most instantly a stout woman, evil
IDENTIFY servant, crossed my range of
vision. She caressed and talked to
the leaping animal and walked to the
fence, as II expecting that the ami
mails arrival prefaced that of its ex-
pected master. She came directly up
to Marvel, the fence between them.
He spoke to her and she answered
him, took a look down the al
ley, and, turning, went back towards
a pretentious appearing mansion
facing the avenue.
Drive to the next street and wait
for u.s." Marvel said to the chauffeur.
and beckoned me to join him.
I'VE will get around to the front
of the house," he remarked, as we
completed the length of the lane, and
turned to carry out this plan. THAT
is the home OF the dog. asked the
woman you saw IL the dog belonged
there"
And she said yes?"
with the addendum that its owner
was the nephew OF her master, and
she wondered why he did not come
home with the animal. as he usually
did"
1t was no task to locate the front
of the lot where the dog had run to
cover. 1t was an imposing stone
structure. We halted In front of it,
and my friend read aloud the name
engraven on the broad old-style sill
yer plate on one of the ornamental
front doors:
Arnold Buckingham"
Then Resilius Marvel looked at me,
and my eyes meeting his expressive
glance, full of wonder. reflected some
what a manifest surprise, IL not a
positive shock In his own.
There was not better name at the
banks than that OF Arnold Bucking-
ham. Resilius Marvel knew Il from
hearsay, and I from practical knowl-
edge OF a financial responsibility rated
way up In the millions. There could
not help but be direct challenge In
my face. My companion simply
shrugged his shoulders.
Come" he said, his course of pro.
cedure boldly formulated In his mind
within the space OF minute, and he
led the way up the steps. rang the
front door bell and stepped inside the
vestibule.

A JoHre Story

An American friend who lives In .
small Western town, where the war
was of only remote interest prior 70
the entry Of America into the struggle
writes to me describing q banquet
which was given in honor Of the visit
of Marshal Joffre and NJ. Yiviani With
characteristic American enthusiasm .
good "crowd" Of spectators found their
way into the banquet hall. At the
close Of the repast some one proposed
a toast to THE Soldiers of France
Marshal Joffre understood the pur'
port of the phrase, but on rising to re-
turn thanks was so overcome with emo
tion that he could not utter single
word. Perceiving his discontinue, NJ.
Viviani rose in his turn, and, seizins
the marshal by the shoulders, kissed
him on both cheeks in the French fssn'
ion. Thus in utter silence these Two
great men expressed their gratitude on
behalf of France. The effect upon the
spectators was overpowering, and IN

Olympiad Revives Craze
For Sports in Japan

Since the Olympiad recently held In
Toxic, young men of the capital have
been seized with craze for athletic
sports of all descriptions. Especially
have they developed enthusiasm for the
Marathon race, which doesn't require
paraphernalia or technical skill. Good
wind" and a sound heart are the chief
requirements. Simplicity and general
accessibility cause it to appeal TO CLERKS
and men employed during the daytin'
at sedentsry work.
Between 10 and IL o'clock every fair
night, after the shops have closed and
the streets are more or less deserted,
one beholds squads Of youths in their
shirts running over the bedewed
ground at steaming speed for some
destination. Employers conniye at this
exercise, as they think it better for
the young men than spending their
evenings in mild dissipation. The 20.
lice do not object, for the nocturnal
sport has not yet become a nuisance.
But there are others who strongly pro-
test.

Industrial
Cotton

Although a renewal of October buy
ing bv brokers whs frequently act lot
the trade caused early strength IN tne
cotton market yesterday, 1t was uhaoie
to entirely counteract the effects OF
favorable weather and crop conditions
and after the market had sold up 10 TO
IS points on active deliveries it turned
weak. prices at one time in the last
hour being to points under the previ-
Gus close. The market finally rallied a
little and left off steady in tone, with
August 7 points net lower and other
positions unchanged to points higher.
Covering orders were in evidence at
the outset, traders evening up for the
week end, and there was also some
buying for Liverpool and wirehouse ac-
count. The South then turned seller,
which was taken TO mean that crop con-
ditions there were quite satisfactory,
and on the reaction which followed
October dropped from 1898 to 23fo.
Among the crop influences were TWO
private reports, one of which made con-
dition 71.9 and the other ~. These
tended to strengthen the belief that the
coming government report VIII sho"
material increase over last month,, anu
to some extent restricted outside buy
ing in the last hour.
The opinion among traders familiar
with growing conditions in the South
was that occasional showers, with sea-
sonaDle temperatures, will produce the
best results in the next few weeks. The
crop has passed through one critical
month with an actual improvement IN
condition, but, bulls pointed out, is fac.
ing another equally as important, and
that the crops ability to withstand a
dry, hot spell be put to the test, al
though it approaches the month with the
soil in excellent condition, especially
the Eastern belt, after recent extended
rains. Advices from Fall River noted
one of the quietest weeks since last
January, sales aggregating 10000 pieces,
including 10000 spots, while curtail-
ment amounted to 10000.

