FINANCIAL { COMMERCIAL


Strong bull interests in cotton we're
neavy sellers yesterday, the cotton pass
INTO the hands Of the shorts. The tech
nical position OF the market IS some
what weaker.
Bull reports on Steel Preferred, and
common TO be noted. Pennsylvania Is
reported advancing on the prospect of a
per cent dividend. Professionals con-
tinue to sell Union Pacific and New York
central on rallies. Certain private wires
suggest the purchase of Amalgamated
ana Smelters on reactions. Some insti-
tutions are bulling Wabash Preferred on
the big crops.
c. /. Hudson 4 Co.. said this morn
ing: Americans in London little
higher; steel. IS 1-2 we consider this
movement pure manipulation by leading
interests. In order TO steady prices while
they distribute more stocks IL is a good
opportunity 10 lquidate long holdings.
Wait for a substantial setback before
buying anything. The rise in Steel prices
cannot go on indefinitely. II is probable
that the time is near at hand when con-
sumers will hold off and wait for the
inevitable reaction. Then we believe.
there will be large selling of the Steel
shares. which have discounted all that
can happen for months to come"

some gain. The advances, however.
were not fully maintained. Steel com

to 1863 Ia. Union Pacific opened frac-
tlonally higher and then declined over
one point.
one to two point declines occurred
in the early part Of the first hour. Read
ing was influenced by renewed selling Of
Lehigh Valley in Philadelphia. and con-

denced.
Governments unchanged; other bonds
irregular.

Flood DGvastates Portion CT
Monterey, Mex.
PROPERTY DAMAGE IMMENSE
Estimates Of the Loss Vary FroI:?
Seven 10 Twelve Millions.

Laredo, Tex, Aug. 30.-Saturday
night in Monterey was one Of death,
desolation, darkness and sorrow
The food waters of the Santa Ca
tarina river continued on their rapid
course throughout the night and to
add to the horror Of the situation the
rain commenced to fall and caused
untold sufierings to the thousands of
homeless poems VINO had congregated
on the various plazas, their only
comes in the extreme emergency.
The destructive flood, due to the
continuous fall of rain for the past
ninety-siX hours, swept everything be-
fore it and hardly a vestige is left of
the village which few days ago
swarmed with families belonging to
the poorer classes. The loss of life,
which cannot be accurately estimated
for days, reaches into many hundreds.
The flood reached it's crest in the
early part of the hours between II
and 3 o'clock and many families were
swept away to a watery death with
hardly a chance to fight for their
lives. With the onrush of the water,
panic ensued and as the poor wretches
were swept from their homes, on the
tops of which many had sought shell
ter, never for moment anticipating
that the water would reach an unpre-
cedented height, pitiful appeals for
assistance could be heard rising above
the roar Of the onrushing waters by
those on higher ground, but who were
poWerless to render aid of any kind
About 400 bodies have been recov-
cred, but hundreds are still believed
to be lodged at various points along
the stream and it may be weeks be-
fore they are recovered and many
never will be found.
The latest estimates Of the financial
loss involved range from 100000 to
$12,000,000. It is practically certain
that the minimum figure mentioned
will be reached and it is possible that
the maximum is not exaggerated.

lam Mcclellan, the superintendent of
the Hartman diaries, drove to the

found, applied to the whole line The
telephones in Arden and Turner are
all on this line, which is private

The reason given was that outside

that it was difficult for subscribers to
get proper service.
