MARKET FEELS
HEAT; is QUIET
Sale of 10000 Total
Shares Shows Negli-
gible Changes.
by BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Aug. with the
registering 100 official
ly in Wall Street today and with
trading reduced to less than 10000
shares for the entire session. COVER
r,ors of the exchange considered Sc
riously a petition to close all day
Saturday. For \ all the meaning
Quotations had today. the exchange
might as well have been closed.
Cotton was almost as weak as II
was strong the previous day, this
being due to a storm in Texas. Cen
erai Motors had a wide open break
of 8 1-2 points and recovered five of
1t. st. Paul was strong and very
active for such a day. American
Sumatra shorts read with interest
the announcement that only half the
stock that was planned to be issued
may be issued. Announcement was
made that the price of copper would
remain unchanged until November.
:, Report of the Midvale Steel Com
pany for the second quarter of 1918
showed s4.27 earned for the, stock
after providing all war taxes and
other charges. This compares with
$413 in the same quarter last year
and with, $3.50 in the first quarter
this year. The significance of this
report lies largely in the fact that
its best earnings are from iron for
general business purposes. 1t is also
one of the few steel companies to
show. an increase over last years
earnings.
The storm in Texas. in addition to
breaking the price OF cotton, was re-
sponsible for a sharp break in corn.
The corn region is suffering for rain
and such a tornado as swept Eastern
Texas usually is followed by wet
weather. The break in the cotton
market extended as far as 125 points
in the January option. There was
little recovery at the close.
Spectators in the street had little
with which to occupy their minds. St
Paul showed signs of strength but
activity died down almost as sud-
denly as it began. There is little
hope of any sustained movement
either way in the railroads until the
contracts are signed with the gov
ernment. Signature of these con-
tracts is among the possibilities of the
near future, but several points re-
main to be adjusted.
Ohio Cities Gas made a new high
price for the movement and Royal
Dutch was up more than, points.
Mexican Petroleum held steady in
spite of its bad report for 1917 because
of the unusually good outlook of the
company. Baldwin was so active for
a time that it looked like pool work.
American Telephone and Telegraph
fell to the low record price established
a few days ago.

POWELL AT HOG ISLAND.
Former St. Louis Pitcher Now Help
ing Build Ships.

Philadelphia. Aug Z. - Big Jack
Powell. who for years pitched for the
st. Louis Americans. is now working
at Hog Island shipyard. as a first
class mechanic. Jack has given up
baseball although his arm is said TO
be just as good as ever
Big Jack tried to come back this
year with the Browns, but had to give
up the idea when he found he could
not reduce. He spent the entire train
ing period with the Browns, I'm the
South and, while he could fool the
batters as OF old. he found It an i'm
possibility TO get rid Of his excess
baggage and had to quit.
At one time Powell was rated as
one Of the best pitchers in the Amer
lean League and his easy. untiring
motion enabled him TO stick long IN
the big league. He spent sixteen
years fooling big league batters, a
record few pitchers can or ever will
equal.
He started pitching with the st
Louis Nationals in 1893, then hoped
over TO st. Louis Browns when the
jumping was especially lucrative. in
1902. He wore a Brownie uniform
until 1914. when he was forced to step
aside for the younger generation
Even then Big Jack tried a year or
two in the minors with fair. success
before finally giving up the game
Powell is ~ years old and still
would be able TO pitch but for his
extra avoirdupois

most influential men of finance speak
of Gen. Montes as perhaps the most
remarkable of any of the modern lead
ers Of South America. They say that
his activities are especially notable in
the financial field and the perfectng
of the financial system. as well as the
creation Of a national bank OF Bolivia,
and are regarded here as a permanent
memorial Of his ability as "a con-
structive statesman.
A year or two before the outbreak
of the European war Percival Farqu-
har. who gained temporary notoriety
by his advocacy of a large railroad
promotion project in the United States.
and who had earlier promoted certain
important railroad propositions In
South America, planned. the con-
struction of a railroad system In Bo-
livia with intent In that way to make
it possible to open up the very rich
oil deposits in southeastern Bolivia.
Some of the experts who investigated
this Bolivian oil field reported that
there was every evidence that 1t was
one of the greatest oil fields in the
world.
But 1t was unavailable for the lack
of transportation. The country be-
tween the capital of Bolivia and the
oil fields Is OF such character as to
make it very difficult to construct a
railroad. Nevertheless, the worlds
demand for petroleum is great and is
50 steadily increasing that 1t was pre-
sumed to be commercially practi-
cable, no matter what the cost. TO
construct a railroad which would
make it possible to develop this oil
field.
Mr.. Farquhar went to Paris in the
hope that he could secure from the
French bankers sufficient funds to
enable him to carry on this work.
But in that visit he received the first
hints OF the apprehension which the
men of finance of France then felt
that Germany was about to make
war, for they declined to advance any
money, giving as a reason that the
shadow of impending war was grow
ing thicker and thicker and they
were compelled, therefore, to husband
all their resources. Very likely after
the war is ended Gen. Monies may
undertake to secure such financial
aid as will make 1t possible to ex-
ploit the very rich oil fields in south
eastern Bolivia.

fixed on a number of staples by the

1t Is quite an interesting experiment
the government has undertaken, and
20 long as it is conducted with the full

success. But those dreamerS Of gov
