YACHTS TO RACE
FOR FAMOUS CUPS
Atlantic II and Katoura to Meet
on Wednesday.

The feature Of the week in the yacht
ing world will be the races for the
famous trophies the Cape May and
the Bronton Reef cups-which were
presented 10 the New York Yacht Club
in 1872 by James Gordon Bennett. then
commodore of the club.
The races are OF international inter
est, for they were won and held by
British yachts FOR many years. In
1898 the cutter Britannia, owned by
His Royal Highness the Prince OF
Wales, won the Cape May Cup from
T. B. c. Vests Wendur.
james Cox Brady. Of the New York
Yacht Club. who recently bought the
famous three-masted schooner Atlantic
II, winner Of the German Emperor's
Cup in the race from Sandy Hook TO
the Lizard in 1905, challenged the Ka-
toura, owned by Robert r. Tod. a few
weeks ago for q race for both cups. the
Katoura being The present holder Of
the trophies.
Commodore Tod has accepted both
challenges. and the first race-that for
the Cape May Cup-will be started off
Ambrose Lightship Wednesday morn
ing at 1880. The course is TO and
around the Five Fathom Bank Lightship
Oft Cape May and return, distance of
PA miles. The regatta committee Of
the New York Yacht CluD will manage
the race, which is to be sailed without
time limit or time allowance and ac-
cording 20 the racing rules Of the club.
II will be a four-minute handicap start.
The same conditions will govern the
race for the Brenton Reef Cup, which
is 10 start at the same place on Sat
urday morning, unless postponed at
the request Of either contestant. The
distance is 264 miles.
An interesting feature Of these races
will be the fact that the Corinthian

POINT ID LARGE WHEAT CROPS Authorities State Neither Blight Nor Rust Could
 Affect Promise

Chicago July 3t.-Prospects of a bumper yield in the spring crop states proved more than an offset today for wet weather over the great part of the winter wheat belt. In consequence the wheat market, although unsettled at the close, was F e ssc to 2Ac un- der last night. Other net changes were Corn 1sc off to ssc up and oats Ac down to 1hc advance. The outcome In provisions was the same as last night to TIC higher.
 Crop reports could hardly have been more bearish from the Dakotas and Minnesota, the banner states for spring wheat. According to one authority, the conditions there now were such that neither blight nor rust could material ly cut down the promise. the only thing 10 fear being wet harvest. It was said also that the big movement of winter and spring wheat would be like ly to come at the same time and would test to the utmost the transportation and terminal facilities of the country. In view of such advices an early ad- vance due mainly to rains in the dis tricts where the winter crop harvest has not yet been finished was forced to give way to a material decline from which no important rally took place.
 Deliveries on July wheat contracts were settled up without any unusual trouble. Shorts appeared to be in some difficulty in the first part of the day, but on the other hand longs found 1t at least equally hard to dispose of hold lngs in the last quarter hour of the session. The bullish state report from Kansas failed to have any permanent effect on the market and there was no evidence of an urgent export call. The sinking of another ship by German submarine tended somewhat to increase the pressure to sell.
 In the corn market July shorts GOV cred freely and thus did a good deal at first to harden prices all around. Deferred options, however, declined afterward with wheat and as result of improved crop reports from the more southern sections of the belt
 July oats advanced to the highest price of the crop. On the bulge, though houses that generally act for the sea- board were active sellers until the rise was checked.

One of the Miracles


 The gasoline engine. which made possi- ble the flying machine and the automo- bile, has arisen and come to perfection within the lifetime of men who are still in college. Will there be any other won ders equal to this for the generation who are babies now to see? One day last month in Indianapolis a young man moved up the earth at the rate of 90 miles an hour for several hours. Barring an occasional stretch of a few minutes on a few miles of railroad, this is the fastest motion of a human being on the surface of the earth For time measured in hours, this generalization Is certainly true. Compared to what this modest young American did, the chariot races of Rome were the awkward playing of babies. Ralph De Palma's official record on the Mercedes car was 500 miles in 5 hours. 33 minutes and 65M seconds, the average speed being S9S4 miles an hour. The minute mechanical perfection that has been achieved by the automobile makers during the past few years is suggested by the fact that only four years ago, in 1911 the record was 7459 miles an hour. In the race this year. the tenth car beat the fastest car of 1911. Among these 10 cars, six were Amer ican built The young man who did this unprecedented thing at Indianapolis ia Italian born. He came to America when he was six years old. never drinks alco- hol, never smokes, and leads the life of clean restraint which makes his nerves and muscles possible.