From Trade Journals
Commodity Prices Yielding

Evidence still appears of reversal
of the position of the wholesale COM
modify markets; 80 declines and 80
advances occurring in this weeks list
OF 334 quotations. The most signii-
cant feature has been the reactionary
tendency in the metals, with reduc-
tions of 81 to 81 ton in pig iron, fol-
lowing many months Of continuous AMI
rapid advances, and general yielding in
oil material. Recessions also appear in
copper, though spelter, lead, tin and
tinplate are higher than a week ago.
Among other important articles leather
has been conspicuous for its weakness,
nearly all list quotations being revised
downward, and some descriptions of
hides have also gone lower, while
slight concessions are noted in cotton
goods. In foodstuffs butter and fancy
eggs have risen more or less, corn and
oats have become still dearer and ad-
vances have predominated in meats
and provisions. On the other han B.,
vegetables are again cheaper, and cur
rent prices contrast sharply with the
extreme figures named a few weeks
ago. Elsewhere in food products there
was considerable irregularity raw
sugar tending upward and fine granu-
lated downward, while some grades of
-four went higher and others lower.

such changes as occurred mainly

only as many days a week as is neces-
sary to secure a living. In England
it is a violation of the Defence Of the
Realm act for workman or business
executive to absent himself without
good cause from any work in which
the government has an interest, will
fully to miscarry instructions, or to
impede production in any way. Our
shipbuilding industry illustrates glar-
ingly the lack Of cooperation on the
part of labor. Several Of the large
yards which are building warships ard
merchant vessels not only are handl-
CAPPED By an insufficient number Of
men, but are unable to get full per-
formance from the men they have. A
yard on the Delaware employs 5000
men, and could use $500 more. Mean,
while instructions come from the Sec
retcry of the Navy TO speed up"
Bonuses have been offered to the men
for overtime and Sunday work. Some
Of the workmen will work on Sunday
for double-time pay and clay off" on
Monday, so that actual production is
not increased, but costs are. In fact,
this disposition of the workmen 70
take one or two days off every week
in addition to the Sunday rest is a
problem that may only be solved by
government action. Shipbuilders have
gone to Washington TO get advice on
methods of increasing the number Of
workmen and preventing waste OF
time, but the attitude Of shipping su-
thorites there is that they have
troubles enough on their hands at pres
ent without taking up the labor prob
lem. Nevertheless shipbuilders are con-
vinced that something in the nature
of conscription of shipbuilding labor
must eventually come if our ship pro-
gramme is TO be success. They have
regarded the labor question as OF even
greater seriousness than the differ
ences in the Shipping Board and the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. That
trouble has at last been settled by the
Presidents belated action, but the
present attitude of labor threatens she
activities OF the government through
out the war unless decisive steps are
taken.-The Iron Age.

Copper Market Outlook

During the period of uncertainty
over what the policy Of Washington is
going TO be, the inquiries of domestic
manufacturers have been few and far
between, and, some interests in copper
being desirous of selling, the market
has been weak. Why should any man
ufacturer want to buy when he has
been given to understand by Washing
ton that the price for copper is going
to be reasonable" and is going to BE-
the same TO everybody? OF course,
there is doubt as to what Washington
means by reasonable" 1t is possible
that 81 or 2sc pound will be pro-
nounced reasonable. However, the
idea has been promoted that the price
for copper is going to be lower than
now, and therefore the manufacturer
naturally stays out of the market. If
the price for copper is to be lower, it
will be, we think, owing to natural
conditions and not to any ukase by
Washington. Washington may COM
mandeer copper and other things for
the purposes Of the government, leav-
ing the price to be determined by the
courts, but Washington is not going
TO abrogate the law of supply and de-
mand, no matter what theories on that
subject may be entertained. Manu-
facturers and other consumers of cop
per might as we'll make up their minds
to that. The price for copper is going
70 be determined by the quantity of
it that the world requires. The price
must be such as will produce that
quantity. When unsold stocks begin
to accumulate, the signal will be
hoisted that the world is not needing
so much copper as is being produced,
and after a brief period of stabiliza-
tion the market will commence to go
off. As yet, stocks of copper have not
begun 10 accumulate. II there were
signs of any such accumulation, they
were but sporadic. The supply Of
crude copper was in excess of the re-
fning capacity, and undoubtedly there
we're accumulations of crude copper
However, the check in production by
the current labor troubles is rapidly
reducing any such accumulation, il
complete reduction has not already
happened, and the time is in sight
when the refiners viii not have sufFi .
cient raw material. This Is not a pleas
ant prospect either for domestic con-

