Railroad Situation Affects
Stock Market and Stand
ard Shares Decline

New York August 24.-Professional
tinued delay in the railway labor con-
ferences and their selling made further
inroads upon recent gains, although most
of the net losses were nominal. Trad
ing fell far below the huge totals of the
early week and was characterized by a
succession of moderate advances and de-
clines.
Coppers alone manifested general i'm
provement those issues, with zinc shares,
recovering gains of / to 2 points with
new high record for Inspiration at 56ss.
Rails as a group were heavy when not
reactionary. Reading, ST. Paul, New
York Central, Norfolk and Western and
Baltimore and Ohio yielded to points,
with material recoveries on short cover
ing. Marines denoted further liquidation
to the accompaniment of rumors of
forthcoming reduction of freight rates.
United States Steel and minor indus
trials fluctuated within narrow limits,
steel at no time coming within range of
its high record established on the pre-
vious day and closing at 97ss. fractional

business aggregated about 1900 shares.
Motors were far less prominent than
usual with little speculative interest in

RENEWED STRENGTH.
ON COTTON MARKET.
General List Closed Steady
at Net Advance of 10
to 26 Points

New York. August 24-Cotton
showed renewed strength and activ-
ity today with prices making new high
records on bullish crop and weather
advices. December contracts advanced
to 15.24c, or 26 points above last
nights quotation and closed at 1922
with the general list closing very
steady at a net advance of 10 to rs
points.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of to 10 points and sold 10
to IS points net higher during the first
few minutes. This was in response
to relatively firm cables and the fail
ure of the weather map to show any
further precipitation of consequence in
the southwest. Private cables attrib-
uted the advance in Liverpool to a
feeling that the showers reported In
Texas yesterday had been insufficient
and local buying was stimulated by
the western belt forecast for gener-
ally clear weather. Heavy realizing
was encountered above 15c for new
crop months and there were reactions
of or points during the middle
of the morning. Offerings were read
lily absorbed by broadening outside de-
mand, however, and the market firmed
up again during the middle of the
day on covering and a renewal of bull
support. This advance carried October
up to 1870 and January to 1920, or
23 to 81 points above last nights final
figures and nearly SO per bale above
the low level of yesterday morning.
Buying then seemed to taper off some
what while less optimistic reports as
to the prospects for settlement of
1abnr djfficu1tieS in railroad CirclaS
were accompanied by scattered Wall
street selling.
Rather sharp reactions of 10 or Is
points also reflected reports of scat
tered southern hedge selling on ad-
vances, but offerings were absorbed
by continued commission house buying
or support from trade sources and
closing prices were within a point or
two of the best.

Sugar Market

New York, August 24.-With the de-
mand for refined sugar almost at stand
still. there was no incentive for refiners
to buy raw sugar and offerings of Cubas

holders were even soliciting bids without
finding buyers Prices were entirely
nominal with Cubas offered at AZ cents,
cost and freight, equal to 552c for centri-
fugal and 4.75c for molasses The mar
ket for refined sugar was dull and I'M
changed. Last prices of refiners were

second hand sugars were available at
6.90c.

Islands Disappearing

From the Washington Star.
Are the islands of Chesapeake bay soon
to become nothing more than memories?
Apparently this is true. because coast
survey reports are to the effect that
many of the islands are rapidly being
we shed away The action of high water,
winds and tides, it is stated, is respon-
sible for the gradual disappearance OF
many of them.
Tilghmans Island, for example, about
three square miles in area, is disappearing
at an annual rate that is noticeable. In
1S47 this island contained 20l5 acres, ae-
cording to government Surveys. In 1900
the area of the island had decreased to
$50 acres, and in the last 10 years three
acres more have been washed away along
the bay side The island now has a pop
ulation of about 900 people, mainly sup
ported by the crab and fish industries
Sharps Island is another BODY of land
in Chesapeake bay that is rapidly sue
cumbing to the combined destructive
work of wind and water 1t formerly
was part of Tilghmans Island, being
separated from the latter many years
ago. In 1S4a Sharps Island contained 1873
acres, and in 1910 only SO acres re-
manned. Surveys this summer showed
the islands area to be only 4S acres, and
it is expectd it will have disappeared al
together by 1929. During especially high
tides at this time it is entirely submerged
Nobody lives there now, though at one
time the island had large summer hotel
as we'll as a permanent population. Moth
ing but the shell of the hotel remains
today, all of the other houses and build
ings have been washed away or other
wise removed or destroyed
James Island. another of the lower
bay islands, is two miles long and three
quarters of mile wide. In Ills James
If~,rr -,
SURVEYS of that year. BY 1913. the waves
had washed away 4S5 acres. and in -&ol
only about 500 acres remained. Today the
arear of the island is 42o acres, and not
a soul lives on it.

When Cortez Conquered

From the new 1OrK IeIegTdIH
AS the conqueror of old Mexico Cortez
has won his place in history-and yet on
how many chances did the fame of this
Cortez depend
Had he been cut off on the causeway Of
Mexico or had Narvaez overthrown him,
how conemptuously would all future his
torians have spoken of him.
They would have derided his mad at
tempt to subdue a great. half-civilized
empire with less than 800 men.
AS Cortez was successful everybody Of
course sees how the Mexicans were over
awed and overcome by the novel arms
and skill of the Europeans and how saga
cous Cortez was to foresee this so clearly.

One of the latest improvements in hos

One Of the latest improvements In hos
pital equipment is the invention of
shadowless light for the operating table.
This has been secured by a fixture con-
tanning eight electric lights placed SO
that their rays meet at an angle of 45
degrees. This makes better vision pos
sible in the examination of wounds and
also eliminates the possibility of a deli
cate operation being hindered by the
shadows of the surgeons hands. as is
frequently the case with lights ordinarily
placed. 1t is said that the shadowless
light might lessen the number of acct
dents in many industrial establishments.

The cotton market today withstood
heavy realizing sales again and some
further short selling, but finally closed
at prices near the top.
The failure Of the South Atlantic storm
to materialize caused many to sell out.
only to replace their contracts later on
at higher prices.
The spot markets continue to advance
which puts a damper on bearish opera
lions, and makes reactions hard to bring
about.
The weather in the western belt was
clear, but somewhat cooler, which was a
sort Of negative improvement. The east
ern weather was generally favorable.
Castles was credited with selling out a
portion Of his long cotton, but the mar
ket took it easily and advanced after
wa I'd.
The character Of the buying from now
on should be watched There will come
a time when contracts will pass into
hands that will not be able to stand a
sudden bear drive and big break will
happen.
Not that there would be any apparent

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August A.-An excited mar
ket in Liverpool. due to the advices from
America of the large buying for westert
and Wall street account, resulted in a
similar condition here, where the mere
appearances of brokers believed to be
identified with their operations brought
about an advance. In other words, prices
having reached a point in which the past
have always proved to be too high, none
are prepared to say that they may not go
higher. Yet it is noticeable that the
speculation is confined to the west and
wall street, while the south is ready to
sell and does sell the increasing receipts
willingly at these prices
