Tobacco Gains Five Points,

Higher Figures
Canadian Pacific Heavy
American Express Goes
Off 1874 Points

NEW YORK, Aug. 85.-With business
in fairly large volume, bdays stock
market resumed this upward swing.
Some of the high priced specialties.
notably the tobacco issues, had gains
exceeding S points. Canadian Pacific
showed heaviness and American Ex-
press lost lax points.
The movement lacked definite cause,
other than better crop prospects In
the northwest, the outlook in the south
and southwest, according to the on
cial report, still showing serious de-
fciency In rainfall, although there ap-
pears little foundation for the asser-
tion that two-thirds Of the corn crop
is in danger OF ruin.
It Is not improbable that the further
rise resulted as much from technical
conditions in the stock market as from

Hutton's New York Letter
Today's session was the most en-

has been held for some time. A squirt
of bullish activity in the late after
noon carried the leading stocks to new
high figures Traders said stocks were
supplied on the advance, but they have
been saying the same thing for weeks.

S. P. AUTO FERRY
IS D|sCONT T|NUED
Ferry Boat Solano, on Port
Costa-Benicia Run Is
Taken Off

The practice of Carrying automobiles
on the Southern Pacific company's 8
ferry boat Soiano. plying between Port
Costa and Benicia has been discontin-
ued. This is done to obviate the danger
Of accidents, both to the occupants of
the machines themselves. In keeping
out of the way of trains, and because
of the fire risk arising from carrying
gasoline machines on passenger boats.
In the past, the Southern Pacific COM
pany handled automobiles across the
straits of Carquinez as matter of ac-
comodation because there was no other
way of ferrying. Since the tablish-
ment OF the ferry boat Seattle between
Benicia and Martinez, however. this
need for automobilists has been salts
fed in another way. and the Solano
service is no longer necessary.
The tendency of all railroads is to
keep gasoline machines away from pas
senger service. Otherwise there Is al
ways the danger of lighted match or
cigar or cigarette igniting the com
tents of a leaky gasoline tank and
causing a disastrous explosion.
United States inspectors recently
ruled against smoking on any deck of
a vessel on which automobiles are
standing.

The poultry market badly overstocked
with hens yesterday. rs it was toward the close

horns. As usual at this time of the year, when
the production of eggs Is decreasing. shippers are
keeping the market filed up with small and
medium sized hens. and they have to compete
with large eastern fowls. which are also coming
forward freely. Four OF the latter have
been received thus far for the week. All kinds
Of young chickens are finding the usual prompt
