SHORT COVERING ON

New York Market Finds Irregu-
Iarity, With Coal Products
Soaring.

NEW YORK, July 9.-while a better
sentiment prevailed on the Stock Ex-
change today created by the buiiish
crop report and the safe landing Of the
Adriatic at Liverpool. traders were
loath to make commitments in the face
Of advices from Washington indicating
an unfavorable reply from, Germany rela-
tive to the Lusitania sinking and hold
Ing out the prospect of a prolongation
Of the diplomatic parleys between this
country and the Kaiser's government.
Price levels continued to be irregular,
and the small gains recorded were at
tributed to the covering Of short in
terests which yesterday sold in fear OF
a mishap to the Adriatic.
Much interest centered in the skyrock-
citing on the exchange of American Coal
Products stock and the sharp fluctua-
tions on the curb Of Electric Boat COM
mon. Coal Products yesterday advanced
points on the sale of more than 10000
shares to 100. Today 1t advanced rapidly
to reach l39 before noon.
Announcement of the benefits which
are accruing to Electric Boat through
the leasing to the Vickers- Maxim Com
pany of Canada of Electric Boat patents
and designs for use in submarine con-
struction have advanced that stock IN
an almost unprecedented manner. The
stock was selling on the curb yesterday
at l57. an overnight advance Of q points
and two-day gain of 81 points. This
morning the opening bid and asked fig-
ures were 1E and $50, respectively. Be
fore the end of the first hour sales were
recorded at 1877, an advance of 40 full
points above yesterdays high figure:
The stock later reacted. however. and
hovered around 1T.
AS on yesterday. the Southwestern
railroad stocks were weak, being at-
fected by the lack OF support given
Missouri Pacific since the announcement
of the reorganization plan. Missouri
Pacific made a new low level by selling
at 3, a decline of half point from yes
terday's close and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas issues dropped appreciably. Rock
Island declined 1A points before midday
to l3st.

NO COTTON, NO DYE,

Berlin Refuses to Accede to
U. S. Requests Unless Ships
Are Allowed In.

mo American cotton, no dyestuffs."
This is the position the German gov.
ernment has taken with respect to the
efforts of this Government to negotiate
for the shipment of dyestuffs from Ger.
many to America.
The position, as now stated, is the
same one which Germany has for some
time assumed. This Government has
been trying to change it. But 1t has
not succeeded. The negotiations have
reached the stage of deadlock.
Ofhcials here have little hope of rem
edying the situation. About the only
consolation in II Is that the German
attitude In the matter may drive this
country into manufacture Of its own
sty Of treating with Berlin on the
matter not merely in the course of the
war but permanently.
Germany is not disposed to allow this
country ships in cotton, something II
cannot do unless 1t forces a modinca-
ton of the British order in council.
In other words, Germany is trying to
in the British position. Germany needs
cotton for clothing and explosives,
though it is said the supply in that
country Is ample for explosives for an
indefinite period II the use of 1t for
clothing Is curtailed
The Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce in the Department of Com
merce has instructed Erwin w. Thomp-
son, commercial attache at Berlin, to
report on the amount Of colors now on
hand In Germany, amount available for
export Immediately If war should cease
and proba bic policy of German manu-
facturers as to prices. Thompson is at
The Hague where he can work more
effectively than in Berlin.
The information sought through
Thompson 10 sought because 1t may be
helpful in the effort to build up the
dyestuffs industry in the United States.

DEMAND FOR BONDS
SEEN ON EXCHANGE
Tendency to Higher Levels, With
Some IrreguIarity, Features
Trading.

An improved demand for bonds was
manifest on the Washington Stock Ex-
change today. and while the price levels
were slightly irregular. the general
tendency was to higher levels. Stock
trading on the other hand was eH-
tremely dull. the only sale from that
list consisting Of two shares Of Wash

day.

semi nnual dividend Of per cent on
the preferred stock Of the company and
a semi-annual dividend ok<2h per cent
on the common stock. The directors au-
thorized these disbursements at meet
ing in New York yesterday.
A gratifying feature to shareholders
and officials Is the fact that after max
ing these dividend payments there Will
be a balance of t635.632 to be carried to
surplus.
The statement Of operations consider

mated figures for June. Compared with

Classed As An Incorrigible.

This Is the end Of the story and the
Dannemora prisoner would have other
prisoners who read the story in The
Star Of Hope learn q lesson from the
experience Of his pal.
Here was a man in every sense of
the word-a man any man or woman
would be proud to call his friend. says
the writer. But by those who do not
know his story he Is classed as an in
corrigible. He was guilty Of breaking
his promise. but did that promise hold
good when he had a previous promise
he had made God to keep? When he
married he promised before God to
honor. love. and protect his wife.
His wife married him, not for what
he had been or might become. but for
what he was-an ex-prisoner. She had
stood by him when every one else de-
serted him. had gone through the ago
niles Of motherhood and very nearly
sacrificed her life. She was willing to
waste the best years of her life waiting
for his release. For his loyalty to the
greatest and noblest of all things, love
Of a woman. he is called an incorri-
gible and 10 considered legitimate prey
