Coffee Market

New York, May 16.-While not more than moderately active, the market for coffee futures made new high records for the season during todays trading There seemed to be no fresh feature in the general news that was particularly en- phasized around the ring, but the mar ket received support from some of the brokers who had been prominent buyers on recent advances. and was evidently influenced by the continued steadiness Of Brazil. Prices opened at a decline or to 3 points under little scattering liquidation, but soon rallied with July selling up to 8.54c and December to S77c during the afternoon. There seemed to be a little more coffee for sale late in the day, but the close was within a point of the best and from to 8 points net higher. Sales 4S,250; May. s.49c; June.

. A most valuable and remarkable feature of the electric locomotive is that. as it goes down grade. it can convert into electricity the power given to the train by gravity. and can turn this self-produced electrical current into the trolley-wire to as- sist other trains. That is to say, as a train drawn by an electric locomo- tive moves down slope, 1t at the same time helps to pull another train at another point on the road up
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-11

is drawing tis trains by means of elec- tric motors, just as trolley cars are drawn. The part of the road which has been electrified lies in Montana and Idaho and crosses three of the principal ranges of the Rockies. As the electric train thunders along, it passes through tunnels. crosses rivers, and climbs steep and difficult grades. The experiment, therefore, is being made in region where conditions of traffic are by no means easy.

THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE.

l(Dr. s. B. Torman, in St. Nicholas)
 Tn the fAr Northwest one of our { great railroads. the Chicago. Milwau- }kee and St. Paul, Is making an experi- lm5nta which, If 1t proves to be suc- fconsful, may in time lead to a com Ip1sts change in our system of haul }ihg txains. This company has done |owax with the steam locomotive along Sotc than 200 mtlss of its tracks, and

The electric power for drawing the trains is obtained from mountain wa terfalls along the route, instead of from coal. Here Is the chief advan- tage of the electric system. By using the force of falling water to generate the electric current a vast amount of fuel is saved. If the pow CT of the countless waterfalls in the mountainous regions of the Far West were used for drawing trains. millions of tons of coal would be saved every
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-11

year. But the saving of fuel is only one of the advantages which the cleo tric locomotive has over the steam locomotive. The electric locomo- tive is smokeless, noiseless and dirt less: it has no ashes to be dumped, no fires to be cleaned, no boilers to be inspected; 1t uses neither coal nor water; it has a tractive, or pulling power much greater than the steam locomotive, and can therefore draw heavier lo.ds.

slope. If all the advantages which are claimed for the electric locomo- tive are real and lasting. it would seem that the d6om of the steam To- comotive has been sounded and that the day may not be far distant when it will disappear as a means of trans portation."

INDIANA FLORISTS
CLOSE SUCCESSFUL
SESSIONS IN CITY

One Of the most successful recent
monthly meetings of Indiana florists
was held here today by about 80 mem
bers of the Indiana association and
visitors. Every greenhouse in Rich
mond was visited today
Arrangements were gone into detail
for the annual show of the American
Carnation society at Indianapolis in
January. 1t will be one of the biggest
events in the state for the first month
of the new year. .
Elmer Smith OF Adrian, Mich, one
Of the leading chrysanthemum growers
Of the country, was one Of the guests.
Another was the owner of the Davis
Vegetable Farms near Terre Haute.
There were about IS visiting florists
from Cincinnati an. suburbs, promi-
nent among them J. A. Peterson,
well known plantsman.
Will j. Vesey of Fort Wayne is presi-
dent and O. E. Steinkamp of Indianap-
oils, secretary of the association. No
election was held here.
All the florists arrived before noon,
some reaching here early this morning

and he refused her plea" said the
prosecutor.
Another time. Mrs. Hammond be-
cause of sprained ankle could not
move, yet Of nights Mr. Hammond
would leave her alone and dependent
upon assistance from the neighbors.
There may have been an excuse for
him staying away through the day
while working but there was no rea-
son for his staying away after night.
Begs for His Return
Mrs. Hammond loved her husband.
After she left him in Ripley county
because she could not stand the way
in which he sighted her, Mrs. Ham
lnond begged her husband by many
letters to return to Richmond and to
leave the other woman who was liv-
ing under the same roof with him1 No
response ever came to these letters. :"
Dozens of people gathered in the
circuit room today to hear the trial.
1t is considered as one of the most
pathetic that has been tried in Wayne
county this year. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Hammond are practically invalids.
Mr.. Hammond is fighting the case
on the grounds that he is troubled
with heart disease and is physically
unfit to earn enough to support his
wife.

Cotton Reaches 1917 on
The New Orleans Market
(By Associated Press. J

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1S-The most
sensational advance of this sensational
season in cotton occurred around the
opening of the market today as the re-
suit of the rumor that the tropical hur-
ricane had struck into the cotton re-
sion near Mobile. Prices were lifted
SIS to SO points. nearly $3.50 a bale on
the strongest months. The July option
went to 1917 cents a pound, the high
est price ever recorded on the local fu-
lure contract boards.
The advance of cotton here was reflect
ed on both New York and New Orleans
exchanges where future contracts made
new high records on reports of the gulf
storm and an avalanche of buying or.
derS.
Immediately after the New York mar.
ket opened, futures began their advance
and showed almost immediate net gains
of from so to 60 points before the IL
o'clock call. There was temporary lull
in the buying after the first half hour
of the trading and sharp decline was
recorded. Buyers, however, took advan-
tage of the drop and in a few minutes
prices were soaring again under renew
ed bull pressure.
July contracts scored the highest point
of the day at 10 cents, with May second
at 1896. The gain for July over the
low point of October 9 was 100 points
and the gain for May was 195 points.
January contracts were quoted at 1881,
