THE WORLDS COTTON
 IS IN NEW YORK CITY
More Than 100000 Bales Piled Noun
 tain High on Piers.

New. York, Aug. 3.-New York today is the greatest cotton port in the world. There are 215,208 bales in ware houses and on piers in the greater city, all under. contracts, the terms of which require that the cotton be moved with not be held here. It has been sold to consumers all over the world, and they want it.
 The cotton is not being sold on spec ulation, the brokers will tell you; transactions are made on a merchan- disc basis. Brokers these days are occupied not in stock accounts, but in signing bills of lading. Cotton men say that such a situation has never existed here before, and that no port in the world ever had so much cot ton s-on the move.''
 When the steamship Friedrich Will helm leaves tomorrow she will have 2.127 bales in her hold. The steam ship Caroline takes 5,571 bales on Sat urday- Other stea mships have been booked for cargo space by cotton men this month. On the other side, those operators who are short on the market are engaging freight for 120.000 bales. and this means that the fight between those who now hold the cotton and those who have to deliver it is not ended.
 In the meantime the buIkheads of sections of South Brooklyn and Staten Island are piled and damned with bales. Harbor voyagers on the ferries gain even from casual observation the which figures of the amount of cot ton now in this port bear out In the last week or so the bulk of cotton to be moved by lighters to various railrads and steamships has seriously the general freight movement

ABOUT HALF OF THE
 OLD EMPLOYES REiNSTATED.
Liberal Policy of Grand Trunk Off,
 ciaIs Toward the Strikers.

Montreal, Que, Aug. .S-About 30 per cent. of the five thousand Grand Trunk conductors. trainmen and yard men who struck on July IS were rein stated in their old positions today. The developments of the day tended to show a liberal policy the part of the railroad officials toward the strik- CTS, the delay in placing many of them being due to the disorganized condi- ton of train schedules and the impos sibility of re-esta blishing stilem in A hours. Many of the men running trains were taken from other branches of the service and they will be sent back to their former employment, thus making room for more strikers.
 In the end, it was stated by railroad officials there will be enough positions for the men taken on during the strike and their old employees. None of the new men will be discharged however, and between 20 and 30 per cent of the strikers will not receive immediate mplOyment.