Gas Poison for Soldiers


 Whether We are Justified in copying the German example in regard to the use or asphyxiating gases is mat Ter on which the British army will soon give an answer to the Huns in the field U Is Interesting to note that there Is no difficulty about producing chlorine gas-which Is that mainly employed by the Germans-and discharging 1t at the enemys trenches when the wind Is favorable. Any of our manufacturing chemists could produce enough chlorine In day or two to suffocate the whole German army from the Yser to the Nistu1a, for chlorine Is familiar to English chemical manufacturers, who until few years ago. were the only mak ers of this chemical.
 Chlorine is a greenish- yellow gas with peculiarly unpleasant and sui locating smell. and with those terrible effects on tho lungs. throat and mem branes of its victims which have been described by Dr. Haldane and Sir John French.
 The cost of suffocating our troops by the Germans Is not heavy. Liquid chlorine costs about f2b a ton. contain Ing ITO gallons, and this will produce large volume of deadly gas.
 It Is interesting to note that the Idea of "gassing" an enemy was sug- gested nearly half a century ago by four Frenchmen. but at that time it was thought that the invention was too horrible to be allowed In field oper- ations although 1t was agreed that 1t might be used by small storming par ties at close quarters. when the gases might be compressed in shells and flung by catapu1t. According to Truth however, the invention came to noth- Ing.

DRY GOODS MARKET IN BETTER CONDITION Shortage of Dyes Affect the COlOred Goods
 Situation

New York, July H.--The weeks trade in cotton goods showed little improve ment in volume and a further improve ment in the setting of values in staples for fall. Staple ginghams and staple tickings have been priced on the spring basis for fall distribution. The bleached cottons that were revised downward half cent a yard to facilitate future business have been advanced Ac. and good for ward business has been booked. The col- ored goods situation grows more trouble some in manufacturing districts where curtailment of production is being forced through a scarcity. of dyes. The largest producer of ginghams has given notice of a three weeks shut down, beginning fin the middle of August, and this Is but preliminary to further curtailment on the same scale. Advance business on fine and fancy cottons for spring is slow. Salesmen are now on the road showing samples and business Is expected to be of a cautious character for a time. Job bers who have been in the markets this week seem sanguine of full fall dis tribution in their own territories and they explain their slow ordering for future needs by a desire to buy from hand to mouth while political uncertainties con- tinue. Prints are quiet and brown sheet fngs and drills are very quiet. Export trade is expanding steadily. Some im- provement was noted in the demand for wide print cloths at the weekend. Prices quoted are as follows:
 Print cloths. 2s-inch 64x64s, 3lsc; 64x6Cs. Sc; 3s1t-inch 64x64's, 8 16-16c. and 4c; brown sheetings, southern standards, 6Ac; denims, s-ounce, 14c; tickings. Bounce. 11hc; staple ginghams. 6Ac; standard prints, SAc; dress ginghams, 9hc.

COTTON MARKET NERVOUS AT CLOSE Uncertainties Over Wealth. CT Conditions Affect Mar

New Orleans, July 31.-After a ses- sion of nervous fluctuations today, cot ton closed at net decline of 1 point to a net advance of l point. At one time prices were points under yesterdays 8 close and at another they were to G points above. Trading was chiefly of an evening-up character few opera tors caring to take on fresh commit ments because of uncertainties over the weather and Mondays report on con- dition.
 First prices were to 4 points up but this small advance quickly was re- placed by a small decline under selling stimulated by reports of rain in Texas. The market recovered later and went to the highest levels of the season on bull sh forecasts of Mondays condition 1e. port. Toward the close longs liquidate d rather freely and the market sagged under the offerings
 Crop reports were unfavorable on the whole complaint being made of the effects of continued drouth on the planr. Texas reports, however, stated that the movement of new crop cotton was increasing and was on a fairly liberal scale.

COTTON DECLINES
 0N WEATHER REPORT
Rains in Cotton Belt Restore Crop to Satisfactory
 Condition

New York. July S1.-A feeling that Texas was likely to get more general rainfall over Sunday seemed to dominate the cot ton market on Saturday and while at the opening prices were to 4 points net higher. a gradual reaction took place throughout the forenoon with the result that at the close the tone was barely steady at a net decline of 8 to points.
 The impression that the southwest drouth was likely to be at least partially broken, was gathered more from the character of private crop advices than it was from the forecast. as the latter indi- cated fair weather throughout the belt, both west and east. There were many private reports of rains in west and northwest Texas. which the trade be- lleyed would extend into the larger pro- ducing areas of the state and as most of the leading advices regarding crop conditions have given the Idea that dam age Is more prospective than present. 1t was thought that rains at any time within the next few days would do much to re- store the crop to its previous satisfactory condition. A southern crop expert wired In regard to the Carolinas and Georgia that the crop was good. but would de- teriorate rapidly unless ran appeared noon. The absence of cables owing to a holiday at Liverpool and the nearness of the government report had the effect Of changing outside business during the session A decline of a couple of points was generally expected in the bureau re- port. AS the average Of seven private condition reports thus far received is TIT compared with 10-year government average of 7s.5. Print cloth sales at Fall River for the week were 10000 pieces against 70,000 last year while curtailment was only 45,o00 against 9o.0oo a year ago. Sales of 100000 pieces are noted in the local market since last Thursday.
