diameter just in front of
the axis. This form, it is claimed is
superior to the cylindrical shape in
that it reduces the dead weight and
increases the resisting power against
pressure and shock. 1t also reduces
the distance to the force of the wind
to minimum. Another advantage
that the wood frame possesses is that
it is elastic. and thus much more I'M
likely to be injured by collision, or by
a fall than one made of metal. Finally.
the Rettig wooden frame neither gen.
crates nor conducts electricity so that
there is nothing to prevent wireless
telegraphy apparatus being fitted in
the car. Herr Rettig points out. fur
Their, that a metal frame is apt to rust
whereas wood, properly vanished is
practically impervious to meteoroloSi-
cal influences. He calculates that the
lifting power of his new style airship is
about 80 per cent greater than that of.
a Zeppelin and this assures him a

enable him to take a larger number of

Steering Device SimpIified.


The fact that the single car is hung
from the center of the airship greatly
inc reases, according to Herr Rettig,
its steering and maneuvering capabil-
tiles. The ''meshes" of the Zeppelin
frame measures 20x10 feet; those of the
RettiG frame can be reduced to 10X10
feet. This, of course. enables the COW
ering of the Rettig airship to withstand
a far greater pressure from within
than in the case of the Zeppelin cover
ing. and thus permits the Rettig air.
ship to remain longer in the air with
out landing. 1t is claimed that such
can easily travel from one
continent to another, and can maneu-
yer for days over the enemys country
without needing to land.
