Buyers in Gotham.
At this time the hotels of the city
are filled with out-of-town merchants
and buyers This does not mean that
the hotel proprietors are putting up
cots in the corridors to accommodate
the overflow or that the city needs a
dozen more hotels to hold the arrivals.
The actual fact is that all the hotels
are doing a prosperous business and
that the guests who are mere ala not
come for nothing.
They are buying goods as they have
not bought before in many moons
The situation in their respective locall-
ties justif1es this activity and indicates
what is now purchased and put on
shelves will be quickly sold. The gen
eral public of consumers, north, south.
east and west and in the MISSISSIPPI
valley have the inclination and the
ability to buy merchandise. and the re-
tail trade is more than willing to meet
their desires.
The merchants and their representa-
tives have come with f1eshy order
books and are giving wholesalers an
idea of what prosperity means. There
is going to be a big autumn trade,
hardly short of a boom in its proper
tons, and next winter will be a cheer
full season when long faces and peSsi-
mism will disappear and the business
community will rejoice that they have
an opportunity to participate in this
pleasing experience. At the end of Au-
gust, when the record of the month
is complete. it viii be possible to COM
pare the arrivals of this year with
those of 1914. but such a comparison
will be valueless since significant fig
ures always show big advance on the
row of dphers. w. S. COUSINS.

LIGHTER OUT ON RAILWAY.
Large Vessel Used for Hauling Clay
Practically to Be Rebuilt.

One of the large lighters belonging
to John Miller & Co, and used in the
transportation Of brickmaking clay
from Swan creek, near River View, Md.
to the brickmaking plants on the
Eastern branch, is out on the marine
railway at BENEFITS boatyard to be
rebuilt. 1t is probable that most of
the timbers and planking in the craft
will have to be removed and replaced
with new material, so that when the
lighter is put overheard she will be
pra ctically new craft.
The steam lighter Boo Hoo, belonging
to l.. A. Clarke & Son of this city,
which was blown ashore in Neabsco
creek in a storm about two weeks
ago and which was left almost in the
woods, has been floated and is now at
High point, where she has been en-
ployed in loading railroad ties on a
barge. The Boo Hoo was but little
| damaged by going ashore and the in
juries were of such nature as not to
require her being brought here for
/ repairs. The vessel will return to this
city in the latter part of this month.

BARGE AND STEAMER COLLIDE.
Greensboro Stove In by Louise
With Engines Backing.

The power barge Louise, belonging
to Robert Murphy of Mount Holly, Va,
collided with the steamer Greensboro
of Pennsgrove, n. j., Friday morning,
in Baltimore harbor. The Greensboro
had her starboard side above the water
line crushed in. The Louise was I'M
damaged.
The accident occurred as the Louise
was going into dock. The Greensboro
backed across her bow.
Capt Caulk,. aster of the Louise had
his vessels engine in the back motion,
and her Roadway partially checked
when the crash came. Had it not been
for this the Greensboro would have
been sunk.
The Louise was until recently a reg
ular visitor to this city with wood
and lumber cargoes from Nomipi and
other Potomac points. For several
months she has been making regular
trips to Baltimore from the lower Poto-
mac.

August Trade Excellent.

With the opening of the present

merchants and buyers who have not
come to town for fun, although they
are enjoying their experience immense

umns the July arrivals at the city

a very great difference otherwise be-
cause in 1914 the visitors came and
bought nothing, while in 1915 they
arrived to make large purchases.
August, however. is very large ad-
vance over last year. This fact is not
remarkable in itself, because in 1914
everything was fat as a horizontal line
and business was dead. To say that
the present situation is better than it

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August 21-Improving
weather conditions and reports of in
creased spot offerings in the south, COM
bined with continued nervousness over
the international situation, appeared
responsible for a rather sharp break
in the cotton market here today The
close was steadied by covering, but
prices showed net losses of from to 16
points for the day, with December con-
tracts quoted at 9.47, or about $3.50 per
bale below the high level reached on
Thursdays bulge.
At the start it looked as though the
uncertainty. of the political situation
was restricting business, and trading
appeared to be chiefly in the way of
closing out old commitments for over
the week end. But after opening at
decline of 3 to points. in keeping with
the relatively easy cables, the market
soon became more active, with senti-
ment bearishly Influenced by the APP
pearance of gradually clearing weather
IN the south, and reports that Georgia
was Offering spot cotton at about a
tenderable basis. good deal of the
selling seemed to come through houses
with Liverpool connections, and as
English buyers were reported to be
picking up early new crop cotton in
the southwest there was some uncer-
tainty as to whether the selling here
was in the way of hedging or on strad-
die account. In any event. it was re-
garded as indicating expectations of a
still further widening of the differences
between domestic and foreign mar
kets. and bearish sentiment was also
encouraged by the less favorable re-
views of the dry goods trade at first
hands, and the unsettled ruling of the
stock market. About the only sup
port seemed to be in the way of real
izing by recent sellers on a scale down,
and some New Orleans selling here
was accompanied by reports that good
middling cotton was being offered in
the market there at S5 points on Octo-
Der. The break carried October con-
tracts Off to 9.1S and January to 957

GETTING READY FOR OYSTERS.
Boats and longs Being 0verhauled
for Opening of Season.

Though the oyster season is still
three weeks from opening time. all
along the lower river, both in Mary
land and Virginia, oystermen are over
hauling boats and tongs, and the own
ers of the runboats are cleaning and
painting them, preparatory to their
going into commission to bring cargoes
of oysters here.
Under the laws of both Maryland and
Virginia longing for oysters on the
natural rocks cannot be started until
September Is. and it is a month later
before the oyster dredge boats are al
lowed to start work.
Reports received from the oyster pro-
ducing section of the Potomac state
that the outlook for good oyster
season is fairly bright. Well grown
new oysters have been found on the
natural rocks. and the river last fall
was full of oyster spat seeking some
thing hard to make fast to and start
developing into marketable oysters.
Oystermen state that it takes about
four years for an oyster to grow to
a marketable size. Oysters can be had
at the wharf market now, but they
come from private beds and the de-
mand for them is very light.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, August 21-Pro-
nounced weakness was shown by cot
ton today as a result of dispatches
from Washington in connection with
the sinking of the Arabic. Heavy prof
1t taking by shorts saved the market
from wide slump. This was the only
support it had. The market opened at
the decline and closed at the lowest
of the day. at net loss of 13 to Is
points.
, Poor cables caused much bearish feel
ing on the opening and considerable
long cotton was unloaded. The
weather map was called extremely
favorable and added to bearish senti-
ment, but little attention was paid to
the weather or other developments
and features, because of the interest in
the situation between this country and
Germany.
In the early trading there was more
short covering to realize than was the
case later, as. toward the close fresh
short selling increased on private re-
ports from Washington that diplomatic
relations with Germany might be
broken off.

There is every indication that the
meeting of the executive committee of
the citizens G. A. r. encampment COM
mittee, scheduled for II o'clock We'd
nesday morning in the headquarters of
the Chamber of Commerce, will be one
of the most businesslike of any of the
meetings which that committee has
held. The various subcommittee are
now actively engaged in making prep
arations for the encampment. Acting
Chairman Robert y. Harper has called
the committee chairmen together for
the purpose of obtaining a definite I'M
derstanding concerning the duties ex-
pected of each of them. He wants to
avoid all duplication of effort, if pos
sible.
1t is believed that by Wednesday a
definite decision will have been reached
concerning the veteran who is to serve
as the grand marshal of the parade.
which is to be one of the most i'm

A suggestion has been made to Mr..

a large stand at the corner of the
