WEIGHING THE BABY

The grocer's first question to
the man who had asked him to
weigh a flatiron, a pair of curling
tongs, French novel and a jar
of ground coffee at the same time
seemed irrelevant.
Boy or girl?" said he.
Girl" said the man.
Then the grocer dumped the
miscellaneous assortment into the
scales and said nine and three
fourths pounds.
Happens every little while
down here, where not many peo-
pie have scales of their own" he
explained. They want to weigh
the baby the minute it arrives, sc
they balance it with odds and
ends that exactly tip the beam
then the next day they weigh the
things and find out baby's heft.'

The fierce heat which prevails in
subway trains is to be minimized
if possible, by the installation OF
electric fans. Experiments are
now being made, and it is expect
ed all the cars will be equipped
next summer. The fans are of the
horizontal type, hanging from the
ceilings of the cars.
In connection with the adoption
of the fans, Frank Hedley, gen.
eral manager of the Peterborough,
tells why it is that the subway
cars are so hot. He alleges that
the temperature is not owing to
faulty ventilation of the tunnels
but to the heat generated by the
trains.

Cubs and Athletics will not only
be a battle of Drawn and brains

COTTON DECLINES
 ON BUREAU REPORT
Slight Deterioration Is Shown
 in Condition
BULL LEADERS ACTIVE
sharp Drop Follows Publication of the Report But Bear Aggressiveness
 Is Overcome By General Buying

New York, September 2.-The feature in the cotton market today was the govern- ment report, making the condition of the crop 72.1 per cent, compared with 755 per cent last month, 63.7 per cent last year and 10-year average of 73.1 per cent.
 The figures proved almost exactly as foreshadowed by private condition reports during the past few days. and while they were followed by a decline, part of the loss was later recovered with the market closing steady, to 12 points net lower.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of 3 points, which was about in line with the cables. There was nothing fresh in the way of weather news to cause any change In sentiment. and with continued talk of larger spot of ferings from the south prices gradually eased off under scattering liquidation and local bear pressure. Before the govern ment report was issued September had sold at net loss of IS points. and later positions were about to z points lower.
 Immediately following the publication of the figures local offerings became aggres- sive, and the active months eased off to
 
 decline attracted more support from the bull leaders, and later the market rallied from the lowest on covering of shorts for over Labor Day.
 September remained relatively easy, closing at net loss of 12 points, while other positions were only to points net lower The market will remain closed from tonight until Tuesday morning, and New Orleans will also remain closed over Labor Day, but Liverpool will be open as usual, and business today was no doubt restricted to some extent by the usual hol- iday considerations
 The governments condition figures were made the basis for various deductions as to the probable size of the crop, some figuring that they pointed to yield of about Il 100000 bales, while one statisti- elan claimed that compared with average results for the past 12 years the condi- ton figures indicated a crop of at least 13. coo, ,OOO bales. Southern spot markets were generally unchanged to Bc lower.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today, Il 494 bales, against Il, ,904 last week and 1850 bales last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, S9 bales, against 275 last year, and at Houston, 9735 against 79oo last year.

HIGHER PRICES FOR
 WHEAT ARE SCORED
Holders Are Encouraged By
 Strength of September
MILLING SALES SMALL
Corn Advances Early But Prices Fall Back Again on Crop RepOrts-Oats Close Lower and Provfs-
 ions Are Irregular

