MARKET QUIET
AND IRREGULAR
Traders Talk Much Of Future De-
velopments Such as Crop and
Grain Reports.
STEEL COMMON HOLDS UP
STEEL COMMON HOLDS VI

New York, Aug. 1e-The market was
quiet and irregular to-day, with traders
talking Of future developments such as
crop and grain reports and the Maine and
Vermont State elections, which will be
OF great Importance to the position of the
market in September. Steel common re-
sisted efforts to depress il, but made lit
tie response TO announcements Of fur
ther advances in the prices of important
steel products. Ontario and Western had
been strong for the past few days be-
cause of the plans of the New Haven
system to take the smaller road over,
but the announcement of the New Ha-
ven's application did not alter the stock
market position of o. and W.
Canadian Pacific was one of the strong
est issues, while its subsidiary. the 500
Line, advanced Two points. Texas Com
pany, American Ice. and other special
ties were strong. Reading was subjected
to pressure early in the morning. but
part of its earlier loss.
The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford filed a petition with the Public
Service Commission to take over all OF
the Ontario and Western stock not now
held. stating that through the smaller
road the Great Lakes and the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite region could be reached

Need Crop Moving Money.
Funds for crop moving will be more
in demand this year than usual. owing
TO the large harvest now in prospect,
but New York banks are not in as
strong a position as they should be TO
supply the funds needed. The supply of
cash is at present inadequate for the
expected large calls on 1t, while the
surplus reserve is also short of what
is needed to be able to finance the crops,
and still have good bank statement fig
ures here II has been estimated that
s., 900, 100000 monetary capital is needed
for grain movements alone. and a very
large amount additional for the cotton
crop, for which Texas alone needs si0,
O60.000. Although the banks are not pre-
pared fully at present with the first
drafts from the interior for the crops
coming in, there is hope in the situation.
the warning has been sounded for
several weeks, and banks in the interior
and South are preparing for a partial
failure of funds from New York.
An additional proof of the belief of rail-
road officials that crop moving will tax
their capacity to the limit is given in the
great rush with which the Erie double
tracking work is being done in hopes that
it will be finished by the time the crops
are ready. Railroads all over the coun-
try are gathering their cars at terminals
or within easy reach, and urging ship
pers to empty those in use as rapidly as
possible. SO that the great car famine, pre-
dicted to arrive by October 1. will be
averted, or the difficulty minimized as far
as possible.
Strength in both Pennsylvania and At
lantic Coast Line securities recently has
been ascribed to the old rumor that the
Pennsylvania would acquire the other
road to get port facilities in the South.

Officer of Titanic Says Unknown
Ship Was in Sight But
7 his,i,,t Heed Call
LESS THAN FIvGa
FROM DISABILITY Ru ANIC
Gould Have Saved All Had She
Needed Frantic Calls and Come
at Once to Rescue Passengers
and Crew

WASHINGTON, April 22.-With
succor only five miles away, the
Titanic slid into a watery grave, car
rying more than 1900 passengers and
crew while an unidentified steamer
that might have saved all failed or
refused to see the frantic signals of
those on board.
This tragetic FEATURE was brought
out before the senate investigating
committee by j. BoXhall, fourth offic-
err of the Titanic, who told of sig
mailing an unknown vessel and of OBJ
serving her masthead light and side
lights. Several officers, Including
Captain Smith, said at the time that
their belief was that the vessel had
seen them and was signalling in reply.
Boxall failed to see the replies how
ever. In any case the steamer kept
her course past the Titanic without
extending aid.
This and the assertion of p. A. S.
Franklin, vice-president of the White
Stare line that there We're not enough
lifeboats aboard the Titanic to care
for the ships company at sea were
the features of the hearing. BoXhall
is expected to appear again on the
stand to tell more fully of the events
preceding the collision. The hearing
will be resumed tomorrow.

HAYS WAS CONFIDENT
TITANIC WOULD FLOAT
AT LEAST EIGHT HOURS
said Goodbye to Friend Who Manned
Lifeboat at Order of Captain

NEW YORK. April 22.-Major
Arthur lPuechen, a wealthy resident
of Toronto, Canada, was the last man
off the Titanic to say goodbye to
Charles M Hays, president of the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway, who lost
his life.
After assisting the members of the
crew in filing up the first five boats,
Major Puechen. who is an experienced
yachtsman, was assigned by the sec
ond mate to take charge of boat No.
6. Major Puechen said he declined %
accept such a post, not desiring to get
preference over his fellow passengers.
Captain Smith wishing an eX-
perienced boatsman on No. 6, asked
the second mate to give the major Il
written order to take charge, and
Major Puechen displayed this order
to some of his friends, SO as to make
it plain that it was at the demand of
the ships officers that he undertook
the assignment.
Just as the major was about to
leave in the lifeboat his old friend,
Charles NJ. Hayes OF the Grand Trunk,
came up and said goodbye.
Mr. Hays remarked to the major
that the boat could not possibly sink
within eight hours and that long be-
fore then everybody would be taken
off safely Mr.. Hays expressed no fear
that he would be lost by remaining.

SALOON LICENSES
ARE BEING REVOKED
City Commissioners by Resolution
Notify Three Saloons They
Must Quit

Two resolutions We're passed by the
city commissioners in session Monday
that are causing much comment and
speculation. The first was that re-
newal of the license of r. G. ThOmp-
son & Son, of the Bodega Bar, at t6 y
North First street, would not be
granted. Their license will expire on
May 3. The city clerk was instructed
to notify the proprietors aforesaid to
close their business on May 3. The
second resolution was similar in tenor
in reference to the saloon of O. Sand
berg, of No. 9, South Front street.
The license for this saloon will eX-
pire September I, 1912. There was a
provisio to this. to the effect that he
would be allowed to run until his
license expired, unless in the mean
time the license was revoked.
The proprietor of the Stag saloon
on South First street was notified a
month or SO ago that his license.
which will expire May I, would not
be renewed. so it can be readily seen
that the city commission are of the
opinion that there are too many sa-
looms i'm this city, or else that some
of them are not of the right kind
The speculation regarding the ac-
ton of the city commissioners is gem
orally that the move is political
one.
