Roofing

Is due to the fact that it does not dry
out, as ordinary roofing does. This
is because it is made Of the best quail
ity roofing felt, thoroughly saturated
with blend of soft asphalts-the
formula of the Generals Board of
Expert Chemists. This soft satdra-
ton is then covered with a coating
of harder blend of asphalts. which
prevents the drying-out process, and
keeps CERTAIN-TEED impervi-
GUS to the elements for years after
the harder, drier kinds of roofing
have driod out and gone.

SEA Fight news
SHOCKS STREET
Prices Flustuate Violently, but
at Close Get Back Close
to Normal.

New York, June "A movement In
continuation Of tendencies toward rising
strength with some increase Of animation
was interrupted in the stock market to-
day by the early afternoon news Of the
great naval battle fought in the North
Sea, with an apparent advantage won
by the Germn feet. The sudden an
nouncement Of the naval engagement
furnished the market with a test OF a
surprise which was somewhat emphasized
by the indicated outcome of the encount-
er. Whatever the implications OF the
event for the war, the stock market de-
velopments under the test did not con-
duct to an impairment of constructive
confidence. The net result Of the day
was an irregular array OF price changes
and while final figures were in most cases
well below the best Of the session, quoted
values as a whole were left practically
around the closing level of Thursday.
Up TO the time when the German wire
less report Of the naval action was pub
lished, the main tendency Of the mar
ket was distinctly upward There had
been heavy descriptions conspicuously
among the stocks of the decidedly lag
gard copper group, but even there stub
born underlying stability was displayed.
The railroad quarter again eXhloited ad-
vancing strength and various industrial
specialties rose aggressively, particularly
stocks Of the motor and tire group, which
were affected favorably by reports of
another automobile combination. Mer-
camille Marine shares were actively
bought at advancing quotations, although
the conference of the various interests
involved in the problem of readjustins
the company's capital structure was again
adjourned apparently without reaching
conclusion.

Battle Unsettles List.

W. B. Hibbs and Company yesterday
received the following summary of the
action of the New York list from Logan
and Bryan:
"Advices emanating from Berlin out
lining an important naval victory for the
Germans was responsible for heavy
selling movement which unsettled the list
and provoked declines in nearly all de-
partments. News from British quarters
was lacking. The Teutonic report was
probably in a measure colored. although
1t would appear that the final analysis
wi reveal a balance against the English.
The probable effect OF this happening is
difficult to determine some expressing
the view that a renewal of peace talk
will be encountered. while on the other
hand it is contended that the Anglo
French determination to prolong hostili-
ties will be aubmented.
with the convention close at hand, in
ternational politics again disturbing, labor
difficulties more insistent, the long inter
est in the industrial department rather
extended and the Mexican prospect
clouded the incentive to reduce long
lines should be present, more particular
ly in the instance of metal shares and
especially OF coppers, which have been
freely distributed and which display rath-
er positive dropping tendencies"
