The heavy rains Of the first Of last
week resulted in q complete overflow
ct the bottom lands causing terrible
amount Of damage to those who are
living there. The rise was sudden
and although It has been about six
days since the flood came, it.has fall
len but very little at this writing.
We believe those of this vicinity
who suffered most from this over
flow was John Walker and family,
as the water got into the house and
ruined so many Of the things, besides
losing his entire crop.

STOCK MARKET
Closing Heavy-Bonds Easy.
CrucibIe Steel Touches
90 ga.

NEW YORK, Aug. MANY shares
showed the effect of distribution un-
der cover of the vigorous advance in
special issues, but the general strength
OF the market was conserved until the
railroad list began to sag. Prices
then fell rapidly, to below yesterdays
finals in most instances. The closing
was heavy.
Unconfirmed reports of large bene-
fits from war orders continued to
affect sentiment to high degree, and
although published earnings of some
industrial concerns failed to disclose
the huge profits alleged to have been
gained the public demand continued
for this class of securities. A few
stocks made further striking gains.
Crucible Steel touched 92%, General
Motors 207 and Willys-Overland 148%,
gains of to II points. In the light
reaction, however, Bethlehem Steel
gave way IL points from the high,
General Motors and Crucible Z
Bonds were easy.
10:30 a. m.-Although a few of the
active specialties advanced strongly
at abe opening today, movements
elsewhere were small and the market
as whole was narrow. Crucible
Steel was the center of speculative
activity. 1t was bid up 3A to 921a, the
highest price on record. United States
Alcohol also made a record by rising
313 to &c. Bethlehem Steel, long the
most conspicuous of the war stocks,
was less active. It rose 11s after
being quoted fractionally under yes
terday's close. Railroad shares were
listless but firm.

Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Aug. THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of to 10 points in response to con-
tinued finnness in Liverpool, the
failure of the weather map to indl-
cate any important rain in the South
west and bullish private crop ac-
counts from that section. There was
considerable realizing on the ad-
vance. which carried prices back to
nearly the high point Of yesterday,
and the Western belt forecast Tor
cloudy weather. seemed to promote
some scattered selling, but the out
look for rain over Sunday was NOT
clear enough to create any aggres-
sive pressure, and the market was
fairly steady at reactions of 3 or i
noints during the early trading.
The early reaction carried prices
a point or two under last nights clos
ing figures, but prices hardened on
liverpool and New Orleans buying
after the publication Of the Texas
weather details showing no rain ana
higher temperatures The close was

LOCAL TRADING
WAS VERY LIGHT
Stocks and Bonds Did Not At
tract This Week-Market
Is Firm.

Trading in the local stock and bond
market was light this week. 1t was
confined, for the most part, to bond
offerings, but even in them the sales
were few and far between.
In contrast with that lack of activ-
ity was the general firmness of the
market. Here and there throughout
the list there were recessions in the
prices, but as an offset to them frac-
tional advances were recorded in
other securities. The tone in both
stocks and bonds was generally
steady.
Some of the new Public Service
Mortgage Sinking Fund 5s changed
hands at 951s AT that price they
yield investors 5.27 per cent. In Pub
lie Service Corporations General
Mortgage 5s there were a few trans
actions at sly, yielding to buyers an
income of 5.78 per cent. Public Serv-
ice Corporations Perpetual Interest
Bearing Certificates changed hands
in small lots at 104, at which figures
they yield 5.77 per cent. In the other
bonds transactions were light at un-
changed prices.
Very little was done in the guar
anteed stocks, which are now at most
attractive price levels. Paying diyi-
dends from d to per cent, they are
being offered at prices that yield
from 51a to a little more than 6A
per cent.
All the bank and insurance stocks
were firm at unchanged prices. Money
continued easy.

ARCHITECTSARE
NOT IN DEMAND
At THIS TIME
Past Week Has Not Been Pro-
life in Output of
Plans.

The past week has been productive
of but little, if any, increase in tine
activity of the building trade in this
vicinity. The nothing doing" sign,
displayed prominently in the offices
of local architects for many weeks
past, is still on exhibition, and there
is litt1e likelihood of it being taken
down for the next several months at
least, according to report.
Already many of the house design
ers are casting about for more
profitable field of endeavor. The jit-
ney business has appealed strongly
to some of the pen and ink artists.
While others have thought seriously
OF opening factories for the manufac-
ture of war munitions.
August M. Kleeman has completed
plans for new one-family dwelling
house to be built at 2SS Hillcrest ter
race, East Orange, for Anton Harl-
finger. The house will occupy an
area of 24x34 feet, and will contain
eight rooms. All modern improve
ments will be installed. The cost will
be about $3,500.
Mr.. Kleeman has also drawn plans
for two-story extension to be made
on the home of Nicholas KleinhenZ, at
543 South Eighteenth street. The ex-
tension will measure 19x20 feet, and
will provide an extra bedroom and
kitchen on each floor. The cost will
be about 81 200.
Work was started yesterday on a.
garage to be built at % Woodland
place for William F. Frisch. The
garage will measure 35x50 feet. Of
fee quarters are to be provided, and
steam heat and electric lights will be
installed. The building will be of
brick construction. The cost will be
$4,000. Frederick Noble
drew the plans.