Chicago, September 2.-Higher prices for wheat were maintained today from start to finish, but only nearly so and traders were generally nervous. A small lot, 16,000 bushels, was sold from Chicago to Ham, burg al a specially low ocean rate. An other source of encouragement to hold CTS was the fact that September delv- cry was relatively higher than other months, both here and elsewhere Clos ing figures were at a net gain of 1s0Ac to 1Aqssc. The finish left corn within shade of last nights quotations, oats, 1-16c to asc off and provisions varying. from 20c decline to 121kc< advance.
 An active buying movement on the part of commission houses threatened at first to assume formidable proportions In the wheat pit, but fattened out un- der rather determined selling from ware houses. Brisk demand in France for car goes from the Antipodes, Russian crop damage estimated at 3o@40 per cent and denials that the drouth in Argentina had been broken all helped to uphold the mar ket Pointing the other way, though, was the fact that milling sales were small, primary arrivals large and world s shipments promising to be nearly 20o0,- 600 bushels heavier than a year ago. As the day wore on a big shortage was re- ported at Minneapolis and there was said to have been material frost damage to wheat in the Canadian northwest. In consequence the final tone was fairly steady.
 Corn averaged little higher early with wheat, but slowly warming up tempera- lures caused prices to fall back again. December ranged from 57H@5Sc, closing steady at 571a@ssc unchanged to a shade higher than last night. The cash market was firm early and easy later No. 2 yellow closed at Go@6oAc. Oats followed corn, but was more active. Buyers were shorts and investors. Shipping demand was shut off for the time being. High and low points for December were at 36sc and 361b@9sc with the close at the last named price, a net loss of 1sc.
 The provisions market was somewhat unsettled and principally in the hands of packers At the wind up pork ranged from 20c lower to PFC higher; lard 50 121kc up, and ribs at 21aq5c advance to 10c decline.

Monument to the Glad Hand From the National Monthly


 Some people discussed what would happen If an irresistible force were to meet an immovable body, when it is far more profitable to consider what would transpire with the antithesis of such conditions prevails-namely, when an "easy mark" with an overflow of egotism meets up with a sure enough diplomat, whatever his line of goods may be. That was just the circum- stances when Uncle Andy Carnegie, with his roll of vanity seven times as large as his bank roll, encountered the Hon. John Barrett with his glad hand and old fellow" greeting. The answer Is simple enough, the Ironmas- ter unben@ed, and the golden shekels jingled from his pockets to the tunes of half million or so, and tho Hon. J. B. built the magnificent marble pal ace which stands just beyond the White House in Washington, as a home for the International Bureau of Amer ican Republics, a coiisummation which has brought the Republics of the Three Americas into closer relationship and friendship than ever before existed.

BUSINESS QUIET
 !, IN STOCK MARKET
Prices Change Little Either Way in the Trading
WAITING FOR HOLIDAY
dition of Cotton Crop But It Has Little Effect Upon Prices
 of Stocks

New York, September 2-Speculative dealings in stocks were curtailed greatly today. Yesterdays excess of activity seemed to represent the limit to which the professional operators were willing to go. Some further selling was in evidence early today apparently designed to test the market. The bears were intimidated by signs of support in the two or three stocks in which activity centers They found also little evidence of a supply of stocks for sale which would prove available for their needs In the event of desire to cover their short contracts The bear selling came to a stop. Shortly after : noon many brokers left the floor of the stock exchange to be gone until next Tuesday, when business will be re- i stunned.
 The government report on cotton condi- tion was the last factor relied on to weaken any active interest in the market. i Both the stock and cotton markets were practically unresponsive to the showing. While the condition figure was in close accord with estimates in the trade, 1t was In contrast in that respect, with the un- expected deterioration shown by the re- port month ago. and moreover was bet ter than the preceding estimates offered by some of the recognized exports. The cotton report, therefore, was not a factor of Encouragement in the days market.
 The preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement bore out the supposi- ton that the drain on the cash holdings of the banks would run to the neighbor- hood of Sl0,000,000. The great dullness of the present demand for credits in New York leaves the movement without any great influence The issuance of the call for national bank statements as of Sep tember 1 promises hardship for interesting comparison with the June 30 for the light 1t will throw on the loan position of the banks in the south and west
 The private discount rate in London showed yielding tendency today, but the foreign exchange rate here was little af- fected. Great interest attaches to the settlement of the controversy over the standing of bills of lading on American cotton shipments and the postponement of the meeting of London bankers called for today to consider the matter left an ad- ditional feature of uncertainty.
 The impression was not one which had anytpositive reflection in the days stock market, however.
