WALL STREET SPENDS
DAY Of INACTIVITY

New York, Aug wall street WAS
IT conservative mood today and no
stock did anything unusual. Steel
was steady and even the cornered
stocks were quiet American Sumatra
was strong in the morning but lost It's
advance early in the afternoon aSpe-
cialists were moved within narrow
limits.
Most Of the traders devoted their
energies TO an attempt TO cure out
the meaning OF the calmness with
which the big United States Steel
earnings were received. They argue
that If Steel with such earnings is
worth only what ii is selling for other
stocks are far too high. They also
devoted some time to their monthly
statements which show that the brok-
ers are charging almost per cent
on margin accounts Taxes worried
them but little.
War news was not of a kind ~ In
huence prices.
Rails were either dull or actually
weak as result of the bad earning
reports for June. The reports were
not particularly bad. however, Of the
wage increase for six months but they
represented the last month Of the old
rate scale July earnings were vastly
1 better and the reports for that month
Will Nbe striking contrast. For July
the roads will have the single month
of wages and In addition will have
/ the larger tonnage carried at the new
| rates. Lines like the Southern Pacific
should make remarkable showinss
Speaking of railroads empha sizes
the fact that by sending thousands Of
American locomotives into Europe
future market is being secured for
American equipment. American pas
senger cars viii follow the locomo-
tives and in time the funny class cars
viii vanish from a land that will also
be rid of its classes.
Cotton was up about IS a bale for
some options following the publica-
7S-6, But even with that low condition
a crop OF above 10000. 600 bales can be
counted on
General Cigar stock was quiet in face
of report showing that in the first
six months of this year II earned
SOC share for the common stock
This compares with ass earned in
the same period year ago 1t con-
firms the general reports OF good to-
hacco business. The American Cigar
Company is said to be doing unusually
we'll also as a result of the comman-
deering of so much smoking tobacco
which is driving thousands of smok-
ers to cigars because they dislike Gig
arettes.
mexican petroleum long expected
annual report was awaited with inter-
est as the street heard 1t would be
made public in a day or two. 1t Is
now expected to show but little more
than 10 per cent on the common stock
but the writing off for depreciation
and exhaustion OF oil lands is said to
have been very liberal Business for
1915 will be discussed in way that
will rob the report of the bearish ef-
feet IL would have If nothing but fg-
ures were given.

TAJIRI GRADUATE OF YALE
New Mayor Of Tokyo, Japan, Finished
His Education in Great Ameri-
can University.

Viscount Inajiro Tajiri, newly elect
ed mayor of the city Of Tokyo, Japan,
is a graduate of the class Of 70 Of
Yale university, where he specialized
In economics, finance, politics and his
tory, says Christian Science Monitor.
Returning to Japan, he was appointed
a secretary in the department of
finance and also to a chair in the I'm
perial university at Tokyo. Suisse
quently he was director of the bureau
Of the national debt, banks and reve-
nue..
In the course of time he was admit
ted to the house of peers, and was vice
minister of finance, first In 1892-1S97,
and again in 1S98-1904. He was made
baron in 1895 and viseount in 1907.
More recently he has been chief of
the board of audit. To knowledge of
the technique of banking, national
finance and international credit the
viscount adds interest in and mastery
of natural science, and In both fields
he is an authority.
His selection as mayor comes after
a long and futile effort of the munich
pal assembly to agree upon a candi-
date chosen from the ranks Of poll
ticians or ordinary civilians.

Death Guided the Plane.

A remarkable. instance occurred
somewhere in France, in which faith
full flyer brought his machine safely
home, although he himself had died
from the effects of wound received
in an encounter with an enemy ma
chine in the air. Knowing that he was
about to die, he propped himself up
in such way that the rudder bar and
control lever were kept in position,
carefully calculated the distance back
to camp and arranged the machine so
that it would volplane safely to the
ground after his soul had departed.
His plans were successful, and when
his Mortified companions fastened to
him they found in his pocket a note
book in which was the information he
had been sent to obtain-"at all costs. "

ON ITS WAY TO SCRAP HEAP
Dialect Known as pennsylvania
Dutch" Bids Fair Soon to Be q
Thing of the Past.

pennsylvania Dutch" that curious
Yankee, which since Revolutionary
times has developed in parts of Penn
sylvania and Ohio, is going into the
discard. For more than a century 1t
has been growing just as languages
always grow, with use. 1t has cor
rupted words, made words, created
forms, one might say grammar Of
its own. 1t has not, 1t is true, pro-
duced literature But it has been the
speech of a considerable number Of
persons in their homes. 1t long since
ceased to be recognizable as German,
and English it never was. In 1t, stu
dents tell us, are mingled German,
English, Welsh, French and even Gaze
lie words.
pennsylvania Dutch" has been the
dialect Of those German disciples Of
Peter Memo who came to America,
some of them in pre-Revolution days,
seeking religious liberty and political
freedom. Some of these went into
OllO 1eSNOlulIOA uuy0 OthChS AZ
to Canada, some as late as Civil war
days. Their religious beliefs contrib
uted to isolation. And they were large
ly an agricultural people. e
Now the word has gone forth among
the Mennonites that it Is no longer
patriotic to speak pennsylvania
Dutch" and as fast and as thoroughly
as possible these unbelievers in war are
discarding the speech Of childhood and
home associations. The task is not an
impossible one to them, since all or
nearly all of them have had some ex-
perience in the common schools. From
among them 5000 young men have
gone overseas to fight the oppressOrs
of their ancestors and the barbarians
who threaten their own liberties.
The banning of pennsylvania
Dutch" is an impressive object lesson
to all Americans. Let's all resolve to
speak English.-Detroit Free Press.

A Wrong Impression.
Market Correspondent

The impression has gone
abroad that the Sacred Heart
Catholic church has subscribed
for but $3.50 of Liberty Loan
Bonds when the correct amount
ND to last evening was $500.
Mrs. John Stelzer and Mrs. H..
K. Chenoweth who have been
active in the matter of having
the church secure a liberal
holding of the bonds, have not
as vet ceased work and it IS
probable that within the next
two or three days the amount
will be still further materially
increased.

Beef Cattle.

Short fed steers are selling
at SIS to $16.75, and grass
steers at $3.50 to $14, but prime
steers are still quotable up to
$40, some selling at that price
yesterday. Chicago reports a
decline of SO to Is cents in the
cattle market at that point to-
day. 1t is possible that unless
receipts are reduced next week
there will be some further re-
auctions in the price at other
markets. Killers here have ex-
ceeded all previous records in
the slaughter of cattle during
the last six weeks, but so far
have been able to keep the beer
moving without congestion in
their coolers. Cow prices have
ruled 25 to so higher this week