Facing the Facts

A great national league is being
formed, which has for its object Wv
ing bread to the public at the lowest
possible cost commensurate with the
price of the raw material and the
actual value Of the service rendered N
producing it. One can join 1t vo'un-
tarily, and, by cooperation, help i 20
gain its object, or he can hang LacE
and be coerced into joining, or put out
of business entirely and permanently.
There will be no room for subterfuge;
the choice is clear. The very best
thing for the baking trade to do is to
come forward in the utmost frankness,
with nothing TO conceal and no undue
advantage TO gain; with but one idea
in mind, that of serving its country
first and itself last. II it does so, II
will win the thanks of the people. but
if it tries any small tricks of trade or
attempts to take any advantage o! the
situation, it will neither deserve or re-
ceive credit, but will be forced tc do
what is required of it in this grea:
emergency. Each baker should con-
slider this issue for himself, whether
he Re a large or a small factor in the
industry, and, having decided in favor
of the right course, ne should act ac-
cordingly in his relations with the
consuming public, putting his. bus.ress
on a basis where it will be above
criticism or suspicion. With an up
right heart and clear conscience he
may then prepare TO meet the future.

Large Contracts for SHIN

The main feature Of interest in II.
steel trade continues to be the MIA,
ing OF contracts for war munition, :,
various kinds by the United st...,
government or by contractors who h,,.
received awards and are supported Nv
the government in securing need.s
supplies. The War Department Ia,
been more energetic in releasing a..
ders long held in allegiance, and N,
Navy Department has issued liber,
specifications for ship plates and %,

There is reason to believe that .her,
is a more satisfactory UNDERSTANDS
between the government and the s,.,l
manufacturers regarding the prices a
be paid for steel plates and shapes FOR
shipbuilding; for other products ther.
is no disposition to cut produeer'
profits to the quick. and the return,
allowed through manufacturers on GOV.
ernment contracts for highly finished
material are eminently satisfactory.
New Contracts
II is intimated at Washington tia,
contracts for seventy-fve more caro-
boats-wood, steel and composite
have been verbally let, and ALREADY
inquiries for $4,000 to 10000 tons Of
steel against some Of these prospeetiv,
orders are being circulated. The FED.
eral Shipbuilding Company, the new
subsidiary of the Steel Corrorator
will require 10000 tons Of steel shape,
for the twelve shipways and buildinu
to be constructed on Newark Bay. The
fabrication and erection Of the steel
will be done by the American Bridge
Company.
The Iron and Steel Institute, through
the wire subcommittee, has allotted
additional orders for 10000 kegs Of
wire nails for construction work at the
various National Guard encsmpments
and 5000 to 5000 kegs for construction
at aviation camps and for numerous
other buildings in the Central West
Specifications were also issued fer
$4,000 tons Of plates for the building
OF war craft and 5000 tons for cargo
boats and for structural work at navy
yards and arsenals. More government
orders for steel pipe, boiler tubes and
tin plate have been distributed and
substantial contracts have been placed
for machinery and machine tools by
the Navy Department.

Stocks
lBy Tns Assodssed Prssl

Short covering was again the para
mount influence in yesterdays light
operations, the oversold condition Of
the list being seen in the TO point
gains recorded by leading stocks, not
ahlV war issues.
Advances were largely surrendered
in the proft-taking Of the final hour,
the market closing, however, with a
firm tone. Shippings, motors, feathers
and secondary specialties shared in the
temporary rise, but rails were ignored
throughout, the only feature in that
division being st. Paul, which retained
half Of its 2 point gain.
United States Steel at one time
showed a one-point rise at l237s, but
forfeited virtually all its advantage,
other industrials and equipments react
ing similarly. Industrial Alcohol was

ing, but yielded in part.
Metals and shippings were incon-
spicuous, except for Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies, which rose almost 2 points
on It's May statement Of earnings, but
soon fell back.
The bank statement reported an
actual loss of almost S5O,OOO,OOO In re-

slightly more than s87,OOO,OOo in excess
reserves, still leaving the total excess
