LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Dizziness was the rule of the hour at the
noon meeting today of the Washington
Stock Exchange. In fact. the day was a
typical midsummer Monday, with many
of the brokers still out of town at the
flag end of weekend trips and with quite
a few of their regular clients away on
vacations, SO that orders for the pur-
chase or sale Of stocks or bonds were
the exception rather than the rule. Only
nine transactions were recorded during
the exchange meeting, and none Of them
was of any considerable volume.
More than half of the trading was con-
fined to the bond list, these sales includ-
ing four $1,000 Capital Traction is. taken
at 1121a and one $1,OOO per cent bond
of the Anacostia and Potomac railroad,
taken at 1O1.
In the public utilities list Washington
Railway and Electric common naturally
attracted most attention because of the
activity which prevailed last week but
there were only two transfers Of this Sc
curity, one twenty-five-share lot going at
an and another block Of the same size
being taken at 1925. The stock closed at
42pl bid and 4219 asked. Ten shares of
Capital Traction sold at 1914
The only other transaction in the en-
tire list OF stocks and bonds was the sale
of three shares of Mergenthaler at
222J12.

Lake Chad Is Dry.
From the Geographical Journal.


You understand our curiosity, four
years after having made our first map Of
Lake Chad. to see what was the aspect
which this constantly changing lake was
likely to present. When We arrived IN the
vicinity of the lake we learned from the
natives that caravans were crossing on
dry land the northern portion, which In
1904 we had navigated on board the
Benoit GARNER: that the central portion
was merely marsh where no boat could
pass: whereas In the southern portion
certain channels, which had formerly
been closed to navigation, had become
once more practicable.
THE drying up of the northern portion
we were told, had been so rapid that
great quantity of Ash had not had time to
flee southwark and had taken refuge in
the depressions. where they had been
asphyxiated in the few inches of stagnant
and muddy water that had been left be-
hind. For the natives it was quite Ike a
new miro Gle of the fishes; they gathered
them in baskets. Even today large areas
are covered with dead fish.

Last of the Bayreuth Conductors.

From the New York Sun.
The death of Felix Motif removed the
last of the conductors of the music of
Richard Wagner who had come into per-
sonal contact with the composer. 1t is
true that Hans Richter still lives and
will be one of the conductors of the Bay
reuth festival performances this summer
but Anton Seidl, Herman Levy and Felix
Motif. who worked with the master dur
ing the early years of Bayreuth, are gone.
Engelbert Humperdinck. also an assist
ant to Wagner then. had too brief
career as a conductor TO have any in
fuence in that capacity.
The Bayreuth tradition as to the inter-
probation of the Wagner music dramas
had a firm supporter in Mott. although
he did not carry this most modern de-
velopment SO far as Michael Balling, Seg-
fried Wagner and other members of the
Wagner family, TO whom any word of
the chatelaine of Kahnfried is law. Seidls
dramatic temperament prevented him
from adopting the present Bayreuth meth
cd of drawing out every phrase Of the
music. and this rule OF Nine. Cosimas
was indeed brought to its present author
ity long after he had departed from Bay
reuth.

His Kind Of Honesty.

Two piles of apples lay upon the

rosy selection: the fruit of the other was
green and small.
Large on the top, sir, and small at the
bottom?" inquired the new assistant to
his master, as he prepared to fill q bar

Certainly not" replied the dealer vir-
tuously. Honesty is the best policy. my
boy, and one I've always held to- Put
the little apples at the top and the large

The assistant complied. His master was

farmer.
Yes" answered the assistant

SPANISH WITHIN RIGHTS.
French Protest Against Landing in
Larache Hardly Justified.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
MADRID, July s. 1911.
The French protest against the en-
barkation of Spanish forces in Larache is
hardly justifiable when the facts are ex-
amined impartially. The military opera
ton was carried out In obedience to di-
rect request from the Spanish vice consul
in Alcazar. urgently demanding succor
for the foreign residents there in view OF
the massacre of four Spanish proteges
and brutal treatment melted out to their
families.
The Spaniards, within their sphere OF
influence, have the right TO protect the
lives and property of foreigners. That
their action was amply justified there can
be no doubt, and an Ehglishman in La
rache states that this wanton massacre
might have been avoided had the Span
iards arrived sooner.

Gen. Minschkovich stated to Russian

NO PLACE FOR CAREY GIRL.
Children's Guardians Have Not
Heard From Outside Institutions.

Although John A. Cisco, secretary of
the board of childrens guardians. has
heard nothing from any of the outside
institutions to which he has written rela
tive to finding home for Florence
Carey. the Districts runaway ward. he
has not abandoned hope that his eff
forts will terminate successfully.
He expressed the opinion today that
before any of the institutions could COM
municate with him on the subject they
would first have to take it up with their
respective boards of management. This
fact. he thinks. is responsible for the
delay.
Mr.. Cisco has placed girls in outside

ipate any difficulty in this case. In the
main until permanent arrangements have
been made for her.

The cotton market opened steady, at
an advance OF ! pont on the near
months. but from to q points lower on
the later positions on local pressure from
the bears. scattering liquidation and
southern selling. Near months soon
weakened with the later deliveries, and
the general list sold off to a net decline
of about Sa1j points, under continued
pressure. inspired by disappointing
cables, continued showers in the western
belt and bearish private report, MAX
ing the condition OF the crop IS per cent,
against 50 per cent toward the end of
last month and SO per cent at the mid
die of last month. There was some trade
buying at the decline and covering
rally of about or 3 points from the
lowest.
The demand from scalping shorts,
which seemed responsible for the
slight rally noted during the earlier
trading, was readily supplied by con-
tinued Southern selling. and the mar
ket broke into new low ground for
the movement late in the forenoon,
with the tone easy and prices showing
d net loss of about 14a17 points at
midday. The western belt forecast call
ed for continued unsettled or showery
weather, and some thought that lead

port on the character of a young man
who was sutton for his daughters hand.
The detective reported favorably on the

An action against the detective for mis-
representation and negligence followed.

the dot
