little sage brush and cactus, the rest
is all sand Every night since we
came here We have had sand storm.
Il is something awful when the sand
gets 10 blowing. 1t is so hot the
mercury shows 105 to 125 in the
shade all day long The boys are
all black as negroes. There are
lots of snakes here. All Of them are
poison too Scorpions. tarantulas
and centipedes are as thick as flies up
IN Maine The worst is the diamond
back rather They will strike with
out rafting. We can look
across the Rio Grande from our
camp into Mexico. We use glasses

have not bothered us much yet. Sew

GENERAL FACTORS
INFLUENCE CURB
Railroad Unsettlement and En-
trance of Rumania Into War
Restrict Trading

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-Trading on the
curb was again Influenced by the general
factors of railroad unsettlement and the
new conditions created by the entrance OF
Rumania into the. European war. Bellet
that both these factors would exert an in
huence against higher prices restricted
trading even In speclalties and at the
same time induced moderate amount or
liquidation
The action of the Drlggs-Seabury d.
rectors In passing the dividend on the COM
mon stock yesterday caused decline In
that issue OF points and did not help the
speculative position of other war-order
stocks. Poole Engineering sold at 95 to 80
and losses were sustained in nearly all the
issues traded in. Mldvale Steel reflected
LIQUIDATION because of assertions that divi-
dend action will not be taken until Decem-
her, and sold down from 62A to 81 ". Aetna
Explosives yielded from IL II to llk, and
Submarine sold at 33B.
There was a firmer tone to the motor
stocks, with Chevrolet, after declining from
1856 to 1872, moving up to 100. United Mo-
tors fell from 5sh to 81 and Peerless sold
at24h to "a. The oil stocks were quiet and
generally lower with Sinclair declining from
ssA to 80 Metropolitan Petroleum opened
1874 and rallied TO 14h.
The mining stocks were quiet and showed
little change In prices. Authorized state
ments were made that Rex Consolidated will
begin shipments OF ore at rate OF 100
tons per day about September is.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT WATCHES LABOR

General Feeling is That Strike Will Be Averted-Tono-
pah Belmont Declares Usual Quarterly Dividend.
Movements in Prices Are Marrow

The financial district in thfs city today
devoted the greater part Of It's attention to
the controversy between the railroads and
the employees, and therefore there was very
little business done on the Philadelphia
stock Exchange. While the Street rs n
whole regards the situation with more tim
idity than heretofore there is an underlying
feeling that a strike will yet be averted.
Announcement was made of the declara-
ton of the regular quarterly dividend OF
"a per cent on the stock of the Tonopah
Belmont Company. The dividend is pay
able October to stockholders Of record
September Is. The company's stock made
a small fractional response to the dividend
During the morning session the stock
exchange shares of only 12 companies

Local Bid and Asked
FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK. Aug. 3O-The feature of
the foreign exchange market today has been
the continued strength in rubles the quota
tion having advanced TO 341k as against a
closing of "a yesterday. This is due di-
rectly to the heavy transactions in the Rus
sian Internal 8 hs, of 1926.
These bonds less than 10 days ago were
offered at the price of $500 for each thou
sand rube bond, but had advanced up to
the close yesterday 10 $34O. The heavy sup
ply which was offered through number
of leading bankers and institutions at the
low price referred to was wholly absorbed
within few days and for the last day or
two there has been considerable speculative
interest both In the bonds and In Petro-
grad exchange.
Demand sterling was quoted at 4.75A
and cables, 4.76 7-16. Franc checks were

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-In the face or
bullish private condition figures the cotton
market this morning had an irregular open
from from / point higher to 13 lower being
generally lower than last night
The reason assigned was unloading be-
fore the bureau report, participated IN oy
Wall street, uptown interests and commits
sion houses.
The supply was so we'll absorbed by new
buyers, however, that soon after the open
ing most of the loss had been regained' ana
at 1920 o'clock the market was only few
points under last nights close on actiVe
months.
Today's reports included the Journal of
Commerce, 64.3; Giles, 647, and National
Ginners, rumored at 627.
There was rain in southern Texas and
cool weather in Oklahoma, with showers
also in parts OF the eastern belt
The market showed nervousness and ir-
regularity during the morning, but the
fluctuations were not as wide as they were
earlier in the week. while 5purts or activity
were followed by, periods of comparatively
quiet trading. In general way however
the tone was fairly steady, and after the
early declines prices rallied to about last
nights closing figures on the more active
months while October sold four points
higher Liverpool was good buyer OF the
near positions, and on the advances there
was evidently further realizing for over
tomorrow's Government report. The show
ers reported in the eastern belt were con-
sidered favorable but there was some divi-
sion of opinion as to the effect OF the
showers reported in southwest Texas, and
some uneasiness was caused by reports of
tropical disturbance near Jamaica. A can
vass of 81 members of the Cotton Exchange,
as TO the showing of tomorrow's Government
report, averaged 633 per cent.

CHICAGO Aug 30.--wheat had another
sharp drop today and, although prices at
one time were bc to hc above yesterday $
close. the final figures showed losses OF
4 &c to 4Ac, but they were point or more
above the lowest of the day.
Virtually the only influence was the
railroad strike situation, which seemed to
affect sentiment more than Mt any previous
time. The selling was general, led by COM
mission houses
Although rumors of postponement of 80
days before the beginning of the strike
caused a spasmodc demand, the large buy
ers seemed to be holding OFF
Receipts in the Northwest continued lib
eral and weather conditions were favorable
for threshing.
At times during the session the large
local operators took hand in the buying
side, but their activities generally came
when there was break in values.
Only small fractional losses were re-
corded by corn, although the market was
of nervous character
Oats were weak and at the end showed
losses of u to 1hc.
