has compared with what should
be Mt their command. Not the
managers of Southern railroads,

banking houses in New York

these roads, are the ones whom
the blame must rest for not pro-

1t cannot be too strongly en-
phasized that the banking and
prompting houses Interested in
financing Southern WATERPROOF

create the Industries which will
take power thus generated.
Public service corporations
must be leaders in the upbuild-

The railroads and the bank

their campaign in a way which
as yet they have seemed to
little dream of if they would
make the most of the situation

New York, Aug. 22.-Cotton opened steady at an, advance of 1@5 points on a renewal of yesterdays coverine movement and in sympathy with a steady Liverpool cable. The demand however, was far less active than on the previous day and the market quickly weakened on reports of showers in the Southwest and reports of heavy selling by houses with Southern connections. Prices broke to a net loss of 5@6 point between , the end of the first hour.
 Trading was less active late in the morning, but prices steadied up to about yesterdays closing on cover ing, reports of better trade demand and private advices claiming incraas- ing insect damage in the central belt. Spot normal.
 Reports of insect damage and ru- mors of a bullish National GinneTs' report sent the market or points net higher during the 1arly afternoon but most of the advance was lost under renewed realizing.

TO JUDGE A PITCHER
Only Way Is to See Him in Ac.
 tion, Says McGuire.
Twirler May Have Everythinq in Practice, Only to "5lowv When the Real Test Comes-Fiaht
 Ing Spirit Is What Counts.

The only way to tell anything about a pitcher is to see him bitch" said 'lm Mcclure in response to a ques- ton as to what he thought of some or the youngsters of the Tiger squad.
 lnese boys have all the actions of pltchefs so far as any one can see rom the practice stunts, but until they have been under fire decline to pass f1nal judgment on them.
 ITO my mind the ideal athlete is the one who is best when the neces- slty for being strong is greatest It's that old lighting spirit that counts. mere are lots of fellows who are wonders in practice, no matter what line of sport they may be engaged in. But parlor boxers seldom are fighters, | ana many fine Warm-up pitchers fall down terribly when they come to face the music In regular game.
 Many a time l have warmed up men who had everything that l ever nave seen pitcher display. Speed, curves, control and everything else would be theirs and 1 would feel con- 1ldent that they would be able to win that day if We got them a couple of runs. Then these fellows would go out to the center of the diamond and show me about half of what they had displayed in warming up prac- tiee.
 Tt isn't always a lack of gameness that accounts for pitchers failure to do as well in a game as in practice. Some of the men are so anxious to win that they work themselves into stew. There are plenty of fellows who are game yet cant do their best when they want to- It seems to be sort of a baseball instinct that en- ables the great pitcher to rise to the emergency. He has that fighting spirit, but at the same time keeps his head cool.
 The youngsters of the Detroit squad might pitch great ball when handing them up to the batters in practice with nothing depending on the outcome of the sluggers' efforts and yet fall down against even a mediocre club in a regular game I have seen it repeatedly happen that twirler would make the batsmen fof strong American laague club look badly when he was pI, ng to them in practice and then let some class D or college nine hammer him all over the place.

TO EXPLAIN DREAMS.
Aoar Last Waking Thoughts the key
 Says Writer in "Ccntury.,

lhe dream as it unrolls itself be- lcse the sleeper's consciousness is all allegorical or symbolical expression or the ideas which belong to ais thought world, writes the Rev. Sam uel McComb, D. D., ill the Septemheq'
 Century. Why should dreams fake on an allegorical dress? Why are th'y n>T as luta a literal tralls- ference of events and experien ces rom Wak'ng state to sleeping state? The answer is, because he normal waking consciousness which acts as kind of check upon painful ar dlsagreeable thoughts and feelings. felaXes it's activities during sleep, and allows these thoughts and feelings to pass Into consciousness, only, how ever, when their motives have been disguised under a hidden mass of 'ymbollsm. If it were not so. if dreams literally reflected the con- iilcUa ana yeafnlnSS Of the WOrkday world, they would arouse the waking consciousness and to make an end of sleep. Hence the valuable reflection Is forced upon us that dreams fulfill the important function of preserving sleep. They are thus seen to bear vltally upon our health and happi- ress
 Another interesting question which modern investigation has been able to answer, is, out of what materials are dreams constructed? Nothing can come irta our dreams that has net entered into our past experi- ences. The thoughts of the mental state immediately proceeding sleep are hard to recover afterward, but when they are recovered they are found to persist ill our dreams. But We may 90 further than this. There is nothi g incredible in the supposi- tlon that, written, as it were, with invisible ink on our nervous systems are characters inherited from our most distant ancestors.

While the market had only moder- ate purchasing power, shorts did not see fit to increase their offerings and the trading months gradually did better until at noon they were at the highest level of the morning, 4M6 points over yesterdays closing prices.
 In the afternoon the trading was light. At ? o'clock prices were one point under yesterdays close.

Bill Bergen, former Brooklyn catch CT, exiled to the International league, says that George Bell, his fellow-exile, is a better pitcher than anything Bill Dahlen has on his Brooklyn team out side of Fucker and that Bell will show 1t when he gets back in the big league. Bell returns the compliment and says Bergen is so much better than any thing on the Dodger catching staff that there is no comparison.
