TOO MANY YARNS ARE PRODUCED
Yarn Mills Are Forced to Hold to High
Prices on Account of the High
Price of Cotton

NEW YORK, May Yarn mills are
forced TO hold prices high owing to
the sharp advances in cotton this
month, but buyers are not yet i'm
pressed with the need of covering
their wants with long contracts.
Users are willing to buy when old
prices are named, but they continue
to supply their current needs in
hand to-mouth way unless concessions
from spinners asking prices are OBJ
tanned The belief is growing in the
market that carded yarns are being
produced in excess of consumptive
demands at this time. This is shown
partly by the tenders of yarns from
users to be resold, and also by the
ability of buyers to supply their mod
crate needs from stocks in the hands
of dealers or commission houses. The
latter have been forced in some in
stances to pay higher prices in order
to secure yarns to fill contracts &C
cepted when prices were lower, but
this does not prevent them from offer
ing other yarns at figures mills will
not accept, and yet figures at which
users can fill their. requirements.

the Brahms 'RhOpsOdie' in G minor,
were played by Mr.. Campbell for the
great artist, whowas a most interest

Mr.. Campbell is gifted with an
amazingly mature technique, which
joined to a poetic imagination and
musical sincerity, insures him bril-

"THE GINGERBREAD MAN"

Musical comedy and comic opera
seem 10 be a little scarce this season
The reason perhaps is that they are
somewhat of a luxury from mana
gerial point Of view and managers do
not care to take too much risk in
making new and expensive produc-
tons in ticklish times. Probably the
average theatre goer has no idea what
amount of money is expenses in these
musical shows, or what fabulous sums
are eaten up in costumes, scenery and
mechanical effects, and at the best
they are never very long lived for the
reason that perhaps they lack the
power TO enthrall like some great do
nestle drama would, and while they
are a power for entertainment for the
time being, it wears off and people
shows not more than twice. This sort
of thing has a tendency to decrease
the receipts, and as the expenses do
not decrease in proportion, the life of
a musical play is naturally short, and
when the statement is made that any,
where from $4,000 to $125,OO0 has
been expended in various musical
shows in the past decade, one can
readily realize what the risk is and
hence the scarcity in the present I'M
profitable times.

SEEK CONTROL
OF u. STOCK
BIG FINANCIERS Believed
BEHIND DEMAND
WALL STREET AGoG OVER MANY
PERSISTENT .RUMoRs
Market Yesterday in Exceedingly Un-
settled Condition, but Brief ses-
sion AVerts Pronounced Turn
in Securities
rBy Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE tone of
unsettlement which developed in the
stock market today was the result of
more sober consideration of the extra
ordinary movement of yesterday.
The fierce demand for Union Pacific
stock Immediately upon the death of
MIR. Hartman has stirred up rumors to
account for it. The rumormongers
have set afioat suggestion of a con-
test for control of the property.
Buying of a kind which would imply
q hostile contest between great finan-
cial powers would threaten more dam
age than good to the fabric of values.
These suggestions, therefore, have a
disquieting effect rather than other
wise.
No great credence was given them.
More attention was given to the broad
intimation conveyed in the bankers
formal announcement yesterday that
leading interests in the property were
acting in unison.
1t was this and the supposition that
a new and powerful representation was
to be introduced to share in the con-
troll that was held to account for the
continued urgency of the demand from
the shorts.
The general disposition to attribute
the strength of the market since the
death of MIR. Hartman principally "
the demand from the shorts gave rise
to some distrust of the market posi-
tion.
The elimination or reduction of this
short interest, now in rapid progress,
would be expected to leave the market
with an important sustaining force
subtracted.
Special weakness of the copper stocks
is due to the large increase in surplus
of refined copper reported for August;
Fears of a weak bank return had
some repressive effect on the stock
market. The bank statement, in fact,
showed a cash depletion of nearly $13,
100000 in the actual showing, which
accounts for week of five days, The
stock market closed weak and at gen
eral declines for the day.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
vaIue S3.S42 900. United States bonds
were unchanged on call during the

the time will come before long when
a fleet of warships will be needed in
the Pacific ocean, where the future
political developments will necessitate
a great navy under the British flag to

British waters at home, though, owing
to the great German activity, and then

WANT UNIFORM
BILL OF LADING
BANKERS ASSOCIATION TO
SAFEGUARD CREDITS
WILL REFUSE TO ACCEPT PAPER
UNLESS EVILS REMEDlED
Canadian Railroads Adopt Recommen-
dations Made by American Inter-
state Commerce com-
mission

NEW YORK, Sept. ia large del
egation of eastern bankers and busi-
ness men will attend, Monday at Chi
cago. the national conference looking
to the establishment of a uniform bill
of lading.
This conference, which has been
called by the bill of lading commit
. tee of the American Bankers associa-
tion, will precede the annual conven-
tion of that association.
For the last three or four years
banking, commercial and shipping in
terests of the United States have en-
deavored to secure legislation which
would safeguard the bill of lading as
an instrument of credit, contending
that the failure of the carriers to as
sumo responsibility for the bills of
lading they issued had resulted in ex--
tensive frauds and the loss of several
million dollars annually by the banks
of the United States. They have con-
tended further that unless the alleged
evils were remedied the banks would
refuse to accept bills of lading as a
basis of credit.
Fear Drastic Measures
Several banks already had taken
that stand and the fear that similar
drastic measures might be adopted by
bankers generally resulted in con-
certed action being taken to secure
the adoption of uniform and satisfac-
tory laws that would settle the con-
troversy.
The entire question came UP before
the Interstate Commerce commission,
which recommended the reforms pro-
posed by the bankers be adopted, but
decided 1t had no legal power to en-
force this recommendation against the
carriers.
A bill covering bills of lading issued
on interstate shipments is now before
congress and four states have enacted
into law the measures proposed by the
American Bankers association.
The Canadian railroads have adopted
the recommendations of the American
Interstate Commerce commission, but
the American railroads have not yet
done so. However, they have made
efforts to meet the wishes of the ship
pers and bankers and it is hoped that
some definite understanding will be
reached at the Chicago conference.
